Speaker 1: My thoughts on the iPhone se after going hands on,
Speaker 1: Voodoo is acquired by Fandango, Nintendo tells you to turn
Speaker 1: on two factor authentication and much more.
Speaker 2: What's going on.
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Dmiro and this is Rich on Tech, the
Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think
Speaker 1: you should know about, and I also answer the questions
Speaker 1: that you send me, and believe me, you send a
Speaker 1: lot of them. My name is Rich Demiro, tech reporter
Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles, Staying safe at
Speaker 1: Home this week this is going to be an episode
Speaker 1: with your live calls, so I have this broadcasting live
Speaker 1: on Facebook. I've got the phone number ready to go.
Speaker 1: You can call in with your tech questions at five
Speaker 1: one six three eight seven thirteen twenty six. Again five
Speaker 1: one six three eight seven thirteen twenty six. If you're
Speaker 1: listening on the podcast, you pray play on your phone.
Speaker 1: That means you can't call in because it's been pre recorded.
Speaker 1: But for everyone else watching right now live on Facebook,
Speaker 1: you can call in with your tech questions, and I
Speaker 1: hope that you do. Let's get to the big story
Speaker 1: of the week. The iPhone S has launched. Apple sent
Speaker 1: me one to test out and I will tell you
Speaker 1: Apple really did a nice job with this device, because
Speaker 1: here's the thing they did that they didn't have to do,
Speaker 1: but they did, and it makes a world of difference.
Speaker 1: It makes a difference between me actually recommending this device
Speaker 1: and not recommending it. And at this point, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: much going to recommend this device to anyone who wants
Speaker 1: a phone at a good price. And you know, pictures
Speaker 1: are probably not the most important thing to them. They're important,
Speaker 1: but they just want an iPhone and they want a
Speaker 1: good smartphone in general. This is this actually goes past
Speaker 1: just the iPhone. This is probably the best four hundred
Speaker 1: dollars phone you can get at this point, because because
Speaker 1: even when it comes to Android phones, when you look
Speaker 1: at four hundred dollars Android phones, the closest comparison I
Speaker 1: have is the is the Pixel three A, which is
Speaker 1: about that price. But the problem is, even when they
Speaker 1: come out with the fur A, which is their cheaper
Speaker 1: version of the Pixel, it's still not going to be
Speaker 1: as good as this device because you're getting an iPhone.
Speaker 1: And when you have an iPhone, what do you have?
Speaker 1: You have the best access to the best apps, the
Speaker 1: best accessories, the best other Apple products, so you can
Speaker 1: do things like finally get an Apple Watch. And it's
Speaker 1: a lot of little things that add up to this
Speaker 1: being a really good deal at four hundred dollars. So
Speaker 1: I have the phone in my hand, I've been playing
Speaker 1: with it, and it's a smaller device.
Speaker 2: It only has one camera.
Speaker 1: And in my story on KTLA today, I explain kind
Speaker 1: of all the differences, the things that you're getting, the
Speaker 1: things that you're not getting, and I kind of went
Speaker 1: through that in the last podcast as well. But the
Speaker 1: reality is this is a fantastic device.
Speaker 2: It's small, The screen is.
Speaker 1: Smaller than we're used to on a lot of these
Speaker 1: big screen phones, especially on the Android side of things.
Speaker 1: But overall, I can't say enough good things about this device.
Speaker 1: It has the latest processor that Apple has, which means
Speaker 1: this phone is going to last you three years minimum.
Speaker 1: You can use this phone for four hundred dollars for
Speaker 1: the next three years, and by the way, it's going
Speaker 1: to get Apple's software updates for that time, which is
Speaker 1: a huge deal. You buy a Samsung, you buy another
Speaker 1: device you don't know when your next software update is coming.
Speaker 1: Besides the Pixel, So I love the Pixel and I
Speaker 1: love OnePlus those are the two brands that I think
Speaker 1: are really very compelling when it comes to Android devices.
Speaker 1: But with that said, you still don't have the range
Speaker 1: of accessories that you get when it comes to an
Speaker 1: Apple device. And you can call me an Apple lover,
Speaker 1: you can call me Apple fanboy. I am not believe me.
Speaker 1: I love Android. I actually love the Android operating system.
Speaker 1: The architecture of that system I love. In fact, I
Speaker 1: think it's more flexible. But I will say in recent years,
Speaker 1: Apple has really done a good job of integrating things
Speaker 1: in almost a better way than Android does. And I
Speaker 1: just think that this phone at four hundred dollars is
Speaker 1: a fantastic device, and I can't imagine not recommending it
Speaker 1: to folks.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the bottom line.
Speaker 1: You don't get the wide angle camera, you know, you
Speaker 1: get wireless charging, you don't get a headphone jack, but
Speaker 1: no phone has a headphone jack. You get good battery life,
Speaker 1: you get I think it really comes down to that processor.
Speaker 1: The fact that you can get the latest processor on
Speaker 1: this device, to me, is probably the best thing about it.
Speaker 1: So iPhone S is a winner in my book. And
Speaker 1: let's see, can I hear this?
Speaker 3: I do that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go. iPhone se is a winner in
Speaker 1: my book, and I think that Apple when they come
Speaker 1: out with their earnings, mark my words, they will sell
Speaker 1: so many of these devices it is not even funny.
Speaker 2: It's going to eclipse what they sold.
Speaker 1: When it comes to regular iPhones, for sure, iPhone eleven,
Speaker 1: it's going to sell more than those because there's so
Speaker 1: many people out there that pent up demand for an
Speaker 1: inexpensive iPhone is there. And believe me, this hits it.
Speaker 1: Phone lines are open five one, six, three, eight, seven,
Speaker 1: thirteen twenty six. We've got nine five one on the line.
Speaker 2: Who am I speaking with?
Speaker 1: Hello?
Speaker 4: This is Carolyn.
Speaker 2: Carolyn. How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm doing pretty good?
Speaker 2: Good? What's on your mind?
Speaker 4: Well? I have a I don't know whether you deal
Speaker 4: with tech questions with Facebook?
Speaker 1: Oh of course I love Facebook.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I have my Facebook account. It has three
Speaker 4: names attached to it. I mean, you know, I have
Speaker 4: a first name, a maid name, and my last name. Okay, okay.
Speaker 4: Sometimes at one point I opened it under Safari on
Speaker 4: an iPhone and now it's just my first name and
Speaker 4: my last name. But I cannot put it onto a
Speaker 4: new I cannot put I cannot get the app to
Speaker 4: work on a new phone. So you've got a new
Speaker 4: iPhone because it somebody has taken over me or something.
Speaker 4: And Facebook does not answer questions.
Speaker 2: No, they do not.
Speaker 1: Good luck. I get a lot of emails from people
Speaker 1: who so I just can't access that Facebook.
Speaker 4: Account, yah phone number in the password I put in
Speaker 4: the email and the password and nothing is worth it.
Speaker 1: So what happens when you do when you try to
Speaker 1: do a password recover? What happens when you type in
Speaker 1: your email address and you say I forgot my password?
Speaker 2: What? What does Facebook tell you?
Speaker 4: Well, at one point I tried that about a month ago,
Speaker 4: and it, uh, I just changed the.
Speaker 2: Password, sure, and what happens? You can't get in?
Speaker 4: And but I just got a new phone and I'm
Speaker 4: trying to put it in get the app of the
Speaker 4: Facebook app to work, and it doesn't work. Now this
Speaker 4: is a spare phone for me, so I already haven't
Speaker 4: set up on my main phone, right right, So you
Speaker 4: do have to put it on the spare So.
Speaker 1: You have access to your Facebook on one in one place,
Speaker 1: but you want to get it in the other place
Speaker 1: and you can't seem to do that.
Speaker 4: Why have access on it on a iPad right, an iPhone, okay,
Speaker 4: and then I want to put it onto an iPhone right, Well.
Speaker 1: You should you should be able to do that for sure.
Speaker 1: Well okay, so here's here's what I would recommend doing.
Speaker 1: And it could be a little dicey because if you
Speaker 1: can't get access to your account, you could be locked
Speaker 1: out of all these devices. But what I would say
Speaker 1: is what you need to do is go to your
Speaker 1: desktop computer. Okay, go to Facebook and I would go
Speaker 1: in there and I would make sure like log out
Speaker 1: and then say, forgot my password, and then I would
Speaker 1: reset my password. They're going to send you an email
Speaker 1: to your email account. You're going to come up with
Speaker 1: a new password. Write that password down. Now, go to
Speaker 1: the other devices. Log out of Facebook. Once you're you know,
Speaker 1: into the other one, You've everything's worked out, and then
Speaker 1: I would go log into those two devices, and I
Speaker 1: think that's going to fix everything. The only issue is
Speaker 1: if there is some sort of problem or issue with
Speaker 1: your account and you get logged out, locked out, you
Speaker 1: may not be able to get into any of your accounts.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like you don't have any issues with account.
Speaker 1: It's just more of a every nothing's in sync right now,
Speaker 1: And it might be that you just need to kind
Speaker 1: of reset your password, like log out of everything, reset
Speaker 1: your password and get back in.
Speaker 2: That's what I would say. Does that sound like something
Speaker 2: you want to try?
Speaker 1: I will try that out, all right, Carolyn.
Speaker 2: Let me know if that works. Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 2: I want to hear.
Speaker 1: I want to hear because much because we need our
Speaker 1: Facebook especially right now. How would you be watching me
Speaker 1: if you didn't have Facebook? Right right?
Speaker 4: I just pat down to take a break in. You're
Speaker 4: here and I went watch your show every morning, well
Speaker 4: whenever you're on on channel five.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, thanks for finding me here. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of fun. Right What else?
Speaker 2: What else am I going to do on a Friday afternoon?
Speaker 4: But thank you very much?
Speaker 2: All right, Carolyn, take care all right?
Speaker 1: Phone lines are open area code five one six three
Speaker 1: eight seven thirteen twenty six five six, three eight seven
Speaker 1: thirteen twenty six. Let's see what's the other big story
Speaker 1: of the week.
Speaker 2: HBO Max.
Speaker 1: You guys ready for another streaming service. HBO Max says
Speaker 1: that they are going to launch on May twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: and HBO Max is another streaming service from kind of Time, Warner,
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers, whatever the companies are called. There's so many
Speaker 1: companies that have merged these days. But it's I guess
Speaker 1: Warner Media, which I think is owned by AT and
Speaker 1: T if I'm not mistaken. So this is WarnerMedia, which
Speaker 1: is HBO. And let me tell you the brands that
Speaker 1: they're in here. So ten thousand hours of premium content, okay,
Speaker 1: including new stuff. So some of the brands that are
Speaker 1: in this lineup include HBO, Warner Brothers, TNT, TBS, True TV, CNN, DC,
Speaker 1: New Line, Cinema, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Under Classic Movies,
Speaker 1: and others. And yes, WarnerMedia is a part of AT
Speaker 1: and T. So this is going to cost fifteen dollars
Speaker 1: a month when it launches, and you're gonna have ten
Speaker 1: thousand hours of content and all kinds of stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: they have a lot of original things. They have friends.
Speaker 1: Obviously that's gonna be a big one because you can
Speaker 1: watch that West World, Big Little Lies, All the HBO
Speaker 1: stuff is going to be on there, Big Bang Theory,
Speaker 1: The Bachelor, Sesame Street, The Bachelor, who wants to rewatch
Speaker 1: that after its air? And I don't know, not me,
Speaker 1: The OC Gossip Girl, Crazy Rich Asians, A Star is Born, Aquaman, Joker,
Speaker 1: seven hundred Blood, two thousand movies in the first year.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a lot of stuff. Then they
Speaker 1: have some classic things like let's see what I just see, Casablanca,
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz, The Matrix, the Goonies, Lego movies. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is a lot. But it's again, it's
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars a month. So are you willing to spend
Speaker 1: another fifteen bucks a month? I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but I did tweet recently all the streaming services that
Speaker 1: I subscribe to, and it's kind of a lot. The
Speaker 1: bills are kind of I looked at my credit card
Speaker 1: today and it's literally everything on there is a streaming service, Hulu,
Speaker 1: Hbo Go. What else do we have? YouTube? We've got Netflix,
Speaker 1: We've got I mean, all these little things add up. Now,
Speaker 1: they're not adding up to that much, but it's still
Speaker 1: a lot when you do fifteen bucks a month, seven
Speaker 1: dollars a month, seventeen dollars a month.
Speaker 2: I just did.
Speaker 1: Hulu that was twelve bucks a month for the commercial
Speaker 1: free one. So my question is, are you willing to
Speaker 1: pay another fifteen dollars a month for another streaming service.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It seems like they have a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff.
Speaker 1: And I think what's gonna work here is that you
Speaker 1: have so many people that are already subscribed to HBO
Speaker 1: that I think HBO Max will be a natural progression
Speaker 1: for them because they can just go and put that
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars towards her, and HBO has a lot of customers.
Speaker 1: So we'll see HBO Max again. Launches May twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: which can't come fast enough in these COVID times Area
Speaker 1: code seven six zero. You are on with Rich. Who
Speaker 1: am I speaking with? Seven six zero?
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich? Hello?
Speaker 1: Do we have you? Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I might have to go to the next person. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go to nine oh nine. You're on with Rich.
Speaker 1: Nine oh nine. You're on with Rich.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hey Rich, this is Sam from Pomona.
Speaker 2: Hey, Sam, wouldn't be a show without you, my friend.
Speaker 2: How you doing?
Speaker 3: That's true? Trying to stay cool?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is uh, this is actually I think
Speaker 1: the air conditioning kicked on in my little room here,
Speaker 1: but it's it's it's wild. We went for I actually
Speaker 1: went for a run today and it was. I think
Speaker 1: I got double the workout because I did that.
Speaker 2: How are you doing? How's Pomona?
Speaker 1: I remember going to the Pomona What is it the
Speaker 1: Pomona Racetrack. What's the thing? The Pomona Fairgrounds?
Speaker 3: Yeah, La County fair Grounds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember going to that many years ago and
Speaker 1: it was very hot.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they always have it in September and it's
Speaker 3: the hottest time of the year.
Speaker 1: Yes, Why is that in La September October always the
Speaker 1: hottest part of the year.
Speaker 2: What's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: Anything anyway?
Speaker 3: Yeah? About a year or so ago, I got a
Speaker 3: deal on one of these Google wi fis, you know,
Speaker 3: the three pack.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I walked into a best Buy and the guy, the salesman,
Speaker 3: looks at me and goes, hey, you want to buy
Speaker 3: one of these for one hundred and nineteen dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Evidently somebody online, some big company mispriced it. So I said, hey,
Speaker 3: for one hundred nineteen dollars for three pack, I'll buy it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: That brought us a great price up. The problem was
Speaker 3: is that all my two point four gigahertz stuff wouldn't connect.
Speaker 3: The five point six stuff worked great, so I called Google,
Speaker 3: and they really didn't have an answer. They gave me
Speaker 3: some bs you know, well, you know, go a far
Speaker 3: away distance and maybe it'll hook up, and it never did.
Speaker 3: So that's been sitting in a box in my house,
Speaker 3: and I was wondering, do you know if they've ever
Speaker 3: fixed that problem?
Speaker 2: Now? Is this the original or is this the new one?
Speaker 2: Is Google?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Is the original?
Speaker 2: So it's the original. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm looking up my Nest Wi Fi information because they
Speaker 1: did change it to Nest Now it's called Nest Wi Fi, right,
Speaker 1: and so it's a little bit different than the original.
Speaker 1: I'm looking up my my press information I got from
Speaker 1: from Google about the Nest Wi Fi. Let's see Nest
Speaker 1: Wi Fi tech specs. This is the stuff that you're
Speaker 1: really you know, if you're really feeling lonely on a
Speaker 1: Friday night, you can jump into all right, let's see.
Speaker 1: So Nest Wi Fi router yep, it now has five
Speaker 1: gigahertz and two point four simultaneous dual band.
Speaker 2: So that is the answer.
Speaker 1: Oh well then what's I mean? So then why didn't connect?
Speaker 3: Well that was my question. I have a bunch of
Speaker 3: IP cameras here that are all two point four. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I'm not going to go out and rebuy those,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the IP cameras, I've gotten a lot of I've
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions about that because I remember
Speaker 1: when the little Wise camera came out. It was I
Speaker 1: think on two point four, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: were telling me it wasn't working with their system.
Speaker 2: I don't know why that is.
Speaker 1: I don't I think on an ideal world, you'd be
Speaker 1: able to choose which Wi Fi signal it kind of
Speaker 1: attached itself to. But in you know, I know, on
Speaker 1: Android phones when they give you some of that functionality,
Speaker 1: you can, but I know that some of these smaller
Speaker 1: IP devices just don't let you do it, you know,
Speaker 1: some of the lesser expensive devices.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: It does support both, but I think that the problem
Speaker 1: is that it's putting out both those signals, but you
Speaker 1: can't choose on that device which signal you want to
Speaker 1: latch onto. I think that is the problem.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: You would think in the settings on that device you
Speaker 1: would say, hey, I only want to go to the
Speaker 1: two point four setting, But I don't know. It's it's
Speaker 1: kind of a mystery, but that's unfortunate. So you've never
Speaker 1: you bought the one hundred and twenty dollars thing, but you
Speaker 1: never were able to use it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I have a Netgear night Hawk and an extender,
Speaker 3: and my house isn't that big, so I get pretty
Speaker 3: good coverage with what I've got. But I've noticed though
Speaker 3: that you know, they went from a two band to
Speaker 3: a three band. Is there any big advantage to going
Speaker 3: to a three band at this point?
Speaker 2: What's the third band?
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think when they I think the the if
Speaker 1: it says try band, I think of that means, is
Speaker 1: that that's what it's using to communicate Because I know
Speaker 1: these little mesh systems use like a tryband system to
Speaker 1: communicate to each other, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I honestly don't know on that one.
Speaker 1: So it just sounds better, right, I mean, tryband sounds
Speaker 1: better than dual band, so anything that's more is better,
Speaker 1: I guess so, Sam, I think one of these days,
Speaker 1: one of these days will solve all your Wi Fi woes,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if that day is today.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, thanks and stay cool.
Speaker 2: All right, Sam? Stay cool, Sam and Pomona.
Speaker 1: I feel like we need like a music for Sam
Speaker 1: ifmoona Okay, I would give out the phone number again,
Speaker 1: but we have so many calls, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I need to. So my plan with this podcast is
Speaker 1: to usually do a story and then that's you know,
Speaker 1: the regular format is where I do a story and
Speaker 1: then I do a question from a listener. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of the format. I'm going to continue on here
Speaker 1: because I just, you know, think that's a good one.
Speaker 1: All right, So I thought this was interesting. This week,
Speaker 1: Samsung announced that they are offering free repairs of their
Speaker 1: devices for first responders and healthcare professionals. And I think
Speaker 1: this is really really important because if you are a doctor,
Speaker 1: a nurse, firefighter, and I'll go through the list of
Speaker 1: everyone who's affected, you can bring your Samsung device into
Speaker 1: a store and get it fixed. Crackscreen, dead, battery, batteries
Speaker 1: not lasting very long. Take advantage of this program. It's
Speaker 1: called free Repairs for the Frontline. And what they're doing
Speaker 1: is they're partnering with you Break I Fix And if
Speaker 1: you have a s Msung device it's got a crackscreen
Speaker 1: or a battery replacement, needs a battery replacement, go into
Speaker 1: the store by June thirtieth and you can get it
Speaker 1: done for free.
Speaker 2: Here's who qualifies.
Speaker 1: Doctors, nurses, hospital workers, EMTs, police officers, firefighters with valid
Speaker 1: ID eligible for one free repair of their Samsung smartphone.
Speaker 3: Do this.
Speaker 1: Tell your friends that are a healthcare responder to do
Speaker 1: this because this is a this is a big deal.
Speaker 1: This could be a fifty dollars one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: dollars fix for free, and it's at a limited time only.
Speaker 1: So if you're saying, rich, are you crazy, I'm not
Speaker 1: going into a store right now, Well, you can mail
Speaker 1: it in as well. So if you feel better mailing
Speaker 1: it in, you can do that. But the problem with
Speaker 1: mailing in a phone is like, let's be honest, you're
Speaker 1: not going to have your phone for a while, so personally,
Speaker 1: I'd rather just bring it in there, wear a mask
Speaker 1: and you break eye. Fix is open, it says, and
Speaker 1: they are taking the proper precautions to make sure everything
Speaker 1: is okay. All right, Phone lines are open. Area code
Speaker 1: five one, six, three, eight, seven, thirteen, twenty six nine.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try again, nine four nine.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 3: Hello, Rick? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: This is Jimmy, Jimmy, how you doing.
Speaker 3: I'm doing well, I'm doing well.
Speaker 5: How about yourself.
Speaker 2: I am fantastic. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 5: Okay, I got a question for you. I find myself
Speaker 5: often on my iPad in my bedroom and I'd like
Speaker 5: to know if there's a way to mirror what's on
Speaker 5: my on my iPad to my fire TV.
Speaker 1: Ooh okay, uh Fire TV and iPad. So you know
Speaker 1: that the fire TV is Amazon and the iPad is Apple,
Speaker 1: So if you're talking about.
Speaker 2: There's there's two things you can do.
Speaker 1: So sometimes apps have the ability built in to mirror
Speaker 1: the screen, you know, like if Netflix you can cast
Speaker 1: it what they.
Speaker 2: Call it, to the TV.
Speaker 1: But overall when it comes to just like a blanket mirroring,
Speaker 1: you would have to have an Apple TV for that.
Speaker 1: As far as I know now, there may be a
Speaker 1: program that does something similar. There used to be one
Speaker 1: I had a long time ago that would that would
Speaker 1: kind of do this, but I I see I think
Speaker 1: it was called all Cast. Let me see if that's
Speaker 1: still around. It looks like it's around. It says send
Speaker 1: videos and photos to your TV, So this may this
Speaker 1: may be a solution. You can try that, but the
Speaker 1: problem is if you're looking at casting your screen specifically,
Speaker 1: usually that is an Apple specific thing that you need
Speaker 1: to get. So, are you trying to cast something on
Speaker 1: your screen? Yes, yeah, that's so if it's not inside
Speaker 1: a specific app, then I would probably say you're going
Speaker 1: to need an Apple TV to do that.
Speaker 2: That's as far as I know.
Speaker 1: But if you want to try something like all Cast,
Speaker 1: you can check that out and see. But I don't
Speaker 1: think it can do your screen because that is a
Speaker 1: Apple specific thing because it needs access to your screen
Speaker 1: and it's you know, but if you have an iPhone
Speaker 1: or an iPad and an Apple TV, it's really easy.
Speaker 2: It's just you already have your Fire TV. I doubt
Speaker 2: you want to.
Speaker 1: Get a new device just to do this solution. But again,
Speaker 1: inside regular apps, it does. It does work a lot
Speaker 1: of times, and I find that, you know, sometimes it's
Speaker 1: very confusing because I have a Chrome Cast and a
Speaker 1: Fire TV on my TV in the bedroom, and I
Speaker 1: never know which one I'm going to when I try.
Speaker 2: To like cast something from my phone.
Speaker 1: So you know, that's another that's that's not your problem,
Speaker 1: that's just my problem. But yeah, that's that's kind of
Speaker 1: the best thing I can think of. And I'm trying
Speaker 1: to see if there's anything there's another one. Let's see,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing all connect but I don't know if that one.
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to the mirroring, it's really
Speaker 1: going to be I think it's just built into IF
Speaker 1: into Apple, and I'm just not sure that that's gonna
Speaker 1: there's not really a way around that, you know.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, thanks a lot. I appreciate your help.
Speaker 1: All right, Jimmy, take care and thanks for calling in
Speaker 1: on this, uh this show today. I appreciate it. There
Speaker 1: you go, very cool. Phone number is five one, six, three, eight, seven,
Speaker 1: thirteen twenty six. I see you guys on hold. I
Speaker 1: got you there, and uh, I am not forgetting about you,
Speaker 1: all right. This week, Google announced that you can finally
Speaker 1: adjust the sensitivity for your Google devices. So if you
Speaker 1: have one of these Google speakers in your home, and
Speaker 1: you know this has happened to you, because it happens
Speaker 1: to me all the time Google Home, you can now
Speaker 1: adjust the sensitivity of your device, and it's in the settings,
Speaker 1: in the device settings, and you basically look for the
Speaker 1: h Google Sensitivity and you can go through and make
Speaker 1: it least sensitive, default or most sensitive. And personally, I
Speaker 1: would probably do least sensitive for some of the rooms,
Speaker 1: like maybe in my kids room, least sensitive because I
Speaker 1: don't need that one to kind of fire up when
Speaker 1: I'm talking, and maybe most sensitive for the ones I
Speaker 1: use the most, like the one in my kitchen is
Speaker 1: the one that I usually like to respond. But again,
Speaker 1: that is a new feature. It's rolling out gradually, so
Speaker 1: you might not have access to it right away. But
Speaker 1: if you go into your Google Home app and you
Speaker 1: look under device settings and let's see, is there is
Speaker 1: there like specific Yeah, it just looks like device settings,
Speaker 1: and then go into notef Hey Google, Op, I didn't
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say that. Sorry, my gosh, I
Speaker 1: did not want to say that. But if you go
Speaker 1: into there, you can you can adjust your sensitivity. And
Speaker 1: I'm just reading some of the comments on the Facebook
Speaker 1: Live about the Amazon TV thing. So Daniel says, there's
Speaker 1: an app called Mirror for Amazon fire and it says
Speaker 1: start by installing it on your fireTV. Open the app
Speaker 1: and enable it on your as a device on a receiver.
Speaker 1: Then grab your iPhone and enable airplay. Choose Fire TV
Speaker 1: from the all Play receiver Airplay receiver list, connect the devices,
Speaker 1: then pick your content on your iOS hardware and start casting.
Speaker 1: That may work, but the problem is, I think that's
Speaker 1: still just airplay. So if an app is airplay enabled,
Speaker 1: it will enable that. I think what Jimmy wanted was
Speaker 1: to be able to mirror his screen. And when you
Speaker 1: mirror your screen, you can literally just see your iPhone
Speaker 1: or you know, iPad screen right on the TV screen, which.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, but if you if you can get
Speaker 1: that going with just a third party app, that would
Speaker 1: be pretty cool. So I think, yeah, eight oh five,
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich eight oh five. This is Rich.
Speaker 1: Who am I speaking with?
Speaker 4: Hey Rich, My name is Rachel.
Speaker 2: Hey Rachel, how are you doing? Where are you calling from?
Speaker 6: I am actually calling from Woodland Hills, which is eight
Speaker 6: one eight, but I have an eight or five number,
Speaker 6: So I'm sweating out at ninety nine degree weather or
Speaker 6: something out here in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is wild today. Huh oh my gosh. It's
Speaker 1: like it went from such nice weather to crazy. So
Speaker 1: the good news is I heard that heat in sunlight
Speaker 1: kills coronavirus, so maybe maybe LA is getting disinfected right now.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not going as far as drinking
Speaker 2: any bleach.
Speaker 6: So I'll tell you that that would be nice.
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?
Speaker 4: So my question to.
Speaker 6: You is, I have a dedicated sounds on user. I
Speaker 6: have a Note eight right now, and I've actually smashed
Speaker 6: the screen like three times, and you break. I fix
Speaker 6: it fixes things. They do them fast. I use them twice.
Speaker 6: I don't want to use them a third time now.
Speaker 6: But it's because I can't get a good screen protector
Speaker 6: for this curved screen. So I'd like to move to
Speaker 6: another phone that has a flat screen with out those
Speaker 6: stupid curved edges where I cannot get a screen protector
Speaker 6: to work. They're just terrible. And it's hard to research
Speaker 6: this online because I can't find I can't figure out
Speaker 6: who someone told me the Note ten had a flat screen,
Speaker 6: though I looked again it doesn't. So it's very difficult
Speaker 6: for me to find something online when I can't go
Speaker 6: into the briding store.
Speaker 3: So I was just wondering if.
Speaker 6: You knew anything off the top of your head. I
Speaker 6: was thinking pixel, but I've had some friends say that
Speaker 6: they don't think the rules that great with hardware, so
Speaker 6: I don't know. I'm an Android person.
Speaker 1: Well what okay?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: I think the pixel is an amazing device, and it
Speaker 1: is a flat screen and it's okay. I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't fully recommend the Pixel four because it's not the
Speaker 1: best device in the world, but it does it will
Speaker 1: take amazing pictures.
Speaker 2: It really, what do you want to do on your phone?
Speaker 6: It's just the usual stuff, you know, surfing the web,
Speaker 6: using my apps for social media, taking pictures. I'm not
Speaker 6: going to be doing any high powered like you know,
Speaker 6: I don't even want to note because I don't need
Speaker 6: that pen. I'm not going to be doing anything.
Speaker 4: And it's just personal use.
Speaker 6: Nothing high powered or professional or anything like that.
Speaker 1: They're not like an influencer on like Instagram or something
Speaker 1: that needs like you know, video.
Speaker 7: Editing that.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Pixel for Xcel probably would
Speaker 1: be a decent device. Now it's it's a good device,
Speaker 1: it's not I don't know if the screen size is
Speaker 1: as big as the phone that.
Speaker 2: You have right now.
Speaker 1: Let me see, no day screen size. So that is
Speaker 1: a six point three in screen and let's see what
Speaker 1: the pixel is pixel for Excel screen size. Uh, that's
Speaker 1: a let's see, Oh gosh, where is it? Screen size?
Speaker 1: Six point three? Yeah, so it's about the same screen size.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, and I love the pixel the software. Now,
Speaker 1: are you dedicated to SAMs Because if you love Samsung,
Speaker 1: like if there's certain little features, because they have a
Speaker 1: lot of little things in their software, it's you know,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get all those features. But it's
Speaker 1: a very clean and the best way I can describe
Speaker 1: a Google Pixel versus a Samsung. Google Pixel is very
Speaker 1: calming because there's not a lot going on, Whereas the
Speaker 1: Samsung there is a lot going on. You're always getting
Speaker 1: notifications from Samsung things and telling you to sign up
Speaker 1: for Samsung Pay and it's whoa, oh god, yes, So
Speaker 1: you know, having reviewed many phones over the years, that's
Speaker 1: the best way I can describe it. The Pixel is
Speaker 1: is calm. It's just it's just simple.
Speaker 2: It works.
Speaker 1: It just sits there and waits until you need to
Speaker 1: do something. Whereas the Samsung, I feel like it's always
Speaker 1: bugging me to do something.
Speaker 6: You know what. Yes, And that's not a bad thing, honestly,
Speaker 6: because like I hate the Bixi thing that's on my phone.
Speaker 4: I've never used it.
Speaker 6: I don't need to learn another piece of software. I'm
Speaker 6: just I'm just an Android person, you know. I don't
Speaker 6: I've never used an iPhone. I wanted to go that route,
Speaker 6: so I think you sold me on the Pixel for no.
Speaker 2: I think I think you might want to check it out. Now.
Speaker 1: The pictures, I hope you're prepared, because they are gonna
Speaker 1: be fantastic. I mean, so my mom, she regularly uses
Speaker 1: a pixel. I get her a Pixel usually every other model,
Speaker 1: and I recently got her the h I think it
Speaker 1: was a three XL that I was using and I
Speaker 1: gave it to her, and I mean, she doesn't want
Speaker 1: to switch because she loves the pictures. Every time she
Speaker 1: takes a picture, everyone's like, why is your picture so good?
Speaker 2: And it is. It is amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna be really impressed with the pictures
Speaker 1: on that thing. And I think, again, the calm, the
Speaker 1: calm nature of that device, and you know, I think
Speaker 1: I think you'll like it.
Speaker 2: And it is flat.
Speaker 1: Now, the case I recommend that if you drop your
Speaker 1: phone it's gonna be fine is the spec Presidio Grip.
Speaker 1: And I really like that case because it it really
Speaker 1: just it's it just really makes that phone. It makes
Speaker 1: the phone just so like it's just it's it's a
Speaker 1: little bit bigger, but it's not as big as like
Speaker 1: a giant case, and it just makes the phone, so
Speaker 1: you're not gonna drop it. Everything's gonna be good, and
Speaker 1: it's just a really nice little device. So I would
Speaker 1: recommend that. That's that's my recommendation for you.
Speaker 6: So that's what I needed to hear because I'm stuck
Speaker 6: trying to research things online and I'm like, I don't
Speaker 6: know what to do. I can't go to the store
Speaker 6: and talk to people, like.
Speaker 2: No, I can't. I can't take a look at the phones.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what I needed.
Speaker 6: Rich awesome.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Rachel, thanks for calling in and good luck,
Speaker 1: and I hope you give me an update on what
Speaker 1: you think.
Speaker 6: Okay, I will thank you so much. I have a
Speaker 6: great afternoon.
Speaker 2: Stay cool, stay.
Speaker 1: Cool, all right, moving right along with the show. So
Speaker 1: phone lines are open five to one, six, three eighty seven,
Speaker 1: thirteen twenty six. Oh wow, we're almost done with the show.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. This thing goes fast this week.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Voodoo is being acquired by Fandango. So Voodoo
Speaker 1: near and dear to my heart, because this was a
Speaker 1: company that kind of revolutionized streaming video and specifically movies
Speaker 1: so back in the day, this is I'm talking back
Speaker 1: in like two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: This was a new concept.
Speaker 1: To have every movie in the world available on your
Speaker 1: TV at any time just by pressing the button on
Speaker 1: your remote was a new concept. People did not know
Speaker 1: what this was all about. Back in the day, you
Speaker 1: had to download things from iTunes and that took a
Speaker 1: long time. Even if you had an Apple TV, you
Speaker 1: had to download at least a portion of the file
Speaker 1: before you can start playing the movie. And that might
Speaker 1: take a long time because guess what, you didn't have
Speaker 1: the fastest internet connection. Then Voodoo comes along and this
Speaker 1: was a startup. They came out with a box that
Speaker 1: did something pretty smart. It would preload a portion of
Speaker 1: the movies in the background, so that when you went
Speaker 1: on the box, it would say, well, we kind of
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are watching trolls right now,
Speaker 1: so let's just download, like, you know, a little bit
Speaker 1: of trolls that when you press play, you can start
Speaker 1: watching that movie instantly, and then your internet connection has
Speaker 1: time in the background while you're watching to catch up
Speaker 1: with the rest of the download.
Speaker 2: And this was a.
Speaker 1: Pretty new idea back then. And actually Amazon fireTV when
Speaker 1: it first came out, had that same technology. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if they still use that technology because now our
Speaker 1: internet connections are so fast that it may not matter,
Speaker 1: but this is the reality of it. And I tested
Speaker 1: this out with my friend Bald Brian, and he did
Speaker 1: not like it because his Internet was so slow. It
Speaker 1: did not work at all, so he gave it a
Speaker 1: terrible review. And maybe it was indicative of voodoo struggles
Speaker 1: over the years because Voodoo kind of did not get
Speaker 1: the proper reception it deserved for coming up with this
Speaker 1: amazing technology. And I think they're there to thank for
Speaker 1: what we have today. And Voodoo ended up being acquired
Speaker 1: by Walmart. Walmart never seemed to do anything big with them.
Speaker 1: It just didn't really work out. They never integrated them
Speaker 1: in a big way into their offerings or the synergy
Speaker 1: wasn't there with the stores. And now Fandango is buying them.
Speaker 1: So now Fandango's buying Voodoo, And long story short, if
Speaker 1: you have movies on Voodoo, they're gonna be okay. They're
Speaker 1: going to transfer it to Fandango, And I don't know
Speaker 1: if the Voodoo name is going to stick or if
Speaker 1: they're going to move it over to Fandango now, but
Speaker 1: for now it's going to stay. But just know that
Speaker 1: your movies are going to be safe. If you're doing
Speaker 1: a movie collection at all, and you've got various movies
Speaker 1: in different places like I did back in the day,
Speaker 1: check out an app called Movies Anywhere. And what Movies
Speaker 1: Anywhere does is it aggregates all of your movies from
Speaker 1: everywhere and anywhere, I should have said, and it puts
Speaker 1: them all in one place. And so if you have
Speaker 1: movies on Amazon, on Voodoo, on iTunes, it supports let's see,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you all the different things. It supports
Speaker 1: a lot of services. And this company was amazing, was
Speaker 1: it still is. It's actually owned by Disney. It was
Speaker 1: started by Disney. So it works with Apple TV, so iTunes,
Speaker 1: Prime Video, Voodoo, Google Play YouTube, Verizon, Fandango now Xfinity,
Speaker 1: and Microsoft Movies and TV.
Speaker 2: So all those.
Speaker 1: Movies you can have in one place and not just
Speaker 1: like you don't actually even have to go to the
Speaker 1: app to play the movies. You can just go to
Speaker 1: the individual apps and they're all synced up. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of cool. There is one holdout, and that is
Speaker 1: Paramount Studios. They are not a part of this. So
Speaker 1: almost every movie is except anything you have paramount. So
Speaker 1: if you have any paramount stuff, it's just not gonna work.
Speaker 1: All right, enough of an old man Rich giving history lessons,
Speaker 1: So six ' three to one, you're on with Rich
Speaker 1: six ' three to one. Hang on before you come on,
Speaker 1: six to three one. I just saw a question on
Speaker 1: the Facebook Live Sissy says, why are you not using
Speaker 1: wireless earplugs?
Speaker 2: Isn't that the best way to go?
Speaker 1: Yes, normally, and I do love my AirPods, but the
Speaker 1: problem is I've got too many Bluetooth things here, and
Speaker 1: so my AirPods kind of bounce between some of these things.
Speaker 1: And so when I wire in, I know exactly what
Speaker 1: I'm hearing and what I can troubleshoot much easier when
Speaker 1: I'm on a podcast. There's a lot of stuff going
Speaker 1: on here. I know it sounds easy to you guys
Speaker 1: as you're watching, because you hear your stuff and you
Speaker 1: call in like a radio station. But to be able
Speaker 1: to do this at home by yourself is kind of
Speaker 1: a lot. And so I need to make sure that
Speaker 1: I have as many issues minimized as possible. So that's
Speaker 1: why I do the wired earplugs and not wireless.
Speaker 2: All right, six three one, you're on with Rich? Who
Speaker 2: am I speaking with? Sixt three to one? Hello?
Speaker 4: Hello?
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 2: Are you there?
Speaker 8: Hello?
Speaker 3: Hi?
Speaker 2: Who am I speaking with?
Speaker 3: Hi?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yes, I'm calling because I have a question about
Speaker 8: the iPhone. It's okay, and I just receive an iPhone eleven,
Speaker 8: but I ask a question about iPhone s E and
Speaker 8: they don't give me much information about it. Can you
Speaker 8: tell me more about.
Speaker 1: What is the difference the difference between the iPhone eleven
Speaker 1: and the iPhone SE. So the iPhone eleven is going
Speaker 1: to have a bigger screen, it's going to have more camera,
Speaker 1: so you get a wide angle and you're going to
Speaker 1: get a wide angle lens with that device, so you
Speaker 1: can take wide angle pictures.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: Other than that, that is the biggest difference that I
Speaker 1: can think of off the top of my head. So
Speaker 1: you're getting and you're also.
Speaker 8: Getting a better campray earlier, I'm sorry you say earlier
Speaker 8: that the SE the last three years? Right, So how
Speaker 8: long does the iPhone eleven last?
Speaker 1: I would say about the same, because they're they're both
Speaker 1: running the same processor. The three year kind of timeline
Speaker 1: I gave was based on the brand new processor and
Speaker 1: kind of the track record of Apple with iOS software updates.
Speaker 1: So generally, you know, we've got phones that are about
Speaker 1: four years old that are just kind of edging out
Speaker 1: of the update approval process. I guess you can say
Speaker 1: like they you know, you can no longer get iOS
Speaker 1: thirteen on a certain device. I think it's about a
Speaker 1: four year old device.
Speaker 2: So when it.
Speaker 1: Comes to that, that's kind of what I was basing
Speaker 1: it on.
Speaker 8: Okay, so I think, do you think that SE is
Speaker 8: much better than iPhone eleven? Right?
Speaker 1: No, the SE I don't think is better than the
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven because the iPhone eleven you get more with
Speaker 1: that device because it is a bigger screen and it
Speaker 1: is a better camera. So again it really comes down
Speaker 1: to the price. The iPhone eleven is also more expensive
Speaker 1: than this phone. So if you want the iPhone eleven,
Speaker 1: I believe the entry level price is six hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty dollars, And so if you're if you're talking six
Speaker 1: fifty versus four hundred, you know that's a that's a
Speaker 1: considerable amount of money.
Speaker 2: So it is, but it depends what you need. I
Speaker 2: didn't catch your name. What your name.
Speaker 1: Myra, Myra, So sorry, the iPhone eleven starts at six
Speaker 1: ninety nine, so you're talking a three hundred dollars difference. So, Myra,
Speaker 1: my advice to you if you're trying to decide between
Speaker 1: these two things is do you need a bigger screen
Speaker 1: and do you need a better camera with a wide
Speaker 1: angle lens? Those are the two things that set the
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven apart from the iPhone se. But again you're
Speaker 1: going to be paying three hundred dollars more for those
Speaker 1: two things.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because I am Ruben.
Speaker 1: On the live representative, and Ruben on the live actually mentioned.
Speaker 8: Idea as well in size and he said that it
Speaker 8: will be almost the same as the iPhone No eleven.
Speaker 2: No, that's not true.
Speaker 1: Screen size on the iPhone eleven is is six inches
Speaker 1: and the other one is four point seven. So there
Speaker 1: it's a it's significantly larger screen. So yeah, there you go,
Speaker 1: Roger says, put the phone on the screen. So there
Speaker 1: it is. So this is the iPhone se and it
Speaker 1: is considerably smaller than this is my that's my iPhone
Speaker 1: and the iPhone eleven Pro Mac. So that's going to
Speaker 1: be you know, you're talking, this is this is a
Speaker 1: little bit bigger than the iPhone eleven, but it's still
Speaker 1: I mean you could see the screen is is gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot. It's going to be bigger on the
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven, that's for sure. So again I guess, I guess.
Speaker 1: And also the face I D which Rubin brought up,
Speaker 1: which I kind of forgot. The face ID is also
Speaker 1: another one. So do you want that face I D? Personally,
Speaker 1: I don't think face ID is. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a feature that you need. I actually personally like the
Speaker 1: touch I D sensor better because you control when your
Speaker 1: phone is unlocked much in a much more clear way
Speaker 1: than the than the face I D.
Speaker 2: So does that help?
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: What do you think you're gonna go with?
Speaker 8: H the SE? I believe because he mis explaining what
Speaker 8: whatever the difference is between the screen and the one
Speaker 8: I have is iPhone seven plus, but he told me
Speaker 8: that it was bigger the iPhone. I don't know. And
Speaker 8: I want the same size, well, I want.
Speaker 2: You want if you want the same size plus, if
Speaker 2: you want.
Speaker 1: The same size as the seven plus, I would recommend
Speaker 1: going the iPhone eleven because the SE is going to
Speaker 1: be considerably smaller, I mean considerably smaller.
Speaker 2: So a little bit smaller, I'd say considerably considerably.
Speaker 1: Yes, So if you want that big screen life, I
Speaker 1: think you got to go with the iPhone eleven. And
Speaker 1: if you trade in your phone by the way, are
Speaker 1: you going to trade in your device?
Speaker 8: No? No, I am keeping it.
Speaker 1: Oh you're keeping it, okay. I was gonna say, cause
Speaker 1: you can get a little trade in. Yeah, I myra
Speaker 1: I would recommend the iPhone eleven just because if you
Speaker 1: want that big screen, if you're used to it, I
Speaker 1: would say that's probably the way to go. So good question.
Speaker 1: And Reuben, thanks for getting me on the face I
Speaker 1: d I guess I don't really see that as a
Speaker 1: benefit per se. I mean, I like the face ID,
Speaker 1: but I'm not, like, you know, I'm not, you know,
Speaker 1: totally in love with it. I think it's cool, but
Speaker 1: it's not like a must have feature for me.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Nintendo, if you have a Nintendo account, run, do not walk,
Speaker 1: Run and set up two factor authentication on that account,
Speaker 1: because apparently a lot of accounts are getting hacked. And
Speaker 1: I checked this morning on my Nintendo account, and a
Speaker 1: lot of times. The reason most of the time, if
Speaker 1: you get hacked on like a random account, not that
Speaker 1: big of a deal if it's something that's not very exciting.
Speaker 1: But with a Nintendo account, you probably have a credit
Speaker 1: card link to that account if you ever purchased something
Speaker 1: from Nintendo, like coins or whatever, an app anything, So
Speaker 1: I would go in right now to your Nintendo account
Speaker 1: and set up two steps authentication now, and I did it.
Speaker 1: I had to use a an authentication app, which I
Speaker 1: was looking online to see if they actually will send
Speaker 1: you a text message, which it doesn't seem like they will.
Speaker 1: So an authentication app is a little trickier than just
Speaker 1: setting up like you know, where they text you a
Speaker 1: message and it has a little number in it. You've
Speaker 1: seen that before, so it is a little bit more
Speaker 1: involved if you if if it's true that they can't
Speaker 1: do that. I did not see that option because I
Speaker 1: was all prepared to just put in my phone number
Speaker 1: and have them text me when I you know, when
Speaker 1: someone logs in. But apparently you need one of these apps,
Speaker 1: and you can use a couple. There's some Google authenticator,
Speaker 1: but the one I like is called auth au Thy.
Speaker 1: So if you're doing two factor authentication, authe is really good.
Speaker 1: And I find that it's better than Google Authenticator, So
Speaker 1: I would check out auth the au thy and please
Speaker 1: set up two factor authentication on your Nintendo account as
Speaker 1: soon as you can. If you got one for your kids,
Speaker 1: please please please do that. All right, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: we're almost to the end of the show. Should I
Speaker 1: take one more call? Let's see? Um five six two
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich. Five six two.
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich?
Speaker 1: Who am I speaking with?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 3: Rich?
Speaker 7: This is Alan, Hey Allen, Long Beach.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 7: Hot?
Speaker 2: Even in Long Beach?
Speaker 1: It's hot, isn't that?
Speaker 2: That's scary?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we always get a little hot out here because
Speaker 7: the way we're positioned.
Speaker 2: So o interesting. I didn't know that. So Long Beach
Speaker 2: is hotter than other beaches.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 7: Usually Long Beach we've gotten into triple digits. Manhattan Beach,
Speaker 7: were down to Beach, Formosa Beach, Sunset Beach, Newport Beach.
Speaker 7: To Beach could be twenty degrees cooler. It's just the
Speaker 7: way we're being faced.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 1: Oh, I did not know that. Okay, well, good to know. Well,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 7: Well, I have a question with regards to some wireless
Speaker 7: earbuds I've been very prone to using bows. I like
Speaker 7: the sound. I like the way their ear pieces fit
Speaker 7: in the ear. It's kind of a secure as you're talking,
Speaker 7: it doesn't fall out. I just recently had the wired
Speaker 7: ones and I usually keep my phone in my back
Speaker 7: pocket and I sat down and I heard a snap
Speaker 7: and that was in of the pin that went in.
Speaker 7: I'm currently using a brand called Aeroplex by Aftershock, which
Speaker 7: is the one that I guess sits on your right
Speaker 7: by your ear the sound bone, and you can hear
Speaker 7: pretty good, but the quality is not that great. I
Speaker 7: did buy a pair of Jabra sixty five t Elite.
Speaker 7: I didn't like the sound on that, and half the
Speaker 7: time the left side would never connect. So what do
Speaker 7: you I'm using an Android, uh, and I was just wondering,
Speaker 7: what do you recommend? The Aniplex is kind of cool
Speaker 7: because you know, you can still hear, but it vibrates
Speaker 7: on your your sound bone, and sometimes I get a little.
Speaker 1: Bit like, you know, it's a little bit much. I
Speaker 1: can see that. Have you thought of these Samsung ear pods.
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 7: Again, I like the way that I know boses are
Speaker 7: very over christ but the sound quality is good. And
Speaker 7: I like the way the ear pieces sit in your
Speaker 7: ear because they get that little flange that goes in
Speaker 7: your ear.
Speaker 1: Well, the Galaxy the Galaxy buds sort of do that,
Speaker 1: and in fact, I think they do that more than
Speaker 1: the AirPods, so I mean from you know, really yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's that's like the new ones at least
Speaker 1: they definitely like they pop into your ear. So there's
Speaker 1: actually a piece that goes into your ear and kind
Speaker 1: of holds holds the bud there, and it's very small,
Speaker 1: very minimalistic. I think the sound quality is very good,
Speaker 1: and they just come out with the new version, so
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know, I'd recommend those, especially
Speaker 1: if you have a Samsung device. It's gonna work really
Speaker 1: nicely because you get all the extra kind of Samsung
Speaker 1: goodness built in. You kind of discounted them, so I'm curious.
Speaker 1: Why is it just because the way they fit in
Speaker 1: your ear?
Speaker 9: You think, uh, well, other like like other earbuds, whiles
Speaker 9: earbuds that I've used before, you know.
Speaker 7: As you're talking and your jaws moving, fallen.
Speaker 3: Out pop out, I will tell you that's the.
Speaker 7: Way that that happens. When the Bears had it in. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that happens to me on like almost every
Speaker 1: set of earbuds that I test. But I will tell you,
Speaker 1: out of all of them, I felt like the Galaxy
Speaker 1: Buds actually fell out the least out of any that
Speaker 1: I tested. So I I, you know, I'm kind of like,
Speaker 1: I come from a place of I don't like the
Speaker 1: things to sit in your ear. So when AirPods came out,
Speaker 1: I was actually very impressed that they sat in my
Speaker 1: ear and stayed there because I run a lot too,
Speaker 1: so I need something that sits in my ears when
Speaker 1: I run, and I.
Speaker 2: Did run with the Galaxy buds.
Speaker 1: I will say when I got sweaty a little bit,
Speaker 1: I was having trouble with one of them popping out
Speaker 1: a little bit more.
Speaker 2: But they they really stayed in.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was pretty impressed with these things. So
Speaker 1: I would take a look at those. The problem with
Speaker 1: these earbuds is you can't really try them on, and
Speaker 1: you know, I mean especially now with the stores being
Speaker 1: closed and you know, all this stuff. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: I would take a look at those and see what
Speaker 1: you think. Because I was very impressed with them. I
Speaker 1: would recommend them. I have no reservations recommending those over
Speaker 1: a lot. And I'm believing I've tried the jabras.
Speaker 2: I do. There is one Jabra though you didn't like.
Speaker 1: See I had a problem with the job or too
Speaker 1: that I just they weren't as good as I thought
Speaker 1: they would be.
Speaker 2: But yeah, because I did.
Speaker 1: Like, there's one Jabra that actually came over my ear,
Speaker 1: like at the back of it and it held it
Speaker 1: in place really well.
Speaker 2: But I just didn't like the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I just didn't like as much.
Speaker 7: The only the only problem I had with the Jabra
Speaker 7: was the sound. Sound quality wasn't that great, but I
Speaker 7: kept losing the connection on the left side and I
Speaker 7: could never get it to reconnect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I've heard that before with Jabra,
Speaker 1: and that's that's very frustrating, especially with wireless, which but
Speaker 1: that happens with my AirPods sometimes. I you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: I go out of my house, I start a run
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, one of the air buds
Speaker 1: goes out and it's like, oh, it's a whole big thing.
Speaker 1: I got to go back to my house and it's
Speaker 1: it's a it's a whole big thing. But uh, well,
Speaker 1: I hope that helps with with some of your thoughts.
Speaker 1: I would check out the Galaxy Buds for sure. I
Speaker 1: think that you'll be pretty happy with them, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure they have a return policy if you're not and
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out. But I have I think those
Speaker 1: are some of the best after the AirPods. Can you
Speaker 1: believe it? That's gonna do it for this show. Thanks
