1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: The team who discovered the FaceTime bug. A digital movie 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: service shuts down Spectrum Mobile compared should you switch the 3 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: lamp with a secret camera inside? And Netflix versus Hbo 4 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: versus Amazon? Who has the best movies? What's going on? 5 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: I'm Rich Dmiro. This is Rich on Tech, the podcast 6 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: where I talk about this stuff. I think you should 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: know that happened in the tech world. Plus I take 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: your calls and answer your tech questions. Umrich Dmiro, the 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: tech reporter at KTLA five News in Los Angeles. On 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: the web at richontech dot tv. So the big story 11 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: of the week, Oh my gosh, if you saw my 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: Facebook live, you knew that even I was in shock 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: at what happened with Apple. And by now you've heard 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: the story of the iPhone FaceTime bug that lets you 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: make a what amounts to a three way call with 16 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: another person and listen in to the person that you 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: originally called. I mean, this is just unfathomable. So the 18 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: way that the bug worked was, let's say you called 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: someone on FaceTime as you normally did, but then you 20 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: swiped up to use the new group FaceTime feature, and 21 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: instead of dialating some random number, you just added yourself 22 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: to the call once again with your own phone number. Well, 23 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: that would somehow trick FaceTime into picking up the phone 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: on the other end of the person you originally called, 25 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: so you and in essence connect to their phone without 26 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: them picking up their phone, and suddenly you can listen 27 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: to everything that was happening around their phone. And this 28 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: is just wild. I tried it with my wife's I 29 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: phone and also my kid's iPad, and both times it 30 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: worked perfectly. I did this several times before Apple got 31 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: hipped to it and ended up shutting things down on 32 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: the server side. So at this point we're waiting. By 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: the time you listen to this, there may be a 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: software update already out for the iPhone. As of this recording, 35 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: there has not been one, but I'm sure many folks 36 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: like myself have turned off FaceTime in the meantime, and 37 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: it might be tough for me to go back to FaceTime. 38 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: I didn't use it too often. It's obviously something that's 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: nice and convenient and cool to have on your phone. 40 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: But at this point, Apple has a pretty big black eye, 41 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: and it just it doesn't make sense to me that 42 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: this happened. It seems like such a lot of times 43 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: When I hear about these hacks, they're very complicated to reproduce, 44 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: and this one was not complicated in any way, shape 45 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: or form. In fact, it was discovered by a fourteen 46 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: year old, a high school student in Tucson, Arizona. All 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: he wanted to do was group FaceTime with some friends 48 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: playing Fortnite. He discovered the issue about I don't know, 49 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: i'd say a week before the public or the general public, 50 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: I should say. His mom tried to notify Apple, She 51 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: tried to we to the news stations. No one listened 52 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: to her. She put a video up on on YouTube apparently, 53 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: but nobody listened and next thing, you know, well, it 54 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: got out in a pretty big way. And Apple has 55 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: not publicly said anything yet. I feel like they should. 56 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: I know, Apple is a very private company. They don't 57 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: really say many things publicly. Of sometimes Tim Cook will 58 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: go on like an ABC News and do like a 59 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: big story with them, but it's all very controlled. And 60 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: this is a situation they're not controlling the message on, 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: so they probably won't speak out about it. If they 62 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: can figure out a way to spin it in their favor, 63 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: then yeah, maybe we'll see Tim Cook talk about it publicly. 64 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: But wow, it's kind of sad that they have so 65 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: many phones out there and the company chooses not to 66 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: say anything. And I get it, they might still be 67 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: fact finding or discovering or you know, working on the fix, 68 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: but it's just like acknowledge it. And yeah, there's been lawsuits. 69 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: And the thing almost to interested in is really what 70 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: they're going to do with this kid, because yeah, he 71 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: didn't go through the proper bounty program that a lot 72 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: of these tech companies offer. You know, if you find 73 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: a bug it, you know, they'll they'll pay you some 74 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: money for finding that bug, and it kind of keeps 75 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: people honest, it keeps people working their favor. He did 76 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: not go through that formally, but according to this article 77 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: NBC News article, they say payouts for the bug bounty 78 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: programs can range from twenty five thousand to two hundred 79 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I hope that Apple will be super nice, 80 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: give this kid a fat check, and you know, give 81 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: us the software update we need, and you know, we 82 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: can move on with our lives. But wow, this is 83 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: one of those things that you just see and you 84 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: can't believe. And we've got all these smart speakers in 85 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: our homes. I have them from Google. We've got Alexa, 86 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: the echos, you've got Siri on the you know on 87 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: the phone, You've got Google on your phone that's always 88 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: listening for those hot words. And it makes me think 89 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: twice about these things and could someone tap into those 90 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: and listen to the microphones on those It could be 91 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: only a matter of time. But I think this is 92 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: a good time for consumers to just be very aware 93 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: that this can happen, and it can still happen no 94 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: matter what, and we just need to be very vigilant 95 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: about our items and our gadgets that we bring into 96 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: our homes, and we welcome with open arms because this 97 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: still is a possibility. Now, Apple, even though you know 98 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: this is going on, report out of Bloomberg explain some 99 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: of the new features on the upcoming iPhones. They say 100 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: Apple is planning to include a more powerful three D 101 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: camera in their next models. Now, not the models coming 102 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: out this year, but this is we're talking the next 103 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: models after these. So the models that are coming up 104 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: this year sound like they're basically an iPhone TENSS and 105 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: an iPhone tens max S, you know, like just the 106 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: successor where it's just kind of the same phone, same design, 107 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: just everything inside is improved. The only different says it 108 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: sounds like there could be a third camera on the 109 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: back of the Max and that third camera will capture 110 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: a wider range of field and a larger pixels according 111 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: to this Bloomberg article, and that will help you with 112 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: you know, not only how the picture looks, but also 113 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: let's say you took a picture and you're missing some 114 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: of the stuff, some of the detail in the corner. 115 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: You can actually kind of zoom out a little bit 116 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: and get some more of that picture to recrop it 117 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: or something like that. Also, they say that the live 118 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: photos feature will be double the length from three seconds 119 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: to six seconds, which again gives you a little bit 120 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: more time to play with In case, I recommend keeping 121 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: the live photo feature on because I see so many 122 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: people that take pictures with it off, and I'm not 123 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: sure why if it is it's a security thing or 124 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: if it's a space thing on their phone, but leave 125 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: it on. That feature can really save you in a 126 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: wide variety of circumstances. So definitely leave that feature on. 127 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: One little thing you can do with it that's just 128 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: kind of fun. I mean, if you ever swipe up 129 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: on your picture. There's a lot of little fun things 130 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: you can do with your picture when you swipe up 131 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: if you have a live photo on, like a bounce effect, 132 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: a loop effect. If you're in Instagram, if you import 133 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: one of your pictures, if you press a hold on it, 134 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: it will turn it to an instant boomerang if you 135 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: have the live photo feature on your phone and you 136 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: took that photo that you're importing into Instagram with live photos, 137 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: So I say keep it on. So the other thing 138 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: they're doing with the new phones USB C connector they're 139 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: looking at switching that up instead of lightning. I feel 140 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: like that might happen with these phones, just because we 141 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: already saw that changeover come out with the iPads. The 142 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: new iPad pros already using USBC. That would make it 143 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: in line with all the Android and pretty much every 144 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: device out there is now using USBC as a standard. Now, 145 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: the big thing that's changing on the phones in the 146 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: next version, after the next version is this three D 147 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: camera that they're supposedly putting on there. It's going to 148 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: be a powerful three D camera that can take three 149 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: D pictures, and supposedly it's going to be pretty awesome. 150 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: And I could see that happen, so the other things. 151 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: When it comes to iOS thirteen, Bloomberg saying a dark mode, 152 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: which everyone's obsessed with this dark mode. I have it 153 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: on my MacBook ever since they came out with Mojave. 154 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: I've kept it in dark mode. It's kind of fun. 155 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, there's nothing special about it 156 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: to me, but people like it. All the apps have it. 157 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: Improvements to CarPlay as well. Anna from Claremont, you're on 158 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: with Rich. What can I help you with? 159 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: Hi? 160 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 3: Rich, I have a question as to what are your 161 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: thoughts regarding the Spectrum Mobile. 162 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: Oh, good question, because they're advertising all over the place 163 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: and it's forty five dollars for unlimited usage, right correct? 164 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: And who do you have right now? I have AT 165 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: and t Okay. So the big thing to know about 166 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: Spectrum Mobile. I actually think it's a great deal. But 167 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: there's two kind of caveats to this. Number one it 168 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: is you have to keep your Spectrum Internet for it 169 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: to work. Right, So if you're thinking at any point 170 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: in the future you're gonna ditch Spectrum Internet, you will 171 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: lose the discount the discounted line. And I think it's 172 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: either twenty or forty dollars more a month. Whatever it is, 173 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: it's more expensive. So are you thinking of ditching your 174 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: Internet with Spectrum at anytime in the future. 175 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: No, I actually just got Spectrum Internet and cable. 176 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: Okay, so you're you're kind of doing that, Okay. So 177 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: now the other thing to know is that number one, 178 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: it runs on the Verizon network, so you're actually gonna 179 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: have very good coverage. But there's one little trick that 180 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: they used to actually save money, is that you know 181 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: how they have those Well you may not know yet, 182 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: but there are Spectrum hot spots all over the cities 183 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: in America where they have service and their Wi Fi 184 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: hot spots. So what happens is your phone, when it can, 185 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: will actually route your calls through Spectrum's own Wi Fi 186 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: hot spots. And you don't know that this is happening. 187 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: It's kind of happening in the background, unbeknownst to you, 188 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: and you shouldn't really notice a difference in the quality. 189 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: It should sound just as good. But that's how they 190 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: save money by not using the Verizon network all the time. 191 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: So when they don't have that available, it will go 192 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: to Verizon. Your calls will sound just as good. So 193 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: That's the number one thing to know. The other thing 194 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: to know is usually the phones, you have to have 195 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: a specific phone for it to work, and generally it 196 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: was the iPhone. I think they just approved some Android phones. 197 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: What kind of phone do you have? 198 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 3: I just got a note? 199 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: You just got a note? Okay, so that might Note nine. Okay, 200 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: so that might be the deal breaker. Have you have 201 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: you seen if the Note nine is compatible with their service? 202 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 3: I have checked into it. They do offer Note nine. Okay, 203 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 3: So they just purchase a Note nine through them? 204 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: Okay, Well I. 205 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: Can also transfer mine overs what they're telling me, they're telling. 206 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: You you can okay. So I would say, how much you 207 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: spending on AT and T every month? 208 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 3: Oh jeez? For two lines? One hundred and close to 209 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety. 210 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: Okay, so you're talking one hundred and ninety dollars. This 211 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: would be forty five times two, which is ninety you'd 212 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: save one hundred dollars a month. I'd say, try it out. 213 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: Are they are? They saying you need to do a contract? 214 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: No right, no contract, no contract at all. 215 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say go for it. I mean ninety 216 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: bucks a month, you're gonna save one hundred dollars a month. 217 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: Even if you use it for a year, that's twelve 218 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: hundred dollars that pays for your next phone. And if 219 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: it's terrible, I mean, you already have your phone. They're 220 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: saying it's compatible, so that's number one. I mean, if 221 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: it's bad, you switch back. You can always switch back 222 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: to AT and T unless you're on some kind of 223 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: crazy grandfather plan that you'll never get again. But I 224 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: say go for it. I mean, I don't really see 225 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: a downside, if actually there is one downside. When I 226 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: bundled all of my stuff with AT and T a 227 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, like I had Direct TV, I 228 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: had Direct TV, I had AT and T wireless, and 229 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: I had AT and T for my internet. My bill 230 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: was like four hundred dollars a month. And it really 231 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: made me sad every month when I paid that because 232 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: it seems so expensive, even though I knew I get it. 233 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: Yes, I know, I understand what you're saying because I 234 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 3: did that with AT and T as well, and it 235 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 3: was it was ridiculous. 236 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, And just seeing it all together I think was 237 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: for me it was like mentally, you know, I knew 238 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: it was a good deal. But it was still all together. 239 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: It was like, WHOA, this is really expensive. So I 240 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: would say, if they can make sure that your Note 241 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: nine works with the Spectrum Mobile network, I say go 242 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: for it and let me know. I'd love to hear 243 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: what you think about in a month after using it. 244 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 3: Okay, I'll go ahead and do that, because I was. 245 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: I was weary about the coverage, but it's if it's 246 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: for Vison, then I would think I would it's a 247 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: win win for me. 248 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're gonna be fine with the coverage. 249 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: Verizon is excellent coverage, so in some cases it might 250 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: be better than what you have with AT and T. 251 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I'll go ahead and try it out 252 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 3: then and then I'll let you know how it goes. 253 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. 254 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Anna and Clinton. 255 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 3: You have a great day. 256 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks for calling in. Appreciate it. 257 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: Bye bye, bye bye. 258 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you about this next item, not because 259 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: I think you have any movies in it, but I 260 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: just feel like you should know about it and kind 261 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: of know a little bit about the history. But Ultraviolet 262 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: this is one of those movie services, kind of a 263 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: digital locker. It was introduced in twenty eleven. It is 264 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: shutting down as of July third. First, So, if you 265 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: remember ultraviolet, this was kind of at the same time 266 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: as Blu rays, right, so we had this weird time 267 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: between DVDs and streaming where Blu rays were kind of 268 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: like the way to go, but people were kind of 269 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: holding out for streaming. So this ultraviolet was a way 270 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: that if you got a Blu ray, you would get 271 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: a code inside the wrapper for an ultraviolet digital version 272 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: of the movie. Now, most of the time you could 273 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,599 Speaker 1: actually just use that same exact code for iTunes and 274 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: you'd get your movie that way. That's what I did 275 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the time. But you could also 276 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: store your movie in this ultraviolet digital locker. Of course, 277 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: that is shutting down, and the Ultraviolet locker was was 278 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: backed by all the major studios pretty much except Disney. 279 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: But the other problem with this is that none of 280 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: the major kind of streamers or i guess online movie 281 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: services supported it. So iTunes never worked with it. Amazon 282 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: never worked with it, and I think that was kind 283 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,359 Speaker 1: of the death spell number one. It was really complicated. 284 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: It was super confusing. I can never even find a 285 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: way to watch the ultraviolet movies in an easy fashion. 286 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: I think Flickster back in the day was one of 287 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: the apps that would let you watch it, and then Voodoo. 288 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if they eventually bought the technology or 289 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: they just kind of really integrated it pretty deeply into Voodoo. 290 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: But my advice at this point is to move over 291 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: to Movies Anywhere. And Movies Anywhere has the support of 292 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: all the major studios. It was actually introduced by Disney 293 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: back in the day. It was called I think it 294 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: was key Chest, and so Disney backs it. But all 295 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: the major studios minus Paramount is on board. So if 296 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: you have like Mission Impossible movies and stuff, those won't 297 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: come through. But what's cool about Movies Anywhere is you 298 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: can link up all your different accounts, So you can 299 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: link up your Microsoft account, your Amazon, your Google, yes iTunes. 300 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: So if you bought a bunch of movies and iTunes 301 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: and you want to watch them on your Fire TV, 302 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: you can do it. And what they do is you 303 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: don't even have to use the Movies Anywhere app. Once 304 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: you link all your accounts, your movies magically show up 305 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: across all these different services. So let's say you have 306 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: an Amazon fireTV, You're switching over from an Apple TV 307 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: where you bought a whole bunch of iTunes movies. You 308 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: go to Movies Anywhere dot Com, you link up your 309 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: iTunes account, you link up your Amazon account. All the 310 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: movies you bought in both places appear in both places. 311 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: So all the Amazon movies will now be in your iTunes, 312 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: all your iTunes will be in your Amazon and vice versa. 313 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: And it's really cool. It works. I hope Paramount gets 314 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: on board. I'm sure they will. This Movies Anywhere will 315 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: not share the same fat as Ultraviolet because it is 316 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: so much better. The implementation is way better. And that's 317 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: what I recommend you doing. So if you have Ultraviolet, 318 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: if you never set up a Voodoo, link Ultraviolet to Voodoo, 319 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: then link Voodoo to Movies Anywhere, and you should be 320 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: good for importing all of your movies. I Robot. You 321 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: know them for their robotic vacuum cleaners, which I don't 322 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: have an eye robot, but I have a d Bot, 323 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: which I really love. It's probably one of our favorite 324 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: gadgets in our home is our automated vacuum. Because you 325 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: set it and you forget it. You go out to work, 326 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: you go out for you know, pizza whatever. You come 327 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: back and your floors look amazing. And I love the 328 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: way my carpet looks when the robot cleans it, because 329 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: you've got these nice lines on it, and everything just 330 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: looks so nice and fresh, and it's so simple. But 331 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: I robot obviously sort of invented the genre. Now they're 332 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: tackling the lawn. So they've got a new Terra robot mower, 333 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: and it uses a state of the art mapping and 334 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: navigation system for high quality mowing, and it mows like 335 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: people do, in lines, and it intelligently navigates the yard, 336 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: cutting efficiently in back and forth lines, which is what 337 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: you want. You know, if your lawn is cut right, 338 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: you should get those nice lines up and down. It 339 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: also remembers where it mode, so it can go back 340 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: and you know, it doesn't miss a spot. And if 341 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: the batteries run low, it will return to its base 342 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: station to recharge and then resume mowing. Now. I don't 343 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: know who's gonna have their base station outside where this 344 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: lawnmower can go back to it, but I guess in 345 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: certain circumstances you might have it. My thing is, I'm 346 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: a little concerned with the safety of something like this, 347 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: and I'm just looking in here if they mentioned anything 348 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: about safety. I don't see anything in their release about safety, 349 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: but I'm sure they took into consideration safety. I have kids, 350 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: I don't, you know. I don't think people should be 351 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: around this thing while it's mowing. Now, unless you flip 352 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: it over, you're probably not gonna have a problem. It's 353 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: probably not gonna run over your toe. I mean, maybe 354 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: it would, but that's my main concern is the safety 355 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: of this thing. But I love the idea of it 356 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: that it can actually operate in inclement weather. It doesn't 357 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: say rain, but I guess I'm assuming that includes rain. 358 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: But I love the idea of this. You know, you 359 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: just have your in the future. I mean, I've got 360 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: not the biggest lawn in the world. I live in 361 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: southern California, and you know, I don't even want a 362 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: lawn because it's tough to keep alive without a lot 363 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: of water. But I love the idea of this thing 364 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: just going out there once a week and just cutting 365 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: your lawn perfectly. I will have to see what the 366 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: price is on it. The I Robot Terra Robot mower 367 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: will be available in sale in Germany and as a 368 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: beta program in the US in twenty nineteen. And they're 369 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: not saying exactly what the specific availability availability is just yet. 370 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: And the pricing is going to be launched at a 371 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: later date. So whenever they say pricing at a later date, 372 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 1: that means it's too expensive and they want to get 373 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: that price down before they announce it to the public. 374 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: Who's just going to ignore it. But if you think 375 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: about it, just your standard roombas are still pretty expensive. 376 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got some lesser expensive models, but you know, 377 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: a rumba is not cheap. A good one's probably three 378 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: fifty four hundred dollars, which is why a lot of people, 379 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: including myself, went for the d Bot, which is sort 380 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: of half the price and does the job. But I 381 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: love the idea of a robotic lawnmower. We're gonna have 382 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: to see just how well it works in real life. 383 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: Bob from Clifton, you're on the line with Rich. What's 384 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: going on? 385 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 2: Hey, Rich, I finally get to talk to you. We're 386 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: both from the same hometown. 387 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: It's a good hometown to have. 388 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: I'm about to cut the cord and I'm torn between 389 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: like Hulu Live and YouTube TV, and I'm debating on 390 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: the boat and one has a food network, which I love, 391 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: one doesn't. I just don't know which way to go. 392 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: So you're debating between Hulu and YouTube. So I will 393 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: tell you Number one, the Hulu interface to me, have 394 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: you tried trials on both of them? 395 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: I haven't. I have a friend who's been doing Hulu 396 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 2: for the last month, and she said, Oh, it's so 397 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 2: freaking great, and so I'm just sort of going with 398 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: her opinion Before I do it, though, I thought i'd 399 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: ask you, well. 400 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: There's two things that you sort of need to know. 401 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: Number One, the last time I used Hulu, I thought 402 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: the interface was horrendous. So that was enough for me 403 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: to not want to use it. Now they may have 404 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: changed that and simplified it in the past year or so, 405 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: but I did not like the way it was arranged 406 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: on my TV screen, So that was number one. Now, 407 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: your friend also may be referring to the amount of 408 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: content she gets because people love Hulu because they have 409 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff on there. Right, you get the 410 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: best of the live TV, plus you get all the 411 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: back catalog of all the stuff that they have, So 412 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of like she may be referring to that. 413 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: With YouTube TV, I think they have the absolute best interface. 414 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: It emulates a lot of what YouTube is like. They're 415 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: using a lot of that same technology to deliver you, 416 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: you know, crystal clear connections streaming that looks great no 417 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: matter what your connection is like. And the DVR is 418 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: really fantastic on YouTube TV as well. Really, so that's 419 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: I would personally, I would lean towards YouTube TV. I 420 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: think that the channel selection is a little bit less 421 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: on there is that which one had Food Network. 422 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: Hulu has it. That's why I was debating not to 423 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: do YouTube because I'm a I'm a food network guy, 424 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: you know. 425 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and when and when when YouTube TV first came out, 426 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: they really pushed the sports and I'm not a sports person, 427 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: so I really didn't care about a lot of those networks. 428 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: So it's kind of it kind of comes down to 429 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: the if you have to have Food Network, if you're 430 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: going to be really sad every month, if you're paying 431 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: forty bucks or whatever it is and you don't get 432 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: the one channel that you want to watch, to me, 433 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: that's kind of a bummer, Like I need to have, 434 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, a certain if I had a certain channel 435 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: that I wanted to watch, I would need to have 436 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: that right, so that may push you over. I'd say 437 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: if my advice is to do the free trial on 438 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: both of them and then see which one you like better. 439 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: The only other thing you have to consider is the 440 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: streaming box you have. What are you using to actually 441 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: stream these. 442 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: I have like a five year old Roku. 443 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: Okay, so, and are both of them available on there? 444 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 4: Yes? 445 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: So YouTube TV and the Hulu is available on Roku so, 446 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: and I will just tell you with the Roku that's 447 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: five years old, it's the processing power on that device 448 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: is not going to be that good for running these 449 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: two apps. So you may want to consider upgrading. That's 450 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: just a consideration, but I think you can do that eventually. 451 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: You don't need to do that day one, right, And 452 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: Hulu has Roku has some great products that you can 453 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: get now that are a little bit better, a little 454 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: bit better processing power. The only other thing I'd recommend 455 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: is a website called Untangled dot tv. And I talked 456 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: about this yesterday on the radio, But I like this 457 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: website because you can pop in the channels that you 458 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: want to watch, and also the TV shows that you 459 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: regularly watch. And it will spit out these streaming services 460 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: and the equipment it thinks you should purchase. So it's 461 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: a really helpful website. Yeah, so that's Untangled dot tv 462 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: and it's it's really nice. 463 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: So and I assume if I get YouTube TV, the 464 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: only extra cost is adding Hulu, which would be included 465 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: in Hulu Live right. 466 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: Right, Well, I don't know do they include that in there? 467 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 2: Uh no, Hulu's not included in YouTube TV. 468 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I mean, but it is, okay, So in 469 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: Hulu Live it is. So yeah. So that so the 470 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: price differential is what forty bucks for YouTube TV, right. 471 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: And same for who YouTube forty Hulu forty bucks. 472 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: So they're both forty and you get a little bit 473 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: more with the Hulu side. 474 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: You're saying a little bit just because you say, what 475 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 2: eight bucks on Hulu, So you have to just pay 476 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: eight dollars. There's more for YouTube. 477 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: I'm hearing Bob that since you like the Food Network 478 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: and you like that back catalog, if you're gonna pay 479 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: forty eight dollars and you're not gonna have the one 480 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: channel you like, I think that you got to go 481 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: with Hulu. I think try it out, see what you 482 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: think and if you like it and everything's good, then 483 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: just stick with it. If you're a little bit unhappy, 484 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: then sign up for YouTube TV. See what that's all about, 485 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: and then you can make your informed decision of whether 486 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: to go back to Hulu or to keep it that way. 487 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: All right, beautiful listen, I thank you for your help. 488 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 2: Even though I'm from Clifton, I live in La now, 489 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 2: so I'm hoping one of these days our paths cross. 490 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: You never know, you see me say hi. That's for sure. 491 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 2: I will definitely doing things for the advice. I appreciate it, all. 492 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: Right, Bob, appreciate it, and thanks so much for calling in. 493 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 2: Take care by. 494 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if Gmail on your smartphone looks just 495 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: a little bit different. I don't know if you remember, 496 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: but Gmail went through kind of a big change a 497 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: couple months ago on the desktop. It made it look 498 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: more like inbox, where a lot of your attachments and 499 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: things are all front and center. You can see them 500 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: without opening an email. They have the snooze button, they 501 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: have the delete buttons, all this stuff right front and center. 502 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: Much easier to kind of organize stuff and look through 503 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: your email. Well, what's happening? Is that's basically coming to 504 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: the phone. So Gmail on both Android and iOS is 505 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: going to be updated with this new look. So that's 506 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: basically it. I mean, all you need to know is 507 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: that Gmail is going to change. It's gonna look more 508 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: like Inbox. I think what they did is pretty good. 509 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: I think they took the best features of Inbox and 510 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: they put it on the regular Gmail. Personally, I love 511 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: the smart compose. I love the smart reply. Smart composed 512 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: is when you start typing an email, which by the way, 513 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: I already have on my mobile. You start typing an 514 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: email and it just completes it for you. That's really cool. 515 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: I believe that's only on my mobile on Android, though 516 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that's on iOS. Smart reply is on 517 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: Android and iOS. And I just love smart reply. Because 518 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: someone emails you, you get those three replies at the 519 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: bottom nine times out of ten, one of them is 520 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: pretty darn useful. One click, one tap, I should say, 521 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: you can send an email to someone with a great 522 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: little reply that is generated by a computer and artificial intelligence. 523 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: It's kind of like what you imagine when artificial intelligence 524 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: does its job in a really good way. So be 525 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: on the lookout for the new Gmail, And the other 526 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: thing I like about this for the average person is 527 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: that Gmail is now doing much bigger warnings when an 528 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 1: email is trying to get your username and password out 529 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: of you by phishing you. So these phishing emails, these 530 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: spam emails, it's marking them in a much better way, 531 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: and I think that helps people out a lot. You're 532 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: listening to the rich on Tech podcast. I'm rich Demiro 533 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: and you can find me on Instagram at rich on Tech. 534 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: If you haven't noticed, man, I am going all in 535 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: on Instagram. I love it. I mean, it's it's funny 536 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: because I never thought of Instagram as a place where 537 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: people kind of used for news and information. But it's 538 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: clear that you guys love seeing newgits and little videos 539 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: that I make and stories on Instagram. So I'm going 540 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: all in. I'm still on Facebook and I've got a 541 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: lot of you there, but definitely in twenty nineteen you'll 542 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: see me using Instagram a lot more so. If you're 543 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: not following me there, follow me there. It is at 544 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: rich on Tech. And I know I've told you a 545 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: lot of times about my book, but my book, once 546 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: again is one hundred and one Handy Tech Tips for 547 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: the iPhone. It's available right now on Amazon. Let me 548 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: just tell you a few notes about the music services 549 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: Apple Music. If you are a subscriber to Apple Music, 550 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: you can now stream for free on American Airlines. And 551 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: I really don't understand this, but hear me out. If 552 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: you're on an American Airlines flight and you're a subscriber 553 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: to Apple Music, there's and there's Wi Fi on the 554 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: plane which is on there. Let's see what planes via satellite, 555 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: so it's a specific plane. I'm assuming a lot of 556 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: their planes have this. But you can now stream Apple 557 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: Music for free. So you don't have to sign in 558 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: for the Wi Fi. You don't have to pay well, 559 00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: you probably have to sign in, but you don't have 560 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 1: to I guess you just connect to their Wi Fi. 561 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: You don't have to purchase the Wi Fi to stream. Now. 562 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: I think this is great if you forget to download 563 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: music to your phone, and maybe some people do that. 564 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: But here's where I find this is kind of weird. 565 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: And I love that Apple Music is making all these agreements. 566 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: You know, now they're on Echo and you know now 567 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: you can do this, but the weird Oh and you 568 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: can also get it for free through Verizon. But the 569 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: weird thing is, if you're going on a trip, wouldn't 570 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 1: you download music to your phone anyway? And if you're 571 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: a subscriber, you're gonna be doing that because you can 572 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: download songs offline. So I don't really understand why we 573 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: necessarily need this except in those use case scenarios where 574 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: and this has happened to me, you thought you downloaded 575 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: music and you didn't, or you forgot to refresh your playlist, 576 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: whatever it is, so in that case it will work. 577 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: I feel personally like they should have just made it 578 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: so that you could listen to Apple Music on your 579 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: iPhone without a subscription when you're on an American Airlines flight. 580 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: Take the little hit, but at least you'll be introducing 581 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,479 Speaker 1: people to your music service, and that's my only qualm 582 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: with this. Otherwise, great, if you forgot your music American Airlines, 583 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: open up the music app and you're a subscriber, you 584 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 1: can listen to the music that you already pay for. 585 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of music, YouTube music is now available on so 586 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: nos and this is a good thing YouTube. Google is 587 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: really having trouble transitioning their music services. They at this 588 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: point have Google Play Music. They've got YouTube Music. It's 589 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: super confusing. It's just they want everyone to use YouTube 590 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: music eventually, but they just can't kind of cut everyone 591 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: off from Google Music, so Google Play Music whatever they 592 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: call it. So YouTube Music is a separate app and 593 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: it is now available on Sons and if you have 594 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: a subscription, you can play all your stuff through Sons 595 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: And I actually really like YouTube music. Google gave me 596 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: a trial subscription, like a test account to try it out, 597 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: and I actually really like it. There's a couple of 598 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: things I like. Number one, it's Google. They know everything 599 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: about you, including your musical tastes. Everything that you ever 600 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: watched on YouTube kind of goes into their algorithm so 601 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 1: they understand what you like. My favorite part of YouTube 602 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: music is the live versions of songs and songs that 603 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: were performed on like TV shows, award shows, and it 604 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: will unearth those performances for you on your main page, 605 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: so you know, you might go in for a playlist 606 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: next thing you know you're watching, you know, one of 607 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: your favorite artists perform on Jimmy Fallon or something. So 608 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: that's really cool. It hasn't gotten me to switch. I 609 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: still use Spotify primarily, but I do now that this 610 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: is available there, it definitely might make me reconsider it. 611 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: The other place where YouTube music is not at this point, 612 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: as far as I know from the last time I checked, 613 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: is on Android Auto and car Play. So my music 614 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: has to be my music app of choice has to 615 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: be on Android Auto, it has to be on Apple 616 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: car Play, and it has to be on so nos 617 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: for me to really be able to use it, and 618 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: of course on iOS and Android. So the only one 619 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: that really fits that bill right now is Spotify, which 620 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: is what I use primarily. Sometimes I dabble with Apple 621 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: Music because I get it for free now with my Verizon, 622 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: but again, I feel like Spotify is kind of the 623 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: best overall. And one thing I've been doing with Sonos 624 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: specifically is I've actually been using I never did this before, 625 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: but I've been controlling my Sono speakers from the Spotify app. 626 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: So when you play a playlist, there's a little thing 627 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: at the bottom that shows you your all your speakers 628 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: in your house, and you can just play directly to 629 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: them bypassing the sonosapp, which I never really understood, but 630 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: now I think it's kind of cool because it's like 631 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: I already know the Spotify app, so it's kind of 632 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: fun to just shortcut the Sonos app and just use 633 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: Spotify all together. JT and Vegas. You're on with Rich? 634 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: What's going on? 635 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 4: Hey? Rich, missed you at CES this year? We got 636 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 4: together last year at the China Exhibit. 637 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: I know I'd even go to the China Exhibit this time. 638 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't able to make it. 639 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: Whoops. 640 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 4: I was able to get Tesla to give some special rides. 641 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 4: I tried to text you, but of course there wasn't 642 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 4: any service in the hotel. 643 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: Yes, oh my god, oh, oh my gosh. Okay. I 644 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: stayed at the Flamingo, and let me tell you, it 645 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: was the worst cell slash Wi Fi dead spot I've 646 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: ever stayed into my entire life. Literally, just trying to 647 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: get my work done for KTLA was nearly impossible. So 648 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: Vegas is very challenging when it comes to these cell 649 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: towers and Wi Fi in the hotel. Sometimes it's good, 650 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: sometimes it's really bad. 651 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 4: I thought, what's interesting is that they don't tell you anymore. 652 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 4: I was trying to connect to Siri, and I was 653 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 4: trying to connect to different websites and everything all around 654 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 4: the convention center, and it wasn't working. And everything. So finally, 655 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 4: when I got a hold of AT and T, they go, well, 656 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 4: go down in your iPhone and reset your network settings. 657 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 4: And I go, why the hell len't you guys put 658 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 4: something out to say that when you change the network setting. 659 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 4: No answer. Of course, as soon as I changed it, 660 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 4: I got connected. 661 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: Oh nice, Okay, so that's interesting. So it needed kind 662 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: of a and I've done that, and I actually mentioned 663 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: that in the book because a lot of people think 664 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: that the reset on your phone, on your iPhone just 665 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, clears out your whole device. But there is 666 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: a very important setting called reset network settings. And what 667 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: it does is it clears out like let's say you're 668 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: having a problem with your Bluetooth in your car or 669 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: your Wi Fi connections they're all messed up, or like 670 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: you said, you're in a new area the cell phone towers, 671 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: nothing's working. So definitely go into settings and do what's 672 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: called a network reset. So you go into Settings and 673 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: then you go into General and then all the way 674 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: at the bottom it says reset, and it says reset 675 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: network settings. You will have to log into your Wi 676 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: Fi and your Bluetooth again, but it kind of fixes 677 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: a lot of those little problems that you might be 678 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 1: having with your iPhone. And incidentally, I've noticed a lot 679 00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: of the newer Android phones have this as an option 680 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: as well, so you can find it in settings. But 681 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: that's a great tip. JT. 682 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 4: Yep, see you later, d JT. 683 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: Thank you well. This is kind of scary, especially if 684 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: you're staying in an Airbnb. It's called the home Hawk 685 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: floor Lamp by Panasonic. This is a lamp that has 686 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: a camera built in. In fact, they describe it as 687 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: a discrete eye level camera to keep an eye on 688 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: your home from the perfect vantage point. Just plug it 689 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: in and set it up. It's got HD recording, wide 690 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: angle view, motion detection, and that's about it. It doesn't 691 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: look like it's Wi Fi. It looks like it's just 692 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: recording to a memory card. I could be wrong about that, 693 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: but it says everything can be controlled with an app, 694 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: so you know what I'm guessing. And it can be 695 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: paired with major voice assistants, so I'm guessing it's got 696 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: to be Wi Fi. It's got a microphone and speaker 697 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: for two way communications, so yeah. It also has backup 698 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: batteries eight double A batteries, which gives you an hour 699 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: and a half of backup time in case, you know, oh, 700 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: someone staying at your Airbnb notices that there's a camera 701 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,719 Speaker 1: in the living room and they unplug the lamp because 702 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: you know that whole privacy thing. But this lamp is 703 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: made by Panasonic. They're actually doing it as an indie 704 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: go go I think, just to kind of gauge interest 705 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: in this lamp. Again. It's called the Home Hawk Floor 706 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: and it says to keep an eye and ear on pets. 707 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: You can use it for that, use it for peace 708 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 1: of mind. 709 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: You know. 710 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm kind of torn on this because I do have 711 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: cameras in my home in the public areas, so it's 712 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 1: not like that's on you know, it's not like that's 713 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: not happening. But at the same time, I feel like 714 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: this could be something that might be misused because it 715 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: is sort of hidden. The cameras in my house are 716 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: very clear. You can see where they are. But I 717 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, I you know, look, it's just 718 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: because they're not doing it doesn't mean there's not a 719 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: million other people who will be doing it. So the 720 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: price is kind of expensive. Looks like it's gonna be 721 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: about two hundred and eighty dollars once it's really available. 722 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: Right now, they're doing an earthly special as low as 723 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: it looks like one hundred and eighty five dollars and 724 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: then one hundred and ninety nine dollars May twenty nineteen 725 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: for the Panasonic Home Hawk floor. And again, everything I 726 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 1: talk about here you can find in the show notes. 727 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: Just look in the show notes on your podcasting app 728 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: and you'll find it. I've often wondered about this, who 729 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: has the best movie collection? Remember when Netflix was really 730 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: really bad, like at the point where you literally could 731 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: not find something to watch on there. Well, they have 732 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: come a long way, and Streaming Observer did a little 733 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: comparison between Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hbo, and Hulu and they 734 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: found that yes, Amazon has Sorry, they found that Netflix 735 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: has the best movies. Now Amazon says they have four 736 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: and a half times as many movies as Netflix, but 737 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: the quality isn't very good. So what they did was 738 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: they looked at all the libraries of these services including Netflix, 739 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Hbo to see how they compare. 740 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: So when it comes to movie size, Amazon Prime has 741 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: the most seventeen thousand, four hundred and sixty one things 742 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: to watch and get this that's a lot of stuff, 743 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: but I can barely find something I want to watch 744 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: on Amazon, that's for sure. Netflix has three thousand, eight 745 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine movies. Of course, these numbers are 746 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: always changing, they're moving targets, but Netflix has about four thousand, 747 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: and if you look at uh, let's see, HBO has 748 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifteen movies. Hulu has twenty three hundred 749 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: and thirty six. So here's where it gets interesting. How 750 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: many of these movies are actually things you want to watch? 751 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: So when it comes to Netflix, they use Rotten Tomatoes 752 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 1: to kind of look at the certified fresh, and Rotten 753 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: Tomatoes has that weird grating system. But I think certified 754 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: fresh means it's pretty good. It took me a while 755 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: to figure that out. But out of Netflix's four thousand movies, 756 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: fifteen and a half percent are certified fresh, Hulu ten percent, 757 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: so that's actually pretty good. HBO in third place with 758 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 1: about five percent of their movies certified fresh. The cool 759 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: thing about HBO go they don't have that many movies, 760 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,959 Speaker 1: but the movies they do have I find are pretty good. 761 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: Like out of the you know, main titles, they usually 762 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: have one new one every week as they're kind of 763 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: core title. It's usually a decent movie that was in 764 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: the theaters. Amazon Prime only one percent certified fresh. Again, 765 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: this is all from streaming observer dot com and I 766 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: don't have much experience with Hulu, but I think that 767 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: they're pretty much right on. Yeah, I would say Netflix 768 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: and than Amazon. Finally, I'll leave you with this, the 769 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: Bouncing DVD wallpaper screensaver. Found this for the Android devices. 770 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: And remember when you had a DVD player and it 771 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: would just have that bouncing DVD logo on the screen. Well, 772 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: that's exactly what a guy named Steve Wosniak, No, not 773 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: that Steve Wosniak, a different one came up with for Android. 774 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: It's an app in the Google play Store. He describes 775 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: it as throwback live wallpaper, just like those old DVD 776 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 1: player screen savers, and that's basically it for the description. 777 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: Not too many downloads just yet, but it's kind of 778 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: fun to see this background on your phone in an 779 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: old school retro kind of way. Even if you're not 780 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: going to download it, it's just kind of fun to 781 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: see it because we all remember that logo. It's one 782 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 1: of those things that will be lost on the new generation. 783 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: But if you want to check it out again, it's 784 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: called The Bouncing DVD Wallpaper Screensaver.
