Speaker 1: anyone can use it. I'll tell you how you have

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: to protect your phone. The US just banned most new

Speaker 1: Wi Fi routers from being sold. What that means for

5

Speaker 1: settings everyone should change right now. Well, I hope you're

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: having a fantastic weekend. Welcome to the show, Thanks for

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: being here. Lots of news this week. We're going to

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: try to get through as much of it as possible,

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: plus of course your calls. But a big, a big

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: one this week. The FCC kind of a head scratcher,

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: but not really banning foreign made Wi Fi routers from

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: being sold in the US. And the problem is that's

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: basically all of them. This happened this week. The FCC

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: ordered a ban on the import of all new consumer

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: routers manufactured overseas. They said, there's too many cybersecurity risks here.

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: The foreign made routers pose unacceptable risks to the US

38
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: national security. Now this is not without any sort of basis.

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: We've seen that foreign made routers were implicated in various

40
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: cyber attacks and also a lot of people's homes are

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: sometimes turned into these bots. These you know, they're used

42
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: to carry out nefarious tasks and people don't even realize

43
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: that so that's the problem. But here's the other issue. China,

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: which is included in this ban estimate, is estimated to

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: control at least sixty percent of the US market for

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: home routers. So what does that mean where we're going

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: to get our routers from now? The router you already have,

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: it's fine, you don't have to change anything right now.

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: It only applies to new devices. You can still use

50
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: your existing router. And it's weird they put this like

51
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: March first, twenty twenty seven day on software updates. But

52
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of this is going to

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: evolve and change and store still get sorted out, so

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't change anything right now. The complicated part is

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: that there's really no routers that are made in the

56
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: US right now. Starlink routers apparently are made in Texas,

57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: but no one's using Starlink for their home Internet. I mean,

58
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: not a majority of people, right and we wouldn't expect

59
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: them to either, So what's going to happen here? Already,

60
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: companies like tp link, that's one of the biggest router

61
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: companies out there, of course, they are made in China.

62
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: They're all We're already wondering what's happening with them. But

63
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: neck Year, who apparently is headquartered here in the US,

64
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: but they make stuff in China, they are already you know,

65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: saying hey, can we make sure that we're okay here?

66
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: So I think what's going to happen here is all

67
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: these companies that make routers are going to be applying

68
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: for exemptions and they're going to be trying to figure

69
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: out they can move their operations in any way to

70
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: make them, you know, apply to these rules properly. But

71
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: we don't know what's happening. I mean, I think that

72
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: there's just too much out there right now to kind

73
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: of settle down before you make any decisions. So for

74
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: right now, just understand there may be changes with the

75
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: types of routers that you have to buy in the future,

76
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: but right now, whatever you have at home, just stick

77
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: with it. It'll be fine for now. That's the bottom line,

78
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: speaking of using your router streaming. Netflix raising prices again. Yeah,

79
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: it feels like they just did this and now they're

80
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: doing it again. So let me tell you. The main

81
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: price increases the standard with ads going from seven ninety

82
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: nine to nine to eight ninety nine a month, So

83
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: dollar there, the ad free, which is the standard, goes

84
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: from seventeen ninety nine to nineteen ninety nine a month,

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: and then the Premium four K plan, their top of

86
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: the line plan, goes from twenty four ninety nine to

87
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: twenty six ninety nine, so basically a dollar to two

88
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: dollars across the board. But if you have one of

89
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: these extra members on your plan, as I do, Hey

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: mom paying for you, that's an extra What used to

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: be eight ninety nine a month now it's nine to

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: ninety nine a month. So if you are on the

93
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: Premium four K plan plus an extra member, you're now

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: looking at close to forty dollars a month for just

95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: one streaming service. Now, that's still cheaper than a movie ticket.

96
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: I checked. A movie ticket in Los Angeles on a

97
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Friday night is about thirty dollars for an IMAX to

98
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: two cokes and a popcorn is another thirty dollars. You're

99
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: talking sixty dollars to go to the movies, and that's

100
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: just one ticket. So I guess you'd actually have to

101
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: do if you're getting two sodas, you'd probably get two tickets, right,

102
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: So you're talking one hundred and twenty dollars that can't

103
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: be right. No, so be sixty plus another thirty. So

104
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: that's ninety dollars for two people to go to the movies.

105
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: That is wild. So yes, these streaming services are still

106
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: cheaper than one night at the movies, but I don't

107
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: think we're comparing it that way because streaming services used

108
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: to be a good value. Like when you're paying eight

109
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: bucks for Netflix for all the stuff they offered, you're like,

110
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: this is awesome, this is amazing. Now when you're paying

111
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: forty dollars and they're going, oh, I need to watch

112
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: a lot of Netflix to get my money's worth. Oh

113
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: and by the way, there's Disney Plus, there's Prime Video,

114
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: there's YouTube Premium, there's Peacock, there's Paramount, there's Peloton. I mean,

115
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're watching that for entertainment, but

116
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you're paying for a lot

117
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: of these services. So Netflix says all the money is

118
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: going back into content. They're planning on spending twenty billion

119
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: dollars to make programming in twenty twenty six, which is

120
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: up from eighteen billion last year. But they don't mind

121
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: passing on these costs to you. And I'm sure Netflix

122
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: has some pretty nice perks if you work there and

123
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: if you know, make movies for them. What else? Oh,

124
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: live events also cost a lot more. You're going to

125
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: see the new rates kick in on your next billing

126
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: cycle if you're already a subscriber. If you're a new subscriber,

127
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: you're going to see the higher prices right away. And

128
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: this is a great thing that happened this week. This

129
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: can we just say holly Lujah lujah. Samsung phones finally

130
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: got air drop this week, which means you can now

131
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: share between Samsung and iPhone photos, videos, files amazing. This

132
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: is huge, Starting with the Galaxy AS twenty six series.

133
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: I got the update early in the week. It was

134
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: about almost about eight hundred and seventy megabytes. It was

135
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: a big one. But it adds this new quick share

136
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: setting that's called Share with Apple devices and it is

137
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: on by default. So basically, all you have to do

138
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: is have your iPhone friend set their air drop to everyone.

139
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: For ten minutes. On the Galaxy, you tap share, will

140
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: you share whatever? Then you tap quick Share, select the

141
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: iPhone and send. Now, of course they have to be

142
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: nearby for that to work, but this is an incredible

143
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: feature to have across all platforms. No more texting, no

144
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: more cloud, no more email, no more links. You can finally,

145
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: when someone takes a picture at a party, you say, hey,

146
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: can you air drop that to me? And you look

147
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: at their phone you see all those lenses on the

148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: back of Oh you're Android. No, they can finally do it,

149
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: or vice versa. I'm not judging one or the other.

150
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Believe me. By the way, none of this was done

151
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: with Apple's blessing. Apple is not. They don't want this

152
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: to happen, just like they would love if you were

153
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: not able to message between an iPhone and an Android.

154
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: But you know, of course you have to be able

155
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: to do that. Apple did not enable this. Apple did

156
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: not say yes, you can air drop here take the code.

157
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: No.

158
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: What happened was Google figured out how to make this

159
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: happen and then they shared that information with Samsung, and

160
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: now Samsung is making it happen. So this will come

161
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: to other phones as well, not just the Samsung Galaxy lineup.

162
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: So right now it's all the S twenty six series.

163
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: Eventually it'll be other Samsungs as well. And if you

164
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: have a Pixel phone, Pixel nine, Pixel ten series has

165
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: already had air drop for a while now. So this

166
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: is a great bridge that we're seeing. In fact, history

167
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: was made this week. And I posted that on my Instagram.

168
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: I said, this is a historic day. I wouldn't say

169
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: as historic is like the Declaration of Independence or anything

170
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: along those lines, but it's still pretty big. I would

171
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: say it's right up there. Number two, maybe maybe number three.

172
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: There's probably been some other notable points in history, all right,

173
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: eight eight eight rich one oh one eight eight eight

174
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Give me

175
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,560

Speaker 1: Let's go to line three. We've got Jason in Michigan. Jason,

187
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: you're on with.

188
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: Rich Hi Rich, Hi, Rick, This is Jason. I'm a

189
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 3: small business owner in southeast Michigan. How are you doing.

190
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, thanks for calling. What's up?

191
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: Well, I've got a little row I'm having with Facebook.

192
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: I just started using meta ads and inadvertently got charged

193
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: nine hundred and fifty dollars from them. I found out

194
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: one morning I woke up. So I tried to reach

195
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: out to them to get that resolved. And you know,

196
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: there's no one you can call or talk to, so

197
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 3: I submitted it through their their online portal and I'm

198
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: just was waiting to hear while I've been locked out.

199
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: So they wanted to reverify my business or my image,

200
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: I guess, you know, turn right, turn left. And as

201
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: a result of doing that, it said I was locked

202
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 3: out of Facebook and that I could, you know, hit

203
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: this button if I disagreed, and I did, and it

204
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 3: wanted me to send a static picture myself upload it,

205
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 3: and I did that as well, and in ten seconds

206
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 3: later it came back and said I was permanently banned

207
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 3: for violating their community standards for child sexual exploitation.

208
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: Well, what kind of picture did you send?

209
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: That's exactly nothing? There is absolutely nothing on my Facebook,

210
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 3: nothing on my meta ads or my business profile that

211
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: would ever, you know, suggest that I'm doing anything wrong.

212
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: So I'm completely baffled.

213
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: Okay, well, number one, you've had two terrible experiences with

214
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: this company. Maybe it's time to stop doing business with them.

215
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's one way of dealing with it.

216
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: But you know, joking aside. Here's the thing, So a

217
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: couple of things happening. Number One, you mentioned that you

218
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: were charged a lot of money for an ad. It

219
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: sounds like you would play some sort of ad and

220
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: it was like an automatic spend. Maybe there was no

221
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: limit on there, so I would definitely be careful moving

222
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: forward with that. Number Two, when it comes to what

223
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: happened with the verification meta, as you might imagine, huge company,

224
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: a lot of small business people like yourself are understanding

225
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: that this can be a great way to reach the

226
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: people in your area. Because everyone's on Instagram, everyone's on Facebook,

227
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: so I get that it could be highly targeted ads.

228
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: The problem is they're using a lot of AI to

229
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: help them along and that saves them money. Right, because

230
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: a lot of people are doing what you're doing. Not

231
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: so good for you, because when something goes wrong. Who

232
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: do you call? You can't get someone on the phone,

233
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: It's nearly impossible, and you can't really get help via

234
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: email because they probably are swamped with so many responses

235
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: from this. So couple things. Number one, they do have

236
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: for your account. They've got this new like account Recovery Hub.

237
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Have you tried going there?

238
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: No.

239
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 3: I did send an email to denied at Facebook. It

240
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: was something like denied. I can't remember exactly what the

241
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: email address was. Okay, I've got no response from that.

242
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course not. But there is a there is

243
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: a website that they that they came up with that

244
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: actually helps helps people like you get control of their

245
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: account again. So it's at Meta dot com Slash Account Recovery,

246
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: Dash Support And this is brand new. This is within

247
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: the past I'd say month or two that they just

248
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: introduce this, and so you go there and it will

249
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: give you all the main things that people have trouble

250
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: with and yours is right there. I got banned from

251
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: one or more platforms, You can tap that and it

252
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: will help guide you through the process of regaining access.

253
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: The other thing you can do, if you're going to

254
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: continue to do business with this company, it might be

255
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: worth spending a little bit of money. It's I don't

256
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: know how much it is per month, but it's this

257
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: thing called meta yes, and I know it looks like

258
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: it's fifteen dollars a month for the standard fifty dollars

259
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: for the plus. But the good news about that is

260
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: that you do get access to their customer service in

261
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: a prioritized way. So it might be worth if you're

262
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: going to do a lot of business on here, to

263
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: sign up for that, just maybe for a couple of

264
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: months to kind of get things going and then go

265
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: from there. But that's the best advice I have for you, Jason.

266
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: I know it's not exactly, you know, the the golden

267
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: ticket to getting the support you need immediately, but that

268
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: that is probably the best way to get the help

269
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: if you need. I mean, it's really you know, all

270
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: these companies that we do business with online, they all

271
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: want us to do everything through email. Some of them

272
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: are better than others at responding to those emails and

273
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: responding to that support. I think that meta Facebook is

274
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, Instagram, they just have They're so big, it's

275
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: such a massive company that I can't imagine how many

276
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: emails and inbound requests they get for customer service on

277
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: the daily basis, So keep at it. That's the that's

278
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: the best advice I have. Thanks so much for the

279
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: call today. I appreciate it. There from Michigan eighty to

280
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven four

281
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: to two for one zero one. We'll get back to

282
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: more calls in just a bit. I posted this to

283
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: my Instagram at rich On Tech. I was speaking at

284
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: a senior event this week and a woman came up

285
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: to me and said, you know, I'm worried about putting

286
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: my personal information into chat EBT. Do you do that?

287
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, I'll put anything into there. I

288
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: mean I really unfortunately, just have to trust that, you know,

289
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: hopefully they won't get hacked whatever, but you have to

290
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: be aware of the stuff that you're popping in there.

291
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: But they are, they are. It brought up an interesting

292
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: topic that these AI companies Chat GBT, Claude, Gemini, they're

293
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: all training on whatever you type into these chatbots. By

294
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: to fall, they're going to train on your data. So

295
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: when you're asking questions, you're pasting in your emails, you're

296
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: pasting your medical history, your legal advice. They are training

297
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: their their robots on all this stuff, their their bots.

298
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: So if you don't want that to happen, there are

299
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: some settings you can change, because I always turn these

300
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: off immediately. I always go into the privacy set of

301
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: any app that I download and kind of see what

302
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: my options are. And you do have some options here. Now,

303
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that this is bulletproof, but basically the

304
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: bottom line is that if you don't change these settings,

305
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: all of these AI bots have the ability to improve

306
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: the model for everyone using your data. So on Chat

307
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: GBT for iPhone, you can go into your settings under

308
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: data controls, there's a toggle for improve the model for everyone.

309
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: On claud same thing. Go into your settings, tap your name,

310
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: hit privacy, and turn off the help improve Claude Gemini

311
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: little tricky. Google did something tricky here. You can go

312
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: into settings, find the Gemini app settings and turn off

313
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: the toggle. But if you turn this off, it also

314
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: turns off your chat history, which of course is kind

315
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: of a bummer, so you can never go back to

316
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: your old chats. They will hold your chats for seventy

317
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: two hours, but after that they're erased. So if you

318
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: want to see these steps, I've got them on my

319

330
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: on tech dot TV, hit email or hit contact. I

331
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: should say that's probably the best way to do it.

332
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Let's let's do an email real quick.

333
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: Nancy says Rich, I have a MacBook Air from twenty twenty.

334
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: I need to back it up. What hard drive do

335
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: you suggest? Also, my screen has been flashing every so often.

336
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: Should I just get a new laptop now? You don't

337
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: need a new life unless the flashing is like all

338
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: the time. That might just be a software update. That's

339
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty MacBook Air. But you should definitely be

340
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: backing up no matter what. For the external drive. I

341
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: mean Western Digital my passport. I think they make an

342
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: ultra version. That's a solid pick right there. You can't

343
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: go wrong once you plug it in. If it doesn't

344
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: automatically recognize it, go to time Machine and you can

345
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: set it up that way and you can format it.

346
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: If it's not formatted for your computer, you may have

347
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: to use what's called disc utility on the Mac to

348
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: format that. And I believe the format is the Mac format.

349
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: I believe is x FAT. I think that's the one

350
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: you want that will make compatibility between Mac and Windows

351
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: if you want to use, you know, swap it between

352
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: the two. If not, they have I think Mac is

353
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: like some apfs or something like that that you can choose.

354
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: So once you plug it in, time Machine should pop

355
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: up and say, hey, do you want to use time Machine?

356
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: If not, just go to time Machine and say set

357
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: that drive as your time machine. As for the flashing screen,

358
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you should rush out to buy a

359
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: new laptop unless it gets worse, or unless it really

360
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: impedes the use of this device. If it's happening just

361
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: every once in a while, sounds like it could be

362
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: something that's that's happening that's bigger or it could just

363
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: be software that you need to update, or some sort

364
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: of software is interfering with your computer. So I would

365
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: make sure you update all of your apps, make sure

366
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: you update the software on your computer and restart it,

367
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: and just make sure you got that back up and

368
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: use it until it stops working or you stop getting updates.

369
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: Thanks for the email, Nancy. Let's go to Ron in Salem, Oregon.

370
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: Ron is online four. Got my little helper here choosing

371
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: the lines. Ron.

372
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 4: You there, Yes, I am, what's yes? I am? Oh,

373
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 4: I just I have a tias Ex Epic and it's

374
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 4: been great. It's been a great phone for almost three years.

375
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 4: And my question is when I try to use stuff,

376
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 4: you know, answer somebody's phone their flat screen zone because

377
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, because I got to I've been tested

378
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 4: as having high iron in my blood. And when I

379
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 4: try to stop the try to answer it. It's hard

380
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 4: for me to answer anybody's phone, whether it's an Apple

381
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 4: or whether it's a Samsung flat screen.

382
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: Your finger, your finger's not activating it.

383
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 4: Yes, really, yes, I mean it. You know if I'm

384
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 4: typing real slow, like sending the map. Only time I

385
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 4: use a flat screen is I use map quest because

386
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 4: I don't like Google. Google's got me stuck more places

387
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 4: than I would say. But what But the main point

388
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: is is that I can tell you that I don't

389
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 4: have on my on any phone, says twenty twenty. Since

390
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: I know, since I was in the neighbor I know

391
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 4: about a lot about China's intelligence. One the certificates, I

392
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: disconnect a bunch of them if I can't pronounce the languages,

393
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 4: and I don't get all the day date ups and

394
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 4: everything up, you know. And the thing is my phone

395
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 4: won't update because AT and T disconnected us and we

396
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 4: can't I can't send pictures to my own email address

397
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 4: as of June seventeenth, last year. A lot of T

398
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 4: and D customers don't even know that.

399
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow, uh yeah, no, they did change that. You're right.

400
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: They did change the formatting for the mms like a

401
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: text message. All the phone numbers were like a text email,

402
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: but text to email. They did take that away. We

403
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: talked about that on the show What can I help

404
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: you with today?

405
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: Can you find me another good phone since you can't

406
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: get eight through AT and T a kin button phone?

407
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: And what do you know about the Nokia twenty one sixty.

408
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: Eight Nokia twenty one sixty eight. I got to look

409
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: it up to see what. Okay, oh gosh, twenty one

410
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: sixty I don't even know if I see that one anymore.

411
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the deal. If you're looking for a

412
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: phone that has a touch screen, Samsung does have a

413
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: feature on their phones that will increase the touch sensitivity

414
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: on the display. So you might look into that, Like

415
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: I would go into a store. What I would do

416
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: if I were you is I'd go into a store

417
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: and I would try these phones. The problem is so

418
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: many of these stores have dummy models out there, so

419
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: you need to go to a store that actually lets

420
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: you use the real phone. So make sure you go

421
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: to a store that you know the phones are alive,

422
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: and you might need to go like a best Buy.

423
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: It depends on how they have them set up. Sometimes

424
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: they're kind of going through like some sort of demo

425
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: on the screen. But you want to make sure that

426
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: you can actually physically use this phone. And I would

427
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: go into the settings and look for that touch sensitivity

428
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: setting on the Samsung, and that may increase the touch

429
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: sensitivity where you can use that phone. The other thing

430
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: I've noticed is that if your fingers are dirty or

431
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: dusty in any way, and since you have one of

432
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: these very durable phones, maybe you're doing something outside outdoors

433
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: that could be a little challenging too, So always try to,

434
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe keep a wipe or something around that

435
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: you can use to keep your fingers clean so that

436
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. I'm looking at this touchscreen situation here.

437
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: If I go to display and let's see here touch sensitivity,

438
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: increase the touch sensitivity of the screen for use with

439
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: screen protectors. That's what Samsung said. So if you turn

440
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: that on, you may have better luck at using that

441
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: phone with that sensitivity turned up a little higher. The

442
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Nokia twenty one sixty eight, I am not really seeing

443
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: a current phone with that model number. The last I'm

444
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: seeing there is that's that's quite an old phone. Now,

445
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: Nokia does have some phones, like if you want a

446
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: smartphone that is not as kind of high tech as

447
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: some of these other ones out there, like a just

448
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: a more simple phone, you can look at a website

449
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: called Dumbwireless dot com. They have the Nokia twenty seven

450
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: to eighty and so if you want something that has

451
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: physical buttons but also has a little screen that is

452
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: going to maybe be a little bit better for you

453
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: because you can you can use it all the different carriers,

454
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: and you mentioned AT and T. It does work on

455
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: AT and T, So maybe I would look into that,

456
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: look into that website and see what they have there.

457
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: The other phone. And I just want to mention this

458
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: company because I saw them at this assistive Tech conference

459
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: and I thought it was pretty cool with their building.

460
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: It's called Capsis KapS Ys, and they're making these smartphones

461
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: that have physical buttons. But they have two versions. One

462
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: is just a really nice, easy to use phone with

463
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: big physical buttons and also a screen, but it has

464
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: features that are meant for people that are low vision

465
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: or up to blind. So the whole thing is voice control.

466
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: You know, you can use your voice, you can read

467
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: things out to you. So that's a really nice phone.

468
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: And then they got one called the smart Vision three,

469
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: which is similar. It's got those nice big buttons, it's

470
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: got everything is voice control, but it also has Android

471
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: so you can install the applications that you want on there,

472
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: so and you also have Google Assistant, the play Store.

473
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: And again that's called Capsis kap s y s. That's

474
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: the company that's doing this, and so I would take

475
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: a look at that as well. In general. I'm not

476
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: saying that this is necessarily for Ron, but this is

477
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: for in general if you're looking for phones that are

478
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, more specialized than the ones

479
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: that you know they sell it at and T and

480
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: Verizon and T Mobile. The other one is called blind

481
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: Let's see, so blind Shell, blind Shell, and they make

482
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: phones that are very similar as well, like kind of

483
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: more special use case scenario. But the problem is their phones.

484
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: I guess the other capsis are too. They're a little pricey.

485
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at these blind Shell phones blind Shell Classic. Yeah,

486
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: these are Classic two is five and twenty nine pounds,

487
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: which I got to look. They're out of Europe, but

488
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: they do sell them here in the US. So pounds

489
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: to dollars. Wow, that's seven hundred dollars. That can't be right.

490
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: Seven hundred bucks. That's a lot. Let me see if

491
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: they sell these on Amazon. Let's go to Amazon and

492
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: see if they sell blind Shell.

493
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 5: Uh.

494
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, seven hundred dollars, five hundred to seven hundred, that's

495
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: that's a tough sell. I would I'd probably recommend going

496
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: with the Nokia twenty seven to eighty before that one

497
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. Much easier to do that, all right, eighty

498
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: eight rich one on one eighty eight seven four to two,

499
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Coming up, I will tell you

500
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: about this these Meta court cases that they lost. Plus

501
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: we have a new iOS version twenty six point four.

502
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: Plus we've got you on the phones, plus the website

503
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: rich on Tech dot tv. I'll link up everything I

504
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: just mentioned right there. My name is rich Dmiro. You

505
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich

506
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology.

507
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

508
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Two major verdicts

509
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: against Meta this week. Some experts are calling it the

510
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: big Tobacco moment for social media. These were two verdicts,

511
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: two different states, two days apart. First, New Mexico, a

512
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: jury there ordered Meta to pay three hundred and seventy

513
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: five million dollars, finding that the company violated state consumer

514
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: protection laws and misled the public about the safety of

515
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: Facebook and Instagram while child predators use the platform to

516
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: target kids. Then the next day, talk about a bad week.

517
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: The next day in La, a jury found Meta and

518
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: Google's YouTube negligent for designing their platforms to be addictive,

519
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: ordering them to pay a whopping six million dollars. I'm

520
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: kind of being facetious there. That's a drop in the

521
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: bucket for these companies to a now twenty year old

522
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: woman who said social media addiction contributed to her depression

523
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: and suicidal thoughts when she was a minor. Meta is

524
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: going to pay seventy percent of that. Google is going

525
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: to pay thirty percent of that. So these are pretty

526
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: historic in general because this is the first time we've

527
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: seen a huge settlement based on these factors for these

528
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: social media companies. So what does that mean in the future.

529
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: It means that there are now over two thousand cases

530
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: pending against social media companies, and you can bet that

531
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: the lawyers in those companies are going to be using

532
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: these as the example and the basis to get their

533
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: settlement or I guess their case settle. I don't know.

534
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: I mean, these companies are gonna want to settle these

535
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: out of court if they can. But does that mean

536
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: that they're going to do a class action suit because

537
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: they you know, there's so many settle there's so many

538
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: pending lawsuits out there. This gives a lot of those

539
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: cases some momentum. So the six million dollars, like I said,

540
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: not a lot of money, but it's still a big

541
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: This is this is just a huge shift in these

542
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: tech companies because before they were skating down the street,

543
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: no problem, right, just like teflon, we can do whatever

544
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: we want, nobody really cares. Every time these things pop up,

545
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: we sort of knock them back down, but not this time.

546
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: These cases give some precedent to all these other cases

547
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: out there, Like a lot of lawyers and experts are

548
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: saying all those cases against bag tobacco in the early

549
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties that force that industry to stop targeting miners

550
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: and to pay billions of dollars. Will social media be next?

551
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: This is so interesting because if you use these social

552
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: media apps, I feel like people fall into two buckets.

553
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 1: You could be unaffected by them, no problem. You can

554
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: go through your whole life and be just fine, or

555
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: you can seriously be impacted by them. Now, kids, I

556
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: think are different than adults because kids' brains are not

557
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: fully formed. Kids should be playing outside, kids should be

558
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: interacting with their friends, kids should be doing stuff that's

559
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: not just scrolling. The problem is these apps are one

560
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent design to keep people scrolling. Now, if you're

561
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: an adult, that's on you, right, Like you're up against

562
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: a tech company and I get it. It can be tough,

563
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of vices in adult life that

564
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: you have to understand moderation for right. With kids not

565
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: so much because they get these things, they turn them

566
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: on and next thing you know, they can't stop. So

567
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: are they designed to be unstoppable? That's what this jury found.

568
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: The protections thing is another part of it. But anyway,

569
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: we will see what happens here. This is definitely a

570
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: big moment for these companies, not in a good way.

571
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: They're definitely you know, of course, what did they say.

572
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: Let's see what Meta says is gonnappeel both verdicts. Of

573
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: course they are. Let's go to Spencer in Charlotte, North Carolina.

574
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: Spencer Line two. You're on with Rich.

575
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 6: How you doing Rich?

576
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing well.

577
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 6: I have an Intel in U see that I sort

578
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 6: of inherited, okay, and I didn't have the password for it.

579
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 6: I'm scratching the disk and loading it with Windows ten.

580
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: Okay, does a handle Windows eleven or no?

581
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 6: I don't know that yet. Okay, what I want to

582
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 6: do with this thing is the remote desktop to my

583
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 6: telescope setting out in the yard. It is going to

584
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 6: be running the camera and sending the photos back to

585
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 6: my desktop PIEC inside my house. I can run it

586
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 6: from there. I need something like this little nuke. But

587
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 6: I think I solved one of my problems. It says

588
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 6: cumulative update for Windows ten version seventy oh nine for

589
00:31:52,480 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 6: sixty four based systems. It's pausing on that, okay. And

590
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 6: I went to the website and it says that March

591
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 6: twelfth and April ninth, or the last two dates to

592
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 6: delta updates for Windows version ten seventy oh nine. That's

593
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 6: all well and good. I think I can wait till

594
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 6: April the ninth and load the.

595
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 7: Rest of those stuff.

596
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 6: But I also get this message that says your home

597
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 6: your Windows ten Home edition does not support remote desktop.

598
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 6: Is that true?

599
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. Let's see here, I'm looking it

600
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: up here. Windows ten Home does not support remote Okay,

601
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: so does not officially? Well are you saying you're trying

602
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: to use the built in remote desktop tool?

603
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 6: Yes? Okay, so I can connect to my computer inside

604
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 6: my house.

605
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So what I'm seeing here? Is it says that

606
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: does not officially support acting as a remote desktop host?

607
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: Are you trying to use this computer as a host

608
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: or are you trying to try to use it? Or

609
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: are you trying to use it to remote into another computer?

610
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 6: I want to use this as a remote from the

611
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 6: telescope to communicate with my desktop inside the house. So

612
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 6: the inside the house would be the host.

613
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: I guess, okay, so that would be the host. So

614
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like you can do that. How about

615
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: let's see if Windows eleven support let's see remote remote?

616
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Are you trying to do remote Let's see what you

617
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: say here remote desktop? I mean, what about third party

618
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: software can you use that? Does this telescope? Say what

619
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: software works with that?

620
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 6: Well? Problem being is you have to have a computer

621
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 6: sitting on the uh trop out of the telescope.

622
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: Oh okay, and you hook.

623
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 6: You hook the cameras into the little remote, and you

624
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 6: hook the drive unit into the little remote and you

625
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 6: run it all from the other computer.

626
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: Okay.

627
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 6: Now, Also Windows PC helped check up will not run

628
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 6: on this little nuke.

629
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: Hmmm, well, so where did you get the software that

630
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: you where'd you get the software.

631
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 6: Software it's got no drivers and I can't.

632
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, where'd you get the software to install this?

633
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 6: I have a a desktop that I am scratching and

634
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 6: selling for parts, and I have the Windows ten full

635
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 6: Home version that came with this machine, so you know this,

636
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 6: this machine is being scratched, so I'm sure I can

637
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 6: use this Windows ten discs to load this nooke.

638
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: Okay, but I I think you need the pro version

639
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: of this software for for what you're looking to do.

640
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure on that, but it

641
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: sounds like you need the pro version of this software

642
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: to be able to do what you're trying to do here.

643
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: So you may try to install Windows eleven Pro and see.

644
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: Because sometimes with these home editions, you know, there's just

645
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: certain features that the home users don't need, so maybe

646
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: you need like a pro edition to make this work. Otherwise,

647
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: I would look into the telescope and see what software

648
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: they recommend, if they could recommend anything besides the built

649
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: in remote desktop, and see if it. I mean, there's

650
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: so many other programs that work with remoting in any desk,

651
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: Team viewer, Rust desk, see if those work, and those

652
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: Rust desk in particular is open source, so that may

653
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: have the most compatibility for what you're trying to do.

654
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: Thanks for the question, appreciate it. Eighty eight rich one

676
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 8: Oh nice and calling regarding Danta transfer between PCs. Okay,

677
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 8: I have an older PC I'm looking to retire. It

678
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 8: has some of my primary software and applications and data

679
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 8: on it, and I'd like to move the whole thing

680
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 8: to a new computer. This one won't upgrade to what

681
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 8: eleven I guess is the and greatest. Yeah, are you

682
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 8: still there? Okay?

683
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 5: So I have a house home office and network in

684
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 5: the house, you know, on hardwire, and but the computers

685
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 5: are not it's not networked, they're individually feed. So I

686
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 5: came across this program that said Z install or PC

687
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 5: move where I can take the data that I have

688
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 5: on the older computer, move it to the new computer

689
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 5: in the other room, and still have all the software,

690
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 5: programs and data intact.

691
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: Is that like?

692
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 5: Is that like too good to be true?

693
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: Yes? It is. I wouldn't do it.

694
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 8: I've heard of this stuff called in install and PC move.

695
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, PC mover okay, So if you're going to

696
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: use one, PC mover is sort of like the best

697
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: and the most recognizable one out there. So if you're

698
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: going to try this, that's the one that I would try.

699
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not too familiar with that other one,

700
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 1: the install which okay, I'm just looking at the website.

701
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: I'd have to do some more investigation on it, but

702
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not too familiar with that version, so

703
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: I'd have to look into that, But I am familiar

704
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: with PC mover the what do you want to move over? Exactly?

705
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 8: Well, I want to move over like my quick books program,

706
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 8: maybe my older Outlook mail program. And I guess whatever,

707
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 8: you know dat I can. I guess it's about the

708
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 8: biggest one is so.

709
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the data, quick books. Okay, the QuickBooks thing. So

710
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing that you know. There's a tiny little

711
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: asterisk at the bottom of the you know, the website

712
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: for PC mover, and it says applications may require re

713
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: entry of a license code or reactivating on the new PC.

714
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: Certain system settings and applications may not be transferredue to

715
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: incompatibility with the operating system on the destination PC. So

716
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: to me, when you're you know, you're getting a brand

717
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: new computer, you're gonna inherit all the old issues and

718
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: problems that you had with your old computer. If you

719
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: move this stuff over, you're moving over like a lot

720
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: of stuff that you may not need, you may not want.

721
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: And to me, if you're going to start up with

722
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: a fresh new computer. Why not just start fresh now?

723
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: Quick Books, you would have to look into that and

724
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: see if that if the new version. I don't know

725
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: how you're paying for it, if you're paying for it

726
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: monthly or if you just paid for the application.

727
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,959
Speaker 8: Well yeah, see I've been using it for so long

728
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 8: that you know, I have my uh you know, I

729
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 8: have my license agreements intact, right, but it's all you know,

730
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 8: it's all uh uh debased on my PC. Okay, new

731
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 8: stuff is in the cloud, and really I don't try

732
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 8: right right.

733
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: And and I understand that, so you know, So basically

734
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: you'd have to see if you can download a new

735
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: version of that program if you don't have it, and

736
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: if it would work on there, because that would be

737
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, you can still just sign in with your

738
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: with your credentials or whatever. But I would Here's what

739
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: I would do. I would take stock of everything that

740
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: you have on this old computer, make a list of

741
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: all the programs that you have, and kind of investigate, like,

742
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: what do you really need on this new computer. If

743
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: it's just quick books, then find see go to QuickBooks,

744
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: see what the deal is with downloading the software for

745
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: Windows eleven and Also, you're gonna have to see if

746
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: your old program that you have, if you have a

747
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: disc or something like that, is going to work with

748
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: this new version of Windows. It may not, So I

749
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: would do that and just check that out and do

750
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: that for all your major programs. Most of the stuff

751
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: that you're doing nowadays is pretty much online. Most of

752
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: the stuff is built in. You mentioned Outlook. The version

753
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: of Outlook that you have on your old computer may

754
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: not work on Windows eleven. I know they just came

755
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: out a brand new version of Outlook, but then they

756
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: have a classic Outlook. So look into those things and

757
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: you probably could you know, either comes pre installed or

758
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: you maybe able to just install outlooks as well. So

759
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: if those are the only two programs, I would just

760
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: investigate them. But me personally, I don't like to drag

761
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: stuff over from an old computer. You're talking about a

762
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: computer that's had settings and things change over the years.

763
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: You've got a bunch of files on there in all

764
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: different places. What I would recommend is just now you

765
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: said you didn't like the cloud, so I would just

766
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: get a hard drive, get a flash drive, drag all

767
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: the app all the the files that you want to

768
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: move to your new computer onto that hard drive, set

769
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: up the new computer fresh, install the programs that you want,

770
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: and then take all the stuff from that hard drive

771
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: and drag it to the new computer. And that's what

772
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: I would do personally, And then that way, all the

773
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: new settings, all the things that you you know you

774
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 1: need to choose, are all going to be fresh, because

775
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: Windows eleven is a lot very different from what you're

776
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: using currently. If you want to use the PC mover,

777
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: sure you can try it, see if it works. I

778
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: can't guarantee it's going to work, but you know, I'd

779
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: love for you to report back, and if it does,

780
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, we can tell other folks. I think that

781
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: in general people do like that program. But I personally

782
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: am not a fan of moving things over from old

783
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: computers because I just don't think that most people need

784
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: to do that. So much of what we do is

785
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: in the cloud. I know you don't like the cloud,

786
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: but so much of what we can do we can

787
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 1: be downloaded and activated on a new computer. So unless

788
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: you're trying to run a super old program, which you

789
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: may be, that's probably not necessary for most people. Thanks

790
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: for the call, Marty, appreciate it. I hope the new

791
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: computer is amazing. Speaking of new, Apple just dropped new

792
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: version of iOS iOS twenty six point four. This is

793
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: what's funny about these updates on my phone, Like this

794
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: one said it was ten gigabytes. I'm like, wait, ten gigabytes.

795
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it just says like what. I'm

796
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: pretty sure my phone did not download a ten gigabyte update,

797
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: but that's what it said. It was it was like

798
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: nine point five to one or something. Anyway, you haven't

799
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: gotten this, you can go to Settings General Software Update.

800
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: This is not the big giant Siri overhaul that everyone's

801
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: waiting for, where Siri gets that Gemini integration that is

802
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: coming supposedly later this year. But there are some, you know,

803
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: some improvements here. So number one, it fixes an annoying

804
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 1: keyboard bug. So apparently when you typed really fast, there's

805
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of typos. I don't know. I type so fast,

806
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: I always have typos. I didn't realize that was a bug.

807
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was just part of the operating system.

808
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: But apparently they fix that. In families, if you're in

809
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: a family sharing group, adults no longer have to use

810
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: the same payment method. Everyone can now have their own

811
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: credit or debit card. That's a pretty big one. So

812
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: if your kids have like their own debit card, they

813
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: have an account, they can now be assigned. They can

814
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: put that on their Apple account instead of always charging yours.

815
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: This was kind of cool. Apple Music, if you use that,

816
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: now shows concerts from artists you listen to, and it

817
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: recommends new artists playing near you. So that's kind of cool.

818
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: That's kind of like that bands in Town program. Let's

819
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: see bands in Town. Yeah, so if you and and

820
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: Spotify does something similar to that, Let's see what else. Oh,

821
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: if you don't use Apple Music, you can you can

822
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: still use these ambient music widgets now you can add

823
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: them to your home screen. They have one for sleep, chill, productivity,

824
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: and well being, so you can add those even if

825
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: you don't use Apple Music. If you don't paying, you

826
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: can still add those. Podcasts. Now supports video for certain shows.

827
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 5: I don't know.

828
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: They mentioned a couple of shows. I don't know if

829
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: it's every show or just they're starting with a few,

830
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: and you can download them. Apple News Let's see recipes,

831
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: and Apple News Plus now have unit conversion, nutrition info,

832
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: and ratings. Local News is now available for all US users.

833
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: And F one fans can follow specific drivers and constructors

834
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: for breaking news. Translation and messages now supports seventeen languages.

835
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: Let's see what else. Oh, and if someone texts you

836
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: another language, it should show up translated automatically. I don't know,

837
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: because my wife tested this with me this morning. I

838
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: text her something in French or Swiss, I guess, and

839
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: she texted me back in Spanish. It did not auto translate,

840
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 1: so I gotta see. Maybe that's a toggle car play.

841
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: This is kind of cool now AI chatbots are a category,

842
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: so you can now chat with chat TBT, Gemini and

843
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: Claude using talk to text or I guess, just their voice,

844
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: but they have to update their apps before that happens.

845
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: Stolen device protection is now automatically turned on for everyone.

846
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: And there's eight new emojis that I still don't care about.

847
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: I am not an emoji person. I just don't care.

848
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: Apple has been making such a big deal about adding

849
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: emojis to iOS. I have never cared about one emoji.

850
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: The only emojis I've ever used in my life, I

851
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: will tell you, are the the laughing face one hundred

852
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: and the thank you that is it in the shrug

853
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: once what Tanner, my kid is here? What you have

854
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: an emoji that you like?

855
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

856
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: What emoji?

857
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 9: Uh?

858
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 10: I like using like the crying emoji.

859
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: It's like funny, like the laughing crying yeaheah, I use

860
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: that one this Yeah, just crying crying in general.

861
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 10: It's funny because it's like and I like using the

862
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 10: school emoji.

863
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 9: School.

864
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: I've also used this celebration emoji, I will admit, because

865
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,959
Speaker 1: you know, in people's birthdays anyway, all right, iOS twenty

866
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: six point four, go get it if you haven't gotten

867
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: it already. Eight to eight rich one on one eight

Speaker 1: The website for the show rich on Tech dot TV.

870
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: Coming up. Speaking of updates, Amazon fire tv just got

871
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: a big update. I'll explain what that's all about. Coming

872
00:46:53,640 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: up next. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro

873
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you, talking technology. Triple eight rich

874
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,920

875
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: four one zero one. The website for the show rich

876
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: on Tech dot TV. Wanna email, Just go there and

877
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: hit contact. That's what Tom did in Lake Forest. I

878
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: live in a eucalyptus forest, and I've had one bar

879
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: on my iPhone se with Verizon for eighteen years. I'm

880
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: looking into a signal booster. When I hear ads for

881
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: alternative carriers that use the same towers as the big guys,

882
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: I get suspicious because when I tried cock cell service

883
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: two years ago, the reception was actually worse. I went

884
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: back to Verizon. My concern is that those alternate services

885
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: may technically be on the same towers but transmitting at

886
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: lower power, which explains the worst reception. Is it likely

887
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: that alternate providers are transmitting with less power than the

888
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: major carriers. I don't think so, Tom, I think that

889
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: they are using this same signal, the same you know.

890
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: So basically in the US, we have AT and T,

891
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: we have Verizon, we have T Mobile to a lesser extent,

892
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: there's another network. Dish network is building. I'm not even

893
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: sure if that's up and running yet, but so just

894
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: we'll just say that there's three right now, the three

895
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: big ones. So the mv and os, these are mobile

896
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: virtual network operators. They these are the smaller carriers that

897
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: piggyback on the big networks. The thing that they do

898
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: is that they can deprioritize your not your signal, but

899
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: your data transmission, So that means that they might have

900
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: slower speeds and a bit worse performance when the network

901
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: is busy. So in a low signal area like this,

902
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: where you don't have a signal that's to begin with,

903
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: where it's a big signal, that deprioritization may feel bigger,

904
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: right because you're in an area that doesn't have a

905
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: lot of service to begin with. So that might have

906
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: been what you experienced. I don't know what. Let's see

907
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: what carrier does cos mv O run on? It uses? Oh,

908
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: it says it uses Verizon. Okay, so that's why you

909
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: were saying that with Verizon okay. Interesting. Well, I mean

910
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: if you want to try another mv and O, well,

911
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: number one, first off, I always recommend people use the

912
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: carrier that is strongest where they live and work. So

913
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: I would check with friends and family see if AT

914
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: and T or T Mobile is better where you are,

915
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: and if that's the case, then I would switch to that.

916
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: But otherwise I would say with your Verizon, if you

917
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: want an mv and O that's like the closest to

918
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,479
Speaker 1: standard Verizon, I would try Visible and see how that works,

919
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: and that would save you a lot of money. I

920
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: think it would be the same, I really do. If not,

921
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: definitely make sure you have your Wi Fi calling on

922
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: the signal booster thing. I mean, I don't know. I

923
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: just don't know if those things work very well. But

924
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: you can try it, I guess. Catherine in Silmar not

925
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,280
Speaker 1: too long ago, you were talking about disposable camera apps.

926
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: Which ones do you suggest? For both Android and Apple.

927
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: I have an event coming up and I would love

928
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: to use something like that, you know what, I think

929
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: I found something even better the app. I was talking

930
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: about what's called dispo DSPO, but that's not really what

931
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: you're trying to get after here. Since this is an event,

932
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: there is actually a way better option. It's called lens

933
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: l e n S lens dot app, and this has

934
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: made specifically lnsc dot app. This has made specifically for

935
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: events like weddings and parties and things like that. So

936
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: basically you sign up, no one has to even download anything.

937
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: They just scan a QR code and it turns their

938
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: phone into a disposable camera and all the pictures they

939
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: take go into a shared album automatically. You can limit

940
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: how many pictures each person gets, you can delay when

941
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: they can see these pictures. Just like a disposable camera,

942
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: but it's much easier because someone came up with this

943
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: just for what you're talking about. And it's such a

944
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: great idea, and this is so smart pricing that's the

945
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: best part. Up to seven guests totally free, don't even

946
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: have to pay. In fact, I might try this at

947
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: my next little gathering just to see how it works,

948
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: because I've not tested this, but I was doing some

949
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: some testing and you know, are some some research and

950
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: that's how I found this. So this up to seven guests,

951
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: up to twenty five captures per guest is completely free.

952
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: Unlimited is ten dollars, up to twenty five guests five dollars,

953
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: but they're still a limit on the captures, so it

954
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: just depends. Basically, they price on how many guests do

955
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: you have and if you want unlimited captures. But I

956
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: think this is incredible, what a smart idea. L e

957
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: n s Dot app Every wedding should use that really

958
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: really smart. Catherine writes in we have a dear friend

959
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: who needs captions for his phone. He has severe hearing loss,

960
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: no longer has a landline, he feels isolated. We just

961
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: want to help him stay connected. Is there a phone

962
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: that does captions. Great news Catherine, iPhone and Android have

963
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: live captions built right in, so two places. There are

964
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: a couple places to look actually, and I talked about

965
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: this in my newsletter today rich on tech dot tv

966
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: just hit newsletter and this is so great. Okay, So

967
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: captions On iPhone you can go to Settings Accessibility Live

968
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: Captions and basically it's gonna put captions on the screen.

969
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: Anything that's picked up by the microphone or playing through

970
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: an app, well you will see that live on the screen.

971
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: On Android, you can go to Settings Accessibility and then

972
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: Hearing Enhancements. Now there's two versions here. Live Transcribe shows

973
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: anything that's happening on the audio anything it Basically they

974
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: both just work a little bit differently, Live Transcribe and

975
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: then Live Caption. So Live caption generates captions for audio

976
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: on your device like YouTube. Live Transcribe well trans will

977
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: do captions for pretty much anything. So these are both

978
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: two great ways of showing captions on both iPhone or Android.

979
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: There's also an app called Into Caption, and this is

980
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: definitely designed for folks with hearing loss, and that will

981
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: do captions for phone calls as well. So Ino Caption

982
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: it's all all on the website. I'll link this up

983
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: rich on tech dot TV. But you don't even need

984
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: a special phone, really iPhone Android, they'll do it. Rich

985
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 1: on Tech dot TV. I will put the link there.

986
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: Check the newsletter coming up. We're gonna talk simple ways

987
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: to take back control of your screen time. That's coming

988
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: up right here on rich on Tech. I feel like

989
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm back in my sixth grade slow to ants here

990
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: with this song. What have it here? Welcome back to

991
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,

992
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: talking to technology triple eight rich one on one eight

993
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four two four one zero one, the

994
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: website rich on tech dot dv uh. We will get

995
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: back to the calls in just a moment. But first

996
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: we've got Olivia Yokobonus here from opol digital wellness creator

997
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: and UH works with this app called Opole, which can

998
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: help you reclaim your screen time. Olivia, thanks for being.

999
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 11: Here, Thank you so much for having me Rich.

1000
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: Well, thanks. We I mean obviously very appropriate this week

1001
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: because we had this big meta I guess I keep

1002
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: calling a settlement, but no, it was actually like a

1003
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: judgment against them for you know, millions of dollars two

1004
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: different states. One was dealing with the the child protections,

1005
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: the other was dealing with you know, addiction and screen time.

1006
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on that hav because you

1007
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: you work with an app that's like geared towards helping

1008
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,879
Speaker 1: you stay off your phone or you know, use these

1009
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: apps less. Yeah, are we up against more than we

1010
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: think here?

1011
00:54:59,239 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 3: You know?

1012
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 11: To me, it really reflects something that most of us

1013
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 11: have been feeling for a long time, and that these

1014
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 11: platforms are incredibly powerful and are incredibly hard to put down.

1015
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 11: And so I personally think that this is kind of

1016
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 11: big Texts Tobacco moment. I think we finally have this

1017
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 11: broad acknowledgment that the way that these products are designed

1018
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 11: can be addictive and can leave people feeling worse than

1019
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 11: they came and they're losing huge amounts of time, which

1020
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 11: is I think the most precious thing that we have

1021
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 11: in life. So I really, yeah, I think it is unprecedented,

1022
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 11: and I think it's super impactful, and I believe it's

1023
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 11: just the beginning.

1024
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like it is just the beginning. I

1025
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: was speaking to some seniors the other day who I

1026
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: don't think the senior citizens have as much trouble with

1027
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: the doom scrolling and stuff as maybe the younger people.

1028
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: But when I mentioned that there was apps and maybe

1029
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: you can tell me that, you know, keep us from

1030
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: being on these apps, they get kind of chuckled. But

1031
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: I said, this is where we're at in our world.

1032
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: Like we've used our phones, you know, because don't forget,

1033
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: the first like ten years of our phones was a

1034
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: honeymoon period, right, Like we just couldn't believe that these

1035
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: things were so amazing they did all this stuff. But

1036
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: now as we're getting you know, more settled in with them,

1037
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: we're like, hold on, I open up one notification on

1038
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: on my phone and next thing you know, I am

1039
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 1: running all over the place checking a thousand different things,

1040
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: scrolling forever and I can't stop. Is that kind of

1041
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: your experience?

1042
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 11: Oh? Yes, absolutely. And I look at it this way.

1043
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 11: These apps do not discriminate. They are not made for

1044
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 11: certain people, certain ages, certain demographics. They are made for

1045
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 11: anyone and everyone, And so that means anyone and everybody

1046
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 11: can get stuck and sucked into this endless scroll loop

1047
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 11: that we find ourselves in. And I look at it

1048
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 11: as a willpower thing. I think so many people try

1049
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 11: to push that it is okay, I'm going to today

1050
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 11: cut you know, cold turkey and no longer be scrolling.

1051
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 11: But it is not a willpower thing. There are We

1052
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 11: are one person with a finite amount of willpower, and

1053
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 11: these platforms have unlimited resources on the other side of

1054
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 11: that fight. And so these engineers who build these apps

1055
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 11: and with push notifications and the variable reward feeds, like that.

1056
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 10: Is the way.

1057
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Explain that variable reward feeds. What

1058
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: does that mean?

1059
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 11: Yes, okay, so every time you get a like or

1060
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 11: a comment, or even just like a new post, your

1061
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 11: brain releases this small hit of dopamine. And that's the

1062
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 11: same kind of thing behind the slot machine. So a

1063
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 11: variable reward is a slot machine. But now we have

1064
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 11: that slot machine in our pocket. So it's the hardest

1065
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 11: when that reward is uncertain, and that's when dopamine feels

1066
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 11: the best, because it's not actually people think that dopamine

1067
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 11: is the reward chemical. It's actually the thing that happens

1068
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 11: when we are anticipate a reward. So every time we

1069
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 11: see a like or a comment, or every time there's

1070
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 11: a new post or something interesting, that's when the dopamine

1071
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 11: hits because it's like, oh, oh my gosh, okay, I've

1072
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 11: been waiting for this and it actually happened. And so

1073
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 11: then that's how variable reward feeds work. And so the

1074
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 11: scroll never ends and your brain never actually gets that

1075
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 11: signal to stop. And that's why it can feel like

1076
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 11: we absolutely get out of control with it.

1077
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: Interesting. Now, you are a digital creator. You talk about

1078
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: wellness and all that stuff on you know, obviously good

1079
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: following on TikTok and Instagram. So how do you balance that?

1080
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, because you're talking about you're telling people like

1081
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: how to be off their phones more or whatever. So

1082
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: do you ever get like blowback to people say like, hey,

1083
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: wait a second, but I'm watching you and you're on

1084
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: your phone.

1085
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 11: Oh this is my favorite question. I get it all

1086
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 11: the time and I love it. And my answer is

1087
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 11: always the same, where else am I supposed to find you?

1088
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 11: I think the first time somebody his name was Kyle,

1089
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 11: and he's like, seriously, why are we posting? I'm like,

1090
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 11: where else where else am I supposed to find you? Kyle?

1091
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 11: I'll outside, Like, you're not outside, You're here on TikTok,

1092
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 11: And so I can either pretend that these platforms don't

1093
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 11: exist and speak to nobody about this issue. Or I

1094
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 11: can meet people where they are and try to help

1095
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 11: them use these tools a little bit more intentionally. And

1096
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 11: so that's, you know, my mission. Everything that I do

1097
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 11: at opel and with this content is about helping people

1098
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 11: build healthier relationships and actually reclaim that autonomy from the

1099
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 11: tech that they're already using. And you know, I'm not

1100
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 11: against technology. I love technology. I use it every day.

1101
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 11: I'm against us losing five hours, six hours, seven hours

1102
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 11: a day without even realizing it.

1103
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: Now, there's a lot of these tools and apps that

1104
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: kind of like help you reclaim your time. What makes

1105
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: Opal different unique? Like what sort of take do they

1106
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: have on this whole thing?

1107
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I love Starting with my own personal story,

1108
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 11: I've used Opal since twenty twenty four and before I

1109
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 11: even join the team, and I think for me, Opal

1110
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 11: is something that builds within your life. There's a real intentionality.

1111
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 11: I think there's a lot of screen time apps out there,

1112
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 11: and the difference between Opal and all of these other

1113
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 11: apps is the fact that it becomes your co pilot

1114
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 11: for your attention, and it becomes your copilot for your

1115
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 11: digital wellness and the desires that you have around that.

1116
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 11: And so for me, I have a session that runs

1117
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 11: automatically at night and at eleven PM, I literally cannot

1118
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 11: go on Instagram, even if I begg through the gods,

1119
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 11: And so I don't have to think about it or

1120
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 11: fight with myself every single time every night, and I

1121
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 11: actually get to start doing the things that I want

1122
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 11: to do and that I say I'm going to do.

1123
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 11: And so over time it starts to feel like these

1124
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 11: habits become more natural instead of it being something that

1125
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 11: we have to fight for. And so OPAL really fits

1126
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,439
Speaker 11: around your life and kind of fits into the weak

1127
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 11: spots and protects those weak spots instead of expecting you

1128
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 11: to have this perfect willpower twenty four to seven.

1129
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: The website is opleopa lapp dot com. Is that right?

1130
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Just making sure I get the right down here? Okay,

1131
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: So the website says focus is hard, so we've made

1132
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: it easier for everyone. So how is this different than

1133
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: just using screen time that's built into your phone.

1134
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 11: Well, so these most screen time apps are even the

1135
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 11: screen time within your phone. It just tells you how

1136
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 11: much time you've lost, or it'll nag you after the facts.

1137
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 11: And so ople is different because it really does set

1138
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 11: up around your life and those week spots, Like I

1139
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 11: was mentioning, and so I get to decide in advance

1140
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 11: when I want to access these certain apps, and I

1141
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 11: let ople hold that boundary for me instead of just

1142
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 11: I mean, I think we've all done it before where

1143
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 11: we see that screen time pop up and it's like okay,

1144
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 11: five more minutes or like you know, disabled until the

1145
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 11: end of the day. And with opel, you don't. You

1146
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 11: don't have those options of doing that, and it actually

1147
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 11: gives you. It reinforces that boundary and creates even more

1148
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 11: friction that makes it harder to get through and bypass.

1149
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: What do you think resonates with the posts? Like when

1150
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: you you know, you make these posts on social media?

1151
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: What resonates with your audience? Like what do you find

1152
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: when you post? You're like, okay this one, because like

1153
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: I know, I post a lot of stuff, but like

1154
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: for me, it's like always scams and like privacy, like

1155
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: people love that kind of stuff. Like when you're posting,

1156
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: what do you find hits more?

1157
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 11: Ooh, it's time. It's about time. It's about reclaiming their

1158
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 11: mind and their autonomy and spending more time doing the

1159
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 11: things that they love. I just recently was talking about

1160
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 11: this trend called the personal curriculum, and it's simply about

1161
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 11: learning something that interests you. It could be about like

1162
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 11: soup studies, it could be epidemiology, it could be anything

1163
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 11: but the but it's the fact that we haven't been

1164
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 11: putting time towards those kinds of things. And so I

1165
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 11: think that the message that I am seeing most in

1166
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 11: the comments and in my dms is about people saying

1167
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 11: thank you so much for first of all letting me

1168
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 11: know that I'm not crazy and that this is an

1169
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 11: issue that so many people are experiencing. And secondly, thank

1170
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 11: you for reminding me that I can do something about

1171
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 11: it and actually change and actually shift my mindset or

1172
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 11: perspective or create boundaries within my life that will make

1173
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 11: a difference. And so I mean, every day I have

1174
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 11: a whole entire folder of screenshots of my of comments

1175
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 11: and dms that I'm getting and it is the most

1176
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 11: fulfilling thing knowing that I am able to put my

1177
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 11: time and my energy into simplifying things for people and

1178
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 11: they're able to take it and actually run with it

1179
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 11: and see change in their own lives.

1180
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you forget how much time you're wasting when you're

1181
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: scrolling and instead of doing something that's either good for

1182
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: you or like you said, enriching to your life where

1183
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: you're learning something new. I mean, this is just little

1184
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: bits of time that we'll never get back. Olivia. We're

Speaker 8: What's up, Hi, Rich, I love your show, Thank you.

1205
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 12: My question is we recently published a mobile app for

1206
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 12: an astrology school that teaches international students hostfully through webinars,

1207
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 12: and in our app, we are hoping to find something

1208
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 12: that would gamify flash cards, remember the old fashioned flash

1209
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 12: cards you get the question to answer it right, and

1210
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 12: something similar to say goals that you set in exercise

1211
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 12: or weight loss apps, where there's an element where.

1212
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 9: You get a reward.

1213
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 12: It might be a burst of a fireworks or some

1214
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 12: points or something. We've asked our developer and they don't

1215
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 12: really have a solution for us to find something that

1216
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 12: would help us gamify flash cards.

1217
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: Why don't they have a solution? What I mean? Are

1218
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: you trying to do a physical reward like where they

1219
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: can get like points and redeem it for like a

1220
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: gift card or is this just a.

1221
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's something like that, but just that fun factor.

1222
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 9: Of like when you reach your.

1223
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: Like a burst, like yeah, like maybe something like fireworks

1224
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 1: on the screen or something, or you the XP they

1225
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: call it, you know, like some kind of like reward

1226
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. Well, I think you need a new developer

1227
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: because I got my eleven year old sitting here and

1228
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: he can create this app with AI today. No, I'm not.

1229
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean this is this is the new world we're in.

1230
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, Patricia. You can You could probably go

1231
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: on to AI today and make this app yourself with

1232
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: with just with just a question that you just asked me, said, Hey,

1233
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: I want a flashcards app that after you get ten

1234
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,919
Speaker 1: flash cards right, fireworks flashed on the screen, and after

1235
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: you get twenty right, the screen fills with gold to

1236
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: the top, and after you get thirty right, you know whatever.

1237
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: So this is the kind of stuff that you can

1238
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: do right now yourself. Now. So what I'm saying is,

1239
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: whoever you're using for this developer, they need to try harder,

1240
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: because that's just it's just not a good excuse that

1241
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: they can't do this. This is if you haven't just

1242
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: in general, if you're sitting here listening and you have

1243
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: not tried to code an app with AI, go home

1244
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: and do it. Or if you're already home, just do it.

1245
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: It is one of the most amazing things we can

1246
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: do right now with AI. Anyone can do it. If

1247
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: you go to Gemini, go to Gemini dot Google, dot

1248
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: com tapped the little plus sign and there's a thing

1249
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: called canvas. Okay, you tap that and you just say

1250
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: the exact thing you want, whatever kind of app. I've

1251
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: already built like three or four apps. They're incredible. They're

1252
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: literally things that I used to have to search for

1253
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: online pay for. Maybe they didn't do exactly what I wanted.

1254
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: They do exactly what I want. My kid same thing.

1255
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: He's been coding all kinds of apps, all these app

1256
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: ideas I've had over the years. He's just sitting there

1257
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: making them and we test them out. They work great,

1258
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: They're amazing. The thing I'm looking at right now, I've

1259
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: got a show timer for this show. I can tell

1260
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: I've got four minutes thirty four seconds left? Is that right, Bobo?

1261
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: He's right, He's he's nodding. My kid coded that app.

1262
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I've been doing this show for three

1263
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: years now. I had no way of timing things out

1264
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: except verbal. You know, Bobo and I would look at

1265
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: each other with those eyes. He stared deep into my eyes.

1266
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Bobo, is time up? Or what what's

1267
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: happening here? I'm so uncomfortable.

1268
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 13: I can't help but have hazel eyes.

1269
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: Okay, I know it's just you know, dreamy. So anyway,

1270
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: I went all these years and my kid is like,

1271
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: I could do that, took the timelog, all this stuff, heartbreaks,

1272
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: soft breaks is that and boom we've got We've got

1273
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: a little a little show timer. My point is, you

1274
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: can do this stuff. And the developer that's saying they

1275
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: can't do it, they can definitely do it. Maybe they're

1276
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: maybe the system they're using, maybe the way they originally

1277
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: coded app doesn't handle what you're talking about, because maybe

1278
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: they used something that was simpler. But this should be

1279
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: this should be possible. The other way to do this yourself.

1280
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying, Patricia, that you need to do

1281
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: this yourself, but I'm saying in general, I'm giving this

1282
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 1: advice because this is one of the things I am

1283
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: most excited about in my life right now, is how

1284
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: you can code apps when you have a little thing,

1285
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 1: you have a little issue at work, like you have

1286
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 1: something that you do on a daily basis that you

1287
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: need to do over and over. Like for me, I'm

1288
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 1: always resizing pictures and I'm adding the keywords to the

1289
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: file name, and I'm cropping them and I want to

1290
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 1: put a water mark that has my atriage on tech

1291
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: in the corner. That's something that would have taken forever

1292
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: to do. Every day, I made an app in five

1293
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: minutes that I have bookmarked here, and I can do

1294
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: that in less than a second. It's incredible. Claud Code

1295
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: is the other way to accomplish this, so Claude has

1296
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: their own coding chat GBT surprisingly not so good at

1297
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: this right now. I think there's ways of using it,

1298
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: but I don't. I'm not aware of them. So that's

1299
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: the other thing. I mean, there's other apps like Cursor

1300
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: and things like that, but those get much more complicated.

1301
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: But if you're just trying to start I would say

1302
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: the simplest way to do it, Gemini just does a

1303
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: great job. Go to Gemini dot Google dot com, tap

1304
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: canvas and whatever you're thinking of, go ahead and code it.

1305
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: It's it's quite incredible. Uh do we have time for

1306
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: line three? Virginia in New York, Virginia. You're on with

1307
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Rich Hi.

1308
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 2: Rich Hi. I just recently switched from a laptop to

1309
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 2: a small desktop and a new monitor. Okay, and of

1310
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,839
Speaker 2: course they don't have speakers anymore.

1311
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Oh well, some do.

1312
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 2: Other than buying speakers. Shouldn't I be able to use

1313
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 2: the earbugs?

1314
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should be. Okay, so you're you're hooking your

1315
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: laptop up to the external speaker.

1316
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 2: No, the stop is gone, Bye bye?

1317
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: Your computer.

1318
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 2: A new desk tap?

1319
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Oh it's a desktop. Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay,

1320
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: should you be able to use headphones? Well, number one,

1321
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it'd be kind of annoying to

1322
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: sit down to your computer every time and put headphones

1323
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: on just for audio. So I would just I would

1324
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: just go out and buy a pair of monitor of

1325
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: a pair of speakers for this, and.

1326
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 2: You know, call it get hooked in, all right, they

1327
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,879
Speaker 2: get hooked into the desktop or to the monitor.

1328
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: They will It depends on the setup. But you can

1329
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 1: look on the back of your monitor if you have

1330
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: a headphone, if you have a headphone jack on there,

1331
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: you can you know, it carries the audio through the cable.

1332
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: If not, just hook them into the back of the

1333
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:43,759
Speaker 1: computer or you know, and and simple go on Amazon.

1334
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: You could easily just look up you know, monitor speakers

1335
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 1: or whatever, and you should be able to find a

1336
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:49,719
Speaker 1: pair pretty quickly.

1337
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 6: There.

1338
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 1: Logitech obviously is you know, main brand there but yeah,

1339
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: I would just plug him in. Just look on the

1340
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: back of your monitor. If it doesn't have a plug

1341
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: to plug them in, then you just plug him in

1342
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: to the back of your computer. And I think that's easier.

1343
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,440
Speaker 1: Your computer may have Bluetooth and support, you know, Bluetooth

1344
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,839
Speaker 1: earbuds or whatever, but I think that's kind of annoying

1345
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 1: to sit down every time and do that. So I

1346
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: would just get a nice little pair of external speakers,

1347
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: plug them in. You'll be good to go, no problem. Yeah,

1348
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: it's it's uh my monitor has the speakers built in,

1349
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: but not all of them do. So that is something

1350
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 1: you find out when you set this kind of thing up.

1351
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one on one eighty eight seven four

1359
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: for the show rich on Tech dot TV. I put

1360
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 1: all the links there. This is episode one sixty seven.

1361
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: Before the break, we had. Let's see, we had Virginia

1362
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 1: in New York. She was looking for a she got

1363
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 1: a new monitor for her computer and there's no audio,

1364
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: and I said to pick up a pair of inexpensive

1365
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 1: computer speakers, and I ended up looking them up on

1366
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:20,799
Speaker 1: Amazon when I was in the break fourteen dollars Amazon

1367
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: basics fourteen bucks. I mean, you can't go wrong with that.

1368
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty cheap. All right, let's go to let's

1369
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:36,959
Speaker 1: go to line three. Rob and yorba Linda, Robbie There.

Speaker 6: Have for my mom.

1377
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 8: Somehow, she for unknown reason, has a lock on there

1378
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 8: that's like a pass code.

1379
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 9: Okay, she does not know the passcode?

1380
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,719
Speaker 5: Is there any way to do a hard factory reset?

1381
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 1: This? Had you? You know how many people tell me

1382
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 1: that I get so many emails to your mom. I

1383
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,559
Speaker 1: understand you're probably like, mom, had you forget your past code?

1384
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: But I get emails every single day from people who

1385
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 1: somehow forget their pastcode all the time. So this is

1386
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: not Rob. This is no indication of your mom whatsoever.

1387
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: This happens, and I don't know how it does, but

1388
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: it does. So you're going to lose all the data

1389
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,719
Speaker 1: on this phone if you can't remember this pass code.

1390
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 1: That's the problem is that.

1391
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 6: Okay I understood, Yeah, okay, all right?

1392
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: Is this a Samsung Pixel? What kind of phone is this?

1393
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 5: It's just something like it's just a regular Samsung.

1394
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 8: I don't know, okay, the model?

1395
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:44,679
Speaker 1: All right. So there is a feature on Android called

1396
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: recovery Mode, and once you it's kind of like have

1397
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 1: you ever booted up a computer and it's like he

1398
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: sees all that stuff on the screen, like the it

1399
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: just looks like plain texts and things, you know, the

1400
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: old days. That's what it boots this phone up into.

1401
01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: So you're not going to see like the fancy you know,

1402
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: op rating system is going to boot it into this

1403
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: special mode that's for diagnostics. Now on a Samsung, there

1404
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 1: may be different ways of accessing it, so you're gonna

1405
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: have to look up online to see. But typically you

1406
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,759
Speaker 1: turn off the device and then you hold the volume

1407
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: up plus the power button at the same time, like

1408
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: keep holding it until the Samsung logo appears, and then

1409
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: you can let go, and then once it goes through

1410
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,759
Speaker 1: its little startup procedure, instead of going into the operating system,

1411
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 1: it will go into this recovery mode and you'll see

1412
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: a little menu of things you can do. So it'll

1413
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 1: say like reboot system, reboot, reboot to bootloader, enter fast boot,

1414
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 1: apply update. The thing you're looking for is wipe data

1415
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 1: slash factory reset, and if you do that option, it

1416
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: will wipe the whole thing clean and it will get

1417
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,839
Speaker 1: it basically back to the factory, but you're gonna lose everything,

1418
01:15:55,120 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: just so you know. Still there, Okay, well I guess well,

1419
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 1: I guess Rob did the factory reset while we are

1420
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: talking anyway, so that's the deal with it. So once

1421
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 1: you do that factory reset, keep in mind the only

1422
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: tricky thing about this recovery mode is that the touchscreen

1423
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: does not work, So don't try to use the touch screen.

1424
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: It will not work. You have to use the up

1425
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: and down arrows on the side or the volume up

1426
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: and down as the arrows, and the power button is

1427
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 1: actually the select button, so that's the way to do it.

1428
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: And on iPhone, if you have an iPhone, you could

1429
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 1: do the same thing. There is a way to factory reset.

1430
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: They call it restore, but you have to use a computer,

1431
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:45,679
Speaker 1: so basically you can you can plug your phone into

1432
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: your computer and you will get a you can go

1433
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 1: through that. If you have the they call it iTunes anymore. No,

1434
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: they call it Apple Devices on PC and then find

1435
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: her on Mac and you plug it in and it

1436
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 1: says restore phone. You tap that and it will restore.

1437
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: If your device is like completely messed up, like there's

1438
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 1: a little sometimes it'll display like a little plug and

1439
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: like a question mark or something. You can plug that

1440
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: in and do the same thing. But basically, even if

1441
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: you forget the passcode on these things, you can get

1442
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: them back to like life, you just will lose all

1443
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: the data on there. And with the case of an iPhone,

1444
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: if that device is still linked to another account, Like

1445
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: let's say you find my phone and you like do

1446
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: this to it, it will still be linked to my

1447
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: account and you will not be able to use that phone.

1448
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 1: So that's why when thieves steal iPhones is not the

1449
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: best thing in the world because they're basically useless. And

1450
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: I think Android might be getting to that point too

1451
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: where they're doing something similar. But anyway, good call rob

1452
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: or good question, Rob, Thanks for the call there. Let's

1453
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: go to Pablo in Guardina. Pablo, you're on with Rich.

1454
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:57,799
Speaker 9: Right, thanks for taking my call. I've got a iPhone

1455
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 9: thirteen and it's it's stuck on the SOS mode. Okay,

1456
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 9: and I've you know, done all.

1457
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,640
Speaker 7: The prompts that you go online and you know, do

1458
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:11,919
Speaker 7: the airplane mode, shet it off and do a reset,

1459
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 7: reset networks, and it's still it's still stuck. I've even

1460
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 7: gone to the Apple store. They tried to switch me

1461
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 7: to an Yeah.

1462
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it sounds like a SIM issue. Okay.

1463
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, he tried to switch me to AIM and it

1464
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 9: wouldn't take it. And he tried to give me a

1465
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 9: new SIM card, so it gave me a new SIM

1466
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 9: card and he said it's not working. So it's probably

1467
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 9: the decide, That's what they told me. But I'm you know,

1468
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:40,919
Speaker 9: I'm I really don't want to spend money there.

1469
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: No get a new one. Okay. So what service are

1470
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: you on? What carrier it's at? And t okay? Are

1471
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: there any known like outages or issues in your areas?

1472
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: Anyone else have an att now?

1473
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 9: Yeah, everybody in that households no issues.

1474
01:18:57,680 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Okay, and the Wi Fi is working.

1475
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, WiFi is working, but I still can't make calls

1476
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 9: or send text.

1477
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because well that's see. Now that's interesting because

1478
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 1: now did you okay, so you did the network settings reset?

1479
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean you brought this to the Apple store some

1480
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: guessing they went through all the main things, right, the

1481
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 1: network settings reset? You did that?

1482
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:19,679
Speaker 14: Yeah, okay.

1483
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 1: Have you have you considered like erasing the phone and

1484
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: starting over.

1485
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:26,919
Speaker 6: No, I haven't done that.

1486
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: Because that's really your last option to see if it's

1487
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 1: truly a phone issue. Now, the other thing you could do.

1488
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 1: This is a little bit crazy and it's you know it,

1489
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: but you could do something like you can go to

1490
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: like Tello dot com and you can sign up for

1491
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: I know this is like it's kind of annoying, but

1492
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 1: like it might just be a way to just check

1493
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 1: one more time to see if it's an AT and

1494
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 1: T thing or if it's a you know, your phone thing.

1495
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: But you can go there and sign up for like

1496
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 1: their cheapest plan. Like maybe let's see, like I'm looking

1497
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: for this unlimited okay, no data, no minutes. Now you

1498
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 1: can't do that one, okay, So let's say you do

1499
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 1: no data and three hundred minutes is five dollars a month,

1500
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 1: So you could sign up for that and then cancel

1501
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 1: it right after and just try to download an eSIM

1502
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: from a different company and see if it's something that's

1503
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: about your phone or something that's with your AT and

1504
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:21,880
Speaker 1: T service. That's kind of annoying, but it's probably what

1505
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 1: I would do as a NERD, just just to like

1506
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: exhaust all my options. I'm just trying to see what

1507
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:29,600
Speaker 1: network does tell O run on?

1508
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 6: Another thing.

1509
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 9: I don't know if it makes any sense, but it

1510
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 9: doesn't show up on my phone either, like I can't

1511
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 9: like I have no phone number.

1512
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 1: It's oh okay. Well that definitely sounds like it's not

1513
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: provisioned properly. Then, so when what are you on the

1514
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 1: SIM or you on a regular SIM?

1515
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,759
Speaker 13: At this point, I'm I'm on a SIM, a regular SIM, okay.

1516
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 9: But even when I put the SIM back in, it

1517
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 9: doesn't it says no SIM.

1518
01:20:56,400 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so it may be okay, So okay. What

1519
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: I would do I would actually try what I mentioned.

1520
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: I would actually try the Tello thing. So Tello runs

1521
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: on T Mobile. It costs you five bucks, you sign

1522
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,639
Speaker 1: up in five minutes, you download the eSIM from them.

1523
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: If that doesn't activate, then you know it's a phone problem. Otherwise,

1524
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: with this SIM card, you might I can't say that

1525
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 1: this is a good thing to do, and I'm probably

1526
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: gonna get angry emails. I would probably take a little

1527
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: tiny bit of canned air and spray it inside the

1528
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 1: simcard slot. But I'm not sure that may be like

1529
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,120
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing you could ever do to a phone,

1530
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: because if there's a little piece of like dirt or

1531
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: like something in there, you might like lodge it in

1532
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 1: even further into like the depths of your phone. So

1533
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can recommend doing that, but

1534
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 1: I might carefully look inside that simcard slot and see

1535
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: if there's something that looks off. But if the eSIM

1536
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: did not work, that is a telltale sign that there's

1537
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,599
Speaker 1: something bigger going on here. I would try the Tello,

1538
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: download the eSIM, I would try re seating your SIM card,

1539
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: and then I would try a If that doesn't work,

1540
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 1: I might do a full factory reset of this phone

1541
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 1: and set it up and try to download the AT

1542
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: and t E SIM again, or see if your regular

1543
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: SIM card works. Those are the things I would do, Pablo,

1544
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: But If none of those work, it sounds like something

1545
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: might have burned out inside this phone and you might

1546
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: be on the hook for a new one. I would

1547
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 1: also press Apple to uh maybe go back to the

1548
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: store and say, hey, can you do some diagnostics on

1549
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 1: this or can you can you set me up with

1550
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: a refurbished model. You could take this as your you know,

1551
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: do some tests on it internally, and I'll take the

1552
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: free refurbished. Just a couple of thoughts for you there,

1553
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Eight eight eight rich one O

1554
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four two four one zero one.

1555
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: Coming up this hour, we're going to talk to a

1556
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: cyber security specialist who says if you turn off location

1557
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: services on your phone, that does not keep people from

1558
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: tracking you for companies. So he'll tell you about the

1559
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:02,559
Speaker 1: key privacy changes you should know about that's coming up

1560
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich

1561
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: on Tech. A couple weeks ago, we talked about this

1562
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 1: dark Sword. This is that iPhone hacking tool. Well, guess what,

1563
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: someone just posted it online for free and that is

1564
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: not good. That means any hacker can download and use it. Yes,

1565
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: already a hobbyist use this to hack an iPad Mini

1566
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: in minutes, and that means that this is a widespread issue.

1567
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: iPhone hacks used to be. It used to be that

1568
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: if you wanted a hack an iPhone, it was it

1569
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 1: was pretty involved. Now it's basically just a free download.

1570
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: So this dark sword can steal contacts, messages, call history,

1571
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: WiFi passwords, crypto wallets, and it sends it all to

1572
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: remote server in seconds, and then it just cleans up

1573
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: after itself. So you wouldn't even know this happened practically.

1574
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:02,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, the way this happens, you just

1575
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: visit a website, So if you visited an infected website,

1576
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: that's it. Now it's on your phone, and basically you'd

1577
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: have to use Safari, which is built into all the

1578
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: browsers on the iPhone, and if you are on an

1579
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: unpatched phone, that's it. Game over. Apple says that about

1580
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: I think it's about twenty percent of phones. Well, we

1581
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: don't know how many phones aren't updated. I mean, I've

1582
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: got some numbers here, says one in three iPhones. That

1583
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 1: seems a little unrealistic, but maybe. I mean, there are

1584
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 1: there are hundreds of millions of devices out there that

1585
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: could potentially be sitting there exposed. So what do you

1586
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 1: need to know? The good news is that Apple has

1587
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: already patched this, So you need to update your iPhone

1588
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 1: to keep away from this because it seems like it's

1589
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: going to be more prevalent. So make sure you have

1590
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: the latest iOS update for your operating system. So if

1591
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: you're still on eighteen, which you can still stay on

1592
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,719
Speaker 1: for a while, it's I believe eighteen point seven point

1593
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: six or iOS twenty six point three point one or newer.

1594
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 1: So if you're on basically if you just update your phone,

1595
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to jump to the new iOS. Like

1596
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 1: if you're still holding off for iOS twenty six, you

1597
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: don't want that on your phone. You can still use

1598
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 1: iOS eighteen. You just have to make sure you do

1599
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: the critical security update there. And remember I told you

1600
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: about this little hidden security update, this background Let's see,

1601
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 1: what's it called background security update? Let me see. I

1602
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: posted it to my Instagram. This was the first time

1603
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: that Apple ever did this. If you go to Settings,

1604
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 1: Privacy and Security, Background Security Improvements, this is what I

1605
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 1: call a hidden iPhone update that also helps with this.

1606
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: So that's what you need to do. Update your phone

1607
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: right now. Stay safe, from the Dark Sword. Amazon just

1608
01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: gave fire TV a big makeover. I don't know if

1609
01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: mine's getting this, because I've been waiting for this patient

1610
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's it's coming out to mind.

1611
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: I think it's only the fire TV sticks right now,

1612
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: which is kind of a bummer. So I have the Cube,

1613
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: but this is our first major overhaul since twenty twenty.

1614
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: I did see it at CS and you know, it's

1615
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: just obviously looks cleaner, new fonts. But the bigger deal

1616
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: is really what they did to the code. They made

1617
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: the underlying code run faster, so it's much more efficient

1618
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: to your your standard. Your fire TV stick that you

1619
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 1: already have is going to run up to thirty percent

1620
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,680
Speaker 1: faster than before. That's going to be exciting for a

1621
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of people. But what you're going to notice when

1622
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: you first log on is you can now pin up

1623
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 1: to twenty apps on your home screen, which is up

1624
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 1: from just six. So if you have a bunch of

1625
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 1: different streaming services, that's kind of a big deal because

1626
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: like on mine, if I want to get to some

1627
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:48,680
Speaker 1: of the other streaming services I have, I have to

1628
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: like go into the app's menu, so to see them

1629
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:55,639
Speaker 1: all in a line that'll be great. Amazon says people

1630
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: in the US now spend twelve minutes on average searching

1631
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 1: for something to watch, up from ten point five minutes

1632
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty three. The point of the redesign is

1633
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 1: to cut that time down. Alexa obviously got a little

1634
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: infusion of AI, so you can now ask things like

1635
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,280
Speaker 1: find me a thriller with a surprising twist ending, and

1636
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 1: it searches across all your subscriptions, and you can ask

1637
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 1: it to jump straight to a specific scene in a movie.

1638
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 1: But I think that's only on supported services anyway. It's

1639
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 1: rolling out right now to the Firestick four K plus,

1640
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: the fire Stick four K Max Second Gen and some TVs,

1641
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: and it is free. But yeah, if you want to check,

1642
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 1: you can go into your Amazon fireTV stick settings and

1643
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: check for an update. I know I've been doing it

1644
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: like every second, like literally every second, trying to find

1645
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: an update. Let's see. Russell in the Tri Cities listening

1646
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: on super Talk ninety two nine says, Hey, Rich, I

1647
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: have a kindle that's really slow. Do you have any

1648
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:59,560
Speaker 1: suggestions on how to speed it up? Ps? I'm a

1649
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 1: nine year old kid who listens to your show. Oh,

1650
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: that's cool, Hey, Russell, shout out. First things first, just

1651
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 1: restart this kindle. Hold down the power button. You have

1652
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 1: to hold it down forever. On the Kindle. It takes forever.

1653
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: Kindle never shuts down because it's like it uses so

1654
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:17,640
Speaker 1: little power, like just basically always stays on. You have

1655
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 1: to hold down that power button for a very long

1656
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 1: time until it finally you'll know when it shuts down,

1657
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: but it'll finally shut down. Do that number one. Number two,

1658
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 1: make sure you do all these software updates connected to

1659
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 1: Wi Fi. Go into your settings, do all the software

1660
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 1: updates on the kindle. If that doesn't work, you might

1661
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: want to try to delete some books or files that

1662
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 1: you have on there to free up space. You can

1663
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 1: go into your settings and see how much space is

1664
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,719
Speaker 1: taken up on this kindle. If it's almost that the max,

1665
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: that could be causing it to slow down as well. Thanks, Russell.

1666
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: Midge writes in, hey, Rich, I turned on lockdown mode

1667
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 1: on my iPhone after you talked about it last week.

1668
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 1: It warned me it might interfere at some of my apps,

1669
01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: and sure enough, Words with Friends stop working. I went

1670
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,599
Speaker 1: back and turned lockdown mode off, but that turned it off.

1671
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 1: For everything. How do I turn it off for just

1672
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 1: one app without disabling the whole thing? Yes, lockdown mode, Midge,

1673
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: unless you are I don't know if you need this

1674
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,719
Speaker 1: turnt on your phone. This is for like super duper

1675
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,680
Speaker 1: like you know, if you're a CEO or like a

1676
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what you do, but like

1677
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: this is lockdown mode is really a highly secure way

1678
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: of operating your iPhone. Usually journalists would want it heads

1679
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:29,519
Speaker 1: of state. You know someone who is at risk of

1680
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 1: being hacked because of their position in life anyway. But

1681
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 1: if you want to keep it on, you can allow

1682
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,639
Speaker 1: exceptions for specific apps. Go to Settings, Privacy and Security

1683
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,520
Speaker 1: lockdown mode, and there is a way to add individual

1684
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 1: apps to an exceptions list. And you can add your

1685
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:50,320
Speaker 1: words with friends right there and still stay protected. Let's

1686
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 1: see here Bob and Charlotte listening on WBTFM. I catch

1687
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 1: you every Saturday and on wbt Quick question. When I

1688
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 1: click email link on a website, it doesn't open Gmail

1689
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 1: tries to launch a different mail app. How do I

1690
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 1: make those apps open Gmail automatically? Go to Gmail dot

1691
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:11,719
Speaker 1: com and your browser. Right in your URL, you'll see

1692
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:15,800
Speaker 1: a little settings icon. Tap that where it says, settings

1693
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 1: says opening supported links you want to choose, open in Gmail,

1694
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 1: Opening supported links, Open in Gmail. I'll put the instructions

1695
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: on the website. Rich on tech dot tv website for

1696
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 1: the show rich on tech dot tv. Rich on tech

1697
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: dot TV. All right, let's go to line three. Steve, Steve,

1698
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:48,120
Speaker 1: where are you calling in from today?

1699
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 14: Hi, Rich Steve. I'm calling from plus Centcha, California and Orangetowny.

1700
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 1: Nice. Welcome to the show.

1701
01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:57,600
Speaker 14: Thank you.

1702
01:30:58,600 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 1: What's going on?

1703
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1704
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 14: My question is for my work PC, a Windows based PC.

1705
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 14: Every morning I have to log into about six or

1706
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 14: seven different apps and it gets annoying because I have

1707
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:14,600
Speaker 14: to be each one individually. Is there any kind of

1708
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,719
Speaker 14: a macro and that you're aware of that will open

1709
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 14: them up for me as soon as I log into

1710
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:24,599
Speaker 14: my PC and you know, enters my credentials automatically also

1711
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 14: to save me a few minutes every day.

1712
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: Well, I mean there's a couple of ways you can

1713
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,880
Speaker 1: do this, So, I mean there's there's actually a lot

1714
01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 1: of ways you can do this. So first off, you

1715
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 1: can have the apps open up when you turn on

1716
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 1: your computer by putting them in your startup. So if

1717
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: you go into Windows, type in that little search box

1718
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,080
Speaker 1: down to the bottom startup, and you can put in

1719
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 1: the apps that you want to start up there. So

1720
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 1: that is one way of doing it. So that way,

1721
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:59,599
Speaker 1: if the app is in there, okay, so there's okay,

1722
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:01,559
Speaker 1: there's a Well, you have to number one, you have

1723
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 1: to get the apps. You have to get the apps

1724
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 1: in there to begin with. So if an app gives

1725
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 1: you an option of doing that, you can do that.

1726
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:10,720
Speaker 1: So I will link up the way to configure this

1727
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: in Windows. But that will get the apps to actually

1728
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 1: open up when you turn on your PC. So that's

1729
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 1: number one. So they will just start up some apps

1730
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:20,680
Speaker 1: to try to insert themselves. You notice this because you

1731
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 1: turn on your computer and a bunch of apps pop

1732
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:24,240
Speaker 1: up open You're like, oh, I don't need that app

1733
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:28,000
Speaker 1: right now. Some of them automatically add themselves to this

1734
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 1: startup list. Some you'll have to add manually, but you

1735
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: can do that and that will at least open up

1736
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:35,680
Speaker 1: the apps and that will get you started so that

1737
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:38,200
Speaker 1: these six or seven apps are ready to go. When

1738
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 1: it comes to putting your credentials in, I would recommend

1739
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 1: just getting a password manager and doing it that way. Now,

1740
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:48,600
Speaker 1: if these are apps that are an application, it's not

1741
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,679
Speaker 1: a web based application. Your password manager may not auto

1742
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:53,800
Speaker 1: fill those. It just depends on the setup with your

1743
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 1: computer and how that password manager works. But in general,

1744
01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 1: you can copy and paste that password pretty quickly, and

1745
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:02,920
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be necessarily an automated thing, depending on

1746
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 1: how the app is and how it's recognized. But some

1747
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 1: of these password applications, some of these password managers will

1748
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 1: have kind of an app for your whole computer. You

1749
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 1: can see if that works for logging into some of these,

1750
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 1: but I would think that probably won't work with a

1751
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:20,320
Speaker 1: lot of these applications just because of security reasons. But

1752
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, you can see. So that's number two. Number

1753
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 1: three is you can completely automate this with and I

1754
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:30,280
Speaker 1: don't know if this is possible, but you might be

1755
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 1: able to do this with something like an open claw

1756
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 1: or a claud You know, Claude just did this thing

1757
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:40,559
Speaker 1: called cowork, which can basically like control your computer, like

1758
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 1: your whole computer, And so you could probably set up

1759
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 1: a way where this, you know, this AI agent sees

1760
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:49,880
Speaker 1: these apps and logs in for you in the morning

1761
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:51,600
Speaker 1: while you go grab a cup of coffee. But I

1762
01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 1: don't know that seems like a little bit far fetched.

1763
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's even something you'd want to do

1764
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 1: because that seems like a privacy nightmare or you know,

1765
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:04,719
Speaker 1: security nightmare as well. But that Steve, I feel your pain.

1766
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:06,640
Speaker 1: I've got the same thing. When I get to my

1767
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,559
Speaker 1: TV job. I'm logging into a whole bunch of things

1768
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:14,639
Speaker 1: every single morning, and there's not really a simple way

1769
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 1: to do that because a lot of this is for

1770
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,799
Speaker 1: security reasons. Right now, if you're just doing web apps,

1771
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 1: sure that's much easier. But when you're talking physical applications

1772
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:26,599
Speaker 1: that are standalone on your computer, it gets a little

1773
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:30,240
Speaker 1: trickier to log into those using automated systems, and that's

1774
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:34,600
Speaker 1: probably for a reason. So yeah, but having them at

1775
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:37,559
Speaker 1: least startup with your computer is probably the easiest part.

1776
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:40,800
Speaker 1: So hopefully that helps. Thanks for the call today, Do

1777
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Rich on tech dot tv is the website.

1778
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:47,280
Speaker 1: Let's see here. I've got a couple of things that

1779
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 1: I did want to mention. This is Flighty. Have you

1780
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 1: heard of Flighty? This is a flight tracking app that

1781
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 1: is pretty much the best out there. It's known for

1782
01:34:57,240 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 1: sending delays before the airlines even due and now they

1783
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:03,760
Speaker 1: we have a new update called Airport Intelligence. So you

1784
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: know we've been hearing about all these delays at airports

1785
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:10,680
Speaker 1: and things like that. Well, Flighty now has a dedicated

1786
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 1: website at flighty dot com slash airports, and you can

1787
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 1: see what the departure delays are at the various airports

1788
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:20,920
Speaker 1: around the world. And so I can see right now

1789
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: Cancun has a fifty minute departure delay, fifty four minutes

1790
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:28,599
Speaker 1: arrival delay, and it's got forty one percent of flights

1791
01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 1: arriving on time and thirty two percent are departing on time,

1792
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 1: thirty two percent arriving. So anyway, that's that's what their

1793
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 1: big update is. And basically they are explaining that because

1794
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, these airports have a whole bunch of data

1795
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,719
Speaker 1: that they use to figure out like a thing's running properly.

1796
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 1: Now they're taking in all that data and making it

1797
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,160
Speaker 1: in plain English so we can understand it. And so

1798
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 1: this works for fourteen thousand airports worldwide. It'll tell you

1799
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 1: if you know what the specifics are, like if it's

1800
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 1: ground delay, de icing, low visibility, hail, lightning, staffing issues,

1801
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:07,679
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it will put that in the alerts area.

1802
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: So you can see exactly what's happening. So like, for instance,

1803
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,160
Speaker 1: I can tell LaGuardia has a ground delay. We know

1804
01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:18,759
Speaker 1: why San Diego high cancelations, not sure why Saint Louis

1805
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 1: flights diverted strong winds at JFK. So you can see

1806
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: all this information. This is kind of like for flight nerds,

1807
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 1: but it's also helpful if you're flying that day. So

1808
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 1: that's one website. Then there's this other website. We've been

1809
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:34,960
Speaker 1: hearing about all these delays with TSA. Well, there's a

1810
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 1: website called terminalwatch dot info and right at the top

1811
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 1: it says this is very much a beta site. But

1812
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:45,760
Speaker 1: basically what this developer did is he's crowdsourcing TSA wait

1813
01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 1: times that he finds online on social media, so on

1814
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 1: Blue Sky and Twitter, so a lot of these a

1815
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 1: lot of people will tweet about their security issues or

1816
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 1: how long they've been waiting. But also a lot of

1817
01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:59,840
Speaker 1: airports will automate that as well. But if you're not

1818
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you're not on Blue Sky, you're probably not

1819
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 1: going to see those. So it picks up all those

1820
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:07,719
Speaker 1: reports and then it synthesizes them and makes them easy

1821
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:11,760
Speaker 1: to understand. So for instance, let's look at Orlando right now.

1822
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: It says TSA wait times that MCO today have been mixed.

1823
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 1: Most recently, a traveler reported a forty five minute wait

1824
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:21,880
Speaker 1: time in the security line. Earlier, however, reports were much

1825
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:24,520
Speaker 1: more favorable. Pre check had no weight at six am,

1826
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:28,160
Speaker 1: and at four am pre check moved in just twelve minutes,

1827
01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:31,240
Speaker 1: with standard screening also looking reasonable. So it's just kind

1828
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:33,719
Speaker 1: of a good way because there's so many news reports

1829
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,719
Speaker 1: that are saying, oh my gosh, the world is ending,

1830
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, the TSA, oh my gosh, and then people

1831
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 1: other people report like, oh no, it's fine, there's no

1832
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 1: wait whatsoever. So it seems pretty random. But I like

1833
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 1: this idea because you can get I like this website

1834
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:50,680
Speaker 1: because you can get an idea of what people are

1835
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:52,599
Speaker 1: saying there. And if a lot of people are saying

1836
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 1: it's a nightmare, then okay, maybe take some extra time.

1837
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:57,599
Speaker 1: If everyone's saying, oh no, it's fine, no big deal,

1838
01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:00,320
Speaker 1: then okay, you can not maybe take all your time.

1839
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:06,719
Speaker 1: So that's terminalwatch dot info And I thought this was interesting.

1840
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:11,800
Speaker 1: Nintendo Switch two games are about to cost more if

1841
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:14,519
Speaker 1: you want the physical copy. Now, this makes a lot

1842
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:18,480
Speaker 1: of sense. Right, I'm surprised it took this long. But basically,

1843
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:22,839
Speaker 1: starting May twenty twenty six, that's that's in two months.

1844
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:26,760
Speaker 1: Physical switch to game cartridges are gonna cost more than

1845
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:29,800
Speaker 1: the digital version, so depends on how you buy it.

1846
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:31,680
Speaker 1: So this upcoming game that's gonna be the first to

1847
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 1: take advantage of this, the yash Yashi Yoshi and the

1848
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 1: Mysterious Book, that's gonna be sixty dollars if you download

1849
01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: it digitally, but seventy if you want the physical cartridge.

1850
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 1: So ten dollars if you want the actual game cartridge,

1851
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,720
Speaker 1: and that makes sense. Nintendo says physical games cost more

1852
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 1: to ship and make, and Boa doesn't like this. I mean,

1853
01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 1: I actually, you know what, here's the thing. So people

1854
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:02,639
Speaker 1: that like like physical like game collectors who like owning

1855
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 1: physical copies, that is who this is gonna affect most.

1856
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:06,960
Speaker 5: What you do.

1857
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: You get the physical copies, always the.

1858
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 13: A physical copy get you save more memory on your system.

1859
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:13,639
Speaker 1: YEA true.

1860
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 13: When you download the game straight up, it takes more memory.

1861
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1862
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:20,479
Speaker 13: So now this what would have been let's say four

1863
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,679
Speaker 13: gigs of a game is now going to be seven

1864
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 13: or eight gigs of a game taking.

1865
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: Up my memory.

1866
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 13: So I can only hold so many, so now I

1867
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 13: have to buy data. It's it's always something that they're

1868
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 13: trying to add prices on and this is just another

1869
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:33,840
Speaker 13: another one.

1870
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so this is interesting because I know these

1871
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:37,559
Speaker 1: games are expensive, and I'm not sure how much they

1872
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 1: typically are, but like this is saying the physical is seventy,

1873
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 1: which I think I remember hearing Nintendo was raising prices

1874
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: on the physical, but the digital is sixty. So I

1875
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 1: think they're saying like, oh no, we're just making the physical.

1876
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, The point is what this is

1877
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna do.

1878
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 13: This is gonna put game Stop a lot of video

1879
01:39:56,439 --> 01:40:00,280
Speaker 13: game retailers out of business because people now they don't

1880
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 13: really go into game stop anymore. You just downloaded right there.

1881
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 1: And now you're saying like, oh, hold on, now there's

1882
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 1: a price difference. Yeah, like it used to be. If

1883
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:10,600
Speaker 1: I was if I had my choice and I was

1884
01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:12,960
Speaker 1: like getting games, I'd probably want to go with the

1885
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 1: physical because I can keep it, I can resell it,

1886
01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:16,600
Speaker 1: I can you you.

1887
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:17,960
Speaker 13: Can take it to your friends and play it at

1888
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:20,960
Speaker 13: your friends. Like now, when you downloaded, you've downloaded to

1889
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,639
Speaker 13: one console right they the downloads I can just before

1890
01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 13: I can just take it to your house, and I

1891
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 13: mean true enough, I can just sign my account into yours.

1892
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 13: Is a pain not have to wait longer for is

1893
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 13: long download? Yeah, that just annoyed me for the day.

Speaker 1: lady on your show whose computer shuts down after five minutes.

1903
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 1: That sounds like a thermal shutdown to me after eight years.

1904
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:20,719
Speaker 1: Her fans are probably clogged with dust, pet fur, kitty, litter, cigarette, smoke,

1905
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 1: you name it. I look at the CPU fan and

1906
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:27,719
Speaker 1: power supply fan first. A great free program to check

1907
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 1: is h win FO six y four shows you the

1908
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:34,240

1909
01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 1: see if something is running dangerously hot. It won't show

1910
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:39,840

01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 10: is very informative and covers a great variety of subjects.

1921
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 10: It is a beautiful Saturday morning here in Cinitas, with

1922
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:19,840

Speaker 10: Reading your newsletter makes it for a perfect start today.

1924

1925
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:28,160
Speaker 1: was her name?

01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:30,120
Speaker 10: Candace?

1927
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:34,000
Speaker 1: Thank you? Candace. Kathy writes in Hey, Rich, I'm the

1928
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 1: one who called about playing CDs in my tesla. Here's

1929
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:39,560
Speaker 1: the update. I tried that portable CD player you suggested,

1930
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:42,679
Speaker 1: but only really worked with headphones or a week FM connection.

1931
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 1: Not great for driving, but I figured it out. I

1932
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:47,840
Speaker 1: returned that and I bought an old school boom box

1933
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 1: that plays CDs AMFM radio and even cassette tapes. I

1934
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 1: just listened through the built in speaker. No car connection

1935
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 1: at all.

1936
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 9: Wow.

1937
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,400
Speaker 1: It's a little bulky and it runs on six sea batteries.

1938
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:01,200
Speaker 1: But I love it. Now I can listen to my

1939
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 1: CDs and even old radio shows I record in the

1940
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties. This is a woman, Kathy, You're driving

1941
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:10,240
Speaker 1: around in a Tesla with a boombox. I love it.

1942
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: I actually need you to send me a picture of

1943
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:13,559
Speaker 1: that tanner.

1944
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 10: All right. Maggie from North Carolina, thank you, thank you,

1945
01:43:18,840 --> 01:43:22,800
Speaker 10: thank you for the article on Amazon unsponsor. It is

1946
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 10: so helpful. All the sponsored and extraneous stuff Amazon ads

1947
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,559
Speaker 10: to searches is incredibly annoying. I have no idea if

1948
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 10: I said that word extraneous.

1949
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:33,599
Speaker 11: Correct.

1950
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: Yes, you did, good job, Thank you. Yes. Amazon on

1951
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:42,160
Speaker 1: sponsor is a extension for Chrome that basically gets rid

1952
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:45,400
Speaker 1: of all these sponsored products at the top of your search.

1953
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:47,640
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it, Love it. Love it.

1954
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: Day from Eastern Washington. Hey, Rich, great show. I listened

1955
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:54,519
Speaker 1: to the podcast you were talking about checking in at

1956
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 1: purchases on the app Store. I've been doing that for

1957
01:43:57,120 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 1: a long time, but I've noticed something interesting sometimes in

1958
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:01,760
Speaker 1: app will say it has in app purchases, but it

1959
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 1: turned out to be something like buy me a coffee donation.

1960
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 1: It's rare, but I've seen it. So even after you

1961
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 1: narrow down your app choices, it is worth taking a

1962
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:10,519
Speaker 1: closer look. You might get lucky and avoid paying for

1963
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,839
Speaker 1: something you don't need. All right, Dave, good tip Tanner.

1964
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 10: All right, Wash from Richmond, Virginia. Rich just wanted to

1965
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:21,599
Speaker 10: give you a heads up. Your show is now on

1966
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:28,719
Speaker 10: WRVA here in Richmond, Virginia, airing around five pm. Congratulations, yay,

1967
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 10: that's exciting.

1968
01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 1: I love it. Hello West Virginia. Jim writes in hey Rich,

1969
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:39,440
Speaker 1: I've run into the x zero x eight hundred CCC

1970
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: zero e error on a couple of PCs using an

1971
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,559
Speaker 1: old Outlook client with Gmail. It seems tied to Google

1972
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 1: moving away from basic username and password logins to more

1973
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:51,640
Speaker 1: secure Ooth sign ins. The fix that worked for me

1974
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:55,040
Speaker 1: was resetting the stored credentials. Close Outlook, go into Windows

1975
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:58,559
Speaker 1: Credential Manager, find any entries related to Google imapp, delete them,

1976
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:01,679
Speaker 1: then reopen Outlook. It should prompt a fresh Google sign

1977
01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:04,599
Speaker 1: and pop up and reconnect properly. Well, thank you, Jim.

1978
01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 1: That's good if anyone's trying to figure out what's going

1979
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 1: on there.

1980
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 10: All right, Janet, thanks so much. You've put my mind

1981
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:15,600
Speaker 10: at ease. I read your newsletter every week. It's very informative,

1982
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:17,120
Speaker 10: and I've told my friends about it.

1983
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, Oh that's good enough, Thank you, Janet.

1984
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:25,720
Speaker 1: I like that. Danielle in North Idaho. Hey, Rich, A

1985
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: while back, I reached out about my older Sony Bravia

1986
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 1: running slow. You suggested a firestick, so I went for it,

1987
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 1: and it's working beautifully. But I didn't stop there. I

1988
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 1: also picked up an Alexa Echo Show eleven and some

1989
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 1: echo speakers. I feel like I finally joined the current century.

1990
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:43,439
Speaker 1: I read your notes and even went with Alexa's new

1991
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 1: sassy voice. I live alone, so it's been a lot

1992
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,519
Speaker 1: of fun. I can't thank you enough. Oh, thank you.

1993
01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: Oh I read that. That was a kind word. Sorry,

1994
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:51,160
Speaker 1: tan that was for you.

1995
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 10: Go ahead, Tanner, Tim Rich Godfather Too is absolutely the

1996
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 10: best of the three. Once you watch it, you'll see why.

1997
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: Oh we're talking about Godfather A couple I think last week.

1998
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:04,799
Speaker 10: Yeah, Am I gonna say this correctly?

1999
01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 1: Copola Coppola, Coppola Coppola.

2000
01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:11,400
Speaker 10: Oh, Copla, Yeah, Okay, Copla had a bigger budget, a

2001
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:14,960
Speaker 10: more compelling storyline, and the whole concept just works on

2002
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 10: another level. It's one of my all time top five films.

2003
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 10: If you have time, rewatched part one first, since part

2004
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 10: two has a lot of references to it. If you're

2005
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:28,679
Speaker 10: gonna skip one, skip three. It came out fifteen years

2006
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:31,280
Speaker 10: later and felt more like a cash grab than a

2007
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:32,599
Speaker 10: real story worth telling.

2008
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 1: Okay, well, so I've got so. Basically he's saying to

2009
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:39,720
Speaker 1: watch Godfather one and two but not three. Okay, and

2010
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: Francis Ford Copola eighty six years old. Eighty six years old.

2011
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:47,679
Speaker 1: Uh Lisa writes in rich, I've been a Google Voice.

2012
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 1: I've had a Google Voice number for years. I started

2013
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:51,680
Speaker 1: when I was job hunting, and I want to give

2014
01:46:51,680 --> 01:46:55,400
Speaker 1: out my personal cell. It's coming handy in any situation

2015
01:46:55,439 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 1: where I need a phone number but don't want to

2016
01:46:57,439 --> 01:47:00,240
Speaker 1: share my private one. Your wife could have given now

2017
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:02,880
Speaker 1: a Google Voice number after her car accident instead of

2018
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:07,360
Speaker 1: her personal cell. Worth setting up just for moments like that. Yeah,

2019
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Okay, all right, Tanner, you

2020
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:10,960
Speaker 1: gotta do this one quick, souse. You got like a minute?

2021
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 10: All right, this is a long one. Dave Denver, Colorado.

2022
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,879
Speaker 10: Rich A few weeks ago, you had a bitcoin expert

2023
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,920
Speaker 10: on the show, and honestly, he came across more like

2024
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:25,599
Speaker 10: a cheerleader than an analysis. He kept saying, don't worry

2025
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:28,920
Speaker 10: and everything is okay, but never really explained why the

2026
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:33,680
Speaker 10: price dropped so fast. My own take, big institutional investors

2027
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:35,599
Speaker 10: and early buyers were cashing out.

2028
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:42,360
Speaker 1: I love you reading this one is that it no okay.

2029
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 10: At the expense of people who got in later. I

2030
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:48,400
Speaker 10: also wish you'd push back and ask whether he had

2031
01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 10: any financial ties to bitcoin.

2032
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:53,800
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I probably shouldn't have financial guests, but yeah,

2033
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:57,800
Speaker 1: bitcoin's still floundering here sixty six thousand. I actually thought

2034
01:47:57,800 --> 01:47:59,719
Speaker 1: he was a pretty good guest. I thought he explained

2035
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:01,719
Speaker 1: things pretty well. But yeah, maybe he was a little

2036
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:05,040
Speaker 1: bit too too hyped about the whole thing. All right,

2037
01:48:05,080 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for this episode of the show.

2038
01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:09,280
Speaker 1: You can find everything I mentioned on the website rich

2039
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:12,320
