The big news 26 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: this week, of course, was Facebook, with lots of new 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 1: features announced at their F eight This is their big 28 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: developers conference up in San Francisco. And the things that 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,279 Speaker 1: you guys need to know about here's the most important stuff. 30 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: Number one, dating inside of Facebook. So Facebook is now 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: going to be a dating app as well. You don't 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: have to use the feature. You do have to set 33 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: up a separate profile for that to work. And they're 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: not going to show your full name. And also people 35 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: are going to be able to text you, but you're 36 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to see links or photos right 37 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: off the bat, so it's gonna take a little back 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: and forth. So that's good. People don't just send you 39 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: crazy pictures. That's the number one thing. So Facebook, why 40 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: are they adding dating? Well, Facebook knows everything about everyone clearly, 41 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: they know your likes, they know your dislikes, and imagine 42 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: their algorithms just getting better and better over time hooking 43 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: people up. And they actually said that this is not 44 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: a hookup platform. This is really a platform for lifelong relationships, 45 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: so that'll be interesting. There's a lot of apps that 46 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: already use Facebook as kind of their basis for connecting people, 47 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: and so this makes a lot of sense that Facebook 48 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: is going to do this themselves. So the feature is 49 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: not in Facebook just yet, but it is coming soon. 50 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: So be on the lookout for a dating feature inside 51 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: the Facebook gap. And they said they're going to get 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: potential matches on dating preferences, things in common, and also 53 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: mutual friends. And of course you discover others through similar 54 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: interests through groups or events. That's kind of an interesting one. 55 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: So if you are in sort of a group of hikers, 56 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: you might be able to find someone in that group 57 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: because you already know you have a shared love of hiking. 58 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: So I feel like these relationships these days, with the 59 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: online stuff, the person that you're meeting up with is 60 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: getting closer and closer to like who you are, just 61 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: another version of them. All right, I'll tell you some 62 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: more Facebook features in a moment, but let's just go 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: right to the phone lines nine O nine you're on 64 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: with Rich? Is this one of my regulars? 65 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, this is me, This is Sam. 66 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: How'd you get in so quick, Sam, what's up? 67 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: I have no idea, but hey, I got a question 68 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: for you. 69 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: Okay, let me make sure that people can hear you. 70 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: Hold on one second, because last time, you know, you 71 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: came in, nobody could hear you. Okay, yeah, I can. 72 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: I can see they can hear you. So what's going on? 73 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: I just got a quick question. A friend of mine's 74 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: going to cut the cable here pretty quick, and I 75 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: told him that before you know, he's like with direct TV, 76 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: and I told him, I said, before you do you know, 77 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: before we call the guy out, we need to go 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: down and get you a good outdoor antenna. And I 79 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: think a lot of these guys that work for these 80 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 2: companies are independent contractors. So I'm hoping that when the 81 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: guy comes out to pull the disc or the dish, 82 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: that he can pay the guy to, you know, put 83 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: up his antenna. Do you know what I'm saying? 84 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I see what you're saying. That's uh hmm. That's 85 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: an interesting one. I'd be curious to see. Now. I 86 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: will say that I did have a Dish network came 87 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: out to my place to put up an antenna here, 88 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: so I think they do it paid. I don't know 89 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: if they will actually do it sort of under the table. 90 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: That's an interesting one because the guy's up on the 91 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: roof anyway, and the cable's already run right. 92 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: Right. And you know, like years ago when I moved 93 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: into this house, the guy from Time Warner came out 94 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 2: and I need did the post safe out of my van. 95 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 2: And I looked at the guy and I said, hey, 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: I said, you're an independent contractor, aren't you in The 97 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: guy said yeah, I said, you want to make a 98 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: quick ten bucks? He goes, what do I gotta do? 99 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: And I agree. I've been known to ask people that 100 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: come to my house to do certain things to do 101 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: other things. I'm like, hey, while you're here. We In fact, 102 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: it was funny when we when we got some furniture delivered, 103 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: the chair that they were, you know, that we were replacing. 104 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: I said, hey, do you mind helping me put this 105 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: in the garage? That's not part of your job, right, 106 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: But the guy did not mind. I tipped him twenty 107 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: bucks and it was all good. So I think you're 108 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: onto something. I don't know. I'd be curious when your 109 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: friend does this, does he already have the antenna that 110 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: he wants to put up there. 111 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: Well, no, we're going to probably go over like Walmart 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: and find one, you know. I mean I got mine 113 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: at a good Will for like eight bucks. It was 114 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: like one hundred dollars antenna somebody you know got rid of. 115 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: But you know, I know they have him over there 116 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: for you know, right around eighty ninety dollars. Do you 117 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: have anyone that you would recommend. 118 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Well, it depends what kind of reception he gets. But 119 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: I mean, if he wants to, it depends how much 120 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: he wants to pay. But and how much reception you want. 121 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: I like this one. I just tested it. It's called 122 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: the leaf Glide and it's from Mohu and it's ninety 123 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: dollars but it gets it. I plugged in three antennas 124 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: to my TV in the same area, and this one 125 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: got the most channels and it pulled in all the 126 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: channels actually for LA. So this is the one that 127 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: I really liked. Glide sixty five mile range indoor amplified 128 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: HD antenna and I didn't even hook up the amplified part. 129 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: That was before I actually plugged it in. So this 130 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: one was pretty good. But I also if you want 131 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: to get just a regular one that's not as expensive. 132 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: The Mohu leaf is kind of the one that made 133 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: them famous, and that one is pretty low on Amazon 134 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: right now. It's like thirty let's see thirty nine ninety nine, 135 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: but on Amazon it's even cheap it. 136 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's an indoor tip. 137 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: Oh you're talking outdoor. That's right, you're talking out tour. 138 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: You know what, I don't you know what, just go 139 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: to Walmart. If you're putting an outdoor anyway, you're gonna 140 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: get a good signal for the most part, I think. 141 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: So I bought that I bought. I bought that leaf, 142 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: the you know, the one that was uh, you know, amplified, 143 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: and it didn't it really didn't work for me, you know. 144 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: I mean it wasn't until uh well, you know, originally 145 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: I thought I had to put it on the roof, 146 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 2: but this one that I had came with a an 147 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: adapter just amount it on the facia. So I just 148 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: got out my ladder, put it on the facia, pointed 149 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: at where I thought all the you know, the reception 150 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: would be, and I get everything. So, you know, basically, 151 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna, you know, try to help him, you know, 152 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: once he cuts the cable. 153 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: Well, I I hope it works for him. I mean, 154 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think he'll get some good if 155 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: he's putting it on his roof. I think he'll get 156 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: some pretty good channels. So yeah, right, I had to 157 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: h while I was talking to you, my TV repeat 158 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: went out, so if you watch the live show later 159 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: you'll see.

I'm 171 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 4: not real savvy on I have a note eight phone 172 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 4: which I'm in love with, and I want to ask 173 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 4: you a question about the micro f sd XC card. Okay, okay, 174 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 4: So I want to make a jump up because I'm 175 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: actually filling up with all my photos and then love 176 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 4: clouded stuff, and I'm thinking to go to the one 177 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 4: or two fifty six I know with what you help 178 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 4: me with a little flash drive that going to a 179 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 4: bigger storage allows more processing. Is that true in the phones? 180 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 4: Also as far as speed of processing. 181 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: No, not this. This is just to store items on 182 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: this on this card, So it doesn't actually speed up 183 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: anything on the phone. So when you're talking computer memory, 184 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: when you put more memory in, it definitely speeds up 185 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: the computer. But this is something totally different. This is 186 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: like just adding a hard drive to your phone, and 187 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: so it's not going to speed up the phone in 188 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: any particular way. 189 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 4: So two fifty six sounds like a lot of overkill. 190 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: I would say. So, I mean, what do you have 191 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: in there right now? 192 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 4: Tons of pictures, mostly photos, but I end up storing 193 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 4: some videos, but not full length movies. 194 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: What size card do you have though? 195 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 4: All right now, I'm sorry, I think I have thirty two? 196 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: Okay, So I think that a one twenty eight would 197 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: probably be a pretty big jump for you, and I 198 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: think you're not going to fill that up. I mean, 199 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty good amount. A one eight gigabyte 200 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: sand disc Ultra micro SD card, which is what you're 201 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: talking about needing, is thirty seven dollars on Amazon, So 202 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good deal. And I think, I mean, 203 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: you could jump up to the two fifty six. I 204 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: just I think it's overkill. I don't think you need it. 205 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: I think that unless if you're doing a lot of 206 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: four K videos or something, then maybe, But right now, 207 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: I just don't think you really need that. 208 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 4: You know. A last little caveat to this, I've found it. 209 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 4: My only problem with this phone, which I love. I 210 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 4: can't tell you how much I'm locked into this not 211 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 4: eight is I do have time hard time getting I 212 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 4: usually carry two cards because I do work with it. 213 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 4: When I'm doing my reporting stuff and I'm doing a 214 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: video or whatnot, it's easier for me to transfer. But 215 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 4: that little trade that they use, yes, it seems to 216 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 4: be difficult to slide those in, and I can't get 217 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 4: a resolve of it. I'm not sure if it's the 218 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 4: design flaw or just my phone in particular is having 219 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 4: a problem. 220 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: You mean when you try to what the when you 221 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: try to slide in the card kind of pops up 222 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: a little bit. 223 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 4: Exactly. Yeah, we'll stand. I like carrying two cards so 224 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 4: I can do my business on one if I'm doing 225 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 4: a photo shoot or I'm not doing some reporting, and 226 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 4: then keep on personal on another one. 227 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: That's a tough one. Yeah, I agree. I've I've had 228 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: that problem with several phones with the SIM card slot 229 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: in general, where the SIM doesn't really stay in or 230 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: I agree with the with the Samsung phone. Now I'm 231 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: not I'm not changing out the card that many times, 232 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: but I do agree sometimes they kind of pop up 233 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: because they've gotten so flimsy with these plastic slots that 234 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: they don't really hold the card in. I used to 235 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: tape them in sometimes, but very very thinking that. Yeah, 236 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: but I don't recommend that. 237 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 4: Thank you so much for your show and your time. 238 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 4: I appreciate it, and you do a great job. 239 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: All right, Brian, thanks for calling in from a fun 240 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: Tana today.

I've got a eleven year 254 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: old and a fourteen year old, and my daughter really 255 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: likes to do a lot of drawing on the computer. Okay, 256 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 3: I've got an HP right now that she does, like 257 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: I can't drawing, but I want to get something in 258 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: that so she's in high school, get something a little 259 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: more that she could do more drawing and stuff. Would 260 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 3: what would you recommend a regular computer or a. 261 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: Mac or oh man, I mean, I'd probably, right off 262 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: the top of my head, I'd recommend an iPad, you know, 263 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean, she's got the with the Apple pencil. If 264 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: she's is she an artist? 265 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, she really loves to draw, oh man, with a 266 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: drawing arm, and she's i mean with the pixels. Is 267 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: she's doing really amazing stuff? Yeah, I mean a special 268 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: So I'm like, I'm looking for something that I really 269 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 3: encouraged it in there. 270 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: Oh man. I mean I think that the you can 271 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: get a basic iPad for the you know, most basic 272 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: version now supports Apple pencil, which is three hundred and 273 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars, and then the Apple pencil is another 274 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: one hundred, so that's four twenty nine and you're probably 275 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: gonna want to add a case. You know, you can 276 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: always get that later, but that's you know, you're talking 277 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: about five hundred dollars year. But I do think I 278 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: think the iPad is going to be really nice for 279 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: her because that's going to be the most flexible when 280 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: it comes to drawing. And I mean, I'm I'm playing 281 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: with one right now, and I just I mean, I 282 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: don't know if you can see this on the Facebook live. Yeah, 283 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: it's it's just unbelievable. The way you can draw on 284 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: this thing is you know, I mean, it's just so great, 285 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's it's like I never wanted 286 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: to like the iPad with the Apple pencil, but I 287 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: have fallen in love with it, and it's so much fun. 288 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: Not to mention for my job, I love that I 289 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: can highlight stuff on PDFs here because it wastes a 290 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: whole lot less paper, and the Apple pencil you have 291 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: to charge that. It's just it really is well done. Now. 292 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: The other thing i'd recommend, if you're not going to 293 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: if you want to get a full sized computer, they 294 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: have something from Microsoft called the Surface Studio, and this 295 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: is a lot more expensive, though I think this is 296 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: gonna be way way more expensive. I'm not familiar with 297 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: the price, so I gotta see, but I'm guessing it's 298 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars. Oh yeah, never mind, you're talking three 299 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. 300 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 5: I say go with the iPads. 301 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: Yeah never mind. I'm looking at that. It's like huh uh. 302 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: So I say go with the iPad. I think it's 303 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: very creative. If she is into art and into creativity. 304 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: I can't imagine a better device for that because it 305 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: just really unlocks that creativity and there's so many great 306 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: apps for it. That's the other side of this. I'd 307 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: recommend a touchscreen computer, but they're not going to have 308 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: the same amazing apps that the iPad's going to have. 309 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: Right, And I have one other question. What is the 310 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 3: difference between the chromebook and this irregular computer? 311 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: So a chromebook is basically referring to the operating system 312 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: on it. So a chromebook is most people think of 313 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: Windows or Mac or Chromebook. So chromebook the operating system. 314 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: Have you ever used Google Chrome, like the web browser. Yeah, 315 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: so imagine that as your entire operating system. So everything 316 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: sort of happens inside that web browser. And nowadays, when 317 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: you really think about how we use our computers. There's 318 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: almost no need to go outside a web browser. You 319 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: do your email, you do your YouTube, you can look 320 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: at your photos on there. So a lot of that 321 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: stuff is just happening in there. 322 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 3: So that the kid score are using chromebooks down here. 323 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, and it's and it's the cool thing about 324 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: chromebooks is there's no viruses, there's no soft updates. It 325 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: all happened, well, there are, but they all happen sort 326 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: of automatically, so you don't have to worry about updating. 327 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: And it's it's a very fast, kind of simple computer 328 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: that's very inexpensive. And so a lot of people like these, 329 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: especially in the education field, because they've just they're just 330 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: so easy and they're so simple, so I don't Yeah, 331 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: you can play games a lot of them. With the 332 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: newer ones, you can download any Android app to them, 333 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: so that's kind of nice too. But and you know, 334 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: you may you may have luck with that they do. 335 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: The new the one from Acer. I believe they just 336 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: came out with the chromebook with a stylus and it's 337 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: a I think it's an ACER model and that one, 338 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: yeah here it is. This just came out so you 339 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: might want to look at that one. This one is 340 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dollars, same price as the iPad basically, 341 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: but it includes the stylus. So that's kind of the 342 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: nice thing about that one. Stylus to you why, Okay, 343 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: for some reason it will let me search, but there 344 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: there's a picture of it with the stylist there. So anyway, 345 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: those are your options. I'd say go with the iPad. 346 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: I think you're going to spend a little bit more, 347 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: but I think the the return on investment is going 348 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: to be the highest out of any of these things, 349 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: if you ask me. All Right, Christine, thanks for calling in, 350 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: appreciate it. 351 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: Hey, take care, have a good one. 352 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: But bye. All right, moving right along, phone number three 353 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: one zero five nine four three zero zero three. So 354 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: while I wait for another call, I'll tell you more 355 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: about Facebook and what they're doing. Man, they're just adding 356 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: so many features to this thing. So to my TV, 357 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: I was still on, Okay, let's see crisis response. I 358 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: thought this was kind of interesting. People that are affected 359 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: by a crisis can now share first hand accounts of 360 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: information like road closures, damage, photos and videos. And that 361 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: feature is rolling out later this year, so they're kind 362 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: of putting people in the citizen journalism. Real people have 363 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: already been doing this on Facebook, but now they're going 364 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: to group it with some sort of crisis. So let's 365 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: say with the fires we had here in California, you'd 366 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: be able to upload videos of your area to let 367 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: people know kind of what's happening if the streets are 368 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: closed or if areas were burned that you know, you 369 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: wanted people to avoid. So that's pretty interesting. And then Instagram, 370 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: the big feature that they're adding there is video chat. 371 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: And I was talking about this with my brother today 372 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: and it's one of those things where why is Instagram 373 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: getting all these features? Well, Instagram is now the de 374 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: facto app for everyone, and Facebook sees some people moving 375 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: away from Facebook, so they're just trying to do whatever 376 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: possible to keep people in the platform. And Instagram is 377 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: owned by Facebook. And video chat is the next logical extension. 378 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people are chatting through Instagram, 379 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: so video chat kind of works. So and the cool 380 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: thing about that is it's cross platforms. You can video 381 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: chat with someone whether it's I'm Android or iOS, so 382 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that. See who has 383 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: the best deal on the Robert says, who has the 384 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: best deal on the sixth generation iPad? You know, when 385 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: it comes to iPads, you kind of have to look 386 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: out for deals. Apple usually doesn't put them on sale, 387 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: but usually BNH Photo will put them on sale, and 388 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: so will Best Buy once in a while. So watch 389 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: those two. And the best way to do that really 390 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: is just set an alert in slick deals. So if 391 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: you set an alert in slick Deals, you'll get an 392 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: email every time an iPad goes on sale. So that's 393 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: what I did when I was buying my kids the 394 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: iPad Minis. I just put an alert and I got 395 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: a lot of good deals on there, so that was cool. 396 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: Cindy says, why all of a sudden am I getting 397 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: news pushing on my iPhone? I assume you're talking about 398 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: the Facebook News app, because if you open that up once, 399 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: you'll start to get notifications from it. If you want 400 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: to turn that off, you have to go into your notifications. 401 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: So all you have to do is go into let's 402 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: see here, you go into your settings.

And 406 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: I know that because I did that on my phone 407 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: yesterday six six one. You're on with Rich.

Absolutely? Here's what 505 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: you need to do, Diane. I just help someone do 506 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: this the other day. And by the way, I have 507 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if I told you guys this, but 508 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: I am writing a book about the iPhone right now. 509 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: So I've been learning a lot, even myself. It's going 510 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: to be a how to book, a bunch of tips 511 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: on how to use it. It's kind of like a 512 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: user's guide, but written by rich on tech, so it's 513 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: more fun and it's interesting and it's all the little 514 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: things that I think are good about the iPhone. So 515 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: this was one of the tips that I wrote the 516 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: other day actually, And what you need to do, Diane, 517 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: is you have to go through and you need to 518 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: reset your network settings. So all you have to do 519 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: is go into Settings, then General, then scroll all the 520 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: way down where it says I can't see it reset 521 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: all the way at the bottom. Okay, don't get scared. 522 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: You're not resetting anything crazy. And then the third option 523 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: says reset network settings. Okay, so that's the one that's 524 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: the one that you want to reset right there. So 525 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: if you press that, you have to pop in your passcode. 526 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: But what's gonna happen is your phone is gonna delete 527 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: all of your network settings. So that's your cellular network, 528 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: your Wi Fi networks, any of those that you've saved 529 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: in there, and your Bluetooth networks, and you're gonna have 530 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: to repair your phone to your car and rehook it 531 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: up to your Wi Fi at home. But I'm telling 532 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: you it is going to solve your problem pronto, because 533 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: what's happening is there's a little bit of confusion inside 534 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: your phone right now with your home Wi Fi network, 535 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: and once you do that little reset, everything's gonna work 536 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: perfectly again. So I just did this with someone out 537 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: my work. Helped her do that and she said it 538 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: worked fantastically. So yes, there you have it, phone number 539 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: three one zero five to nine four three zero zero 540 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: three three one zero five nine four three zero zero three, 541 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: Mark says tech reporter an author. You're a double threat. 542 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: I love it, you know, Mark. I've every time I 543 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: go on the radio or on TV when I'm a guest, 544 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: I always heard these people. They're like, you know, so 545 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: and so is author of you know whatever book. I 546 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: want that to be me. So finally you can say 547 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: author of my book. And I won't tell you the 548 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: title just yet, but it's a fun title too, So 549 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: I just need to finish it. I'm almost done. I've 550 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: got you know. This is actually this podcast right now 551 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: is breaking into my writing time because usually I'm writing 552 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: in the afternoons. But I really want to get this, 553 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: really want to get this finished. And Diane says, thanks 554 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: for answering my question. I'll give it a try. Let 555 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: me know how it goes. I think you're gonna like it. 556 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: Let's see. Angel says, what's the easiest way to transfer 557 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: iTunes from one computer to another computer? I would think 558 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: you just drag over the iTunes library folder on your 559 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: computer to the new computer and then open iTunes from there. 560 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: It really depends also if you're on a Mac or 561 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: a PC, because I think there's a way on iTunes 562 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: that you can set where your library is used to 563 00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: be able to do that. I'm not sure if you still, 564 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: but I would just copy that entire folder over and 565 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: that way you can just launch it from there. I 566 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the best way to do it. 567 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: That's the way I believe I used to do it 568 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: that way, So yeah, three one zero five nine four 569 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: three zero zero three. I don't really use iTunes anymore. 570 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: I used to. I used to, you know, building that 571 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: music collection with such a big part of my life, 572 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: and now I just subscribe to Spotify. I've got Pandora, 573 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: and I just don't really want to have a music collection. 574 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't have a collection of anything anymore. I used 575 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: to collect everything, stamps and rocks and all kinds of 576 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: stuff and books, and now I just don't even do 577 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. Uh rohe says, great show. What 578 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: do you think of Uber and Google announcements next week? Yeah, 579 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: those are gonna be big. So Uber is having a 580 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: big event here in Los Angeles, Uber Elevate, and I 581 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be talking about their flying cars, which 582 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: I know isn't that crazy? So that is pretty interesting. 583 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: Then Google up in San Francisco is doing something called 584 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: Google Io and that's basically their big developers conference, and 585 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: up there they're gonna talk about all the things coming 586 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: to Google in the next year. And I say next year, 587 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: it might be the next two years, because when I 588 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: went there, it was I did this demo that they 589 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: showed me of ways on Android Auto, and no joke, 590 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: I don't think it came out on Android Auto for like, 591 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: I think two years after I did that demo a 592 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: year and a half and that was that was pretty crazy. 593 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: So I'm excited. I have to pick one, and I'm 594 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: picking Google. So I'm going there and I can't wait 595 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: to see. I thought this was so much fun when 596 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: I went to Google Io. I went two years ago, 597 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, and it was a blast. I mean, 598 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: Number one, I got to meet the CEO of Google. 599 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: I mean, how cool is that? So we were at 600 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: a party with him. I mean, what CEO just shows 601 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: up to like a party with a bunch of reporters. 602 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: That was really cool, and I got a picture with 603 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: him somewhere, and it's just fun. It's like it's literally 604 00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: a nerd fest. It's like a concert with nerds. Let's see. 605 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: Gladys says, how can you sort out pictures on your 606 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: iPhone as opposed to having them all in one folder? 607 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: So the way iPhone pictures work is there's not really 608 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: folders to be done. There's really the only thing you 609 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: can do to sort through them is to put them 610 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: in albums. So the system will make certain folders for 611 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: you if you go in there and you can see 612 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: kind of like the different folders, but they don't even 613 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: really call them folders. They literally call them albums. So 614 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: I mean you get a couple like camera roll favorites, 615 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: people places, videos, selfies, portrait, live photos, slow mo screenshots, 616 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: and then you get to create your own albums. And 617 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: that's really kind of think of albums as folders. That's 618 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: really the best way to do it. But to be honest, 619 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: you really don't need to organize your pictures much anymore 620 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: these days because if you go into the search functionality 621 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: of Apple Photos on your iPhone, you can start typing 622 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: anything in there and you'll find your pictures. So type 623 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: in something like Seattle and all your pictures from Seattle 624 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: will come in. I just typed in seat and my 625 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: son and I on the airplane seat came up. So 626 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: that's a little kind of a secret. It's also in 627 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: the book. I know it's all going to the book people. 628 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: So again, this is what I'm playing with every day, 629 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: is the iPhone to find out all these little tricks. 630 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: Seven one four you are on with rich what's up? 631 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 5: Hi there? 632 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 4: I have a question? 633 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: Who am I speaking from? 634 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 5: What my name is? Gary? From the Inland Empire. Okay, Mike, 635 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 5: I need to get a new home computer and it's 636 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 5: going to be shared by a couple of people. What's 637 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 5: the difference between a two and one versus getting a 638 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 5: regular laptop? 639 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: Okay? So the main difference between an all and one 640 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: is the power that you get from that device. So 641 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,239 Speaker 1: if you spend the same amount of money on an 642 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: all in one versus a laptop, you're going to get 643 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: more bang for your book with the all in one. 644 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: So the difference is are you going to be moving 645 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: this computer at all? Ever? 646 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to use it as I didn't mean 647 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 5: all in one. 648 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 4: I meant to. 649 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 5: A what's those ones that flip around? Okay? 650 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: A two in one? Okay, So like you're talking one 651 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: that has like kind of a it kind of goes 652 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: backwards and you can use it as a tablet and 653 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: it folds up and stuff like that, that kind of 654 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: thing versus a typical laptop. 655 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 5: That's correct, Okay. 656 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: The difference is really just preference, I mean, and and 657 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: a lot of times if you have the foldable screen, 658 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna have a touch screen as well. Even though 659 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: a lot of computers are the Windows side are coming 660 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: with touch screens. Is there a particular model you're looking at? 661 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 5: Not yet, I haven't got that far that I go 662 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 5: to the pro for some information. 663 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean personally, unless you had a use case 664 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: for the foldable screen, I would not get that because 665 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna pay more for it, and it's gonna break 666 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: quicker because you're folding the screen backs so often, and 667 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be better suited with a regular 668 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: laptop unless you have a reason. I mean, the only 669 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: reason I can see forgetting a screen that bends backwards 670 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: is one reason, and that's to watch it on an 671 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: airplane with these you know intent style, you know, where 672 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: you have the computer like this and then it just 673 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: sits on the tray and I can watch the screen. 674 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: Otherwise I don't really, I'm personally not writing on my 675 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: computer screen. I'm not flipping it backwards to use as 676 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: a tablet. I think it's way too bulky to do that, 677 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: so I don't. I don't see a reason to get 678 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: it too. In one, I would go with a regular 679 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: laptop over the two and one because you're gonna save money, 680 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna save yourself some headaches too. 681 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 5: My experience with laptops. If they say the battery last 682 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 5: eight hours, it'll last maybe two hours because they probably 683 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 5: do those tests with nothing on. 684 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: Yeah they Yeah, is there. 685 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 5: Any laptops that have a life that's real that last 686 00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 5: eight hours? 687 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: The newer ones do. I mean the Dell XPS that 688 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: I've tested, that one lasts a really long time. I 689 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: think if it's been a while since you bought a laptop, 690 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: the batteries definitely last longer. But here's the thing. I mean, 691 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: some of the some of the real like business laptops, 692 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: are gonna last longer the average laptops you're probably looking at, 693 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, five hours, six hours. It really depends on look. 694 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: It all comes down to what you're doing on the laptop. 695 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: If you're watching any sort of video, it's gonna it's 696 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: gonna go through that battery a lot faster. If you're 697 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: doing any sort of video processing, it's gonna go through 698 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 1: that battery. Me personally, ever since I got the MacBook Pro, 699 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: I feel like my battery just goes so fast. But 700 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: with that said, I can you know, if I'm traveling 701 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: for the day, I don't necessarily need to plug in. 702 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: But realistically, if they say the battery is rated for 703 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: fourteen hours. You know you're gonna get half of that. 704 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: You know you're whatever they say, you're not gonna get that. 705 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: Basically that's my experience. But I think, are you looking 706 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: for a Mac or a PC. 707 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 4: PC? 708 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: My advice is to have you figured out where you're 709 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: buying this thing. 710 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 6: No, I haven't even gotten it for so, I mean, I. 711 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: Really like getting the computers at the Microsoft Store if 712 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: you have one near you. The difference between that and 713 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: best Buy is that at the Microsoft Store they don't 714 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: add a bunch of extra software onto their computers. They're 715 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,439 Speaker 1: not allowed to. So it's just kind of nice because 716 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: your computer is gonna run smoother, it's gonna run faster, 717 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: it's not gonna have a lot of bloatwear on it. 718 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: So if you find yourself near a Microsoft store, just 719 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: pop in and check out some of the computers there. 720 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: And they have a nice selection too. So I'm not 721 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: opposed to best Buy. I just think that sometimes you 722 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: can get a little bit better of a system at 723 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: the Microsoft Store. So good question, And yeah, I'd go 724 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: with the I'd go with the just a standard laptop. 725 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be best. Thanks Scary for calling 726 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: in from the Ie today. Let's see, we've got Connie 727 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: who says, when we lived in Alta, Dina and we're 728 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: watching you on KTLA. You did a live video from Aldi. 729 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,959 Speaker 1: It was a new to the La area. Since moving 730 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: to Indie. We have a story near us. They just 731 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: did a major renovation. It's much more upscale. Thanks for 732 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: the original info. And that's funny you say that because 733 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: I got kicked out of that Aldi. I was on 734 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: a shoot in Kentucky, Lexington. What's the main city in Kentucky, Lexington? 735 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: I guess whatever city that Jennifer Lawrence is from. That 736 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: that was a big claim to fame, Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky. 737 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: And that's where I was. And I never saw an 738 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: Aldi before and I heard that they were coming to 739 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: LA and so I went in there and I live 740 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,280 Speaker 1: streamed it and next thing you know, they actually tapped 741 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 1: me on the shoulder and they said you gotta get out. 742 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: You can't. Well they didn't kick me out, they just 743 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 1: said that you're not all out to live streaming here. 744 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 1: I couldn't even believe they knew what I was doing. 745 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: I was just holding my iPhone right in front of me. 746 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: With but I had headphones on, so I was just 747 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: showing where that was. So thanks for watching when you 748 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 1: were back here, Connie. What would I suggest for dash 749 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: cam an internal car recording? Well, here's the thing. The 750 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: dashcam I like is called the Vava cam, and that 751 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: one is really cool. Did the did a story on 752 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: that and a lot of you bought one because that 753 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: was one of the most popular stories we've done at KTLA. 754 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: So this is it right here, Vava Cam. That's one 755 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen dollars. But if you want oh sorry, 756 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,399 Speaker 1: I'm on the wrong thing here there we go. So 757 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: if you want something that records inside your car, you 758 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 1: can either flip that one around. So if you noticed, 759 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: this one has a swivel, so you can just spin 760 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: this around if you want to record the interior of 761 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: your car, and then you can spin it back around 762 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: to record the exterior. But if you want both at 763 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: the same time, there's this dash cam called the owl cam, 764 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: and they really call it a security camera, and this 765 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: one records both the front and the back at the 766 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: same time of your car. The reason why I have 767 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: not done a story on this thing for KTLA is 768 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: that it's really expensive. You're talking. I think, let's see, 769 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dollars and that includes the LTE 770 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: service for a year, So that's much more expensive than 771 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,439 Speaker 1: a lot of people want to spend on a dash cam. 772 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: It's really cool and it has a lot of great features, 773 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: but it's just it's an expensive thing, and you have 774 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: to pay once you once you have this thing for 775 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,399 Speaker 1: a while, after the first year, you have to pay 776 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: for LTE service, which I think is ten dollars a month, 777 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: So that's not cheap, all right. Is it possible to 778 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: turn off my TV from a remote area? Hang on? 779 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: Let me know where am I going? Here? From a 780 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: remote area? So I don't have hold on? Is it 781 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: possible to turn my TV off for a remote area? 782 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: I don't have Apple TV and I have an iPhone ten. 783 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: I have a Visio TV and it's ten years old.
