28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: TVs not only for watching football, but just in general.

Speaker 1: And of course I'm gonna ask him some of the

Speaker 1: best brands and some of the budget and splurge picks

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: as well. And later in the show, Evan Rapaport, former

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: Google Moonshot executive and founder of Amphibian, is gonna share

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: his new app called nature Me, which is helping people

34
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: reconnect with nature through eyes open mindfulness. All right, that

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: sounds pretty interesting. Welcome to the show, live from Las

36
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Vegas today. Yes, I am in Las Vegas for the

37
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio Festival. The music festival is a two day event

38
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: and it is a lot of fun. I've been to

39
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: these events before. It's a lot of artists, a lot

40
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: of just a lot of team you know. It's at

41
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: the T Mobile Arena. iHeartRadio just knows how to throw

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: a party and it's just great. So it's a lot

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: of fun. It's always a challenge to do a remote

44
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: show because you never know if everything's gonna work out properly.

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: But hopefully we are broadcasting to you right now. You're

46
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: hearing my voice and everything is working out. Because you

47
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: know me, I like to do the show live, no

48
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: matter what. I don't want to do a show that's

49
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: not live because I like to hear from you. I

50
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: like to challenge myself in doing this live, no matter

51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: where I am. And it's been a while, by the way,

52
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: since we've done a remote show. So let's talk about

53
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: the iPhone. So last week I told you all about them,

54
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: but I had to kind of hold back just a

55
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: little bit because I was not able to share my

56
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: full review. But now the embargoes are up. Yes, I've

57
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: been using the iPhone since they announced it back on

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: September ninth, and it is incredible. Every single model this year,

59
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: iPhone seventeen, iPhone Air, the iPhone seventeen Pro, and Promax

60
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Apple hit it out of the park. I am telling

61
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: you the bottom line, if you want to upgrade your phone,

62
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about upgrading your phone, this is the

63
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: year to do it. iPhone seventeen, that base model at

64
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars. It is finally in a place where

65
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: it is a really great phone for the money, and

66
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: if you're trading in a phone, you're gonna get even

67
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: more value out of that brighter screen, tougher display, less

68
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: glare finally added, smoother scrolling, and video playback. It also

69
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: has a new ultra wide camera and that new selfie camera,

70
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: which lets you take horizontal or vertical snapshots without turning

71
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: the phone. You can also zoom out a little bit

72
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: to get a group shot, zoom in to get the

73
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: selfie shot all or the solo shot, all without moving

74
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: your phone horizontal or vertical. Now, I will tell you

75
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: I know Apple's selling that is a big feature. I

76
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: personally do not like that feature, but that does not

77
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: take away from it. I do not take selfies the

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: way most people do. Most people hold their iPhone vertically

79
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: when they take a selfie. I do not. I hold

80
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: it horizontally, and I'm always doing it that way. I've

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: done it that way forever. I'm not gonna change my

82
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: ways even with this new camera, because I think it

83
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: is much easier to press that snapshot button, that shutter

84
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: button when your phone is in a horizontal manner. I

85
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: don't understand how people press the shutter button when their

86
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: phone is upright like vertical, because it just it's off

87
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: balance to me. But maybe I'll be proven wrong. You're

88
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: also getting double the storage from last year two hundred

89
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: and fifty six gigabytes base for that eight hundred dollars,

90
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: and you get faster charging. So keep in mind on

91
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: any of these phones that you upgrade to, if you

92
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: want to take advantage of faster wired charging, you'll need

93
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: to get a new power adapter. It's a forty WAT adapter.

94
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Apple sells one. Of course you can get at third party,

95
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: but you can use the same USBC cable. You'll just

96
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: need that new forty WAT adapter. Now, when it comes

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: to the iPhone Air, yes, it's super thin, it's super lightweight,

98
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: it's got the faster Pro chip inside is one thousand dollars.

99
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: But this phone is really only for folks that value

100
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: the form over functionality. You're getting a great phone, but

101
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna be limited in your camera lens. You only

102
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: get one lens here, so limited zoom, no ultra wide.

103
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: And of course, if you're on your phone all the time,

104
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: the battery life on this device is just not going

105
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: to be as good as say the standard seventeen or

106
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Pro Pro models. That's just the way it is. It's

107
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: a thin phone. They have a snap on battery pack

108
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: for ninety nine dollars. But if you want something that's cool, unique, different,

109
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: and you're a casual phone user, don't take a ton

110
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: of pictures, it's gonna be a really nice phone. Now

111
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: here's what I really love the iPhone seventeen Pro and Promax.

112
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I think that these are the best that Apple has

113
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: ever made. I know they say that every year, but

114
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: this year I really truly feel like they just did

115
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: such a great job at polishing what was already a

116
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: great product. But now I'm noticing the battery life is

117
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: just really really good. Combined with that faster charging is

118
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: just I'm like going to sleep with like sixty percent

119
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: battery at this point. Redesigned backside so the back looks different.

120
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: People are noticing that, which is kind of cool. The

121
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: cameras are upgraded, so you're gonna get more zoom eight

122
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: time zoom with more detail in both your wide angle

123
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: shots and your zoom shots. And this comes in two sizes.

124
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: So if you notice they did away with a plus

125
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: size this year, so you get the iPhone seventeen and

126
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: one size, then you get the iPhone Air and the

127
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: larger screen, and the iPhone seventeen Pro and Promax that's

128
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: where you get your choice of screen size, but basically

129
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: the same specs minus of course the battery. The battery

130
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: is going to be bigger in the Promax. Three colors,

131
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: including that cosmic orange with not my favorite. It's actually

132
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: growing on me a little bit personally. I'm the blue.

133
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: I like the blue. But they've got the standard silver,

134
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: the Cosmic Orange, and then of course the blue, and

135
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: you can get up to two terabytes of storage. So

136
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: they did get a little bit of a price increase

137
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: this year. This phone does start at eleven hundred dollars

138
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: this year, but you're still getting that two hundred and

139
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: fifty six based storage. If you want that two terabytes

140
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: of storage, then you're talking two thousand dollars, which is

141
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, that's a lot of money. It's like a

142
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: little laptop in your pocket. But you know, people love

143
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: their phones and they really just you know, they use

144
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: them for everything. At this point, people are using their

145
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: iPhone for you know, their computer, for writing, for their tablet.

146
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: It's just an all in one device, so people really

147
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: value these things. So overall, if you are thinking of upgrading,

148
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: this is the year to do that. All right, let's

149
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: talk about iOS twenty six. If you're not upgrading your phone,

150
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: you're still getting this brand new iOS twenty six. It's

151
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: called Liquid Glass. You don't have to update right away,

152
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: so if you are happy with iOS eighteen, you can

153
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: continue to run that on your phone. Apple will keep

154
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: pushing security updates to iOS eighteen for at least a while,

155
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: so no worries there. You can still say stay up

156
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: to date security wise, with iOS eighteen, you're not going

157
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: to get new features. You'll have to go to iOS

158
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: twenty six to get that. In messages, you can now

159
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: create poles by tapping the plus sign and looking at polls,

160
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: and you can add your options, like if you're saying, hey,

161
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: where should we go for vacation? You could add a

162
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: pole inside your conversation custom backgrounds. People are already changing

163
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: all the backgrounds on my conversations. I've noticed you can

164
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: just tap the name of the person or the group

165
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: and update the background. Of course, your friends have to

166
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: update their software to see that as well. Call screening.

167
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: I put this on my Instagram at rich On Tech.

168
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: This is probably the coolest new feature. Unknown callers have

169
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: to say who they are and why they're calling before

170
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: your phone even rings, and that information is displayed on

171
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: your lock screen. That is a killer feature if you're

172
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: trying to cut down on spam. Keep in mind it

173
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: will cut some of the regular phone calls that you

174
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: get if that person is not in your contacts or

175
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: you haven't interacted with them before. So, for instance, a

176
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: bunch of radio stations call me to do talkbacks, that

177
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: number is not always in my phone, so that person

178
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: when they call, they get, hey, rich is using call screening,

179
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: Say your name and why you're calling. And I asked

180
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: the person and he said, oh, you're the second person

181
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: that this has happened to me today. So people are

182
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: already understanding that this is a thing. But you know,

183
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: scammers are probably gonna do the same thing. They're probably

184
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna say, you know something, some fake name and some

185
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: fake reason. They've got whold Assist, which will listen to

186
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: hold music for you and alert you when someone picks

187
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: up the clock. You can now customize your snooze time

188
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: one to fifteen minutes instead of nine photos, you can

189
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: tap the new spatial icon to turn them into three D.

190
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: You can also make them a wallpaper that pops out

191
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: of your screen. That's pretty cool. There is a duplicate

192
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: finder in a photos app, which is fine. You can

193
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: find it under utilities. It's very basic. I still like

194
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: my app Clever Cleaner, make sure you get the official

195
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: one that will help you free up storage. You can

196
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: now create a ring tone from any supported audio file.

197
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: Just open up an audio file in the files app

198
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: and share out and press create ringtne. So all these

199
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: songs that you have, if you have an MP three

200
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: of them, you can now make them a ringtone. This

201
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: is something that used to take specialized software and way

202
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: back in the day of the original iPhone. Remember you

203
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: had to pay like ninety nine cents and then a

204
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: dollar twenty nine for a ringtone. No, you can do

205
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: it with any song now as long as you have

206
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: that MP three or audio file of that song. You'll

207
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: also notice there are a few new apps. There's a

208
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: new preview app. This lets you open PDF, scan documents,

209
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: also fill out PDF. So if your kid has a

210
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: permission slip or something you can use use that Preview

211
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: app to scan it, scan the paper and then sign it,

212
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: fill it out, and then email it back to the teacher.

213
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: All right, from your phone. There's also a new games app,

214
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: and if you don't like the look and feel of

215
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: liquid glass, I also posted this to my Instagram at

216
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. You can turn on the reduce transparency

217
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: option in your settings. So let me just find the

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: exact setting so I can tell you where it is.

219
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: So if you go to my Instagram at rich on

220
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: Tech you can see this. But basically go to settings

221
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: and then accessibility display in tech size and you turn

222
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: on the toggle for reduce transparency, and a lot of

223
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: your menus and things will sort of look like the

224
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: way they used to. So there you have it. iOS

225
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: twenty six a whole bunch of other features coming out

226
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: as well, but those are kind of the ones that

Speaker 2: take all of my music, my downloads on CD and

246
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: put them on a flash drive? Is there a way

247
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: I can do that? Everything I've tried so far just

248
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: really hasn't worked.

249
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: So do you okay, you're you're trying to take your

250
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: CDs and rip them and then put them on a

251
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: flash drive.

252
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

253
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? And do you have a CD player on your computer?

254
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: CD like a CD drive?

255
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah?

256
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you have Windows or Mac Windows? Okay. Exact

257
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Audio Copy. Exact Audio Copy is the app you need.

258
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: It's free. You pop in the CD you rip the music,

259
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: it'll it'll transform it into you know, the various formats

260
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: whatever one you want. You can do MP three, or

261
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: you can do other formats, and then you would just

262
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: take that and copy those files over to a flash drive,

263
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: and then you would put that flash drive in your car.

264
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: Does your car have the ability to play a flash drive?

265
00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: Oh?

266
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got some of them. It's like, Okay, went

267
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: to the Windows media Player, you know, went to the

268
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: rip tab. Okay, open that up there, you know, rip

269
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: the cuts. Okay, yeah, this says okay. Now when I

270
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: want to put this, it says, go back from you know,

271
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: the the Windows media Player sub menu, go back to

272
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: the main menu and put rip rip doesn't show. Now,

273
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: I've got some of them here, put them in playlists.

274
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: When I move those over to a flash drive, it

275
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: either puts them all in ali you know, alphabetical order,

276
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: which I don't want, or if I've got two separate

277
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: discs in there, it takes the number one cut from

278
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: the first disc and then the number one cut from

279
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: the second disc. I just want to be able to

280
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: put these in a menu and just you know, burn

281
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: them all to a flash drive.

282
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,119
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, what you're talking about with the alphabetical

283
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: that's just the way the files are being ordered on

284
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: the Flask drive. I mean, when you drag them over,

285
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: Windows is going to put them in alphabetical order. I

286
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: assume you're gonna be. I mean, it depends on your car.

287
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Like if your car supports a folder on the Flask

288
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: drive that you can browse through to play these songs.

289
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: You know, that may or may not be the case.

290
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: Like it may just say, hey, we can shuffle these.

291
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: It may also not read the exact menu or I

292
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: guess the folder structure that you've put them on that

293
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Flask drive with. So it sort of depends on your

294
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: car in that aspect. Now, when it comes to the

295
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: same song, I mean, this is a pretty straightforward process. So,

296
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean when it comes to the songs, if you're

297
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: ripping them to the CD to the hard drive, you

298
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: can copy those over in a folder on the Flask

299
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: drive and you can try that. Like let's say you

300
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: have David Bowie album. You put David Bowie on the

301
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: Flask drive. You drag those songs over. Now you do

302
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: another album, you know whoever, Don Henley Eagles, you put

303
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: that you know Eagles on there and then you put

304
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: the songs, you drag them over so that your car

305
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: may or may not read that structure of the folder.

306
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: It may just shuffle. It really depends on the car.

307
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: So these are the things that you know, it sort

308
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: of depends on the car. At this point. This is

309
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: something that I feel like was done a lot more before.

310
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: It's probably not done as often anymore because now everyone's

311
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: just streaming and using apps and things like that. You

312
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: can also consider just using your phone. So a really

313
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: easy way to do this, Dave is just using YouTube music.

314
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: So if you go to music dot YouTube dot com,

315
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: and I know this is not going to be on

316
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: a flask drive, but you can actually upload your own songs.

317
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: If you just drag them onto that website, it'll just

318
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: put them into your library. And then if you can

319
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: connect your phone to your car with Bluetooth, you can

320
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: just play your own music right off of YouTube music

321
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: and you can you know, so it's a much simpler

322
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: way instead of doing this whole flask drive. As you

323
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: create those songs, those MP three's, you can just literally

324
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: drag them onto this website music dot YouTube dot com.

325
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: It will upload them into your library and then on

326
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: your phone. Like I said, if you have Bluetooth, you

327
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: can just bluetooth those right from your phone. So there's

328
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to do this. I know, it's

329
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: it's funny that you said, I bought a new car

330
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: and I don't have a CD drive anymore. It's become

331
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: it's just not a thing anymore. I mean, these cars,

332
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: it's more about the streaming. It's more about the satellite.

333
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: It's more about all the different ways that people you know,

334
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: used to be auxiliary input. That was the thing that

335
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: you wanted on a car. It's like if your car

336
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: had auxiliary it's like, ah, this is great. I don't

337
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: have to use an FM tuner because you had an

338
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: FM tuner at one point, you know, where you had

339
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: to broadcast to your car. I mean, it's evolved a lot,

340
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: and I think that this is something that can still

341
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: be done. It's just probably not a huge priority for

342
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: the car makers anymore with these flash drives. So anyway,

343
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: try the methods I mentioned see if they work for you.

344
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight rich one oh one. Thanks for the call.

345

346
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna talk to Victorious song from the

347
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Verge right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to

354
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 5: Uh.

355
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: We have a Victoria's song from the Verge here senior reviewer,

356
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: and she was actually at the big Meta event this

357
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: week and they had a couple of demos, They had

358
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: a couple of new products, and she is here to

359
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: talk all about them. Victoria, thanks so much for joining

360
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: me today.

361
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me.

362
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: All Right, So, I've not been to a meta event.

363
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: I've been to Google, I've been to Apple, I've been

364
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: to Amazon. They all have a little bit of a

365
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: different kind of flare to them. What is the sense

366
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: in the room at a meta event?

367
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 7: This one was a bit weird because it was my

368
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 7: first Meta connect in person. I've covered them remotely before,

369
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 7: but it was a little bit chaotic, if I'm honest,

370
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 7: just because in that room there were a couple of

371
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 7: failed demos sparked a lot of talk about the virtues

372
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 7: of having kind of the pre recorded demos that we've

373
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 7: seen from Apple since you know, twenty twenty and the

374
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 7: pandemic era kind of changed the vibe of live events.

375
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 6: But this one it was all.

376
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 7: Live, and there there were some true failures.

377
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: Of wait, there was more than one failure because I

378
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: saw like one little video like you made, like Mark

379
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg tried to make a video call. Well wait, hell,

380
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm back up for one second. Explain what medic Connect

381
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: is like what they do an event once a year

382
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: called Meta Connect. What does that mean exactly?

383
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 7: Medic Connect is kind of their version of the fall

384
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 7: product launch. It usually kind of is an update on

385
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 7: their metaverse, you know, undertakings. But in the last couple

386
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 7: of years they've also kind of pivoted to launching and

387
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 7: talking about their smart glasses hardware, which is what I cover.

388
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 7: So you know, last year they had the transparent ray

389
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 7: Band Meta Glasses, and this year they had three new

390
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 7: smart glasses to unveiled everyone. The first and I think

391
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 7: the one that everyone is talking about the most is

392
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 7: the Meta ray Band Display, which is their first glasses

393
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 7: with the heads up display in one of the lenses.

394
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 7: They had the Oakley Meta Vanguard, which is basically wrap

395
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 7: around smart glasses for athletes. And then they had the

396
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 7: ray Band Meta Gen two, which is a slightly updated

397
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 7: version of the regular ray band metas that they've had

398
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 7: for the last couple of years.

399
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: Wait, so the one pair is called the Meta ray

400
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: Band Display and then the other ones are the ray

401
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: Band Meta Gen two.

402
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 6: Oh yes, yes, that was kind of Yeah.

403
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 7: When they told me that, I was like, are you

404
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 7: guys serious? My editors have been like very much sticklers

405
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 7: for getting the name right, and now you're just gonna

406
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 7: flip it on them.

407
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 6: For this one product. Yeah. It caused a little bit

408
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 6: of a hubbulb.

409
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 7: I think among all the journalists they're going like, wait

410
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 7: a minute, you're changing the name on us.

411
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 8: Why?

412
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 6: But yeah, so that is the thing that they did.

413
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: So you tried these glasses on the Meta ray Band

414
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: display and these are basically they look like ray bands,

415
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: a little bit thicker in the sides and you know,

416
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: around the lenses and there is a tiny display in there.

417
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: What was it like to put these on?

418
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 7: I was quite shocked because the display is very visible.

419
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 7: It goes up to five thousand minus of brightness and

420
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 7: the all those glasses automatically come with transition lenses. So

421
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 7: one problem that we've had with smart glasses through the

422
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 7: years is ambient light. So if you're in a very

423
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 7: bright room or if you're outside on a very sunny day,

424
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 7: the display tends to get washed out. And that's something

425
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 7: that I've seen scene with a lot of different smart

426
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 7: glasses prototypes that I've tested over the years, different methods

427
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 7: of making the display visible to people. Ambient light is

428
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 7: a huge problem.

429
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 6: And I wore these.

430
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 7: I was able to go outside with them. Okay, did

431
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 7: I look at the sun and did it get washed out?

432
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 6: Yes?

433
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 7: Do I recommend that everyone looked directly at the sun?

434
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 7: Absolutely not.

435
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 6: Don't do it. I did it for you.

436
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 7: But if I'm looking anywhere besides directly at the sun,

437
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 7: you can see the display, which is it's a huge

438
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 7: step forward in terms of that technology. But the display

439
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 7: also enables a lot of different hands free computing that

440
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 7: you know, if you remember the original Google Glass Sizzle reel,

441
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 7: it feels very reminiscent of that. So you can get

442
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 7: your text messages on there. You can if a friend

443
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 7: sends you a link to an Instagram reels, you can

444
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 7: watch it directly from your glasses.

445
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: You can watch an Instagram reels on your glasses.

446
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 7: Now, yes, you can, got the picture is quite clear.

447
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 7: You can take video calls.

448
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 6: I had the demo.

449
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 7: I was able to VEHO call on like Zuckerberg on stage,

450
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 7: and it worked. And I felt a little bit like

451
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 7: a spy in that moment because I could see my

452
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 7: colleague in this video call, and because these are camera

453
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 7: camera glasses, they could see everything that I was seeing

454
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 7: as well.

455
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 6: So I was like, oh my god, I feel like

456
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 6: a super spy.

457
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 7: If I were to steal corporate see information in a

458
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 7: bank heist or something like that, this is maybe how

459
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 7: they would do it in a James Bond or sci

460
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 7: fi movie. So it felt sort of like that. I

461
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 7: could see live captions. So if I'm talking to a

462
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 7: bunch of people in a crowded room, the person I'm

463
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 7: looking at, if I turn the live captions on, I

464
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 7: could see subtitles for what they're saying. And the amazing

465
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 7: thing to me was because the microphones are multidirectional, cross

466
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 7: talk didn't matter, so there were multiple people talking at

467
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 7: me in the room, but the only person being captioned

468
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 7: was the one I was directly looking at and I

469
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 7: think that's going to be huge for people who are

470
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 7: hard of hearing or in deaf communities.

471
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 6: That's pretty wild to see for me. And there were

472
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 6: a couple of other demos.

473
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, back to the screen. Is it so bright that

474
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: it's like really bright in your eye? Because I feel

475
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: like you're saying this is like up to five thousand nits.

476
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: It sounds like there's a screen there or is it

477
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: sort of like projected out into the world more like that.

478
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 7: No, it's like a little screen that's an extension of

479
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 7: what you could expect to see from a phone menu,

480
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 7: so similar to what you might see in a smart watch.

481
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 7: But the brightness is adjustable. It goes up to five

482
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 7: thousand mints in the event that you're outside in very

483
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 7: bright lighting, but if you're indoors, it's not going to

484
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 7: be five thousand that's burning into your eyeball. It adjusts

485
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 7: based on the environment that you're in. It can go

486
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 7: as low as thirty nits depending So it was quite

487
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 7: impressive to me because there's also only two percent light leakage.

488
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 7: And what that means is if you're looking directly at

489
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 7: me and I have these glasses on, you will not

490
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 7: be able to see any hint of a display. Doesn't

491
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 7: matter what angle I'm looking at, doesn't matter how the

492
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 7: light is catching the glass on my eye, you won't

493
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 7: be able to see a thing. You might be able

494
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 7: to tell that my eyes are not fully present, or

495
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 7: that I'm not quite looking at you, because the way

496
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 7: the display is, it's a monocular display, which means it's

497
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 7: only in the right lens, and it's not directly centered.

498
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 6: It's a little bit off to the side. So you

499
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 6: do have kind of a situation.

500
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 7: And I have a YouTube video online through the verge

501
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 7: that you can kind of look at, but you can

502
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 7: kind of see that my eye you can kind of

503
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 7: tell I'm not fully there. My colleagues that I kind

504
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 7: of had a dead eye look to me, a little distracted,

505
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 7: And we were both talking about like how crazy that

506
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 7: might be in terms of societal implications, because we're already

507
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 7: saying stuff like put your phone away when we're at dinner,

508
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 7: or like, you know, I think I make the effort

509
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 7: to put my phone down when I'm trying to be

510
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 7: present with my friends. But even with smart watches, you know,

511
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 7: people know that if you're glancing at your smart watch

512
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 7: you're probably just looking at a notification, but it's a

513
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 7: moment where you're distracted.

514
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: Uh, this is I was at breakfast yesterday and you know,

515
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm getting all these notifications on my watch, and like

516
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: you want to look because you want to see what

517
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: they are. But like, if you're glancing at your watch

518
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: during a conversation, it's really distracting to the other person

519
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: and it's quite mean. Actually, what about this band that

520
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: you wear on your wristband? This neural band was that

521
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: easy to control?

522
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, So the neural band uses something called electromiography, which

523
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 7: means it reads the signals from your muscles, like you're

524
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 7: the electrical signals and your muscles, And based on that,

525
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 7: you have a set of gesture controls that you can

526
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 7: use to control the display. So like if you pinch

527
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 7: your index finger once, that'll select something in a menu.

528
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 7: If you pinch your middle finger ONTs that'll that's kind

529
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 7: of like a back button. If you pinch your middle

530
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 7: finger twice, that brings up and dismisses the display. So

531
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 7: there's a couple of different things you can do. You

532
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 7: can sort of make a fist and rotate it to

533
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 7: the side and start swiping with your thumb like it's

534
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 7: a dpad if you've used game controllers, and that'll help

535
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 7: you scroll up down through menus if you want to

536
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 7: up the volume, or zoom in when you're framing a picture,

537
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 7: because that's something you can do now, is that you

538
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 7: can zoom in three times and snap a photo.

539
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: You just kind of you're selling me all these things.

540
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: You're Okay, we got about a minute left, so I

541
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: want to get to the pricing. It's eight hundred dollars.

542
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is you mentioned accessibility before.

543
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: Even the band is good for people I'm reading with

544
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: limited mobility, tremors, or even if you don't have all

545
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: of your fingers too, So that's I mean, people are

546
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: going to find a lot of uses for this outside

547
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: of kind of like the standard what they've thought of,

548
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: which I always find really interesting. Eight hundred dollars available

549
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: September thirtieth at best Buy, Lens Crafters, Sunglass, hut Ray

550
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: Band Stores, Verizon store later. Do you think people should

551
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: pick up the first generation of these devices?

552
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 6: A It really depends.

553
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 7: If you're a first adopter, I think you might go

554
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 7: a little crazy because it seems like a lot of

555
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 7: fun but you know, it really depends on whether you

556
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 7: find the glasses form factor interesting because I know people

557
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 7: who are like I have twenty twenty vision.

558
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 6: Why would I do this?

559
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 7: And you know what fair I think if you're a

560
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 7: tech nerd and you're interested in hands free computing, especially,

561
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 7: this might be something up your alley.

562
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 6: If you're just trying to log off, maybe don't spend

563
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 6: eight hundred dollars on something like this.

564
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 7: But it is a very exciting movement in this particular

565
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 7: form factor. I'm eager to get my hands on a

566
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 7: pair to see how it actually works in real life because,

567
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 7: as I mentioned, there were some real filled demos on stage,

568
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 7: so we got to see how it performs in real

569
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 7: life settings before I feel confidence saying go out, spend

570
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 7: eight hundred dollars on this.

571
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, there you have it, Victoria Song from

572
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: the Verge. What's the best place to follow you? VICM

573
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: Song on Instagram?

Speaker 4: Rich Oh hi, thanks for taking my call. Absolutely and

606
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: having a weird thing going on with my emails in

607
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 4: my trash, I go through and I delete my emails

608
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: and I clear my trash every couple of days. I've

609
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 4: got one hundred and thirty two emails from April, the

610
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 4: end of April to like mid May of twenty twenty

611
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 4: two that I cannot get rid of. I clear them

612
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 4: and they appear to be gone. You know where it

613
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 4: says select all all your trash goes away. They appear

614
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: to be gone, and then like later in the afternoon,

615
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: they'll show up again.

616
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, these are like ghost emails.

617
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 4: I know, it's just it's a crash. I mean, I've

618
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: tried going through and like eliminating one at a time

619
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 4: to swipe them off.

620
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: And you're sure you don't need these emails. There's there's

621
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: not a force in the world that's like, hey, you

622
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: need these emails, Connie read them.

623
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 4: No, No, they're just they're they just don't their advertisements

624
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 4: or in a Little League schedule or a Bible update

625
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 4: or Ranger Rick advertisement. It's nothing, nothing important at all.

626
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: How are you checking these emails? What's the platform and

627
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: what's the service?

628
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 9: Like?

629
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: Are you checking these on your phone and are using Gmail? Yahoo?

630
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 4: Well, that's a weird thing, Okay, it is. They are

631
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 4: present on my iPad and it's a Gmail account, but

632
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: when I check the trash on my phone day Gmail account,

633
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 4: they're not there.

634
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 9: Okay, we're only on my chapolt.

635
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: Okay. So here's what's happening you you and you are

636
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: you checking these through the Gmail app? Or are you checking

637
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: them through the mail app on the on the iPad?

638
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: Uh? Through the Mail app?

639
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: Okay, all right. It sounds like it sounds like when

640
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: you first set up this account, it's just not in

641
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: sync with your with your system anymore, like your actual

642
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: base like Gmail. So a couple things to look at.

643
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: Number one, I would go to your well. Number one,

644
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: I would delete this account off of your iPad and

645
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: reinstall it. And I think that's going to solve your problem.

646
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: Number one, So go into settings on the iPad and

647
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: go into let's see they've changed everything. So you got

648
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: to go into apps, I believe, and let's see where

649
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: it says. Is it mail? Okay, I'm looking right now

650
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: on my phone to see if they have it this way.

651
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 7: Yeah.

652
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: So you go into mail and then you'll see Mail

653
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: accounts and just go ahead and delete the Gmail account.

654
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: It's not going to get rid of anything. It's not

655
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: going to delete your Gmail forever. It's not going to

656
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: delete your Google account. It's just going to delete that

657
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: connection off of your iPad and then restart your iPad

658
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: and then go back to Mail and add that account fresh.

659
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to solve your problem, because

660
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: it sounds like this app just got kind of stuck

661
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: and the sink got all messed up and it's just

662
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: not sinking properly. That's what I think happened. The way

663
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: to check this is also to go to Gmail dot

664
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: com on the web and if the emails are not there,

665
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: like if those emails are actually trashed and gone, then

666
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: it was just an issue on this iPad. And I

667
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: think that's going to solve like ninety nine point nine

668
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: percent of this problem. In fact, I think it's that's

669
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: going to be the solution Now, if you go to

670
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: your Gmail on the computer and those those emails are

671
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: still there, They're still in your inbox, they're still in

672
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: your trash whatever it is, then I would go and

673
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: manually delete them from your Gmail on the web. So

674
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: you have to understand when when you're checking your email,

675
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways that apps interact with that

676
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: email program. So a lot of times when you set

677
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: up that email connection to an app, an app might say, okay,

678
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: every time I delete this email, you go ahead and

679
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: delete it on your end. Sometimes that connection just gets

680
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: a little messed up and it sounds like that sink

681
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: got off, and so the email program on the computer

682
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: is saying, Hm, we're looking for these emails and you're

683
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: deleting them, but we're not finding them on the serve,

684
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna leave them here again, or we're

685
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna put them back here, or we're just confused, so

686
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave them there. That is what I think

687
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: is happening with you, Connie, And I think that if

688
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: you delete that connection to the email, it's gonna be fine.

689
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 1: The alternative here if it continues to happen even after

690
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: you do what I just mentioned, which is disconnecting and reconnecting.

691
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: You can just go ahead and download the Gmail app

692
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: on your iPad and you can manage your emails from there.

693
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: I personally like to do it that way because then

694
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: I get all the full features of Gmail on my

695
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: iPad or my iPhone versus the features that Apple gives

696
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: me in their mail app, because Apple's Mail app is

697
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: just a way of viewing your Gmail account and it's

698
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: gonna have slight variations from the features that Google gives

699
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: you themselves. And so personally, when I'm on the computer online,

700
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: I like to go directly to Gmail dot com. I

701
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: don't like to use a third party app because many

702
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: of them sink these days pretty well. But I like

703
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: having the full what I call native functionality of Gmail

704
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: as they envisioned it for me, And these third party

705
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 1: apps are just kind of viewing your Gmail account through

706
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: their own lens, and sometimes whatever's happening on that particular

707
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: program is not necessarily sinking or matching up with what

708
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: Gmail has. What Gmail has at their base at mail

709
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: dot Google dot com, orgmail dot com is what's actually

710
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: happening in your account. So if those emails are gone

711
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: from the Gmail website from the Gmail app. That's what

712
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: you want to make sure is happening and you can

713
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: identify the problem is happening on your iPad. Thanks for

736
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: I did want to tell you about man yet another

737
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: Anchor power bank recall. I cannot believe this. I've recommended

738
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: Anchor so many times over the years, and they're starting

739
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: to disappoint me because this is at least the third

740
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 1: recall that I can remember in the past year or so.

741
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: But they're recalling another four hundred and eighty one thousand

742
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: power banks with model numbers A sixteen forty seven, sixteen

743
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: fifty two, twelve fifty seven, sixteen eighty one, and sixteen

744
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: eighty nine. These were sold at best Buy, Target, Amazon,

745
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: Walmart and more places between August twenty twenty three and

746
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: June twenty twenty five. The batteries can overheat. So far,

747
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: there's been thirty three reports of fires and explosions for

748
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: burn injuries one property damage. If you have one, do

749
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: not use it. Verify the serial number on Anchor's website.

750
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: You can register for a refund or an Anchor gift card,

751
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: and you can't just throw these in the regular recycling.

752
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: You got to contact the hazardous waste center in your

753
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: area for safe disposal. What a pain that is, huh?

754
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what the heck? I love my anchor charger.

755
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: I use it. I use it everywhere every day. And

756
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: to think that, you know, this company has had kind

757
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: of a lot of issues with these things recently, does

758
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: not give me a lot of faith. So check the

759
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: US Consumer Product Safety Commission website, the anchor website for

760
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: the latest recall. They've got a bunch of them on

761
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: there now. There's like three active recalls. So check your

762
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: anchor power bank to make sure it's not recalled. You

763
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: do not want to have any sort of issue with those.

764
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to line number one erin in Missouri. Aaron,

765

00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 10: All Right? So I've lost access to my phone. Okay,

769
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 10: I broke the phone and that phone number has my

770
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 10: email account, which is a Gmail account attached to it. Well,

771
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 10: I have all my Crypto dot Com all of my

772
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 10: stock prograge stuff on there, and so I have the

Speaker 10: two factor authentication. She's popping up on me and I

774
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 10: don't think I set that up on my Gmail account.

775
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 10: So when I try to log into my Gmail account,

776
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 10: I got my password, I've got my email address. That's

777
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 10: all fine, But then it pops the two factor authentication,

778
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 10: which I don't remember ever setting up.

779
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 9: Actually, well, yeah.

780
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: They're yeah, they're they're doing that by themselves now because

781
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: people are too lazy. So they've just Google has taken

782
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: it upon themselves to just say, hey, we're going to

783
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: try to authorize you as as many times as we

784
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: can because we want to keep your account, your account secure.

785
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: What kind of pop up is it? Is it like

786
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: a pop up that says, hey, can you check your

787
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: other account or your other device that you're logged.

788
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 10: In on, or check the phone number that I no

789
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 10: longer have access to? And uh, it's so that that

790
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 10: kind of stops.

791
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 9: Me right there.

792
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: Suck. Yeah, okay, that is a problem. Uh, and it's

793
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: something that I mean, look, I get it. It's and

794
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,479
Speaker 1: this is a this is a big fear of mine

795
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: getting locked out of a major account like this because,

796
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: as you said, this has got all of your data

797
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: in there. So the the thing to know. Okay, so

798
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: a couple of things. I'm I'm just trying to go

799
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: through the process of of how to get back into

800
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: this Google account without having that backup phone number. So

801
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: number one, if you ever saved backup codes for your account,

802
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: you can use those to log in. It doesn't sound

803
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: like you have those, but yeah, this is really tricky.

804
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: So number one, there's a couple ways that Google tries

805
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: to authenticate you. When you get to that screen and

806
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: it says we're going to text you a phone number.

807
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: Obviously you can't get access to that number. So there

808
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: might be after you wait a little bit, a thing

809
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: where it says try other options, so look for that.

810
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: It might be small, it might be in smaller writing.

811
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: You might also have to try to do this twice

812
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: before that comes up, so that's one option. Number two,

813
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: you can try signing in from another device that you've

814
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: already signed in from, so if you've been on your

815
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: computer and do this at a location that you're typically at.

816
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: So don't try to sign in to your Google account

817
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: from a friend's phone in a different city because Google

818
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: is going to flag that. And so I would try

819
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: logging in, you know, on your home computer to Google

820
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: dot com and seeing if that helps, and doing this

821
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: on a computer, see you know, see what options they

822
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: give you for logging in. That's another way to do it.

823
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: If none of those things work, you can go to

824
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 1: your Google recovery and so Google has a special page

825
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: for recovery, which is g dot co slash recover g

826
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: dot co slash recover. And you're going to put in

827
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: your email and you're going to try to answer as

828
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: many questions as you can, so don't skip them. It's

829
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: going to ask you a bunch of stuff, and again,

830
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: use that same computer and browser and location that you

831
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: normally sign in from, whether that's home or work. If

832
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: if you if it asks you if your last password,

833
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: you can enter your most recent one that you remember.

834
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: Even if you know an older password, It will still

835
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: remember those and try to help you get into your account.

836
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: And it also might ask if you have another email

837
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: address on the account or another phone number on account,

838
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: so Google can reach you if they want to do this.

839
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: So if you try to do that and you get

840
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: into your account, that's great. If they can't verify you

841
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: right away, Google might say, hey, we're going to take

842
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: three to five business days to confirm you. I know

843
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: this sounds wild, but this is the way they do

844
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: it because you know, Google has a lot writing on

845
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: your account. You've got all your emails, you've got all

846
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: your photos, you've got everything locked in there. They want

847
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: to make sure they're not just giving a random person

848
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: access to your account. So that's what I recommend to do,

849
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: arin to try that recovery, because that's really your only

850
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: choice at this point, because you just don't have another

851
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: way to get that two factor authentication code from your

852
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: phone that you no longer have access to. This is

853
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: probably the number one tip for the rest of you.

854
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: If you have access to your accounts right now, for

855
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: big accounts that you set up two factor authentication codes for,

856
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: there are several ways of doing this. Number one, I

857
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: never recommend using a phone number for your two factor authentication.

858
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: Why Aaron just gave us the reason. You can lose

859
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: access to that phone number. You change phone numbers, your

860
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: phone number gets simswapped, it gets hacked, whatever happens, someone

861
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: can get access to that phone number. Now they have

862
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: access to your two factor authentication code. Or if you

863
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,479
Speaker 1: lose access to that phone number, now you factor authentication code.

864
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: So I always recommend a two factor authentication app, and

865
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: the one I like right now is called Proton Authenticator

866
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: because it is free. It is cross platform, which means

867
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: it works the same on iPhone on Android. It is

868
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: amazing that dimension. It's free. And also you can sign

869
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: in to Proton or not, So if you want to

870
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: just use it locally, you can, and you can just

871
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: use it on your Android. You could just use it

872
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: on your iPhone. If you want to sign in with

873
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: your Proton account, you can do that. And now your

874
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: codes are synced across your devices, which I really like.

875
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: Or you can export your codes and use a different

876
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: program later on, or you can just download your codes

877
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: and back them up yourself to iCloud or drive. So

878
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: it really gives you a lot of options into how

879
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: you control your backup codes, which I really really like.

880
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: So that's the way I like to do that. And

881
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: then basically, when you go to log into something like

882
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: a Google, it says, hey, give us your two factor

883
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: authentication code. You open up that app on your phone.

884
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: Every thirty seconds, it's generating a new code, just like

885
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: those texts you get, except it's on your phone, You

886
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: look at it and you type in that code, and

887
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: that's much more secure than getting those SMS messages. Okay,

888
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: So that's the number one tip. Number two, go into

889
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: your main accounts and get backup codes. These are backup

890
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: codes that you typically get when you set up two

891
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: factor authentication. But you can go into your account like

892
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: a Facebook, like an Instagram, like a Google, like an Apple,

893
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: and you can just search let's just search Google backup codes,

894
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: and you search that and you'll see the first Google

895
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: help support document says sign in with backup codes, and

896
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: it tells you how to get them. You go to

897
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: your Google account on the left. You click security, you collect,

898
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: you click two step verification and backup codes. And what

899
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna do is they're gonna give you a set

900
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: of numbers. You take those numbers and you save them,

901
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 1: print them out, put them in your password manager, whatever

902
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: you want. It's a whole bunch of codes. And those

903
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: codes will function as a two factor authentication code when

904
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: you need to get back into your account, so they're

905
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: called recovery codes. You can print them out, put them

906
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: in your safe at home. Do this for your big accounts. Please.

907
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: That way you do not have to get locked out

908
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: of your account, and you have lots of different ways

909
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: of doing that. All right, great call, Great question, Aaron

00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: to sell for next time. I did not realize that

929
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: the world has not changed in Las Vegas. We got

930
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: an email. By the way, I noticed a lot of

931
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: you going to the website for the anchor recall information,

932
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: and I did not put that up on the show notes.

933
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: It's there now episode one. Rich on tech dot tv.

934
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: I've got the anchor recall linked up so you can

935
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: check to see if yours is affected. So Rich on

936
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: tech dot tv Show Notes, episode one forty. Then we

937
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: got an email from Dave. He says, hey, Rich will

938
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: exact audio copy. This is back to the ripping CDs

939
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: for the car. On the show earlier, he said exact

940
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: audio copy is a great way way to rip CDs.

941
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: It does not add MP three tags. My car plays

942
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: songs from a flash drive. It's a twenty twenty four

943
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: Grand Cherokee with cover art, album name, and artist names.

944
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: It will sort by album or artist name, but the

945
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: songs need to be tagged first, so I use EAC

946
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: to rip the songs and then use MP three tag

947
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: to tag them. The program will actually find what the

948
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: album is just by looking at the rip songs. There

949
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: you go, MP three tag. We talked about this on

950
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: I Feel Like a recent show. MP three tag dot

951
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: de E, MP three tag dot d E Amazon Prime,

952
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime T Big Deal Days returns October seventh and eighth.

953
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't really know what to talk about when it

954
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: comes to Prime Days anymore, except it seems to happen

955
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: every other week at this point. But my advice continues

956
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: to be the same. If you're looking for something that

957
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: you want to purchase on Amazon that's kind of a

958
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: big purchase or something you don't need right away, just

959
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 1: put it in your shopping car save it for later.

960
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: That way, when October seventh and eighth rolls around, you

961
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: can just look and see if the price is dropped

962
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: on the things you actually want versus just trying to

963
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: find stuff to buy. So again, Amazon Prime Day, October seventh,

964
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: October eighth, you do need to be a Prime member.

965
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: They've got three levels of Prime membership now Prime for

966
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks a month or one thirty nine a year

967
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: Prime for young adults. This is for the eighteen to

968
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: twenty four year olds. You know, they're trying to grow

969
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: that market there because they just cut off the prime

970
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: household sharing. The households used to be able to share with,

971
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, like another person's that lives somewhere else, no

972
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: matter who they were, but they Amazon cut that off

973
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: as of October first, I think, so now young adults

974
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: can pay seven dollars and forty nine cents a month

975
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: or sixty nine dollars a year. Right now, they're giving

976
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: a zero dollar six month trial and then Prime Access.

977
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: If you're on any sort of government benefit program, you

978
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: can get Prime Access for seven dollars a month. And

979
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: then I talked about this chicken nugget deal. So through

980
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: grub Hub Plus you can get twenty one days of

981
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: free McDonald's chicken nuggets September fifteenth through October fifth. So

982
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: you're already you're already a couple days behind. You've already

983
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: missed out on a couple of days of nuggets. Man,

984
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: I'm really uh, let's just go to let's let Andy

985
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: talk here. Let's go to line one Andy in Los Angeles,

986
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: and you're on.

987
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 11: With rich Ty Ridge. Thanks for being here. I think

988
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 11: it should be a pretty simple question, but I have

989
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 11: I want to take photos from my iPad and put

990
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 11: them onto my Microsoft Studio prode To computer, and the

991
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 11: computer will not recognize my iPad. I've tried every kind

992
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 11: of cable that I can and it just won't seem

993
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 11: to recognize it. And Microsoft has not been able to

994
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 11: help me with this. I wonder if you had any

995
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 11: ideas well.

996
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think I think the easiest way,

997
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: the easiest way to do this is I mean, you

998
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: you can troubleshoot all you want to try to figure

999
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 1: out how to see the photos from there. But there's

1000
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: a great app called local Send l O C A

1001
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: L S E n D dot org. You install that

1002
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: on your iPad, you install that on your computer, and

1003
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: you can send the photos that way really easily and quickly,

1004
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: just over your wireless network. So it's cross platform, it's free,

1005
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: it's open source, and it's just a really simple easy

1006
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: way to send things from one device to another, especially

1007
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: when you've got people like Apple that don't necessarily play

1008
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: nice with other devices. Now, there are some other ways

1009
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: you can do this. There is an iCloud app for

1010
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: Windows which may help you get these photos from your

1011
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: iPad onto your Windows PC. I don't use that personally,

1012
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: so I can't tell you how easy it is. But

1013
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 1: that's another option. It's you know, access your photos, your videos,

1014
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: your mail, your calendar, your files, another important information on

1015
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: your Windows PC. Now that's uh, those are two options

1016
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: for you. But I think the local Send is probably

1017
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: going to be the easiest to do this. Uh, you know,

1018
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: I gotta. I feel like when you plug your phone

1019
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: into the Windows computer, it should just like automatically see

1020
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: it and recognize it and say do you want to

1021
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: import these things? But maybe that's not the case. So

1022
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: that's something I'm gonna have to investigate a little bit

1023
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: more and I'll check it out. I'll plug in my

1024
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: iPad and see what it says. But it could be

1025
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: the only thing I can think of is that when

1026
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: you first plugged in your iPad that you did you

1027
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: you might have checked don't trust this device. So typically

1028
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: when you plug in an iPhone or an I pad

1029
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: into a computer, it asks you to trust this computer,

1030
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: all right, sorry, trust this DEVI Uh yeah, trust this computer.

1031
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: So if you don't have that, I'm trying to figure out.

1032
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Uh. When you connect your iPhone, your

1033
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: ipadd or iPod touch to a computer or other device

1034
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: for the first time, an alert message asks you whether

1035
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: you trust the computer. Trusted computers can sync with your

1036
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: device and access your device's photos, videos, contacts, and other content.

1037
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 1: These computers remain trusted unless you change the computers which

1038
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: you trust. So okay, so here's how you change your

1039
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 1: trusted computer. So if you if you said no, don't

1040
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: trust this computer one time, it's always going to remember that.

1041
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: So you can go to settings, tap general, tap transfer

1042
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: or reset device tap reset, and then tap reset Location

1043
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: and Privacy. And now when you connect that computer again,

1044
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: it's going to you know, it's going to give you

1045
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: that pop up again. So it's gonna, you know, resetting

1046
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: your location and privacy is going to switch some other things.

1047
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: It's gonna kind of clear some other settings. But if

1048
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: you really want this to work, Andy, I think that's

1049
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: the way the best chance of getting that to work again.

1050
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: It sounds to me like this computer just is not trusted,

1051
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:16,040

Speaker 12: own way.

1081
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 8: You know.

1082
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 12: I worked with some amazing folks for a long time,

1083
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 12: built something really awesome, a little over one point three

1084
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 12: million subscribers on that channel. Not gonna lie, it was

1085
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 12: hard to leave that, but I felt like I wanted

1086
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 12: to move in some different directions that were kind of

1087
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 12: uniquely me and not necessarily well suited to a larger organization.

1088
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 12: And so, yeah, I struck out on my own. That

1089
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 12: did not go as smoothly as I know.

1090
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: But no, it did that.

1091
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 8: No it did not.

1092
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 12: That is putting it lightly. But you know, the past

1093
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 12: is the past. We're moving forward. And yes, I have

1094
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 12: a new YouTube channel. Got my first TV review coming

1095
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 12: out on it Tuesday morning, as a.

1096
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 8: Matter of fact, So you can keep an eye out

1097
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 8: for that.

1098
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 12: And if you want to find me on YouTube, you

1099
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 12: can just look up a librated, which is a little

1100
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 12: bit of a play on my name Caleb and rated.

1101
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 12: You can also think of it as a play I'm

1102
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 12: calibrated or celebrated if you prefer.

1103
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, love it. So you've been reviewing TVs for a

1104
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: long time. I mentioned earlier that the TV that I

1105
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: have you mentioned on this show one of the earlier

1106
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: times you've been on. So what is the latest trend

1107
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: in TVs right now? What are we seeing that's new?

1108
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 12: Well, okay, so the newest technology is actually a new

1109
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 12: backlight technology for the LCD green that we've had for

1110
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 12: decades in our home, and that is where we've finally

1111
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 12: gotten individual red, green, and blue back lights behind the TV,

1112
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 12: and long story short, it makes for a brighter, far

1113
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 12: more colorful TV. I mean, colors you've never seen on

1114
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 12: a TV before you can now see and it's it's

1115
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 12: absolutely amazing to behold. It's very tricky technology to pull off.

1116
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 12: It's very much in its infancy, and it's only in

1117
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 12: the most expensive TVs. But as with all new tech,

1118
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 12: it eventually filters down over the years into less and

1119
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,919
Speaker 12: less expensive TVs. And I'm really excited with where things

1120
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 12: are going. But yeah, you'll hear a lot about you know,

1121
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 12: micro RGB or mini RGB, led that kind of thing.

1122
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 12: And you know, there's so many acronyms in the TV

1123
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 12: world you can easily get get very very confusing. Just

1124
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 12: know that on a broader trend, the one that's more

1125
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 12: meaningful to most people is that TV's are getting better

1126
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 12: and better while also getting less and less expensive.

1127
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 10: You know.

1128
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 12: Parents notwithstanding still unflear you know how that kind of

1129
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 12: thing might impact the pricing of the television. But what

1130
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 12: I'm looking at right now are price is very similar.

1131
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:17,439
Speaker 8: To last year.

1132
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good to hear. What do you think the

1133
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: best technology is for someone to get? I mean, because

1134
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: I know oled so it's always like old versus everything

1135
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: else is OLED's still the best.

1136
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 12: So the OLED technology is the best at a lot

1137
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 12: of things, right, it's the best at the black levels.

1138
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 12: It just has the most impressive contrast. They've gotten much

1139
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 12: much brighter over the past few years. They're just spectacular

1140
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 12: to behold. I think anybody who walks into an electronics

1141
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 12: store and season OLED TV is immediately drawn to this TV.

1142
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 8: It just stands out.

1143
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 12: The problem is OLED technology is expensive to make. It's

1144
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 12: really expensive to make, and so the pricing on those

1145
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 12: TVs has not come down a lot.

1146
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 8: Also, there's a limit to the size.

1147
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 12: We're seeing a lot of people warming up to eighty

1148
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 12: five inch TVs, sometimes even ninety eight inch TVs. If

1149
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 12: you can even believe that you're not going to touch

1150
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 12: an o Lead TV over seventy seven inches for less

1151
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 12: than five figures, I mean, it's just not doable. So

1152
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 12: very Old is very exciting and we love it. It's just

1153
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 12: not the most practical choice for folks, either in terms

1154
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 12: of cost or rightness. If you watch TV a lot

1155
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 12: during the day with sun just flowing through the windows, oh,

1156
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 12: LED TVs can start to look a little washed out

1157
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 12: and so yes, o led TVs capture your eye and

1158
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 12: your imagination at the store, but they're not always the

1159
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 12: most practical solution for folks. I think right now, Mini

1160
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 12: led TVs, that's tiny penny, little Mini LED backlightes on

1161
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 12: an LCDTV are doing just a wonderful amazing things and

1162
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 12: again contributing toward the driving down of prices even at

1163
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 12: really really large screen sizes, which I think.

1164
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 8: Is a win for everybody.

1165
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Mini led look for that. So what is

1166
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: kind of your favorite? Do you have a favorite? Like

1167
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: Splurge TV right now? Like I mean, is Sony still

1168
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: the tops? Like, what's the deal with the top of

1169
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: the line TVs?

1170
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 12: Oh my gosh, Well, Sony charges you know in the

1171
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 12: in in my little niche, we like to refer to

1172
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 12: the Sony tax. Sony does charge a premium for its stuff,

1173
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 12: but man, it's just got that polish on it.

1174
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 8: You know what I mean.

1175
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 12: And So for the eagle eyed among us, Yeah, I

1176
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 12: really really like the Sony Brabia nine. I think it's

1177
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 12: an outstanding television and I think Sony will have some

1178
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 12: surprises for us in the years to come. But that

1179
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 12: TV is gonna it's gonna stand the test of time.

1180
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 12: I think the Sony Brabia nine is just a really

1181
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 12: incredible TV.

1182
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 8: I also have to.

1183
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 12: Mention that Samsung has this absolute beast of a thing.

1184
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 12: It is a one hundred and fifteen inch micro RGB

1185
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 12: beacklet TV. It is not affordable, like most people couldn't

1186
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 12: even fit it in their homes. But man, I mean,

1187
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 12: if you had plenty of money to send in a

1188
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 12: gigantic space, that Samsung one hundred and fifteen inch TV

1189
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 12: will knock your socks off.

1190
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 9: Wow.

1191
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: Well, okay, let's bring this down to the average person,

1192
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, the people that can actually afford these things.

1193
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: So let's talk about like a more like thousand dollars

1194
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: range and then maybe like a five hundred dollars range.

1195
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Because you know, I was talking to my dad. He

1196
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: went into Costco the other day to buy a TV,

1197
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: and it's like he's like, I got this TV for

1198
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty dollars. Is it fine? I was like, well,

1199
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, the refresh rate is a little bit low

1200
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: depending on what they watch, you know, but A right,

1201
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 1: you tell me, what do.

1202
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 8: You think I mean?

1203
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 12: In the thousand dollars neighborhood, you can get an exceptional TV.

1204
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 12: At around sixty five inches, you can get an absolutely

1205
01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 12: exceptional TV. The two brands that are bringing the highest

1206
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 12: performance for the dollar right now are TCL and High Sense.

1207
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 8: I think those brands.

1208
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 12: Are a little bit more familiar to folks now than

1209
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 12: they were, say, two years ago, but the quality and

1210
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 12: the reliability just keeps getting better and better. And yeah,

1211
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 12: I mean there's a TCL you I'm sorry. Yeah, TCL

1212
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 12: QM seven K and a High Sense U eight both

1213
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 12: are living between nine hundred and eleven hundred dollars for

1214
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 12: the sixty five inch model. Right you can step down

1215
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 12: in a model and get a little bit larger of

1216
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 12: a size, or you can step down in a size

1217
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 12: and save yourself some money. But right around that sixty

1218
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 12: five I like to use the sixty five inch because

1219
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 12: it tends to be the most approachable and popular screen

1220
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 12: size in homes today. So yeah, the TCL and High

1221
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 12: Sense models that I just mentioned, the QM seven K

1222
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 12: and the U eight both just outstanding TVs.

1223
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 8: At the thousand dollars level.

1224
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 12: You can also get a really great TV for about

1225
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,959
Speaker 12: five hundred bucks. When I talk about how excellent those

1226
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 12: two TVs are at the thousand dollars level. I'm talking

1227
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 12: about folks who are extremely picky who want to just

1228
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 12: get their socks knocked off by their TV.

1229
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 8: It's that level.

1230
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 12: You can get an amazing TV for about five hundred bucks.

1231
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 12: But again, I'm going to point to the TCL and

1232
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 12: the High Sense brands as offering the best picture quality

1233
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 12: for the price.

1234
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 8: When you start looking.

1235
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 12: At your Samsung and to some degree LG Sony's not

1236
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 12: even in the conversation.

1237
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 8: Around five hundred.

1238
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 12: Dollars, right, You're getting a good quality TV, but the

1239
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 12: picture quality won't leap out at you quite as much

1240
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 12: as it will with a TCL or a High Sense.

1241
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,959
Speaker 12: And I really am serious about steering your attention toward

1242
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 12: those brands. There are a lot of brands that we

1243
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 12: may remember from our past, like Tosh for instance, or Sharp.

1244
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 12: Those are not the same brands that they used to be,

1245
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 12: and the quality of their products isn't quite what it

1246
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 12: used to be. They can be fine, but if you

1247
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 12: really want to get the most for your money, take

1248
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 12: a look at the TCL and High Sense brands. I

1249
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 12: think that's the best advice I can give your listeners

1250
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 12: right now.

1251
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like I said, I went with the high Sense.

1252
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: I think it was the U eight and I love

1253
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: my TV. It's so great and it's I mean, the

1254
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: picture is just fantastic. People come over for like sports

1255
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: games like this looks so great, Like what are you

1256
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: doing differently? I'm like, I don't know. I just had

1257
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: this guy on my radio show that recommended it and

1258
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: I got it, so, I mean, and it works. So

1259
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I think I've sold a lot of high sense TVs

1260
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: and it's great. Okay, less than thirty seconds. Who's doing

1261
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: the best smart TV interface right now?

1262
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 12: Well, if you don't count Apple TV, I mean, Apple

1263
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 12: TV is my favorite because no ads, right, but it's

1264
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 12: an add on, right, you've got to get a box

1265
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 12: to do it, the built in stuff. Google TV it's

1266
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 12: my favorite right now. I think that it offers the most,

1267
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 12: uh with the least intrusions, and it's just a smooth

1268
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 12: interface that I think people get comfortable with real quick.

1269
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: And they're gonna add Gemini AI too. I saw the

1270
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: preview of the TCL that's gonna have the Gemini AI.

1271
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: That's probably gonna come to a lot of TVs. So

1272
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: AI on your TV. That's probably something to look out for,

1273
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, Caleb Dennison, thanks so much for joining

Speaker 3: Hey, Rich, and I hope you're doing well, doing well?

1308
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: Thank you?

1309
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I have a Galaxy twenty four Ultra, which I

1310
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 3: absolutely adore, and for some reason, it won't let me

1311
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 3: update from one UI seven to one UI eight. I've

1312
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 3: gone in the system settings and down the software update

1313
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 3: and clicked it and it's it planks out for a while,

1314
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 3: and then it says you your software is up to date,

1315
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 3: but I don't know how to force it?

1316
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 8: Is there?

1317
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 9: Do you?

1318
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 3: Are you aware of any methods?

1319
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: There is a method, but one UI eight is not

1320
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: available yet for that. Oh really, yeah, that's the thing.

1321
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: So here, okay, this is this is I was actually

1322
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: going to talk about one UIA on the show today

1323
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: because I downloaded one UI e almost I believe it

1324
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: was like months ago, I mean many many months ago

1325
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: as the beta. So the day they said, oh you

1326
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 1: can get a beta of this, I downloaded to the

1327
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: S twenty five Ultra, which is you know, the one

1328
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 1: after yours, right, And then of course this week they

1329
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: came out and they said we're rolling out one uia

1330
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: to phones. I said, wait, what, I've had this on

1331
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: my phone for like months, and I forgot that it

1332
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: was a beta because I've had it on there so long.

1333
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: So the official rollout for one UI eight started on

1334
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: September fifteenth, beginning with the S twenty five series, and

1335
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: then it's going to come to the S twenty four,

1336
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: the Fold six, and the Flip six later this year.

1337
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure, Adale, did you get word that

1338
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: this was supposed to be available for your S twenty

1339
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: four yet or are you just thinking it would be No.

1340
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 3: I just keep reading every article that I get online

1341
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 3: is about one UI eight and AI and Homeline RG

1342
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 3: or whatever. It just feels like everybody has it but me.

1343
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I hate that feeling.

1344
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 9: Well popping at the bit.

1345
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: Yes, and I hear you because you don't have the

1346
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: you don't have all the AI stuff on your phone

1347
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: right now because of that.

1348
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 3: No, But I'm not really a big AI person. I

1349
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 3: kind of think AI misses things up a little bit

1350
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,720
Speaker 3: for like Google Home and things like that, So I

1351
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 3: don't really use AI too much.

1352
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I mean it does add a lot of

1353
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 1: nice features, but a lot of it is AI on

1354
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: the new one Uia. It also has like kind of

1355
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: a different, you know, little bit of a polished look

1356
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: and feel. Do you have circle for circle to search on?

1357
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 10: There?

1358
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: Is that on your phone yet?

1359
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm sorry the phone link out?

1360
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 9: Do I have circle to what circle to search?

1361
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 3: So?

1362
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: Can you press and hold kind of the bottom of

1363
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: your phone, like the at the way bottom and like

1364
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: it'll square yeah, and it'll let you circle like things

1365
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: on the screen. Okay, So I mean, look, I mean

1366
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: you're apparently you don't have this available just yet. It

1367
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 1: looks like it's just rolling out to the S twenty

1368
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: five series and then typically they'll roll it out to

1369
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 1: the other ones a little bit after that. So I

1370
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: don't think you're being left out just yet. Dale the

1371
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: way you know in the future, and I guess for

1372
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: for folks that are listening that may want to get

1373
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: a Samsung update, Samsung is a little different than the

1374
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 1: way Apple updates. So Apple pushes out the update from

1375
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: Cooper Tino and it goes to all iPhones pretty much

1376
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: at the same time. The way Samsung devices work is

1377
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: you may get the update on a rolling method, or

1378
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,799
Speaker 1: you may get it from your carrier, and every carrier

1379
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: is different when they push that software out, so it's

1380
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 1: a little bit of a more staggered rollout than it

1381
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: is with the iPhone. Now, if you want to force

1382
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: an update, like if you know there's an update for

1383
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: your phone and you're just not getting it, you're smashing

1384
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: that update button, it's just not doing anything. That's me.

1385
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: You can download the what is it called the smart

1386
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: Switch app, and so Samsung makes this smart switch software

1387
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: for Windows and Mac and if you plug your phone

1388
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: into your computer, it pretty much gives you the soft

1389
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: the latest software update for that phone. Like before, you

1390
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: can get it over the air like nine times out

1391
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: of ten. So I haven't done it in a while,

1392
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:37,719
Speaker 1: but that's the way I used to force the update

1393
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: when I knew there was one, before I got it

1394
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: on my phone. The other thing is, and I talked

1395
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 1: about this before, on the Samsung devices, you can go

1396
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: in and get the latest Google updates by going into

1397
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: your settings, and it's under I believe it's under Security

1398
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 1: and Updates. There's a Google Play update, and so you

1399
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: can go in there and get the Google Play update

1400
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 1: and and that usually adds new Google features to your phone.

1401
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: And sometimes these will be done automatically on your phone

1402
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: and sometimes not. But I'm going to try to attempt

1403
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: to reach over and get this phone, so bear with

1404
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: me here. Okay, I'm getting my Samsung phone so I

1405
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: can check to see exactly where this is because I

1406
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: hate to tell you stuff on the radio and just

1407
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: say oh yeah, just go over there and look for that.

1408
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,480
Speaker 1: And you're like, wait, rich, what So go to settings.

1409
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: That's a little gear icon. Then scroll down to where

1410
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: it says Security and Privacy, and then you'll see where

1411
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: it says updates. You tap updates and there should be

1412
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: a couple of sections here where it will show you

1413
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:38,600
Speaker 1: the different updates that you can get, and one of

1414
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: them is a security update, the other is a software update,

1415
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: and the other one is a Google Play update. So

1416
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 1: do all of those updates on your phone if you

1417
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: have an Android and you'll get all of the latest features.

1418
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:53,080

1434
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: coming up next. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

1435
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 1: DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology at Triple

1436
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four

1437
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: to two four one zero one. A lot of you

1438
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 1: downloading the new iOS twenty six. Yes, Apple skip from

1439
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty six. Couple of things to know there.

1440
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to update to iOS twenty six if

1441
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to. I think you should because you know, uh,

1442
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm I just like the punishment of trying new things

1443
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 1: every single day of my life. But that's what I

1444
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 1: signed up for. But for you, yeah, it's gonna look

1445
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: and feel a lot different. The good news is the

1446
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,839
Speaker 1: functionality is pretty much the same, but the visual nature

1447
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: of iOS twenty six is vastly different. And I posted

1448
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 1: this on my Instagram at richon Tech. If you want

1449
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 1: to get rid of some of these see through elements

1450
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 1: of it, you can go into your settings and let's

1451
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: see where you go here settings accessibility, display and text size,

1452
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: and you could turn on reduce transparency and that will

1453
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: make a lot of the stuff less glassy like and

1454
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: more just the way it used to look. So that's

1455
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: number one. Then I got an email from Midge just

1456
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: now saying, since the update on my phone, I don't

1457
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: like the movement in messages, how can I fix that?

1458
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: Which is funny because I was just marveling at how

1459
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: beautiful messages looks when you type now it's it's got

1460
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: all these little movement and motions, but I get it.

1461
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 1: Not everyone likes that motion. So you can go into

1462
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: settings and then you can go into accessibility and then motion,

1463
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: and there is an option to reduce motion and that

1464
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: will reduce a lot of the animations and things that

1465
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: you see when it comes to sending messages and stuff.

1466
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, right under that setting under motion

1467
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: is something called vehicle motion cues. If you get carsick

1468
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: when you're looking at your screen in your car when

1469
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: you're moving, turn on vehicle motion cues. I was using

1470
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 1: this the other day. I discovered it. It is really good.

1471
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: It puts all these little dots on your screen that

1472
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: move with the motion of your car, and somehow it

1473
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: just helps your brain get less I don't know, all

1474
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: over the place when you're looking at your screen and

1475
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: so you don't feel as carsick. And believe me, I

1476
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: was on a really windy road looking at my phone

1477
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: and it was doing wonders for me. So you want

1478
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: to if you get car sick looking at your your smartphone,

1479
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 1: check out the option in iOS under settings accessibility Motion

1480
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: vehicle motion cues and you can have them turned on automatically,

1481
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 1: so whenever you're in your car and you're looking at

1482
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: your phone. And by the way, this is not when

1483
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 1: you're driving. This is when you are a passenger in

1484
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 1: your car. Please don't text and drive. Please don't just

1485
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: drive distracted. It can wait. You can turn on this

1486
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 1: vehicle motion cues automatically, and just every time you're you know,

1487
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: in your car, it will just turn on. You'll see

1488
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 1: these little dots on your screen that help you, I guess,

1489
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 1: stay centered and grounded somehow. It's a really cool feature.

1490
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to line three. Julie is in

1491
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:45,959
Speaker 1: San Diego. Julie, you're on with Rich, which.

1492
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 5: I need your help. I was just reading your newsletter

1493
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 5: about the end of Windows pen or the support. But

1494
01:15:56,040 --> 01:16:00,719
Speaker 5: I really I'm old Rich, and I'm afraid to click

1495
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 5: the button to switch to upgrade to Windows eleven. I'm

1496
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 5: afraid for three things. If it'll mess up my mail

1497
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 5: I use Outlook from Cox via Yahoo, and will it

1498
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 5: mess up my bookmark? And will it mess up my

1499
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 5: desktop icons?

1500
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 1: Good question? And uh, you know it's going to change

1501
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: some things. You know, what you're talking about should be fine.

1502
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: Can I guarantee that everything's gonna be perfect once you

1503
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: have migrated to Windows eleven. No, I can't guarantee that.

1504
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Because things change. There's gonna be little changes, there's gonna

1505
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 1: be big changes. There's gonna be visual changes, under the

1506
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 1: hood changes, so there's gonna be a lot that's different.

1507
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 1: But I think at the end of the day, I

1508
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: don't think it is going to affect what you do

1509
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 1: there on a daily basis in a meaningful way. So

1510
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: you'll still be able to check your mail, You'll still

1511
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: be able to get your bookmarks because those are what

1512
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: program are using for your bookmarks. Is it is it

1513
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:03,640
Speaker 1: Chrome or is it Edge?

1514
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1515
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 4: I use Google Chrome.

1516
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 1: Okay, you'll be fine there Google Chrome. Nothing's changing there,

1517
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,799
Speaker 1: So you'll still be fine there. Your desktop, your icons,

1518
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: those should not change, you know, are they You know

1519
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,600
Speaker 1: you have all your programs that you use on there basically.

1520
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 4: You know, pictures and.

1521
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 3: The mail, and you.

1522
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 1: Know it should all be there. It should It should

1523
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,719
Speaker 1: all stay there unless something is not supported or anything

1524
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: like that, like it could you know, could it change

1525
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 1: could it change the way they look? Could it change

1526
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: their locations? Sure it could do that, but it's not

1527
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: supposed to do that. The main thing that you're going

1528
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: to notice when you update to Windows eleven is the

1529
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 1: start menu and the taskbar are going to be a

1530
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: little bit different. So the start menu and the icons

1531
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: are now centered. This is how you know computer's running

1532
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Windows eleven. If you see the start button and the

1533
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: icons in the middle of the taskbar, that means that

1534
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: computer has been upgraded to Windows eleven. If it's on

1535
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 1: Windows ten, it's still give me on the left side.

1536
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at my computer right now. I've got

1537
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,720
Speaker 1: the little Windows icon, I've got the search I think

1538
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: there's probably a lot more AI in the Windows eleven.

1539
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: They just kind of added a lot more of that stuff.

1540
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: But you know, you can ignore a lot of that stuff,

1541
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 1: but the design and look is going to be different.

1542
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 1: There's also one thing that I really like is the

1543
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: window management. So you can snap your windows. If you

1544
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: kind of drag a window up to the upper middle

1545
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 1: section of your screen, you'll see all these little areas

1546
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: that you can so you can, you know, tile your

1547
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 1: windows side by side. You can make one on the left,

1548
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,719
Speaker 1: one on the right. It's a little bit bigger, smaller.

1549
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 1: You can do four windows, one in each corner. So

1550
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: there are some benefits to this. I would say, Julie,

1551
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: if you don't want to update and you were reading

1552
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: the newsletter, maybe just follow the directions to extend the

1553
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: security updates for one more year, and that way you

1554
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: can call me next September and say, Rich now I'm

1555
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:58,719
Speaker 1: at the end of the line. I have to upgrade

1556
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: because Microsoft which is no longer providing security updates for

1557
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Windows ten even after the one year extension. So right now,

1558
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: and thanks for the culture, because I know a lot

1559
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: of people are wondering about this. But you know Windows

1560
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: ten support ends on October fourteenth, twenty twenty five. That

1561
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: means you've got less than a month to figure out

1562
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 1: what you're going to do with your Windows ten. Now,

1563
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean Windows ten is going to stop working.

1564
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 1: It means that Windows Microsoft will stop providing security updates

1565
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: for Windows ten. What does that mean. It means that

1566
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 1: your system will be susceptible to hackers, to exploits, to

1567
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 1: any sort of security issue that may happen. And you

1568
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: do not want that to happen to you. So you

1569
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: need to do one of two things. You have to

1570
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: update your computer to Windows eleven. If it says you

1571
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 1: can do that, go ahead, do that, and if you're

1572
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,600
Speaker 1: fine with change, you're fine with slightly different methods of

1573
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: doing things and a slightly different look to Windows, go

1574
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: ahead and do it. It should be fine. If you

1575
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: don't want to do that, and you want to take

1576
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: one more year to your feet and just think about things,

1577
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: and you like the way things are and you want

1578
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: to keep things status quo for the next year. Microsoft

1579
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 1: is ending is offering what's called Extended Security Updates ESU

1580
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: through October of next year, so you can get one

1581
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,799
Speaker 1: year of security patches, no new features, no bug fixes,

1582
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: just security patches four Windows ten until October of next year.

1583
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: There's three ways you can do that. You can do

1584
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 1: it for free if you back up to one drive.

1585
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: So if you back up some files and folders and

1586
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: things to one drive, it'll say, okay, fine, you can

1587
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: have this for one year. You can redeem a thousand

1588
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Microsoft Rewards points. You can check your Rewards points if

1589
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: you just search Microsoft Rewards and click that used to

1590
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: be called bing Rewards, and you sign in. You'll see

1591
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: how many rewards points you have. I have liked a

1592
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,760
Speaker 1: couple thousand just by not doing anything, so you can

1593
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: definitely hopefully have a thousand of them. You can search

1594
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 1: on bing and things like that to earn them for free,

1595
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: or you can pay thirty dollars one time and you

1596
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: can extend your security updates. So three options, okay, and

1597
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: you can do up to ten PCs per Microsoft account. Now,

1598
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: I found this great article from Windows Central. I will

1599
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 1: link it up on the show notes, but Windows Central

1600
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:21,600
Speaker 1: basically did the step by step enrollment for how to

1601
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: get these extended updates. Open Settings on your PC, go

1602
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: to Update and Security, and then tap Windows Update. Okay,

1603
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this right now because I like to

1604
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: do this as I'm talking to you. So I'm going

1605
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: to Settings on my computer here, okay, and then I'm

1606
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna tap Update and Security. Okay. Well, my computers does

1607
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: not want to do this right now for some reason.

1608
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, folks, it's that easy. My computer won't

1609
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: even do it. I don't know why it's frozen on

1610
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: that for some reason. You know, it might be this

1611
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 1: hotel WiFi. Who knows. Anyway, So Settings on your PC

1612
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: update insecurity, Windows Update. You've probably gone to Windows Update

1613
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: before to check for updates on your system, so check

1614
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 1: for updates. You have to be on Windows ten twenty

1615
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,719
Speaker 1: two h two. That's the big update that they pushed

1616
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: through a couple of months ago. So Windows ten twenty

1617
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: two h two, that's a big, big update. And then

1618
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: you should see an end of support notification. So once

1619
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: you see that, it's a little banner underneath your updates,

1620
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: you can do the updates or you can do the

1621
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: end of support notification. Click that. It says in roll now.

1622
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: You click that and you choose your option the one

1623
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,759
Speaker 1: drive backup I mentioned, the Microsoft Rewards points I mentioned,

1624
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: or the one time thirty dollars purchase. You follow all

1625
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 1: those prompts and you tap done, and you can think

1626
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: about your computer next year. But in that time you

1627
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 1: will have to think about getting a new PC or

1628
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,719
Speaker 1: upgrading to Windows eleven if your computer supports it. Now,

1629
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:56,799
Speaker 1: there are some ways to force Windows eleven on your computer,

1630
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:01,800
Speaker 1: and uh, pocket lint this this is warning, this is

1631
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 1: for advanced users. But pocket Lint featured an app called

1632
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 1: fly ub fl yo b E. This can bypass all

1633
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: the checks that Microsoft does on your computer to run

1634
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 1: Windows eleven on an unsupported PC, and it's very very

1635
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: easy to do apparently. But you want to back up

1636
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: your files and folders before you use this. And this

1637
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 1: is a third party installer, so there could be some

1638
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: risks to doing this, so advanced users only. But the

1639
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: program is fly oo b E. You can bypass the

1640
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: Windows ten security checks and install Windows eleven on unsupported PCs.

1641
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,760
Speaker 1: I'll link it up rich on Tech dot tv more

1642
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 1: rich on Tech come your way right after this. Welcome

1643

Speaker 1: with you, talking technology. Did you know you can watch

1645
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: some of this show on your TV. Yes. We record

Speaker 1: minutes of this show, plus more in depth versions of

1652
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 1: my TV segments. So it's a pretty cool show. We

1653
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 1: put it together every week and it's just a fun

1654
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: way to see all the stuff that I do in

1655
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 1: one place. All right, let's go to line too. Rita

1656
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: is in Sunland. Rita, what's going on?

1657
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 4: Hi? Rich?

1658
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 13: Well, first of all, thank you for making the Labyrinth

1659
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 13: of Technology a little less scary. You're a tremendous help.

1660
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 13: You sure, but I'll tell you what's going on. I

1661
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 13: see these ads for less expensive cell phone carriers. I'm

1662
01:24:55,479 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 13: with the Big V and I'm not impressed with their

1663
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 13: less and stellular service. And they're expensive, needlessly expensive, I think.

1664
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 13: But I'm afraid if I switch. You see my cell

1665
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 13: phones linked up to my TV, linked up to the Internet,

1666
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 13: linked up to.

1667
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 4: The Wi Fi.

1668
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 13: You know, I'm with all these different companies, you know,

1669
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 13: Google TV and then spectrum jets for Internet. And if

1670
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 13: I which cell phone carriers? Is that going to scramble everything?

1671
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: Uh? It shouldn't. What do you mean when you say

1672
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: it's connected to all these things? What do you mean

1673
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: by that? Because the phone is its own thing. You've

1674
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: got a phone number, that phone number will remain the same.

1675
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: What do you mean it's connected to all these things

1676
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 1: like the Wi Fi like you're using your hot spot.

1677
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:54,640
Speaker 13: I guess I don't know. I used to have spectrums

1678
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 13: for table but that was so expensive and a friend

1679
01:25:57,479 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 13: of mine said, oh, well, you know you don't need it,

1680
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 13: just get spectrum for the Internet, and uh uh, So

1681
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 13: that's that's what I have for my Internet, and that's

1682
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 13: linked up to the TV. And yet it's all also

1683
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:16,680
Speaker 13: hooked up to my phone. It seems like it's all connected.

1684
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: Well it is, but I think look here at the

1685
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 1: bottom line is Rita, how much you paying for the

1686
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 1: big V? How much you paying for that.

1687
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 8: One?

1688
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? You? And how many phones do you have?

1689
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 2: One?

1690
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 1: Okay? And how are you like a content creator power user?

1691
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 1: Are you using a lot of hot Spot?

1692
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:35,800
Speaker 8: Like?

1693
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:40,440
Speaker 1: What do you use your phone for on a daily basis?

1694
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 13: To check and see if my friends are still alive?

1695
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: Oh? Wow?

1696
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 13: You know, I mean, I'm not a real It's like

1697
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 13: I don't even have a website anymore. You know, I'm

1698
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,799
Speaker 13: not real tech savvy.

1699
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 4: You know, I'm on Facebook.

1700
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,759
Speaker 1: So you're using your phone? Yes, you're using your phone

1701
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: to stay connected with friends, make phone calls, check your

1702
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: social media. You're not sitting there uploading large files, downloading

1703
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,839
Speaker 1: large files that kind of stuff on a daily basis?

1704
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

1705
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 9: Okay?

1706
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 1: Are you traveling a lot? Are you going to different

1707
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: cities all the time?

1708
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 13: I go from the kitchen to the living room, to

1709
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 13: the backyard and maybe to rout.

1710
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 1: Okay, and your signal works well in all those places.

1711
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 13: Yes, yes, it does.

1712
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: So a couple things. So there. There really is not

1713
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 1: a downside of switching to another carrier. Now there is one,

1714
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: and I will tell you what the downside is, but

1715
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 1: there's So you're on Verizon. Verizon owns a carrier called Visible. Okay,

1716
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: you can sign up for You can sign up for

1717
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: Visible today, get access to that same exact signal that

1718
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 1: is coming into your home right now from Verizon, and

1719
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: you will pay nineteen dollar a month for one year.

1720
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 1: You will not notice the difference in your phone. It

1721
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 1: will work the same, Your Internet will work the same,

1722
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: your phone calls will work the same, your text messages

1723
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 1: will work the same. The big downside is there are

1724
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: no stores for Visible. There's no customer service that you

1725
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 1: can call easily for Visible, so if you needed help,

1726
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: that would be an issue. And that is I think

1727
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: the big difference between these Envy and o's and something

1728
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: like a Verizon. You have a problem, read it with

1729
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 1: your Verizon, your phone, your plan, whatever. You can walk

1730
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: into a store.

1731
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 2: Now.

1732
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: I walked into a store the other day. The line

1733
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 1: was like two hours long. I said, never mind, I

1734
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 1: walked right out. So I'm not saying it's a perfect situation,

1735
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 1: but you know, it's still an option. But with that said,

1736
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 1: if you want to try one of these Envy and O's,

1737
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 1: and I'd probably recommend Visible for you because you already

1738
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 1: have Verizon and you know it works and it's there.

1739
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 1: You would have to activate this plan through an app,

1740
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit tricky. I did it my wife,

1741
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: it's not you know, it can be tricky, but if

1742
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: it works, it's great. And by the way, you know,

1743
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,519
Speaker 1: my wife's line went from paying one hundred dollars for

1744
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: her line to paying less than you know, forty dollars

1745
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 1: for her line, So it can save you a lot

1746
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: of money. It depends how many headaches you want to

1747
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 1: have when you switch, because if you know what you're doing,

1748
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 1: like me, it's fine. I can sign up for this

1749
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 1: one called US Mobile. I can activate a line on

1750
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 1: them in about less than ten minutes and have it

1751
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 1: up and running. But I do this all the time.

1752
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 1: But if you're concerned about this, if you're concerned about

1753
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 1: what you're doing, that's why people stay with the traditional

1754
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 1: carriers because it's simple, it's easy. You're paying a lot more,

1755
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 1: you're paying a premium for it, for sure, but you

1756
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:44,320
Speaker 1: do get that customer service and you do get that

1757
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: help when you need it. But if there's one that

1758
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: I would look into for you, rita check out Visible

1759
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 1: by Verizon, see if they might work for you. All right,

1760
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:53,640
Speaker 1: coming up, we're going to talk about an app that

1761
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 1: helps you disconnect a little bit and get one with

1762
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 1: nature right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to

1763
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,

1764
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:07,720
Speaker 1: talking technology. The website rich on Tech dot tv. That's

1765
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 1: where you can get more information about anything I mentioned

1766
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: on the show mentioned earlier. Broadcasting live from Las Vegas.

1767
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:20,439
Speaker 1: Looking out my window, it is beautiful. Oh my gosh,

1768
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,439
Speaker 1: beautiful weather in Las Vegas, like probably the best I've

1769
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 1: ever experienced. But on the way here, I don't know

1770
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 1: what happened, like flash flooding, like the worst rainstorm I've

1771
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 1: ever had to drive through in my life. Thankfully my

1772
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 1: wife was driving. I actually did it uber style were

1773
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:38,639
Speaker 1: we were stuck in so much traffic that I ended

1774
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:40,960
Speaker 1: up checking my email in the backseat and she like

1775
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 1: didn't mind driving. I was like, oh, this is great.

1776
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in an uber It was awesome. Anyway,

1777
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 1: we're here, we're having a great time, and we're here

1778
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:51,280
Speaker 1: for the iHeart festival, which is always a good time.

1779
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 1: So got to meet a lot of great people from

1780
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 1: the company and hopefully it translates into better stuff for

1781
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:02,200
Speaker 1: this show. All right, let's Evan Rappaport. He's got an

1782
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 1: app called nature Me. Evan is formerly with Google's Moonshot. Yeah.

1783
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just so much to talk about here, Evan,

1784
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 1: let's just bring you on and explain it all. Welcome

1785
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:14,960
Speaker 1: to the show.

1786
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, really excited to be here today.

1787
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 1: So what does it mean Google Moonshot? I know, that's

1788
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:25,680
Speaker 1: like all their things that they do where they just

1789
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:27,479
Speaker 1: like reach for the stars, right, Like these are like

1790
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 1: these big ideas. Can you explain what you did there?

1791
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 9: Yeah? I worked at a division called Google X and

1792
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,600
Speaker 9: then another one called Google Brain, and we work on moonshots,

1793
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:39,720
Speaker 9: which are big, crazy ideas that don't seem possible. They

1794
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,559
Speaker 9: almost seem like science fiction. And so we come up

1795
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:44,240
Speaker 9: with these ideas and we try to figure out how

1796
01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:46,520
Speaker 9: do we make the world a better place using technology?

1797
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 1: Oh wow, was there anything that came to fruition in

1798
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 1: your time there?

1799
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, Actually, everything you see in the generative AI space

1800
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 9: right now, text image, text to video, all medical assistance.

1801
01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 9: That was some of the projects that I helped get

1802
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 9: started when I was at Google Research and Google Brain,

1803
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:04,639
Speaker 9: and things that helped the ocean, things that help detect

1804
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 9: endangered species and protect them with bioacoustic models, lots of

1805
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:08,799
Speaker 9: fun stuff.

1806
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's so wild. And I'm sure you're

1807
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:14,720
Speaker 1: following the nano banana, Like everyone's going wild over this

1808
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:19,320
Speaker 1: update that I was showing some family members today because

1809
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,240
Speaker 1: my sister I was like, we took a bunch of

1810
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: pictures and I said, here, watch you can erase people

1811
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 1: from these pictures. And she had no idea how to

1812
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 1: do that. And I was like, watch, you could do

1813
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 1: it right in Google Photos. And sure enough, she's like,

1814
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:30,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I can't believe it. Like it's like

1815
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:33,480
Speaker 1: stuff for you know, we take for granted maybe you're

1816
01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 1: in the tech space, you kind of on the cutting edge,

1817
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,960
Speaker 1: but you know when you just show regular people this stuff,

1818
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:39,680
Speaker 1: it's like I just didn't even know I can do that,

1819
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:43,440
Speaker 1: like right for my phone. So let's talk about in Amphibian.

1820
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:45,720
Speaker 1: This is your new startup, and you've got a new

1821
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: app called nature Me, which is helping people reconnect with

1822
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 1: nature through eyes, open mindfulness. Explain what you mean by that.

1823
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I grew up as a kid playing

1824
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 9: out in the streams and in the forests and all that.

1825
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:02,759
Speaker 9: But I also got a computer when I was five,

1826
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:04,760
Speaker 9: and I loved your show because I used to answer

1827
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:06,840
Speaker 9: all these kinds of questions for my family as well

1828
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 9: when they would call. And so my whole life, I've

1829
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 9: been trying to balance being a tech geek but also

1830
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 9: being a nature lover. And so when I left Google

1831
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:18,920
Speaker 9: last year, I started Amphibian as a company to build

1832
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:22,680
Speaker 9: products and experiences that bring people back to nature. And

1833
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 9: so nature Me is our first app.

1834
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, keep going. So I okay, so nature Me

1835
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:30,680
Speaker 1: and then so explain what the app will help you do.

1836
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:34,400
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the website here Enjoy Nature, Reduce stress.

1837
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 1: So how does it help you? I mean, there's obviously

1838
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of irony that you're using an app

1839
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 1: to connect with nature, but I'm sure you've thought through

1840
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 1: that as well.

1841
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,639
Speaker 9: We sure have. Yeah. So nature Me is an app

1842
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 9: very similar to a lot of mindfulness or meditation apps,

1843
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 9: if people are familiar with those, where you turn on

1844
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 9: an audio session and you listen to it for ten

1845
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 9: or fifteen minutes and it sort of helps you find

1846
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 9: peace and calm or whatever you're sort of seeking. The

1847
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 9: key difference is with nature me it's about having all

1848
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 9: of your senses tune into nature in the world around you,

1849
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 9: rather than focusing on your breath or your internal scene.

1850
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 1: So this is audio guided like, so do I go

1851
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 1: out on a hike and listen to this? Like, tell

1852
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 1: me what I would do? I download this app? And

1853
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:15,639
Speaker 1: then what do I do?

1854
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 9: Right? So you download the app and then the first

1855
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:22,040
Speaker 9: thing you would do is you could start with either

1856
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 9: or depending on which one you want to do. So

1857
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 9: you go into your.

1858
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:29,839
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, we're we're having a little bit of breakup.

1859
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 1: I think we've got a couple of people on the

1860
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 1: line with you. Maybe one of them could disconnect. I

1861
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 1: think it's it's taking up some of the bandwidth here. Okay,

1862
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 1: but see maybe that's a little bit better. So we

1863
01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 1: download the app, and uh, what do you do after that?

1864
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 9: You download the app and then you start with you're

1865
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:50,320
Speaker 9: sitting or walking whoever you prefer, whatever you got and uh,

1866
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 9: and it'll basically help guide you to pay attention to

1867
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 9: the nature around you. So it's either a sit spot

1868
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 9: or a.

1869
01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 1: What we call it ah, okay, Now I saw I

1870
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,960
Speaker 1: see here that you grew up upstate New York. You

1871
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:07,360
Speaker 1: caught frogs, crayfish, salamanders, fish. I mean, this is the difference.

1872
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 1: My wife and I were talking about this the other day. So,

1873
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, kids today, they're on there, they're they're basically

1874
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 1: the default is on their screen. They are literally when

1875
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 1: they're not doing something, they default to their screen. Now,

1876
01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:20,759
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, let's just give Sunday Morning,

1877
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:23,800
Speaker 1: Saturday Morning as an example, right, you would watch You'd

1878
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 1: get up, you'd beline it to the couch in the

1879
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 1: living room, and you would watch the cartoons that are

1880
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 1: on Saturday mornings. After about two or three hours whatever

1881
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:35,200
Speaker 1: it was, next thing, you know, there was a there

1882
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:38,679
Speaker 1: was a time where it would switch from amazing cartoons

1883
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 1: for kids to the boringest programming you could ever imagine,

1884
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:44,559
Speaker 1: geared towards adults, right, like some sort of Sunday Morning

1885
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, news program and you would know

1886
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 1: that's your signal to go outside and to stop watching

1887
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 1: the screen. Nowadays, I feel like there's less of those

1888
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 1: signals for kids because it's just all become unlimited. Is

1889
01:35:57,600 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 1: that what kind of drove you to create.

1890
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,839
Speaker 9: This it is. You know, I've been in the tech industry,

1891
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 9: working in Silicon Valley for a long time, and I

1892
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:09,719
Speaker 9: saw the opportunity to use technology to bring more wonder

1893
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,559
Speaker 9: and more joy into people's lives and for people to

1894
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 9: be excited about the world through technology rather than just

1895
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 9: excited about the technology. And so we created Nature of

1896
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 9: Me as a way to help you connect and find

1897
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:23,960
Speaker 9: wonder in the world, even if you're not using the app.

1898
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 9: And so it just helps you pay attention to the birds,

1899
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 9: or if you're sitting on the beach, to really notice

1900
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:31,760
Speaker 9: the sounds around you, and you know, whether you're in

1901
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 9: your backyard or on vacation. And that's what technology can do, right.

1902
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,400
Speaker 9: It could inspire us and make our world better rather

1903
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:40,680
Speaker 9: than having us become addicted to it.

1904
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 1: Isn't that so interesting that you know we think about like,

1905
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:48,639
Speaker 1: anytime I go outside and just be, you feel better.

1906
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean you really do, like no matter what you do,

1907
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 1: if you're just But as humans, we become so accustomed

1908
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 1: to always being on right, like always having to check

1909
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 1: our messages, always having to be you know, responding to

1910
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:05,200
Speaker 1: an email or responding to something that's incoming. Are there

1911
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: studies that show that just being ousid I always tell

1912
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:09,920
Speaker 1: my kids to go touch grass, right, like, just go

1913
01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:13,960
Speaker 1: get outside and just literally look for worms under rocks.

1914
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 1: Are there studies that show that that actually is good

1915
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:18,439
Speaker 1: for you still in twenty twenty five.

1916
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:22,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's tons of scientific research on this, and especially

1917
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:26,839
Speaker 9: with children. If you look at the Wilderness Awareness School,

1918
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:29,599
Speaker 9: this is our partner for Nature Me. They've been doing

1919
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 9: this since nineteen eighty three and they've taught over fifty

1920
01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 9: thousand people, lots of kids and adults, how to get

1921
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 9: out into nature. And the mental health benefits, the wellness benefits,

1922
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,320
Speaker 9: just the joy in your life. They're tremendous and people

1923
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:45,559
Speaker 9: could just look up however much science you want, but

1924
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:47,599
Speaker 9: you could just feel it for yourself when you walk

1925
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:49,559
Speaker 9: outside and take a deep breath or hear a bird

1926
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:51,880
Speaker 9: or look at a sunrise. And so you know it's

1927
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 9: been proven. And my backgrounds of cognitive science and neuroscience

1928
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:56,040
Speaker 9: and yeah, it's very proven.

1929
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:00,719
Speaker 1: You got these two core practices sit spot and wander.

1930
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 1: Can you explain?

1931
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, So, sind spot, just like it sounds, you find

1932
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:07,760
Speaker 9: a beautiful place. It could be in your backyard, it

1933
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:09,559
Speaker 9: could be if you're in an apartment on the porch,

1934
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:12,679
Speaker 9: just something where you could see nature, and for ten minutes,

1935
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:14,719
Speaker 9: fifteen minutes, you try to go back to that pot

1936
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 9: that spot about as often as you wish. And the

1937
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,560
Speaker 9: practices that nature me will offer are tuning into different senses,

1938
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:22,680
Speaker 9: so you know, first maybe you'll have your eyes and

1939
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:24,679
Speaker 9: then maybe you'll have your ears in a different practice.

1940
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:27,000
Speaker 9: Sometimes it'll be about listening to the birds, or paying

1941
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 9: attention to the sky or different things. And so what

1942
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,479
Speaker 9: you start to find is that there's actually wonder and

1943
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 9: inspiration and awe in all of these just everyday things

1944
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:39,120
Speaker 9: that we might have taken for granted. And so I

1945
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 9: really hope that people start to recognize that there's such

1946
01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:44,960
Speaker 9: amazing things around them all the time, and that if

1947
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:46,880
Speaker 9: you just put your screens down for a little bit

1948
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 9: and pay attention to the world, it's just as exciting.

1949
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 9: Do you have kids, By the way, I don't have kids.

1950
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:55,400
Speaker 9: I have a lot of friends, so I do.

1951
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:58,760
Speaker 1: Stand as well. So I you know, so I see

1952
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 1: what my kids do, and I see it. Here's the

1953
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:03,880
Speaker 1: thing that's also a challenge with the kids. Okay, it's

1954
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,080
Speaker 1: if you have kids and you do things a certain

1955
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:07,599
Speaker 1: way with them, you know, you want to do things,

1956
01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:10,679
Speaker 1: there's all these other people that are doing things completely different.

1957
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 1: Like my wife. We always say like, well, his friends

1958
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:15,280
Speaker 1: are on the iPad, they're online, and they're all there

1959
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 1: like playing this game. It's like there's always going to

1960
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 1: be someone online playing that game. That's why they designed

1961
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:21,960
Speaker 1: the game to be like that, right, Is that kind

1962
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:23,280
Speaker 1: of like my understanding?

1963
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, technology is very often designed right now

1964
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 9: to keep you addicted to it, and that's how people

1965
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:35,639
Speaker 9: make money using technology. And there are also technologies though,

1966
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:37,679
Speaker 9: that are about getting you out into the world where

1967
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 9: you don't need to be addicted to it in order

1968
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:42,000
Speaker 9: to get the benefits. And so that's what we're really

1969
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 9: focused on in nature me is how do we create

1970
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:47,240
Speaker 9: experiences for you that will enhance your life and bring

1971
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 9: you closer to people. Because one of the best things

1972
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 9: you could do when you've had an experience in nature

1973
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 9: is to tell a story about it to someone else.

1974
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:55,200
Speaker 9: So at the end of the day, at the dinner

1975
01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 9: table with your family, you can say, hey, guess what

1976
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 9: I did. I set outside for ten minutes and there

1977
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 9: was this little bug crawling on the ground and like,

1978
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:05,360
Speaker 9: but because I was actually really present with it.

1979
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:07,880
Speaker 14: It was so cool, like, think about this little bug

1980
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 14: moving along and like I found joy and wondering that,

1981
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 14: and you could just see your family's face lighting up

1982
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:16,040
Speaker 14: from that. You wouldn't get that with a video game story.

1983
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,639
Speaker 1: No, I was. I was in the wilderness a couple

1984
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:22,439
Speaker 1: of weeks ago with no cell signal for about eight

1985
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 1: hours with a group of people. We were doing a

1986
01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,680
Speaker 1: tour and we had to have lunch out there. And

1987
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. It was so weird because typically at

1988
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 1: a lunch like that with a bunch of journalists, you know,

1989
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 1: all at a table, you know, half of them would

1990
01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 1: be on their phone, half of them be doing stuff.

1991
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 1: We all had to like interact and talk, and we

1992
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:39,719
Speaker 1: were in the middle of like you know, all these

1993
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 1: nature like trees and stuff, and it was just such

1994
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,759
Speaker 1: a different experience. I sent my first satellite SMS message,

1995
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:47,960
Speaker 1: by the way, because there was no there was no

1996
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 1: traditional cell phone signal, but it was. It just made

1997
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,160
Speaker 1: me think the whole time that like, this is an

1998
01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:56,639
Speaker 1: entire world out there that a lot of people are

1999
01:40:56,680 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 1: just ignoring. Do you think we're gonna have like some

2000
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: sort of renaissance with humans where we're going to realize

2001
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 1: that like all this stuff outside that is just right

2002
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 1: there and just accessible freely is something that we need

2003
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 1: to tap into more.

2004
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,560
Speaker 9: I think you're exactly right. We're on the cusp of

2005
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:14,920
Speaker 9: these changes. You know, Pendulums kind of swing back and forth,

2006
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 9: and for the last few hundred years of recent studies

2007
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 9: showed we've become sixty percent more disconnected from nature as

2008
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:24,759
Speaker 9: a society, which is really scary for many, many reasons.

2009
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 9: But I'm sensing and I'm getting a lot of hope

2010
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:30,040
Speaker 9: from younger people right now, and also from people like

2011
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 9: me who are in their forties who are starting to

2012
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:34,679
Speaker 9: maybe burn out on their first round of career that

2013
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:37,320
Speaker 9: you know, geez, when I go outside, I just feel

2014
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:40,839
Speaker 9: more at peace. And I see, like younger people starting

2015
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:44,360
Speaker 9: to get these old school devices like Walkman's and you know,

2016
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,240
Speaker 9: I'm sure you've talked about that on your show, like

2017
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:48,160
Speaker 9: teenagers who are wanting to do it, and they're getting

2018
01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 9: around their school cell phone policy, but they're also starting

2019
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:52,759
Speaker 9: to find the joy of having a device that doesn't

2020
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:55,840
Speaker 9: have a screen and to get outside together. And I

2021
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 9: would just really bet on community. I would really bet

2022
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 9: on the fact that maybe coming out of COVID people

2023
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:03,439
Speaker 9: were more disconnected than they wanted, and now people are

2024
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:06,680
Speaker 9: starting to realize that when we come together, especially if

2025
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 9: it's outdoors in nature, we're just happier. So let's do

2026
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 9: more of that.

2027
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:12,760
Speaker 1: All right, well, you can do it. The app is

2028
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:17,280
Speaker 1: nature me Dot app. The website rather is nature me

2029
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:20,799
Speaker 1: Dot app. The app is called nature me. It's available

2030
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 1: for iPhone and Android. Evan Rappaport, thanks so much for

2031
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 1: talking about it today. Really appreciate it.

2032
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:26,960
Speaker 9: Thanks.

2033
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 3: Rich.

2034
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, we are going to open up

2035
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,599
Speaker 1: the feedback. These are the emails, the comments, the questions

2036
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 1: you sent me all week long. We'll get to that

2037
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 1: right after this. Welcome back to Rich on Tech. Rich

2038
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 1: Demiro here. Let's get to the feedback in just a moment.

2039
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 1: But first, little Samsung news, a little will I should say,

2040
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:51,840
Speaker 1: a little CS news. CS quickly approaching in January, always

2041
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:55,800
Speaker 1: the first couple weeks of January, but Samsung making a

2042
01:42:56,080 --> 01:43:01,200
Speaker 1: big CEES change for twenty twenty six. Samsung will have

2043
01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 1: it's they're saying they're gonna have their biggest CEES exhibit

2044
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 1: ever in twenty twenty six. But they're moving from the

2045
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Convention Center to the Win and Encore hotels.

2046
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 1: So they're still gonna be an official CS exhibitor, but

2047
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:18,839
Speaker 1: in a new location. So they're gonna put their TVs,

2048
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 1: their home appliances, and their other products all under one roof.

2049
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:26,920
Speaker 1: This larger setting is gonna be designed for demos and experiences.

2050
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 1: So this is a big change because typically Samsung has

2051
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: a hole, they have a big presence on the floor,

2052
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:35,720
Speaker 1: and then they have a whole bunch of satellite presences

2053
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 1: in other places, right like their appliances might be in

2054
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 1: one place, their TVs might be another place. So now

2055
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 1: they're putting it all in one massive location. So that's

2056
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:47,719
Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting, big change for Samsung. I thought

2057
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 1: at first they were ditching CS and they were kind

2058
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:52,880
Speaker 1: of gonna go unofficial, but no, they're still gonna be

2059
01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 1: an official exhibitor, just gonna have I guess, a really

2060
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:59,719
Speaker 1: big exhibit at the hotels. So I got to book

2061
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 1: my hot tels for CS, or my hotel, I should say,

2062
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:06,200
Speaker 1: because I usually do that in the summer. And we're

2063
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:09,080
Speaker 1: past that all right. Now it's time for the feedbag.

2064
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:12,920
Speaker 1: Gary writes in regarding the woman who wants to switch

2065
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:15,400
Speaker 1: to a cheaper cell phone planned. Verizon Prepaid is an

2066
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:17,840
Speaker 1: option I've had pre paid for years. I've always found

2067
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:20,120
Speaker 1: their customer service, vehicle or chat to be good. I

2068
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 1: paid twenty five dollars a month for five gigs of data.

2069
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:24,960
Speaker 1: That includes a five dollars auto paid discount as well

2070
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 1: as a ten dollars loyalty discount, which kicks in after

2071
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 1: nine months. They also offer unlimited plans for more money. Gary,

2072
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:33,680
Speaker 1: that is a good option. I guess I'm not sure

2073
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: if you can go into the store for that for help,

2074
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: but Visible is definitely cheaper because it's all unlimited for like,

2075
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 1: I think twenty five dollars is their main They're you know,

2076
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:45,600
Speaker 1: they're one plan. Hold on, they have two plans. I

2077
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:48,719
Speaker 1: think they have a twenty five and they changed them all. Okay,

2078
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:51,559
Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars, nineteen and thirty nine Okay, anyway, still

2079
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good deal, all right. Feedbag Joel writes in

2080
01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,439
Speaker 1: I enjoy listening to your podcast as I deliver my

2081
01:44:57,479 --> 01:45:01,720
Speaker 1: mail route. Your podcast is enjoyable and your approach is

2082
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 1: humble and well explained. With the release of iOS twenty

2083
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 1: six and Apple Watch OS twenty six, I found a

2084
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 1: better and free way to get voice memos transcribed from

2085
01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 1: my watch. Just use Apple Notes. The note is transcribed,

2086
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:16,320
Speaker 1: sync to your phone, and it can even share to

2087
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: reminders from there. I had handwritten notes with my Apple

2088
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 1: pencil on iPad. For me, it works better than the

2089
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 1: app you currently recommend. That app is Whisper Memos, Joel.

2090
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:27,600
Speaker 1: I like your system. I think it works great, and

2091
01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 1: I love that it's free. I slightly like Whisper Memos

2092
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,679
Speaker 1: just a little bit more for my purposes, just because

2093
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:38,600
Speaker 1: it not only transcribes, but it also emails me that transcription,

2094
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:40,360
Speaker 1: so I can deal with it in any way I

2095
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 1: want to. I personally don't use Apple Notes because it's

2096
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 1: not third party. It's not yet independent third party platform,

2097
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: which I like cross platform products. But that's a great

2098
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 1: solution as well. Zal from Brooklyn writes in you were

2099
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:58,679
Speaker 1: speaking last week about travel insurance, which got me thinking

2100
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:02,240
Speaker 1: what website would you recommend to track or predict international airfares.

2101
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:05,880
Speaker 1: The only site I really use for airfare tracking is

2102
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 1: Google Flights. No matter what, that's what I'm tracking everything

2103
01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:10,880
Speaker 1: on that, so I'm searching on Hopper is great for

2104
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 1: price predictions, and then if you want great deals, going

2105
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,599
Speaker 1: dot Com is really great. They will. I mean, you

2106
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 1: sign up for that, you will find some amazing deals

2107
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,200
Speaker 1: you got to take advantage of. Claudia writes in rich

2108
01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:24,800
Speaker 1: we happened to me in Las Vegas when I read

2109
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 1: your newsletter about the Zookes car. We're riding in it

2110
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:30,240
Speaker 1: right now. It's amazing and they included some pictures. I

2111
01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 1: was going to try to get in that Zeukes before

2112
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 1: I leave Las Vegas. That'd be kind of fun. Daniel,

2113
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 1: glad you made it through the accident without serious injury.

2114
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:40,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for the tip on updating Google play services. I

2115
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:42,760
Speaker 1: would have never thought to check that. I've been on

2116
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:46,760
Speaker 1: Android for decades. Yes, that tip on updating Google Play

2117
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:49,599
Speaker 1: services is really great. A lot of people overlook it,

2118
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:52,479
Speaker 1: and as you might expect, I did mention my accident

2119
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:55,479
Speaker 1: last week on the show. I got lots of lots

2120
01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 1: of emails. I'll try to get through some of them

2121
01:46:57,040 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 1: right now. Ralph writes in just wishing you a note

2122
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 1: for a quickly recovery from your accident. Life is fragile.

2123
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:07,639
Speaker 1: I'm appreciating every and appreciating every day is so important.

2124
01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:10,400
Speaker 1: I enjoy your segments on TV and your newsletters. I've

2125
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 1: adopted so many of your suggestions and gain knowledge of

2126
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 1: the tech world with each show and article. Keep up

2127
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:19,639
Speaker 1: the great work and heal quickly. Thank you, Diane. I'm

2128
