1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: The tech gifts that are on every twenty twenty five

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: holiday list, and how to get them without overpaying. Google

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: makes Android work with airdrop, but will it last? And

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: never clip grocery store coupons ever? Again the free tool

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: that does it for you, plus your tech questions answered.

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: on Tech. This is the show where I talk about

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the tech stuff I think you should know about. It's

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: also the place where I answer your questions about technology.

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: I believe that tech should be interesting, useful and fun.

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: Phone lines are open at triple eight Rich one oh one.

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one

Speaker 1: zero one. Give me a call if you have a

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: question about technology. Email is also open. Just go to

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: richon tech dot tv and hit contact. All right, we're

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: doing things a little different this week. All the music

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: you hear is requested from you. So this song Lovely

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Day by Bill Withers is from Heidi. She dedicates it

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: to her family and friends. Great song, fun way to

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: start the show. All Right. Guests this week Nathan Burrow,

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: you know him from Wirecutter. He's going to share the

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: best tested tech gifts this season, and smart ways to

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: save and later in the show this is a huge

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: growth area AI in healthcare. Doctor Adam Oskowitz, co founder

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: of Doctronic, is going to talk about how AI can

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: help patients and doctors alike. Well, I hope you're having

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: a fantastic day. This is I always call it the

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: slide into the holidays, but specifically this week is the

29
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: slide right into Thanksgiving, which I think is one of

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: the best holidays because it brings everyone together. Everyone were

31
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: my wife and I were shopping for a Thanksgiving dinner

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: and the shelves were already sort of like you know,

33
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: pick through and not just some things were sold out.

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: We couldn't find the mini marshmallows we wanted. But my

35
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: point was, as I was driving home, I said, whose

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: idea was it to have every person in America have

37
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: the same exact meal on a single day. I mean,

38
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: that takes a lot to do that, and so I

39
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: never really thought about that in the past, But yeah,

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: we're all making the same meal. So personally, I always

41
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: look forward to the stuffing my mom's recipe, and then

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: the candied sweet potatoes, which is also my mom's recipe. Ironically,

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: we were thinking about this all the recipes because my wife,

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, she has this fond memory of eating pumpkin

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: pie that her grandma made. And when you ask your family,

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: like where did you get the recipe? Nine times out

47
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: of ten it was on the label of the food

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: back in the day, and they just sort of changed

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: it as things went along. So it's like, oh yeah,

50
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: my secret family recipe for my pumpkin pie was on

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: the can of Libby's. It's like my sausage stuffing was

52
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: from Jimmy Dean. But that's how it happened back in

53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: the day. I mean, there was no Internet. People were

54
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: not Either had to pass a recipe to a friend,

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: or you passed it down in the family members, or

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: you probably just found it on the label of the

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: favorite food that you bought. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving this week.

58
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: I could not believe this happened. I just couldn't believe it.

59
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: Google somehow figured out a way to make its Android phones,

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: specifically the Pixel ten series, work with Apple's air Drop. Now,

61
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: if you remember in the past companies that have tried

62
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: to make things work with Apple, when Apple specifically blocks

63
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: this from working, Apple somehow makes a little change that

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: keeps this from continuing in the future. Now, they haven't

65
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: done that yet with this air Drop situation, but it

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: could be a matter of time or Apple could finally say,

67
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: you know what, with all the pressure and regulations against

68
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: us at this point, especially over in Europe, maybe we

69
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: should just let this happen. So what Apple, what Google

70
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: did is they basic looked at air drop and they said, okay,

71
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: how do we make the pixel work with air drop?

72
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: How do we make Android work with air drop? They

73
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: did not hack anything. They just looked into the way

74
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: the system works, and then they just took their quick Share,

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: which is their version of you know, if you have

76
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: an Android phone, quick Share is your version of air Drop.

77
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: And so what they did was they just looked at

78
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: it and they said, all right, how can we make

79
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: quick share work with air drop? And they did it.

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: They coded it with some very smart people, and they

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: didn't just hack this together. These are people that tested

82
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: this to make sure it is secure, to make sure

83
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: it is safe, to make sure there is no workaround

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: involved here. They just somehow made the pixels show up

85
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: on the iPhones and vice versa. So now if you

86
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: have a Pixel ten series you can go and air

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: drop photos and videos from that device to an Apple device.

88
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: And that's not just the iPhone, that's any Apple device

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: that supports air drop and vice versa. So if you

90
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: have an iPhone and you've got a Pixel friend, you

91
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: can now swap photos with them very easily. Google says

92
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: all of the transfers are device to device. They are

93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: not routed through any server or cloud storage. Nothing is logged,

94
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: no extra data is collected beyond the transfer. Now, this

95
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: is available on the Pixel ten series at launch, and

96
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: they want to make this available to all Android phones.

97
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: But try it as I might, I could not get

98
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: it to work on the Samsung. Even downloading their little

99
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: helper app you gotta download did not work. But this

100
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: is great for the holidays. I know Pixel ten still

101
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: a very small amount of people that have that device,

102
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: but if this could get shared to all Android devices

103
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: over the next couple of months, that would be game changing.

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Now it's really up to Apple. Are they going to

105
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: stop this? I think if they did, they would have

106
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: to have a really good reason. We remember what they

107
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: did with Beeper. They tried to make I Message available

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: on Android and Apple said, uh uh, no way, and

109
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: they changed everything so that program would not work anymore. Now.

110
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: Apple could do this easily because all they have to

111
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: do is write something into the code that says verre

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: not sharing to an Apple device. It's not gonna work.

113
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: But will they do that? I think it would be

114
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: downright evil for them to do that. I don't think

115
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: it would be right for them to do that. Clearly,

116
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: this system can work between devices and for people like

117
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: myself that are always mixing devices and using different things,

118
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: it really is game changing. And by the way, just

119
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: in general holiday parties, Hey, you took that picture on

120
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: your pixel because you've got a great camera. Can you

121
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: share it to me?

122
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: No?

123
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: I can't. I got to text it to you, which

124
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: is fine because RCS. But still so, Apple, please don't

125
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: ruin a good thing. And Google, kudos to you for fighting.

126
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like the two goliaths, right, like

127
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: Google is huge, Apple is huge. And Google, by the way,

128
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: did not work with Apple on this. They made that

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: clear in their blog posts. They said we hope to

130
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: work with Apple in the future about making this a

131
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: permanent thing or something to that effect. The other big

132
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: news this week, Roadblocks is now requiring facial basically facial

133
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: age checks, so they're using AI to figure out the

134
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: age of users, and then they put them into a

135
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: category under nine, nine to twelve, thirteen to fifteen, sixteen

136
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: to seventeen, eighteen to twenty or twenty one plus. Now,

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: if your kid plays Roadblocks, your grandkids. There's been some

138
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: issues on Roadblocks with inappropriate chats, inappropriate content, and this

139
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: happens pretty regularly, and Roadblocks knows this, but of course

140
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: they don't want to be regulated, just like every other

141
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: tech company out there, so they try to put these

142
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: things in place before the regulations, before the regulators kind

143
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: of figure stuff out and say, oh, hold on, maybe

144
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: kids shouldn't be playing this game that's just unchecked for

145
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: hours of every day. And parents, they know Roadblocks, but

146
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: they don't really know what their kids are doing. They

147
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: just hear the noises, They hear the kids yelling, screaming,

148
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: playing with their friends. So what's going to happen? And

149
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: this has already started to roll out, although it's not

150
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: required here in the US until January. But your kid,

151
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: if they're playing Roadblocks, they've probably already seen a message

152
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: that says, hey, verify your age using a selfie, and

153
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: so what it does. They're using this third party company

154
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: called Persona, which a lot of these digital IDs use.

155
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: But your kid holds their iPad up to their face,

156
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: it takes a video selfie. They turn left right to

157
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of verify and make sure it's a live person,

158
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: and then it uses the facial identification to figure out

159
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: how old the kid is or the user, and then

160
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: they put them in a group nine to twelve, like

161
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: I said, thirteen to fifteen, sixteen to seventeen, and then

162
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: kids are only allowed to chat with other users in

163
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: their similar age groups. Now, kids under nine chat by

164
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: default is turned off unless a parent turns it back

165
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: on after the age check. So that's interesting. And if

166
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: your kid plays these games, you know that chat is

167
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: a huge part of video games and kids don't want this,

168
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: by the way, at all. I think for parents it's

169
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: a good thing because you don't want your kids. If

170
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: your kid is nine, they don't need to be chatting

171
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: with someone that's eighteen or twenty one. Now there is

172
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: a way to have them chat with their verified friends

173
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: or family members that might be older. You can do that,

174
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: but the chat is monitored by AI. They do have

175
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: filtering for kids under thirteen. But I'll be honest, my

176
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: kid was telling me all the stuff that he's seen

177
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: in Roadblock's chat, and you know, not all of it's good.

178
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: So this what's interesting about this whole facial ID verification

179
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: is that my kid has already asked me if he

180
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: can somehow cheat the system because his friend already cheated

181
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: the system somehow he got in eighteen, And now my

182
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: kid wants to be eighteen because if he gets his

183
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: real age, which is younger than that, he's not gonna

184
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: be able to chat with his friend. But I'm not

185
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna let my kid break this rule so that he

186
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: can chat with eighteen and twenty year olds.

187
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: No way.

188
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: So parents are gonna have to have you know, they're

189
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure out where they stand on this.

190
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Do they want to help their kids fake this? You know,

191
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: because the parent can sit there in front of the

192
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: ID and do the check for the kid and their

193
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: age will come up as older, But then the kid

194
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: won't be able to chat with their friends if they

195
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: do the real thing. So I think this is a

196
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: pretty good system. I don't think it's going to be perfect,

197
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: but I think it's better than nothing. And so that's

198
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: going to be rolling out. You don't have to do

199
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: it just yet. I would say maybe wait a little bit,

200
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: let's let this settle in. It's only been a couple

201
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: of days where Roadblocks has done this in the US.

202
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: You have until January to do it, so maybe wait

203
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks to see how this works out.

204
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: All right? Coming up, we are going to talk about

205
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: the worst passwords of twenty twenty five. I've got the

206
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: top worst password right here. It's pretty bad. It's pretty

207
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: easy to figure out. Plus, we've got the details on

208
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: that major outage this week, that cloud Flare outage. We're

209
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: going to talk about that. We've got the gadget of

210
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: the week. Of course, your emails just overflowing my inbox

211
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: and your calls at triple eight rich one oh one

212
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me this weekend. More rich

Speaker 1: our guests. You can find links to all of it

221
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: right there. Let's go to Raymond in the San Fernando Valley.

222
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich Hi.

223
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: They're Rich.

224
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: Hi.

225
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: Got an easy question for you.

226
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 4: We just bought a brand new twenty five subrew cross Trick,

227
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: which I really like.

228
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: Oh nice, people love superus oop.

229
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 5: So what I need to do is I want to

230
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 5: get a dashcam for it.

231
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: What do you recommend, Crucial, you live in LA, you

232
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: need you need a dash cam. The amount of things

233
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: I capture on my dash cam is unbelievable. Now, my

234
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: cameras are built into my car. I've got a Tesla,

235
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: so they are all built in. But I'm not kidding.

236
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: It is like a superpower. Because I'm on the High

237
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: Freeway yesterday and I'm not kidding. I'm like, why is

238
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: this slowing down? This guy in front of me does

239
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: like a pit maneuver on another car because he was

240
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: so angry at this other driver on the freeway, and

241
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: so every driver behind him had to slow down and

242
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: go around this this wild whatever was happening on the freeway.

243
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: And this guy gets out of his car and he

244
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: just like wants to start with this truck driver. It's like, dude,

245
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: what is happening here, what is going on? Anyway? I

246
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: captured it on my cash camp because it's just like,

247
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: what is happening? I was the first car behind them anyway.

248
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: So here here's what you want to look for. Number one,

249
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: you know the resolution of the camera. Most of these

250
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: cameras are ten eighty P. If you want to go

251
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: four K. That's going to allow you to get things

252
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: like license plates more clearly, or identifying characteristics when you are,

253
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, out and about. So TENAD may not cut it.

254
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: You may get something. You may capture some video you

255
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: try to zoom in you're like, oh, I can't see

256
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: that license plate. So that's number one. Number two the

257
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: field of view. Wider field of view means that you're

258
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: going to see more in the video that you're capturing,

259
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: So anywhere from one hundred and forty to one hundred

260
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: and seventy degrees that's going to be good. Make sure

261
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: that you get either low light or low light night

262
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: vision or low light cameras not if that's not advertised

263
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: on the camera that you're getting, it probably doesn't have that,

264
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: so at night you're not going to see as well.

265
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: That's number That's the next one. The other feature that

266
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: you really want is called loop recording. So this means

267
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: that the camera is just going to continuously record most

268
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: of the time to a micro SD card. If you

269
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: get one of these cameras that has a cellular connection,

270
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: that's going to be slightly better just because if the

271
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: camera was stolen or your car was stolen, you might

272
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: be able to still capture some of that video because

273
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: it was uploaded to the cloud. But that's going to

274
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: be a lot more expensive, and those cameras that have

275
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: not taken off in a huge way just because of

276
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: the cost. I think. The other thing is a G

277
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: sensor that means that you're a if it's bumped while

278
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: it's parked, the camera will automatically trigger a recording, and

279
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: so that is going to be a great way to

280
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: capture if something happens to in a parking lot when

281
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: you're not in the car or something like that. Now,

282
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: as for brands, this is tricky because I'll be honest,

283
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: the camera that I love ring made and they're no

284
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: longer making it, or they're no longer selling it, whatever

285
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: they're doing. But didn't really work out. But that one

286
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: was great because I had the cellular built in it

287
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: records front and back, and it was just such an

288
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: easy camera to install. But it's just I don't know

289
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: why they're not doing that anyway. So the brands that

290
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: come up in reviews over and over that people like

291
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: are Vofo. I know it's a funny name, but these

292
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: sell a lot on Amazon. For some reason. People really

293
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: like them because I guess the combination of price and

294
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: what you get is really good. So Vofo. The next

295
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: one that people really seem to like is Van True.

296
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: And I've seen all these brands out and about at cs,

297
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: so you know, they're all like they've been in the

298
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: kind of the marketplace for a long time. But Van

299
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: True is another one, and I'm trying to see how

300
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: much theirs goes for on Amazon. So Van True right now,

301
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: everything is on Black Friday specials. They've got one anywhere

302
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: from ninety nine dollars up to two hundred and sixty five.

303
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: And that ninety nine dollars one, you know's got great reviews,

304
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of buyers, so that one might not

305
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: be bad at all to get. That's the Van True

306
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: E one pro four K. Look at that night vision

307
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: so mentions everything I just said Garman obviously tried in

308
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: True Brand in this space and then next space. They

309
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: are out of the UK. They are very popular as well,

310
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: so you can find them. Let me see if they're

311
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: on Amazon next space. Sure enough they are on Oh

312
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: are they?

313
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

314
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: They are, and they've got one that's ten ADP for

315
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine dollars. That's on sale for

316
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: eighty dollars. So those are some great options, great things

317
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: to look for. I think the dash cam just gives

318
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: you piece of mind. For sure. I really enjoy having it,

319
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: and for me, it's more of capturing kind of all

320
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: the nonsense that I see on a daily basis on

321
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: the streets driving. But it's good for if you're ever

322
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: in an accident, or you just need some reassurance that

323
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: if something happens to your car, you've got a license

324
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: plate there. Good question, Raymond, Thanks so much for that.

325
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: Let's see can we oh one minute? Okay, let's see here.

326
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: What can I do in one minute?

327
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 6: Oh?

328
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about this cloud flare outage. We

329
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: had this giant outage this week on Tuesday. This was

330
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: all related to cloud flare. You probably haven't heard of

331
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: that name, but it's basically a company that helps the

332
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: Internet run. It helps major websites stay safe and stay fast.

333
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: They uploaded a file to their system that just took

334
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: down their entire system because that file kept doubling in

335
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: size and it just crashed all their servers. So a

336
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: lot of these companies that relied on cloud Flare, they

337
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: were seeing error messages, and in turn, we were seeing

338
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: error messages trying to access the Internet on Tuesday. It

339
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: was not a security issue. It was not cybersecurity related.

340
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: It was not a hack. Cloud Flare wants us to

341
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: know that. But the bigger issue here is that because

342
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: so much of the Internet is controlled by these major

343
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: cloud companies, when they go down, we feel the effects

344
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: in a much bigger way than we ever did before.

345
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight rich one oh one eight eight seven

346
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Coming up, we'll

347
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: tell you about the worst passwords of twenty twenty five

348
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: plus more year calls right here. We'll get to the

349
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: phone lines in just a moment, but first let's do

350
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: the gadget of the week. I thought this was interesting.

351
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: The mill. This is a high tech food recycling device

352
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: for your kitchen. It's being developed by Matt Rogers, the

353
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: creator of the Nest thermostat, which we love, and now

354
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: he wants to sort of reinvent how we handle food waste.

355
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of companies. When I've gone

356
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: to these trade shows, I've seen a lot of basically

357
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: smart garbage cans that do this, but nobody's really gotten

358
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: it right just yet, because people are just so used

359
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: to not doing anything with their food scraps except throwing

360
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: them out. Now, unless you are someone who's composting them yourself,

361
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: or you have a little compost or whatever, but this

362
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: is kind of an appliance for your home called Mill

363
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: and their entire startup, which has raised a ton of money,

364
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: is focusing on turning these kitchen scraps that you collect

365
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: into lightweight, odor free food grounds, just like you know

366
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: coffee grounds. So the device dries and grinds food waste overnight,

367
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: which can shrink forty pounds of scraps into eight pounds

368
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: of dry material. And I love this idea because my

369
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: trash can is always so filled with just stuff that

370
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it breaks down. Why should it

371
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: be thrown out? And these little grounds could be stored

372
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: for months, They could be mixed into soil used in

373
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: your gardens or mill has a service where they will

374
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: collect them for reuse. And the goal is not just

375
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: to sell people this gadget. It's also to reduce garbage

376
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: truck weight, lower collection costs, cut down diesel use, all

377
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: that good stuff for the environment. And these engineers are

378
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: treating this as people don't want food scraps in their home.

379
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 1: Who wants to have garbage sitting in their home? Who

380
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: wants to have stinky food sitting their home? So the

381
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: whole thing, the whole point of this device is how

382
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: do we eliminate any friction between people wanting this? And

383
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: there's one more side of this that's you know, it's

384
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: going to keep people from adopting it, and that's the price.

385
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: It's a thousand bucks for this trash can. So that's

386
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: a lot for a trash can. Now, if you've gotten

387
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: one of those simple human trash cans, those are expensive too,

388
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, They're like two hundred dollars. So

389
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: I am very intrigued by this device. It's you can

390
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: rent it for thirty five dollars monthly. They say tens

391
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: of thousands of homes are already using them, and the

392
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: device is simple. If you can eat it, you can

393
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: put it in the mill. And they believe that this

394
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: might be as common in homes as dishwashers. You know,

395
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: those weren't in homes where now they're in every home practically.

396
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: But anyway, I thought this was really cool. I did

397
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: test a device that's similar a couple of years ago

398
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: called Loami lm I, and this was a device that

399
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: would would that sat on your countertop. It was also

400
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: kind of expensive. Let's see how much this one is

401
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: now they're up to loam me three. Let's see two

402
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine dollars. That's three hundred and fifty

403
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: dollars off, and you have to pay per year for

404
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: a subscription. But that was a little bit more complicated

405
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: because it was smaller, but it was on your countertop,

406
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit different. This, I think seems

407
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: like a little bit of a better idea because it's

408
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: just kind of a trash can. It's like a smart

409
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: trash can. You throw your stuff in, you just let

410
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: it do its thing. Let's go to David and Costa Mesa. David,

411
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich, Good morning, sir.

412
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 5: A couple questions. One is I want to get a

413
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 5: new iPhone to seventeen nice, and do I just go

414
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 5: to Apple and buy it there? Or is like, is

415
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 5: everybody the same price, everybody's eleven hundred bucks say?

416
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: Or well, it depends on what promotions you have. But

417
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: the Apple Store, I do believe is one of the

418
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: best places to get it because their employees are sort

419
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: of impartial. They will look at the deals that you

420
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: have from your cell phone company, Like they can tap

421
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 1: into the same system that you might you know, have

422
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: at Verizon or AT and T and give you those

423
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: same deals and maybe a better deal, you know, on

424
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: trade in whatever, because you're going with your carrier. So

425
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: I would always say the Apple Store is a great

426
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: place to buy it because those folks know a lot.

427
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: They know the ins and outs of the phone and

428
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: all of the deals from across the carriers.

429
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 5: Good good, okay. And the second part is when I

430
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 5: get everything transfer over to my new phone, like I've

431
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 5: done all these things that you've recommended, Let's say, for security,

432
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 5: do this, turn this on, turn this off, blah blah blah.

433
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 5: Is that all going to automatically go over when it

434
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 5: switches over to I need to do it all over again.

435
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: Almost all of your settings will carry over the iPhone

436
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: when it goes. When you transfer an old iPhone to

437
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: a new iPhone, it's almost as if you just took

438
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: the drive out of that old phone and popped it

439
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: in the new one. It's almost mirrored from the old one. Now,

440
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: there are some exceptions to that, and Apple does sometimes

441
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: reset a few of the settings or they may not

442
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: carry over. But I would say ninety nine point nine

443
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: percent of the stuff on your old phone it's almost

444
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: seamless to the new device, which is really cool. Now

445
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: they do add some new things on the new device,

446
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: like some new apps and stuff. If you haven't updated

447
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: to iOS twenty six, you'll find some new things there

448
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: and new options. But I think overall you're going to

449
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: find when was the last time you updated your iPhone

450
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: to a new one?

451
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 5: I have the I think the fourteen Okay.

452
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: So it's only been three years. But I think that

453
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of that stuff's going to follow over.

454
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: I would say, before you go and you bring this in,

455
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: make sure you do a full backup of it. That way,

456
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: if anything doesn't carry over, you can always do that

457
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: that process again, or you can just look at your

458
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: old device or your old backup and get the stuff

459
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: that you need from there. Are you going to be

460
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: trading in this old device?

461
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 3: Yes?

462
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so is it in good shape?

463
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

464
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 5: So I think it's like three fifty or four hundred bucks.

465
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so and some of these, you know, these trade

466
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: in values could be higher if you go through your carrier.

467
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: The Apple Store will walk you through it. Like basically,

468
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: there's one trade in value if you sell it direct

469
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: to Apple, but there's another if you do a trade

470
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: in with your carrier. Because the reasoning is that your

471
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: carrier wants you to stay with them, and so they're

472
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: giving you more money for your phone. But what they

473
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: do is they kind of spread it out over the

474
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: next two or three years just because they want you

475
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: to stick with them. So my advice on that angle

476
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: is that if you're if you're happy with your carrier

477
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: and you know you're paying a premium for your phone.

478
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: You know you're paying one hundred dollars a month for

479
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: your Verizon Unlimited plan or your AT and T versus

480
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: something like a visible or a mint. If you're happy

481
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: with that and you're fine with that, take the discount.

482
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: If you're going to stick with them for the next

483
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: two or three years because you're almost putting losing money

484
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: if you're not doing that now, Yes, it will lock

485
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 1: you into that carrier and that expensive plan, But if

486
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that anyway, why not? That's my theory

487
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: on that. So don't be scared to take the If

488
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: they say, hey, we can give you a new iPhone

489
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: for eleven hundred dollars off if you stick with Verizon

490
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: or whatever, AIGHTE and T or T Mobile for the

491
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: next two to three years, you know, I say, why not?

492
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: If you're happy with your service, you're not going to switch.

493
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: Why not do that anyway? David, good question there in

494
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: Costa Mesa. I know a lot of people are gonna

495
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: be upgrading this season. Apple is doing their Apple never

496
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: puts stuff on sale. Ever, you'll never find a sale

497
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: in Apple products through Apple. Third parties will do that.

498
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: But what Apple does maybe twice a year Black Friday

499
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: and then Back to School. They will typically do a

500
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: bonus with purchase. So right now you can get up

501
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: to a two hundred and fifty dollars gift card with

502
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: your purchase of a device. So iPhone, if you buy

503
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: an iPhone. Interesting, it's only on the sixteens, so iPhone

504
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: sixteen or sixteen E. They'll get up to a seventy

505
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: five dollars gift card, I Pad a to one hundred

506
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: dollars gift card, Mac up to two hundred and fifty

507
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: dollars gift card, Apple Watch up to a fifty dollars

508
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: gift card. That's pretty good if you buy a series

509
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: eleven and then AirPods TV. But here's the thing. If

510
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: you're buying one of these gadgets, like if you're buying

511
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: like the AirPods or the AirPods Max, you don't even

512
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: need to go through Apple. What Amazon does? They look

513
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: at the price, the difference in what Apple's giving you.

514
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: So let's say the Apple Watch series eleven. Apple's giving

515
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: you a fifty dollars gift card that typically costs four

516
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. What does Amazon do? I can guarantee you

517
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: right now, if I go to Amazon's website and I

518
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: look up Apple Watch Series eleven, I guarantee you they're

519
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: selling it for three forty nine out the door. Let's see, Uh, okay, well,

520
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: little wrong, they're selling it for three seventy nine. But

521
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: maybe the sales haven't started. But my point is what

522
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: Amazon typically does is they monitor all the other deals

523
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: out there and they just kind of match them with

524
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: their pricing. Eight to eight rich one oh one eight

525
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two for one zero one.

526
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: We'll take more of your calls next and I will

527
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: tell you the top password of twenty twenty five. It's

528
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: a bad one. Plus, I've got the trends in younger users,

529
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: older users, and how you can protect yourself by doing

530
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: the right thing with your passwords right here on rich

531
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: on Tech. Let's go to Erica in Corona, Erica. You're

532
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: on with rich.

533
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 6: Hi, Rich, thank you for taking my call. I am

534
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 6: not too savvy when it comes to my email on

535
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 6: my iPhone, but I need to know. I this has

536
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 6: happened twice where I send an email not to a

537
00:26:54,840 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 6: friend or family, but then a few days late or

538
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 6: I get the same email I spent with a follow

539
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 6: up tab on the email.

540
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 7: What does that mean?

541
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 6: Who spends that email?

542
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: That is a feature are using? Did you mention what

543
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: you're using? Is that Gmail? I'm guessing.

544
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 6: No, I'm not sure what I'm using is in my

545
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 6: iPhone email?

546
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: What's your email address?

547
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: Well?

548
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: I mean, sorry, don't don't tell me. I mean, is

549
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: it Gmail? Is it Yahoo?

550
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 6: It's not a email?

551
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 8: Is that.

552
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 9: iCloud?

553
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: Okay? So I think so this this feature is okay.

554
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: So Gmail has this feature it's called nudges, and then

555
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: Apple Mail they have it as well, and I believe

556
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: it's part of Apple Intelligence. I don't use Apple Mail,

557
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: so I don't see this. But I think what's happening

558
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: is it is basically reminding you to write or kind

559
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: of follow up with this message because nothing happened. So

560
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm guessing these are happening on messages that someone didn't

561
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: reply to in a timely manner.

562
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 6: So okay, even if I didn't market as doing that,

563
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 6: or it just happens automatically.

564
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: Right exactly. So I think I think that's what's happening. Now,

565
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: i'd have to look in the settings to see where

566
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: you can turn that off. I'm sure it's in the mail.

567
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can go into the mail app.

568
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to go into my settings here, let's go

569
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: into apps and mail. So you don't like getting these, huh, Well, I.

570
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 6: Dude, it doesn't bother me. It's just that I don't

571
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 6: know it's not worth an email coming.

572
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody's nobody's looking at your messages or anything like that.

573
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: So it's just a reminder to say, hey, you know something,

574
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: you know you you basically you sent this email a

575
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, nobody replied do you want to

576
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: follow up or do you want to kind of look

577
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: at it just to see And these things kind of

578
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: help me. I have the same thing in Gmail and

579
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I forgot I sent that email. Let

580
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: me follow up at that person because they never wrote

581
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: me back. So I'm looking in here, and if I

582
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: look in the Apple Intelligence suggestions, so show an app. Okay,

583
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: So I think what it's doing is it's let's see

584
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: if there's a way to turn this off. I'm not sure.

585
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: I see that swipe options, ask before privacy. Oh there

586
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: it is messages right there. You can turn it off

587
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: in settings apps Mail, and then follow up suggestions, you

588
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: can turn it off there. So if you go if

589
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: you don't want these things, if they're really bugging you, Erica,

590
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: you can just turn them off in the settings. And

591
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: if you're on Gmail and you're seeing these same nudges,

592
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: it's called nudges. So if you go into Gmail, and

593
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: you go into settings and just search nudges. You'll see

594
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: it says suggest emails to reply to, suggest emails to

595
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: follow up on Erica if they don't bug you, nobody's

596
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: scanning your mail, nobody's looking at your mail. This is

597
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: just an AI feed mature that Apple has built in

598
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: to help you stay on top of emails that you

599
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: might have forgotten about. Great question today, Thanks so much

600
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: for the call. All Right, America's top password of twenty

601
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: twenty five is drum roll please. I'm just seeing how

602
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: fast Adam can do this. Adam is in for Bobo.

603
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: There we go.

604
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: That was.

605
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: The top password of twenty twenty five is admin. This

606
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: is according to nord pass, who scanned all the passwords

607
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: that are you know out there on the open web

608
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: two hundred most common passwords their annual list, Admin is

609
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: number one. Guess what number two is? You already know

610
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: it is password number one two three four five one two, three, four,

611
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: five six are top picks no matter how old you are.

612
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: Younger users rarely use names in their passwords, but older

613
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: users are more likely used names. Most popular names include Veronica, Maria,

614
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: and Susannah. So if those are in your password right now,

615
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: as you hear me saying this, you got to change

616
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: your password. Globally, one, two, three, four, five six remains

617
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: the most common password now. There is an increase in

618
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: special characters this year, but most are still pretty weak

619
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: patterns like password with instead of an A, it would

620
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: be an AT sign or instead of a W, or

621
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: a zero sorry instead of an O, it'd be a zero.

622
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: Let's see. Experts warn that week and you've reused passwords

623
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: fuel about eighty percent of data breaches. Nord Pass says

624
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: password habits have improved not really much over the years,

625
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: despite years of education, people like me yelling into microphones

626
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: for years saying please use a strong password. Now we

627
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: have these pass keys, but people aren't really using those

628
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: as much because they're they feel like they don't really

629
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: know how they work. I really, I mean I use them.

630
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: I've set them up for a couple of my websites,

631
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: but since I still have to do two factor authentication,

632
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, how's that any easier than just use my

633
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: password manager? So here are the safety tips. Strong unique

634
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: password for every account that you have. Use a password manager.

635
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: Bitwarden is completely free. You can use that or use

636
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: one that you find that you like. I don't care

637
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: if it's one password, I don't care if it's Google passwords.

638
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: You can even use Apple passwords, even though I do

639
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: not like things that don't work across all platforms. Try

640
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: using Apple passwords. If you switch to an Android phone,

641
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: not going to happen. So all your passwords are going

642
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: to be locked up into Apple. You got to figure

643
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: out how to get them into Google, which you can.

644
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: You can export them, but it's kind of a pain.

645
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: Dash Lane also a very good password manager. Just pick

646
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: one and start using it. And I know it's scary

647
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: to start using these password managers, but once you get

648
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: the hang of it, it's actually really fun because you

649
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: feel more secure. So today, go through download one of

650
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: these things. Sign up. The main thing to know about

651
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: the password manager on your phone is you have to

652
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: go into the settings and make sure that you choose

653
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: just that password manager on your device, whether it's iPhone

654
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: or Android, and on your computer download the extension for

655
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: your browser. But once you set that up, your password

656
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: manager basically springs into action when you tap in the

657
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: password field on any device that you're working on, and

658
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: it'll say, do you want us to suggest a strong password, yes,

659
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: and then it saves it in the password manager. The

660
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: next time you go to that app and you go

661
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: to log in, it remembers the website, so it kind

662
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: of pairs them together on the back end, and next

663
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: time you go to that website, it says, oh, do

664
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: you want us to put this password in that you

665
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: made for this past this website? And it's pretty easy. Yes.

666
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: Does it take a little bit longer sometimes? Absolutely, That's

667
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: the whole point. Once you three four five six, you

668
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: reuse those passwords everywhere hacker gets access to one, they're

669
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: going to use it across all different websites. Eight to eight,

672
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: We've got Nathan Burrow, senior deals editor at Wirecutter. He's

673
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: going to talk about the holiday shopping season, some of

674
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 1: the best tested gifts and ways to save. Let's see here,

675
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: got a question here from email from Phil Can you

676
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: recommend the most senior friendly way to help a senior

677
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: scan documents then archive or send them to others. I've

678
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: tried explaining scanning with the iPhone notes app and Genius Scan.

679
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: Both can be confusing. The biggest challenge seems to be

680
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: attaching the scan file afterwards. Any recommendations for a simple

681
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: point and shoot scan method, Phil, Yes, Phil. If the

682
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: phone is updated to iOS twenty six, you can use

683
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: the new Preview app that is for viewing PDFs, editing PDFs,

684
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: and scanning PDFs. It makes it so easy. Open the

685
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: Preview app, tap the big scan documents button, and then

686
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: once you scan, there's a little share icon. It's that

687
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: square with the arrow pointing out of it. Just tap

688
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: that and then choose who you want your recipient to be.

689
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: You can choose your email, your messaging, whatever you want.

690
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: That's really it. I mean, there's a million ways to

691
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: do this on the iPhone, but they've built in the

692
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: simplest way, and that's that new Preview app. So if

693
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: you ever need to fill out a PDF, or sign

694
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: a PDF, or scan a PDF or view a PDF,

695
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: it's all in that app. Let's go to Jeff and

696
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: Newport Beach. What's up, Jeff? Hey, that's gone, it's going well.

697
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 4: Hopefully this is hopefully this is.

698
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 2: An easy one, so real fast background.

699
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 10: I'm on my second iPhone.

700
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: The first one was.

701
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: A fifteen Promax and now I'm on the seventeen promax.

702
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 2: I think I had this problem on my fifteen. Somehow

703
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 2: I fixed it, but I don't remember what I did,

704
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: because the problem is when I hear a song, I

705
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: use shazam, and I shazam it. The song comes up

706
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: and I save it to a playlist that I created

707
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: in Apple Music. Okay, And in Apple Music, I.

708
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 4: Think in the fifteen it had this problem.

709
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: I fixed it because it only came.

710
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 3: Up and put the song in there once.

711
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 2: Well, now I see the song in there twice for

712
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: every single song on my playlist. I'm thinking it's a

713
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: sink problem somewhere, but I don't know.

714
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: So there is an option when you are making playlists

715
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: on Apple Music to add the same song twice, Like

716
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: it'll say, do you want us to add duplicates or

717
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: do you not want to add duplicates? Okay? So the

718
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: question is where to find that setting. So when you're

719
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: adding this song, you're adding it into two separate playlists

720
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: or the same playlist, the exact same playlist, okay, And

721
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: it's adding it again even if it's already in that.

722
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: If I go back to the way I noticed it is,

723
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: you know, the music playing and all of a sudden,

724
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: the song plays twice.

725
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, why is it playing twice?

726
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: And then I finally look at the playlist in every

727
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 2: single song and probably the ones that I've done, even

728
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: when I had the iPhone fifteen, but every single song

729
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: is duplicated twice.

730
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so I think it's well, you mean

731
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: it's duplicated twice every time, or it's it because you're

732
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: adding it twice.

733
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: No, it's like it's like, you know ABC song, You'll

734
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: see ABC song twice.

735
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting. It sounds like something. Are you using

736
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: Apple Music like you pay for it? I'm gonna say, yes, Okay,

737
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: how do you not know? I am who's paying your bills? Jeff?

738
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: Well, no, well I don't pay attention to it. You know,

739
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: the Apple charges you for this and that and everything else.

740
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: So it's like I'm gonna say the answer is yes.

741
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: Okay. I'm gonna say okay. So here's the thing I'm

742
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: looking in the the Apple Music and this. Have you

743
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: tried this on your computer to see if you get

744
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: the same problem?

745
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 3: No?

746
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: Okay, do you have a Mac computer or no?

747
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: No, just you know the regular windows.

748
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so I believe they have Apple Music on Windows.

749
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: They they a separate app because obviously they have I

750
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: don't know actually, but on my Mac, my stuff all

751
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: sinks over with the iPhone. So I'm looking at this

752
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 1: and hmm, okay, let's see here. I'm looking for any

753
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: sort of option that says to to duplicate or not duplicate.

754
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: What I would say is, have you tried, let's see

755
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: there's a there's an option to kind of like sync

756
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: your entire library again, have you tried signing out and

757
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: signing back in?

758
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: No?

759
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: Okay, let me see if that's an option on here,

760
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: because I know with iPhone everything's sort of like tied

761
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: together with it. Yeah, I'm not I'm not seeing okay,

762
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing an option that has anything to do

763
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: with duplicates right now. Like it's weird because on iPhone

764
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: you have to go into the settings to find the options,

765
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: and in the app it's just a weird way they

766
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: set things up. So let me see here. Music. Okay,

767
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: so they've got search, add playlist songs. Okay, that might

768
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: be it. I'm wondering if that's it. Okay. What I

769
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: would do is, here's what I would do, just to

770
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: see if you can get this to stop. But I

771
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: would go into the settings on your iPhone and you

772
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 1: have to go into settings, app Apps and then music, okay,

773
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: and then in there you're gonna see an option for library.

774
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: It says add playlist songs and then add favorite songs.

775
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: So maybe try toggling those off and see if that

776
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: if the problem still happens, and then you can toggle

777
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: them back on if it doesn't. The other thing you

778
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: can do is click that sync library, maybe turn that

779
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: off and then turn it back on, like turn it off,

780
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: restart your phone, turn it back on, and see if

781
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: that helps. I'm just I don't see anything specifically dealing

782
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: with the same songs inside the playlist, which, yeah, it's

783
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: kind of that's a that's a tricky one. I know.

784
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: I do know that when I make a playlist, it

785
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: will say do you want the same song? If you

786
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: drag it in twice, it will it will give you

787
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: an option of do you want the same song in

788
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: there twice or not? But otherwise that's a that's a

789
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: tricky one, Jeff, I think you're gonna have to to

790
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: look around in those settings. I don't I don't have

791
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: an immediate answer for you if that doesn't work, you know,

792
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: you can go to the Apple store and ask them

793
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: make an appointment. See what they say. It could just

794
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: be yeah, it just sounds like there's something going on

795
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: there that I it. Yeah, that's weird. That's a weird one.

796
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Appreciate it. Eight eight eight rich

797
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: one oh one eight eight eight seven four to two

798
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: four one zero one. I will continue to investigate that

799
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: because I'm curious now. Uh, I told you this on

800
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 1: my newsletter. I thought this was so cool. We talked

801
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: about this last week, the Amazon autobi thing. So this

802
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: is the feature on Amazon where if you go to

803
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: an item on your phone, you tap that little rufus

804
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: Ai icon you say, set a price alert. You can

805
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: have Amazon automatically place the order for you when the

806
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: product reaches the price that you want. So it's almost

807
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: like price line, like name your own price. But obviously,

808
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: you know Amazon prices change all the time, and if

809
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: you're not sitting at your computer looking at that item

810
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: when the price changes, you may not know. So they

811
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: have this price alert feature, which now you may be saying,

812
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: why would Amazon do this, why would they give people

813
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: this ability? Well, it's going to convert more sales. That's

814
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: the bottom line. So long story short, I put this

815
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: power strip. I wanted the super Danny power strip. It's

816
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: got like a million outlets and all this stuff on it.

817
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: And I put that in my price alert, and I said,

818
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: you know what, this thing's twenty five dollars. Let me

819
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: see if you can get it to me for twenty

820
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: and so I set my price alert for under twenty dollars.

821
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning and lo and behold, I

822
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: got an email from Amazon saying your order has been placed.

823
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: Sure item was under twenty dollars. It fell to nineteen

824
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: ninety nine, so we automatically placed your order. And I

825
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: was like, wait what. It took me a second to

826
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: remember that I placed this autobi alert. But pretty cool.

827
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: So if you want to try this yourself, you have

828
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 1: to do it on the Amazon app on your mobile device.

829
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: Just search for an item, any item, and once you

830
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: have an item on your screen, just tap that little

831
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: rufous icon in the lower right hand corner. It looks

832
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: like AI, that little sparkly AI thing, and then just

833
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: say to rufus, set a price alert, and that will

834
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: give you options to get just a price alert, or

835
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: there's an option to actually have Amazon auto buy the

836
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: item for you. So it worked. It did exactly what

837
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: I wanted it to. And I don't know. I'm a

838
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: believer now because there's so many things I'm watching the

839
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: price on on Amazon. I'll buy it. I just would

840
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: like the price to be a little bit better. If

841
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: it goes on sale for fifty dollars less, I'd like

842
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: to buy it at that price. And it also gives

843
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: you the historic pricing so you can better set your price.

844
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: Eight to eight rich one oh one eight eight eight

845
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Coming up,

846
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about the new service that makes it

847
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: so that you can clip all those digital grocery coupons

848
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: in your grocery store app automatically. That's really cool. Plus

851
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: to the phone lines, go to Richard in Malibu. You're

852
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: on with rich Hetty.

853
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 11: How are you?

854
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 5: Thanks for taking my call?

855
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely? What's up?

856
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 11: I have an Apple phone and I want to know

857
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 11: why is it that even though I'll turn Bluetooth thoff,

858
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 11: I'll come back and somehow magically it turned itself back on.

859
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 5: How can I prevent that? Why won't my setting stay.

860
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 11: In the off position?

861
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 5: And it's the same thing with the Wi Fi.

862
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So here's the deal. There are two ways

863
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: to turn off Wi Fi and Bluetooth on the iPhone.

864
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: When you swipe down from the upper right hand corner,

865
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: that brings up what's called the control center. When you

866
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: tap the Wi Fi off or you tap the Bluetooth off,

867
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: it is not turning off Wi Fi or Bluetooth on

868
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: your phone completely. It's just turning off that immediate connection

869
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: that you have right now, and certain devices may turn

870
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: it back on, and certain Wi Fi networks may toggle

871
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: it back on when it comes into contact with those.

872
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: So the reason for that is because Apple realize that

873
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: people will turn off their Wi Fi or turn off

874
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: their Bluetooth and forget to turn it back on. So

875
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: they have some provisions in place for the phone to

876
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: smartly reactivate it when it thinks it should do that.

877
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: And that may be when let's just say, let's say

878
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: you get to work in the morning and you hate

879
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: your WiFi at work, and so you go on the

880
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: right you swipe down and you tap the little WiFi

881
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: to turn it off at work well. Then when you

882
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: get home you love your WiFi, your phone recognizes that

883
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: you got home, and it magically turns that Wi Fi

884
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: back on and connects to your home network because it

885
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: realized that when you turned it off, you probably just

886
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: wanted it off for a certain amount of time. Now,

887
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: this can cause some issues. It can also cause some confusion.

888
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: If you want to really turn off the Wi Fi

889
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: and the Bluetooth on your iPhone until you turn it

890
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: back on, you have to go into settings, and that's

891
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: how you can turn it off completely. And that means

892
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: your phone, the Wi Fi and Bluetooth on your phone

893
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: is not in a dormant state. It is an off state.

894
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: And so if you go into settings and you go

895
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: to Wi Fi right now because I just tapped it off,

896
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: in the control center says not connected. But then there's

897
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: a toggle switch and if I tap that toggle switch,

898
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: it will turn off my WiFi indefinitely until I turn

899
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: it back on again. Same thing with Bluetooth. You can

900
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: turn it off for you know, indefinite amounts of time. Now,

901
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: once you do that, invariably, you will forget to turn

902
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: it back On's that's why Apple came up with the

903
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: other system. And by the way, the Android side of

904
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,959
Speaker 1: things is the same way, and so that's just more

905
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: for ease of use. Most of the time people are

906
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: forgetting that they're turning these off turning them on, and

907
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: so you're most of the time just toggling off that

908
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: connection for a period of time before your phone decides

909
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: to turn it back on. And that's why you're seeing that. Richard,

910
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: great question. Thanks for the call today. Do you appreciate it.

911
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: Let's see here, let's do we have time to go

912
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: to another one. We'll see Mitch in Littleton. You're on

913
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: with rich Mitch, you're on.

Speaker 7: With rich.

Speaker 1: Thank you.

918
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a maybe it's self answered. I recently

919
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 3: have last year or so lost to relatives passed away

920
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 3: and they one had a Apple excuse me, Apple lap

921
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 3: laptop and the other had a lapp Apple notebook and

922
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 3: needed one of them left there. They're password they had

923
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 3: password protected. Is there absolutely no way I can get

924
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 3: into the to utilize them myself?

925
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 1: Or yeah? I mean, do you want to use their

926
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: information or just the computer?

927
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 3: Just yeah, just the computer. Okay, I update up date

928
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 3: the apps, you know, and I he neither one them

929
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 3: or anything that I need. You know, their information, their

930
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 3: data is not uh, you know, not emergency relevant or anything.

931
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: Okay. So there's there's a couple of things you can do.

932
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: You can get in touch with Apple if you go

933
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: to their support page, which I'll link up on the

934
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: UH on the show notes, you can. So all Apple

935
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,479
Speaker 1: products have what's called an activation lock, So you could

936
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: I could tell you directions on how to format that

937
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: computer and get it back to factory. But when you

938
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: go to set up that computer, it's going to say, hey,

939
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: we noticed that this computer is registered to this person,

940
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: and by the way, I'm sorry for your loss. But

941
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 1: it's going to say their email address or their account number,

942
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: or their their Apple I D is going to say, hey,

943
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: can you put in their password to unlo this computer.

944
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: It's not going to unlock their data, but it's just

945
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: going to allow you to kind of take control of

946
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: that computer. That's called activation lock, and so if you

947
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: don't have their password, you're not gonna be able to

948
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: get past that when you format this computer and reset it.

949
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: Now you can request from Apple help with that and

950
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: if you show them a death certificate or a reason

951
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: there's I don't know what the exact it's generally it's

952
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: a death certificate. So if you have that for these people,

953
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: you can send that to Apple and they will help

954
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: you remove that activation lock as long as you can

955
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: prove a couple of things. I've never gone through this process,

956
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: so I can't tell you exactly how tough or how

957
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: easy it is. But if you have this computer, you've

958
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: got the information, I would say it's in your best

959
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: interest to contact Apple and just say, hey, here's the situation.

960
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: Can I get this activation lock removed? They will remove that,

961
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: and then once they have it removed, you can go

962
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: through and set up that computer as new and then

963
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: use it, but you will not have access to their information.

964
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: If you want access their information, then it would take

965
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: a much larger request to Apple. That typically requires a

966
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: core order or some sort of legal documentation to get

967
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: that done, and I'm not even sure that's a guarantee

968
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,959
Speaker 1: for the rest of you. Please set up what's called

969
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 1: a legacy contact access key. You can do it on Apple,

970
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: you can do it on Facebook, you can do it

971
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: on Google. It basically allows someone to access your account

972
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: in the in the When You If You Die, basically

973
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: eighty eight rich one oh one. We're going to talk

974
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: Black Friday deals. Coming up next, We've got Nathan Burrow,

975
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: senior deals editor at Wirecutter. He's going to talk about

976
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 1: the holiday shopping season, some of the best tested gifts.

977
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: It's only been a couple of days. I know Amazon

978
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 1: started on the twentieth, so it's you know, once they start,

979
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: it's like you got to be in it.

980
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 9: Absolutely. Amazon kind of leads the dance for these holiday

981
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 9: sale events, and you'll see a lot of other major

982
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 9: retailers start their sales around the same time when Amazon

983
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 9: goes live with theirs early, as they did this year.

984
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 12: So we're seeing a lot of sales from all over

985
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 12: the place, and we're going.

986
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 9: To see even more next week.

987
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 12: We're looking forward to seeing some some sales from smaller

988
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 12: direct consumer you know, retailers next week.

989
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 9: That's when we're likely to see those.

990
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: My advice is literally to not shop until this week

991
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 1: for the whole year, because any company that you want

992
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 1: to buy something from, it is going to be on sale.

993
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about this mill. This thing is gadget.

994
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: It's like a thousand dollars trash can that like composts

995
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: your stuff it's on sale. I mean anything you go

996
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: to any website, they're going to be I use jopform

997
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: for some of my emails, you know, like people they

998
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: email me like, hey, do you want sixty percent off

999
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: for the year. It's like, it's just no matter what

1000
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: if you're a website or a product or service, you're

1001
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: going to be putting your stuff on sale this week.

1002
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: But how do you know if it's a good deal

1003
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: or not one?

1004
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 9: You know, just make sure that you're not following sort

1005
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:05,959
Speaker 9: of the hype train.

1006
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 12: I think that you know, retailers are going to tell

1007
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 12: you that the deals are incredible.

1008
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 9: They're incentivized to make every discount sound amazing.

1009
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 12: So I like using trackers to sort of determine just

1010
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 12: how good a deal.

1011
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 9: Is relative to its price history.

1012
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 12: There are third party price trackers like Kipa and Camel

1013
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 12: Camel Camel that lets you track Amazon prices and Amazon

1014
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 12: matches pretty much everyone, so you can get a sense

1015
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 12: of what the what the prices are at other retailers

1016
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 12: as well using tools like that.

1017
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: Okay, so here and you may not have the answer

1018
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: to this question, but like, where do you track prices

1019
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: or compare prices for products that are not on Amazon? Like,

1020
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: let's just say I'm looking up a dice in vacuum, right, Like,

1021
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: where do I go to compare that price from a

1022
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: bunch of retailers?

1023
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 9: Absolutely in house, we compare it to our own history.

1024
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 12: But of course a lot of people don't have the

1025
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 12: benefit of having posted fifty thousand deals. So what I

1026
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 12: would recommend is there is an old school Internet tool

1027
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 12: called the wayback Machine.

1028
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 9: It's part of a website called the Internet.

1029
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 12: Archive, and you can go and what you'll find is

1030
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 12: screen caps of various retailers that people have taken over

1031
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 12: the years. That gives you an idea of the trajectory

1032
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 12: of pricing, because there'll be a screen cap of you know,

1033
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 12: a washing machine in July twenty twenty four for a

1034
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 12: fourth of July sale, and you'll be able to compare

1035
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 12: that to the price that you see.

1036
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 1: Now, what about something like Google Shopping or Yahoo's Shopping.

1037
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I was looking at Google Shopping and it

1038
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: seems like I think they don't include Amazon.

1039
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 3: Is that?

1040
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: And is everything on Google Shopping sort of like pay

1041
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: to play? Like is all their information like just advertisers

1042
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: or what Well.

1043
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 9: It's not entirely pay to play.

1044
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 12: I think, you know, we can safely assume that that

1045
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 12: Google is going to be sort of self self dealing

1046
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 12: when it comes to the results that you see there.

1047
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 12: As you mentioned, Amazon is not included among those results.

1048
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 12: A lot of major retailers that are not included among

1049
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 12: those results, and so it is to your benefit to

1050
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 12: go and to either do a more refined search than

1051
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 12: just the product name that includes the name of the

1052
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 12: retailer that you're trying to get information on that will

1053
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 12: generally actually produce a result, or just go to the

1054
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 12: retailer directly to verify.

1055
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 9: It has gotten harder though, with Google shopping.

1056
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: What's an underrated tech gift that you can recommend?

1057
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 12: One underrated tech gift that our staffers are just loving

1058
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 12: is somewhat counterintuitively, the Netview bird fi feeder. It is

1059
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 12: a smart bird feeder with a camera inside, and everybody

1060
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 12: on the Wirecutter staff is buying it for their parents,

1061
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 12: like a lot of us have, you know, aging parents,

1062
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 12: You know, so many of us do, and they love

1063
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 12: the fact that they can check out birds as they

1064
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 12: feed up close, you know, with this little camera it

1065
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 12: comes with a solar panel, the one we recommend, so.

1066
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 9: They don't have to go and take it down and

1067
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 9: charge it periodically. And so it's kind of a cool,

1068
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 9: cool little thing for wildlife enthusiasts.

1069
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: That's really I've got two of these at my place

1070
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: right now to set up because you know, I've I've

1071
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: heard about them, I've seen them. I think it's cool.

1072
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm curious, and you know, they snap pictures of the

1073
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: birds and text it to you. I mean, it sounds

1074
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 1: cool and it seems cool. But anyway, I haven't tested

1075
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: them just yet, so I'll have more to say on those,

1076
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: and you know, a couple of months once I get

1077
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: through those. Let's see what else here. Apple and Android

1078
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: those are always like Apple stuff. What's the deal with

1079
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: discounts on that?

1080
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 9: So Apple stuff is pretty good.

1081
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 12: I would say that a lot of sales are probably

1082
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 12: as low as we're going to see them, which is

1083
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 12: to say, we're seeing deals on MacBooks, We're seeing deals

1084
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 12: on iPads, We're seeing deals on the newest Apple watches.

1085
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 9: Android tones are also on sale, as are Android tablets.

1086
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 9: You know, we don't we sort of recommend Android tablets,

1087
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 9: but certainly we think the iPad probably divides the best

1088
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 9: tablet experience. iPhones aren't really on sale, and that's pretty typical.

1089
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 9: iPhones tend to really only be discounted as part of

1090
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 9: promotions that are related to service providers. They aren't that

1091
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 9: well discounted any other time.

1092
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: Now. I love the Wirecutter, by the way, So I'm

1093
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: always on looking at things that you guys are rating

1094
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: and the reviews and all that stuff. So what do

1095
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: you think sets you apart from you know, people see recommendations.

1096
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: I'm putting my fingers in air quotes right now all

1097
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: over the web. What can you give us a little

1098
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: insight into kind of like what makes Wirecutter different and

1099
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: what we should look forward to trust, Like, there's so

1100
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: much advertorial out there now where literally people will send

1101
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: me a website that is one hundred percent set up

1102
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: just to sell them a product, and they're saying, hey, Rich,

1103
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: what do you think about this review? Like that's not

1104
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: a review, it's literally just an ad yep.

1105
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 9: One.

1106
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,720
Speaker 12: The main thing that really set where our Cutter part

1107
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 12: is that we are comprised of experts in the various

1108
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 12: sort of product categories that we cover, and we actually

1109
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 12: test the stuff. We spend a lot of time testing

1110
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 12: products in our homes in sort of real world use.

1111
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 9: We spend time at our office in New York.

1112
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 12: We have testing days where all the staffers can go

1113
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 12: in and test products. We have panels, diverse panels of

1114
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 12: testers that come in and test them. We have kids

1115
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 12: come in and test our picks for kids, and so

1116
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 12: these we were able to listit these actual insights about

1117
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 12: the products from people who have used them, filter that

1118
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 12: through our expertise, and really produce recommendations that are meaningful

1119
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 12: for people. And I would say that even our coverage

1120
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,240
Speaker 12: of Black Friday, our coverage of Prime Day, our coverage

1121
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 12: of pre Christmas sales. Like my team, the deal's team

1122
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 12: at Wirecutter is part of the editorial team, and we

1123
00:56:55,880 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 12: hold ourselves to really strict standards. Nothing makes the Deals

1124
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 12: page that doesn't qualify with our pretty strict rubric for

1125
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 12: the things that need to go up so d during

1126
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 12: an event like this, we're really only posting the best

1127
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 12: of the best, deal wise, and it's also on stuff

1128
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 12: that has been expert vetted and recommended, and so.

1129
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 9: Basically you're getting great value on great products.

1130
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's got to be And by the way, it's

1131
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: wirecutter dot com. Check out the Black Friday coverage. They

1132
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: literally do such a great job with sourcing these deals

1133
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: and making sure it's stuff that's all not just a deal,

1134
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: but also like they recommend it in their testing. So

1135
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: I love that. But Nathan, I've also I've read this article.

1136
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many websites now they're like ten

1137
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: best baby strollers, But if you read it really closely,

1138
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: they're not even testing the items. They're literally just looking

1139
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: at the number of reviews on Amazon and just coming

1140
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: up with a list based on that. Can you do

1141
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: you believe that's true?

1142
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 12: Yes, I mean a lot of sites out out there

1143
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 12: do not get the products in person. And I would

1144
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 12: add that we you know, we pay for the products

1145
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 12: that we test and and then donate them. It's it's

1146
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 12: not something where we're receiving you know, sample items, you

1147
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 12: know gratus and you know are somehow incentivized to provide

1148
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 12: a good review. As a result, a lot of these

1149
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 12: sites are using Amazon reviews almost exclusively, or other reviews.

1150
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 12: We incorporate those as a data point in terms of

1151
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 12: like assessing the long term reliability of products. But but

1152
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 12: it's certainly, you know, very small compared to all of

1153
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 12: the different sort of uh you know, data points that

1154
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 12: we bring into the picture when we review something.

1155
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: All right, check it out wirecutter dot com. Bookmarket for

1156
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: the holiday season. Lots of great reviews, lots of great recommendations,

1157
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: and of course they are spending the time looking for

1158
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: the deals, so you don't have to. Nathan Burrow, thanks

1166
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: after this, Wayne is on the line.

1167
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 4: Hey, recently I bought I one plus thirteen and I'm

1168
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 4: a diehard one plus I I tried to migrate all

1169
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 4: my data from the eleven to the thirteen, and my

1170
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 4: carriers Altra Mobile recently that I sweeched out of t Mobile.

1171
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:55,479
Speaker 13: Wait, what's what's the carrier's name? Al tram Mobile Ultra Okay,

1172
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 13: got it? Yeah, and then oh the yep, as you

1173
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 13: fifty for eight gig membership, that's great. But anyway, I

1174
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 13: try to mostly as I have a lot of info

1175
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 13: on the eleven. How can I migrate all my data

1176
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 13: to the thirteen and or so to the transfer?

1177
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's pretty straightforward. How did have you set up

1178
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: the new phone yet?

1179
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 4: Not yet?

1180
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: Okay? Got it? Okay. So it's very easy, and if

1181
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: you're going one plus to one plus, it's going to

1182
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: be even easier because they are you know, they're they're

1183
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: cut from the same cloth. So all you have to

1184
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: do is number one. Back up your old phone. Make

1185
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: sure you have your data backed up. I'm talking WhatsApp,

1186
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking your Google photos, I'm talking whatever you have

1187
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: on that phone. Make sure it is backed up. However,

1188
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: you typically back things up, whether that's your Google account,

1189
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: whether that's whatever it is. And make sure WhatsApp if

1190
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: you use that specifically, go into there and make sure

1191
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: that that stuff is backed up. Then once you have

1192
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: everything backed up and your phone is one hundred percent

1193
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, in the cloud or somehow on a computer, whatever,

1194
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: then you open up the box for the new phone.

1195
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: You go through the settings and it will just flow

1196
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,919
Speaker 1: you through. It'll say Hey, welcome to this phone. Are

1197
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: you transferring from another device? And is it a one

1198
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: plus device? And you go through that, you tap yes,

1199
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: your phones. You will put them side by side wirelessly.

1200
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: They will transfer all of the data from the old

1201
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 1: phone to the new phone, and that process will take

1202
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe fifteen minutes, whatever it is. And then

1203
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: once all the data is downloaded to your new phone,

1204
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: it will say, okay, you can turn off your old

1205
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: phone whatever, and then it will then finish the process

1206
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: of downloading all of the apps to your new device,

1207
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: making sure all the settings are the same. But the

1208
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: main thing to do is not bother these phones once

1209
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: this process starts, because if you bother these phones in

1210
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the process, something's going to go wrong

1211
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: and not everything's going to transfer over. So that's the

1212
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: main thing. But if you're going one plus to one plus,

1213
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: you're going to iPhone to iPhone, you're going pixel to pixel,

1214
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: you're going Samsung to Samsung. It is so easy these

1215
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: days to migrate from one phone to another. You can

1216
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: do it so quickly and with almost no fuss. Now,

1217
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: some apps, when you get to your new phone, they'll

1218
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: they'll ask you to log in again. But your Google account,

1219
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: and all these main things that you change on the

1220
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: old device will still be there now. That also brings

1221
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: its own set of issues when you go to your

1222
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: new phone. Anything that was weird on your old phone,

1223
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: any little settings that you change that you forgot about,

1224
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: those are all going to be changed on your new device.

1225
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: So if you change something it's a little wonky on

1226
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: your old device, it might be wonky on your new device.

1227
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: That's why I prefer setting up a device as new.

1228
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: But I get that not everyone wants to do that

1229
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: because it takes longer. You gotta download everything manually, You

1230
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: got to go through all your settings, you gotta log

1231
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: into all your accounts. But there is something nice about

1232
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: setting up a phone. I call it from scratch or

1233
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: a clean install, as we used to say with computers.

1234
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: So there is something to say for that. But I

1235
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: understand most people don't do that. I'm a weirdo. I

1236
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: do that, and when I tried, I'll be house. I tried.

1237
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 1: I said, this is so easy. But I tried doing

1238
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: the iPhone to iPhone thing and nothing came over on

1239
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: my iPhone for some reason, when I switched it to

1240
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: the seventeen last time, I don't know what happened in

1241
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the transfer, but nothing. It was like

1242
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: half apps were downloaded. It was a kind of a pain.

1243
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: But that's not going to happen to you, Wayne, I

1244
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: can guarantee it. So really, all you need to do

1245
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: is open up that new phone next to the old phone,

1246
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: make sure it's charged up, and then just go through

1247
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: the process. It will ask you if you want to

1248
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: transfer everything from your old phone. You can use a

1249
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: cable too. You can plug a cable from your old

1250
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: phone into the new phone. Sometimes that's faster, but quite honestly,

1251
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: the wireless works really well nowadays. And then once you

1252
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: get that new phone, just go through and kind of

1253
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: what I do is I open up all my apps

1254
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: and just see if they're logged in, see if they're there,

1255
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: and just make sure everything's working the way I like it.

1256
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: Good question, Wayne, Good upgrade. The one plus thirteen is

1257
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: last year's device, but they just come out with the fifteen.

1258
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: But actually the camera is a little bit better on

1259
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: the thirteen.

1260
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 2: I know.

1261
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Sneaky, sneaky one plus Thanks for the call today. Eight

1262
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: to eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven

1263
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one uh you know

1264
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: how you go to the grocery store and you've got

1265
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: the grocery store app, and they've got all those coupons

1266
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: inside the app that you have to digitally clip. Well,

1267
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: if you go through those one by one, you're gonna

1268
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: spend seven hours trying to clip these digital coupons. So

1269
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: guess what nobody ever does that. It probably cliped one

1270
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: or two at the top and that's it. So this, uh,

1271
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: this extension or app or whatever you want to call it,

1272
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: it's called save wise, Get savewise dot com. They just

1273
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: came out with a new feature that will automatically clip

1274
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: all of those grocery store coupons at the same time

1275
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: inside the app. So it's a free service inside the browser.

1276
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: Extension supports more than three thousand stores, including Kroger, Safeway, Albertson's, Von's.

1277
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: If you're in southern California, Ralphs is not That's the

1278
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: first one I tried, of course, and I email the developer.

1279
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: I said, hey, it doesn't work on Ralph's. He's like, oh,

1280
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 1: that's the one store we're still working on. So they're

1281
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: working on Ralphs. But you log into your you basically

1282
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: log into your store account on your computer and then

1283
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: the little extension pops up and it says, hey, do

1284
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: you want us to clip all these coupons for you?

1285
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: And you say yeah, and it goes through like I

1286
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: had on I think it was Vonn's I did. It

1287
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: was like five hundred and seventy two coupons. It took

1288
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: about two minutes, but it does it all automatically and

1289
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: you just watch it goes ting ding ding ding ding ding,

1290
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: and then all your coupons are clips. So and then

1291
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: when you go to the store you can just buy

1292
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: the stuff that you want, and anything that has a

1293
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: coupon that's digital, it will grab that coupon and apply

1294
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: it much better than the manual way. And so Android

1295
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: this app, if you download this save wise app, which

1296
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 1: does a lot more than just this. It's kind of

1297
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: an all in one kind of shopping thing. But if

1298
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: you download the app, they've got iOS and browser extensions

1299
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: and then Android is coming soon. So if you want

1300
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: to this out, it's called get savewise dot com slash

1301
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Grocery and I'll put the link on my on my

1302
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: richon tech dot TV. It's a really cool thing because

1303
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: I love I like those digital coupons because they can't

1304
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: save you a lot of money, but no one clips them.

1305
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 1: No one does. No one can be bothered. And the

1306
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,919
Speaker 1: grocery stores know that. That's why they put a million

1307
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: of them in there. So you get bored, you you

1308
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: scroll through, you go, Okay, I'm not looking through all

01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: these products. No way. If you're a teacher, you can

1310
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: get free chat GPT for teachers through twenty twenty seven.

1311
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: I know the irony of teachers using chat GBT. Apparently

1312
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: they're some of the best customers. So if you're a teacher,

1313

1316
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: the link for the website on my rich on tech

1317
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: dot TV in the show notes. This is episode one

1318
01:06:52,960 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: back after this. Okay, so you got iPhone twelve, you've

1319
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: heard that if it's still working, I don't look. I

1320
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: talk about upgrading and getting new stuff. But if what

1321
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: you have works, do not pay a dime to get

1322
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: it upgraded. Now, I do like when people save up

1323
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: for the next thing. I do say that, like, if

1324
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: you you know the iPhone twelve. You're talking, You're gonna

1325
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: get probably another year out of it right now. Let's see,

1326
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: hold on, you have a twelve Okay, so right now,

1327
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 1: the way I go is iOS twenty six supports the

1328
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven and up, which means iOS twenty seven will

1329
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: probably support the iPhone twelve and up, which means you

1330
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: still have a good two solid years before you might,

1331
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, have to get a new one because iOS

1332
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight is probably not going to support your phone.

1333
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: So you've got like a good two years of this

1334
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 1: phone if it's still working for you. With that said,

1335
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,959
Speaker 1: the call recording is a feature that was built into

1336
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: iOS twenty six, So if you've updated your phone you

1337
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: should have that. Have you updated your phone to iOS

1338
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: twenty six?

1339
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 13: No?

1340
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: I have not, Adam, where's our just kidding? There you go? Okay,

1341
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: So if you update your phone to iOS twenty six,

1342
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: you can have the call recording. It is a feature

1343
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: that is software based in the latest iOS, and once

1344
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 1: you update your phone, when you are on a call,

1345
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: you will see what looks like a You basically have

1346
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: to tap there's like three dots on your screen, and

1347
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: then you tap that and then it'll say call recording,

1348
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: and you tap that and both people in that call

1349
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: are going to hear that tone that says this call

1350
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: is being recorded. And that's it. And you can save

1351
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 1: those calls. You can see the transcripts of them. All

1352
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 1: of your calls that are recorded are inside the notes app.

1353
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: So that's it. Now, let's see. I'm trying to see

1354
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 1: if there's a way to I don't think you can

1355
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: record every call by the fall. I don't think that's

1356
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: a let me see, is that an option. I don't

1357
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: know if that's an option. So you're gonna update your

1358
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: phone just to do this or what?

1359
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 6: Oh?

1360
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I.

1361
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 6: It was just interesting to me. I will update my phone, okay,

1362
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 6: so that I can play around with that and just

1363
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think I have a needs for it,

1364
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 6: but you know, always learning something new.

1365
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you my little hack with the

1366
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 1: call recording, and it works every single time. If you

1367
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: get a telemarketer that calls you, just literally most of

1368
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: the time it's a scam person. Like if it's like

1369
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: a cable company or someone that's legitimate, they don't really care,

1370
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: but like you could try it with them. But if

1371
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: you get like a scam call and they try to

1372
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: say like, hey, we need your credit card number, whatever

1373
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: it is you know, you get sometimes these calls get

1374
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: through if you tap that call recording, they hang up

1375
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: as soon as they hear that. Every single time. It

1376
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: is so wild. So it's like my little, my little

1377
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: hack for getting rid of these calls that you don't

1378
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: want to talk to. And then sometimes when I'm calling

1379
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: a company, if I want to take notes or something,

1380
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: and I don't want to take notes, I'll just record

1381
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: the call and once they hear that, then that's basically

1382
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 1: the call is being recorded. As long as they stay

1383
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: on the line, they're theoretically, I guess okay with that.

1384
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm not a lawyer. I don't know what the legal

1385
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: aspect of that is, but that seems to be the

1386
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: way it works. All right, Candace, thanks for the call today,

1387
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. All right, have a great day. Let's see here.

1388
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to Hugh in San Diego. Hugh, you're on

1389
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: with Rich.

1390
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 14: Hey, Rich, how are you?

1391
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing well? What is happening? Sounds like you got

1392
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: some issues with your Samsung yees, sir.

1393
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 15: So I'm looking at the home screen right now.

1394
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 14: And last week weekend.

1395
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 7: I put it on, I thought silent mode, and then

1396
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 7: I took it off. And now the four main buttons

1397
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 7: on the bottom of the phone, the messages and the

1398
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 7: email and the voice recording, those buttons are dead.

1399
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 15: And in the upper left hand corner the time, it's

1400
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 15: like like it looks like a broken digital clock with

1401
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 15: every number. But if I open an app, it'll clean

1402
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,680
Speaker 15: up and the numbers, the time will clear up, and

1403
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 15: I'll push these buttons on the bottom and.

1404
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 14: They're just like dead. They don't work at all, But

1405
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 14: every other app does open.

1406
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 1: Okay. Is it so once you open an app, does

1407
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:13,679
Speaker 1: everything look normal?

1408
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1409
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's not a screen issue, it's an actual

1410
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 1: issue with the phone, like the software. Okay, have you

1411
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 1: gone in have you done all of your software updates?

1412
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 4: Yes?

1413
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:30,559
Speaker 16: Even I walked through a chat GPT and I try

1414
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 16: all of his suggestions and nothing happened.

1415
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: Well they I mean, I'm not kidding, and I love

1416
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: chat GBT, but it literally makes up things that do

1417
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: not exist. Literally. I was asking it today. I said,

1418
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: I have an iPhone and Android. I want to use

1419
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: both at the same time. How do I do that?

1420
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, download the official Apple Messages for

1421
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 1: Android app and you'll be able to check your message.

1422
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,560
Speaker 1: I was like, there is no Apple Messages for Android app, Like,

1423
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: where are you coming up with this stuff? Anyway? So

1424
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: you got to take all that stuff with a grain

1425
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 1: of salt. But what I would do is go into

1426
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: your let's see if this is the right one device

1427
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: care Okay, so there is, uh, let's see here. I'm

1428
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: trying to find out a way to we can kind

1429
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: of clean up this device. I what do you think

1430
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: is happening? Because you you can't so okay, you can't

1431
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: tap the phone icon in the lower left hand corner.

1432
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: But if you go into your app drawer, can you

1433
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: activate it that way?

1434
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 10: Like?

1435
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Can does the phone app still work?

1436
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1437
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 7: So what I did is just kind of a jury

1438
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 7: rig fix.

1439
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 16: I pulled it out of there and put it on

1440
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 16: the home screen and.

1441
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 14: And that's how I'm using it now. So yeah, it

1442
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 14: does work.

1443
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 16: I have it on up above in like the general area,

1444
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 16: but on the bottom like home row if you will,

1445
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 16: it doesn't work there.

1446
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: That's so weird. And you're you're sure that you have

1447
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:57,000
Speaker 1: nothing nothing on this phone, like an accessibility feature or

1448
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: anything like that that you turned on by accident.

1449
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 14: Boy, that's that's a million dollar question.

1450
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1451
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 16: I don't know.

1452
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 14: I all I did was last week, like I said,

1453
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 14: I put on safe mode and then I switched it

1454
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 14: out and then it just kind of went haywire from there.

1455
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 16: And and like I said, I'm looking at the phone

1456
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 16: right now, and and it's clean.

1457
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:22,719
Speaker 15: The numbers are clean.

1458
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 16: But if I close that app, then the numbers go

1459
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 16: all haywire again.

1460
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, there is one thing you can try to do,

1461
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: and this may you know, it may clear it up,

1462
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: it may not. But if you go into reset, there

1463
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: is an option. There's two options I would do the

1464
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: I would do this option. First. There's one that's called

1465
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: reset Accessibility Settings. And what that will do is if

1466
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 1: you happen to put some sort of setting on there

1467
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: that's messing this up, then now do you go into

1468
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: your setting slot and like toggle and play with things

1469
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: or no.

1470
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, I did the whole reset, and and that that

1471
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:00,679
Speaker 14: screwed up everything else, and I had to like re download,

1472
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 14: but I have to, like all my apps need to like.

1473
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 15: Be re re given permissions.

1474
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 16: And all that.

1475
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, So that's okay, So you tried that. Yeah,

1476
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: interesting Okay, it's tough for me to understand what's happening

1477
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: here without seeing this device. But the weird thing is

1478
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the screen, it's weird. And at

1479
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: the top where the time is, it's also weird. Yeah,

1480
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: that's a head scratcher here. You may have to uh,

1481
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 1: you may have to bring I don't know what what

1482
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: what that could be other than the resetting the settings.

1483
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: The only thing you could do is if you you know,

1484
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: if you don't have a place to bring this, you

1485
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: can reset your whole phone into factory. But that's you

1486
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: know you're talking, that's one hundred percent. You got to

1487
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: change everything. I can't think of a of a setting

1488
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 1: on a Samsung phone that would do this. But if

1489
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: you want, if you want to send me an email,

1490
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,640
Speaker 1: I can talk to the Samsung folks and see if

1491
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: they have any idea what this might be. Maybe send

1492
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,759
Speaker 1: me a screenshot as well, So go to the website

1493
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: rich on tech dot tv, or just send it to

1494
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: hello at rich on tech dot tv and maybe I

1495
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: can get it to someone at Samsung that can sort

1496
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: of take a look. That's that's a head scratcher. That

1497
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,680
Speaker 1: is really weird. You just you know, you said, you

1498
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: put your phone into silent mode, you take it out,

1499
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: and everything nothing's working anymore. That's that's a weird one.

1500
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call today, appreciate it. Coming up, I've

1501

01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: for joining me.

1606
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 10: Thanks so much for having me so, it's wonderful to

1607
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,719
Speaker 10: be here. And I love the uh the ambrosia salad

1608
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:22,839
Speaker 10: reference at the beginning.

1609
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember that stuff?

1610
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 8: You're dating yourself a little bit there. I think it's

1611
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 8: a little bit before me.

1612
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think people do that anymore.

1613
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean probably because it's like, is like a direct

1614
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 1: attack on your heart. So what is doctronic? Explain what

1615
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: that is all about?

1616
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1617
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 8: Thanks thanks for asking.

1618
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 10: I mean, the easiest way to understand Doctronic is it's

1619
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 10: an AI doctor. And we use that phrase because people

1620
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 10: just understand what that means. You can come to our

1621
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 10: website and it feels like you're visiting a doctor. You

1622
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 10: can ask it questions about a new diagnosis, about chronic conditions,

1623
01:21:56,280 --> 01:22:00,639
Speaker 10: about your general health, about medications, and it's gonna interact

1624
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 10: with you. It's it's going to ask you questions to

1625
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 10: try and tease that information, and just like a good doctor,

1626
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 10: it's going to try and give you personalized information at

1627
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 10: the end of the conversation. That could be in the

1628
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 10: form of a problem list or a differential diagnosis and

1629
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 10: a treatment plan that you can actually act on.

1630
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,759
Speaker 1: So how is this different than just you know, searching Google,

1631
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: using chat GBT, Like, how is your AI different?

1632
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 10: So, first and foremost is designed to function like a doctor,

1633
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 10: So it's going to actually ask you questions and.

1634
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 8: Try and steering you towards the right kind of treatment

1635
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 8: that way.

1636
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 10: It's also built on a bedrock of evidence based guidelines,

1637
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 10: so we don't just pull information from the Internet.

1638
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 8: We don't pull information from an LM.

1639
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:45,679
Speaker 10: Everything that is given to you is based on thousands

1640
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 10: of guidelines that have been created in order to make

1641
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,440
Speaker 10: sure that we're following the best recommendations.

1642
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: So I always made the joke for many years when

1643
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 1: people would google their health symptoms. The end result was

1644
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 1: You're going to die no matter what. It's like you

1645
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:01,440
Speaker 1: have a little.

1646
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 8: For your answer and you're gonna die eventually.

1647
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: No matter what, You're gonna die. Like it's just like

1648
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 1: it's just that some dark humor there, but you know

1649
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:11,680
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it always is like at the

1650
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:13,719
Speaker 1: end of whatever you Google, Like you have a cut

1651
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 1: on your finger, that's it. You've got an infection, it's

1652
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna fester, your finger's gonna be chopped off, then your

1653
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: body it's just done. So how do you balance like that,

1654
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: like is this thing going to just tell you like, hey,

1655
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: this is really bad? Or how do you kind of

1656
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: work with that idea that you know, we don't know

1657
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: what this stuff is and like how do you know

1658
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: you're putting your symptoms in they're so random sometimes Yeah,

1659
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think.

1660
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 10: We've all experienced that moment where we go to Google

1661
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 10: or WebMD and we put something in there and we're like,

1662
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 10: oh my gosh, I'm gonna die right uh, And it's

1663
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 10: it's never accurate, right because it's not personalized.

1664
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 8: It's basically just giving you generalized information. And so the

1665
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,679
Speaker 8: critical thing here is to really just understand what you're saying.

1666
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 10: Just like when you I'm gonna come back to this

1667
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 10: many times, just when you go see a doctor, they're

1668
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 10: not they're not just going to give you an answer

1669
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 10: right up front. They're gonna actually ask go, tell me

1670
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 10: a little bit more about this headache so that.

1671
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 8: They can get contact.

1672
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 10: So it doesn't like lead down to the path of

1673
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 10: it being you know, the worst thing.

1674
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:12,839
Speaker 1: Possible now I see on Doctronic. Basically, there's this interesting

1675
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 1: feature where it says, after we chat, if you want

1676
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: to have a video visit with a top doctor for

1677
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: thirty nine dollars, you can do that. So how much

1678
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: of this can you, like, what can you get for

1679
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: free using Doctronic versus that thirty nine dollars you know,

1680
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 1: for the appointment, Like, explain that.

1681
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, So the AI is always free and always will be.

1682
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 8: We very much believe that.

1683
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 10: And it's by default anonymous, which is important, so you

1684
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:40,679
Speaker 10: can calm and actually chat with Doctronic, and we even

1685
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 10: at Doctronic can't know who you are. That's how we

1686
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 10: set up the system. When you're ready and you want

1687
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 10: to sort of take that next step. Let's just say

1688
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 10: you're chatting with the system and you get a new

1689
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 10: diagnosis and you're thinking a medication.

1690
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 8: You can then opt in and say.

1691
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 10: I want to see a doctor and it's your choice,

1692
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:58,799
Speaker 10: just like when you want to go see.

1693
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 8: A doctor without the an AI.

1694
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:03,679
Speaker 10: The key here is that we're sort of vertically integrated

1695
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 10: with a fifty state telet practice. So when you press

1696
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 10: that button, then you say I want to see a doctor.

1697
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 10: Everything you've just chatted with the AI about is sent

1698
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 10: off to one of our physicians and then you can

1699
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:16,640
Speaker 10: see them. Usually it takes about five minutes. So it

1700
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 10: really does streamline care to be able to.

1701
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,639
Speaker 1: Do that interesting, and I just kind of put in,

1702
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, I like how it does almost in the

1703
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 1: same way a doctor would like it starts asking questions,

1704
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 1: but then it asks like really smart follow up questions

1705
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: as well, just like a you know, a doctor's office would.

1706
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that's what it's designed to do.

1707
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 10: I think a lot of us have used AI before, right,

1708
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 10: and it just feels very superficial when you use it.

1709
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:44,799
Speaker 10: It's not directional, and there's nothing that you can actually

1710
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:46,799
Speaker 10: take from it beyond just getting information.

1711
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 8: And so we've built Doctronic differently. It's really supposed to

1712
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 8: be for you to take ownership of your health.

1713
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 1: Now, you talked about privacy. Obviously, whenever people are sharing

1714
01:25:56,720 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: medical information, you got to what are the privacy implication here?

1715
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 3: Are you?

1716
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean, how much of my information is stored or

1717
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: shared or sold whatever, you know, because I'm sharing some

1718
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: pretty intimate stuff here sometimes.

1719
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, it's important. So we take data very seriously.

1720
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 10: I think from just like a conceptual standpoint, I'll go

1721
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 10: back to this, it's anonymous by default, and anonymous is

1722
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 10: different than us not knowing or storing your data.

1723
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 9: It means that we literally.

1724
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 10: Can't actually know who you are, and that protects you.

1725
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,639
Speaker 10: So you can always use the system without us actually

1726
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 10: knowing who you are and eventually storing your data. Now,

1727
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 10: if you want to store it and you want to

1728
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 10: have a long term relationship with the company and come

1729
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:39,639
Speaker 10: back so that.

1730
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,799
Speaker 8: It remembers each time, you can do that as well.

1731
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 8: And if you do choose to do that, we.

1732
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 10: Have made the decision that your data is yours and

1733
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 10: you can always delete it, you can always take it

1734
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:53,879
Speaker 10: wherever you want, and that that data needs to be protected.

1735
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 10: So we obviously use the most you know, highest standards

1736
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 10: for making sure that that data is secure.

1737
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:01,640
Speaker 3: You know.

1738
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 10: I feel like traditionally healthcare systems have always taken the

1739
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 10: stance that the data is theirs, right, and it's very

1740
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:10,679
Speaker 10: hard as a posient to actually go get that data

1741
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 10: when you need it correct and I think that's a mistake,

1742
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 10: right and then so that's one of the reasons why

1743
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 10: we've made it so easy for people to actually own

1744
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 10: their data with the system.

1745
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: We're talking with doctor Adam Oskowitz, co founder of Doctronic.

1746
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: This is an AI doctor, and it says right on

1747
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:30,679
Speaker 1: the home page, you've already helped over eighteen million times,

1748
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:34,879
Speaker 1: which is amazing. What do you think of AI's impact

1749
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,640
Speaker 1: in medicine, because I feel like it is going to

1750
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 1: really accelerate things in a big way.

1751
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1752
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 10: I think that we quite honestly are at the penicillin

1753
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 10: moment in medicine right now as AI starts taking shape.

1754
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,760
Speaker 10: And when you think about it, medicine has always had

1755
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 10: this fundamental math problem that you would never have enough

1756
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 10: doctors to meet this, you know, the demand of patients.

1757
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,560
Speaker 10: Right you could have ten times more doctors and you

1758
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 10: still would be able to meet the demands of patients.

1759
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 8: And when you think about it, you actually get your

1760
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 8: own medical care.

1761
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 10: You don't go see a doctor oftentimes when you're sick,

1762
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 10: because you know how difficult it is. With AI, all

1763
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 10: that changes, right, We are no longer gated by you know,

1764
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 10: having enough doctors, and eventually, when we get systems that

1765
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 10: are rigorous enough, we'll be able to provide high quality

1766
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 10: healthcare to anyone anywhere, anytime, for free or almost free,

1767
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,719
Speaker 10: and that's really going to transform the way people actually

1768
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 10: engage with the healthcare system and how they own their

1769
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 10: own health.

1770
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: Is there a flip side to this? We have to

1771
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:35,640
Speaker 1: be careful with just getting sort of advice from a

1772
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 1: general AI. I know, you built yours to be much

1773
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: safer because it's specifically for medical advice. But you know,

1774
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 1: people are already, like we said, they're already going on WebMD,

1775
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: they're already going on Google, and there's a million and

1776
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: one chatbots out there. I mean, the self care of health.

1777
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:54,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of could be dangerous.

1778
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 10: Absolutely, I totally agree with that. I think we need

1779
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 10: to do this. We need to do this small, We

1780
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 10: need to do this securely. Every single you know, company

1781
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 10: out there or institution that's using this needs to earn

1782
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 10: the trust of patients. And so I tell that to

1783
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 10: people when they come to Doctronic. You know, don't trust

1784
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 10: us right out of the gate. We should earn your trust,

1785
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 10: utilize it, double check it, you know, be skeptical.

1786
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 8: At first.

1787
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 10: I'm confident that we'll earn the trust of our users,

1788
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 10: but in other instances, I wouldn't trust any random chatbot

1789
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,719
Speaker 10: out there, and I certainly wouldn't trust potentially chat gpt

1790
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 10: to tell me exactly what I need to know.

1791
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 1: And real quick, we got like just a couple of

1792
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 1: seconds here, Like, if you get that video visit with

1793
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: a doctor, can you get like a prescription or something

1794
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 1: like that? Can they do that?

1795
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, you can get prescriptions. Well, we can order labs, referrals.

1796
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 10: We are an advanced primary care practice, so everything you

1797
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 10: could get at a primary care office we can provide

1798
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 10: that as well.

1799
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:55,559
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, the website Doctronic dot ai Doctronic dot ai,

Speaker 1: the feedback. These are the emails the comments and the

1812
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:31,559
Speaker 1: questions I get from you. There's no way I can

1813
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 1: get through them all, but I will do my best.

1814
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 1: You are listening to rich on tech. I know lots

1815
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 1: you are looking for those gift gift ideas I mentioned.

1816
01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 1: They are all on the website rich on tech dot TV.

1817
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 1: Just head there and it should be the top story

1818
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:57,759
Speaker 1: episode one. All ten of those products are listed. There

1819
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: should be at least. Okay, let's get to the feedbag. Yep,

1820
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 1: there they are, Keith writes in thank you for your

1821
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: newsletters and radio show. They help to inform many people

1822
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 1: about tech issues, including me. I have a book recommendation

1823
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 1: for you. It's if anyone builds it, everyone dies, why

1824
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 1: superhuman AI would kill us? All? Okay, that's Keith. I

1825
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 1: will put that on my reading list along with my

1826
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 1: book about the End of the World. Thank you for that.

1827
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:30,360
Speaker 1: Andy from Akron, Ohio says, Hey, the woman who deleted

1828
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:32,400
Speaker 1: the C plus plus DLL, it could be in the

1829
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 1: recycling bin. I might have missed it if that was

1830
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,479
Speaker 1: already checked. But she just needs to search for recycling bin,

1831
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 1: open up and hopefully the files are still there and

1832
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 1: she can restore them. Thank you, Andy and Samuel along

1833
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 1: the same notes regarding the woman who deleted files. There's

1834
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 1: a command line program that can look for system missing

1835
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: files and replace them. It's called System file Checker. Just

1836
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 1: run SFC slash scan now. Ooh, that's a good one,

1837
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 1: SFC slash scan now. Jammy and Larry say, hey, Rich,

1838
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 1: my wife and I emailed you a few times. You've

1839
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 1: been so helpful. Just wanted to let you know we're

1840
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 1: really enjoying the deer Abbey format. As usual, we're picking

1841
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 1: up some great tips. Yes, this is the newsletter I

1842
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:15,679
Speaker 1: talked about earlier. That's the I call it deer abby

1843
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 1: It's just basically a Q and a newsletter, kind of

1844
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:21,840
Speaker 1: like this show. Gretchen says, I saw your story and

1845
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 1: I was listening to your podcast like I do every week,

1846
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 1: and I had to comment. I've had two Chevy Tahoes,

1847
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: both with CarPlay, and I love it. I just read

1848
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 1: gms getting rid of car play switching to their own system.

1849
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,680
Speaker 1: I really hope they changed their minds, because I'd be

1850
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 1: devastated to buy another Tahoe without car play. Well, Gretchen,

1851
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: it seems to be happening. Maybe they will change their minds,

1852
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. I think we had another email

1853
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 1: about car play. Let's see here. Now you know what.

1854
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm just wasting time. I'll just move on. Kim in

1855
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: Los Angeles says that fingerprint lock you talked about is

1856
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 1: so cool. I used to leave my reading glasses on

1857
01:32:58,280 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 1: my gym lock just so I could see the time

1858
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:02,960
Speaker 1: any numbers. The fingerprint lock is a total game changer.

1859
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for sharing it. Yes, that's the Benji lock, Benji lock,

1860
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:11,680
Speaker 1: fingerprint padlock. It's so cool. Hey, rich my compliments on

1861
01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: the reader's question segment of your newsletter. I always learned something.

1862
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 1: Your version on the air is also great. I like

1863
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 1: that you keep a brisk pace with callers and with

1864
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:23,719
Speaker 1: the interview guests. Especially appreciated is the way you question

1865
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 1: your guests direct and to the point, without a lot

1866
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:29,400
Speaker 1: of preamble. Keep up the good work, Mike and carlsbad. Mike,

1867
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 1: you are on the rich On Tech cheerleader team. Thank you.

1868
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Uh oh, here we go. I'm wondering why is Tesla

1869
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,240
Speaker 1: picking up car play but GM's dropping it.

1870
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 3: Why?

1871
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 6: Why?

1872
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 3: Why?

1873
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:43,760
Speaker 1: I was recently driving in Ireland. Car play was so

1874
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:46,080
Speaker 1: handy for directions. It would have been much more challenging

1875
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 1: without it. Thanks Steven. I think I read that last

1876
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:52,160
Speaker 1: week somehow. What happened there? Mike in Los Angeles says,

1877
01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:54,479
Speaker 1: I've been an IT consultant for more than thirty years.

1878
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to raise an issue I never hear anyone

1879
01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 1: talk about when it comes to pass keys. They're great

1880
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 1: because you don't need long passwords, but there's a dark side.

1881
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 1: People forget on a Windows computer, the only thing standing

1882
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:09,200
Speaker 1: between someone and every account you've set up with passkeys, Amazon, Google, Banks,

1883
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 1: email is your four to six digit Windows pin. I

1884
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: see it all the time. People give that pin to roommates,

1885
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:16,760
Speaker 1: friends or families so they can look something up, not

1886
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 1: realizing they're giving away access to everything. Passkeys are great

1887
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:23,920
Speaker 1: when used right, but only if people treat their PIN

1888
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 1: like a bank code. Once someone has your pin, everything

1889
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 1: protected with the pass key is wide open. Mike, thanks

1890
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: for that reminder. I need to check that out on

1891
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 1: my computer to see if that is the case. But

1892
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:37,080
Speaker 1: if it is, be careful. Do not give out. Don't

1893
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 1: give out your pin anywhere. Don't give it out on

1894
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 1: your phone, your computer. It just unlocks way too much.

1895
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 1: Mike in Orange County says, I saw your feature on

1896
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 1: TV about phone cases. I saw your recommendation of the

1897
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 1: Spegan Super Thin case. I've used them for about fifteen years.

1898
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 1: My phones have always survived the occasional drop. I don't

1899
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:57,719
Speaker 1: need the screen protection since I'm pretty careful as always.

1900
01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 1: Grateful for your advice. Thanks Mike. Yes, I've got the

1901
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:05,439
Speaker 1: Spegan Ultra Hybrid on my iPhone right now. Love that case.

1902
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 1: It's like fifteen bucks on Amazon. It is incredible. I'll

1903
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 1: put a link to it on the website. The other

1904
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 1: one I really really like is the case Tofy Clear

1905
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:17,920
Speaker 1: Impact or Impact Clear case Defy Impact Clear. It's got

1906
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:21,559
Speaker 1: a built in kickstand. It's such a cool case for

1907
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 1: your phone. Let's see here. We got a lot of

1908
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 1: messages about the woman who couldn't access or the man

1909
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,559
Speaker 1: the guy who couldn't access Facebook Messenger. PJ says, in

1910
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 1: regards to speaking to an AI computer, think way back

1911
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 1: to the original Star Trek. They talk to their shipboard computers,

1912
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:43,080
Speaker 1: no keyboards. They also had tablet computers. Our cell phones

1913
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 1: replicated the look of their communicators. Many other things too.

1914
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 1: I just keep forgetting to write them to a list.

1915
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 1: You are right, what seemed very far off on Star

1916
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: Trek is basically reality. Now, is there anything that happened

1917
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 1: on Star Trek that they did that we haven't gotten yet?

1918
01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: Probably like the body scan. I'm not a huge Star

1919
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:03,559
Speaker 1: Trek person, but wasn't there like a body scan? Yeah?

1920
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 1: I know, bemba. Oh we haven't done beam me up?

1921
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 1: Oh yet? No, we have not done yeah space trial

1922
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 1: or I guess just teleporting. Yeah, we have not done that.

1923
01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:16,519
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that. You're gonna look a little

1924
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 1: bit weird, like a little bit melted gobbledegook, like when

1925
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: your eyes might be droopy by the time he gets

1926
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 1: to the other place. But hey, you've just traveled the

1927
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 1: whole world without really doing anything. Uh okay. Francis says,

1928
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:31,839
Speaker 1: I have Cox Internet and got an email to increase

1929
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 1: my speed. In the past, when I had Cox Cable,

1930
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 1: they'd offer HBO or something for a few months for free,

1931
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: and then if I canceled before the trial ended, my

1932
01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,240
Speaker 1: whole package would change and costs more.

1933
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:41,640
Speaker 10: So.

1934
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 1: Before I accepted this speed boost, I called and after

1935
01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:46,280
Speaker 1: ten minutes of questioning the rep I learned that if

1936
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 1: I took the free offer, my current fifty dollars plan

1937
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,720
Speaker 1: would disappear, and after canceling the faster speed. I have

1938
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:53,439
Speaker 1: to pay thirty dollars more each month to get my

1939
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,160
Speaker 1: old speedback. They don't tell you that I'm sick of

1940
01:36:56,200 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 1: these cable companies. Uh Tang is nearby, but I'd need

1941
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,800
Speaker 1: seven neighbors to sign on, and Starlink is adding a

1942
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 1: demand premium. I'm really hoping Amazons satellites arrive soon. I

1943
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 1: love your segments. That is a great, great thing. That

1944
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:14,960
Speaker 1: is a great point, Francis that if you are on

1945
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 1: one of these what they call grandfathered in plans and

1946
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: you accept a new plan as a trial, that they say, oh,

1947
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 1: you can always go back. You know, you can always

1948
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: get rid of it. But they don't tell you that

1949
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 1: you can't go back to your original plan because it's grandfather.

1950
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 1: That's interesting, Gerald says, Hey, a Rich since listening to

1951

Speaker 1: your show, I can tell you have the skills with

1952

Speaker 1: a Z to pay the bills with the Z. I

1953
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: don't know what that means, but thank you, Gerald. I
