19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: on the show, Ryan Montgomery, founder of the cybersecurity firm

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: pen Tester. He's going to talk about that big Social

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: Security number breach and he made the tool that lets

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: you check to see if your numbers floating out there,

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: and he'll talk about that. Then we've got some folks

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: from Google to talk about all of their new devices,

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: Google Home, Google Pixel, Google Pixel Wearables. It's going to

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: be a great conversation with them. And later in the

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: show we're expecting to talk to Max Tegmark of the

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Future of Life Institute. He is expected to talk about

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: the good and bad of AI. But first this week,

30
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: I took a road trip to Mountain View, California. Yes,

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: I took a road trip in an all electric suv.

32
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: That's another story. I was testing it out. The new

33
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Rivian software lets you charge at Tesla superchargers, so I

34
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: tested out that functionality on my way up to Google

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: their bay View headquarters in Mountain View. This is a

36
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: brand new building. It's got like a lizard skin ceiling

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: or I don't know what you call it, roof tiles.

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: They're kind of solar. It's really really cool looking. And

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: that's where they held there Made by Google event. Typically

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: they hold this event in New York City every year.

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: This time they brought it home to San Francisco and

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: it was a good one. First off, all about AI.

43
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: Google is going all in on AI. Now, we already

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: heard this same story from Samsung We heard the same

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: story from Apple. But Google is in a unique position

46
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: because they have been working on AI for a very

47
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: long time. Most of it has been behind the scenes,

48
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: powering a lot of the features on their products. Now

49
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: they're saying, you know what, no, we're front and center.

50
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: This stuff is out there. Gemini is our baby, and

51
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: that's sort of their answer to chat GPS, and we

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: are going to put that in every product that we make.

53
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you've noticed.

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: If you log onto Gmail, if you log onto Google Search,

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: if you go onto Docs, YouTube, it has AI built

56
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: in in various ways. So for email, it might say

57
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: summarize this email. At the top of your search results,

58
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: you might get an AI powered search result. In Google Docs,

59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Gemini pops up and says, hey, do you want some

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: help with this document? So they are all over the

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: place with their AI, and they made a point to

62
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: take a dig at Apple saying, hey, we're making AI

63
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: that everyone can access. We're making AI that's built into

64
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: all of our products, not just our flagship top of

65
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: the line products. If you remember with Apple their AI,

66
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: Apple Intelligence is only going to be available on the

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen Pro and higher. That means a lot of

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: people have to upgrade this next cycle with their phone

69
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: if they want to get access to Apple's AI. With Google,

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: they are bringing it across all kinds of products and

71
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: all kinds of phones.

72
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: Now.

73
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: The new lineup includes the Pixel nine, the Pixel nine Pro,

74
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: and the Pixel nine Pro x L. They've got this

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: new processor inside called the Tensor G four. Not the

76
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: best processor in the world. Hopefully it's a little bit better.

77
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Runs kind of warm, runs kind of slow, but it's

78
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: been their little baby for a while now hopefully it's

79
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: a little bit better. In these new phones, improved durability,

80
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: larger display options. So what I like that they've done.

81
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: You've got the basic phone, which is the Pixel nine.

82
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Then you've got the Pixel nine Pro that comes in

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: two sizes, so you can now get the same specs,

84
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: but choose the size phone that you want to carry around.

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: So if you're like me, I've been carrying a big

86
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: phone for a while, I'm kind of ready for a

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: smaller device, So you can get it in a six

88
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: point three inch size or a six point eight inch size.

89
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: They also went with an improved camera setup, improved front

90
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: camera on the Pro models and the RAM. These things

91
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: have minimum twelve gigabytes of RAM in the Pixel nine.

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: In the Pixel pros they've got sixteen gigabytes of RAM,

93
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: that is as much as a laptop computer. And Google

94
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: says they're doing that because of the AI intensive tasks.

95
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: If you had an older Pixel and you notice the

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: fingerprint reader was a little slow, little wonky, it's now

97
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: fifty percent faster. I have not noticed any issues on

98
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: the review unit that I have, which is the Pixel nine.

99
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Can't give you my full review just yet, but I

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: will tell you I am loving it all right. Now,

101
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the new features on these devices.

102
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: First off, Gemini Live. This is wild. This is their

103
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 1: version of sort of a conversational AI assistant. I'm telling

104
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: you people are going to have relationships with these ais

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: because they sound so lifelike. You can choose from ten

106
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: different voices. They are all incredibly realistic, and you can

107
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: talk to them back and forth like you would a friend.

108
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: So you can just chat.

109
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: You can put your earbut in and chat back and forth,

110
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: or you can just chat with them on the phone.

111
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: You can interrupt them. You could just say stuff like

112
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: this morning, I was asking about the new pans that

113
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: I bought, like, what's the deal with nonstick pans?

114
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: Are they good for you? Bad for you?

115
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: And and I just answered like a regular person what

116
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: It was pretty incredible And it stays around in the background,

117
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: so even if your phone is closed you can are locked,

118
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: you can still talk to it.

119
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: I know.

120
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: Scary, scary, but kind of cool at the same time.

121
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Some of the other new AI features. Pixel Studio is

122
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: now a new app on these phones that is an

123
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: image generator, and it's one of the best I've seen

124
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: using AI. It's fast, it's simple, it's free, and it's

125
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: scary good. Pixel Screenshots is a new app that sounds

126
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: very simple, but it's actually quite powerful. So you know

127
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: all those screenshots you do on your phone to remember stuff, Well,

128
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: this index is them, so you can go back and

129
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: easily search the information in those. So if you get

130
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: an invite to a party, you screenshot it, next thing,

131
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, you could just search a keyword on that

132
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: invite find the information fast. It also kind of categorizes

133
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: these things. It gives all the original information from the

134
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: website that you screenshotted. So if you screenshot it a

135
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: purse that you're looking to get as a gift, for someone.

136
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: You can actually tap that information and go back to

137
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: that original website, so it keeps more of that rich

138
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: mat of data. Really really useful. Kind of cool pixel

139
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: weather app. I don't know why Google made such a

140
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: big deal out of redoing their weather app. I mean,

141
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: it's weather app, but it has AI generated reports right now.

142
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: So for instance, where I am, let me do the

143
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,119
Speaker 1: weather report, So you tap the AI generated weather report.

144
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't automatically, I guess it does automatically show it.

145
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: It says warm day with a high UV index, so

146
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: be sure to protect yourself from the sun. And then

147
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: it gives a couple other little insights. So AI Weather

148
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Report kind of cool, kind of fun. Then you've got

149
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: this new adme feature. This is kind of a wild one.

150
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: You know, when you're taking a picture with someone and

151
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: it's only just two of you, you got to take

152
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: a selfie. Maybe you ask someone else take can you

153
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: take our picture? Well, now you have the first person

154
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: stand there, take their picture. Then you swap. You go

155
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: have that person take the phone. You go stand there

156
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: and it merges the two photos together. You kind of

157
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: see a little ghost of the other person, so you

158
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: can line up the picture just right, and it merges

159
00:07:59,560 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: the picture.

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: Now.

161
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: In my experience testing this over the past couple of days,

162
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: it's not perfect, but it is brand new, and I

163
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: think they're still working on.

164
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: It, but it's kind of cool.

165
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: We'll see if it actually lives past like you know,

166
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: the the interesting novelty of it, versus like you know.

167
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: Later on.

168
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: They improve panoramic pictures. I mean, have you taken a

169
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: panoramic picture in a while? I haven't, but they improve those.

170
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: They also have a new call notes feature, so the

171
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: phone will record your conversations and give you a transcript

172
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: and summary when you're done. I know it sounds scary,

173
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: but Apple's doing the same exact thing. And for me,

174
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: my wife tells me a list of things I have

175
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: to do, I hang up the phone that I go, Now,

176
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: wait a second, what I have to do?

177
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 4: Now?

178
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to be I'm going to be a better

179
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: husband because of this feature. I'll tell you that.

180
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: Satellite SOS again, something that debuted on the iPhone two

181
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: years ago, is now coming to the Pixels. It's on

182
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: there so if you are in an area without cellular

183
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: or without Wi Fi, you can text for help. That

184
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: is incredible. Samsung can't believe they didn't come out with that,

185
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: because now the Pixel's got it, Now the iPhone has it.

186
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: Samsung better have that with the next go around on

187
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: their devices. Seven years of operating system updates and security

188
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: updates and new features seven years, So this phone's gonna

189
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: last for a while. Eight hundred bucks for the Pixel nine,

190
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: one thousand bucks for the Pixel nine Pro, eleven hundred

191
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: dollars for the Pixel nine pro Xcel. These are in

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: stores beginning on August twenty second. The Pixel nine Pro

193
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: is September fourth. By the way, they come with two

194
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: terabytes of cloud storage. The iPhone comes with five gigabytes.

195
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: Two terabytes of cloud storage. That's only for a year,

196
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: so if you fill it up, be prepared to pay

197
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: for you know, storage after that. Also, they came out

198
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: with the Pixel nine Pro fold This is their brand

199
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: new foldable phone, and again it's a much better version

200
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: of the original foldable. It's much thinner, it looks like

201
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: two phones kind of slap together, and it's much lighter.

202
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: Not much lighter, but it's lighter. That's eighteen hundred dollars.

203
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: That arrives on septem number fourth. The fold is much

204
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: better and I think they're going to find a much

205
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: bigger audience for this phone, but I still don't really

206
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: see the universal appeal of a foldable phone for the

207
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: average person who is not looking to spend eighteen hundred

208
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: dollars on a smartphone. All right, there you have it

209
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: from Made by Google. You can find more on the website.

Speaker 1: talking technology at triple eight rich one oh one. That's

218
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. Well,

219
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: I had no idea this morning when I posted a

220
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: little video to u Instagram my Instagram at rich on

221
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: Tech just how controversial evs are. I posted a video

222
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: of me charging o Rivian at a Tesla supercharger, and

223
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: I said, does this change your mind about getting an

224
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: EV And wow, did the comments come.

225
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: In hot and heavy.

226
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: I did not realize that half of America doesn't like

227
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: the idea of an EV maybe more. And the reasons

228
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: for not liking it range from too expensive, don't feel

229
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: like charging, takes too long to charge, just everything, the

230
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: batteries are not good for the environment. Lots of different reasons.

231
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: So anyway, if you want to post your comment, I

232
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: am reading them because I'm getting a kick out of them.

233
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: Just go to at rich on tech on Instagram. All right,

234
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. Let's go to Corey in Costa, Mesa. Corey,

235
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: welcome to the show.

236
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 5: Hey man, thank you for having me on.

237
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, what can I help you with?

238
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 4: So?

239
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 5: I saw on your Instagram the post about freezing your

240
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 5: credit and I read the blog post, but I must

241
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: have missed it, and I was a little confused. How

242
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 5: exactly do you do it?

243
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: Okay, good question.

244
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: So freezing your credit A lot of people have been

245
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: asking me about this because this big data hack of

246
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: two point seven billion records, including social security numbers. So

247
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: you can go online, you can check this database and

248
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: it will tell you if your information was leaked, and

249
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: sure enough, for a lot of people it has been.

250
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: So I never really thought about doing a credit freeze before.

251
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: But basically, once you freeze your credit and you can

252
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: do it all online. Nobody can open up as far

253
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: as I know, nobody can open up any credit account

254
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: in your name or pretty much any account in your

255
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: name because it's frozen. So when they put your social

256
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: into the bank computer, it says, nope, we gotta this

257
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: is frozen.

258
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: We can't do anything with this person.

259
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: So it protects you basically from identity theft as I

260
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: understand it, and it seems scary, it's it seems like

261
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: a lot of work, but honestly, I did it yesterday

262
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: morning in about i'd say thirty minutes for all three bureaus.

263
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: So there's three major credit reporting bureaus. There's Equifax, there

264
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: is TransUnion and Experience. And the thing is what's tricky

265
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: about them is that they are all at this point

266
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: trying to sell you on services like credit monitoring, credit improvement,

267
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: credit lock, whatever it is. But a credit freeze is free,

268
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: and it is instant, and it's very simple to do.

269
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: So I put the links. I'll put them on the

270
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: show notes. But Rich on tech dot TV hit the

271
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: light bulb up at the top. This is show number

272
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: eighty five. I'll put all the links there so you

273
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: can get the direct links because once you log in,

274
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of tricky to find the links on these

275
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: different websites because they hide them.

276
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: They don't want people to do this.

277
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: Obviously, TransUnion, their entire business is selling these credit reports

278
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: to banks and other places credit cards that they subscribe

279
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: to get this information, so they don't want people frozen

280
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: because it MUCKs up the whole system. But it's in

281
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: your best interest if you're exposed on one of these

282
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: data breaches. So anyway you go to the website, you

283
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: sign up for the websites, you have to create a

284
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: log in. When you create a log in, be sure

285
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: to create a strong, unique password. You do have to

286
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: provide some information, some personal information to verify you are

287
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: who you say you are. And then once you're logged in,

288
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: you can then navigate to these links that let you

289
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: freeze your credit and you can place a freeze in

290
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: a moment, you can unfreeze in another moment, and it's

291
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: very very simple. So that is the process. I found

292
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: it to be very easy. And the main thing is

293
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: that you do need to keep track of your log

294
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: in for these these different credit reporting agencies because if

295
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: you don't, if you ever need to unfreeze your credit.

296
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Let's say you're buying a house, you would need to

297
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: unfreeze your credit report. So that is the main thing

298
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: to know. If you're not opening up a credit card

299
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: or a bank account or a house loan, whatever it is,

300
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: it's not an issue. It's only an issue when you

301
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: need to do something with your credit. So it's probably

302
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: a good idea. You know, they have made it a

303
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: lot easier than in previous years now that everything's online.

304
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: But good question, Corey, Thanks for that question, appreciate it. Yeah,

305
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people we're going to talk about this

306
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: with our next guest, but a lot of people reeling

307
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: from this major data breach. Two point seven billion records

308
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: of personal information for US residents were leaked on a

309
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: hacking form name social security numbers, physical addresses, aliases. It

310
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: all comes from a company named National Public Data. This

311
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: is a company that collects and sells access to personal data,

312
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: mostly for background checks. This was two hundred and seventy

313
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: seven gigabytes of data. I checked mine, I checked my moms,

314
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: I checked other people's and it's a lot. It's out there,

315
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: and it's scary because we've seen data breaches before, but

316
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: this is very very complex information on a lot of

317
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: people all at once, and so you can guarantee that

318
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: this will get into the wrong hands and we're gonna

319
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: start seeing a lot of issues. This is only you know,

320
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: three four days in The information was leaked back in

321
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: April apparently, but it wasn't available on the open web

322
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: or the dark web. So now that it's available and

323
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: it's out there, that's when the scam artists start taking

324
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: this information and they start doing stuff with it. Now,

325
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: some of the information is out of date. It even

326
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: had my phone number from when I was growing up

327
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: was on this database. I mean I still remember it

328
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: like it was yesterday. I can still recite that phone number.

329
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean, how many phone numbers can you remember? At

330
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: this point I was going through with my mom. I

331
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: was like, can we how many phone numbers can we recite?

332
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: And it's really only a couple. But teacher, kids, you know,

333
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,400

00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: Ryan, welcome to the show.

352
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 6: Hey, nice to meet you, Rich. I spoke to you

353
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 6: last oh yeah, a couple of days ago. But it's

354
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 6: it's awesome being on the show and I appreciate you

355
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 6: inviting me.

356
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I know you've you've had quite the whirlwind week.

357
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: So mediately you run this cybersecurity firm. Explain what Pentester

358
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: does briefly.

359
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 6: Okay, so the short form of what Pentester does is, originally,

360
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 6: we built the platform around if anyone knows who I am,

361
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 6: we built the platform around investigating individuals, so you know,

362
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 6: I hunt down child predators and counter human trafficking. So

363
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 6: we figured, okay, let's build some build some tools for

364
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 6: open source intelligence, which is just a fancy word for

365
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 6: finding things about people online. Our platform, we figured, okay,

366
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 6: we can put this in the in the standard person's

367
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 6: hands and they can see their entire digital footprint and

368
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 6: then give them the option to remove all of that data,

369
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 6: you know, from all of these data broker websites, et cetera,

370
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 6: and know what breaches they're in with their passwords, their

371
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 6: credit cards, their socials, you know, the family members, you

372
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 6: name it. It's basically it's out there. There's just not

373
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 6: a centralized place to view it all. So originally we

374
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 6: built it for businesses and we didn't have the complete

375
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 6: function for personal, and then we realized the demand for

376
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 6: personal and we decided we're going to do whatever it takes.

377
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 6: And we were told literally by an attorney that it

378
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 6: would be a disservice to our customers if we did

379
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 6: not get breaches immediately as they were released to the public,

380
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 6: so we got to go ahead on that. We have stayed,

381
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 6: you know, true to that mission, and we have the

382
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 6: largest database in the world of breach credentials as well

383
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 6: as personal information as the other indicators. I just told

384
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 6: you recently, this database just came up. I was you know,

385
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 6: I downloaded it immediately as I saw it became public.

386
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 6: There's you know, roughly three billion records in it. It

387
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 6: was one one heck of a task to get all

388
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 6: of that into a database that was searchable for the

389
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 6: average person to and make it fast in the process

390
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 6: and handle like the traffic at the moment, we're getting

391
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 6: about twenty thousand users on the website, you know, at

392
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 6: per moment. So we had a huge, huge technical job

393
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 6: basically to make that thing stand up. And it's standing tall, thankfully.

394
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's a it's it's very bad. What we're

395
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 6: what we're dealing with right now is probably the worst

396
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 6: breach in the United States that I've ever seen.

397
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: That's wild, I I I would agree with that. And

398
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: and so a couple of things. First off, the regular

399
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: scan that you give, the digital footprint and scan that

400
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: you've always had on your website at pentester dot com

401
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: is just unbelievably complete and wild. The information that you

402
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: reveal on there, So just that is like all the

403
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: old stuff before this new stuff, and it's like so

404
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: eye opening more so than any other like data broker

405
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of remover website I've ever seen. But the new

406
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: tool is at NPD dot pentester dot com and that's

407
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: where you have this new database of this uh social

408
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 1: security number breach. I mean, so once you see your

409
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: information in there, what do you think people should do?

410
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: Is it the freeze the credit report? Is that the

411
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: best advice?

412
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 7: Yeah?

413
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 6: So so when you when you look up your information,

414
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 6: so NPD like National Public Database dot penttester dot com.

415
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 6: But it's the acronym as you said, we threw it

416
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 6: up there. You put in your first name, your last

417
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 6: name that that's any state that you've ever lived in,

418
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 6: not just the current state. Make sure you tried different

419
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 6: variations of spelling for your name, if you have a

420
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 6: maiden name or a different last name. Also searched that

421
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 6: because we can't you know, there's no way for us

422
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 6: to relate one record to another, so you know, make

423
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 6: sure when you're searching, you don't just assume, you know,

424
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 6: the state that you're living in with your current name

425
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 6: is not in there. I found, you know, I found

426
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 6: data that comes back twenty thirty years, Like yeah, my mom.

427
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 6: For example, my mom, her her credit I'm sorry, not

428
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 6: her credit, her her address from when she was a

429
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 6: teenager is in this database.

430
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a really wide ranging database. Like I,

431
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: like I said, I found my phone number from when

432
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: I was grown up as a kid was part of

433
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: this database.

434
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: So this is like, yeah, I.

435
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 6: Like where they got it. You know, I know there

436
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 6: were a background check company, but who gave them this data?

437
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

438
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: And so so now that this is out there, you know,

439
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: there's an example. You know, there's this idea of the

440
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: dark web, right, so can you explain what that means exactly?

441
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: And also, like, once your information's out there in the

442
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: dark web, it's kind of tough to like get it

443
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: out of there, isn't it.

444
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it's actually impossible. So when something you know,

445
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 6: the word dark web can mean many things. In the

446
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 6: technical realm, it means you're connecting to a network called

447
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 6: tour t R. The dark web, in most people's eyes

448
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 6: is just like the scary, dark, black black market of

449
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 6: the Internet. But really, in regards to this, it just

450
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 6: means the database is released two hackers, good or bad,

451
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 6: or for people that just commit fraud, maybe they're not hackers.

452
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 6: They can download these this database, they can search through it.

453
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 6: They they'll be able to see your entire social Security number,

454
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 6: along with every address that you've lived at, maybe your

455
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 6: current phone number, maybe an old one, and then the

456
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 6: rest of your family. And that's that's basically enough information

457
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 6: to open up a credit card, run a credit report,

458
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 6: buy a car, are maybe you know, do whatever they

459
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 6: want to do with your information, and that data is

460
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 6: gonna is going to circulate on the dark web, as

461
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 6: you asked forever, that's never going to go away as

462
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 6: well as you know. You know, we can remove your

463
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 6: data from data brokers and we can alert you of this,

464
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 6: but we cannot remove your data off of individual people's

465
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 6: computers when they download the data for themselves. So my

466
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 6: recommendation is really what you said as well, is is

467
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 6: to just freeze your credit. Whether you're in this database

468
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 6: or not, freeze it. It doesn't hurt it in any way,

469
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 6: it doesn't benefit it doesn't benefit me in any way

470
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 6: to tell you to do it. It's it's and another good

471
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 6: thing that people I got a lot of questions about this.

472
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 6: By freezing your credit, it doesn't stop your score from

473
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 6: going up or down. It doesn't. It doesn't affect your

474
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 6: credit in any negative way. The only inconveniences if you

475
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 6: if you go to you know, upgrade the limit on

476
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 6: your credit card, or buy a car, all the things

477
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 6: I mentioned. You just sign into all the three bureaus

478
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 6: individually on your phone, or if you don't know how

479
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 6: to do that, you can call into all three and

480
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 6: unfreeze it. It's a click of a button on their

481
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 6: website or a phone call way for each one of them,

482
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 6: and you freeze it or unfreeze it, and as soon

483
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 6: as you're done doing what you're doing with your credit,

484
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 6: just freeze it again. And and you know with with

485
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 6: you know almost certainty that you're not going to be

486
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 6: affected by this breach.

487
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: Wow, So what do you make of all this? You know,

488
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: this information that's floating around out there. You've got average

489
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: people who are working, they're busy, they've got kids, family,

490
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, other things they're dealing with, and there's this

491
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: whole world of just like we're always inundated with like

492
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: scams and texts and links and phishing.

493
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: I mean, your job's never going away.

494
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 6: No, I mean it's a it's good and bad at

495
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 6: the same time. It's a it's a it's very unfortunate

496
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 6: that that, you know, almost our entire country was breached

497
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 6: in the last few days. Yeah, my uh, my job,

498
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 6: Tensester dot com is not going anywhere, you know, it's

499
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 6: it's a blessing and a curse. To be honest with you, Rich.

500
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: And how do you think the average person if you

501
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: can give them some advice, what would it be.

502
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: In the last minute here.

503
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 6: My advice would be to to you know, this is

504
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 6: this is not me trying to sell my platform. I

505
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 6: just as Rich said, he saw other data broke removal

506
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 6: platforms and what they do is great. The thing that

507
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 6: they don't do is show you your entire digital footprint,

508
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 6: which is something that you should all know. You should

509
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 6: know if you're in a wedding photo from ten years ago,

510
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 6: when you search your face, you know, maybe maybe you

511
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 6: want to do reverse facial recognition on yourself, or you know,

512
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 6: maybe you want to see what passwords were associated with

513
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 6: every email you've ever had, or maybe you forgot about

514
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 6: an email that you had back in the AOL days

515
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 6: and that has a password or some private information associated

516
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 6: with you. And then lastly, uh, you know, do the

517
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 6: social accounts so we identify based on your phone number

518
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 6: and email addresses which accounts you're signed up for, so

519
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 6: you know, for yourself, it's nice to know out what's

520
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 6: out there, and the way to get rid of that

521
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 6: is just to lead that account if you don't want it.

522
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 6: And then another thing for your children, if you you know,

523
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 6: if you don't want your children on certain websites or

524
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 6: you want to know what sites they're on, you can

525
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 6: add them as an identity and you could do this

526
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 6: securely through our website and and then we'll be able

527
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 6: to tell you with absolute certainty which websites that they

528
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 6: are they're registered to, which is a very unique offering

529
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 6: that no one else has either.

530
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: Wow, and a couple other things, real quick virus protection

531
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: on your computer. Do you recommend that or do you

532
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: think Windows Defender is good enough? And also VPN When

533
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: should someone use that?

534
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 6: Okay, so Windows Defenders has gotten better over the years,

535
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 6: I'd recommend some other ones. I like Bitdefender. I also

536
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 6: like e set, e S, e T. I like them

537
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 6: as well. Bitdefender has a free version. I'm not sure

538
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 6: if e set does, but I know for sure bitdefender does.

539
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 6: And then the other question was what did you say VPN.

540
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: Do you think people should use a VPN?

541
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 6: Ever, Yeah, well, VPN can hurt so if you're in

542
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 6: a public place. And I've made many videos about Wi

543
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 6: Fi hacking and networks vulnerabilities just in general, and I

544
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 6: like to simplify my contest so people understand it. But

545
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 6: something interesting about a VPN is it stops a lot

546
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 6: of these attacks that the average hacker could do on

547
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 6: your network. Not only does it protect your privacy on

548
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 6: the other side of things when you connect to a website,

549
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 6: but on your local network where if you're on a

550
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 6: public network I got Starbucks or at the airport, it

551
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 6: protects you from those attacks as well. So I'd highly

552
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 6: recommend a VPN. There's there's gonna be people out there

553
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 6: that care about if a VPN logs what you do

554
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 6: or they don't log what you do. All of them,

555
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 6: for the most part, they're gonna claim they don't log it.

556
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 6: I know that IVPN doesn't log mole because that was

557
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 6: proven in the Supreme Court. That's one I know for sure.

558
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 6: Of the second one, Mullavad you can mail them cash

559
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 6: and with an account number and they'll activate it. So

560
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 6: even if they do store logs, which I don't think

561
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 6: they do, but let's say they do. They don't even

562
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 6: know who you are. Wow, So you know it's nice

563
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 6: to have. It's it's it's to be extra safe.

564
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: Got it?

565
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 1: All right, Ryan Montgomery, We're gonna leave it there, founder

566

Speaker 1: dotpentester dot com.

568
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: And Ryan, what's the best way for folks to follow

569
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: you online?

570
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 6: The best way to follow me if you want to

571
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 6: learn more than obviously the MPD breach right now is

572
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 6: something that definitely, you know, act on, but if you

573
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 6: want to follow and learn some more stuff about, you know,

574
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 6: get cars being hacked, your garage door being hacked, how

575
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 6: people can steal your credit card, hack your phone. I mean,

576
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 6: I make short videos thirty sixty seconds long on all platforms,

577
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,479
Speaker 6: but right now, the most active is my Instagram and

578
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 6: that's at zero, like the digit zero day, like day

579
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 6: night is zero day. So Instagram is the best ways

580
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 6: the place to find me at the moment, at the moment.

581

Speaker 1: to see if you've been breached, but also some of

596
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: the security programs that he recommended for free free anti virus,

Speaker 1: on with rich.

606
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 8: Hey, rich thanks for taking my call.

607
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, how can I help.

608
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 8: I jumped on.

609
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: Jumped in the truck right at the top of the show.

610
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 9: And you were mentioning something about AI tools embedded in

611
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 9: your phones that transcribe your phone calls. And given the context,

612
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 9: I missed what the name of it was, but given

613
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 9: the context, it sounded like a Google service. Our company

614
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 9: uses Apple products. Is there a service similar to that

615
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 9: that we can implement for our program managers and stuff

616
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 9: to utilize these tools? And then I have another question

617
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 9: when you when you answer that one great question.

618
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: So yes, the feature that I mentioned is coming to

619
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: the Pixel. It's called call notes and basically, when you're

620
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: in a call, you can tap and it will record

621
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: the phone call. Yes, there's privacy concerns, but the according

622
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: to the Google folks I spoke to, it says a recording.

623
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: It says, hey, this call is being recorded by Google.

624
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: You know, you can hang up if you don't want

625
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: to be a part of that whatever. So that's happening

626
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: with with the Pixel side of things. And basically when

627
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: you hang up, it will give you the transcript of

628
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: your phone call and it will summarize that transcript as well.

629
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: So if someone set a phone number or an account number,

630
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, notes that you have in that call.

631
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: It'll summarize that, which is very handy. You said you

632
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: use the iPhone side of things. Apple's also coming out

633
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: with this as well. So iOS eighteen will have a

634
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: feature that I don't know if they've given it a name,

635
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: a proper name, but it's basically a call recording, same

636
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: exact feature, it's the same exact thing. So it's built

637
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: into the iPhone. When you download iOS eighteen and you

638
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: get this Apple Intelligence, it will let you record the

639
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: phone call and it will summarize the call and give

640
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: you a transcript afterwards. So that is the main thing

641
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: to know here is that it has to be on

642
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: compatible devices.

643
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: So the question is it's okay.

644
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: It looks like it's going to be available on any

645
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: device that works with iOS eighteen. Do't need an iPhone

646
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: fifteen proto unlock it, so only the transcript summary uses AI.

647
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a good, good thing for your for your company.

648
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's gonna come out. That's going to come

649
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: out in September, So basically, come September, you know we've

650
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: got this. I've got the new pixel here. I didn't

651
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: see that feature just yet on the pixel that they

652
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: provided me as my review unit. But I assume maybe

653
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: it's just it's coming out any day now on there,

654
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: but then on Apple it'll be usually September where this

655
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: stuff is coming.

656
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 9: Out awesome, So we don't have to wait much longer.

657
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: Not much longer. I'm telling you.

658
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: In the future, every phone, everything's going to be recorded,

659
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: not just phone calls. There's like there are pendants that

660
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: people are going to be able to wear that will

661
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: record all the time, so that you can transcribe your world,

662
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: like your life and just remember notes. I mean, it's

663
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: it's quite incredible. I know it's scary, it sounds weird,

664
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: but you know, there are some business use cases for

665
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: this stuff, like you mentioned. You know, even if you

666
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: go to the doctor, you know, they always tell you

667
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: all this stuff at the end of your appointment and

668
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: you don't remember any of it, you know, and then

669
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: they give you this.

670
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: You know, they don't give you notes. What was the

671
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: second question?

672
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 9: So the second part of my question is our company

673
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 9: we process ap uh daily and we are just getting

674
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 9: absolutely buried in invoices and packing slips and whatever other

675
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 9: nonsense you can you can picture. For a large construction company,

676
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 9: of the paperwork flow. Is there a program that you

677
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 9: like the best or that you recommend the best that

678
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 9: AI can help us optimize this this constant barrage of paperwork,

679
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 9: whether that be.

680
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 6: An email inbox that.

681
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 9: Is dedicated to an AI reader, AI process, or how

682
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 9: how can we optimize this better? Because we're getting our

683
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 9: our rear ends sticked uh with this just constant barrage

684
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 9: of paperwork fairly large company, so it needs to be

685
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 9: a pretty uh you know.

686
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 6: Heavy duty solution.

687
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that so that's the thing.

688
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, so a lot of people have been using

689
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, the kind of consumer aspect of chatchybt Claude

690
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: Gemini for their you know, very consumer oriented things, and

691
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: of course anyone who works at a company, you know,

692
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: maybe kind of dabbling with these tools to kind of

693
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: figure out how they can use them in their in

694
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: their workflow, you know, writing emails better, all that kind

695
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: of stuff. When it comes to a large corporation, you've

696
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: got to have a uh an enterprise solution for that,

697
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: because number one, you've got data security. You cannot just

698
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: be putting in your private uh you know, accounts payable

699
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: information into some random uh AI.

700
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: So you're going to have to go. I'm guessing the big.

701
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: Providers that you're already using for some of these workflows

702
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: are probably working on AI integrations. I think right now

703
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: it's a little tricky because it's all about the privacy,

704
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: and so you need to know that the stuff that

705
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: you're using is not going to be feeding your information

706
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: out into the larger web or into the database of

707
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: these AI companies. So I know, you know, you got

708
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: to look at the enterprise stuff from Microsoft, Salesforce, all

709
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: those kind of big companies that are working on the

710
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: enterprise side of things. I don't have a company or

711
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: a solution that I like personally because I'm not really

712
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: dealing with the corporate side of things. Mostly I'm doing

713
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: the consumer side. But that's kind of where I would

714
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: look is the companies that you're already dealing with, see,

715
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, see what they're looking at when it comes

716
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 1: to AI. Maybe they already have the solutions, maybe they don't,

717
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: or it might be that you have to go with

718
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: one of these startups. But again, a lot of them

719
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: on the back end are using something like the chat

720
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: GBT or the the open AI APIs great questions today, Eric,

721
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: thanks for the calls. Eight eight eight rich one oh

722

00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: You're listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome back to another

726
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: hour of Rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out

727
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: with you, talking technology, having a lot of fun, giving

728
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: out good information that's usable. Yes, people are always surprised

729
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: when they listen to this show because they're like, wait

730
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: a second, I'm learning a lot. I know it's a

731
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: foreign concept sometimes in today's day and age of clickable

732
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: click baity headlines and quick takes and hot takes and

733
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: Instagram and TikTok. No, this is the real deal. This

734
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: is where I actually tell you the stuff that I

735
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 1: think you should know. Because I am covering this stuff

736
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, I'm keeping track of it, I'm

737
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: organizing it. I'm making sure the stuff that I think

738
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: you should know is on this show. That's why I

739
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: say it at the beginning of every show. It's not

740
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: just random stuff to get you to listen, or random

741
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: stuff to you know, get you mad or angry. It

742
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: is stuff that I think you need to know as

743
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: a person that's busy, someone that's working, someone that has

744
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: things to do. That's why you listen to me so

Speaker 1: phone number eight eight eight Rich one oh one eight

749
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

750
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: This show a lot of it does focus on Google

751
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: because Google just had their event this week, and so

752
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm still going through some of the different products that

753
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: they announced.

754
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you about two.

755
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: More of those, and then later on in this hour,

756
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: we do have some interviews with the Google folks to

757
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: go more in depth on those. Sophie wrote in on

758
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: the website, Hey, Rich, I'm listening today. You mentioned it

759
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: so fast I cannot get the name of the app.

760
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: I take a lot of screenshots. It's an app to

761
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: help categorize them and pull them up. It's Google something. Also,

762
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: I have an iPhone fourteen. Is it just for Android

763
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: or no, thanks Sophie. Sophie, it is called the Pixel

764
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: screen Shots app, and yes, it's built into the new

765
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: Pixel smartphones. No word yet whether this is going to

766
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: come to other Android phones, but It's a really smart app. Basically,

767
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: every time you take a screenshot on your phone, it

768
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: indexes the information and that screenshot to make it searchable.

769
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: You can also categorize them. So let's say you're taking

770
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: screenshots of gifts or gift ideas or places you want

771
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: to go on your vacation. You can put them into

772
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: categories as well. It's using a lot of AI plus

773
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: you can tap the screenshot to go back to the

774
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: original website, which is smart as well. I have a

775
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: feeling someone is going to make something like this for

776
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: the iPhone. It's not unheard of to make an app

777
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 1: like this for the iPhone pretty easy and pretty quickly.

778
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean it should be Google because they already have

779
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: the technology. The problem is these companies like to have

780
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: stuff exclusively for their products. We're seeing a tech world

781
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: where more and more it's getting highly competitive, and so

782
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: these every company pretty much kind of holds back a

783
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: little bit where they have these things start on their

784
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: products specifically or a specific model of a tech product

785
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: that's new, and then eventually later on it will come

786
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: to other products. Case in point, Google Circle to Search.

787
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: This is something that launched on the Samsung S twenty

788
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 1: four lineup of smartphones. It's a very cool way to search,

789
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: where you press and hold on the home button and

790
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: then you can tap or circle or highlight anything on

791
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: your screen to search Google. And this was a collaboration

792
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: between Samsung and Google to come up with a killer

793
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: new feature that would sell a lot of smartphones. And

794
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's sold a lot of smartphones,

795
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: but it's really helpful. In fact, when I am not

796
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: using an Android phone, I feel lost on the iPhone

797
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: because you just can't tap the screen to like search something.

798
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: Let's say you're scrolling through Instagram and you see something cool,

799
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: You're like, I want more information about that restaurant or

800
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: those you know, that gadget or whatever you see. You

801
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: could just literally circle to search and it will give

802
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: you all the information. It's really really helpful, and that

803
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: has made its way to more phones.

804
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: It's on a lot of the.

805
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: Pixel smartphones, and now it's coming to the Samsung budget

806
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: line smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy A series, So this is

807
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: going to be available on the Galaxy A fifty five,

808
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: the A four, the A thirty five, and the A

809
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: thirty four. So if you don't have a Samsung Galaxy

810
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: S series or Z series. The A series is sort

811
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: of the budget line. You're getting Circle to Search, which

812
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: is a really helpful feature, especially for homework. Recent things

813
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: that they added a full page translation homework help QR

814
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: barcode scanning. It's a really handy feature if you want

815
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: to see if your phone has it. If you have

816
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: an Android phone, at the bottom of your screen, just

817
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: press and hold right at the bottom, like almost where

818
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: this screen meets the end of your phone. Just press

819
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: and hold right there and your phone should vibrate and

820
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of light up the screen. And so you do that,

821
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: and then just scribble or circle on your screen and

822
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: you can see if your Circle to Search is on there.

823
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: It's a really really handy feature. I absolutely love it.

824
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: It's something that I don't think can come to the iPhone.

825
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: The closest you've got in the iPhone is a screenshot

826
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: with Google Lens, which is very similar, but it's a

827
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: lot easier of a movement on the on the Android

828
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: side of things. All right, A couple more products quickly

829
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: here from Google pixel Watch three. This is bigger, brighter,

830
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: and all about fitness. Two sizes now they added a

831
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: larger size. It comes in the forty one millimeter and

832
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: a new forty five millimeter option, much bigger screen. I

833
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: think it is a much better looking smart watch because

834
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: the screen is actually usable brighter displays. You get forty

835
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: percent more screen on that forty five millimeter display. They

836
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: even made the smaller one have a little bit more display,

837
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: ten percent more, so they pushed it out to the

838
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 1: edges a little bit more. They've got some new fitness features.

839
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: Everyone's doing this kind of like daily readiness score, and

840
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: so now the pixel watch is doing that as well.

841
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: They've got this really interesting new feature called loss of

842
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: pulse detection. So a couple weeks ago on this show,

843
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: we were talking about how these wearables can detect a

844
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: high pulse rate or a low pulse rate. Now this

845
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: is detecting no pulse rate whatsoever. That's something you don't

846
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: ever want to have, obviously, but now this watch will

847
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: detect that. Now, this is only approved in Europe at

848
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: the start, so we're not getting this feature in the

849
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: US at least not right now, but I imagine they're trying

850
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: to get the proper approving with the FDA. To get

851
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: that or whoever they have to go through the government

852
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: agency here in the US to get that loss of

853
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: pulse detection, because basically, if it detects no pulse, it

854
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: will call for help and text your emergency contacts. There's

855
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: also a new ultra wideband chip in this pixel Watch three,

856
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: which means you can use your phone to unlock digital

857
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 1: car key functionality, which is neat and pricing three hundred

858
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars for the forty one millimeter and four

859
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for the forty five millimeter that does not

860
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: include cellular. Cellular is going to be a little bit

861
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,959
Speaker 1: more expensive. Release date is September tenth, twenty twenty four.

862
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: Then you've got some new pixel buds pixel Buds Pro two.

863
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: These are all about AI. They've got GEM, which is

864
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: Google's AI assistant built in. I did take a demo

865
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: of these up at Google's headquarters and they actually were

866
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 1: very comfortable my ears, very lightweight. Google says they're twenty

867
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: four percent lighter twenty seven percent smaller than the previous

868
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: pixel Buds Pro, which I did not like. They did

869
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: not stay in my ears very well. These stayed in

870
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: my ears much better. They felt much more comfortable and

871
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: much smaller than the old ones. They also have a

872
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: new custom chip inside, so that's gonna be good for

873
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: improved audio, and of course the AI. The noise cancelation

874
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,479
Speaker 1: was excellent. They put me in a booth. They played

875
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of noises, really loud noises, like being

876
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: on an airplane, being on a city street, and then

877
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: they turn on the automatic noise cancelation active noise cancelation,

878
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: and all the noises just blended away. So they made

879
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 1: me listen to that. Oh what's that song right now?

880
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: That hot song right now? Sabrina Carpenter, Espresso. What's the

881
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: other one?

882
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: Oh? Please, please please? I don't know. They made me.

883
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: I think that was Espress. They may be listened to

884
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: by Sabrina Carpenter. That's like all over the radio right now.

885
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: They also have this new twist to fit feature, so

886
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: you kind of push it into your ear and then

887
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: you twist it and then that makes it fit securely.

888
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: These start at two hundred and twenty nine dollars. I

889
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: think that's kind of expensive because there's so many great

890
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 1: earbuds out there for a lot cheaper. The good news

891
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: is stuff from Google typically gets discounted, So would I

892
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: would earmark these? No pun intended maybe about a two

893
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: hundred dollars price tag, but that's still kind of expensive.

894
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: I know it's in line with like the air Pods,

895
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: but the AirPods Pro. But I think there's in maybe

896
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: I guess the Samsung, but I feel like there's some

897
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: other earbuds that you can get for cheaper that are

898
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: just as good. But again, these work with all the

899
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: Google stuff. These are going to be available on September

900
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 1: twenty six. Once again, that's the pixel Buds Pro two.

901
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: All right, eighty eight Rich one O one eight eight

902
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four to one zero one.

903
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: The website for the show is rich on tech dot TV.

904
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to uh max in uh Lake Worth, Florida.

905

Speaker 7: Your program A lot. I know that, sudd you. We're

909
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 7: discussing the security breach and credit freed.

910
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 2: Yes.

911
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 7: So there are three create reporting agencies and as you described,

Speaker 7: people can go and read their credit there's the fourth

913
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,359

Speaker 7: Edward x as x Ray Systems check systems essentially walks

916
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 7: with banks. But when someone wants to open a checking

00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 7: account or setting account, the bank's checks their credit through

918
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 7: that system. You also have to go there the website,

919
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 7: the checksystems dot com and uh, go to the post.

920
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: Of putting free Oh yeah, I see it on.

921
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 10: The records on that system as well.

922
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 2: Oh good tip, thanks Max.

923
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at the website checksystems dot com and

924
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: uh at the bottom of the website there is a

925
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: link to place a freeze. And so you're saying, this

926
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: is this is Oh yeah, okay here it is designed

927
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: to prevent approval of checking savings, credit accounts, loans or

928
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: other services being approved in your name without your consent.

929
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

930
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a good one. Good to know about that.

931
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: Have you done this yourself? Is it easy?

932
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 4: Yes?

933
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 11: I've uh yeah, actually have full gone by the record

934
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 11: accounts of records many many moons ago because I realized

935
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 11: that you cannot thrust anything or anybody the day.

936
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even trust you, Max, but I like,

937
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: I like what you're talking.

938
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 7: But I may be a box here.

939
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do I know I'm not talking to How

940
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: do I know I'm not talking to AI?

941
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 7: And the senior side. Rich you have to be what

942
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 7: I call these days, you have to be an intelligent paranoid.

943
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 2: Yes, I ask you.

944
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 11: If you are not an intelligent paranoid, then everybody can

945
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 11: take advantage of you.

946
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: Max I one hundred percent agree. Thanks so much for

947
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: the call. I am so critical of everything. Even when

948
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: my mom calls me, I ask her some verification questions.

949
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, what's your mother's maiden name? Mom?

950
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: Just to make sure we could be tricked very easily.

00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: on there. Rich on tech dot TV. Let's go to

964
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: Mark in Woodland Hill's Mark.

965
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 2: Ri Hi him.

966
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 12: I'm a very high miles annually on cycling, so I'm

967
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 12: out there quite often for hours at a time cycling,

968
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 12: and I run an app that gives me in real

969
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 12: time speed odometers, things of that nature that I can

970
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 12: tap into. My problem is, with course, here in southern California,

971
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 12: particularly this season, I need a phone that is heat resistant.

972
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 12: What I find is a lot of my phones are

973
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 12: just shutting down from the direct lights, you know, the

974
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 12: direct sunlight, and I hate to have to, you know,

975
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 12: I want to be able to look at the display.

976
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 4: Do you have any.

977
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 12: Suggestions for heat tolerant smartphones by any chance?

978
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 2: Good question.

979
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: This happens all the time, especially in southern California. And

980
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: you're running GPS on your phone, so that's definitely contributing

981
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: to the heat. Are you using an iPhone or an Android? Currently?

982
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 12: Android?

983
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 2: Okay? Android? And which model?

984
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 12: I'm not really a a cell phone cultured person, but.

985
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: I guess it's a maybe like a Samsung or a

986
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: pixel Samsung.

987
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 12: Okay, yeah, it's a Samsung.

988
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 2: Well it's okay. So a couple of things.

989
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: First off, the the older phones don't have as much

990
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: older and less expensive phones don't have as much cooling

991
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: built into them, so that could be number one. But

992
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: in general, I find that when you are out and

993
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: about and your phone is in direct sun, no matter

994
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 1: what brand I've used, they all overheat, and so it's

995
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: gonna be tough if you're if you're trying to look

996
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,439
Speaker 1: at your screen on your bike at the same time

997
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: that you're using it at the same time it is

998
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: directly in the sun. So that is, uh, that's going

999
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: to be a problem no matter what phone you have.

1000
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: But I think you know what I was going to

1001
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: recommend in general, there's actually kind of a cool case

1002
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: for a phone called the Fouzi phoo z Y. And

1003
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: I was not a believer, and I was at I think,

1004
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if I got this at CS or somewhere.

1005
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: I got a sample of this thing, and I was like,

1006
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: come on, there's no way this thing works. And it's

1007
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: just it's like a thermal bag for your phone, and

1008
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: so you pop your phone in it and if you're

1009
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: bringing it to the uh you know, whether you're skiing

1010
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: or if it's cold outside, or whether you're bringing it

1011
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: to the beach and it's hot outside, you keep your

1012
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 1: phone in this little pouch. And sure enough, it keeps it,

1013
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: It keeps it cool, it keeps it from overheating or

1014
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: over freezing. That's phoo z Y, And so I'm looking

1015
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: to see h Mark if they have a version that,

1016
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: you know you might be able to put your phone

1017
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: in while you're on your bike. You know, that might

1018
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: be your best bet. The problem with this is that

1019
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to see the screen when

1020
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: it's in here.

1021
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 2: But let's see.

1022
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm looking at they've got a cycle collection, so

1023
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: let's see maybe they have one that's uh, it's like

1024
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: a bike specific one that would work, but they do

1025
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: mention biking. Yeah, the cycle series. So I'm looking to

1026
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: see maybe if they have like a clear one. But no,

1027
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't see a clear one. But anyway, that is

1028
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: probably my best bet if you want to just keep

1029
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: your phone not from overheating is to use something like this,

1030
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: and you're just gonna you may not be able to

1031
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: keep your phone where you can see the screen, but

1032
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: at least it's not gonna overheat, and the times that

1033
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: you do pull it out to see your screen, it

1034
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: will still work. So phoo z Y is the uh

1035
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: is the device. It's just a pouch. Basically, let me

1036
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: see how much these things cost. Usually it's about let's

1037
00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: see here, thirty, about thirty anywhere from thirty toady to

1038
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: forty dollars. They've got a NASA one. That one's pretty cool.

1039
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: Now I'm telling you this thing works. I mean it really,

1040
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: it really does work. I'm very impressed with this thing.

1041
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: So that's the website to go to. Thanks for the

1042
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: call today, Mark, appreciate you. Let's see, since you mentioned biking, Google,

1043
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: Fippit and Peloton are teaming up. So if you're a

1044
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: paid Fitbit premium user. This is a paid user, not

1045
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: just if you have a Fitbit, you have to be

1046
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: paying for their subscription. You'll be able to access some

1047
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: Peloton classes starting in September. You're going to get to

1048
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 1: access strength pilates, running, boxing, and oh some classes will

1049
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: be available to non premium Fitbit users, but I'm guessing

1050
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: it's a smaller percentage. And then Peloton members they're going

1051
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: to cross sell, so they're going to give you special

1052
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: offers on the Pixel Watch and Fitbit Charge six. This

1053
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: is all coming in September.

1054
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:53,959

1061
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: talk to some of the Google folks about some of

1062
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: the products they announced this week.

1063
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 2: This is rich on Tech.

1064
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

1065
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,520

1066
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two,

1067
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 1: four to one zero one. Give me a call if

1068
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: you have a tech question. We'll get back to the

1069
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: lines in just a moment. But first we're taking a

1070
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: deeper dive into Google's latest announcements this week. I was

1071
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: up in Mountain View at their beautiful Bayview headquarters, and

1072
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: I got to talk to some of the key folks

1073
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: helping to make their products from smartphones to smart watches

1074
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 1: and smart home devices. First up, Shanaz Zach, senior director

1075
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: of Product management for Pixel First. Zach explained how AI

1076
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: is changing the game for pixel users.

1077
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 13: It's a phone that is with you almost the whole

1078
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 13: day and the evening and the night. So I me

1079
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 13: think about Pixel as a phone and a device that

1080
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 13: is your personal device. We think of the whole staff,

1081
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 13: the hardware, the software, and the silicon, and then we

1082
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 13: think about, Okay, what are the problems the Pixel is

1083
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 13: going to help you solve to lead a happier, more fruitful,

1084
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 13: more productive life. Right now, that's how we think about it,

1085
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 13: think of how do we help people with their problems

1086
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 13: and making their lives more fruitful? And in termline too,

1087
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 13: AI and the technology, what is it enabling further enabling?

1088
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 13: Right and you saw that today when Sali Demo did

1089
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 13: with the ear buds. Right now, Gemini Live is in

1090
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 13: my ear bus try to my phone, so if I

1091
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 13: go on a walk, I can just talk to Gemini Live.

1092
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 13: Like I've been literally having these conversations because I have

1093
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 13: a dog. My kids want me to get another dog,

1094
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 13: and so I'm like, okay, which dog should I get?

1095
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 13: If I get a dog? My dog is eight? Like

1096
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 13: should I get a puppy?

1097
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 6: Should I get?

1098
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 13: I'm literally having these conversations with Gemini Live on my walk.

1099
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 13: It's really answering me these questions rather than I'm doing

1100
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 13: a search and then I get distracted with something else,

1101
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 13: I'm like, I'm on my walk and it's given me

1102
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 13: good examples, whether it's a small dog a big dog.

1103
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 13: So again, again I can think of like not so

1104
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 13: much the how do we really help our users? How

1105
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 13: does a phone make your lives better?

1106
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: Next, I asked about some of the standout new features

1107
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: in the latest Pixel models.

1108
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 13: I have a lot of favorite features, but I would

1109
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 13: say a couple that stand out for me is adme.

1110
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 13: Call notes is another one which is amazing. Again, like

1111
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 13: it's solving the problem of here's the number somebody. Especially

1112
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 13: when I'm driving and somebody gives me a number on

1113
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 13: the phone, I'm like, oh my god, I don't have

1114
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 13: a pen and paper. Can I call you back? Or

1115
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 13: then I have to like park, take bring out my phone,

1116
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 13: type the number, and the keep notes app. Now I

1117
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 13: don't have to do that. I can just turn on

1118
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 13: call notes. It takes the transcript, it summarizes that and

1119
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 13: just puts the phone number right there, or a confirmation

1120
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 13: number or any of those numbers right. So I think

1121
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 13: that's another one that I really use.

1122
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: In title helpful private see is always a concern, especially

1123
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: with phone calls. I was curious how the new call

1124
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: notes feature protects user data.

1125
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 13: When you enable call notes, it will read out a

1126
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 13: promt that this call is being recorded and is using

1127
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 13: for call you. So if we do that prompt to

1128
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 13: both the parties so that you know that the call

1129
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 13: is being recorded. And that's how it works, and it's

1130
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 13: completely on device private using chemin I Nano.

1131
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: It can be a very iPhone centric world. So I

1132
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: want you to know Zach's reasons why someone should consider

1133
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: a switch to the pixels.

1134
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 13: So many reasons, so many reasons. And I will say,

1135
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 13: I know a lot of people is you said ecosystem,

1136
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 13: but it's also inertia right because it's moving to a

1137
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 13: different device and you have all of this data and

1138
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 13: that's a lot of time you're spending also as well

1139
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 13: as like making sure users can easily transfer and move

1140
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,959
Speaker 13: all their data, a lot of which we did not mention.

1141
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 13: A lot of focus, a big portion of the team

1142
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 13: things through that because you want to make sure that

1143
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 13: you seamlessly Mower to Pixel can use do everything that

1144
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 13: you've done in the past.

1145
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 6: And better right.

1146
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: Next up San deep Riot, Senior director of product management

1147
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: for Pixel Wearables. He's been on this show before and

1148
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: this time I asked him, what's new with the pixel

1149
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: Watch three.

1150
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 14: There's no one size fits all here, and these two

1151
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 14: sizes really give you that expression. We see people then

1152
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 14: looking for more in their watch, so when they're out

1153
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 14: and about, they want to add a glancy, more information.

1154
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 14: So we are bringing more information utilizing that larger screen.

1155
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 14: And they're also looking for more battery life from the watch,

1156
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 14: and again larger size can give that. So that has

1157
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 14: been the number one request in pixel Watch one and two,

1158
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 14: and finally we are bringing the second size with three.

1159
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 14: The feedback we get is that people really love pixel

1160
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 14: Watch for sleep tracking, for their workout tracking, for general

1161
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 14: during the day activity tracking, and on top of that,

1162
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 14: what they're really seeking is that now it's on the wrist,

1163
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 14: now that I like it, give me more help Like

1164
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 14: Google brings some extensions, bring the helpfulness, and that's what

1165
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 14: our goal has been.

1166
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: From what I'm hearing, it seems that Google is all

1167
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: about adding helpful features, and there are some notable ones

1168
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: on the pixel Watch three. Some will likely make their

1169
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: way to previous models.

1170
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 14: So from helpfulness standpoint, we are really bringing even more

1171
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 14: helpful extensions off Google and pixel So there are so

1172
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 14: many examples of that recorder app, so on the go,

1173
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 14: if you want to just take a quick memory, you

1174
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 14: can now do that. You can now live stream your

1175
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 14: Nest doorbell and camera. So for example, somebody's at the door,

1176
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 14: you're cooking dinner. You can now live stream that camera

1177
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 14: right on your wrist and do a two way conversation

1178
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 14: as well. You can say drop the package right from

1179
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 14: your wrist, you don't have to lay it. And then

1180
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 14: in terms of bringing even more helpful extensions, you can

1181
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 14: now unlock your pixel phone but just your watch. And

1182
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 14: then there are other smaller aspects of that extension, things

1183
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 14: like now you can They are smaller, but they're big

1184
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 14: features like coll assists, for example, so you can screen

1185
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 14: calls on wrist, but then also put the call on

1186
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 14: hold and call assists will do it for you to

1187
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 14: buy you that minute. So you can now go grab

1188
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 14: your phone or find a quiet place to talk.

1189
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: Now our watches can all call for help if you

1190
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: take a fall, or notify you.

1191
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 2: About a lower high heart rate.

1192
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: Now there's a new safety feature Google's adding that detects

1193
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: loss of pulse.

1194
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 14: The research scientist at Google really had this ambitious thing

1195
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,479
Speaker 14: onlike can we detect loss of pulse, and that loss

1196
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 14: of pulse is that kind of ambitious thing where it

1197
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 14: really can help you in critical moments of your life.

1198
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 14: And how it works is that it's detecting that the

1199
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 14: pulse on your wrist along with purposeful motion using the

1200
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 14: sensor of fusion, which is taking motion data and heart

1201
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 14: rate data, combining that to see if there's any loss

1202
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 14: of pulse, and then contacting both your emergency contact and

1203
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 14: emergency services to get your quick help.

1204
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: Keep in mind that feature is only going to be

1205
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: available in Europe at least for now. All right, now,

1206
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: from our wrists to the living room. Rishi Chandra heads

1207
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: up Health and Home at Google. First I asked about

1208
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: Google's decision to kill Chrome cast in favor of a

1209
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: new set top box.

1210
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 15: So yeah, we launched Chrome casts in twenty thirteen and

1211
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 15: it changed TV in particular. Most TVs didn't have streaming

1212
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 15: apps at that time. It made it super simple to

1213
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 15: plug in something and you get apps as quickly as possible.

1214
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 15: What we've now found is almost every TV in the

1215
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 15: world has apps already built into it. So what we

1216
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 15: feel like is the next stage of where TV is

1217
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 15: going to go is how do you think about a

1218
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 15: really premium TV experience.

1219
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 2: Combined with the smart home experiences.

1220
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 15: So for example, today, like my monthly bill for streaming

1221
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 15: is actually pretty snificent between Netflix, YouTube, Premium Hulu, Apple TV,

1222
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 15: what have you. But we have these really cheap dongles

1223
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 15: powering my premium TV experience. Well, now we want to

1224
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 15: build a device that's actually optimized for premium TV, so

1225
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 15: you get the best YouTube TV experience, you get the

1226
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 15: best Netflix experience, and we want to bridge smart home

1227
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 15: as part of it, so I should be able to

1228
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 15: see directly from my TV who's at the front door,

1229
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 15: turn off the lights, automatically change my heating settings. So

1230
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 15: we're combining those two things in this new box torm factor,

1231
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 15: which is called Google TV Streamer. A box will always

1232
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 15: be leading edge inter technology. So your TV, you want

1233
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 15: to buy that for five to ten years, so it'll

1234
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 15: give you access to apps. But if you want the latest,

1235
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 15: for example, smart home technology like matter and Thread, you're

1236
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 15: going to need a device, a separate device today until

1237
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 15: that gets embedded in TV. So we always see the

1238
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 15: box is going to be a little bit head of

1239
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 15: the curve of the latest technology, the fastest processor, the

1240
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 15: most capable AI, so that's the role of the box

1241
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 15: is that you can upgrade a little bit faster than

1242
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 15: your television. Where you know, you buy a four K TV,

1243
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 15: I want it to last, you know, five to ten

1244
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 15: years potentially, whereas a box you might want upgrade every

1245
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 15: two three years.

1246
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 2: And that's how we think about it.

1247
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: Chandra has been at Google for quite some time. I

1248
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: wanted to know his thoughts on how AI is shaping

1249
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: the future of home and health products.

1250
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 15: I would say it's an incredibly exciting time because AI

1251
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 15: has this huge potential to change how we think about

1252
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 15: technology products. I helped launch the original Croncast, I help

1253
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 15: launch the original Google Home products.

1254
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 4: With the Google Assistant.

1255
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 15: And the fact that we can actually now apply this

1256
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 15: new technology like LMS and really think see a step

1257
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 15: function change in capability. It's super excit in my mind

1258
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 15: of where we can take health, or we can take home,

1259
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 15: or you can take personal assistance. All of that is

1260
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 15: going to change over the next two years. So I

1261
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 15: think it's really exciting time to be in technology in general.

1262
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: There you have it all the updates from Google's latest event,

1263
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: and although Google has been working on AI for quite

1264
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: some time, it seems we're finally at a turning point

1265
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: where it can actually benefit products and make our lives easier.

1266
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Of course, nothing comes without downsides, AI included. All right,

1267

Speaker 10: Hi, thank you for call.

1286
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 8: Let's go with the customer. My question is I have

1287
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 8: an ex girlfriend who is tracking me. She knows where

1288
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 8: I'm going. I think she can read my text messages.

1289
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 8: So I don't know if I need to get a

1290
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 8: track software on my phone or if there's something I

1291
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 8: can buy to see if there's something on the bottom

1292
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 8: of my car. But it's getting kind of scary, so

1293
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 8: I need your help.

1294
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, how do you think she's tracking you?

1295
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 8: Well, she knows. She's mentioned in the conversations where I

1296
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 8: was at like physically with out like oh you were here,

1297
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 8: you were there, And I don't think she's following me.

1298
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 8: So I don't know what's going on. And some I

1299
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 8: think she had access to my text messages somehow because

1300
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 8: she knows what I was saying and a message to somebody,

1301
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 8: and she doesn't have access to my phone.

1302
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 2: Are you on iPhone?

1303
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 4: I am?

1304
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 2: Okay? And is she on iPhone?

1305
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1306
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 8: She is no longer like part of my she used

1307
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 8: to be part of like my Apple.

1308
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 2: ID right right, that's her.

1309
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 8: Own because that was a whole mess doing that.

1310
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and.

1311
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, so she has a different company now, she's with

1312
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 8: T Mobile with AT and T and yeah. So I

1313
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 8: have an Apple phone and she has an Apple phone,

1314
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 8: but she's not on my network anymore. That makes sense.

1315
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Well, yes, but I guess the question is is she

1316
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:54,919
Speaker 1: still somehow on your Apple I d like, maybe you disconnected,

1317
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: but she's still kind of either in your family or

1318
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, in the Find My app, because I'm thinking,

1319
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, there's either an air tag that's tracking you,

1320
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: which you know, if there's an air tag on your

1321
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: on your person or something like that, it would it

1322
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: would show up on your iPhone, you know, would say like, hey,

1323
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: there's an there's an unknown tracker nearby. So my feeling

1324
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: is that there's either Okay, so the things that I

1325
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: would think that could be happening here, there's either somehow

1326
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: somewhere along the line, you exchanged, uh sharing with that person.

1327
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: So for instance, my kids can see where I am

1328
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: on their iPhone because we've exchanged at one point, we

1329
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: set up some sort of you know, hey, we're in

1330
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: the family, and I can see where they are, they

1331
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: can see where I am. So I think maybe I

1332
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: would go through and check that on your Apple account,

1333
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,919
Speaker 1: see if you're sharing your your location with anyone. That's

1334
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: what I would look at, because otherwise.

1335
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 8: I mean, I don't think I am I think I

1336
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 8: did that, but I'll tell you, I'll double check.

1337
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I would double check because that's the only

1338
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: one unless she has a physical tracker on you.

1339
01:05:58,000 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 2: That's really the only way.

1340
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: Now there's other third party apps like if there's something

1341
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: that you know, maybe you know, like a Life three

1342
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: sixty or something like that, maybe you forgot about it,

1343
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: but again that would have to be on your phone

1344
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: and active. So maybe what I would do if you're

1345
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, you know there's a there's a locations,

1346
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: I feel like there's got to be some link to

1347
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: your iCloud account in some way, So I would go

1348
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: through all of those, like where it says family, and

1349
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: then in your privacy and security, I would go through

1350
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: like your location services, and I would go through all

1351
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: of those and make sure that there's no app in

1352
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: there that might get access to your location that she

1353
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: may also have access to.

1354
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well just just go through.

1355
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: And like make sure like for me, you know, I've

1356
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: got you I don't know, sixty sixty apps or have

1357
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: access to my location. Yeah, I mean, maybe she's just

1358
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: tap it into one of those. There's a lot of

1359
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: different ways that you can do this, but you know,

1360
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: if it's if it's somehow on your account, that's you know,

1361
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing that you can kind of stop on

1362
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: your end and then hopefully she can't. But I mean

1363
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: what I would do also is you know, maybe is

1364
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: she texting you this information.

1365
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 2: How she's saying I know where you.

1366
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 8: Are to a conversation. We were talking and she goes,

1367
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 8: oh you were here and this and now I was like,

1368
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 8: oh my gosh, okay, and I said, oh, yeah, that

1369
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 8: was it was so.

1370
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean, she could have also been she could have

1371
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: been calling your bluff. I would you know, she might

1372
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: She might just be saying.

1373
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 2: Some of the stuff.

1374
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 8: I don't think so, but maybe maybe.

1375
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 2: I mean it just you know, it depends.

1376
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Like There's my point is I would look for ways

1377
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: to actually to actually know if she knows where you are.

1378
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: The other thing you can do is just turn location

1379
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: services off on your phone altogether for a week and

1380
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: see if she can still work her magic and figure

1381
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: out where you are.

1382
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 2: I know it's.

1383
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: Tricky, but if anyone's using sort of an air tag

1384
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: or on the Google side, one of the find my

1385
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: devices gadgets, they all will report, whether it's iPhone or Android,

1386
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: it will report back to you and tell you that

1387
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: you have an unknown tracker following you. So you got

1388
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: to look for the ways that she may have access

1389
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: that could be, you know, as much as just going

1390
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: through your settings. Let's go to Melody and Carl's Bad Melody.

1391
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:07,439
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich?

1392
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 16: Hi, Rich, listen. I several years ago was building a

1393
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 16: house and in the process looking for building materials, and

1394
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:18,719
Speaker 16: I'd be out and.

1395
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Take pictures of the door or.

1396
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 16: That window and whatever, and anyways, I deleted all of

1397
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 16: those from my phone once my house was built and

1398
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 16: I moved into it. But now those photos still continue

1399
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 16: to show up on my screensaver.

1400
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Okay, unware screensaver on what on my lap? So your

1401
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: mac book my desktop? Okay, so you have like a

1402
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 1: Mac computer.

1403
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 16: I have a Mac and it's on my neck. Okay,

1404
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 16: so I check the library. They're not in the library

1405
01:08:56,280 --> 01:09:01,480
Speaker 16: because I deleted them. They're deleted from my other devices,

1406
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 16: so they're not on my other device with my iPad

1407
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 16: in my obviously my phone, but they still show up

1408
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 16: on my screen saver, and I don't know how to

1409
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 16: get rid of them.

1410
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 2: I went to my iCloud, yeah, and they're not there.

1411
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 10: Got deleted photos or to.

1412
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 16: Delete them there, but I can only delete photos that

1413
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 16: have been deleted in the last thirty days.

1414
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 2: So okay, well I get rid of them. A couple things.

1415
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: So first off, have you you've gone into your you've

1416
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: gone into your settings screen saver, Photos and then options,

1417
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: and you've gone in there into that folder where it

1418
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 1: says choose folder. No okay, okay, So that's where you

1419
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: need to go. That's the first place to go. So

1420
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll put these instructions on the website rich on tech

1421
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 1: dot TV. I'll put them in the show notes. But

1422
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: basically you need to go into the screen saver on

1423
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,560
Speaker 1: your settings. So system Preferences, screen saver, scroll down to

1424
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: where it says photos. Click there and it says source

1425
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: and mine currently says colors. But if it says choose

1426
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 1: choose folder or photo library, you have to go in

1427
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: there and find the folder where it's picking those pictures

1428
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: out of and delete the pictures out of that folder

1429
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: and then empty the trash and once you do that,

1430
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 1: it will be a better place. So that's where they live,

1431
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: and that's where it's pulling them from. So sometimes when

1432
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: you add a picture to a screen saver, or sometimes

1433
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,560
Speaker 1: it gets added, it's just in that folder forever and

1434
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of copied there. So once you decide, hey,

1435
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: I don't want these anymore, go in there, check to

1436
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: make sure they're not there, and that should do it.

1437
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 1: If that's not working. There is a way to sort

1438
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 1: of clear the cash on the screen saver that's a

1439
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: little bit more complicated, So I think you go with

1440
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: the first solution first. I'll put the other solution on

1441
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: the show notes. But if that doesn't work, you can

1442
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: clear the cash for the screen saver, which sometimes you know,

1443
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: sometimes your computer saying, oh, we know that that Melody

1444
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: wants these pictures here, so we're gonna make sure we

1445
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: protect them. Even if she deletes them in other places,

1446
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: We're still gonna save a copy of those so you

1447
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: can delete that copy as well. But I think if

1448
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: you go into that folder, you may find that it's

1449
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: directed to that folder and those pictures are in there.

1450
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Who wants to see construction photos on their screensaver? Nobody,

1451
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 1: especially when the construction's done. Great question, Melody. I know

1452
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: when I see the random pictures that I take on

1453
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: my daily basis for my work.

1454
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 2: I take so many pictures.

1455
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,799
Speaker 1: And they show up on my Google Home and I'm like, Google,

1456
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 1: why are you showing me these random pictures? They are

1457
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: not fun at all. You are listening to rich on Tech.

1458
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

1459
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology at eight eight eight Rich

1460
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,560
Speaker 1: one oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to

1461
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. Try to get to a

1462
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: couple more calls here. This is the final hour of

1463
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: the show this week. Coming up later on in the show,

1464
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 1: I've got a great guest, Max Tegmark, MIT, professor AI researcher.

1465
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 1: He is going to talk about the pros and cons

1466
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: of AI. What should we be concerned about because things

1467
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: are moving very fast in this AI world, so it's

1468
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: going to be an interesting conversation coming up a little

1469
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: bit later. The website for the show rich on tech

1470

Speaker 1: you can also email me there. Just hit contact up

1472
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: at the top. Jim writes in from Prescott Valley, Arizona. Hey, Rich,

1473
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: I've got a Fitbit Charge four. I'm a fan of

1474
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: the Fitbit products and wondered if any of them could

1475
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: push heart rate alerts to my iPhone like the Apple

1476
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Watch did in the story you shared a few weeks ago.

1477
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for all what you do and your help, Jim So, Jim,

1478
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: I think you're correct that the Charge four does not

1479
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: do the low high heart rate notifications. As far as

1480
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: I can tell, looking at a help page on the

1481
01:12:55,080 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Fitbit help center, it says the Charge five, Inspire three,

1482
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Sense two Versa three versa four, and Google pixel Watch

1483
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: will notify you when we detect your heart rate outside

1484
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: of your high or low thresholds when you appear to

1485
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: be inactive for at least ten minutes. I would also

1486
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: assume the Charge six, which maybe this wasn't updated for

1487
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: that one, that should also do it as well. So

1488
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: it looks like the newer devices do it, just not

1489
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: the one that you have. So all the pixel watches

1490
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: do that, and it seems like a lot of the

1491
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 1: fitbit watches do that. Plus the Inspire the charge but

1492
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: not the Charge force. You got to get a little

1493
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 1: bit higher. I'd go with the Charge six. That's the

1494
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 1: last one that I reviewed, and it's got a lot

1495
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 1: of good features, very simple if you wanted just a

1496
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: simple tracker, The Fitpit Charge six is really nice.

1497
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 2: So check out that.

1498
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: One great question let's see here from Rick in Peoria, Arizona.

1499
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 2: I love the show.

1500
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: My grand order has an eight month old iPhone fifteen.

1501
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: It lost its ability to send and receive cell data.

1502
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Works fine if connected to Wi Fi, but no cell

1503
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: data phone calls and text work. AT and T is

1504
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: blaming Apple. Apple acknowledges the problem, but blames AT and T.

1505
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 1: The phone still under warranty. Apple won't replace it until

1506
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 1: they remove the software and reload it, but she'll lose

1507
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 1: all of her apps. I read on I read somewhere, Oh,

1508
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,600
Speaker 1: I read somewhere there's an ongoing issue with Apple and

1509
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: AT and T. Any thoughts, Rick, love you, but this

1510
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,839
Speaker 1: is the problem with searching for stuff like this online,

1511
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: because what's going to come up the forum where all

1512
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: the other people that I've ever in the world had

1513
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: a problem with AT and T in the iPhone, you know,

1514
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 1: trade notes and No, there is no ongoing issue with

1515
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Apple and AT and T. Apple and AT and T

1516
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 1: are working just fine. It sounds like you have a

1517
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: problem with I message because you're telling me that phone

1518
01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: calls and texts work, and it works fine if it's

1519
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,680
Speaker 1: connected to Wi Fi but no cell data. So what

1520
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 1: I would do is I would do what's called a

1521
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:11,679
Speaker 1: network settings reset. So go on your iPhone, go into

1522
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: settings and then go into let's see here settings General.

1523
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 2: Tap there.

1524
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: Down to the bottom it says transfer or reset iPhone,

1525
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: Tap reset, tap reset one more time. And it says

1526
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 1: reset network settings, and once you do that, that will

1527
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: reset all of your network settings and you will have

1528
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 1: to reconnect your iPhone to Wi Fi and Bluetooth, but

1529
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: it should retrigger the I message. You may have I

1530
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 1: message turned off over cellular. I don't know if that's possible,

1531
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: but maybe that's what happened. The other thing you can

1532
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 1: do is turn off I message and turn it back on.

1533
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:51,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it just needs to reconnect the phone line. If

1534
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: she got a new phone, this is a relatively new

1535
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: phone that could be the case eight month old iPhone.

1536
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: But if that doesn't work work, what I would do

1537
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: is what they recommended, which is you have to, you know,

1538
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 1: restart the entire phone. Just just go back to that

1539
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 1: transfer or reset, erase all content and settings, and that

1540
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 1: will wipe the phone clean. Now, as long as you

1541
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: have an iCloud backup, you're gonna be just fine because

1542
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:18,599
Speaker 1: all of our apps are going to come back from

1543
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: the iCloud backup. But if you're having this problem and

1544
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: you do the iCloud backup and restore, you may have

1545
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: the same problem when you restore the phone, which could

1546
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: be pretty frustrating. So it sounds like it's an eye

1547
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 1: message thing, because you're telling me it works fine connected

1548
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 1: to Wi Fi but not on cell data. So it

1549
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,799
Speaker 1: sounds like some sort of messaging. Are these text messages

1550
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 1: that won't go through? Or is it? Is it just

1551
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: I messages that won't go through. If it's text, I

1552
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: think that network setting reset is going to work. If

1553
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: it's I message, that's another thing. But you're telling me

1554
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: it works connected to Wi Fi, So do the network

1555
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 1: settings reset. I think that's going to fix most of

1556
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: the issues you have. Carrie writes in how do you

1557
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: remove tickets from Ticketmaster from my wallet? There is no

1558
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 1: more button to select them to delete them. Great question, Carrie,

1559
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: and this is something that often comes up. Things go

1560
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,640
Speaker 1: into the Apple Wallet and they never come out. So

1561
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 1: I think the problem is what you're doing is you're

1562
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: activating the Apple Wallet by double pressing the side button

1563
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 1: on your phone, which yes, you're right, it does bring

1564
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 1: up all of your cards and when you tap a

1565
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 1: card you can show it, but there's no way to

1566
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: get rid of it. What you have to do is

1567
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: actually go into the Apple Wallet app. So open up

1568
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,600
Speaker 1: your iPhone, type in wallet find, you know, search for

1569
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: the wallet app, and now look at all of your

1570
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: your cards there. So, for instance, I have my WWDC

1571
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four pass and in the upper right hand

1572
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: corner there is a three dots in a circle. You

1573
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: tap that and then it says remove pass and when

1574
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: you tap that, you should be able to delete that.

1575
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: And so there you go. Once you have that, you

1576
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: will be able to delete those things. Let's go to

1577
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: uh Elsa in Plia del Rey, California.

1578
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.

1579
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 3: Hey Rich, how are you doing today?

1580
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic, Elsa.

1581
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 4: I need your help.

1582
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 3: So I have Direct TV satellite that I've had forever

1583
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 3: and I don't want to get rid of it. I've

1584
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 3: been kind of thinking about streaming and figuring it all out.

1585
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 10: But here's the latest issue for me.

1586
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 3: I wanted to keep the box in my living room.

1587
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 3: I got rid of my son's box so he can

1588
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 3: do the Direct TV app in his room, but in

1589
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 3: my TV, I have a Samsung TV and I can't

1590
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 3: do the app there unless I get a row crew.

1591
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 3: Is there something coming to change or I found that.

1592
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe it.

1593
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 3: They said, yeah, Samsung doesn't let you.

1594
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 16: I guess it's proprietary.

1595
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it depends there are. So you're talking about

1596
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: DirecTV stream. This is their streaming service. Is that we're

1597
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: talking about or are you talking about Direct TV's own

1598
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: streaming app, which, like, are you talking about You're just

1599
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 1: trying to stream your own DirecTV account or is this

1600
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: through direct TV Stream?

1601
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 3: No, I'm trying to stream my own Direct TV account?

1602
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 2: Okay, which you have one?

1603
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 1: So you have a satellite, You have a satellite, and

1604
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,560
Speaker 1: this is kind of included in your in your satellite,

1605
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: you can just stream direct TV correct.

1606
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

1607
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's the problem because the direct TV

1608
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: stream is a standalone app which is supported on some

1609
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: Samsung TVs, but Samsung TV has their own kind of

1610
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:26,719
Speaker 1: like app world, and it's not one of the major players.

1611
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: So I mean it is, but it's not. The major

1612
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: players are fire TV, stick, Apple TV, and Roku. As

1613
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: you found out, they said, oh, just get a Roku.

1614
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: The problem is you don't. You don't want a Roku

1615
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: because you already have the Samsung TV Smart tv right exactly.

1616
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: So the problem is you're beholden to what Samsung allows

1617
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:49,719
Speaker 1: on their platform, and Direct TV has decided that there's

1618
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,879
Speaker 1: just not enough of a user base on those TVs

1619
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: to support another app because their developers have to go

1620
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 1: through and write that app, and they're just seeing that,

1621
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't have the install base that

1622
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: we need to make this app. So we're going to

1623
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 1: make it for Roku, We're going to make it for

1624
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,679
Speaker 1: Apple TV, We're going to make it for fire Stick.

1625
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 2: But Samsung TV is going to be sort of left

1626
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 2: out of that.

1627
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 1: So I'm looking on the website to see have you

1628
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: looked at the direct tv website to see which Samsung

1629
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 1: TV models are supported, because some are.

1630
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 3: You know, I try to get onto my DirecTV account

1631
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 3: on my TV the streaming and it just said, you know,

1632
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 3: I just wouldn't go through. I'm getting that TV would

1633
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:32,639
Speaker 3: not support that.

1634
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like it looks like it's not on

1635
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 1: a lot of TVs, especially older TVs.

1636
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 2: How old is this TV?

1637
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 4: About five? Yeah?

1638
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at all the TVs on here and

1639
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 1: they're all relatively new.

1640
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 2: So I think the best bet for.

1641
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: You if you want to add that that service there,

1642
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: you're probably going to have to get a streaming stick,

1643
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: and the cheapest one is really, you know, like the

1644
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: fire TV. I think that one's pretty cheap. Amazon typically

1645
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: has them on sale. I know it's not ideal, but

1646
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 1: what you can do El says, you can breathe new

1647
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,639
Speaker 1: life into this TV. Are you using other streaming apps

1648
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 1: on this TV or no?

1649
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:12,679
Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, yeah.

1650
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 1: So the good news is if you get this little

1651
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, fire TV stick, you will be able to

1652
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: download all of the other apps that you already have.

1653
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: You're just going to have to go through that input

1654
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: instead of using the native kind of like TV interface

1655
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: that you're used to. That's the downside, and you know,

1656
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 1: but the the good news is the the out outlay,

1657
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: Like the expense for this is probably about thirty dollars,

1658
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: so it's not too much of an expense. It's more

1659
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: of a mindset that you've got this TV, you've got

1660
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: this smart TV interface, you can't get the app that

1661
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: you want on that interface. And so that's that is

1662
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: frustrating for sure.

1663
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 3: And one more day before I let you go, because

1664
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 3: as it turns out, direct TV came out with a

1665
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 3: genie that then I can get my apps or I

1666
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 3: don't know. Yeah, so the Technlicson came out and said,

1667
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 3: you know, it's what you just said. It's going to

1668
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 3: be alike because now you have your system going through

1669
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 3: something else. He's like, if you have all your apps

1670
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:07,719
Speaker 3: on your TV like you do now, you don't really

1671
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 3: need it.

1672
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed. I would agree with that.

1673
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: So I would say, do you what about just ditching

1674
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: the satellite altogether and just signing up for direct TV stream.

1675
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 8: I considered that.

1676
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 3: That was my whole that was the purpose, so I

1677
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 3: could try it out.

1678
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, the problem is it's not any cheaper. The problem

1679
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 2: is it's not any cheaper.

1680
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: Whatever you do, like Direct TV stream is basically the

1681
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: same price, and you may have like a promotion going

1682
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: with direct TV.

1683
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 2: So I would just personally, what I.

1684
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Would do is, uh is, just get the dongle, get

1685
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: the fire TV stick, all of the apps that you're

1686
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: already using on Samsung TV, download them to the fire

1687
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: TV stick or the Roku if you want to go Roku,

1688
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: go with that. They make a small stick as well,

1689
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 1: and then you know, just use that as your interface

1690
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 1: on this TV and that way you can still use

1691
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 1: your Direct TV. The only thing I would do is

1692
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: just check with direct TV to make sure that the

1693
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 1: app that you need to download is available on these

1694
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 1: streaming sticks, because it is. It sounds like it's slightly

1695
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: different than the DirecTV stream app, which is more widely

1696
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: used than the Direct TV app that I think you

1697
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: need to use to sign in with your account.

1698
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 2: More of your calls coming up.

1699
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight eight

1700
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. California is

1701
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 1: going to introduce digital driver's licenses in Apple Wallet. I'll

1702
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 1: tell you about that, plus the VPN that is free

1703
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: and it installs in your browser quickly. You're listening to

1704
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: Rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

1705
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: Demiro here hanging out with you talking technology. Coming up,

1706
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: we are going to talk to Max Tegmark, MIT professor

1707
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: and AI researcher about the AI world we live in

1708
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: and what could potentially be good and bad about that.

1709
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Robert in California. Robert, you're on with Rich.

1710
01:23:59,160 --> 01:23:59,719
Speaker 10: Very Rich.

1711
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 17: I have a question, another direct TV question as Yeah,

1712
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 17: what are the chances I just installed five TVs at

1713
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 17: a bar in Venice and their direct TV and there

1714
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 17: used to be a feature on their boxes where you.

1715
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,720
Speaker 10: Could have them automatically tuned to a Dodger game, so

1716
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 10: gets the business account, so the bartender didn't have to

1717
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 10: pick up a remote and change it you could program

1718
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 10: another TV that it would change over to, you know,

1719
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 10: the the Rams game, and they got rid of that feature.

1720
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 10: So my thinking was, well, that's cool. If the boxes

1721
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 10: can talk to Google or to Alexa, I'll just do

1722
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 10: a routine and you know, one of the bartenders or

1723
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 10: something a little set it up for the.

1724
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 8: Week or something.

1725
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 10: But they don't talk to Google or Alexa. And I

1726
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 10: don't want to use a Harmony hub.

1727
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 4: I thought about that, but.

1728
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 10: Is there something similar to a Harmony hub where I

1729
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 10: could have it change channels for me on a schedule.

1730
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: I think we've had this question on the show before.

1731
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. So the auto tune, Yeah, they

1732
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 1: don't do that anymore. And these boxes the only thing

1733
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: I'm okay, the thing that I think might work. And

1734
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: maybe you've already thought about this, but what about just

1735
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: DVR ing the games and so the DVR switches to

1736
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 1: that channel at that time.

1737
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 10: Shoot, that'll work that it'll just switch once you do

1738
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 10: the DVR.

1739
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1740
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: Now, the the problem is I think there's probably like

1741
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: depends on how many tuners there are on these boxes.

1742
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 1: So let's just say you have the box and there's

1743
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: two tuners, you know, because a lot of these DVRs

1744
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,719
Speaker 1: have like two tuners built in. So what I would

1745
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: do is try to see if you can record the

1746
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: game on both tuners, you know, like maybe record like that.

1747
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 1: That's the only downside to that plan.

1748
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 10: And maybe the Genie they're the Genie boxes, so uh,

1749
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 10: I'm not sure that they I didn't even look into

1750
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 10: whether they're recording, but that's a good idea.

1751
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's that's the only thing I can each

1752
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: has its own box. Yeah, I mean, that's the only

1753
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: thing I can think of is just try it program

1754
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,639
Speaker 1: the games in, you know, just just I mean anything,

1755
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: just record anything and see if it switches. But I'm

1756
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: just remembering from the days of TVO. What it would

1757
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: do is it would if you had, let's say you

1758
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:17,520
Speaker 1: had a thing recording, it would record that on the

1759
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:20,800
Speaker 1: tuner you weren't using in the background, and then the

1760
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: foreground would continue to stay on the show you're on.

1761
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 1: But the way to get around that would be to

1762
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 1: record maybe both. I don't know if it'll let you

1763
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: record on two different tuners, but that's the only thing

1764
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 1: I can think of other than other than some sort

1765
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:37,679
Speaker 1: of like ir blaster like you said, like a matrix switch. Yeah,

1766
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: well that that could work.

1767
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:42,919
Speaker 2: But what would that How would that work exactly?

1768
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1769
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,320
Speaker 10: A major switch. Then that's that's that's on the internet

1770
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 10: that I can talk to and have a schedule. Yeah,

1771
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 10: it's like a smart matrix switch. But I've never seen

1772
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 10: anything like that.

1773
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it seems that seems like you're getting a

1774
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: little complicated too, you know, like you want to keep

1775
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 1: this simple because you want it to work and you

1776
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 1: want to run your business. But I think the DVR,

1777
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: Try that and see if that works. If not, I mean,

1778
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, some sort of IR blaster or like you know,

1779
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to It's just depends on what the genie can.

1780
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 10: You know, Harmony, the Harmony hubs are just they still work, no, right,

1781
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 10: they're just not supporting them anymore.

1782
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just so complicated, you know, it's like

1783
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be programming and sitting there and trying to

1784
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 1: figure out you know, all these times. Try the DVR thing.

1785
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 1: I think that might work. But report back, go to

1786
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 1: the website. Let me know, you know, Rich on tech

1787
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 1: dot TV. Hit contact sounds like a fun place. Sounds

1788
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 1: like you got a fun place going there. Thanks for

1789
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: the call, Robert, appreciate it. California. Speaking of California, if

1790
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: you live in California, soon you're gonna be able to

1791
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 1: add your driver's license and state ID to Apple Wallet.

1792
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 2: This is coming soon.

1793
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:48,639
Speaker 1: We don't have a date just yet, but Apple has

1794
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,640
Speaker 1: announced it and this is going to happen. So I

1795
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 1: got a demo of this yesterday. You basically scan your

1796
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 1: ID with your iPhone, they verify it through the state.

1797
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, you get a digital version

1798
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: of your driver's license. And what's neat about this is

1799
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 1: that any business can just use an iPhone to check

1800
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 1: to see the validity of your ID. And the best

1801
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: part is it is private. So when you show your

1802
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 1: ID to a bouncer, if they have a photographic memory,

1803
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,559
Speaker 1: they could remember everything on your ID, right, everything from

1804
01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 1: your age to your weight, height, whatever your address. With this,

1805
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,839
Speaker 1: it only presents the information that they need to verify.

1806
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,720
Speaker 1: In fact, if you're presenting for like, let's say you

1807
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 1: want to verify that you're twenty one, you tap your

1808
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: phone to their phone and it will just verify without

1809
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 1: even exchanging your day to birth. It just says, oh, yeah,

1810
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 1: this person's over twenty one. It's all encrypted. Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, Georgia,

1811
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 1: and Ohio already doing it. Coming soon, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Utah, Oklahoma,

1812
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,679
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. Yes, this is happening digital IDs. You still

1813
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: need to carry your physical though. Don't forget. This is

1814
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: rich On Tech. Welcome, come back to rich On Tech.

1815
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: Very excited for my next guest, Max tech Mark. You

1816
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:11,880
Speaker 1: know we're all about AI. Max tech Mark is an

1817
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 1: MIT professor and AI researcher. He's also a best selling

1818
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:20,639
Speaker 1: author and founder of the Future of Life Institute. Max

1819
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 1: is going to talk to us about AI, its potential,

1820
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 1: and what could possibly go wrong.

1821
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 2: Max, Welcome to the show.

1822
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. It's a pleasure.

1823
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Well thanks for joining me, appreciate it. I'm curious because, well,

1824
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 1: first off, just briefly explain the Future of Life Institute.

1825
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 2: What are you doing there?

1826
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so my day job is just being a

1827
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 4: professor at MIT doing AI research many years so I'm

1828
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 4: basically a huge nerd. But ten years ago I also

1829
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 4: started this nonprofit organization to make sure that this ever

1830
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:55,719
Speaker 4: more powerful tech rebuilding actually just used for for good things,

1831
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 4: not for bad things.

1832
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 1: So you were initially very optimistic about AI's potential. What

1833
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 1: made you hopeful? And then I think the landscape has changed,

1834
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,559
Speaker 1: So what kind of changed your tune to saying hey,

1835
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 1: we need to be aware of this and kind of cautious.

1836
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 4: Great question, So let's look at the big picture a

1837
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:21,639
Speaker 4: little bit here. You know, the big idea that's given

1838
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 4: us all of computer tech and all of AI so

1839
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:26,640
Speaker 4: far as this idea that the brain is really a

1840
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:31,599
Speaker 4: biological computer and that therefore, you know, we humans should

1841
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 4: be able to build machines that do everything the brain does.

1842
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:38,639
Speaker 4: For a long as time, we struggled with figuring it out.

1843
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 4: And actually, back in nineteen fifty one, Alan Turing is

1844
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 4: kind of the godfather of the whole field to day,

1845
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:49,640
Speaker 4: I said that, you know, befar off, but if it

1846
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 4: ever happened, it's going to be cool. But we might

1847
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 4: also we're probably going to just lose control over it.

1848
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:57,560
Speaker 4: We're going to build a new robot species basically, and

1849
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 4: they're going to take over Earth. But don't worry. And

1850
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:03,679
Speaker 4: then he said, I'm going to give you a canary

1851
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 4: in the coal mine a test, so you know when

1852
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 4: it's close. He said, it's called the Turing test when

1853
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 4: machines get good enough at mastering language and knowledge that

1854
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 4: taken fool a lot of people into thinking they're humans.

1855
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 2: Now we're there.

1856
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:22,639
Speaker 4: This is where we are all of a sudden right

1857
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 4: now with GPTs four oh and so on. So you know,

1858
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:29,600
Speaker 4: there's a lot of fascinating debate about this. People. Some

1859
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 4: people are very excited, some people are concerned. I'm actually both.

1860
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 4: The people who are excited, they are like, they're like, oh,

1861
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,960
Speaker 4: this is great, because if we can make we can

1862
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:46,440
Speaker 4: amplify our intelligence, then we secure cancer, all the other diseases,

1863
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:50,000
Speaker 4: fegure out how to lift people out of poverty, solve climate,

1864
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:54,640
Speaker 4: you know, go to space. On the other hand, a

1865
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:56,880
Speaker 4: lot of people wants to remember tourings warning. You know,

1866
01:31:57,040 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 4: we're the ouphae species here on Earth, not because we're

1867
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 4: are more muscular than tigers, but because we're smarter. Right,

1868
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:07,000
Speaker 4: So it's pretty obvious if we build a robot species

1869
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 4: with ten billion robots that are way smarter than nuts

1870
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 4: in every possible way, better at manipulating us, better at

1871
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 4: building robot factories, better at inventing tech. They don't care

1872
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 4: about us.

1873
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, do you think do you think

1874
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 1: there's a scenario where we build the robot and eventually

1875
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 1: it turns on us.

1876
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 4: Well, of course, of course there is, That's what Touring

1877
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 4: was talking about. But there's also a scenario where it

1878
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:38,600
Speaker 4: goes really well, So I'll take that one. Well, the

1879
01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 4: thing is we shouldn't stay here and eat popcorn and

1880
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 4: just go to watch the future unfold, right, which is

1881
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 4: we're building it now. So which way it's going to

1882
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 4: go wholly depends on what we do. If we raise children,

1883
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 4: for example, we put a do you have kids?

1884
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:56,759
Speaker 2: I do, yes.

1885
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 4: You probably put a lot of effort into not just

1886
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 4: teach seeing them what a nice is and teaching them

1887
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 4: how to make fights, but also teaching them morality and

1888
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:09,719
Speaker 4: teaching them what's the good ways to use the knife

1889
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:11,800
Speaker 4: and the mass and not the bad ways. Right, And

1890
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 4: we need to do the same with our machines. And

1891
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 4: if we just have if you just take a bunch

1892
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:19,840
Speaker 4: of kids and put them in the kindergarten and give

1893
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 4: them a bunch of chain saws and hand grenades and

1894
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 4: tech that they're they don't quite have the wisdom to handle,

1895
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 4: of course it's going to go badly, right If you

1896
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:30,679
Speaker 4: educate them, well, great, things can happen.

1897
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. So, I mean, we live in America,

1898
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 1: capitalist society. We've got companies like Google, We've got open AI,

1899
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,599
Speaker 1: We've got Anthropic, We've got so many companies. AI is

1900
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 1: the hottest thing right now. If one company doesn't do it,

1901
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 1: isn't another going to do it? Because it's all in

1902
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 1: the in the you know, they're trying to be the

1903
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 1: biggest and the best depends.

1904
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 4: You know, look at the pharma. Would you say that, oh,

1905
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 4: if one person doesn't thee one medical company isn't allowed

1906
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 4: to build some self sentiment to everybody, someone else is

1907
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:08,600
Speaker 4: going to do that. Of course not. That's where we

1908
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 4: have the FDA, right so there's a safety standard and

1909
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 4: there's a race to the top where companies whatever company

1910
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,960
Speaker 4: can first produce safe drugs so they can persuade some

1911
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 4: FDA experts this the benefits of this O way, the harms,

1912
01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 4: they make the money. So there's a lot of discussion

1913
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 4: right now in California right about this new law s

1914
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 4: the where will they try to put in place some

1915
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 4: stuff going in that direction to make AI be a

1916
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 4: little bit like more like biotech or airplanes or cars.

1917
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 4: Where where the ultimately you have standards that the companies

1918
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:45,840
Speaker 4: have to meet so that they compete to make space stuff.

1919
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 1: So you think that would be that would work. Now

1920
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: that's in America. Do you think that would work worldwide?

1921
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:53,360
Speaker 5: Totally?

1922
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 4: I mean not because other countries like America. But you

1923
01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 4: know why is it that China has an FDA, Well

1924
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:01,920
Speaker 4: because a bunch of GIA these companies poisoned the ruse

1925
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:04,519
Speaker 4: of Chinese people in the past with bad drugs, so

1926
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:06,600
Speaker 4: they decided to protect the Chinese. They were going to

1927
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:10,600
Speaker 4: have some laws same in Europe. So actually it's really interesting.

1928
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 4: Europe has a new law now that u AI trying

1929
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 4: to have some shot safety standards for aire. China already

1930
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:23,000
Speaker 4: enacted some so a lot of people in California. Senator

1931
01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 4: Weener I really applaud this effort is trying to get

1932
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 4: something similar in California, but California law is much weaker

1933
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 4: so far, but I think it's a it's a good

1934
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 4: first step at least since there's absolutely nothing happening in Washington, DC.

1935
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 1: What's the most concerning part about all this is it

1936
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,719
Speaker 1: the fact that we don't have these rules in place

1937
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 1: before these companies continue to progress, or.

1938
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 4: What yeah, I think so. It's a there's so much opportunity,

1939
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 4: as we just talked about, right to do amazing things

1940
01:35:57,439 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 4: with this technology if we do it right, and it

1941
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 4: would be an incredible pity if we squander by having

1942
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 4: creating also the disasters you know last year, it's CEOs

1943
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 4: of all the top companies that you just listened there

1944
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:16,040
Speaker 4: a thropic, Google, Beat, Mime and Open AI, together with

1945
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 4: some of the most famous A researchers in the world,

1946
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 4: find this open statement saying it is to cause human

1947
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 4: extinction if we don't act carefully. So that's all.

1948
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 1: That's a big statement, human extinction from something that we're

1949
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 1: creating on a computer.

1950
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:40,360
Speaker 4: Well, you know again we're not. Yeah, if you think

1951
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,760
Speaker 4: people who dismiss this as just ridiculous, they tend to

1952
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 4: think of AI as just a new technology like the

1953
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 4: Internet or the Steam engine, whereas the AI researchers and

1954
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 4: the CEO to sign this, they think of it as

1955
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 4: a new species because you know, if you have something

1956
01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:59,479
Speaker 4: which is much smarter than us and can live in

1957
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 4: a robot body and can do absolutely everything we can,

1958
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:05,599
Speaker 4: and build copies of itself and it's own robot factories,

1959
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 4: not even species, right, and I think we should really

1960
01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 4: think twice if we do this, to make sure it's

1961
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 4: a species that we liked us and it's going to

1962
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:20,400
Speaker 4: help us flourish, rather than some species that just doesn't

1963
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 4: care about us and just use us as an irritating test.

1964
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:26,559
Speaker 2: Wow, this is so wild.

1965
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 1: I just I really it's it's like it's exciting because

1966
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 1: most of the consumers are just using things like chatchybt uh,

1967
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 1: you know, and and Claude and you know, Gemini and

1968
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: so it's it's just text based. But I think the

1969
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:42,559
Speaker 1: next level is what you're talking about, because someone is

1970
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:47,040
Speaker 1: going to build this into a robot form, which you know,

1971
01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:48,720
Speaker 1: we're already seeing a little bit of that.

1972
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 4: So of course, I mean it's up driving cars a robot.

1973
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:54,599
Speaker 4: This doesn't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in an Hollywood movie,

1974
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,280
Speaker 4: and it has a different shape and there's a huge effort.

1975
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 4: Now it has less Optimus and then a bunch of

1976
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:02,000
Speaker 4: other companies, and you know what's the craziest thing is

1977
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 4: it's that it's happening much faster than that we stought,

1978
01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 4: you know, five years ago, almost all my professor nerd

1979
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 4: colleagues thought it's something as good as Chatsypt. Four oh

1980
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:19,600
Speaker 4: was thirty forty years away, and boom it happened. You know,

1981
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 4: it turned out there was an easier way to do

1982
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:24,840
Speaker 4: it than we start. And a lot of people now

1983
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 4: who used to think that this this that's getting totally outsmart,

1984
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:32,360
Speaker 4: My machine might be one hundred years away, or now

1985
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 4: saying maybe it's it's a lot closer, five years away,

1986
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 4: maybe it's two years away. Are you even here people

1987
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:46,320
Speaker 4: one year away? Some people say no, no, it won't

1988
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:48,640
Speaker 4: happen for a long time, won't happen until end of

1989
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 4: the decade, like twenty thirty. So that we're not talking

1990
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 4: anymore about something happening on this timescaled climate change. We're

1991
01:38:56,600 --> 01:39:00,599
Speaker 4: to talk a lot. There's a real seriousness thinking now

1992
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 4: that you might just few years away from it, and

1993
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:05,599
Speaker 4: that means we kind of have to get back together.

1994
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 4: And I have some insights from State of California and

1995
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 4: from the governments and so on. Basically, if we can

1996
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 4: have an FBA for AI to make sure that it's

1997
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:18,639
Speaker 4: gifts as we get on the benefits and then other downside,

1998
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:20,720
Speaker 4: we have to start. Now.

1999
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:24,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave it there, Max, Thank you so much.

2000

Speaker 1: and I'm telling you I'm having this conversation where I

2004
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:42,880
Speaker 1: just I just got on my phone the Gemini Live,

2005
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:46,880
Speaker 1: which is Google's kind of humanistic version of AI, and

2006
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:50,599
Speaker 1: it is very convincing. So I see a future where

2007
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 1: build this into a robot and game over all. Right,

2008

2025
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:02,280

2039
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 1: questions you email into me. Jay writes in hey, Rich,

2040
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 1: I have an Amazon Echo plugged into my PC running

2041
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 1: Windows ten, but it has no microphone. I want an

2042
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 1: Alexa app for my PC so I can add remove

2043
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 1: Alexa functions via the app on the computer. The only

2044
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:07,040
Speaker 1: apps I can find it for smartphones. Thanks for any help.

2045
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: There is an Alexa app for Windows. I would try that,

2046
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 1: but yes, most of the functionality is through the smartphone apps.

2047
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:19,080
Speaker 1: Do you not have a smartphone, because that's pretty rare

2048
01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: these days, but yes, try downloading the Amazon Alexa app

2049
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: for Windows. Look in the Windows Store search Amazon Alexa.

2050
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 1: Neil's writes in I thought AltaVista did extremely well with

2051
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 1: its search results. I could hardly tell the difference between

2052
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 1: what Google returned and what AltaVista returned. In the late

2053
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:41,000
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, Google drowned out Alta Vista, Yahoo and others

2054
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: because of perception of marketing not necessarily superior results. Had

2055
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,680
Speaker 1: Alta Vista survived and had the marketing power Google had,

2056
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: they might be major competitors.

2057
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:49,759
Speaker 2: You said it yourself.

2058
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:52,800
Speaker 1: Google has thrown billions at companies over the years to

2059
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:54,120
Speaker 1: be to the fault search engine.

2060
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:57,120
Speaker 2: Alta Vista didn't have those billions. I do agree.

2061
01:42:57,160 --> 01:42:59,639
Speaker 1: I think AltaVista back in the day was very good,

2062
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:04,320
Speaker 1: but I do think Google had better search results. At

2063
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:07,160
Speaker 1: a certain point people realized they did have better search results,

2064
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:09,720
Speaker 1: and I think that that's what powered Google in the

2065
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 1: early days, and I think what solidified their power was

2066
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,439
Speaker 1: some of those deals you talked about. Thanks for the email.

2067
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,240
Speaker 1: Harry writes in from North Carolina. I just heard a

2068
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 1: segment about a solar powered electric car. I was wondering

2069
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: when someone would put a solar collector on the roof

2070
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: of a Tesla. You were the caller recommended mention the

2071
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 1: automatic driving mode of the Tesla. I'm sorry, but in

2072
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 1: my opinion, there's no place for automatic driving mode. I've

2073
01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:37,360
Speaker 1: been driving since nineteen fifty six, including semi trailers. My

2074
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 1: driving career ended due to an accident, but my driving

2075
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:43,719
Speaker 1: education remained. Too many people wrongly depend on cruise control

2076
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:47,479
Speaker 1: set at slightly above the speed limit and sit alone

2077
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:51,160
Speaker 1: in the passing lane, oblivious to their surroundings. I'm concerned

2078
01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:55,599
Speaker 1: about allowing an automatically driven vehicle to ride alongside trucks

2079
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 1: and tires.

2080
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:59,720
Speaker 2: Where's where's the intelligence? I don't know.

2081
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:02,240
Speaker 1: Use my automatic driving a lot, and it's pretty good.

2082
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:04,559
Speaker 1: You gotta keep an eye on it like anything else.

2083
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:08,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for the email. Dylan from Saint Louis writes in

2084
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:12,920
Speaker 1: months ago, you mentioned raise now called c GCX. I've

2085
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:15,120
Speaker 1: become a huge fan of the site. I now only

2086
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:17,479
Speaker 1: buy Starbucks, Amazon, and many other gift cards from this

2087
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,040
Speaker 1: site to get a discount. I don't go into any

2088
01:44:20,080 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 1: store online or in person without checking if GCX has

2089
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:25,760
Speaker 1: a discounted gift card. I don't know why everyone doesn't

2090
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 1: use it. You might want to mention it again on

2091
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 1: your program. I'm a devoted fan who listens to your

2092
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 1: podcast every week. Thanks for your hard work and all

2093
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: you do in helping us understand tech. Yes, raise, I

2094
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 1: didn't realize they changed the name to looking looks like

2095
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:41,680
Speaker 1: it's Gift Card Exchange or something GCX.

2096
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:43,439
Speaker 2: It is a great site. You save money.

2097
01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:45,080
Speaker 1: It takes a little bit of work, and not everyone

2098
01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:46,640
Speaker 1: wants to do the work, but yeah, if you do it,

2099
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 1: you can get it. Let's see what else here. David

2100
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 1: from Northridge writes in thanks for carrying the torch for

2101
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:57,280

2108
01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 2: You're the best. Well, thank you, that is my goal.

2109
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 1: Harley from Tallahassee rites in, mister Demiro, I always enjoy

2110
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:25,160

Speaker 1: you for listening there in Tallahassee, Florida. Macy from Coast

2113
01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 1: to Mesa writes in, I've been watching you on KTLA

2114
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:39,240
Speaker 1: since you first started. Oh my gosh, I probably didn't

2115
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 1: have the gray hairs on the side. I've used your

2116
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:44,840
Speaker 1: advice on so many issues. You are more helpful to

2117
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 1: the quote common people than you probably know.

2118
01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 2: Well, you know what.

2119
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:51,200
Speaker 1: That's probably because I'm a common person. You know.

2120
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 2: This is the thing.

2121
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,080
Speaker 1: I am not a tech expert. I'm not a tech

2122
01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:57,439
Speaker 1: like you know. I'm not like an IT person. I'm

2123
01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 1: just an average person that loves this stuff. And that's

2124
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:04,160
Speaker 1: why I try to tell you what we need to

2125
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 1: know about this stuff, because I'm just the same.

2127
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:09,680

Speaker 1: I get to play with a lot of this stuff

2129
01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:12,960
Speaker 1: and tell you the good, the bad, what we need

2130
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:15,599
Speaker 1: to know, the websites that are useful. That's the best
