1 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Microsoft makes some big announcements in New York and Google 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: unveil some new privacy features. You should know about what's 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: going on. I'm Rich Dmiro. This is Rich on Tech, 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: the podcast where I talk about this stuff I think 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: you should know about happening in the tech world. And 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: it's also where I answer the questions that you send me. 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: And on this show, we'll do things a little differently. 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: Since I'm streaming live on Facebook, I will attempt to 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: take some of your questions live on the show. So 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: Producer Megan, in case you haven't noticed, she is not 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: with me today. She is vacationing somewhere in the world, 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: I believe somewhere tropical. So I'm very jealous of her today. 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 1: But I am handling the show solo, and I've got 14 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: lots of good questions for you, and also lots of 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: updates from this new Microsoft event. I was just in 16 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: New York City for a Microsoft Surface event. I personally 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: don't necessarily use a surface. I use a MacBook Pro. 18 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: But a lot of people love the Surface devices, and 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: I see why. It's kind of the best of both worlds. 20 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: You've got a tablet, you've got a sort of a 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: laptop at the same time, and it's everything you need 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: all in one. And for me personally, I do a 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: lot of video editing, so I use a MacBook Pro 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: and it's tough for me to switch to a Windows device. 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: I know plenty of creators that do that, but for me, 26 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: I'm just so used to my Final Cut Pro I 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: can't leave it. And I love my computer. You guys 28 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: know if you follow me, that I just paid about 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars to replace the hard drive. 30 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: In my laptop. 31 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: Five hundred and fifty dollars, I think to be exact 32 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: who But the cool thing about these new Microsoft devices 33 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: is that they are going to allow you to replace 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: the hard drive yourself in both the laptops and the tablet. 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: So let me just quickly run down what Microsoft announced 36 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: at their event. They announced five new products, Surface Laptop three, 37 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: Surface Pro seven, Surface pro X, Surface earbuds. Those are 38 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: all going to be available by the end of the year. 39 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: Then there's two new devices, the Surface Neo and the 40 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: Surface Duo. Let me go through these quickly so that 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: you understand what's happening with the Surface. So Surface Laptop three. 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: I do have a lot of experience with that device. 43 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: Surface Laptop three is the newest and latest and greatest. 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: It now comes in a bigger size, so you can 45 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: get in a thirteen inch or a fifteen inch. It's 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: also twice as fast. And if you had if I 47 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: had to pick a Windows laptop, this would be it. 48 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: It is a beautiful laptop. The styling is impeccable, it 49 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: is it's it's just amazing. So if I had to 50 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: choose a Windows laptop, this would definitely be it. In fact, 51 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: I might be tempted by the fifteen inch laptop. I've 52 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: been editing with this new program called Adobe Rush, and 53 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: I can do ninety nine percent of what I need 54 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: to do for TV on that program that runs perfectly 55 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: on this Surface Laptop three, So that could tempt me 56 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: to come over. This is the fastest, according to Microsoft, 57 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: fastest lightest fifteen inch laptop you can buy. They really 58 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: went to great lengths to explain how comfortable the typing 59 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: experience is, and I tried the keyboard out on it 60 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: and it was very comfortable. I cannot stand the keyboard 61 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: on my MacBook Pro. It is terrible, terrible, terrible. Maybe 62 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: the new ones are better. Mine's a year old two 63 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: years old. They also have a larger track pad on it, 64 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: and for the first time, you get both USB A 65 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: and C. USB C is the popular connector these days 66 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: now that's available on the surface laptop, so you really 67 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: get everything you need. This is a pretty good device. 68 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: It also has fast charging, which means it's gonna charge 69 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: nice and fast, just like your smartphone, up to eighty 70 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: percent in about an hour. The thirteen inch starts at 71 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: nine ninety nine and the fifteen inch starts at eleven 72 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: ninety nine. I always recommend going for the next level up, 73 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: so if you're going for that eleven ninety nine. They 74 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: make those prices sound super sexy for people that just 75 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: want to get something, but in reality, if you go 76 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: a little bit higher, you're already going like almost the 77 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: whole disc. And it's just go a little bit more 78 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: and pay a little bit more and you're gonna get 79 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: a lot more for that money. Surface Pro seven. Let's see, 80 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: not much to tell you about the Surface Pro seven, 81 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: except again they added USBC and it's now twice as fast. 82 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Now the Surface pro x not the Surface Pro ten. 83 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: Everyone seems to be loving that X naming convention this year. 84 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: Surface pro X is their thinnest, lightest, most powerful surface 85 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: Pro ever, and it's also connected. 86 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: It's got LTE built in, which is really cool. I 87 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: love that idea. 88 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: And taking a page from the Apple playbook, Microsoft created 89 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: their own chip with Qualcom called the SQ one, which 90 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: means this is gonna have some advantages because they made 91 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: this chip specifically for this device. It's also very thin. 92 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: They say it gives you a thirteen inch screen and 93 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: a twelve inch device. 94 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: And one of the cool. 95 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: New features they have the storage for the pen right 96 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: in the keyboard case. So if you get the keyboard 97 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: case and the pen, which by the way, adds a 98 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: whole bunch of money to this ice, you can store 99 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: the slim pen right in the keyboard case, which is 100 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: really cool. I love this fact that you can do 101 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: that because it just means that the pen is always there, 102 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't get lost, and it also charges the pen, 103 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: which is really cool. The Surface Pro seven starts at 104 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: seven forty nine. The Surface pro x starts at nine 105 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: to ninety nine. Now let's talk about the surface earbuds. 106 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: I tried these on and they look super weird. They 107 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: look like big giant discs in your ear. 108 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: But I will tell you. 109 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: They were very comfortable, very lightweight, and there's also some 110 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: tap things you can do on them where you can 111 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: swipe to move the song to the next song and 112 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: all this different stuff. I didn't have much luck with that. 113 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: I also couldn't hear them very well because it was 114 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: super loud in there. But I do think these are promising. 115 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: I would place them somewhere between the Galaxy buds. 116 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 2: And the AirPods. 117 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: They might actually be better than the Galaxy buds as 118 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: staying in your ears. Those are going to be expensive though. 119 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: Two hundred and forty nine dollars. That's a lot for 120 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: earbuds considering the kind of the best on the market 121 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: right now. The AirPods are one sixty, so this is 122 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: almost a full hundred dollars more expensive than those. All right, now, 123 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: let's talk about the two fun things that Microsoft announced, 124 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: the Surface Neo and the Surface Duo. This is just 125 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: it's crazy for a company to show us something that's 126 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: not coming out for a whole other year. And by 127 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: the way, we saw this with Apple. Do you remember 128 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: something called the air Power. They showed off that charger 129 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: at one of their events, and guess what, it never 130 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: saw the light of day. Let's hope that doesn't happen 131 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: with these two devices. Surface Neo is a dual screen 132 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: device built for productivity on Windows ten X. This is 133 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: their new dual screen operating system. It's got a three 134 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty degree hinge with two. 135 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: Nine inch screens. 136 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: So this is not a foldable display, but it's a 137 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: display that sort of folds in half. It's a dual display, 138 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: so two nine inch screens give you a thirteen inch 139 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: display total. It's really thin and you can also connect 140 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: all the other stuff. Think of it as a surface, 141 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: but both of the screens the up in the bottom 142 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: are both screens, so you can do a lot with that. 143 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Then the Surface Duo is a surface that fits in 144 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: your pocket. So this is a lot smaller. Yes, it 145 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 1: makes phone calls. Yes, it runs some sort of version 146 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: of Android along with Windows apps. And are you know 147 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: Windows Desktop apps not? There's no Windows Mobile going on here. 148 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: They're not bringing that back. 149 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: They were. 150 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: They understand what's going on in the mobile landscape. It's 151 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: Android versus iOS. 152 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: That's it. 153 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: They're not trying to change that. But these are two 154 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: five point six inch screens that unfold to eight point 155 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: three inches and they showed me. They wouldn't let me 156 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: touch this thing, but they had it like by ropes. 157 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: But they did give me a demo of it not on. 158 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: The screens were not on, but you know how you 159 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: can fold it, unfold it the size of the screens. 160 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: It looks cool. 161 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: Do I think this is the future right now? I 162 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: don't think right now, but I think that they're onto 163 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: something and it does seem like these foldable displays will 164 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: be part of our future when it comes to computing. 165 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: While you're calling in, let's get a question from my 166 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: Facebook page, Facebook dot com slash rich on tech.

I have the ten 173 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: ten are no, the bugs are not ironed out. I 174 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: am still having so many issues with iOS thirteen even 175 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: though we're on thirteen point one point two. So my advice, 176 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: Laurel is to just hang tight unless you need it. 177 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: Unless you need that dark mode, you probably don't want 178 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: to upgrade just yet. I've never seen more issues with 179 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: this with an upgrade I have, but it's unfortunate, but 180 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: they keep ironing things out, so just I would hold 181 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: off as long as humanly possible. Right now, Carolyn rode 182 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: into my website richontech dot TV. She said, consumer cellular 183 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: grand Pad tablets, because this is non Internet service what 184 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: technical port links the connection for face to face conversation, 185 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: and I had to look up what this is exactly. 186 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: So the grand Pad is a tablet that is aimed 187 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: towards senior citizens and it looks like a simple Android 188 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: tablet that has you know, looks like calls, email, photos, 189 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: and camera for video conferencing, plus a little stand. And 190 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: I generally don't like things like this because it, you know, 191 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: you're basically putting faith in this platform, this consumer. 192 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: Cellular, which is pretty big. 193 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: They're actually very popular, so that's fine, but you're putting 194 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: faith in this platform that is not proven, so I'm 195 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: a little hesitant with that. 196 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 2: And then the thing is. 197 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: Two hundred dollars today with eas say so it's like 198 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: ten dollars plus forty dollars a month for a service plan. 199 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: So the simple answer to question Carolyn is that there 200 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: is a service plan. So there is cellular built into 201 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: this device, and that's how it's doing things. But I imagine 202 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: it's also using Wi Fi, so it connects your Wi 203 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: Fi network, it connects to cellular when it doesn't have 204 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Wi Fi, and that's how you're doing those things. I 205 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: would probably recommend if you have a senior and you 206 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: want to get them something to video chat, I would 207 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: probably look into something like the Amazon Echo Show, the 208 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: Google Nest Hub Max that has the camera on it. 209 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: So I would look into one of those because I 210 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: think that those are a better platform, and also the 211 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: person on the other end can use just like Skype 212 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: or Google Duo to make a call. Three two three, 213 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: you're on with Rich. Who am I speaking with? 214 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 2: Hi? 215 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: Mark? Where are you calling from? 216 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: Mark and Monrovia? Welcome to the show? 217 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 4: Well, thank you Rich. My question is not so much technical, 218 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 4: but it's regarding text. What is your view on insurance 219 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 4: on these devices that they provide from the carriers? 220 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: Great question? 221 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: So my okay, So I can tell you my opinion 222 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to my rational opinion and then my 223 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: everyday person opinion. Right, So my rational self tells me, 224 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: don't pay fifteen ten to fifteen dollars a month, put 225 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: it in a savings account, and when something happens to 226 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: your device, you know, maybe six months down the line, 227 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: you've got anywhere from sixty to ninety dollars saved up 228 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully the repair is not that expensive. Now, the 229 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: other side of me says, it's ten dollars a month 230 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: and it gives you a lot of you know, it 231 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: just gives you that security of knowing that if something 232 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: happens to your device, it's not going to cost you 233 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: a ton to get the screen repaired or whatever. So 234 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: I think with the way Apple does it, you can 235 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: do I think it's like ten dollars a month now. 236 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: They're doing it monthly, by the way, so you can 237 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: do it forever or as long as they let you. 238 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how long that is. But instead of 239 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: paying the two years up front, you can pay you know, 240 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: ten bucks a month or fifteen dollars a month if 241 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: you want the loss protection and the theft protection. So 242 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: I personally don't buy the protection plans I have in 243 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: the past, and when I have bought them, I usually 244 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: get Square Trade because it's a little bit cheaper and 245 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: you can still get it repaired pretty easily. I think 246 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: for ninety nine percent of people. The easiest thing to 247 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: do is get it through your carrier or through Apple, 248 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: because then you just bring the phone back to what 249 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: where's closest to you. So I think that's easy, but 250 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: it also is a very expensive way to protect your device. 251 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: But then again, insurance is expensive. It gives you peace 252 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: of mind. And when you're looking at ten dollars a month, 253 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: I always call it, did you buy a beer this month? 254 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: So if you bought a beer for you know, five 255 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: six bucks, you've already spent that much money. And how 256 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: long did that last you? 257 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: You know? 258 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: And this is you can if you don't drink beer, 259 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: you can put that on anything. You know, maybe you 260 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: went to a movie one night. It's cost seventeen dollars 261 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: that gave you two hours of entertainment. So it's it's 262 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: one of these things that I think comes down to 263 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: a personal decision. But I think in the long term 264 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: we probably ruin our phones less than we think. If 265 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: you're very accident prone, you know, you may want it, 266 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: but if you're not. I mean, I test a lot 267 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: of phones. I've I've broken exactly three in the ten 268 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: years that I've been testing phones, So that kind of 269 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: gives you an idea of and I a lot of 270 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: times I'll keep the case on fifty percent of the 271 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: time because I want to see what a phone is 272 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: like with and without the case. 273 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 4: Now not my follow up was you carrier, which it's 274 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 4: not important us, but they only provides one type of 275 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 4: others out there through these types of bud devices. 276 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think the most popular is uh, square 277 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: Trade squ ar So square Trade is a good one. 278 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: And then I think the other one is is really 279 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: Apple Care. That's the other popular one. You can go directly. 280 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: You can actually do it now through your phone if 281 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: you buy a new iPhone. I notice there's now a 282 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: new option inside the settings to add Apple Care to 283 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: your phone right from the phone. So if you go 284 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: into Settings General, it says like and actually I talk 285 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: about this in my book because you can now see 286 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: the warranty time period two in your phone. But it 287 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: basically lets you add Apple Care right from your phone. 288 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: It tells you how many days you have left to 289 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: do that, because there's a certain window of time that 290 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: you have when you get a new device to add 291 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: the insurance. So I would look into that, and I 292 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: would compare a couple of In fact, It's funny you 293 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: asked this question because I have a story idea for 294 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: KTLA where I'm going to compare some of these different 295 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: insurance companies. But in general, if you're going with a 296 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: third party like Square Trade, it's going to be cheaper. 297 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: Apple Care is right in the middle, and I feel 298 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: like the carriers are just a little bit more expensive. 299 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: But you have to remember there are usually deductibles no 300 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: matter what, so even if. 301 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 4: You pay regardless of the dam. 302 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that's that's different. 303 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: Now with Apple I do believe it's only twenty nine 304 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: dollars if you crack your screen if you have Apple 305 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: Care for the first two incidents. So the way I 306 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: always look at these insurance plans, I add up for 307 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, how long I think I'm gonna keep the phone, 308 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: Let's say two years. I add up the monthly fee 309 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: plus what it would cost to actually do one fix, 310 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: which in the case of a screen, would be thirty dollars. 311 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: So if you look at ten dollars a month times 312 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: two years, that's two forty plus thirty dollars, that is 313 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: is two seventy. So you're looking at two hundred and 314 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: seventy dollars for the first time you need a screen replacement, 315 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're looking at. But you get 316 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: two years of security with your phone. So it's a 317 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: good question. It's one that you know, I think is 318 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: a very personal decision for people. A lot of people 319 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: just feel better having the insurance on their phone. All right, 320 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: Thanks Mark, thanks for calling in. Appreciate it. Good good question. 321 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: I struggle with that myself. But in general, I think 322 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: that if you can save the money and you're good in, 323 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: you know, being diligent about putting that money away, it's 324 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: never gonna catch up, probably will never catch up to 325 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: how much you need when you know when you need 326 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: that repair, but at least you'll have half of it 327 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: saved away, and then it's like not as bad now. 328 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: I was kind of telling Mark the story. But I 329 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: have replaced, or I have now repaired this laptop twice, 330 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: and so I call this my three thousand dollars laptop, 331 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: even though it started out as a two thousand dollars laptop. 332 00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: Because the first repair was my kid through a a 333 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: toy at my screen and it cracked the screen, and 334 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: that was I think a five hundred dollars repair. And 335 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: then the second time my hard drive failed and that 336 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: was a five hundred and fifty dollars repair. So now 337 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm holding on to this computer as long as humanly 338 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: possible because it has cost me so much more than 339 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: it should have cost me. But great question, and uh Courtney. 340 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: On the live stream, Courtney Rogers says, your story idea 341 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: for KTLA was from me, So thank you, Courtney, and 342 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: I will I will do my research and actually come 343 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: up with a story for KTLA because I do think 344 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: that people need to know about that stuff. Question from James' guest, 345 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: He says iOS thirteen point one point two for iPad 346 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: is requiring a passcode? How do I avoid a passcode? Well, James, 347 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, as a tech guy, I can never ever 348 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: ever recommend that you don't put a passcode on your device. 349 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: You should always have a passcode. The reason why is 350 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: because you got to protect your device. Let's say someone 351 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: finds this device, it is now totally it's worthless to 352 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: you because they're going to be able to easily take 353 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: it over. If you don't have a passcode on there, 354 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: your personal information is at risk. If you don't have 355 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: a passcode, you just always need a passcode. I know 356 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: it's a pain and it's tough. You got to type 357 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: it in. They want you to do six digits. There 358 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: are two things now you're asking about thirteen point one 359 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: point two. I don't know this to be sure that 360 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: they're requiring a passcode, but in the past I can 361 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: speak to how the iPhones are generally set up, and 362 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: in the past it says please put in your passcode. 363 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: But if you look way at. 364 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: The bottom, it says you can have an option for 365 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: new options, and the options are if you want to 366 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: do a four digit passcode or bypass the passcode altogether. 367 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 2: So it is small print. 368 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: It's at the bottom of that screen, and they make 369 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: it so that you don't really see it, kind of 370 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: blends into the background, so you don't choose that option. 371 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: But the reality is they want that option on there. 372 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: They don't want you to choose that option, and I 373 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: don't think you should. I think you should have a 374 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: passcode on your iPad. There's no reason why you shouldn't. 375 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: And yes, it takes a little bit longer, but it's. 376 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: Totally worth it, believe me. 377 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: All Right, while we're waiting for another call, let me 378 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: tell you about some new Google privacy features. So they 379 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: have introduced at least four new ways to protect and 380 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: control your privacy on Google and the first is incognito 381 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: mode on Maps, and this is on Android. In fact, 382 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: this was on my Android for a while. I guess 383 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: I was in the test case. I didn't know that 384 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: I was one of the testers of this. But if 385 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: you go into your Maps and if you tap your 386 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: little head in the upper right hand corner, there is 387 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: now a new option that says incognito mode, and you 388 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: press that, and now it stops tracking you. So any 389 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: restaurants you search for, any directions you go to or 390 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: navigate to, it's not going to keep that in your 391 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: Google history. So if you want to try that out, 392 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: just go into Google Maps on Android right now. At 393 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: the top, you'll see a little search bar. To the 394 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: right of that search bar is your face or your 395 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: profile picture. Tap and then it says incognito mode. You 396 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: tap that, and now it's gonna stop tracking you and 397 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: it will not be saved and used to personalize your 398 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: Maps experience. So let's say you're researching a restaurant that 399 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: you don't want anyone else to know about because it's 400 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: you don't want it to affect your recommendations from Google. 401 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: You can tap that incognito mode. It's coming to iOS soon, 402 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: they say, auto delete is coming to YouTube. This is 403 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: something that's expanding on location history and web and app activity. 404 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: This is something that you've been able to delete on 405 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: Google for a couple of months now, maybe six months ago. 406 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: So now you can extend this to YouTube. So if 407 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: you go into your YouTube settings, there is now an 408 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: option to auto delete your YouTube history. And what that 409 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: means is you can delete all the stuff that you watch, 410 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: all the stuff that you search for, all the stuff 411 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: that you view, and you can decide to keep that 412 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: stuff for three months, eighteen months, or until you delete it. 413 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: So that's a new option, is well, and uh, that's 414 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: a pretty good option, I guess. I mean, if you 415 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: don't want a record of all the stuff that you're 416 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, you can just auto delete after three months. Now, 417 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: this is really interesting. If you have one of these 418 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: Google Home devices, there is a new way to control 419 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: your data right from the Google Assistance. You can now 420 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: ask Google. You can say, hey, you know who, delete 421 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: the last thing I said to you? And then hey, 422 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: you know who delete everything I said to you last week. 423 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: I think this is really cool, and this is something 424 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: that we've been asking for as tech folks, because it 425 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: just makes sense that you would be able to ask 426 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: Google just as easily as you ask Google a question, 427 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: ask Google to delete what you just ask Google. Now, 428 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: I personally think that this is the most incriminating thing 429 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: in the world. If you ask Google a question, then 430 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 1: you say, hey, Google, oh sorry, I just said the words. 431 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: But if you say that and then you say, hey, 432 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: can you delete what I just asked you? I mean, 433 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: come on, if I was the authority, that's the first 434 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: thing I'd want to know, Hey, did this person ask 435 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: to delete anything on Google? But maybe it's truly deleted forever. 436 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. 437 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: I would assume there's some sort of record on the 438 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: Google servers that you asked to delete your stuff, but 439 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: I don't know. 440 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: I can't be sure on that one. 441 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: So if you asked to delete more than a week's 442 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: worth of data from your account, the assistant will tell 443 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: you how to do that in your settings. And this 444 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: is rolling out next week, So that's next week, and 445 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: then all other languages next month, so you can't do 446 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: this just yet. And rolling out means that it doesn't 447 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: happen overnight. It means that it will take a while. 448 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: And I've got a question on Facebook from Connie. She says, 449 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: is the YouTube history auto delete only on Android? Will 450 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: that be on iOS? I believe it's on both. It 451 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: doesn't say I would think that's on both. I tried 452 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: it on my Android, I believe, and it was there already, 453 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: so that one was already there. And then the other 454 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: thing they do is they have a security checkup which 455 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: will automatically detect potential security issues with their Google account. Okay, 456 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: let's see. Yeah, that's okay, security checkup. I feel like 457 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: that's good to do. And what they're saying is that 458 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: if you have logged into a bunch of Google devices 459 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: over the years, you can now easily you can now 460 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: easily get rid of those old devices by doing this 461 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: security checkup. And then they have a password checkup as well, 462 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: which is going to help you figure out if your 463 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: passwords are reused or compromised. The problem is to use 464 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: that feature, you have to use Google's password manager. And 465 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: it's fine if you only use Google products to use 466 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: Google's password manager, but personally I would use a third 467 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: party password manager like last pass or dash Lane. Those 468 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: are probably two of my favorite. If you're all Apple, 469 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: you can use the one that's built into Apple. But 470 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: the problem with using all these things that are built 471 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: in is that now you're locked into their ecosystem, and 472 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: if you want to switch from Google to Apple, Apple 473 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: to Google, it makes things a lot more complicated. So 474 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: when possible, and this is in general, I always try 475 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: to use a third party app. Like for my notes, 476 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: I use Evernotes, and it's just better than using the 477 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: built in notes app on iOS and iPhone and Mac, 478 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: because if I ever want to change things up, I 479 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: have to export all my notes from Apple Notes into 480 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: something else. So Ever, Note works across platforms, and it's 481 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: the same reason why I use Apple Maps. It's the 482 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: same reason why I Message really bugs me because it 483 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: locks you into iPhone in. 484 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 2: A very big way. 485 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: In fact, I've actually been testing out Verizon Messages to 486 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: see if I can use because Verizon Messages lets you 487 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: see your messages on various phones, your texts. The problem 488 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: is you can't use I Message, and I Messages is 489 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: really really good. Hector writes in on my website, rich 490 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: on tech dot TV, Hey, I'm wondering what the best 491 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: photo and video editor other than the Photoshop is in 492 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: either free download or purchase for a modest price to 493 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: use here and there. So this is a great question 494 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: because this is what I use all the time. I mean, 495 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm always editing. I don't edit my picture so much. 496 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll pop a filter on them, but most of 497 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: the time I am editing video on my computer and 498 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: also my phone. 499 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 2: So when it comes to. 500 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: The best photo editor, I would say an app called 501 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: pixel Mater is a really good one. It's very high powered, 502 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: has a lot of features that I don't really understand, 503 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: but it's a great program. I think I paid five 504 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: five or six dollars for it pixel Mater Pro, and 505 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: they do have it for iOS on your phone, so 506 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: you can get that for your phone, and it's a 507 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, it does everything you need. It does all 508 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: kinds of like photo editing, this and that. 509 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 2: That's too much for me. 510 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to do all that kind of stuff, 511 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: but I do something called snapseed, which is a lot easier. 512 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: And Snapseed is just a program that lets you do 513 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: very I mean, it's very powerful. It's owned by Google actually, 514 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: but for me, it's just I love the filters on there, 515 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: and I love kind of the different little things you 516 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: can do on there, Like if you have a little 517 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: you know, let's say you take a picture and you 518 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: got some something stuck in your teeth, you can just 519 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: kind of smudge that out with a very simple flick 520 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: of the finger on your screen using that app. So 521 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: snapseed is really great. If you're kind of sick of 522 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: all the filters on Instagram, check that one out. 523 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: The other one. 524 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: People like is Visco Vsco. That's another photo editing app. 525 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: I personally don't use it, but a lot of people 526 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: like to use it. It's also a sharing platform. You 527 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: can do that. And you did say video editor, So 528 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: I'll give you a couple of recommendations for video editors. 529 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: I really like a video editor called Adobe Premiere or 530 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: Adobe Rush. Is it Premiere Rush or is it just Rush? Yeah, 531 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: Adobe Premiere Rush. Now that's ten dollars a month, but 532 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: it is the best mobile video editor for both iOS 533 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: and Android. 534 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 2: Check that out. If you're on are you on an iPhone? 535 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: I can't tell, So. 536 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: If you're on an iPhone, iMovie's pretty good. But I 537 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: person like the other one much better, So I would 538 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: I would use the Adobe Rush and then the other. 539 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: The other one I like is Infinite Stories. If you're 540 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: just trying to do stuff for Instagram, check out Infinite Stories. 541 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: That's a that's a pretty cool program as well. So Hector, 542 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: thanks for the question nine five one? You are on 543 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: with rich?

What's on your mind? 550 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 5: Well? I was just wondering which phone is better, Sampson 551 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 5: J seven or the iPhone. 552 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 3: On seven class Samsung J seven. 553 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: Let's see, I'm looking this up right now to see 554 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: what the the Usually the J lines are kind of 555 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: Samsung's entry level devices. They sell them at a lower cost. 556 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: They don't they don't have all the high end features 557 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: as their Galaxy s you know, S line or their 558 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: Note line. And then the other one. 559 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 5: I have both both phones right now and I'm just 560 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 5: trying to figure out which one to go with. And 561 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 5: I'm still I can. 562 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: If I had to choose between these two phones, the 563 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: iPhone seven or the Samsung J seven, I personally would 564 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: go with the iPhone. And I'll tell you why, Number one, Uh, 565 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: you get a better operating system on it, because it's 566 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: going to be newer, more up to date. You get, 567 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: you know, because you can run iOS thirteen on it, 568 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: and you get better apps, and it's going to be faster, 569 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: it's going to have a better camera, and basically everything 570 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: about the iPhone is going to be better than this 571 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: J seven. I'm looking at the uh. 572 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: The screen. 573 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: It's got a five point five inch super ammal ads. 574 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: That's fine, it's unlocked. It's got expandable memory. So the 575 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: only thing going for I think is the expandable memory. 576 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: But otherwise, the you know, the rest of the specs 577 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: are not going to be as good as the iPhone. 578 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: It's it's decent, and I'm looking at the specs here. 579 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: It's it's okay, but I don't think it's going to 580 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: be as good and as long lasting as the iPhone. 581 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,239 Speaker 1: So that would be my recommendation. Let's see what kind 582 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: of Android it's running. Do you know which version of 583 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: Android it's running? It doesn't even say. 584 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 5: No, I don't. 585 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, And the thing about it just it doesn't even 586 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: say what version of Android it's using, but it's Samsung 587 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: is notorious for taking a really long time to upgrade 588 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: the Android operating system on their devices. So you're going 589 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: to be running an older version of Android versus the iPhone. 590 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: You said it's a seven plus. Yeah, so you got 591 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: a nice big screen. I think that's the way to go. 592 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 1: I would I would definitely go with that phone. 593 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: Is that is that help? 594 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 5: Yes to go? 595 00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 596 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 5: I've been watching on Channel five TV for a long 597 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 5: time and I decided I'm going to give them more 598 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 5: callumn see which one he would recommend. 599 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate it. 600 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: And I you know, if you said, if you said 601 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: the Note ten versus the iPhone eleven, I'd have to 602 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, I'd have some more debate there. But when 603 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: it comes to these two phones, I think, in my mind, 604 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: the iPhone seven plus is going to be a stronger 605 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: contender for. 606 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: For it's just everyday use. 607 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be just easier and better 608 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: and you're going to get more for your for your 609 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: money out of that phone than you are the J seven. 610 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 3: So Robbie, good question, Thanks so much for calling. 611 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: You appreciate it.

I have an 619 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 6: iMac two thousand and eight and I'm looking to upgrade it. 620 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 6: But I was wondering, when I buy the new iMac, 621 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 6: can I make this my old one a second screen? 622 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 6: Is that something that is available? 623 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: Prima M that's a good question. Now I know with 624 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: the new let's see here macOS Catalina. So on mac Os, 625 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: the new version of macOS Catalina, there actually is a 626 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: provision for letting another device be a secondary screen. I 627 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: know that it works with an iPad. I'm not sure 628 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: if it works with another computer. And I'm not even 629 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: sure that Catalina will run on a two thousand and 630 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: eight iMac. So let me look at the compatibility here. 631 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: Usually that is the bottom of the website. It'll tell 632 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: you iMac. 633 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 3: Let's see Ooh, okay, so. 634 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: Catalina is not gonna run on your computer, which is 635 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: an iMac twenty twelve and later. So if you're talking 636 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, which is what you said, right, 637 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to run the operating system 638 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: on there. Now, that does not mean that you can't 639 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: use it as a secondary There are lots of programs 640 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: out there that will turn a display into a secondary screen, 641 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: So you need like usually a screen sharing program. Now 642 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: I know there's one called Duet, which is for Mac, 643 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: and I think the problem with Duet is that you 644 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: might need it might again work with an iPad. So 645 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: let's see turn your iOS or Android device into a 646 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: high performance secondary display for your Mac and PC. So 647 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: again that one is a Mac to a iPad. So 648 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: a lot of them that I'm seeing are Mac to iPad. 649 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: But let's see if we can find a program Mac 650 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: secondary display. Have you done any searching to see if 651 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: there's a program that you've been looking at. 652 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 6: I was trying to, like YouTube it, but I didn't 653 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 6: really find anything that allowed me to convert my whole monitor, 654 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 6: full computer into a monitor second monitor. 655 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's looking it's looking like there might 656 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: be a way to do it. It says that you 657 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: might be able to use a cable to do it, 658 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: and then there's you can use it as sort of 659 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: an external monitor, so that might work. 660 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 3: I think you'll be able to do this. It depends 661 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 3: on you get to a cable. 662 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, So what I would do is look on the 663 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: back of your device and I'm looking.

Let's see, 667 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: so use an iMac as a display with target display mode, 668 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: and it looks like you can do this. 669 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: System requirements and. 670 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 6: What happens, I'm sorry, what the two thousand and eight 671 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 6: would have. 672 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: Well, here's what I'm looking at. 673 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 6: Upgrade.

So I don't know if you're gonna be 680 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: able to do You might be able to do it 681 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: some software, but I quickly just looking don't see it. 682 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: I think where there's a will, there's a way, and 683 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: I bet there's a way to do it, and I 684 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: think there's a way, but I just can't be sure 685 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: without you know, doing some some pretty you know. 686 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 2: Heavy research. But I agree. 687 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: It's like, but here's the thing, I mean, you can 688 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of other ways you can 689 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: repurpose this device. 690 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 2: I mean, you can make it display pictures. 691 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: You can use it as a home server, you know, 692 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: if you want to back up all your stuff to it, 693 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. 694 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 2: You can do that. 695 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: You can give it to a friend or you know, 696 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: a family member, which is always what I usually do 697 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: with my computers. So I think that there's a lot 698 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: and I you know that unless you do you work 699 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: from home at all? 700 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 5: Yes, I do. 701 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: Oh you do, okay, So it would be nice to 702 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: have that secondary monitor. 703 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 5: Huh yeah. 704 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: Interesting. 705 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: Well, I think I think you do a little bit 706 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: of research. But it seems like the first thing you 707 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: need to do is look at the back of your 708 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: iMac and and see what kind of inputs and outputs 709 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: you have, you know, so I think I think that's 710 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: going to determine if you have I'm just kind of 711 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: looking on Google images right now to see what's what's 712 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: on the back, so. 713 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 6: You know, it has like some USBs, it's I mean, 714 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 6: it's really all as yeah, the new newer computers have. 715 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: I think it just but it looks like it's got 716 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: like a fire a FireWire mini DisplayPort. I think you're 717 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: gonna be able to do it. I would I would 718 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: do some searching and look online and see. But it 719 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: looks like you can do it. The only thing is 720 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: it may just be that if you're you may need 721 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: an adapter and a cable. But you know, I'm looking 722 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: at these things and it seems like it's not that 723 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: far off. I just I'm a little bit concerned because 724 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: the official Apple website says that it needs to be 725 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: a two thousand and nine and above. So that's what 726 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: concerns me is maybe they just don't have the support 727 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: for the older ones. I'm gonna look up one more program. 728 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,760 Speaker 1: There's a program called Reflector that is a great program 729 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: that I've used, and that might actually that is only 730 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: it looks like it's only screen mirroring, and it doesn't 731 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: look like, yeah, it looks like it's. 732 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 2: Only mainly for screen mirroring. 733 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: And but look at that. Look at that app as 734 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: well from air Squirrels. It's called Reflector. So good question, 735 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: thanks for calling it. Recommend start, I would recommend not going. 736 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 2: Let's see there there. 737 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: I think the iMac has like a the least expensive one, 738 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: and I think that that's the one you don't want 739 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: because I believe. 740 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: That there's not a retina display. 741 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 3: Let me check the uh specs on this thing. 742 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, let's see. 743 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So the cheapest one is one ninety nine dollars 744 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: and it is not a retina display, so do not 745 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: get that one. Just I know. The next one is 746 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: twelve hundred and ninety nine dollars. This went kind of 747 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: what I was saying earlier. Don't be fooled by the 748 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: cheapest Apple product because a lot of times they get 749 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: that price there just to get you in, and in reality, 750 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: you spend the two hundred extra dollars and you're gonna 751 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: get so much more for your money. So for twelve 752 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: hundred dollars, for thirteen hundred versus eleven hundred, you're gonna 753 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: get a retina display, which is a four K display, 754 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: which is so much better than the display on the 755 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 1: lesser computer. So that's the one I'd recommend, is a 756 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred dollars one. Now, if you're gonna keep this 757 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: thing for a long time, you work from home, you 758 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: make money using this computer, I would go for the 759 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: best system that you can afford because these things will 760 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: last a while. You've had your last one for ten years, 761 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: eleven years now, So do the math, and I think 762 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: that it could be. 763 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 6: A good value sound good. Thank you so much for 764 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 6: your help. 765 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: All right, thanks for call and appreciate the call. You 766 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: guys said me. A lot of questions, that is for sure. 767 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: I get questions on Facebook, Facebook, dot Com, slash rich 768 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: on tech, I get questions on my Instagram. You guys 769 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: love to DM me, and yes, I don't check those 770 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: every day, but I do right back usually once a 771 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: week to those. 772 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 2: So the thing is, if you need. 773 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: Something answered, Email's probably the fastest, but you have to understand, 774 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: I'm doing my job. I'm trying to you know, I'm 775 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: trying to prioritize what needs to be answered. So if 776 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 1: it's an easy answer, something that I can quickly write 777 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: you back, you'll get an answer quickly. But if it's 778 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: something I to do a little more research for and 779 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: kind of investigate, it'll take a little bit longer. Let 780 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: me tell you about my book while I have you here. 781 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: I know it's backwards on the Facebook page, but this 782 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: is it. The first copy of my book is in. 783 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: It's called one hundred and one iPhone Tips and Tricks. 784 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 1: It is updated for iOS thirteen, and it looks fantastic. 785 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,760 Speaker 1: It is so much better than the last book, looks 786 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: wise the last book had great information. This one's a 787 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: lot thinner because I I kind of condensed the tips, 788 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: I made them simpler, I made them easier to follow, 789 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: and I also was a little eco friendly when it 790 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: came to the actual formatting inside, so chapters can start 791 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: on left or right of the book. So I know 792 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: it's something that it's not really something you'll notice, but 793 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: it's something that I noticed when I created the book. 794 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: So one hundred and one iPhone Tips and Tricks available 795 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: right now on Amazon as a paperback. This is going 796 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: to be the gift to get this holiday season, or 797 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: to give, I should say. And if you want to 798 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: read it yourself, you can read it for free on Amazon. 799 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 1: I put it in the Kindle Unlimited program, which means 800 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: you can read it totally for free. It's kind of 801 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: like a loan. You do have to sign up for 802 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: Kindle Unlimited, but the good news is they give you 803 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: two months for free. So if you sign up for 804 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: Kindle Unlimited, you read the book, it's not going to 805 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: take you more than two months to read it. You 806 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 1: just don't get to keep it at the end of 807 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 1: that time, so it is kind of alone. If you 808 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: want to buy the ebook. You can do that too. 809 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: And I do get a lot of questions people ask 810 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: if if they don't have a Kindle, how do they 811 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 1: read it Kindle book. Well, you can download the Kindle 812 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: app to any device.

But personally, my thing is read the 815 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: Kindle version yourself and then gift the paperback to someone 816 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: this holiday season.
