Speaker 3: Well.

32
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how you spent your weekend, but I

33
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: was at Chuck E Cheese last night felt like I

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: was a kid again. Not just for any old reason,

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: but it came to my attention that Chuck E Cheese

36
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: is moving away from animatronics. What I could remember being

37
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: a kid being both memorized, mesmerized and also scared out

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: of my mind looking at these large moving mice and

39
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: dogs and whatever these things were. The moose, the band

40
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: this is the Munches Make Believe band, and this band is,

41
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: you know, just something that only the eighties could really

42
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: bring about in this world. Right. So, we were at

43
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: the Northridge, California location last night with the CEO of

44
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese and also Nolan Bushnell, the founder of

45
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese. He also founded Atari, so he has

46
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: been instrumental in all things technology throughout the years, and

47
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: he came up with the idea of this these animatronics.

48
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: But here's the deal. Chuck E Cheese is changing with

49
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: the times. They are ditching the animatronics for something they

50
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: call Chuck E Cheese two point zero. Bobo definitely a

51
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: kid of the eighties doesn't want this to go away.

52
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: I know, I know four hundred Chuck E Cheese locations.

53
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: Many of them have already gotten the upgrade, and the

54
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: upgrades are now an interactive dance floor and a video wall.

55
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: So the I guess the entertainment is going to be

56
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: on this video wall.

57
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: But here's the good news.

58
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: For those of you that live in California, specifically Los Angeles,

59
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: you can visit the Northridge, California location and see Munch's

60
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: Make Believe Band in all their glory. This is going

61
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: to stick around permanently. There you go. And I had

62
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: to go back in my files of because we had

63
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: my kids like sixth party, a sixth birthday party at

64
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: this Chuck E Cheese location, and I had to go

65
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: back and look, because last night, I will tell you,

66
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: this band was really spruced up, like they looked good.

67
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: They were in there, like everything was clean. It looked

68
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: like this was like brand new. And so I looked

69
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: back in my pictures and sure enough, this band is

70
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: completely cleaned up from the way it was six years ago.

71
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: Like this is the best case scenario of a Chuck

72
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: E Cheese band. It's bright, they are all kind of

73
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: clean and working, and you know, all the outfits are

74
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: brand new. And so they really revamped this band to

75
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: make them look their best. So last night with the

76
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: was the grand reopening. Like I said, the CEO was there,

77
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: no one was there. They explained this whole thing. They

78
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: explained the changeover where they're changing with the times, and

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: now this Northridge location is going to be a place

80
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: that people will stop at when they come to California,

81
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: when they come to Los Angeles, when they come to Hollywood,

82
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: this Chuck E Cheese location will be a place they

83
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: want to stop mostly for the parents, because the kids

84
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: they don't really remember this stuff, they don't even know

85
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: about this stuff. But for parents of a certain age,

86
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese was a big part of their childhood.

87
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: Going into this darkly lit place that had games in

88
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: pizza and food and the cake that I remember that

89
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: was so delicious. It's all kind of changing, and it's

90
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: the tickets are gone, the physical tickets are gone. The

91
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: games are more fun, they're new. I mean, let's be honest,

92
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: they're competing with the iPad. That is no easy feat.

93
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: Kids are like they see animatronics are like really a

94
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: thing that kind of moves with pneumatics, like come on.

95
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: So anyway, that is the story. If you want to

96
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: see it, it's on my Instagram at rich On Tech.

97
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: You can check out the band in all of their glory.

98
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: And when you come to Los Angeles, when you come

99
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: to Hollywood, you have to make a stop in little

100
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: Old Northridge, California to see this Chuck E Cheese location,

101
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: the only one in the nation that will feature the

102
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: original animatronic band and by the way, the future of

103
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese. They announced it last night. Trampolines. They're

104
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: going to be adding trampolines at their locations, which is interesting,

105
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: but I guess they want to keep kids active and

106
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: give them a place to jump around. And I know

107
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: that those like sort of sky zone places are very popular.

108
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: But anyway, it's always fascinating to me when you see

109
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: places changing with the times. And we'll see, we'll see

110
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: how it all works out. Oh, I thought this was

111
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: really interesting. So Google has a new way to shop.

112
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: And it takes a lot to impress me with shopping tools,

113
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: but this one does. And I got to say, Google

114
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: obviously is scouring the web on a daily basis, and

115
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 2: if you search in shop deals on Google, this is

116
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: a brand new destination where they are. They're always looking

117
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 2: at the prices of things online because in the course

118
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: of searching the web, they are noticing what the prices

119
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: of popular products are.

120
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: And of course if.

121
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: It goes down from one week to the next or

122
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: one day to the next, Google sees a trend. And

123
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: so now someone at Google got the smart idea of saying,

124
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: you know what, why don't we put all of these

125
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: things that we're tracking on one page and tell people

126
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: about the items that have the biggest price drops.

127
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: And so that's what they're doing.

128
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: So if you go to Google dot com and search

129
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: shop deals, you will see a bunch of popular categories.

130
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: I'm looking at cell phones, I'm looking at cameras, I'm

131
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: looking at laptops. I'm looking at tablets, headphones, all kinds

132
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: of categories, TVs, watches, toys. You can see the products

133
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: that have the best price drops. So, for instance, in

134
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: the TV category, this uh wow Insignia TV forty nine

135
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: ninety nine thirty seven percent off, Samsung q Leeds Smart

136
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: TV thirteen hundred bucks, thirty five percent off. When you

137
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: look at headphones, Apple Beats Solo three fifty percent off

138
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: ninety nine dollars. Tablets a Samsung Galaxy tab A seven

139
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: light one hundred thirty bucks, thirty five percent off.

140
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: Let's see what else?

141
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: A chromebook fifty percent off one hundred and fifty bucks

142
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: at best Buy, on and on and on, Samsung Galaxy

143
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: S twenty two three ninety nine forty two percent off.

144
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: So again, shop deals is the magic search. If you're

145
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: looking for a specific thing, just put that title in

146
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: between shop deals. So for instance, shop Apple Watch deals

147
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: will bring up the cheapest Apple watches. Now you have

148
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: to remember the top line is always going to be sponsored.

149
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: So if you don't want the sponsored stuff, which you know,

150
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: that's fine, but you can move down past and you'll

151
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: see the actual stuff that Google is cataloging. That is

152
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: percentage off. So I thought that was pretty interesting. I

153
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: thought that was pretty useful. I'm always on the lookout

154
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: for better shopping tools, especially as we are heading into

155
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: this season of shopping, and this was also interesting. I

156
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: had a friend at work say, hey, Rich, is there

157
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: any way to get a document that I have onto

158
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: my Kindle? How do I get a document like a

159
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: word document or anything else a pdf onto my Kindle?

160
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: I said, It's very very easy. You go to.

161
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: Amazon dot com slash send to Kindle. So if you

162
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: have a PDF, you've got a document, you've got a

163
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: text file, whatever you have, even JPEGs and anything you

164
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: have up to two hundred megabytes, you can just drag

165
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: and drop on this website and it will send it

166
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: to your Kindle. So if you need to read a

167
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: large document for work, you have an ebook, someone gave you,

168
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: whatever you've got, just go to Amazon dot com slash

169
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 2: send to Kindle.

170
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: That is the letter's t o send to Kindle.

171
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: You drag and drop and you can now read anything

172
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: you want that you have as a document on your Kindle.

173
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: Why do you want to do that? Well, the Kindle's

174
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: so nice.

175
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: The Kindle has a great screen, it's not a table

176
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: it's a it's not like a tablet screen like your iPad.

177
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: It's much easier on the eyes because it is a

178
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: paper sort of looking document. So again, you want to

179
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: send something to your kindle Amazon dot com slash send

180
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: to kindle, very very easy. He tried it that night

181
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: and he said, Rich it worked. I said, well, yeah,

182
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I told you it would.

183
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up, Uh, I got to tell you

184
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: about this new AI pin.

185
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: This thing has taken the tech world by storm, for

186
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: better or for worse. You got to see what you

187
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: think about this device. It is AI on a device

188
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: that you wear. So we'll talk about that. Plus we'll

189
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: take your questions at triple eight rich one oh one

190
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

191
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: This is rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

192
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: Rich Demiro here talking technology at triple eight rich one

193
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 2: oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two

194
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 2: four one zero one. If you have a question about technology,

195
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: give me a call. We got Kim standing by to

196
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: get you on the air. So I told you about

197
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 2: this device called Humane AI, and we're gonna have a

198
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: guest talk about this. They went hands on with this thing,

199
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: but I'll tell you what it's all about, because it

200
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: is kind of like one of the biggest stories in

201
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: the tech world right now, and it's a head scratcher.

202
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: This is a startup called Humane h u m an E.

203
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: It's called the AI Pin. This is a new wearable

204
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: AI assistant device and it's kind of an entirely new platform.

205
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: So the way that the iPhone introduced apps, they are

206
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: hoping that this new device might be similar to that.

207
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: And so you wear this device and the best way

208
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: to describe it, I mean, it's really tough to describe

209
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: what it looks like.

210
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: It looks like a.

211
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: Tiny it's a pin. I don't know, it's a seven

212
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: hundred Oh I should tell you the price, seven hundred dollars.

213
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: So this is a seven hundred dollars pin that has microphones,

214
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: It has a laser projector on it, it has no screen,

215
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: has some lights, and it has a speaker. And the

216
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: idea behind this device is that you can sort of

217
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: ditch your smartphone and be more present and use AI

218
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: to help you out in this world. So it is

219
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: screenless and it has a voice activated AI assistant on it,

220
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: so you can ask it things like Hey, catch me

221
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: up on my email, or Hey, what was the name

222
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: of the twenty third president, and it will search the web,

223
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: search AI and bring that information back to you. It

224
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: can also play music, it can also take pictures. It

225
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: can do real time translation. So it is kind of

226
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: a device of the future that really capitalizes on artificial intelligence.

227
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: And some of the biggest backers are Microsoft, Open AI, Qualcom.

228
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: T Mobile provides the data connectivity. So it's six hundred

229
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: and ninety nine dollars and twenty four dollars a month

230
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: for this device. And so as I understand it, you

231
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: can put your hand out in front of you. It

232
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: will project out the screen onto your hand, so you

233
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: can read little things or see little things.

234
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: It can take pictures.

235
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: It's got an apparently all day battery use, so you

236
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: can swap the battery as you're using it, and that

237
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: way you can use.

238
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: It all day.

239
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: And they said they've put a strong focus on privacy

240
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: and security, so apparently it's not listening all the time,

241
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: but you can ask it to do stuff at any time.

242
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure how that works. And the bottom line.

243
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: About this device is that the people who got to

244
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: try it out first sort of got to see it

245
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: in action, but they didn't necessarily get to try it

246
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: in action, so they got to see a lot of

247
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: demos of how this stuff works. But this is kind

248
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: of like the first big major startup that is leaning

249
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: very heavily into AI.

250
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm kind of unsold on this thing.

251
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: But we're gonna have Brian Heater of tech Crunch to

252
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: talk about this a little bit later in the show

253
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: because he went hands on, or I should say I

254
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: guess eyes on in a demo, and it's it's one

255
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: of those things where you kind of have to see

256
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: it to understand it. I don't really get it. I

257
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: feel like we've got our phones. People are a very

258
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: much attached to their phones.

259
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: I get it.

260
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: We're trying to be a little bit more screenless, we're

261
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: trying to be a little bit more present, But at

262
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: the same time, it feels like you can replicate a

263
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: lot of what this device does using a smart watch

264
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: or your phone or a combination of both. And to

265
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: go and spend seven hundred dollars on a new device

266
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: to do all this stuff, I just don't know. So again,

267
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: Humane AI Pin, We'll have to watch that one. Angie

268
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin, writes in on the website rich on tech

269
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: dot TV. I'm ten years behind great show. I keep

270
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: my phone in the side pocket of my yoga pants

271
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: while cleaning houses for work. I'm done having kids, but

272
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: wondered if that's still a carcinogen risk having the phone

273
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: in the side pocket. I have AirPods and a watch,

274
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: but with them both, I like the phone close. I

275
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: admire your positivity. Angie in Wisconsin. Well, Angie, I am

276
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: no expert in all things health, and I would be

277
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: remiss if I didn't say I've thought about this before,

278
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: and I'm sure many people have. We've seen a whole

279
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: cottage industry of gadgets pop up that purport to take

280
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: the radiation away from phones or angle it away from

281
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: your face or your head or whatever. And yes, many

282
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: of us do carry our phones in our pockets.

283
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

284
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I've heard from experts that we're okay, and

285
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: we have gone thirty years with these smartphones, and the

286
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: conclusion is still sort of that we haven't seen an

287
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: increased connection between cancer and the smartphone. And so I

288
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: want to believe that we can believe that. But I

289
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: will say my one concern that I do have is

290
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: the fact that I wear an Apple Watch on my wrist. Now,

291
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: with the phone, I go eight, ten, twelve, fourteen hours

292
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: where it's not in my pocket, whereas with my Apple Watch,

293
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: it is on my wrist the entire day and except

294
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: for when I sleep, and for some people it is

295
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: on their wrist when they sleep. And so I will

296
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: say I am more concerned about that being so close

297
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 2: to my wrist and the potential for issues there because

298
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: it is on your body at all times. Now, the AirPods,

299
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 2: you know, with the Bluetooth, I'm not really concerned about that.

300
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: You know, you put them in and you take them out.

301
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: I don't really think that's doing much. But I will

302
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: say with the specifically cellular connection on your wrist, that

303
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: does concern me a little bit. Especially kids. They're having

304
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: these things on their wrist for a long long time.

305
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: In their lifetime.

306
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: So, Jerry still out, good question. I think it's important

307
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: to be concerned with this stuff, but not, you know,

308
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: too concern all right, coming up, Jeremy Kaplan Wonder Tools Newsletter,

309
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: Let's learn about AI. You're listening to Rich on Tech.

310
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

311
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 2: out talking technology with you at triple eight rich one

312
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two

313
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: four one one zero one. Give me a call if

314
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: you have a question about technology. Joining me now is

315
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: Jeremy Kaplan, director of Teacher, Teaching and Learning at Qune's

316
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: Grad School of Journalism. He is the creator and writer

317
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: of wonder Tools on substack. This is a great AI

318
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: newsletter where he shares all kinds of useful tools that

319
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: have to do with AI.

320
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: Jeremy, thanks so much for joining me.

321
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: Great to be here with you.

322
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: So what made you start this newsletter on subsac.

323
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 5: There's a huge amount of technology coming at us every day.

324
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 5: It can be overwhelming, and I want to help people

325
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 5: understand it and make the most of it.

326
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: And so when you first heard about chat GBT, is

327
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: that what got you into this. I mean, it's only

328
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: been less than a year since that launched.

329
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 5: It's been definitely something that got me really excited about AI.

330
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 4: But I actually started the newsletter when the pandemic hit.

331
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 4: I was alone in my home and.

332
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 5: People were alone in their homes all over the country

333
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 5: and trying to figure out how to live online.

334
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 4: And I wanted to help people.

335
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: So I've now written two hundred posts to help people

336
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 5: in different ways with technology, including AI.

337
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 1: Okay, so did you sort of when you first started

338
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: it was AI the focus or did you kind of

339
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: pivot to that.

340
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: I pivoted to that first.

341
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 5: It was Zoom and figuring out, you know, how do

342
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 5: we have online meetings, how do we teach online, how

343
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 5: do we work online? How do we live online and

344
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 5: have fun online and meet people? So it was all

345
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 5: of that online living, and then when AI hit with chagpt,

346
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 5: it just became the AI revolution.

347
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: Wow, and during the pandemic, bring us back to that

348
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 2: time because it was such a you know, no one

349
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: knew what was next, and so of course everyone was

350
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 2: hopping on Zoom and all these different tools. We all

351
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: learned how to work online and remote. What was it

352
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: like for this newsletter?

353
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: You know, it was a way for me to connect

354
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 5: with people and to help people. You know, I couldn't

355
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 5: necessarily volunteer in hospitals. I don't have a medical background,

356
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 5: but I was a teacher, and I saw other teachers struggling,

357
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 5: including you know, my kindergartener had a teacher who just

358
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 5: didn't even know how to work our computer, and so

359
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 5: I just saw all these teachers and other people who

360
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: needed help with technology, and that was something that I

361
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 5: could try to help them with. And so that was

362
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 5: the purpose of the newsletter and step by step, one

363
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: tool at a time each week, giving them some guidance,

364
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 5: giving them some gestions and practical tips for just ordinary people,

365
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: not for technology experts.

366
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: That's the key right there. So what you know, how

367
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: do you find these new tools? I mean, there's so

368
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: many obviously coming out every week. How do you find them?

369
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: And how do you decide what to feature?

370
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: Well?

371
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 5: I love exploring technology. Some people like phishing, some people

372
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 5: like driving. I love technology. So I explore technology, you know,

373
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 5: in the free hours that I have, and when I

374
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 5: stumble upon something that makes me say wow, or or

375
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 5: that I see has a really useful application or way

376
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: to use it, I stop and dig in. And I

377
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 5: call it pickstick and dig as the approach. So I

378
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 5: picked something, I really stick with it for a while

379
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 5: and then dig into how it can be useful.

380
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: So before you kind of talk about some of these

381
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: you know, apps and things that you really like and

382
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: you use on a daily basis, tell me about AI.

383
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, because people are concerned about it, They worry

384
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: about it. They don't know what the future of AI is.

385
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: What's your take on AI?

386
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 5: So I think it's a tool like any other tool.

387
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 5: The phone is a tool, the mobile phone is a tool,

388
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 5: laptop is a tool. All of those can be used well,

389
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 5: or they can be misused. They can be used to

390
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 5: send spam, or they can be used to be to

391
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 5: send a life saving message to somebody.

392
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: So I think, like all those other tools, AI.

393
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 5: Can be used for great purposes, for efficiency, for creativity,

394
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 5: and it can also be misused and used to create

395
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 5: misinformation or to recavoc So it's all a matter of

396
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 5: how we use it and setting some guidelines and some

397
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 5: best practices.

398
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: So we've got the main you know, chat EBT, you've

399
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: got clawed from Anthropic, you've got barred from Google.

400
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: What do you make of those tools?

401
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 5: So they're all fantastic in their own way. So, for example,

402
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 5: claud allows you to upload up to seventy thousand words,

403
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 5: so you can give it an entire book or a

404
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 5: huge PDF with your whole company set of company policies,

405
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 5: and guide a new person to your company with here

406
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 5: are some of the key principles, right, So they don't

407
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 5: have to read seventy thousand words of a giant PDF,

408
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 5: for example. Or you can upload a huge amount of

409
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 5: data that you're just trying to get a sense of

410
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 5: and understand, or a document in multiple languages that you

411
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 5: may not speak so for the purpose of understanding large

412
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 5: giant documents. Claude is fantastic and I've written about it

413
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 5: in Wonder Tools. Chat GPT has something that's really unique,

414
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 5: which is this app store. So there are more than

415
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 5: a thousand different apps now that plug into chat GPT,

416
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 5: and they do things like connect to Canva, for example.

417
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: So you can ask chat gpt to create a drawing

418
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 5: for you, or a design for your company, or a

419
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 5: poster or a slide or any number of visuals. So

420
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 5: that's something that's unique to chat gpt for example. So

421
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 5: each of them has their unique capabilities. And now there's

422
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 5: a whole of other AI tools beyond just the chat

423
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 5: tools as well.

424
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: So the more I think about AI and specifically Google,

425
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: the more I kind of realize why Google was slow

426
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: to roll out something like chat GBT, Because once you

427
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: get on board with like even Bard, you realize that

428
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: it completely changes the way you search the Internet. You

429
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: know right Now, when you search the Internet, it's kind

430
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 2: of like you know, hunt and peck, right, You're looking

431
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: and you click a link and you don't find what

432
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: you need, and you go back and you click another one.

433
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: And that's great for Google's business model. But when you

434
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 2: go to like one of these AI tools and you

435
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: ask for information, and yes, I understand that sometimes that

436
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: information can be false or you know, hallucinations, but it's

437
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: a totally different way of finding information versus that kind

438
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: of clicking a lot of links that might lead you

439
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: to a sponsored link or you know, a paid post.

440
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: What do you think about that idea?

441
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 5: I think you're absolutely right, Rich. I think the web

442
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 5: can be overwhelming. And when you search Google and get

443
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 5: a thousand different links and you have no way of

444
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 5: verifying you know, one from another, it's just overwhelming. And

445
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 5: it's a lot more efficient in many cases if you

446
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 5: can tailor a specific request to an AI engine that

447
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 5: you can actually trust. Now, the question is can you

448
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 5: actually trust the results? And what I've found is that

449
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 5: the AI engines work best as language engines and work

450
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 5: not quite as well as knowledge engines. So that's where

451
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 5: there's a distinction with what Google's doing. And so when

452
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 5: you're putting in a piece of language and saying, hey,

453
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 5: help me make this paragraph more concise, or help me

454
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 5: make sure I've got the grammar and the spelling of

455
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 5: this language, or help me translate this language, or help

456
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 5: me summarize this complicated scientific language. For those language purposes,

457
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 5: the AI works terrifically well as a kind of language engine.

458
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 5: When you get into the factual questions, you know, explain

459
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 5: to me the history of this topic. In many cases

460
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 5: you will get a majority, you know, accurate kind of

461
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 5: piece of information. But the fact that you get a

462
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 5: little bit of that hallucination up to three percent in

463
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 5: a recent research study of content that you get back

464
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 5: when you ask a knowledge based question is hallucinated information.

465
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: So if you have that.

466
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 5: Three percent faulty rate, it's not as trustworthy. Now, of course,

467
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 5: when you search Google, you could land on a site

468
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 5: that has information that itself is not trustworthy.

469
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 4: So we always have to be a skeptic. In the end.

470
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 5: It's always up to us to kind of use our

471
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 5: skepticism and judge for ourselves what's accurate and what might

472
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 5: not be.

473
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: And as a journalist, you know, you got to fact

474
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: check everything you can't just take it at face value here, okay,

475
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: So can you share some tools that people might not

476
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: have heard of that are useful, fun interesting? Do you

477
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 2: have anything that you can talk about?

478
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

479
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 3: So.

480
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 5: Oasis is one of these new tools that I use

481
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 5: almost every day. It's a what I call a bionic

482
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 5: dictation tool, which basically means it's a voice recorder or

483
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 5: a dictation tool, just like your voice memos app, for example,

484
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 5: on your phone, but it does something really powerful in

485
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 5: addition to that, So instead of just recording your voice,

486
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 5: it also transcribes what you're saying, and in addition to

487
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 5: transcribing what you're saying, it will transform what you're saying.

488
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 5: So what I use it for is to list out

489
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 5: ideas thoughts I have for article, or for a letter

490
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 5: I'm writing, or for a class I'm teaching, whatever I'm

491
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 5: thinking about planning, ideating a presentation, and it will give

492
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 5: me multiple versions of that content. So we'll give me

493
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 5: that content just as a transcript, but it will also

494
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 5: summarize the key points that I've said, it will put

495
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 5: it in an outline format, it will create a blog

496
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 5: post version of that or an email version of that.

497
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 5: And recently I was doing a couple of vertical videos.

498
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 5: I asked it to give me a vertical videoscript format

499
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 5: of that ideation that I was doing, and it did

500
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 5: that as well. So the key thing here is it's

501
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 5: my own ideas. It's not pulling that information from somewhere online.

502
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 5: It's taking my own idea, but it's just transforming the

503
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: way that language is presented. It's putting it in a

504
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 5: summary format or an outline format or a script format.

505
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 4: So that's super.

506
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 5: Useful as a way to augment my own ideation process

507
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 5: and to help me basically organize my ideas more efficiently.

508
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 5: And it's been a super super helpful part of my

509
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: brainstorming and my creative process recently. And it's called Oasis,

510
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: and you can use it completely for free, and I

511
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 5: have no affiliation with them, by the way, it's.

512
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 4: Just something I use in life.

513
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 5: You can use it completely for free, or you can

514
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 5: pay a five buck a month, you know, kind of

515
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 5: freemium payment to use it a little bit more.

516
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 4: And so that's a great one.

517
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 5: There's another tool it's very similar, called audio Pen and

518
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 5: they both do essentially the same kind of idea of

519
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 5: bionic transcription, where you essentially are using your voice and

520
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 5: generating you know, the materials for yourself in a new

521
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 5: way with AI.

522
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Okay, we have time for one more. You

523
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: have one more you want to talk about?

524
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 4: Sure? Sure.

525
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 5: Another one that I use and really like is called

526
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 5: blocks b l oks dot app, And what that does

527
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 5: is allow me to record any meeting, either an in

528
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 5: person meeting or a meeting online. And it sits on

529
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 5: my laptop so that it doesn't have to join the

530
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 5: meeting for example, So it works on any platform, but

531
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 5: it also works in an in person meeting. Of course,

532
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 5: you need the permission of the person. You don't want

533
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 5: to record people surreptitiously, but you ask if it's okay.

534
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 5: And usually what I tell people is, I'd love to

535
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 5: send you a summary of this conversation. Is it okay

536
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 5: if I record it so that I can transcribe it

537
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 5: and summarize it and share that with you. And it

538
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 5: creates a nice transcription of that, a summary of the meeting.

539
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 5: It even will include action points, and then you can

540
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 5: query it. You can say, what were the three things

541
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 5: we talked about when we came at the toward the

542
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 5: end of the meeting, You can ask it questions and

543
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 5: get just that.

544
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 4: So it's like having an assistant.

545
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 5: Next to you helping you and keeping track of your

546
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 5: meetings and your notes, so you don't have to manually

547
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 5: write down everything and you don't forget anything. So that's

548
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 5: a free tool and I really love it. I'm using

549
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 5: it regularly for most of my meetings these days. So

550
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 5: that's another super helpful AI tool that you.

551
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 4: May not have heard of. And I've written about these

552
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 4: in wonder tools, so if.

553
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 5: People are interested, they can they can dig into that

554
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,040

Speaker 6: a desire to get a new TV to the bedroom,

572
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 6: but I'm not sure what to look for and look

573
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 6: at and one's an advice.

574
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for finding the show. You're you're looking for

575
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: a TV.

576
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 6: Som TV, something that you know get into the twenty

577
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 6: first stating okay.

578
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: And so do you have a TV in another room

579
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: that has kind of the smarts or do you like

580
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: what are you using for your prime Mary TV?

581
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, as a just a flat string TV and the

582
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 6: dand is a smart TV. But the bedroom is not

583
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 6: not that new of the TV. I'm not sure what

584
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 6: it is. I was gonna buys one, but I was

585
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 6: talking with some people and they said be careful about

586
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 6: buying from Walmart, Target places like that. They'll have they

587
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 6: have older, you know, TVs, and I don't know what

588
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 6: to look for. I'm just wanting to buy.

589
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I think the main thing you have to

590
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: think about when it comes to a TV is do

591
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: you want the smarts to be built into the TV

592
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: or do you want to add the smarts later. So

593
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: if you're if you're looking for the smarts to be

594
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: built into the TV, you've got a couple of options.

595
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: You've got Roku, You've got Google TV, and you've got

596
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: fire TV, and those are kind of like the three

597
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: main operating systems in addition to you know, the operating

598
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: systems that the TV manufacturers have. So then you have

599
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: Visio they have their own operating system, and also LG

600
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 2: has one called web OS. So it's a lot to

601
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: think about because if you get one of these TVs

602
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: with this built in, you have to like both the

603
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: TV and the operating system behind the TV, and then

604
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: you have to figure out, well, does the operating system

605
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: have the apps that I want? Now, every TV in

606
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: the world is going to have access to things like Netflix,

607
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: but then when it comes to you know, more obscure apps,

608
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: that's where you may have to make sure the TV

609
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: platform that you want has what you need. So if

610
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: you like something like you know, Curiosity stream or you

611
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 2: know some sort of like documentary streaming service, you want

612
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: to make sure that it's available on these So my

613
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: personal preference, I think Roku is very very popular. They

614
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: have a good combination of TVs that are inexpensive, good

615
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: value TCL that's kind of the TCL Roku TVs. Those

616
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: have always been a very very strong TV choice. I

617
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: think when it comes to Amazon, if you're looking to

618
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: buy one online, the Fire TVs, I like the software,

619
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: you know, the TV itself doesn't get the best reviews necessarily,

620
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: but they're always a good value. And we are coming

621
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: up into Black Friday, the Cyber Monday, the holiday shopping season.

622
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of deals on TV,

623
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: so I would wait until this shopping season sort of starts.

624
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: And by the way, Amazon's kicking it off a week

625
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: early this year on the seventeenth, so that's when we're

626
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: going to start seeing a lot of deals on these TVs. Now,

627
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: when it comes to the best, best best TVs, which

628
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't think you need in the bedroom, the LG

629
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: O LEDs are clearly ranked number one all the time.

630
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: The G three specifically is probably the top of the line,

631
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 2: as is the Sony A ninety five K. That's what

632
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: are the last time we had a TV editor on

633
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: that's what they recommended. Now when it comes to mid

634
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: range TVs, that's probably what you want in the secondary room,

635
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 2: So I would say a TCL or a high Sense

636
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: might be the best case scenario. Now, personally, I like

637
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: to add my smarts later on to the TV because

638
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: I like to pick the device that I'm using for

639
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: my platform, and I really like the fireTV platform, so

640
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: you can get a fire TV stick to add to this.

641
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: What's really cool is that the new Fire TV stick,

642
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: the four K Max, has what's called ambient technology, so

643
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: when you're not using the fire stick, your TV sort

644
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: of turns into a picture frame, and that's really cool.

645
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: Google also does that with their Chrome Cast, their Google

646
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: TV device, not the regular Chrome Cast, but the Google TV,

647
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: and it's great if you use Google Photos. Apple TV

648
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 2: is another way to get it. If you're an iPhone person,

649
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: you know, Apple TV obviously is going to work very

650
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: nicely with the iPhone, But the Apple TV itself is

651
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: much more expensive than any of the other streaming devices.

652
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: But when it comes to buying.

653
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: The TV at Walmart or Target, I think, to be

654
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: quite honest, it really comes down to looking up some

655
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 2: reviews online of the best TVs that you can buy,

656
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: and places like Wirecutter offer great reviews. Digital Trends has

657
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 2: great reviews of TVs. There is no plethora, there's no

658
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: shortage of TV reviews online. So I think it comes

659
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: down to the brand that you get and the model

660
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: that you get. And also it used to be very

661
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 2: important when it came to like how many HDMI ports

662
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: and things that were on TVs. That's getting less important

663
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 2: as people are streaming everything. So I think you find

664
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: a size at a price that you like, and you

665
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: make sure it has the features that you like. Obviously

666
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: you want something that's four K and something that you

667
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 2: can add one of these streaming devices to. I think

668
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: that's gonna be your best bet. So good luck with

669
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: the TV. I am in the I'm in the market

670
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: for a TV myself, and I'll be quite honest, I

671
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna go with the High Sense U eight

672
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: K because it's getting great review use High Sense. I

673
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: know it's a brand that not many people have heard of,

674
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 2: but they are definitely making some progress here in the US.

675
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: So thanks for the call, Jeff over there in Jackson, Mississippi.

676
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 2: Spotify this week added two hundred thousand audiobooks for premium users,

677
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: So if you are a Spotify subscriber in the US,

678
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: you can now listen to audiobooks for free. You get

679
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 2: fifteen hours of listening per month included, and they say

680
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 2: they have seventy percent of the best selling titles. That

681
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you get to listen to seventy percent of

682
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: the book. It means that if you're looking at the

683
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: most popular titles available as audiobooks, they say they have

684
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: seventy percent of those represented. And they also have a

685
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: whole bunch of genres gen Z and millennials lead and

686
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: audiobook listening. They say people like to listen to audiobooks

687
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 2: for relaxation, comfort, the cognitive benefits. And now Spotify has music,

688
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: podcasts and audiobooks all in one place. So if you

689
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: are a premium subscriber that is a perk, you should

690
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: probably take advantage of listen to your fifteen hours of

691
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: books each month. All right, we'll have more of your

711
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: Patty did just that.

712
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: Patty says, what are your thoughts on the three dollars

713
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: version of total AV for the iPad? Patty, My thought

714
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: is that you do not need it. I know, the

715
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 2: way that the iPhone and iOS and iPad is set up,

716
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 2: there is no need for antivirus.

717
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way.

718
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: The antivirus program itself cannot even scan the entire system

719
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 2: because it's what's called sandboxed, and so that means that

720
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 2: this total AV can't really do anything.

721
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: Let's see, what do they promised to do.

722
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 2: I get this total av they advertise so heavily, I

723
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,959
Speaker 2: must get fifteen questions about it a week. Let's see

724
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: smart scan data, breach, check photos and videos, clean up,

725
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 2: duplicate contact finder, webshield, QR code, Private can action, VPN.

726
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: All those are premium features. I don't think you need

727
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 2: any of this stuff. Honestly. The biggest thing you can

728
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: do to protect yourself on any device is to watch

729
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 2: the places where you log in. Make sure you're not

730
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 2: logging into a website that's trying to trick you, and

731
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: watch out for those texts that come in that try

732
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: to make you click a link and hand over your

733
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: personal information. But if you think this is anti virus

734
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: for the iPad, it's just not, so you can go

735
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 2: ahead and skip it. Good question, though, Let's go to

736
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 2: Let's go to Joan in San Diego.

737
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: Joan, you're on with Rich.

738
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 7: Hi, thank you. I have this printer that I bought

739
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 7: a few years ago. It's an epsom Et twenty and

740
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 7: I absolutely love it. But something, an airring, fell in

741
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 7: the back and stammed it and I pulled that out

742
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 7: and what happened is now the paper when you go

743
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 7: to print something. It just scrunches up in bunches and

744
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 7: it won't come out. So I'll tech support and they

745
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 7: immediately realized that I was not under warranty. We tried

746
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 7: to troubleshoot it, but it didn't work first, and so

747
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 7: I asked him. I said, I have a cabinet full

748
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 7: of the five twenty two inc. Because I sort of

749
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 7: got it on auto order on Amazon.

750
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got like a whole bunch.

751
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I thought I loved the printer. No big deal.

752
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 7: And he looked one and back and looked at printers

753
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 7: and he said, well, and I don't believe this because

754
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 7: I've found otherwise on Google, but I want to I

755
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 7: want to verify it. He said, the five twenty two inc.

756
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 7: That you have will not work in any other EPSOM printers.

757
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: Well, that's not true, okay.

758
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 7: I just wonder what my options are. Should I try

759
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 7: to fix this or should I just try to find

760
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 7: another one that'll take that ink the new one?

761
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: How long have you had this printer?

762
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 7: I think it's three years okay, probably just outside the warranty.

763
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, usually everything breaks just outside the warranty.

764
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 2: It works perfectly while it's in warranty. So I'm looking

765
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: on Amazon for this five twenty two inc. And it

766
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 2: says it works with the twenty seven to twenty, the

767
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 2: twenty eight hundred, the twenty eight oh three, the twenty

768
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 2: eight to forty, the forty seven hundred, the forty eight hundred,

769
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: the forty eight ten. So I think that you can

770
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 2: find another printer. What they may have been referencing is

771
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 2: that perhaps this this you know, there's not a current

772
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 2: printer that uses this ink. You know, maybe the newer

773
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 2: models use the five twenty three or something like that,

774
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 2: but there are definitely models that use this, including the

775
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 2: same printer that you have. I mean, you can still

776
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: just buy a new printer if you want. This one's

777
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,479
Speaker 2: been discontinued, but of course people are going to still

778
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: sell it for a little bit. But what I would

779
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: do is I would go I just did a quick

780
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 2: search on THEPPS on the Amazon website, but I would

781
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: go on the EPs and website for the five twenty

782
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: two listing, and I'm sure and I can try to

783
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 2: find this quickly here.

784
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 8: But another one.

785
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 7: I found other ones too, and I just he's double checked,

786
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 7: and I don't know what he must have just been

787
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 7: having an off day or something.

788
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: Well, now here's the other question I have.

789
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 2: So I'm looking at the Yeah, so now I'm looking

790
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 2: at the website, and it does have all these printers

791
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: that are listed the twenty four hundred. I mean there's

792
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: there's at least one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

793
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: nine ten printers.

794
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: So what I would do is just go through each.

795
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: One of those printers on this page on the EPSOM

796
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: website and just search and see how much they cost,

797
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: and go with one that has the features that you want.

798
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 2: Some have a scanner, some have the automatic document feed

799
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: or whatever you need. But yes, you can use this ink.

800
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 2: Now on the flip side, you know, depending on how

801
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 2: much ink you have, you may just want to say,

802
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: you know what, let's just call this a total loss

803
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 2: and let's just go to cost Go and buy a

804
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: new printer and just you know, start over.

805
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 9: Yeah.

806
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, Costco had when I really liked on sale. It

807
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 7: doesn't take my ink.

808
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, here's the thing. I mean, these

809
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 2: ink is not cheap. And I'm on this plan with

810
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 2: HP where they send the ink. It's like five six

811
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: I think it was paying like thirteen bucks a month.

812
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 2: But it's like I went to I said, you know what,

813
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm sick of pain all this. Let me just buy

814
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 2: the ink out right, And they wanted like two hundred

815
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 2: dollars for the ink cartridges. And then, by the way,

816
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: the ones in my printer would stop working, like it

817
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't use the ones that I already had, like I

818
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: had just send those back in. So I think you're

819
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 2: doing better than I am because I'm stuck with what

820
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 2: I have. You're sort of stuck with what you have.

821
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: But the good news is, Joan, this ink will work

822
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: in a different printer. I think that you just go

823
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: on the website see which printers that it works with.

824
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: Since you already have the ink, you're already halfway there.

825
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 2: And this ink lasts for a long time. So I

826
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 2: would just go ahead and find a new printer that

827
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: it works with and go that route. Thanks for the question,

828
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Let's go to Lewis in Riverside with an

829
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 2: update about a call from Was this last week?

830
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: Lewis?

831
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 9: Yes, it was last week. Hi had a kid is

832
00:42:54,360 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 9: a short story. His mom died unexpectedly, had an iPhone

833
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 9: turned out it's an iPhone can, had it switched over,

834
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 9: It had a lock on it.

835
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: Yes, and we were worried.

836
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 9: Ask you about that. We got it to him. Kids understand tech.

837
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 9: It was like they speak that language. In less than

838
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 9: a minute, he was punching the numbers so fast. Had

839
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 9: it turned on. He's back online and it worked out great.

840
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: So we figured out the code to open the phone.

841
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, he had the code. I didn't even try it

842
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 9: because I had phones before. Where after you try so

843
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 9: many times.

844
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll lock you out.

845
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, So I didn't even try and he went

846
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 9: in there. It was like his third try in less

847
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 9: than a minute and turned on.

848
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: Now what did I say last week?

849
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 9: You had said that maybe they had If we couldn't

850
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 9: get it, maybe we could go with them to like documentation.

851
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 9: Hayes mom died. This was the phone, and it would

852
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 9: have been a you know, I imagine we could have maybe

853
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 9: we could have done something. But we're lucky we didn't.

854
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: You're lucky that he figured out the code and three tries,

855
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: so very good.

856
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 9: I was concerned. I guess he was close with his mom,

857
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 9: so he knew the information and got it.

858
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 10: Well.

859
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: I love that he figured it out.

860
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 2: I love that you can use his phone less waste

861
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 2: in the in the you know, recycling bent of phones,

862
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 2: and uh, I would.

863
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 9: Just and and the best thing, any information that was

864
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 9: on there didn't get lost.

865
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's well, back it up.

866
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: And uh at some point I would probably recommend backing

867
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: up the information that's on there and then maybe starting

868
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 2: over with his own account, if that's what you're gonna do.

869
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: But h Lewis, thanks for the update, appreciate it.

870
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 9: Hey, thank you Rich, thanks.

871
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: For listening there in Riverside. And UH, I do recall

872
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: that I did give the advice to for the child

873
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 2: to think about the number if he if he could

874
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 2: figure out that pin code. But in the future, I

875
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,919
Speaker 2: will say the lesson learned from this is to set

876
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 2: up what's called a legacy contact. So on iOS, on Facebook,

877
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: and on Google, you can set up what's called a

878
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 2: legacy contact. This is someone that can manage your online

879
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: accounts after you die. Not something you want to think about, right,

880
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: but it's something that is important because yeah, there are

881
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 2: systems for this. You can write to Apple, you can

882
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: write to Google, you can show a death certificate. But realistically,

883
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 2: a do you really want to be doing that for

884
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 2: yourself or a loved one? I guess you wouldn't be

885
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 2: doing it for yourself because you're not there. But you

886
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So, I mean there are systems,

887
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 2: but there's also ways of making these systems easier. So

888
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 2: for instance, my wife and I have a binder with

889
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: all of the important information, all of the accounts, everything

890
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 2: we need to know for each other. And again it's

891
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 2: not something you want to think about. I mean, who

892
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: wants to make a binder this says open this up

893
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 2: in case I'm my death. Nobody does. But I will

894
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 2: tell you your loved ones will be much happier for

895
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: it because they will have, if you're okay with it,

896
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: the passwords to the two important accounts, the accounts to

897
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: look for all that good stuff. So Facebook, Google and

898
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: Apple for sure, look up legacy contact. Set someone as

899
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: your legacy contact that if you stop accessing your account

900
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: for a while, they will email them and say, hey,

901
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: this account hasn't been used in a while and you

902
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 2: have the ability to now take it over and get

903
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 2: the data from there. So thanks for the call, Lewis,

904
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 2: appreciate it all right. If you have a question for me,

905
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 2: give me a call. It's triple eight rich one O one.

906
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,440

Speaker 2: Zoomo stream box. If you're clinging onto your cable box,

909
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 2: this might be a good option for you. Amazon starting

910
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: Cyber Monday deals a little bit earlier.

911
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that. And plus we're gonna talk.

912
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 2: To Brian Heter of tech Crunch about the Humane AI pin.

913
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 2: Listening to rich on Tech, Welcome back to rich on Tech.

914
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology. Before

915
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 2: the break, we were talking about legacy contacts and how

916
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 2: to set it. You can indeed set one for Facebook, Apple,

917
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 2: and Google calls it Inactive Account Manager. It's all linked

918
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 2: up on the website richon Tech dot tv. You can

919
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: check the show notes for this week's show and everything

920
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 2: I mentioned is in there. Amazon is starting Black Friday

921
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: and Cyber Monday deals a little bit earlier this year.

922
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 2: Black Friday deals will start on November seventeenth. Cyber Monday

923
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 2: deals will happen starting Saturday, November twenty fifth. Amazon, of course,

924
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: is promising deals on popular brands Sony Disney, Peloton, Lego,

925
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: all the Amazon devices like Echo, ring fireTV. They'll be

926
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: up to fifty percent off of course they kind of

927
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: discount the older devices more or so than the newer devices,

928
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 2: but again, be on the lookout for that.

929
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: And this is kind of cool.

930
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not a huge sports guy, but I

931
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: do think that part of that problem is that sports

932
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 2: is just all over the place when it comes to

933
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 2: where you can find the games, and like literally every

934
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: game is on a different platform or a different channel

935
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 2: or different streaming service, and it's kind of annoying. And

936
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: so this, I think is kind of cool. So the

937
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime Video, which they've been doing Thursday night football games,

938
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 2: which I love because anyone with a Prime account can

939
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 2: access that game and watch it and stream it from

940
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 2: any device. And now they're going to apply that same

941
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 2: logic on Black Friday. You can stream the Jets Dolphins

942
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 2: game on Prime Video. But here's the difference. You don't

943
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 2: need an Amazon Prime account to watch it, so all.

944
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: You need is an Amazon account.

945
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: So they're opening up this Prime game to anyone with

946
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 2: an Amazon account. So that's kind of cool. Now, of course,

947
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: they are going to have shopping during the game. And

948
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: I was tuned into the Thursday night football game on

949
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime and yeah, in the commercials, they're like literally saying, hey,

950
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: you can buy this, like, scan this QR code on

951
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 2: the screen and it brings you right to Amazon to

952
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 2: buy it. So that's kind of interesting. But I just

953
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 2: thought that was cool. Like it's so like streaming has

954
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,479
Speaker 2: made things so easy but also so complicated because there

955
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 2: are a thousand different services and everything is on different services.

956
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: Even if you follow one team, they can be playing

957
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: on you know, five six different services throughout the course

958
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: of a season.

959
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: Let's go to UH.

960
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jerry in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.

961
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: Jerry, you're on with Rich?

962
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: Hi?

963
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 11: Rich, how you doing?

964
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: I'm doing great?

965
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 11: How are you well? I'd be happier if it can

966
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 11: help me out. Rich. You ever hear of Olympia. It's

967
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 11: a Filipino egg roll.

968
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: I have not.

969
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 11: Well, if you're ever going to chance to try when

970
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 11: you want to what I've done, I've written a spreadsheet

971
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 11: with all the ingredients on it, okay, in in Google sheets,

972
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 11: with one sell UH for the user to adjust according

973
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 11: to their to the recipe. If you have, i say,

974
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 11: three pounds of meat, it'll put it in there, plugget

975
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 11: and it'll just all your other vegetables and stuff like that.

976
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 2: Oh sure, sure, you put like the proportions, and you

977
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 2: programmed it in credit, and.

978
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 11: I want to have a new machine so I can

979
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 11: give the link to other people. And I've locked them

980
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 11: spreadsheetings and that my problem is I want to go

981
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 11: back into the sprindtsheet as a different user and see

982
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 11: if my if my parameters are working as far as

983
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 11: unlocking the lock of that. Some people can't change the

984
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 11: other stuff I have on there.

985
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 2: You want to make sure before you share this that

986
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 2: actually works for a random person.

987
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 11: Right, And I tried opening up I sent I sent

988
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 11: the link to a different uh email that I have.

989
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 11: It's not associated with it, and it's not working. I

990
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 11: can open it up, but if I change it on

991
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 11: the secondary email, I can see it change on the

992
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 11: primary and I want to be able to well, what

993
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 11: I want to say is that it's just a mirror

994
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 11: of it. I want to make sure that.

995
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: I can type things in but not change the original.

996
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 11: Right now, how I do that?

997
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: Okay?

998
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 2: So what you want to do is there's two parts

999
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: to your question. First off, you want to make this

1000
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 2: document so that you can share it around and not

1001
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 2: have someone change it, but they can use it. So

1002
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 2: that's the number one part. And then the second part

1003
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 2: is that you want to be able to try this out.

1004
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 2: So I think for the first part it depends how

1005
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: you share this. So in Google there is a in

1006
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 2: the upper right hand corner a share icon, and it

1007
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: gives you a couple of options on how to share.

1008
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 2: So there is an option that says anyone with a

1009
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 2: link can view, and then there is anyone with a

1010
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 2: link and comment, and anyone with the link can edit.

1011
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 2: So you you probably want to make people a viewer,

1012
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 2: and when they view that link, you want to make

1013
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: sure that they can change those numbers inside that link.

1014
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: And that's the way you format. You format that the

1015
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 2: cell inside that spreadsheet. So the second part of the

1016
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: equation here is testing this out. So as you noticed,

1017
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 2: you emailed it to yourself. So what I would do

1018
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 2: is I would just copy the link once you set

1019
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 2: the permissions, and once you copy the link, I would

1020
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 2: use what's called a private browsing window or an incognito window.

1021
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 2: So on your web browser, if you go to file,

1022
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 2: it should say you know. If you're using Safari, they

1023
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 2: call it a private window. If you're using Chrome, they

1024
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 2: call it an incognito window. So open up an incognito window.

1025
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 2: And then paste that URL in there, and you should

1026
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: be able to see what's happening on that URL. Like,

1027
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: if you can't access it and you can't change the

1028
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 2: data the way you're saying, then you have to go

1029
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 2: back and reformat your your document. Now, if you don't

1030
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 2: want people to be able to save this stuff, you

1031
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 2: need to make sure that they are not an editor

1032
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 2: and they are just a viewer. But you need to

1033
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 2: make sure that when you make them a viewer, they

1034
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 2: can still change you know, the data inside those inside

1035
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 2: those parameters. So with that said, you would have to

1036
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 2: figure that. Off the top of my head. I'm not

1037
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 2: sure if you can make a spreadsheet that people can

1038
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: pop in their own data. You may have to make

1039
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 2: it a template and that way people can copy it

1040
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: to their Google Docs account and then make the changes

1041
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: that they want to do.

1042
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: That would probably be the best.

1043
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 2: Way of handling this. So again, maybe a template or

1044
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: they have to just save it. You might just you

1045
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 2: just might make it so that they can see this

1046
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 2: document and then save it to their drive and then

1047
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 2: they can make the appropriate changes. I think that it's

1048
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 2: going to be the best way because if you think

1049
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 2: about it, you can't have fifteen people on there making

1050
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 2: changes at the same time, adjusting their ingredients and expecting

1051
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 2: this to work out because you can only have one

1052
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: person at a time that's changing it. So I would

1053
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 2: make them just a viewer only once they copy it

1054
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 2: to their account, which there's a little icon for that

1055
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: up near the top, then they can then they can make.

1056
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: The appropriate changes.

1057
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 2: Let me know, Jerry, go on the website, rich On

1058
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 2: Tech dot TV email me with the update. All right,

1059
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 2: coming up Zumo stream box and oh we're going to

1060
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 2: talk to Brian Heater, hardware editor at tech Crunch. We're

1061
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 2: going to talk about the Humane AI pin. Welcome back

1062
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 2: to rich On Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you,

1063
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: talking technology at Triple eight Rich one oh one. Brian

1064
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 2: Heater is hardware editor at tech Crunch. He got to

1065
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: go hands on with the gadget that the entire tech

1066
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 2: community is talking about. It's the Humane AI pin. Brian,

1067
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 2: thanks so much for joining me today.

1068
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for having me.

1069
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 2: So can you explain you got to go hands on

1070
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 2: with this device. I'm sure it was a small group

1071
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: of people that got to do this up in San Francisco.

1072
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 2: Can you explain what the Humane AI pin is sure.

1073
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, let me let me caveat by saying, you know,

1074
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 12: I got to wear it and I got to see

1075
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 12: it in action, but I didn't really get to, you know,

1076
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 12: use it in a super meaningful way.

1077
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: But it's a brand new startup.

1078
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 12: They've actually been around since twenty eighteen, but they were

1079
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 12: made public earlier this year.

1080
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 1: It's run by.

1081
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 12: A couple of forber Apple executives and the pitch is

1082
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 12: effectively life beyond the smartphone. It's a little pin that

1083
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 12: sits on your lapel that hangs on there magnetically, and

1084
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 12: it uses AI.

1085
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,240
Speaker 1: To do a number of different actions.

1086
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 12: You interact with it, primarily through voice, but there's also touch.

1087
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: And the far and away.

1088
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 12: The most visually interesting aspect of it is it actually

1089
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 12: has a projector, a laser projector in it that will

1090
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 12: project emails and even photos if you're getting a call

1091
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 12: during those times where you don't actually want to speak

1092
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 12: to the thing.

1093
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 2: And so, would you actually replace your smartphone with this

1094
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 2: or do you think most people would have it in

1095
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 2: addition to their smartphone.

1096
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't think anybody's getting rid of their smartphone

1097
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 12: at any point in the near future. But the device

1098
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 12: itself has a twenty four dollar a month subscription fee

1099
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 12: that includes a phone number. It's it's LTE, It's on

1100
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 12: the T Mobile network, and the idea is that you

1101
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 12: can at least leave the smartphone at home.

1102
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so theoretically it does operate or I guess it

1103
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 2: does operate independently. Whether people would you know, end up

1104
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 2: doing that as another question. It's kind of like the

1105
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 2: Apple Watch. You could, you know, get the cellular and

1106
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 2: use that on a run or something without it without

1107
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: the phone being near by. So this is screenless, it's

1108
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 2: voice activated, and it's got a lot of AI built

1109
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 2: in and chat GBT. Open ai is one of the

1110
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: the backers of this startup as well.

1111
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, Sam.

1112
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 12: Altman, the founder of open ai is I believe he's

1113
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 12: the largest shareholder at this point. The actual relationship between

1114
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 12: the two companies is an entirely clear. Asked them a

1115
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 12: few questions about that during our conversation yesterday. It seems

1116
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 12: like they largely built it independently. He believed in the idea.

1117
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 12: A lot of companies right now are trying to figure

1118
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 12: out how to actually bring a lot of these large

1119
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 12: language models generated AI systems like chatpt into the world.

1120
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: I know that it is running.

1121
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 12: It's using a lot of different AI models right now.

1122
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 12: I know that chat GPT is among them, and that

1123
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 12: at some point, I guess by the time that it

1124
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 12: actually launches early next year, it will likely be running

1125
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 12: some form of GPT for.

1126
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 2: So some of the features of this device. You can

1127
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 2: use it for messaging. You can make phone calls. I'm

1128
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 2: guessing there's a catch up function for your inbox, so

1129
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 2: it will kind of summarize what's in your inbox, let

1130
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 2: you know the most pertinent information. You can listen to

1131
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 2: music through it, foreign language interpreter, and it can also

1132
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 2: identify food. Which of those items were you able to

1133
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 2: try and see in person?

1134
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 12: I was able to see pretty much all of them,

1135
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 12: but you know, as I said at the top, it

1136
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 12: wasn't able to actually to do them myself.

1137
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: I watched a few of the employees use them in

1138
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: front of.

1139
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 2: Me, and was it impressive? I mean, did you you

1140
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 2: know you've covered this stuff for a while. Did you

1141
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: get the sense that this was the next iPad or

1142
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 2: the next you know, zoom?

1143
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: Sure?

1144
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, Google Glass is the comparison that I hear you

1145
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 12: and I think I think it's a fair one because

1146
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 12: they're Google was trying to do something really similar.

1147
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 6: You know.

1148
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 12: The primary difference one the technology just wasn't there at

1149
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 12: the time. A lot of these AI models have come

1150
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 12: really long way since then. And the other one is

1151
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 12: that it was a head mount display. And this is

1152
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 12: there are a few companies kind of operatings in this space,

1153
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 12: but this is the first one that I've seen with

1154
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 12: what appears to be a viable product that just sits

1155
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 12: on the lapel. It's going to be there's going to

1156
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 12: be a big learning curve. I will say that up

1157
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 12: top six hundred ninety nine dollars is a lot in

1158
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 12: smartphone land, but it is a lot when talking about,

1159
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 12: you know, an unproven first generation device, and then you

1160
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 12: add that the mandatory twenty four dollars a month on

1161
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 12: top of that, if you don't have the mobile subscription,

1162
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 12: then the thing is is basically bricked.

1163
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money here.

1164
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 6: You know.

1165
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 12: There are obviously a lot of really smart people here there.

1166
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 12: There there's Vision as well. I think a lot of

1167
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 12: people like the message around the company. They're effectively positioning

1168
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 12: themselves as being kind of, I guess in direct competition

1169
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 12: with Apple's Vision pro as far as the way that

1170
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 12: we you will interact with computers going forward. You know,

1171
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 12: Apple is taking the display and putting on your head

1172
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 12: and they're removing display altogether.

1173
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 2: What was the projected kind of image? Like, I mean,

1174
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,959
Speaker 2: did it look cool or was it tough to read?

1175
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 2: Or was it you know, where do you project it

1176
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 2: onto like a table in front of you or on

1177
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 2: your hand?

1178
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, So it's if you've ever you've probably seen one

1179
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 12: of these kinds of laser projectors in the world. There's

1180
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 12: there's advertisers that will do them. You know, you'll see

1181
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 12: it like projected on a sidewalk in front of you.

1182
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 12: It's it's very sharp. It functionality, it's it's somewhat limited.

1183
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 12: Like I said, you can look you can preview the

1184
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 12: pictures that you take with the device, but that's not

1185
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 12: you don't really want to actually use that to look

1186
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 12: at the pictures. They're not super clear. Texta is pretty clear.

1187
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 12: The way it works is you you tap the device,

1188
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 12: you tap the touch screen.

1189
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Then it uses.

1190
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 12: I believe it used to see motion tracking and object

1191
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 12: identification to tell they you've got your hands out in

1192
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 12: front of you, and then the projector turns on and

1193
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 12: projects onto your hands, and then while reading it that way,

1194
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 12: you can also use your hand to interact with it

1195
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 12: in a sense. You know, for example, you could pinch

1196
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 12: two fingers together to scroll, or you know, move your

1197
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 12: hands at an angle. There's a variety of different ways

1198
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 12: to interact with it once it's actually on the palm.

1199
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to figure out why someone would want

1200
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: this and not just use their smartphone with like an

1201
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 2: ear piece. And I love cool things, and I love

1202
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 2: new things, and I love new ways of thinking about things.

1203
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 2: But I'm just really struggling here to understand how this

1204
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 2: is better than the solutions we have.

1205
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: And I haven't gone hands on, so maybe that's part

1206
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: of it.

1207
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 12: Sure, I mean, I'm certainly not here to sell it

1208
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 12: to you, and I you know, I absolutely approach these

1209
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 12: things with skepticism. I will almost certainly be getting one

1210
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 12: of these things at some point to try out. I

1211
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 12: think most people are skeptical, and I think it's right.

1212
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 12: I don't know that the company has entirely figured out

1213
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 12: what the killer app.

1214
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Is right now.

1215
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 12: There aren't a lot of hardware startps in the world,

1216
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 12: but the way you can think of all these devices

1217
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 12: are kind of really like whide beta testing with that

1218
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 12: first generation of people. It's a bit expensive to get there,

1219
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 12: but there are a lot of people who just get

1220
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 12: excited about tech and will be the first ones to

1221
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 12: try it.

1222
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: There were a lot of.

1223
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 12: Sign ups, you know, they had a waiting list that

1224
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 12: I think actually closed. During the event yesterday they said

1225
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 12: they had a one hundred and ten thousand sign ups. Now,

1226
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 12: again that doesn't actually equate to devices sold. You know,

1227
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 12: there's no money down, there's no commitment there, but there's

1228
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 12: certainly interest.

1229
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 2: Are there any potential privacy concerns with this new device?

1230
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean there are always privacy concerns when you're

1231
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 12: bringing a new form factor out with a camera on

1232
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 12: it and you're walking around with it at all times.

1233
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: A couple of things I'll say and I don't.

1234
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 12: I'm certainly not an expert on the privacy or security

1235
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 12: at the moment.

1236
01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: This is just based on the conversations that I've had

1237
01:02:59,680 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 1: so far.

1238
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 12: But one of the key parts is that you have

1239
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 12: to actively engage with it, so it's not listening for

1240
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 12: a wake word the way you know, like Siri or

1241
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 12: Alexa or Google assystem is, so it's not constantly monitoring

1242
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 12: and it's certainly not constantly taking video, and when it

1243
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 12: does take video, it's got a privacy light on it,

1244
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 12: so you know, it's pretty clear. The light sortainly goes

1245
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 12: back and forth like a syloon on the top, So

1246
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 12: I people aren't going to know necessarily what's going on

1247
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 12: or what they're looking at. That at least they'll be

1248
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 12: able to tell like something is going on with that device.

1249
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 2: Brian Heater, hardware editor at tech Crunch, thanks so much

1259
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 2: on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro

1260
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 2: here hanging out with you talking technology. Before the interview,

1261
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 2: we had Jerry in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, asking about Google Sheets.

1262
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 2: I learned a food that I had not heard of, Lumpia,

1263
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 2: a Filipino version of spring rolls. The rappers are made

1264
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 2: from flour, cornstarch, and water than in delicate but strong

1265
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 2: enough to hold fillings. They can be served fresh or fried.

1266
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 2: Kind of looks like a like a you know, like

1267
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 2: a what do you call a thing? An egg roll?

1268
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 2: Like a spring roll? So now I'm hungry. Thanks, But Jerry,

1269
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 2: I think I found a more complete answer. So I

1270
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 2: mentioned that you should save and share this as a template.

1271
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: But the little trick, according to this website, conquer the

1272
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 2: digit empire dot com. When you create that link to

1273
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 2: share it okay, You then update the link at the

1274
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 2: end with slash copy at the end, and then you

1275
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 2: can share that updated link. And when they first take

1276
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 2: that link, it will say do you want to copy

1277
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 2: this template to your Google Drive? And that makes the

1278
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 2: process a little easier, and it also makes it so

1279
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 2: that they can change the numbers like you did in

1280
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 2: your template without changing the original.

1281
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: And I tested this.

1282
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 2: I created like a very simple template, very simple Google spreadsheet.

1283
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 2: I put in a couple numbers with the you know

1284
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 2: we're at the end. It added them all up and

1285
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 2: then I was able to share this template and then

1286
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 2: I logged in you know with the incognito window like

1287
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 2: I mentioned, and made a copy and it completely worked.

1288
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 2: So I put the link on the website so you

1289
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 2: can find it in the show notes. But again, just

1290
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,959
Speaker 2: add that slash copy to the end of the link

1291
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 2: when you share it out on Google when you generate it,

1292
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 2: and that should work. Paul says, I have an iMac

1293
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 2: I bought in twenty twenty. When I'm using Safari, seems

1294
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 2: like it's infected with a virus called Searchalpha dot com,

1295
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 2: making it very difficult for me to search the web.

1296
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 2: What should I do, Paul, I think you have an

1297
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 2: extension on there that is bad. These are sometimes called

1298
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 2: search helpers, but realistically they're pretty much malware and sometimes

1299
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 2: you download them you don't realize and they.

1300
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: Take over your search.

1301
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 2: So open up Safari, go into the settings, click extensions,

1302
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 2: and if you see anything you don't need or don't recognize,

1303
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 2: delete it and just get rid of them. Same thing

1304
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 2: on Google Chrome you can go through and this is

1305
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 2: probably something you should do in general, is just check

1306
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,439
Speaker 2: the extensions that are installed in your computer, make sure

1307
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 2: you recognize them. If you don't recognize them, get rid

1308
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 2: of them. You can do that by clicking there's a

1309
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 2: little puzzle piece icon in your toolbar. If you hover

1310
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 2: over it, it'll say extensions. You can click that and

1311
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 2: it will show you all the extensions that are installed

1312
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 2: on your browser, and then you can click down below,

1313
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 2: or it says manage extensions to delete those and get

1314
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 2: rid of them. Alternatively, you can go into the menu

1315
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 2: on Chrome, which you can let's see. You could just

1316
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 2: go into the three dots in the upper right hand

1317
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 2: corner next to your profile icon, and then it says extensions,

1318
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 2: and then it says manage extensions. You tap that and

1319
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 2: it will give you a list of all the extensions

1320
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 2: on your computer. I've got two four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen,

1321
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 2: eighteen twenty extensions. Not all of them are turned on,

1322
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 2: so you can either turn one off or you can

1323
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 2: just click or remove if you don't need it anymore.

1324
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 2: So if you see anything on there that says search helper,

1325
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 2: search Functions, search Buddy, you probably don't need it.

1326
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Get rid of it.

1327
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 2: That is interfering with your searches, and it's also collecting

1328
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 2: data in the background that you don't need it to

1329
01:07:55,560 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 2: be doing. Let's go to Sarah in Ventura. Sarah you're

1330
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 2: on with rich Hi.

1331
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: Hi Hi.

1332
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 8: I was taking a class. In the morning it's a

1333
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 8: Google Suite and in the afternoon it's Microsoft Office Suite.

1334
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 8: It's just one day. It's in class with the teacher

1335
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 8: where assigned laptops. And I was wondering if maybe the

1336
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 8: teacher or this is at a job center, okay, And

1337
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 8: I was wondering if maybe someone is doing something because

1338
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 8: on the in the daytime, I mean in the morning part,

1339
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 8: I was on one network and then I turned it off,

1340
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,600
Speaker 8: and when I came back, it was on another network.

1341
01:08:55,200 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 8: And then I noticed that whenever I started the class August,

1342
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 8: whenever the teacher says pay attention to what I'm saying,

1343
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 8: the computer, the laptop I'm using, stops. It won't let

1344
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 8: me click anything, move anything, do anything, and then other

1345
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 8: things happen like so.

1346
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 2: It sounds like it sounds like they have control over

1347
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 2: the computer. Are these are these handed out by them?

1348
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 11: It's fair?

1349
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so they have they have software on this

1350
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,839
Speaker 2: that allows them to control when you can do things

1351
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 2: and also to allow them to do whatever they want

1352
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 2: on this computer, Walt, It's in front of you. So

1353
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty standard software that allows them to remain

1354
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 2: in control of the situation.

1355
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 8: And when she needs to leave early, the battery suddenly

1356
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 8: goes down to where the battery is low, and then

1357
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 8: I would need to recharge it. So can I stop

1358
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 8: her from doing that?

1359
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: No?

1360
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 2: Not if it's their computer, it's are you Are you

1361
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 2: bringing this computer home?

1362
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 9: No?

1363
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:04,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not.

1364
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:11,640
Speaker 8: But I noticed when she feels bored she people just

1365
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 8: suddenly when she's looking up looking for something to do,

1366
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 8: nothing's happening. Then someone has a problem, and I think

1367
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 8: that she likes to feel useful, So I noticed it

1368
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 8: just seems like she's interfering with something that I need

1369
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:34,839
Speaker 8: to learn when she just feels like, you know, talking

1370
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 8: to someone who needs to have help it.

1371
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 2: Sarah, it sounds like it sounds like this teacher is

1372
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 2: not working out for you.

1373
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: Do you like this teacher?

1374
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,759
Speaker 8: You know, she was very nice except when she started

1375
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 8: to teach Excel. I started when she was teaching Excel,

1376
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 8: and this is near the end of one cycle. They

1377
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 8: teach in cycles, and now that she's in Excel again,

1378
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 8: she all thistay's happened. But in between she's so sweet

1379
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 8: and nice, but suddenly she's not not quite that way. Yeah,

1380
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 8: well the battery.

1381
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 2: Too, Yeah, that's the battery. The battery is interesting. I'm

1382
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 2: not sure about the battery. I don't think she has

1383
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 2: a switch, a magic switch on her computer to say, okay, now,

1384
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 2: drain everyone's battery on these computers. But when it comes

1385
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 2: to computers that are handed out, and this this is

1386
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,839
Speaker 2: for anyone that has a company issued computer, a school

1387
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 2: issued computer, uh, there is a lot of software out

1388
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 2: there that keeps tabs on these computers. They may they

1389
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,600
Speaker 2: may take a screenshot at random intervals. They may be

1390
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 2: able to remotely access into your computer without you even

1391
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 2: knowing your Your company may have software that logs what

1392
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 2: you do. So my advice, if you are using a

1393
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 2: computer that is not completely yours, you treat it that way,

1394
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 2: and they have the ability to monitor what you're doing

1395
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 2: on there, to see anything that you do, anything that's

1396
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 2: on your screen. Schools do it, companies do it. They

1397
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 2: all do it. And it's mostly there because they are

1398
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 2: the administrator of that computer. So it sounds like, Sarah,

1399
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 2: what you're talking about is, I think it sounds halfway

1400
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 2: between this teacher has this ability and also you're not

1401
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 2: a fan of this teacher and what she's doing. And

1402
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 2: so for the teacher part, I would just avoid classes

1403
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 2: with this teacher in the future. Finish up what you're doing.

1404
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 2: But for the computer part, no, you're not able to

1405
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 2: turn that off easily. I mean, yes, you can maybe

1406
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 2: hack into it and figure that out, but this is

1407
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 2: a safety precaution. They are administrators on this computer, kind

1408
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 2: of like at work. When you can't install something on

1409
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 2: your computer at work, that's because you are not the administrator.

1410
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 2: If you want to be in charge of your computer,

1411
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 2: you have to buy it yourself. And I would even

1412
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 2: say if you are installing programs are apps on your

1413
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 2: devices from your company, you need to be aware of

1414
01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 2: what you're installing because sometimes that can have implications as well.

1415
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 2: You may get a notice on your computer that when

1416
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 2: you log in with your corporate account on something like Microsoft,

1417
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 2: that says, hey, can we uh can you can your

1418
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 2: work remotely wipe this device? So just be real careful

1419
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 2: with that kind of stuff, because if you want your

1420
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:14,959
Speaker 2: own stuff, you got to have your own stuff.

1421
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: And keep it that way.

1422
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 2: Eight a eight rich one on one eight eight eight

1423
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 2: seven four to two four one zero one. Coming up,

1424
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 2: I'll tell you about the Zoomo stream box. You're listening

1425
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 2: to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1426
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 2: Rich DeMuro here talking technology with you at Triple eight

1427
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 2: rich one on one. That's eight eight eight seven four

1428
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 2: to two four one zero one. Coming up this hour

1429
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 2: of the show. Friend of the show, Jefferson Graham of

1430
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 2: Photo Walks TV is going to talk about how he

1431
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 2: captured an epic ten day time laps. He did it

1432
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 2: on both the iPhone and the Samsung, and he's got

1433
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 2: some information about which one did it better, plus tips

1434
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 2: on how to take similar videos. I did a time

1435
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 2: lapse in my hotel room. I was in New York

1436
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 2: City and I had this cool view of the city,

1437
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 2: and so I just set up my phone on the

1438
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 2: window and did a time lapse.

1439
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool.

1440
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 2: They're fun Triple eight rich one on one eighty eight

1441
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 2: seven four to two four one zero one. Howard says,

1442
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:20,759
Speaker 2: can you send me the links from today's show? He emails,

1443
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 2: particularly the gas of the guests, Jeremy, with the newsletter

1444
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 2: and the other sites you were talking about.

1445
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 1: You have an amazing show. Thank you well.

1446
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 2: It made it really easy if you want to find

1447
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 2: links to the show in real time. Let's say I

1448
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 2: mentioned something. I keep everything in the notes. So if

1449
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: you go to rich on tech dot tv slash wiki wiki,

1450
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 2: this will bring you to the awesome show notes and

1451
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 2: they go back almost to the first show. I didn't

1452
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 2: start doing this until like maybe show number ten, but

1453
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: we've done forty five shows and so you can see

1454
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 2: the notes for every single show. Some shows even have

1455
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 2: a transcript, so if you want to see if I

1456
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 2: mentioned something specific, you can search there. But all the

1457
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 2: notes and all the links are there. So rich on

1458
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 2: tech dot tv slash wiki, now that's the wiki, so

1459
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 2: that's like everything. But rich on tech dot tv the

1460
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 2: standard page eventually has the notes for that show, along

1461
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 2: with the audio of the show. Eva says, hey, Rich,

1462
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 2: enjoy everything you do. I have thousands of photos i'd

1463
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 2: like to scan into my laptop. What's the best scanner

1464
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 2: I can buy? I want good quality resolution in case

1465
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 2: I want to print a photo later, example a four

1466
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 2: x six eight by ten eleven fourteen. Thank you, Eva,

1467
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, if you're gonna print photos bigger than a

1468
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 2: four x six, most people are just scanning these things

1469
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:43,600
Speaker 2: and then putting them on their phone. But if you

1470
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 2: are going to print, you probably want to scan at

1471
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 2: a higher dpi, probably six hundred. Most scanners default to

1472
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 2: about three hundred, and some can even go as low

1473
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 2: as I believe, like seventy six. So you probably want

1474
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 2: to do a higher dpi if you're going to do

1475
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 2: those bigger pictures. I have a feeling, though, EVA, You're

1476
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:01,639
Speaker 2: probably not gonna end up printing out all those pictures.

1477
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 2: I always think I'm gonna print out pictures, and I

1478
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 2: don't now. If you want the best, and you've got

1479
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 2: thousands of photos, like you said, and you want to

1480
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 2: do this at home, probably the best is this EPSN

1481
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 2: Fast Photo FF six't eighty W high speed scanning system.

1482
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 1: But that's six hundred bucks, so you.

1483
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 2: Can get it and then sell it or you know,

1484
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 2: split the price of the family member if you have

1485
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,879
Speaker 2: a bunch of people that want to all scan their photos.

1486
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 2: This is like the Lamborghini of scanners. You feed in

1487
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,719
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of pictures at once, it will scan

1488
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 2: through them really fast. I think it even does the

1489
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 2: front and back at the same time. So if you

1490
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 2: wrote stuff on the back of the pictures, that will

1491
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 2: do it. But six hundred bucks, nobody really wants to

1492
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 2: spend that on a scanner. So Trusty Amazon has a

1493
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 2: couple of top picks for the scanners. Cannons are very popular.

1494
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 2: The cannon Cano scan lied l id E three hundred

1495
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 2: is fifty eight bucks. So, but that's a flatbed scanner,

1496
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 2: so you're gonna be you're gonna be putting pictures in there,

1497
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 2: one at a time, very slowly. And you also have

1498
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 2: they have a cheap O not a cheapo but a

1499
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 2: kind of like a third party brand I've never heard

1500
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 2: of that does do a feeder, but it looks like

1501
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 2: it's one picture at a time.

1502
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:16,679
Speaker 1: That's two hundred dollars.

1503
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 2: Then they've got the epsom Perfection V nineteen that's ninety bucks,

1504
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 2: and that has higher resolution as well. So I would

1505
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 2: probably go with some sort of scanner where you can

1506
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,719
Speaker 2: feed stuff in easily as opposed to a flatbed flatbed

1507
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,600
Speaker 2: if you have thousands of pictures, those are going to

1508
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,719
Speaker 2: take a while to get through.

1509
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: Zuomo's stream box. All right.

1510
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 2: So if you are clinging to the idea of cable,

1511
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 2: and I'm saying this with the idea of I personally

1512
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 2: prefer a completely cord cutting streaming service, So I like

1513
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 2: a fire TV or an Apple TV. But there are

1514
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 2: many people out there that still like traditional cable and

1515
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 2: they have a traditional cable box, but they still want

1516
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 2: to stream stuff. And so that means you have two

1517
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 2: different items going on with your TV. You've got your

1518
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 2: cable box on one input and you've got a streaming

1519
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 2: stick on another input, and you're switching between those things.

1520
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 2: When you want to watch Netflix, you got to go

1521
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 2: to the stick. When you want to watch Channel five,

1522
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 2: you got to go to your cable box. So the

1523
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 2: cable companies they have banded together to come up with

1524
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 2: this thing called Zumo. And I believe this was a

1525
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 2: startup and they purchased it or something like that, but

1526
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 2: Charter and Comcast are the two big companies that are

1527
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,719
Speaker 2: behind this. And it's a box. It's called the Zumo

1528
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 2: stream Box, and it combines cable TV with popular streaming apps.

1529
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,839
Speaker 2: So it doesn't have a Cox cable. It's all delivered

1530
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 2: over the internet. But what it essentially is is your

1531
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 2: cable service, like a streaming cable service, like if you

1532
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 2: have a YouTube TV, but it would be Spectrum's version

1533
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:54,679
Speaker 2: of that alongside these streaming apps. And there's three hundred

1534
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 2: streaming apps on this box. They're not all installed at once,

1535
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:00,640
Speaker 2: but they're all on the screen. You it, it kind of

1536
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 2: installs it in the background and you're good to go.

1537
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 2: So the big difference here is that this comes from

1538
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 2: your cable company. So you have to have a cable plan,

1539
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 2: you have to have cable Internet, and you get this box.

1540
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 2: The box is either five bucks a month as a

1541
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 2: service fee, which you would pay forever, or you can

1542
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 2: pay sixty dollars outright, but they're not going to help.

1543
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:21,719
Speaker 1: You if something goes wrong with the box.

1544
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 2: So by paying the five dollars a month, you get

1545
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 2: kind of the backing of the cable company, just like

1546
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 2: you would a cable box. Something goes wrong, you exchange it.

1547
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: It's nice.

1548
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I had a demo of this over at

1549
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:37,679
Speaker 2: the Spectrum store and in the limited time I had

1550
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 2: it seems like a nice option if you still like

1551
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 2: a traditional cable TV experience.

1552
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: So if you like all those.

1553
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 2: Channels that are always streaming or I should say always

1554
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 2: kind of just playing something, you turn on your TV,

1555
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 2: it goes to a channel. Now, the funny thing is

1556
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 2: it goes to Spectrum's own Spectrum one News, which happens

1557
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 2: to be Channel one on their systems. If you don't

1558
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 2: have Spectrum News in your area, it's going to default

1559
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 2: to the first channel that you have, which is probably

1560
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 2: channel two. I think that they should let you customize

1561
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 2: that to your favorite channel. So let's say you love MTV,

1562
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 2: you can have it go to that. Let's say you

1563
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 2: love channel five, you can have a default to that.

1564
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 2: That would be a nice thing for them to do.

1565
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 2: But again, these are cable companies. They're not always you know,

1566
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 2: they're not always thinking in I feel bad even saying it,

1567
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 2: but not every company is always, you know, thinking of

1568
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 2: their customer's best interest. Sometimes there's a little bit of

1569
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 2: a loaded, you know, a little bit bias towards their

1570
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 2: own interests. But otherwise I like the idea that this

1571
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 2: has one remote control for everything, and it does have

1572
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 2: a keypad, so if you want to once you're in

1573
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 2: the cable side of things, you can just type in

1574
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 2: the cable channel number, so if you know the channels

1575
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 2: that you like, you can go straight to them. That's

1576
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 2: something that most I would say, I don't think I've

1577
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 2: ever seen that on a streaming stick. It's got voice search,

1578
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 2: and in the voice search that I looked at, it's

1579
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 2: supposed to be really good it was okay. Maybe there

1580
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 2: are some issues, maybe it needs a software update, but

1581
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 2: it's like the ideas that you'd be able to use

1582
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 2: your voice to do almost everything. You can also add

1583
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 2: cloud DVR service for a monthly fee. And this is

1584
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 2: what I would consider a stop gap and in between technology.

1585
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 2: So while people are still on cable, while people are

1586
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 2: still on streaming, the cable companies, of course want a

1587
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:24,559
Speaker 2: piece of the action, and they want to offer you

1588
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 2: this box so that it kind of bridges both worlds,

1589
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 2: but they're still in the game versus you ditching your

1590
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 2: cable company, your traditional cable company and going with something

1591
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 2: like YouTube TV.

1592
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:34,799
Speaker 1: Now you can.

1593
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 2: Email me and tell me Rich I can do all

1594
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 2: of this stuff on my Fire TV stick, and Rich

1595
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 2: I can do all of this stuff on my Apple TV.

1596
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: Yes you can.

1597
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 2: You can cobble together all the apps you want and

1598
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: all of the cable services you want. There's Fubo, there's

1599
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 2: Sling TV, there is you know, there's so many of them.

1600
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 2: But this is a little bit different because it's much

1601
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 2: more combined, it's much more integrated. It feels like traditional

1602
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 2: cable just a little bit more. Some people might like that,

1603
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 2: some people may not like that. I'm kind of in

1604
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 2: the middle. I think for some people that still have

1605
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 2: a cable box and a streamer streaming stick, go for it.

1606
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: Why not.

1607
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 2: Life Hacker explains the difference between a modem and a router.

1608
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 2: I thought this was pretty interesting. The modem connects your

1609
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 2: home network to your internet service provider. It translates the

1610
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 2: data between your devices and the Internet service provider. A

1611
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 2: router creates a local network in your home and connects

1612
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 2: all your devices together wirelessly or through Ethernet. It routes

1613
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,839
Speaker 2: data between your devices and the modem. Modems just provide

1614
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 2: the Internet connection. The routers enable the wireless networking and

1615
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 2: connect multiple devices. Most of the time, your Internet service

1616
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 2: provider is giving you a combined modem slash router device.

1617
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,600
Speaker 2: And that's why it's a little confusing, because it's a

1618
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 2: modem that also sends out the Wi Fi signal that

1619
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 2: all of your devices latch onto. If you're getting something

1620
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 2: like an ear row that is a that is a

1621
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 2: router and that will take your modem signal and put

1622
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 2: it out to all of your devices, you can get

1623
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 2: an upgraded signal, so if you want, you can buy

1624
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 2: your own modem from your cable company or your Internet

1625
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 2: service provider. You know, I'm kind of torn on that.

1626
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's like one of these things where I

1627
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 2: get it. Some of these ISPs charge five bucks a

1628
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 2: month ten bucks a month to rent the router or

1629
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 2: the modem rather and it's it may be cheaper to

1630
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 2: buy it if you're going to stick with them for

1631
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 2: a long time. You can buy it out right and

1632
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 2: have it yourself, but you know, if something goes wrong,

1633
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 2: you are on the hook. And they're also not going

1634
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 2: to provide support for you. And finally, mostly for my

1635
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 2: California listeners, well California, Washington, Oregon, the app Quake Alert

1636
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 2: USA is shutting down. So as of November sixth, twenty

1637
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 2: twenty three, the free quake Alert USA app is decommissioned,

1638
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 2: which means you will no longer get earthquake early warning

1639
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 2: alerts through the This was one of the earliest apps

1640
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 2: that I covered with the Quake Alert system or the

1641
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 2: Shake alert system. It's been operating for eight years. If

1642
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 2: you have it on your phone, you can delete it

1643
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 2: and if you have an Android you can actually just

1644
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 2: use the built in earthquake alerts under settings Safety and Emergency,

1645
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 2: Earthquake alerts and you can turn that offer on. Google

1646
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 2: has built that into Android, or I guess Android has

1647
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 2: built it into Android. If you're on an iPhone, the

1648
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 2: app that you want is called My Shake, My Shake,

1649
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 2: and Noah has nothing to do with a protein shake.

1650
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: It is the shake.

1651
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 2: It works with the Shake Alert system, which is a

1652
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 2: whole bunch of sensors in California, Oregon, and Washington that

1653
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 2: detect earthquakes and send a alert to your phone anywhere

1654
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 2: between five and thirty seconds before you feel the shaking.

1655
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 2: So again, Quake Alert USA. If you have it on

1656
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 2: your phone, it no longer works. It's no longer going

1657
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 2: to send you alerts, so delete it and download My Shake.

1658
01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 2: You can do that on iPhone or Android. But if

1659
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 2: you have Android, you've got earthquake alerts built right into

1660
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 2: your operating system. Open up your settings, tap safety in

1661
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 2: emergency and you will find the earthquake alerts in there.

1662
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 2: And yes, the earthquake alert alerts work. I got one

1663
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:13,720
Speaker 2: for the last to earthquake we had. It was like

1664
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 2: maybe five or six seconds before the earthquake. All right,

1665
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 2: coming up, Jefferson Graham is going to talk to us

1666
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:26,799
Speaker 2: about his time lapse capture plus more tech news, tips, reviews.

1667
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich on Tech.

1668
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:32,800

Speaker 2: it wrong before the break eight eight eight seven four

1675
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 2: to two four one zero one. The website rich on Tech.

1676
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 2: If you want to email me, you can go to

1677
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 2: the contact link. There a lot of you commenting on

1678
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 2: my Instagram about the story I broke at the beginning

1679
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 2: of the show about how Chuck E.

1680
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 1: Cheese is doing away with animatronics.

1681
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 2: This was news to me last night going to their

1682
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 2: event and the Northridge location. I can't believe it. It's

1683
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 2: like it's just so wild that something I grew up

1684
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,360
Speaker 2: with is like no longer going to be a thing.

1685
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:32,760
Speaker 2: I'm glad my kids were able to experience it, But

1686
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 2: as I explain to my instagram at richon Tech, the

1687
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 2: last location in the US that you'll be able to

1688
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 2: experience animatronics at Chuck E. Cheese will be the Northridge,

1689
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 2: California location. So I have a feeling it's going to

1690
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,800
Speaker 2: make it to a lot of lists. When people hit

1691
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 2: up California for travel, they're going to say, gotta stop there,

1692
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 2: bring my kids, And most of the time the kids

1693
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 2: won't really care.

1694
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,639
Speaker 1: It'll be the parents that care. Let's see here.

1695
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 2: Well, I don't have the person's name, but they wrote

1696
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 2: in I travel frequently for work. Often I have the

1697
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 2: address of my client and they need to find it

1698
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 2: a nearby hotel. I'd like to search for a hotel

1699
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 2: based on brand to increase my loyalty points, and so

1700
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 2: let's see here. I've tried various methods on iOS, Google Maps,

1701
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 2: even map quest to find hotels in proximity, but I've

1702
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,839
Speaker 2: not found an easy solution. I've spoken to fellow travelers

1703
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 2: and they don't have good suggestions. If you have a

1704
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 2: tip app or anything else that resolves this, I bet

1705
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 2: your followers would be eager to learn about it. Yes,

1706
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 2: I do have a solution for this because I did

1707
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 2: the same exact thing. I was looking for a way

1708
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 2: to find hotel closest to where I am going for

1709
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:48,719
Speaker 2: an event in a different city, and it's surprisingly tough

1710
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 2: and I think the reason why it's so tough is

1711
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of marketing money at stake. These

1712
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 2: websites like trip Advisor and all these other sites, they

1713
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,600
Speaker 2: make money based on the hotel that you choose, and

1714
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to make it easy for you to

1715
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 2: just find the closest hotel and book it. They want

1716
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 2: to make money based on They're presenting you a list

1717
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 2: of results that make them the most money in that order.

1718
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: So what have I found?

1719
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 2: Well, my favorite app for doing this used to be

1720
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 2: called hotels dot com. And you can put in the

1721
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 2: address of where you're going, and then hotels, of course

1722
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 2: would try to sort it by what's quote unquote recommended,

1723
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 2: which just means the sort that makes us the most money.

1724
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 2: But you could change that sort to distance and you

1725
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 2: can find the hotels directly closest to the area you

1726
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 2: want to stay in.

1727
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 1: You know the thing.

1728
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,799
Speaker 2: Let's say you have a convention center, you know, convention

1729
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 2: at a convention center, you want the hotel that's walking

1730
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 2: distance to the convention center, right, so you can sort

1731
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:49,840
Speaker 2: by distance, and then, like you're saying, you want to

1732
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:53,800
Speaker 2: be able to sort even further by the hotel name

1733
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,720
Speaker 2: or the Loyalty brand, and you'd be able to do

1734
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 2: that as well. But Hotels dot Com just got rid

1735
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 2: of this functionality, and so I've been searching for a

1736
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 2: new way to do this, and it seems like the

1737
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 2: closest way is called Booking dot Com. And Booking dot

1738
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 2: Com will let you put in as on the website.

1739
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 2: I haven't checked this on the app, but on Booking

1740
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 2: dot Com you can type in an address and sort

1741
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 2: by distance from that address. So, for instance, if I

1742
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 2: say Las Vegas Convention Center and you can put that

1743
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 2: in there and check in date, let's just put any

1744
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 2: old date here and press search and it will show

1745
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,479
Speaker 2: your results on a map. Now, of course, again I

1746
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 2: said the the sort you want to do distance from

1747
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 2: place of interest, and so that's the that's the way

1748
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 2: you want to sort. And the closest hotel is the

1749
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:50,679
Speaker 2: Residence in by Mariott Las Vegas Convention Center, point two

1750
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:54,679
Speaker 2: miles from map center. Now, if you do the default,

1751
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:58,679
Speaker 2: which is top picks that hotel is twenty miles away.

1752
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean, on who wants to say twenty miles away

1753
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 2: from where they're going. So that is the way to

1754
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 2: do it. That's the only way I can do it.

1755
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you have to book on booking dot Com,

1756
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 2: but that will definitely help you find the hotel. Now,

1757
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:13,680
Speaker 2: the other way I find hotels this is since I'm

1758
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 2: on the topic of hotels, I'll tell you my little secrets.

1759
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,959
Speaker 2: So I go to I have actually two more secrets.

1760
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 2: So I go to trip Advisor. I type in the

1761
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 2: name of where I'm going. So let's say I'm going

1762
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:30,840
Speaker 2: to Charleston, South Carolina. Okay, so char LSTN. So if

1763
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 2: you go to trip Advisor, you can type in Charleston,

1764
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:36,439
Speaker 2: and then up at the top it says hotels. You

1765
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 2: tap that, and then you can put in your dates.

1766
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 2: You don't have to, but you can put in your

1767
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 2: dates if you want. But you can see all the

1768
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 2: properties in Charleston one hundred and thirty seven and then

1769
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:48,600
Speaker 2: it says sort by best value. Now I don't like

1770
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 2: that sort because I don't even know what that means. You

1771
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:53,599
Speaker 2: can look up. You can change that sort to what's

1772
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 2: called traveler ranked, and that's the one that I like

1773
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 2: because that's going to show you the top hotel based

1774
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,160
Speaker 2: on what travelers you're doing. And then you can go

1775
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 2: in you can sort by the neighborhood, the rating, the

1776
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 2: hotel class or the brand. So those are my two

1777
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 2: little tricks for booking hotels. All right, Coming up next,

1778
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 2: Jefferson Graham, I'm going to talk about taking time lapses

1779
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 2: on your smartphone. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro,

1780
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:32,479
Speaker 2: that's my name, talking technology with you. Website is Richontech

1781
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,719
Speaker 2: dot tv, and you can follow me on social media

1782
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 2: on all of the major platforms at rich on Tech

1783
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:43,280
Speaker 2: got an email through the website from my k Rich

1784
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 2: regarding the caller on Saturday that asked about photo scanning.

1785
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,679
Speaker 2: Did they indicate the medium of her pictures? We're actual

1786
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 2: photos or were they slides and negatives. I've scanned tens

1787
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 2: of thousands of slides and negatives and generally pick a

1788
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 2: DEPI between twenty four thirty and thirty two hundred. I

1789
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,639
Speaker 2: use an flatbed scanner and scan up to twelve slides

1790
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 2: at a time or twenty four photos on negatives at

1791
01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:09,839
Speaker 2: a time. Software product I use is called silver Fast

1792
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 2: that allows me to batch scan the slides and negatives. Ooh,

1793
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,599
Speaker 2: silver Fast. That's a good one, So good question, Mike.

1794
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:21,360
Speaker 2: I believe they said photos in the email, but I

1795
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 2: agree I should have mentioned the delineation between negatives and

1796
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 2: also actual photos. I would say I think that negatives

1797
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 2: would be the better way to go because that's a

1798
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:35,880
Speaker 2: much more kind of pure way of capturing what was

1799
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 2: originally in the picture. Jefferson Graham is with Photo Walks

1800
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:46,719
Speaker 2: TV formerly of USA Today, recently captured an epic ten

1801
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:50,720
Speaker 2: day time lapse with both the iPhone and Samsung. Jefferson

1802
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:53,560
Speaker 2: is all about smartphone photography.

1803
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:56,720
Speaker 1: Did I say that right? Jefferson? Smartphones?

1804
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:58,439
Speaker 3: It's a new word. It's a new word, but I

1805
01:32:58,520 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 3: like it.

1806
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 1: What A say song?

1807
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 2: They've got something like they call phontography. Maybe I don't know.

1808
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.

1809
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 3: Thank you great to be here.

1810
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 1: Have you scanned?

1811
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 2: Do you have a do you have a thought on

1812
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 2: UH scanning negatives versus the old the actual picture.

1813
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 10: It's very funny because our friend who has this little

1814
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 10: UH scanning business is the is the place I go to.

1815
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:24,920
Speaker 3: I hate to give him plug and.

1816
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 10: He's so pushy on this, but scan my photos dot

1817
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:30,639
Speaker 10: Com is where I bring my stuff. I just had

1818
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 10: hundreds of negatives scanned and hundreds of slides and they

1819
01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 10: clean up the image and they're really nice.

1820
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,599
Speaker 2: I mean, I would think that the negative would be

1821
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 2: better than the actual photo.

1822
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 3: But all of your listeners, yes, but anyway.

1823
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:49,040
Speaker 2: Anyway, but as as I was remembering from what what

1824
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 2: you know, what I was told is that most people

1825
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 2: just have the pictures they you know, and look, you're

1826
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 2: looking at them on your smartphone ninety percent of the time.

1827
01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 1: So it's it's just as good.

1828
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 10: Okay, So let's yeah this har as scanner goes, I

1829
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 10: don't have a scanner. I find it way too time consuming. Yeah,

1830
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 10: so that that's my answer to that. And you could

1831
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:09,759
Speaker 10: take great photos of your of your photos on your phone.

1832
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:11,720
Speaker 2: That's true. You can use your phone to scan them.

1833
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many ways to do this, but

1834
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 2: it's just the reality is just get them scanned. That's

1835
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,880
Speaker 2: the bottom line. Like, no matter what you do, it's

1836
01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 2: gonna be better. Just don't do the thing where you

1837
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 2: take a picture with a flash and you have like

1838
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,360
Speaker 2: this big giant like flash reflection on your pictures when

1839
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 2: you scan them.

1840
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 10: There are definitely some better Also, stand further back because

1841
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 10: you'll get a shadow of yourself in the photo. So

1842
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 10: if you use your your Portraita telephoto lens and stand

1843
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 10: further back, you'll get a better image of the photo.

1844
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 2: The two that's a great one. The two apps that

1845
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 2: I like. One is from Google. It's called photo Scan.

1846
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 2: It hasn't been updated in a while, so I think

1847
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:50,479
Speaker 2: they gave up on it, but it still works. And

1848
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 2: then the other one that's actually really good is called

1849
01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:55,720
Speaker 2: photo Mind P h O T O M y n E.

1850
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 2: And I think you have to pay a little bit,

1851
01:34:58,320 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 2: but it's pretty good. And you can even scan negatives

1852
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:05,240
Speaker 2: with that slide? Can you scan it? I think you

1853
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 2: could scan slides with it. Maybe not a negative, but

1854
01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:08,360
Speaker 2: a slide for sure.

1855
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:09,759
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about.

1856
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,639
Speaker 3: Your monthly subscription. Yes, let's talk about a tide lapse.

1857
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:13,120
Speaker 3: Go for it.

1858
01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 2: So you took this epic ten date. What made you

1859
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 2: want to take a ten day time lapse?

1860
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 10: Well, what happened was that I was visiting Nova Scotia.

1861
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 10: I was filming one of my episodes for Photo Walks

1862
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,519
Speaker 10: TV on Nova Scotia, and the place we stayed in

1863
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 10: was they put on the TV one morning a thirty

1864
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 10: minute time lapse of Nova Scotia for you know, as

1865
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 10: we were eating breakfast, I said, you know I could

1866
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 10: do that in Manette Beach. Why don't I do something

1867
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:40,760
Speaker 10: like that when I get home, and I have a

1868
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:43,719
Speaker 10: friend who actually lives at the beach, and I said,

1869
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 10: may I put my camera on your deck for a

1870
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 10: few days? And they said, well, we can go want better.

1871
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:54,759
Speaker 10: Our next door neighbor upstairs neighbor is away for ten days,

1872
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 10: and why don't you put it up there on a

1873
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 10: second story. You don't have to worry about anybody stealing

1874
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 10: your phone. And I said, great, Now she's gone for

1875
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 10: ten days, so I'm going to use the ten days. Really,

1876
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,639
Speaker 10: all I wanted to do was go from one day

1877
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:11,679
Speaker 10: to the next, because when I do a time lapse,

1878
01:36:11,720 --> 01:36:13,599
Speaker 10: I let it go for about an hour and then

1879
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 10: I peter out. I just get tired of standing there.

1880
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,839
Speaker 10: And I wanted to see the sunset to the darkness

1881
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 10: of the night, to the night shifting today. That's really

1882
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,800
Speaker 10: what I wanted. But since I had the opportunity to

1883
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 10: go for so long, I took it. And now I

1884
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:30,639
Speaker 10: have a friend who lives at the beach. You don't,

1885
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,280
Speaker 10: You probably don't, but you might have a friend.

1886
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:36,160
Speaker 3: Who has a balcony, who has a deck, who has.

1887
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 10: Or you may have one of those things, and so

1888
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 10: if you could put the camera, let it roll. You're

1889
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 10: going to get some amazing footage of stuff that you

1890
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 10: would never see with your naked eye, primarily because you'll

1891
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 10: be asleep.

1892
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:49,639
Speaker 3: Asleep, and all this stuff happened.

1893
01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 2: So you did this with the iPhone and the Samsung,

1894
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:54,280
Speaker 2: and I assume you set it up on a tripod.

1895
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:56,160
Speaker 2: You had to make sure the tripod didn't blow over,

1896
01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 2: you had to plug in the phones. I'm guessing, so

1897
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 2: what did you? Did you use any particular settings because

1898
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:05,160
Speaker 2: I never know, like which time lap setting to use

1899
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 2: on the iPhone. I don't think they give you a setting, right.

1900
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, First of all, all you need is a tripod,

1901
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 10: a smartphone, a mount to go in the tripod to

1902
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 10: put the phone on top of it, and the extension cord.

1903
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: That's it.

1904
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 3: That is it.

1905
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:24,800
Speaker 10: And I kept going back every day to make sure

1906
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 10: that the cameras hadn't turned off, that they weren't overheating,

1907
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:30,760
Speaker 10: and they weren't, so that was all good. That the

1908
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:34,679
Speaker 10: iPhone will not let you make a decision beyond which

1909
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:38,440
Speaker 10: lens to use, the ultra wide, the wide, or the telephoto.

1910
01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 3: I recommend the.

1911
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 10: One X, which is the wide, because it's the sharpest

1912
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:46,040
Speaker 10: lens and it's the best in low light. So that's

1913
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 10: what I use on the galaxy. There's thirty decisions. There's

1914
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,520
Speaker 10: a lot of decisions.

1915
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the galaxy and is it under hyper laps?

1916
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,960
Speaker 10: It's under more. It's under more said, you know, after

1917
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 10: you go all the way to the end. Yes, under more.

1918
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 10: And it's called hyper laps.

1919
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,679
Speaker 2: Okay, so they call it hyper lapse. That's confusing. Shouldn't

1920
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 2: it be time lapse?

1921
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 1: Okay?

1922
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 3: Well, okay, it should, but it isn't.

1923
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:11,439
Speaker 1: Okay.

1924
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,720
Speaker 10: And there are so many decisions. Do you want to

1925
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 10: shoot one frame a second? Do you want to shoot five, ten, thirty?

1926
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:18,760
Speaker 10: It goes on and on and on. Do you want

1927
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:20,400
Speaker 10: to shoot for a minute? Do you want to shoot

1928
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 10: for ken? Do you want to shoot for twenty? I

1929
01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 10: shot for Unlimited and I shot at one frame a

1930
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:28,160
Speaker 10: second and it ran for days and days.

1931
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 3: My file was HUMANUS sixty gigabytes.

1932
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 1: Wow.

1933
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 10: But once I finally got there, I got there.

1934
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 2: That's really cool. I love that they give you all

1935
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 2: these options. I'm looking at this. You get automatic fifteen x,

1936
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 2: forty five five X, and then the time limit, so

1937
01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 2: if you want to do it for a certain amount

1938
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 2: of time, you can do four K, or you can

1939
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 2: do just HD.

1940
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 1: So which camera did it better?

1941
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 10: The Galaxy by far, hands down. Now that's that's using

1942
01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 10: the settings that I used in the Galaxy, and that's

1943
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 10: using the automatic settings in the iPhone. People have to

1944
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 10: know that Apple will actually screw you if you want

1945
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:11,639
Speaker 10: to shoot for longer than an hour. No matter how

1946
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 10: long you shoot, whether it's for two hours, five hours,

1947
01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:17,759
Speaker 10: ten hours a day, three days, five days, your video

1948
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:18,799
Speaker 10: will be thirty seconds.

1949
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 3: So after it will be thirty seconds.

1950
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:22,680
Speaker 2: No matter what, no matter how long you leave it there.

1951
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,000
Speaker 2: So if you leave it there and walk away, matter what. Okay,

1952
01:39:25,040 --> 01:39:26,439
Speaker 2: so you're only getting thirty seconds.

1953
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 10: So they will take frames out out of your footage.

1954
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 10: They will do all sorts of weird things that will

1955
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 10: make it really really really fast, faster than it needs

1956
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 10: to be unless you go to a third party app.

1957
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:41,599
Speaker 10: Once I discovered what was going on, I couldn't figure

1958
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 10: it out.

1959
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 3: Hey, I just let it run for three days, I'll

1960
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:46,759
Speaker 3: I have thirty seconds. Doesn't make any sense. So anyway, so.

1961
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 10: I use an app called lapse it, which is well,

1962
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 10: it's sort of free, and it's a dollar for a week,

1963
01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:55,360
Speaker 10: and it's five dollars for the year, but it worked

1964
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 10: really well and it did everything I wanted to do.

1965
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:00,360
Speaker 3: There are other apps you can use, the Moment app.

1966
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:03,679
Speaker 10: You can use the new black Magic Camera app, which

1967
01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 10: is complicated. The Lapset app is not, so back to

1968
01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:13,280
Speaker 10: back both of them.

1969
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so the the.

1970
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 3: Lap to watch TV, go to the hour long.

1971
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:20,639
Speaker 2: Yeah we lost you for a second there, so you're

1972
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:23,960
Speaker 2: you're saying the lapse laps it and then the Moment

1973
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 2: app and then the black Magic Camera app, and that

1974
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 2: one's like really high end.

1975
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:32,639
Speaker 1: So where can we see the fruits of your labor?

1976
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 10: YouTube dot com, slash go to watch TV. I have

1977
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:40,160
Speaker 10: a playlist and you can go to all of them.

1978
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 10: I had the ten day, I have the one hour

1979
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 10: which is that's laps and at the beginning then it

1980
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 10: goes to the galaxy and have a complete how too.

1981
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:51,120
Speaker 10: So I think I'll answer all your questions there and

1982
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,879
Speaker 10: if you have any more, just hit me up. Subscribe

1983
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:56,599
Speaker 10: to the newsletter. Jefferson gram that substack dot com. I

1984
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:58,479
Speaker 10: know we've had three substackers here today.

1985
01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, go substack, Go sub stack. So I have a

1986
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:02,680
Speaker 1: challenge for you.

1987
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 2: There's a website called window dash swap dot com and

1988
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:13,560
Speaker 2: I found this website and it basically has people's windows

1989
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 2: like they looking out their window. And so I think

1990
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 2: that this would be a fun thing for you to do,

1991
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:21,000
Speaker 2: is to create one of these. You know, I think

1992
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 2: it's like tenor This is not a time lapse, but

1993
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 2: it's just like a ten or fifteen minute video outside

1994
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 2: your window. And since you live near the beach, you

1995
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:30,760
Speaker 2: could have fun with this. And you can just see

1996
01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 2: a bunch of people's different windows throughout the world. And

1997
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:37,559
Speaker 2: it's called windows Swap, Window dash Swap dot com, and

1998
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:38,559
Speaker 2: so it's just kind of.

1999
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,040

Speaker 10: time lapse of Chucky Cheese at the end of the animatronics.

2001
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh I should I it's so sad, it's almost but

2002
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:49,640
Speaker 2: when you look at those things up close, they are

2003
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 2: kind of creepy.

2004
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.

2005
01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 2: The like I said, the last time laps I did,

2006
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 2: Jefferson was in my hotel room in New York City.

2007
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I got in so early. I

2008
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 2: got in it. I took a red eye. I got

2009
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:02,599
Speaker 2: it at five am. I checked into my hotel at

2010
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:05,200
Speaker 2: five point fifty five am. And the guy looks at

2011
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 2: the time he goes, you're here a little early, you know,

2012
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 2: check in is usually like four pm, he said, but

2013
01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 2: I do have a room for you. And so I

2014
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 2: was so tired, but it was such a beautiful view

2015
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 2: outside my room that I was like, ooh, before I

2016
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 2: go to sleep. Because I was going to take a nap.

2017
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 2: I said, let me set up the camera in the

2018
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:21,280
Speaker 2: window and I'll see if I can get a time lapse.

2019
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 2: And so I set up the camera and it worked.

2020
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:26,479
Speaker 2: It ran forever. I actually was using the nothing phone

2021
01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:28,560
Speaker 2: and it did a beautiful time lapse. I don't know

2022
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:31,479
Speaker 2: where I posted that, maybe on my Instagram. Anyway, time

2023
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 2: lapses are fun. Thanks for coming on the show today.

Speaker 2: you email me throughout the week. I can't get to

2034
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 2: all of it, but I'll try to do my best.

2035
01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 2: Let me just get through a couple of news stories first,

2036
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:15,520
Speaker 2: I wanted to mention a couple of Amazon stories. Amazon

2037
01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:20,799
Speaker 2: is introducing a new Prime health benefit with their new

2038
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:24,080
Speaker 2: subsidiary called One Medical. They bought this company, I don't know,

2039
01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 2: last year. This is a medical provider, and now they're

2040
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 2: adding nine dollars a month or ninety nine dollars a

2041
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:32,679
Speaker 2: year for Prime members to get twenty four to seven

2042
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:36,920
Speaker 2: on demand virtual care nationwide, or you can get an

2043
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:41,560
Speaker 2: appointment for an in office visit at one Medical locations

2044
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 2: across the US. You can use your insurance or you

2045
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:46,639
Speaker 2: can pay out of pocket. They do accept a lot

2046
01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 2: of insurance plans. The main thing here is that you

2047
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 2: can get unlimited access to virtual care at no cost.

2048
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 2: So if you have something simple that just requires a

2049
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 2: of you know, virtual care, you can do that quickly

2050
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:01,840
Speaker 2: and sign up now. Of course they want you to

2051
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:07,479
Speaker 2: get your your prescriptions through Amazon Pharmacy, but nine bucks

2052
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 2: a month or ninety nine dollars a year, this is

2053
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 2: really if you are kind of you want like a

2054
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:16,040
Speaker 2: more modern medical experience and you maybe don't go to

2055
01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 2: the doctor as much.

2056
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 1: That's the way I see it.

2057
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 2: But Amazon's really been pushing hard into healthcare, and so

2058
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:26,519
Speaker 2: far nobody's really made a huge dent in healthcare, like

2059
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:29,760
Speaker 2: made it easy for someone like myself that I like

2060
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 2: everything to be sort of on demand. You know, you

2061
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,759
Speaker 2: call your doctor to reschedule an appointment. They're like, Okay,

2062
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 2: we can get you in. Maybe this is just an

2063
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 2: LA thing. We can get you in, you know, next October.

2064
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 2: You're like, what what do you mean next October?

2065
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 1: Like what I mean?

2066
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 2: I literally called one time for you know, I had

2067
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:47,240
Speaker 2: like a sore throat or something like, oh, we can't

2068
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 2: take you got to go to like a medi center.

2069
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,560
Speaker 1: It's like wait, what So anyway.

01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 2: The one medical says you can get same day or

2071
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:59,040

Speaker 2: do that. Now delivery is gonna cost you a fee.

2083
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:35,679
Speaker 2: which is the self checkout car. I love the killer

2084
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,439
Speaker 2: new feature, which is it adds up your groceries as

2085
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:41,760
Speaker 2: you're walking through the store. I've wanted that forever because

2086
01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 2: I want to know how much I'm spending. You know,

2087
01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:45,120
Speaker 2: you go to the grocery store, you end up spending

2088
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 2: so much more than you think. BUCkies and Mercedes Benz.

2089
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 2: Have you been to a BUCkies? Have you heard of BUCkies?

2090
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:54,960
Speaker 2: Bobo has never heard of BUCkies. I never did either

2091
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 2: until I would land it in some Texas town and

2092
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 2: I said, what is this? It was like the Holy

2093
01:46:00,479 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 2: Grail of gas stations. I'm talking like one hundred pumps

2094
01:46:04,920 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 2: and this place was incredible. It's probably one of the

2095
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:11,200
Speaker 2: earliest viral videos or videos I had go viral on

2096
01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 2: my Facebook page because I was such a fish out

2097
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 2: of water. I'm like, I'm like this, you know, kid

2098
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 2: from New Jersey in LA and I get to Texas

2099
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 2: and I'm like, wait, what is this? I stopped, I

2100
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 2: walked in. I'm like This is incredible. I'm talking all

2101
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:26,599
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff. Anyway, if you haven't been to all BUCkies,

2102
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 2: you have to check it out when you go to Texas.

2103
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:31,759
Speaker 2: And if you have been, you know what I'm talking about. Anyway,

2104
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 2: they're partnering with Mercedes Benz. They're gonna add ev charging

2105
01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 2: at Buckies' locations by the end of twenty twenty four.

2106
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:42,080
Speaker 2: They're adding a whole bunch of them. They're gonna have

2107
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 2: over four hundred charging hubs nationwide by twenty twenty seven.

2108
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:49,519
Speaker 2: They're gonna use charge Point and they're gonna have plugs

2109
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:51,720
Speaker 2: for all different evs, not just Mercedes, but I guess

2110
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:56,240
Speaker 2: they'll be Mercedes branded, so that's kind of cool. So

2111
01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:58,879
Speaker 2: they get to charge your car, and I will happily

2112
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:02,600
Speaker 2: stop to charge my car. Yeah, Bobo says, this is huge.

2113
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 2: I would happily stop to charge my car for a

2114
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 2: long time at a Buckie's. Apple gift card lawsuit settlement,

2115
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:10,280

01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:13,479

2117

2119
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:23,719
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and they had other people steal the cards

2120
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:27,679
Speaker 2: from them, apparently unauthorized redemptions in California. It's from May

2127
01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 2: Settlement dot com. But my advice watch out for scams

2128
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:53,200
Speaker 2: because you know they're going to be capitalizing on this,

2129
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:54,719
Speaker 2: so just be careful.

2130
01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:56,720
Speaker 1: All right.

2131

01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:03,720
Speaker 2: world and I love listening to your show. Thanks so much. Well,

01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 2: thank you, Wendy. That is the goal. If you've noticed,

2134
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:09,800
Speaker 2: this show is not for nerds. Nerds love it, but

2135
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 2: you can be a regular person and enjoy this show.

2136
01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 2: You don't have to be in tech nerd. The whole

2137
01:48:15,240 --> 01:48:18,320
Speaker 2: point is that I'm making you help you understand technology

2138
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 2: and making you feel smarter about it. You know't say

2139
01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 2: I don't know technology at all. Brent says, hey, Rich,

2140
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:29,680
Speaker 2: I saw your Rivian segment and you commented on the

2141
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:31,840
Speaker 2: charging issues. I'm surprised you didn't call it the company

2142
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:37,720
Speaker 2: Electrify America. The signage indicates the speeds, but like you said,

2143
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:41,280
Speaker 2: they're inconsistent. Many are non operational or intentionally set below

2144
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 2: one hundred kilo hours. Please do a look seet into

2145
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 2: this company. There's not one EA that's not disappointing. Yeah,

2146
01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 2: I've heard things about this Electrify America. I know it's

2147
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 2: not a perfect system. Charles says, I enjoyed your segment

2148
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:57,439
Speaker 2: on the Rivian with regards to evs. Where are the

2149
01:48:57,479 --> 01:49:01,080
Speaker 2: solar roofs and hoods? I read about corporating solar panels

2150
01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:02,800
Speaker 2: into rooftop surfaces a couple of years ago.

2151
01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:06,040
Speaker 1: Than nothing, not a peep. It would help with range anxiety. Yeah.

2152
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,160
Speaker 1: The problem, Charles is that solar.

2153
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:10,880
Speaker 2: Would not charge the battery fast enough or meaningful enough,

2154
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 2: and it would be too heavy.

2155
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 1: I think that's why.

2156
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:16,200
Speaker 2: Joanne says, hey, Rich, I bought a Ring camera and

2157
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 2: it works perfectly, but Amazon and FedEx driver deliveries do

2158
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:19,719
Speaker 2: not record.

2159
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: Where's our X files? Music?

2160
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:27,120
Speaker 2: Ring User blog suspects that drivers are jamming the devices.

2161
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:30,759
Speaker 2: I primarily wanted to see deliveries to prevent porch piracy.

2162
01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 2: There are reports to the FCC. I learned Amazon and

2163
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:37,200
Speaker 2: FedEx with the delivery tracking numbers since an Amazon products surprise,

2164
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:41,200
Speaker 2: there's not been any sufficient response from ring complaints date

2165
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:42,040
Speaker 2: back years.

2166
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: Joanne Joeann.

2167
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:47,439
Speaker 2: That sounds like a major conspiracy. I doubt that FedEx

2168
01:49:47,479 --> 01:49:49,599
Speaker 2: and Amazon workers are sitting there trying to jam every

2169
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:53,720
Speaker 2: ring doorbell they see. Alan says, I love listening to

2170
01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:55,719
Speaker 2: you talk about EV's and range. Do you even realize

2171
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 2: most evs are charged up by diesel generators, So all

2172
01:49:58,439 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 2: your electric dream is really a talk about that on

2173
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:04,080
Speaker 2: your show. Look it up, Alan Oh, Alan, I don't

2174
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 2: want to end the show on a bad note, but

2175
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 2: that's going to do it. You can find links on

2176
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 2: the website rich on tech dot TV. Find me on

2177
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 2: social media. I am at rich on tech.

2178
01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 1: Talk to you next week.
