31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: of his latest tips and tricks that he's picked up

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: along the way traveling to so many cities nationwide and

00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the Quantum Information Center. Yeah, he's going to tackle a

36
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: big one, the basics of quantum computing. We've heard so

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 1: much about quantum computing, especially how it's going to change

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: everything in the future. I thought it'd be pretty smart

39
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: just to get the basics about what that is. Well,

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: thanks for tuning in. Appreciate you listening this week. A

41
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: couple things. Well, first off, I celebrated my birthday, which

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: was a big one.

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: Well it wasn't a big one.

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a milestone birthday, so don't don't yeah,

45
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: but it was it was just fun.

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: My mom was in town. You know, my family was there.

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: It was great.

48
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: And you know, it was during the work week, so

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: it was like I still went to work and everything.

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: But I did post on social media and many, many,

51
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: many of you did comment, and I do appreciate that.

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: You made me feel very very special because I wasn't

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: even gonna post about it, and I was like, ah,

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, why not, I give you some attention.

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: Just kidding.

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: But this week I also so right after my birthday,

57
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: I went to I blined it to Las Vegas. I

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: was very excited for this, the premiere of The Wizard

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: of Oz at the Sphere. Now, if you haven't been

60
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: to the Sphere yet, it is quite incredible. It's this

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: giant ball that just sits in the middle of Las Vegas.

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: It's always showing something cool on its exosphere, the lights,

63
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: the programmable screen on the outside, it's always showing some

64
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: kind of funny little face or whatever they want. And

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: so I did that, went there and I was wondering.

66
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I want to see this, but

67
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure how it's technology.

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: But as soon as I.

69
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Started interviewing some of the principles that created this film,

70
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: like the director and some of the other folks behind it.

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, this is all technology interesting. So

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: the big question is how do you take an eighty

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: six year old film and then sort of remake it

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: for a giant screen and with new technology. And so

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: they used AI a lot. I would pretty much say

76
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: this is the first AI film. That's really what it is.

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: They took an old movie and they recreated the entire

78
00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: thing with AI.

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: That's the way I see it. I'll explain.

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: But the original movie, you know, premiered back in nineteen

81
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: thirty nine at now what's the TCL Chinese Theater. It

82
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: used to be the I think it was a man's

83
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Chinese theater back in the day, and that was a

84
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: twenty four foot screen. Okay, now the sphere if you

85
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: haven't been inside, this is a sixteen K resolution, one

86
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty thousand square foot screen.

87
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: Huge.

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's almost wrap around, that's really what

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: it is. It's very immersive. The seats move, so they've

90
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: got these rumble seats in there. They've got fans for wind,

91
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: they've got a scentse system, they've got just all kinds

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: of tricks in there, all the latest technology and the

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: sound system is like nothing you've ever experienced. They can

94
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: direct sounds right to your seat, so it is really

95
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: quite impressive. Now, the experience starts right when you get in.

96
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: They call it the Atrium. This is kind of like

97
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 1: when you go to an event at the Sphere. They've

98
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 1: got like an hour of time before where you actually

99
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: go into the event, right, you just kind of stand

100
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: around and explore what's in the what they call the atrium,

101
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: and they sort of dress it up for the show.

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: So for this, it's all sepiotoned when you get in,

103
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: so you know, imagine the beginning of the movie where

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: it's back in time and it's just you know, she's

105
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: in Kansas, and so the whole kind of atrium looks

106
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: like that, and then when you leave, it transforms fully

107
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: into all Green an Emerald City, and there's like an

108
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: interactive wizard that you can interact with, kind of like

109
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: so if you've been to a Sphere thing before, or

110
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: if you haven't, they used to have these really high

111
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: tech robots in there that you can interact with. The

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: wizard is sort of replacing them, but you know, they

113
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: can do multiple things at this place at once. It's

114
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: not just like one thing at a time. Anyway, See,

115
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: you get inside and it's very exciting. I was there

116
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: for the opening premiere and so it was kind of cool.

117
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean to me, one of the best best things

118
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: was all the food was free, so I was like grabbing,

119
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: like I grab so much stuff. I grab like popcorn

120
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: and like can't and drinks whatever I could. So that

121
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: was kind of fun. When do you ever get that

122
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: right in a movie? But when you get inside the screen,

123
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: it's like you get inside and it looks like Radio

124
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: City Music Hall, which is also the same company that

125
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: owns this, and so it tricks you because the movie

126
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: starts in the middle of that little screen and then

127
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it widens out to take up

128
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: the whole dome and people that is the first awe moment, like,

129
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this is going to be different, and

130
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: the whole audience is like audibly wowed right there, and

131
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: so now you know you're in for something special and

132
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: that was really cool. Then comes the tornado scene. Now,

133
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: this is just incredible what they've done. So they are

134
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: using every single thing available to them in that sphere.

135
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking wind leaves, Like there's actual leaves that kind

136
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: of move around in there. The seats are rumbling, people

137
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 1: were covering their faces, they were hooting, they were hollering.

138
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: It was so cool, Like I'm just sitting there smiling

139
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: as an adult. How many times you have a smile

140
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: on your face? Not very often, right, I'm just kidding,

141
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean, but yes, you know, like something that brings

142
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: a true childish smile to your face. Every single person

143
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: in there was just literally and figuratively blown away. And

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: by the way, they I haven't seen the original movie

145
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: in a long time, but that.

146
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: Tornado scene lasted so long.

147
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I think they just made it longer just to have

148
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: fun with like all the effects and that it was

149
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: so crazy. I want to post the video to my Instagram,

150
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: but they told us not to, you know, record video

151
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: during the movie, but I did, just because you know,

152
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: I like to break the rules every once in a while.

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: But I want to share it, but I don't because

154
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: I want to ruin it for you. It is it

155
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: is worth the price of admission right there. Anyway, once

156
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: you get into the movie, it's clear that AI is everywhere,

157
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: so they used it to do things like you know,

158
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: if you think about how small this was when it

159
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: first came out, they had to expand it to fit

160
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: this screen, so they used AI to sort of rebuild

161
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: the edges, the backgrounds, the extras, the crowds of people.

162
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: So it was it's very apparent to me the AI

163
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: use in this movie. And by the way, they worked

164
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: with Google Cloud to do this, and it was very

165
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: apparent to me. And yes, sometimes I'm like, Okay, that's AI,

166
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: that's AI, that's AI. But you can't let that ruin

167
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: your impression of this, like you still have to just

168
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: like any other movie, you gotta have a little suspension

169
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: of disbelief. They used AI to make, you know, to

170
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: make the resolution look better, so you know, you can

171
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: spot it if you're looking for it, but if you

172
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: just kind of enjoy, you'll enjoy it. Now there's also

173
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: physical effects, so they've got apples falling from the sky,

174
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: there was snow in there.

175
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: At one point.

176
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: There's fire, real fire, flying monkeys. I mean, I'm not kidding.

177
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: They went all out on this thing, and it was like,

178
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: I think at one point they're just like, you know what,

179
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: We're just gonna do the craziest, wildest stuff we can

180
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: imagine inside of a movie experience. And they did Now,

181
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: this was about eighty minutes, so I think that's that's

182
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: shorter than the standard movie. But I'm not kidding. It

183
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: flew by so fast. There were some I'm scares. I mean, look,

184
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: if you're a purist about the Wizard of Oz, you

185
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: might not like this version of it. But if you're

186
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: just someone that's like, okay, I want to see how

187
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: technology can change the way we tell stories. This is

188
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: like the best example I've ever experienced. People are asking me,

189
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: is it for kids? I think so. It's intense. There's

190
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: intense moments, so you have to understand, like what the

191
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, what your kids can deal with, But it's

192
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: nothing like super scary.

193
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: Also, the best place to sit.

194
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: We sat in the two hundred section, which is right

195
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: front and center, so that I thought was pretty cool.

196
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: Tickets are not cheap. I mean, tickets start about over

197
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars and they go up from there by

198
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: the way, and then you've got the popcorn and the drinks,

199
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: and it's not a cheap experience. But here's the deal.

200
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: Number one, you're in Vegas, you're gonna be spending money anyway.

201
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: I proceeded to gamble one hundred dollars in like less

202
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: than an hour. Guess what I have to tell you

203
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: about that? Zero nothing. I have no memories of it.

204
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: It was a waste of money. The experience I had

205
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: at the Wizard of Oz was incredible, and I'll be

206
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: telling my grandkids about it. Well, I mean maybe we'll see.

207
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: I'll just tell them to listen. Anyway, I thought it

208
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Definitely worth it if you are in

209
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: Las Vegas or you're planning a trip. And how wild

210
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: is it in this day and age twenty twenty five

211
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: that now Apple, Amazon and Google are making movies. I mean,

212
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: I get that Netflix is a it's a studio house,

213
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: but these three companies, the three tech companies in our world,

214
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: are now making movies.

215
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: Just let that.

216
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 2: Just think about that for a moment. Did you ever

217
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: think that would happen?

218
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, this was also brilliant because guess what,

219
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: half the people that walk out of this sphere when

220
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: they see this version are going to go home and

221
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: rent the original.

222
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: So now the ip folks make money again.

223
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: Anyway, you can read my whole review on the website

Speaker 2: I'm doing fantastic? What can I help you with?

246
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: I appreciate you and your ring program. I have been

247
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 5: been listening to you since day one.

248
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'd love to hear that. Thank you so much.

249
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: Anything changed throughout the years that we've been doing this.

250
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: It's been almost three now.

251
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: Well it's just ongoing up updates to the tech world.

252
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 5: Really really appreciate that.

253
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: All right, what can I help you with?

254
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 5: I'm actually calling on behalf of a friend who's having

255
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 5: just a terrible time with cell phones. Okay, she has

256
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 5: been through five cell phones in the past year or so,

257
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 5: four Androids and an iPhone, and somehow, in some ways,

258
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 5: someone seems to be able to find her phone and

259
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 5: tap into it and even control her phone.

260
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's not good.

261
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 5: That's why I'm calling you for any thoughts or suggestions.

262
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 5: He even tried to iPhone and it was having the

263
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 5: same problem and got interest with the Apple who did

264
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 5: not believe her.

265
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah I could. I could see that.

266
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Well let me let me, let me go through some

267
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: of the steps I think that could help.

268
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: Number one.

269
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: It sounds to me, number one, it's not I get

270
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: these emails all the time people tell me their phone

271
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: is hacked, and I don't really understand what they mean

272
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: by that, because there is not a simple way for

273
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: someone to claim control over your phone.

274
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: There just is not.

275
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: These are two platforms that are very secure, iOS and

276
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: Android and now an Android. There are ways that could

277
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: make that process easier if you gave someone access to

278
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: your phone, But there's really not a way that someone

279
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: can remotely control your smartphone, Like there's not just like

280
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: some website they can log into and say, okay, let

281
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: me target this woman's phone, let me get in there,

282
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: and let me do a lot of stuff. So it's

283
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: tough to say that someone has taken over control of

284
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: your phone. Now, there are apps that you can install

285
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: on your phone that may do something similar to that,

286
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: like a team viewer or something like that, but you

287
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: know remote access apps, but you know you would have

288
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: to really install those and give someone access and hand

289
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: over the credit. And also you would see what's happening

290
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: on your screen if that was the case. So it's

291
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: very unlikely that the phone is being taken over by someone. Now,

292
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: with that said, there are ways that someone can get

293
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: access to different parts of the device, and what this

294
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: really comes down to is your social media, your email,

295
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: your iPhone, iCloud, and also Android. So if they had

296
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: access to their login, which is either their Apple ID

297
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: or their Android Google ID, they might be able to

298
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: do something there, but again highly unlikely because there's so

299
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: many safeguards in place by Apple and Google to not

300
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: let this stuff happen. And the only times we've ever

301
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: seen a true example of a phone being hacked is

302
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: in a couple of ways. Number One, you're sort of

303
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: a head of state or someone that's very prominent, and

304
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: you click on a link and you get some sort

305
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: of spyware or malware downloaded to your phone, and next

306
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: thing you know, that is you know. And the only

307
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: times you've ever seen that is really, like I said,

308
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: heads of state or journalists. It's not just regular people

309
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: that that's happening too.

310
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: Now.

311
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: The more common way is if you sideload an app,

312
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: and this is why Apple is sideloading for years, so

313
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't even happen on the iPhone at least in

314
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: the US. And then with Android, yes you can sideload,

315
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: but there's so many precautions in place. When you get

316
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: a new phone, it doesn't just let you sideload anymore.

317
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: You have to say yes like three different times to

318
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: be able to download something that's not from the Google

319
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: Play Store and install it on your phone. So again,

320
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: not very plausible that someone could just take over access

321
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: on your phone. So when it comes to the hacking

322
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to your friend. What I would recommend

323
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: is start with the big account, your Apple account, and

324
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: your Google account and your social media go through. Change

325
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: those passwords. That's number one. Change the passwords to something strong.

326
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: Use something that's at least fourteen characters, use a password

327
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: generator to make those and save those. Then you gotta

328
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: go in and turn on two factor authentication. It's not bulletproof,

329
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: but it is the best protection you have against someone

330
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: gaining access to your account. And the third thing I

331
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: would do is find the in the settings. There's typically

332
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: in your account settings under security, there's typically a setting

333
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: that says log me out everywhere else. And so I

334
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: just had to do this with my Instagram because it

335
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: thought someone was hacking me, but I was just logging

336
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: in from a new phone, and so it logged me

337
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: out everywhere. Every one of my phones I had Instagram

338
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: installed on, it logged me out. And you can go in,

339
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: is that we have logged you out of all your

340
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: other devices. You can do that on Facebook, on Instagram,

341
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: on Gmail. You can just go through and just log

342
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: yourself out of all these other places that you might

343
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: be logged in. And if someone happened to have access,

344
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: they would be logged out as well.

345
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: So those are the things I would do.

346
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: And if you need a good two factor authentication app,

347
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: which I always recommend an app over a phone number

348
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: is a Proton Authenticator is excellent, excellent, excellent, and that

349
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: is a lab for iPhone and Android. But again, change

350
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: all those passwords set up to two factor authentication. That

351
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: should be your best defense against quote unquote someone hacking

352
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: or taking over your phone.

353
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: Eighty eight rich one O one.

Speaker 2: We'll get back to the phone lines in just a moment.

362
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: Chad writes in on the website rich on tech dot tv,

363
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: what is the best power bank to buy for your

364
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: iPhone and iPad pro twenty thousand and above. I would

365
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: appreciate it, so, Chad, I would recommend the a Belkan

366
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: power bank it's called the boost Charge Power Bank twenty K.

367
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: I've got one of these and it's it's forty dollars

368
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: or less. Comes in a bunch of and that's a

369
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: twenty thousand million amp hours, which means you're going to

370
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of extra playback on your devices there.

371
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: And it'll work with both It's got three ports, got

372
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: the USBC and USBA, so you'll be able to plug

373
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: in whatever you need and belcan you know they do

374
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: a good job.

375
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: They really do.

376
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: I also like Anchor, probably find them for cheaper and

377
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: I do carry around an Anchor. They've had some issues

378
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: lately with some of the recalls, but they're still good brands.

379
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: So those are the two that I would recommend taking

380
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: a look at. Thanks for the email. All right on

381
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: with us now is Philip Jones, technical editor and lead

382
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: reviewer at Projector Reviews Projector reviews dot com. We're going

383
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: to talk about projectors. Philip, Welcome to the show.

384
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 3: Hey, how are you rich?

385
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: I am doing fantastic, Thanks so much for joining me.

386
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: So what is the current trend in the projector industry?

387
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 6: Well, A lot of times when you look at projectors,

388
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 6: you're thinking about the old traditional home cinema. But the

389
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 6: trend seems to be utilizing projectors as TV replacements or

390
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 6: in applications where you would not want to utilize a

391
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 6: flat panel TV, like maybe a campsite or backyard theater.

392
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: So those seem to be the bigger trends right now.

393
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: That was the first time that I I mean, as

394
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: a kid, I remember the giant like they used to

395
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: have like projector TVs too, right where it was like

396
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: the three lights at the bottom, like those giant lights.

397
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean that was I don't We didn't have one

398
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: of those, but I know a friend did. It was

399
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: like yeah, it was like I've just that like just

400
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: came back to me. I kind of forgot about those.

401
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: But the first time I used the projector was during

402
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: the pandemic when we were starting to watch backyard movies

403
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: and so the whole name of the game was getting

404
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: like you know, the brightness and all this stuff. But

405
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: I feel like that's when a lot of people that

406
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: were not projector people got into that world.

407
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: Is that true? You think?

408
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: I think so.

409
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 6: And while flat panels are getting larger, there's still some

410
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 6: applications where even those gigantic flat panels are not going

411
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 6: to work. Yes, you can go out and buy a

412
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 6: one hundred inch flat panel. Now I saw them at

413
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 6: Costco for under like three or four thousand, But I'd

414
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 6: like to see you carry one of those up up

415
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 6: eight flight of stairs in a New York walk up

416
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 6: apartment or so A lot of times, even though you

417
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 6: can get a massive flat panel, a projector with a

418
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 6: small screen or a projector on a wall maybe a

419
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 6: better application for you.

420
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: So I was going to ask about that, are people

421
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: using projectors to replace their TV? And what do you

422
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: think the consideration is for that, Like what are you

423
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: going to miss if you do that?

424
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 6: Well, normally there's a lot of people that are starting

425
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 6: to use projectors as a replacement for their TV. So

426
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 6: there's actually two types of categories of projectors that are

427
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 6: designed to do that.

428
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: The first is they call them kind of a laser TV.

429
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 6: These are ultra short row projectors that sit maybe less

430
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 6: than a foot from your wall but can project like

431
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty inch image and you can use

432
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 6: it on a white wall or you could use it

433
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 6: on a screen.

434
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: The other one is called a lifestyle projector.

435
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 6: It looks almost like a tube, but it has a

436
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 6: projector and a sound system in it, and it also

437
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 6: has all the smart features, which makes that really easy

438
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 6: to move from place to place, like maybe in an apartment.

439
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: The big thing that had to happen more brightness, and

440
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 6: you're starting to see that in projectors to help overcome

441
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 6: ambient light, along with specialized screens that actually reject light

442
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 6: from any direction.

443
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: But when a projector is shining light at it.

444
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So you kind of have to decide you

445
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: want the short throw. Those are more expensive than a

446
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: standard projector, is that right?

447
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: Let mean.

448
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: For brightness, it is possible.

449
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 6: Normally you have those premium home theater projectors and those

450
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 6: are what you're paying for is more of the black

451
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 6: level than anything else. But when you compare the lens

452
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 6: assembly on an ultra short throw to a standard throw projector,

453
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 6: the ultra short throw lens is more complex, so it

454
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 6: normally does carry a little bit more command, a little

455
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 6: bit more of a price premium, but not that much.

456
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 3: These days.

457
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 6: You can get a great one starting at about twenty

458
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 6: five hundred dollars, and that you can get and maybe

459
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 6: one of the top of the lines is maybe seven

460
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 6: or eight thousand dollars.

461
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: So you how long you've been covering this stuff.

462
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 6: Well, I used to be the product technology manager for

463
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 6: Sony Electronics for over a decade. I've been messing around

464
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 6: projectors for probably fifteen years. I have been the one

465
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 6: of the principal members of Projector Reviews for about six

466
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 6: years now.

467
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so what have you I mean?

468
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: Like, if someone is just thinking, oh, projectors, and they

469
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: kind of have this old kind of thought in their

470
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: head about what projectors are, how do you think the

471
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: tech has changed or improved over the years.

472
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so the first thing the brightness.

473
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 6: That there has been a massive improvement in the efficiency

474
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 6: of the light sources that are built into these projectors,

475
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 6: so they're much much, much, much much brighter in a

476
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 6: smaller package. And that tends to be the biggest problem

477
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 6: because a lot of times you want to watch video

478
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 6: or football games or something and the room is not

479
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 6: pitch black. Having more brightness allows you to overcome that

480
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 6: and maybe have someone sitting right next to you reading

481
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 6: a book and you still get a vibrant a vibrant image.

482
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: Then you add.

483
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 6: Things like smart features, so they want because they want

484
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 6: to to replace TVs. You're starting to see Google TV

485
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 6: or Android TV operating system. And you also start to

486
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 6: see much better sound systems than what you can put

487
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 6: into a flat panel because a flat a thin panel

488
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 6: makes thin sound. So these projectors have more room for speakers,

489
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 6: so they actually sound better.

490
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: So what is the best type of content? You mentioned sports?

491
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously sports and movies come to mind. Is

492
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: that you know, do those work on a projector?

493
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 7: Oh?

494
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

495
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 6: I mean, of course, most people when they think of projectors,

496
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 6: they think of movies, you know, turning off the lights

497
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 6: and watching the latest blockbuster. But if you but watching

498
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 6: a football game, I'm gonna I'm when I get done

499
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 6: with this, I'm gonna go watch and is watching I

500
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 6: think the text is Ohio game and watching that game

501
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 6: on a one hundred and thirty inch screen is dramatic.

502
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 6: My house is super Bowl Central. I can't tell you

503
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 6: how people email me every Super Bowl saying are you

504
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 6: having a party?

505
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 3: Can I come over?

506
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 8: The other?

507
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: I mean, look at your job? I mean come on,

508
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: it's like that's what I want to watch.

509
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

510
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 6: The other thing that's really growing in popularity is gaming.

511
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 6: The input lag on these units, you are getting really

512
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 6: really small, really really fast, rivaling rival that will rival

513
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 6: a consumer flat panel TV and playing Halo or Grand

514
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 6: Turismo on a one hundred and twenty, one hundred and

515
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 6: fifty or two hundred inch screen is a little bit

516
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 6: better of a perspective than playing in on a fifty

517
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 6: five inch TV.

518
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: My pretty ser Bobo just put his arm up. He's like, yes, please,

519
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: I'll Halo. Is that the is that the?

520
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

521
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: He wants to play Halo?

522
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: So what about these small projectors? Like I did a

523
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: story with x Jimmy. There's also one like the Nebula Capsule,

524
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: Like these are like really small portable projectors that you

525
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: can bring like you know, hotel room if you wanted.

526
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: What about those coming on the scene, Like what should

527
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: people look for in those?

528
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: Well, the there's a couple of things the Some of them.

529
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 6: Are battery operated, but I will tell you the battery

530
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 6: is nice for super convenience, but battery is going to

531
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 6: limit the brightness of the unit. So and it also

532
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 6: takes a real estate that could be utilized for sound

533
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 6: or a more powerful light source. So if you ultimate portability,

534
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 6: maybe battery smart features are great and sound system because

535
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 6: you just grab this thing, connect it to your phone

536
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 6: and you're all as a hot spot and you can

537
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 6: watch movies or Netflix anywhere. If you if I would say,

538
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 6: probably look for a little bit more brightness. A lot

539
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 6: of times people will use these these terms such as

540
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 6: lux or or think led lumens, but what you will

541
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 6: look for is lumens. That's like, that is the standard measurement.

542
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 6: So you need more lumens to overcome ambient light or

543
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 6: a brighter scrape. So if I was going to get

544
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 6: a small projector, like I like the anchors, the little

545
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 6: the little nebulous those are those are great. The x

546
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 6: GM's are great. There's a lot of companies that make

547
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 6: really great projectors. Those little small ones are.

548
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: Normally maybe.

549
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: Uh, seven hundred lumens, which is great for an eight

550
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 6: inch TV.

551
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: But you can get some companies or making.

552
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 6: Them that size that are now fourteen hundred and fifteen

553
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 6: hundred lumens.

554
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: It's not going to have a battery built.

555
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 6: Then it'll be around the same price, but that'll allow

556
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 6: you to put like one hundred and something one hundred

557
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 6: and twenty inch screen outside, which is actually nice.

558
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: But minimum seven hundred lumens is a pretty good number

559
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: for about an eighty inch viewing screen.

560
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say even if you seven hundred looks

561
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 6: really really good. At a minimum, you probably want to

562
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 6: be at four hundred would be my recommendation, because that

563
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 6: will make it look the colors look more vibrant when

564
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 6: they're shown at brighter, higher brightnesses.

565
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: All right, we're running out of time here, but I

566
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: want to get some from some specific recommendations from you.

567
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: Any any recommendations you want to leave us with for

568
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: the pricey and then the budget projector.

569
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 6: Okay, So if I was going to buy a big Boy,

570
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 6: a pricey unit, those are normally there's there's big there's

571
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 6: brands that are way out there at the price of

572
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 6: a small BMW. But the ones that if you're looking

573
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 6: for ultra premium right now, it's probably epsin JBC and Sony.

574
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 6: So my favorite right now is the big It's an Epsen.

575
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 6: It's called a QL seven thousand. It has ten thousand

576
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 6: lumens of brightness. We're going to be showing one of

577
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 6: those at Cedia on a two hundred inch cinema screen

578
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 6: and you'll be able to watch that thing with the

579
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 6: lights on.

580
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

581
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: Well, okay, am I getting the price right? About thirty

582
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: something thousand.

583
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: It's about thirty six thousand.

584
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: Okay, car, I'll just get this.

585
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what somebody wants. It's super bright.

586
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 6: If you're looking for inky inky inky blacks like I

587
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 6: would probably do something like a JVC n Z nine

588
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 6: hundred or a Sony Bravia nine.

589
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: Okay, Now, value people, my.

590
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 6: Favorite value system unit out there under five hundred bucks

591
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 6: would be something like Yaba makes one that's called a

592
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 6: V twelve. It's like three hundred ninety nine dollars about

593
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 6: seven hundred lumens. It's it's a good little projector for

594
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 6: the price. And then there's another one called there's a

595
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 6: little EPSOM called a Epavision flex I think co WO one.

596
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 6: That's about four hundred actually that's about four hundred dollars,

597
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 6: but that is three thousand humans. But it has a bulb,

598
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 6: so it's not like these. Most of these a solid

599
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 6: state that has a bulb. But if you just want

600
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 6: brightness in an itty bitty box, that's the way.

601
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: To go, all right.

602
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,000

00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: I love when I find something like this. When I

613
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: find something like this, I don't know why there's this Like,

614
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: there's this part of me that I'm like, I don't

615
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: want to share this because it's so good.

616
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: Why do I feel that way? Is that that's like

617
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: a bad way to feel.

618
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: But every time I find something that's so good, I'm like,

619
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to share this with anyone because it's

620
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: so good. But that's my whole job is to share

621
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: this with you. So when I found this, I had

622
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: to check in double check to see if it is

623
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: as good as I believe it is, and it really is.

624
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: So one of the most popular questions I get is

625
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: rich how do I clear out the storage on my iPhone?

626
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: I am up against the storage they want me to

627
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: pay for iCloud or I'm out of my iCloud because Basically,

628
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: what's happening is it becomes so easy to take large

629
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: videos and tons of photos on our phone.

630
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: No one goes through and takes the time to actually

631
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: clear those out. So what do we do.

632
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: We get that email from Google or that email from

633
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: Apple saying, hey, you need to up your eyecloud or

634
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: pay for eCloud, and you probably just do it because

635
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: it starts out at ninety nine cents a dollar ninety nine.

636
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: Then it just keeps going up and up and up.

637
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: So here is the way to clear out the photos

638
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: that you don't need on your iPhone or the large videos. Okay,

639
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: and the app, this app that I'm gonna tell you about,

640
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: is completely free. There are no ads. I couldn't believe it.

641
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: No ads, and I had to double check. There are

642
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: no in app purchases. So it's not even gonna try

643
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: to sell you on anything else. I mean talk about

644
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: the game. What this company is doing is they're basically

645
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: going to say, oh, you're gonna love this so much,

646
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: you're probably going to check out the other software that

647
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: we offer, and you might buy that because they do

648
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: offer some other software that's really good, by the way,

649
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: So here it is. It's called Clever Cleaner, Clever Cleaner.

650
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: And if you go on the app Store you want

651
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: to search this up, it says Clever Cleaner AI Cleanup

652
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: app Clever Files Incorporated. Okay, make sure you get the

653
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: right one. Right now, it's number ninety four in productivity.

654
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm guessing tomorrow it's gonna be number one, because once

655
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: the word gets out about this app, it's gonna jump.

656
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: So here's the deal.

657
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: It was developed by Clever Files. This is a company

658
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: that makes another app that I really like called disc Drill.

659
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: It's a data recovery app and it helps you do

660
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. But this is using AI and

661
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: it's all happening local on your phone, by the way,

662
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: so it's not sending anything to the cloud. You can

663
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: do this app with your phone in airplane mode. It'll

664
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: still work. But basically it's going to use AI to

665
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: find not just duplicates, but also similar photos and videos.

666
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: So when you go into.

667
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: This app, there are four screens at the bottom, four

668
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: little tabs, okay, and the first tab is similar and

669
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: so it's going to scan through all your stuff. And

670
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 1: I've got two six hundred and ninety two files and

671
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: it's going to say you know, you can do smart cleanup,

672
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: which will just do this stuff for you, or you

673
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: can do one by one. It'll show you the pictures

674
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: side by side and you can decide. It'll say which

675
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: one it thinks is the better shot. You can choose

676
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: that and then move the other one to trash. So

677
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: that's number one. Then you've got my favorite, the heavies.

678
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: The heavies are your large files basically your large videos,

679
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: and so you can sort by your largest videos. And

680
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: this is just the feature that I don't think it's

681
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: built into the iPhone, but I wish it was. It's

682
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: built into Android, not iPhone. But you can sort your

683
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: videos by the largest So if you are having trouble

684
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: with taking new pictures on your phone, just literally go

685
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: to the heavies, delete the largest video files long as

686
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: you don't need it anymore, and that will get rid

687
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: of all that storage and free up space on your phone.

688
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: I've got my first one is seven gigs, second one

689
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: is seven gigs, third one is six gigs, five gigs,

690
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: five gigs, four gigs. So that's my recommendation. If you

691
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: need to free up storage fast. Then you've got the

692
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: screen shots. This is all the screen shots on your phone,

693
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: you take up all these screenshots. I've got one point

694
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: twenty nine gigabytes of screenshots on my phone. Guess what,

695
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: I probably don't need any of those. I can delete those.

696
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: Then you've got your lives so you can convert them

697
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: into a standard picture if you want to save space,

698
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: Like this live photo is twelve megabytes, twelve megabytes, ten megabytes.

699
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: You probably don't need all those.

700
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: And then you've got another feature in the middle, a

701
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,959
Speaker 1: Tinder like feature called swipe Photos, so it groups all

702
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: your photos by month, and then you can just swipe through.

703
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: So if I see this photo, I can swipe left

704
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: and it deletes it, swipe right to keep it, swipe

705
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: right to keep it, swipe right to keep it.

706
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: So you can do all that.

707
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: So this app is really really handy, and I just

708
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: love it, and I think it's one of those things

709
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: that once you discover it, you're gonna be like, oh

710
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: my gosh, now here is the caveat. You have to

711
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: understand if you are using iCloud to save your photos,

712
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: any changes you make inside this app, if you are

713
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: deleting photos, they will delete out of your eye cloud.

714
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: That is the way the iPhone works. It is a

715
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 1: mirror image of your camera roll. So let me repeat that.

716
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: If you go through and delete all your pictures and think, oh,

717
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm just clearing up the storage on my phone, no,

718
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: you will delete those out of your eCloud. So understand

719
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: that you are only deleting stuff that you do not

720
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: need ever again in your life. Okay, you have to

721
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: be very understanding of that. Now, if you are using

722
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: something like a Google Photos on your iPhone, if you

723
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: deleted these pictures, they're not going to delete out of

724
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: your Google Photos. So if you're just trying to clear

725
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: up space on your physical phone and not in the

726
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: cloud for Google Photos, you can also do this, but

727
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: just keep in mind your photos will stay in Google,

728
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: they will delete off your phone. So that's what you

729
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: need to know.

730
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: Again.

731
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: It is called Clever Cleaner, and it is available for

732
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: the iPhone and it is free no ads. And I

733
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: think this is really really cool. And the thing is,

734
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: you might say, Rich, the iPhone has a feature that

735
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: will show me my duplicates. It's right in the photos

736
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: app I got you. And I would say to you, well,

737
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: I'm glad you noticed that, because I don't think anyone

738
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: ever has but Apple literally only matches the exact file,

739
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: like if you have two of the exact same photos

740
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: somehow on your phone, this will find the similar photos

741
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: that are very very similar. There the logo looks like

742
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: it's like colorful and it looks like almost a circle

743
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: with like a little film and photos inside. But it's

744
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: only available for iPhone, not Android. Now, if you're on

745
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: Android and you want something, there are some things that

746
00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 1: are similar. There is one called Remo, which is let's

747
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: see Remo photos. I gotta find this, Oh gosh, oh,

748
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: I gotta find the photo, the duplicate photo.

749
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 2: Find you're on there.

750
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: But there is a an app that might be already

751
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: be on your phone, but it's called Files by Google.

752
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: And if you open up Files by Google or download

753
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: it again no ads, no in app purchases, you can

754
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: go in the upper left hand corner. They have a

755
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: feature called clean and that will show you your large files,

756
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: your unused apps, your your downloaded files. And that's an

757
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: easy way again to reclaim some storage on your Android phone.

758
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: If you're using Google Photos on your Android, literally just

759
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: press and hold on the Google Photos app and there's

760
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: an option that says free up space. And what that

761
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: does is it deletes all the photos off your phone,

762
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: but it keeps them in the clouds. You still have

763
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: a copy, but your phone storage is freed up. Anyway,

764
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: I've linked this all up on the website. Go to

Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology on

772
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: this labor day weekend. Yeah, we're working. I've worked a

773
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: lot of labor days in my life. And you know,

774
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: when I was in small market TV news back in

775
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: like Yakima, Washington, Shreveport, Louisiana, I would I would go

776
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: out and just like talk to people working on labor

777
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: day and it was just a fun story. You know,

778
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: when you're in these small markets for TV, you have

779
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: to come up with stories. They call it enterprising stories,

780
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 1: you know, enterprise reporter because nobody sits there and says

781
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: you know in big markets like New York, La, Chicago,

782
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: that you come in and they tell you what to

783
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: do this all right, you go there, you go there,

784
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: you go to that murder, you go to that whatever,

785
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: and it's all signed because there's so many big stories happening.

786
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: But when you're in a small market, there's nothing happening

787
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: that's you know, there's not a lot of big things happening.

788
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: And so they come in and they Okay, what do

789
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: you have for us today? And you got to come

790
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: in prepared. So I always came in. I was much

791
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: more of a creative reporter, and I still am. I mean,

792
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: obviously I cover technology now, but you know, I was

793
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: a much more creative I started out doing all the

794
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: dooming gloom stuff, you know, the wildfires, the murders, the arrests, whatever.

795
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: Like I was the guy at the top of the

796
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: six o'clock news for a while, and then I was like, eh,

797
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: I kind of like doing stuff, like a little bit

798
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: more creative. And so they asked me one day, They're like, hey,

799
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: our consumer reporter left. You want to do consumer reporting?

800
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: I said, no way. I said I'm not going to

801
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: be in the end of the newscast. And they said, well,

802
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: you get paid a little bit more money and you

803
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: get to be creative. And I was like, I'm in done.

804
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's been like that ever since. I mean

805
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: I always knew I wanted to be some sort of

806
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: business or technology reporter or correspondent, and so yeah, that's

807
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I always wanted to do. Anyway,

808
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: Why did I even talk about that?

809
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,400

Speaker 8: the android that got you know, quote unquote hacked. Yeah,

839
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 8: And it was just, you know, I listened to your

840
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 8: show and stuff and it's kind of strange. I just

841
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, I'm like, no way, but yeah,

842

Speaker 8: you know what, the same exact thing happened to me,

843
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 8: and it took me a while to figure it out,

844
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 8: but yeah, it's doable.

845
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:36,680

846
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,840

Speaker 1: hacked him right off.

851
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,520

00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 9: Uh.

853
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,520

00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 10: Great, listen, I have a question for you. And I

857
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 10: know you just got through giving us your information about

858
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 10: the phone photos, but what about what about putting out

859
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 10: my photos on my MacBook Pro? That is one of

860
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 10: my real porns on my side, trying to you know,

861
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 10: keep up with you know, duplicates and triple kiss. I mean,

862
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 10: there's a lot of mouth, there's a lot of different

863
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 10: maps that you can use, but you gotta be very

864
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 10: tripled with them. But you have a better, you know,

865
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 10: a better mousetrap, so to speak, for my my photos

866
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 10: on that.

867
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 9: Yeah.

868
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look, this is this is everyone's issue, and

869
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I went, I was at a Google

870
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: event probably it had to be eight years ago at

871
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: this point. It was when Google Photos was like just

872
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: coming up on the scene, and I talked to the

873
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: guy who invented it. Same was David. I mean, he's

874
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: not there anymore, but he you know, he was there

875
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: and he was like, I was like, dude, you did

876
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life with

877
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: this Google Photos. But why do you not have a

878
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: system to get rid of duplicates or similar photos?

879
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: Or anything like that. And I think I've come up

880
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: with the answer.

881
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: They actually don't want you like Google and Apple, why

882
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: would they want to build in a way to get

883
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: rid of your duplicates. They don't want to because then

884
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: you're using less cloud storage. So I totally understand that,

885
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: like why they're not it's a it's not a priority

886
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: and so, but it's frustrating because it's like, come on,

887
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: we have AI now, there should be no reason. And

888
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: I think that these AI apps are going to come

889
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: down the line that'll make this a lot easier. But

890
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: I will tell you the ones that I've tested that

891
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: I think work pretty well. I don't know if there's

892
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: a free version of this, but there's a website an

893
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: app that I've tried called Duplicate Duplicate Photos Fixer Duplicate

894
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: Photos Fixer, and it's available for the Mac, for Windows,

895
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: for Android, and iOS. And you know, they say they

896
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: use an algorithm. I don't know if they use AI

897
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: right now, they're just saying algorithm. But it will find

898
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: and scan those photos and identify the duplicates. So that's

899
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: a that's number one you can use that. Let's see

900
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: how much is it on the Mac?

901
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 4: Store.

902
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: It's got it's on the app store ninety nine, so

903
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's not a terrible price to pay.

904
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 10: No, I have seen that one also, Yeah, but go ahead.

905
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 7: What's the second one?

906
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: The other the other one that I've used, Now, this

907
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: is much more files and it.

908
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: Will work with your photos. But this is from MacPaw.

909
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: It's called Gemini too, and this is just if you

910
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: want to find duplicate files on your computer in general,

911
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: including photos. You can use this to scan, to scan

912
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: and get rid of those. And it does work with

913
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: your you know, your photos app and all that stuff.

914
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: But that's a great one. It's been around for a

915
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: long time. And that one, let's see how much that is. Oh,

916
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 1: they want to do like a monthly planed, so there's

917
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 1: probably a way of just buy a one time forty

918
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: five bucks.

919
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 8: I don't want to do a monthly time. Someone doing

920
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 8: one time deal, So what's the cost of that?

921
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 10: Or you wouldn't probably know about that.

922
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 11: I'm no longer and it.

923
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: Out No, I just looked. It's forty five dollars for that.

924
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: But they do have a free download so you can

925
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: scan and see how it works for free. Okay, I'm

926
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: looking let me see, those are the ones that I've tested.

927
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: The other one, let me see, I had one more,

928
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: Did I have it?

929
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 2: Nope? Those were the three that I liked.

930
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, those are the three that I like, or

931
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: the two that I like, plus the files by Google. Now,

932
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: if you're on you said you're on iCloud.

933
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 8: Un not like Cloud.

934
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 10: Yes, cob, I gotta pay money for the iCloud storage correct.

935
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so that I mean those are those are

936
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:27,959
Speaker 1: the two that I'd recommend for that I was gonna

937
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: say for Android. If you're using or if you're using

938
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 1: Google Cloud, Google does have a few tools to help

939
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: you clear up space in their cloud. If you go

940
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: to one dot Google dot com, you'll see it'll have

941
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: a thing that says a little a little tile that

942
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: says clean up space. And I've got five hundred and

943
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: ninety seven gigabytes I can clean up according to them.

944
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: And this will show you.

945
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: Uh and by the way, this is not necessarily ron

946
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: for you, but just for other people that are looking

947
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: for this, but it'll show me large photos and videos,

948
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: large drive files in my Google Drive, emails with large attachments.

949
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: I've got seven gigs of that, and then emails and

950
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: trash and it will help you clear out all that storage.

951
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 2: So they're not going to do this similar thing. Yeah,

952
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: that's one doctor will do in come.

953
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 10: One more thing and that is about emails. Another phone

954
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 10: on my side. Any type of suggestion sport for clearing

955
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 10: out email. I know you can go ahead and you

956
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 10: know a train and this type of thing. But is

957
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 10: there any any quick thing to.

958
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 8: Go on and just hit the people that you don't

959
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 8: want coming on email and get rid of them or no?

960
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you what I do.

961
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: So when I get an email that I want to

962
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: get rid of all the other similar emails, I just

963
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: take that and I make a filter with that email

964
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: address real quick, and then I just delete all those emails.

965
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: So if I'm trying to clear stuff out now, if

966
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: you're using Gmail, you know you can sort by the

967
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: large attachments. I'm sure the other email programs do that

968
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: as well, but you know there is no Here's the

969
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: thing when you're talking about when you're talking about personal data,

970
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily want something that just blasts through everything

971
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: and elite stuff very quickly because it's your data. So

972
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: if you're talking about email, how would it know what

973
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: emails that are important to you versus not important. There's

974
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: really no way of doing that. You have to go

975
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,959
Speaker 1: through them and see. Now you can say, like, okay,

976
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: all emails from my old boss, I don't need anymore,

977
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: and you can delete all those and maybe they had

978
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: attachments or all emails with a video attachment or a

979
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: photo attachment, I don't need anymore because I've saved those

980
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: somewhere else you can go through and do that. But really,

981
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: I think AI is going to help us with some

982
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: of this stuff in the future, but right now it's

983
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: just all over the place. There's these systems that get

984
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: access to your photos and videos and things like that

985
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: you have to be very careful with because you don't

986
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: want to make changes and delete stuff and never be

987
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: able to get those back. So a great question, Ron,

988
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in today. From Marina del Rey. Again,

989
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: I'll put all that on the website rich on tech

990
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: dot tv, including the one dot Google dot com. If

991
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: you have not visited that on your desktop, just go there.

992
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: If you're using Google Cloud storage, you have to go

993
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: there and just check out the options to clean up

994
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: your storage because and they have one too on the

995
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: inside Google Photos. If you go inside Google Photos and

996
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: tap on your profile picture in the upper right hand corner.

997
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 2: There is.

998
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: A setting if I go to let's see, I gotta

999
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: find where this is back up. They move it all

1000
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: the time. I think it's let's see is it photo settings?

1001
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,479
Speaker 2: Now? Okay? Great?

1002
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: Show rich just looking through things, and there is an

1003
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: option where they show you like your blurry photos and

1004
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 1: things like that, which is kind of cool.

1005
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 2: I'll fid oh here it is managed storage. There it is,

1006
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 2: so it'll show.

1007
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: You your large photos and videos, other apps, screenshots, and

1008
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: then blurry photos is my favorite. You just go through

1009
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: there and you can see all the blurry photos in

1010
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: your collection, and you can help you delete those as well.

1011
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: So anyway, look, this is an ongoing issue. The tech

1012
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: companies would rather you just not deal with this stuff

1013
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: and just keep buying more cloud storage, which is what

1014
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people end up doing. And so it's

1015
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: like anything else, you know, instead of cleaning up out

1016
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: your house, what do you do everything?

1017
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 2: They build.

1018
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: Every single building in my neighborhood that it used to

1019
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: be something else is now a storage facility like these

1020
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: you know these uh, these places where you just bring

1021
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: your junk and you storm like I have so much

1022
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: stuff in my garage I haven't touched in years. But

1023
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: instead of cleaning out my garage, what do you think

1024
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: eventually I would do. I'll be like, oh, let me

1025
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: just move this to a facility so I don't have

1026
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: to think about it. Once that stuff goes to that facility,

1027
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: You're never looking at it again.

1028
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: Let's be real here. I mean, it's just the way

1029
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: this stuff happens, all right.

1030
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: Eighty to eight rich one oh one eighty eight seven

1031
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one, the website, richon

1032
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: tech dot TV. Coming up, I will tell you about

1033
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: the the Apple event what we can expect on September ninth.

1034
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Okay, we got Darren

1035
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: back in Canyon Country. Darren, you were saying before you

1036
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: got cut off.

1037
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 2: That you had some shoes.

1038
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 8: So again, I've been on hold for a little bit now,

1039
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 8: and I'm telling you right now that they're still in

1040
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 8: control with my phone. So if I get cut off,

1041
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 8: you know, I'm telling the truth. I don't through the

1042
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 8: whole thing. I'm not extremely tech savvy. I love your show, though,

1043
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 8: but I went through the same exact thing, and the

1044
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 8: thing with like Android, the open source software a lot

1045
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 8: of that stuff. The hacker, I mean, I don't even

1046
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 8: call it hacking at this point. They there's special circumstances.

1047
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 8: In this case, it was a neighbor they have. It's

1048
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 8: a proximity thing. You need to be nearby, but they

1049
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 8: do need at one point, they need that access. So

1050
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 8: any chance you click on something accidentally, bad bad bat,

1051
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 8: they can get in there. But after they do get in,

1052
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 8: they can completely control your device from all these and

1053
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 8: you just got to know what apps to look for.

1054
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 8: That's the problem because a lot of them are just

1055
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 8: you know, utility apps that you would go, oh, well

1056
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 8: that belongs to it, because I need this to do

1057
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 8: my Bluetooth and that. But if they're at a level

1058
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 8: of you know, where they know what they're doing, and

1059
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 8: they're kind of this guy's posing. I don't know if

1060
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 8: it's legit or not, but he's posing as a developer

1061
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 8: at least I've kind of rabbit holed a few times

1062
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 8: and followed him all the way back down to you know,

1063
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 8: all the code websites and stuff like that, and you know,

1064
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 8: if he knows basic code, and he knows basic you know,

1065
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 8: his way around it. Once did do get in? Now

1066
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 8: that is true. They need an access point. But once

1067
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 8: they do get in, you can factory reach it. You

1068
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 8: can do anything you want. All he has to do

1069
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 8: is rewrite it where factory reset it. It just resets

1070
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 8: it back to his install. But yeah, it's fust I

1071
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 8: know how frustrating it is student because I was going

1072
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 8: through it. I'm like, I don't know what's going on,

1073
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 8: and uh, you know, I try to show people and

1074
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 8: they'd be like, I don't know, man, you're you sure?

1075
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 5: You all right?

1076
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 8: You know, it's like nothing's going on. So they it's

1077
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 8: not like obvious. You know, they're not going to be

1078
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 8: sitting there right in front of you doing it.

1079
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 2: You know that makes sense? What is there any app

1080
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: you can share that you know that under you?

1081
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 8: At this point, I've been through. This has gone on

1082
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 8: six months for me and it's still going on. But

1083
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 8: it's where I live, so I have to leave. That's

1084
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 8: where it's what it's come down to. They've basically gotten

1085
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 8: everything else they could at him. But that's the advice

1086
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 8: I would give to him is check his balluet connections

1087
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 8: seeing if he could catch him any.

1088
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 11: Weird, strange connections.

1089
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 8: That don't belong to because how he's doing is that

1090
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 8: he's using the mini utility mini controller and he's going

1091
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 8: into uh us E. He's remotely accessing my USP port

1092
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 8: and he's essentially after that. I mean the shell.

1093
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we're getting that into the weed here, Darren.

1094
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: I think for some of our for some of our listeners,

1095
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: I do, I really appreciate the uh uh sharing, but

1096
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: I I, you know, and I have to be the

1097
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: voice of reason here. I think I think that, you know,

1098
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 1: for the average person, I don't think this is something

1099
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: you need to you know, I don't think that most

1100
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 1: phones are being remotely controlled.

1101
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 7: Now.

1102
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: Are there ways of doing it, of course, and I

1103
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: think you should be aware that the number one sort

1104
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 1: of attack vector is really a text message.

1105
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: Through and through.

1106
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: This is how we've seen people get control of an

1107
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 1: iPhone or an Android. It all comes down to text

1108
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: messages and something that is exploited. And this is why

1109
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: I talk about making sure you update your software, because

1110
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: here's what happens. And this is why when we hear

1111
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: about these manufacturers nowadays saying, yeah, we're gonna give you

1112
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: seven years of security updates, why is that so important?

1113
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,240
Speaker 1: Because when your phone is not getting those security updates

1114
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: or your computer or your tablet, your laptop, whatever it is.

1115
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: If they're not getting security updates, there are basically just

1116
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 1: imagine open holes to your device that hackers can get into,

1117
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: or anyone that's nefarious that wants to do something. They

1118
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: use what's called an exploit, a known issue or opening

1119
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: on your device that they can get in through. And

1120
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: what do they do with security updates? They patch these holes.

1121
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 1: That's why they call them patches. They patch these issues

1122
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: that are all inside every piece of software. And we're

1123
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: just humans coding software, at least for now. I mean

1124
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: AI is doing that too, But there's always mistakes and

1125
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: there's always something someone didn't think about, and so we

1126
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: as the final line of defense, have to look at

1127
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: what we are clicking, what we are downloading, what we

1128
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: are installing. It happens every single day. People install malware

1129
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: on their computers on their phones, you know, and it's

1130
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: less of a problem on the iPhone just due to

1131
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: the architecture of that operating system. But this is why

1132
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: you always hear about so many issues with Windows computers

1133
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: because you can install things on there very easily. And

1134
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: the way Apple does stuff on the iPhone is it's

1135
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: all locked down, and Android sounding like they're going to

1136
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: start locking it down more too in the future, so

1137
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: that not just anything could be installed easily. But you know,

1138
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: as a as a regular person that's listening to me

1139
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: right now, I would say, you know, go through your

1140
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: list of apps, get rid of anything you don't need,

1141
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: update your software, update your apps, update your operating system software.

1142
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: And if your phone is no longer getting updates, you're

1143
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: at risk. Bottom line, you're at risk in many, many ways.

1144
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: I would do any banking. I wanna do anything private

1145
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: or personal on there. Eighty to eight rich one oh

Speaker 4: Show's going great. We're having a marathon for Labor Day,

1180
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 4: oh on one of those classic TV marathons from eight

1181
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 4: in the morning till eleven thirty that's Eastern time. We're

1182

00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 4: Walks Awards, which is actually going to be running tomorrow

1185
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 4: because answering the question that so many people have asked me, Hey,

1186
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 4: you know you've been all over the place where it's

1187
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 4: the greatest place you went to, the one greatest place

1188
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 4: you went through, which is really impossible to think to answer,

1189
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 4: and so I came up with thirty categories best small town,

1190
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 4: best drive, best back road, best food, best dessert, YadA, YadA, YadA.

00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 4: running tomorrow Sunday at ten am Eastern and then it

1193
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 4: will be replaying in the marathon.

1194
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so you got the marathon on scripts, check your

1195
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: check your local listings for that. And so you're doing

1196
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: the show, what have you found along the way, like,

1197
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: what are your what are some of your you had

1198
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 1: this tip you did in your newsletter the other a

1199
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. This find my situation. So you

1200
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: lost your or your wife lost her phone and you're

1201
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: trying to locate it, but you had some issues.

1202
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 2: Tell me about that.

1203
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 4: It's pretty simple. You have this wonderful thing. It's called

1204
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 4: find my. You lose your phone, you just click it,

1205
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 4: click on it, and you find it and they have

1206
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 4: a map and they have a tone, and it's wonderful.

1207
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 4: But what happens when the wife loses her phone and

1208
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 4: you try to use fine my on your phone to

1209
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 4: find her phone and you're in another country. Doesn't work

1210
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 4: so well because they asked for two factor authentication and

1211
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 4: you can't do factor on a phone that doesn't get

1212
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 4: the text. So I was on my phone going to

1213
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 4: iCloud dot com to get to find my. It turns

1214
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 4: out if I'd gone to iCloud dot com slash find,

1215
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have gotten hit with the two factor authentication.

1216
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 2: Now how'd you figure that out?

1217
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 4: A lot of trial and error, a lot of chat GPT,

1218
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 4: a lot of talking to Apple on the phone, And

1219
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 4: that's what I came up with. Also, you all all

1220
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 4: of us spouses and partners and everything. Need to put

1221
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 4: our phone numbers in the other person's find my to

1222
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 4: be accepted in a trusted person so that I could

1223
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 4: get her texts.

1224
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: Wait wait, oh, I see what you're saying, so put

1225
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: those in there as well.

1226
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: So okay.

1227
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: The website is iCloud dot com slash find, and then

1228
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: the other one for Google. They also have a similar one,

1229
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: so you can go to Google dot com. I'm trying

1230
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: to find the shortcut. I know there's a Google dot

1231
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: com or is it Android dot com slash find. There's

1232
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: a way to do this on Google as well. But

1233
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: you okay, I'll let you talk while I search for this.

1234
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: So okay, So you had that tip, so that's a

1235
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: good one that was in your newsletter. And then the

1236
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: other thing is the iPhone seventeen. I just talked about it.

1237
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 3: Yes, you did.

1238
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: What I mean?

1239
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 2: What can they improve on this camera? If anything? Okay,

1240
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 2: you got your How about ten? I got ten features?

1241
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Okay.

1242
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 4: Tim Cook does not listen to me, but if he was,

1243
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 4: the first thing is we need to fix the telephoto lens,

1244
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,919
Speaker 4: the five X, which is is very on and off.

1245
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's sharp, sometimes it's awful. Sometimes it's just absolutely terrible,

1246
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 4: and that could be in good light or bed light.

1247
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 4: I don't know why it is not consistent.

1248
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: It's where sometimes it doesn't snap into the five X

1249
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: it does like optical or something weird.

1250
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: I've seen it.

1251
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, and sometimes it's sharp, sometimes it's not. So

1252
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 4: I want to fix that. The second thing, I want

1253
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 4: to remove that horrible digital zoom wheel that pops up

1254
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 4: that is not wanted.

1255
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 2: I hate that.

1256
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 4: I want to get rid of that. We want to

1257
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 4: ditch the camera control button, which was introduced last year,

1258
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 4: and it's just a total waste.

1259
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: Like what, I love the camera control button? What are

1260
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: you talking about? It's the only way I've actually it

1261
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: gave me a whole other icon on my home screen.

1262
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: Freed it up because I only use that to launch

1263
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: the camera. I'll tell you what I don't like about it.

1264
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: When you launch it, if you run your hand over it,

1265
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: it changes the ev what is that the exposure? Yeah,

1266
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: and if you do that, there's no way to like

1267
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: quickly reset it that I can tell. And so all

1268
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm snapping a whole bunch of pictures

1269
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: at like negative point zero three or something, and I'm like,

1270
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: wait a second, what's going on here anyway?

1271
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 2: But I love that thing. Okay, I'm glad you do.

1272
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 4: I want to fix the time lapse setting, which is

1273
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 4: all automatic that if you I don't know if most

1274
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 4: people realize this, but if you let the time lapse

1275
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 4: go for an hour, two hours, three hours, four hours,

1276
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 4: one day, two days, three days a week, I've done it.

1277
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 4: All the clip will be thirty seconds.

1278
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1279
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: I only know that because you you mentioned it in

1280
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: your newsletter. Yeah, you love your time lapses.

1281
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 2: So what does it?

1282
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: What Samsung does unlimited time laps or what? There must

1283
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: be a limit somewhere.

1284
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 4: Samsung and Google have unlimited. And then if you use

1285
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 4: the black Magic app, that's your way around it and

1286
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 4: you can set it there. Okay, and the blue which

1287
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 4: is free black Manchic camera. Just fix the distortion on

1288
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 4: the point five which can be distorted.

1289
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 3: As you know.

1290
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 4: We want to fix the low light. They've been hearing

1291
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 4: about this for so many years. Oh, the camera's way

1292
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 4: better and low light it is not, it is not,

1293
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 4: you know, and it's it's great in daytime. It's great

1294
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 4: always in daytime. And my recommendation about low light is

1295
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 4: to use the one x lens that is the sharpest

1296
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 4: and that is the best in low light. The point

1297
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 4: five not so good, and the fight X not so good.

1298
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 4: Lens flair. We've all had the problem with shooting a sunset.

1299
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,439
Speaker 4: We get a green dot in our sunset shots. Want

1300
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 4: to fix that or tell me a way that I

1301
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 4: can get a lens hood for the iPhone?

1302
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 2: Oh, that is the worst.

1303
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: Anytime you shoot anything with lights, like a concert, football game, whatever, stadium,

1304
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: it's just like there's a million other lights all over.

1305
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: It's like some sort of refracting thing that's going on

1306
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: in the iPhone.

1307
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so number eight, the flash, I don't think you

1308
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 4: could ever fix, but maybe find a way that I

1309
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 4: could use an external flash something, because the flash is terrible.

1310
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 4: Makes you look like you're lit by a blowtorch.

1311
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: You say, when you say external flash, all I get

1312
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: in my head is the nineteen thirties person with like

1313
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: the flash that they hold up. They're like the one

1314
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: that literally made like smoke when you press it. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1315
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: you can see what I use. But that's not happening.

1316
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: They're they're Jefferson. They're not gonna they're not gonna put

1317
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: an external flash for the other phone.

1318
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 4: Connect to an external flash. You'll be the option to

1319
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 4: do that. There's one external flash that exists. It's made

1320
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 4: by pro Photo itself worth one thousand dollars.

1321
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 2: No one's doing that.

1322
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 4: Okay, UM, make night mode understandable to the average person.

1323
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 4: Night mode is is what goes on when it's dark,

1324
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 4: totally automatic. You can't wish it on. It only comes

1325
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 4: on when it wants to, and the common person does

1326
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 4: not cannot figure it out. Make it easier to understand

1327
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 4: because nightmode is actually really good. The last one can

1328
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 4: I don't think it's fixable. You know, to bounce when

1329
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 4: when we walk down the street and we're shooting at

1330
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 4: the same time, no matter what we're bouncing. You could

1331
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 4: use a gimbal, you could use it this, you could

1332
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 4: use it that. But we're always bouncing. Is there a

1333
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 4: way to fix the balance, because I'd love to see it.

1334
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

1335
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: By the way, I found the website for the Android

1336
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: side of things. It's Android dot com slash find. So

1337
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: write these down if you have an iPhone iCloud dot

1338
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: com slash find, Android dot com slash find, and you

1339
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: can do that. You can also say hey, Google, find

1340
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: my phone, and I believe it will locate it as well.

1341
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 2: Now I've just did that.

1342
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 4: But but but put your phone numbers into the settings

1343

Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty places where he's had an ice

1392
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: cream cone, and he said, Greaters is the best he's

1393
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: ever had in Cincinnati.

1394
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 2: G And by the way, it's spelled g r a

1395
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 2: e t e r s. So g R a e

1396
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 2: T e r s.

1397
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: And they ship nationwide. I mean, it's weird to get

1398
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: ice cream delivered to your house.

1399
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 2: How do you do that?

1400
01:05:58,320 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: Like it must it must be like in one of

1401
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: the Frozen I mean, how much is this shipping to

1402
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: get ice cream delivered? You're probably better off just going

1403
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: to the store, like just making a trip to Cincinnati.

1404
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: So are they only in Cincinnati? Let's see, Yeah, it

1405
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: looks like it interesting. Well, they have a whole bunch

1406
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: though there. Oh no, they're not just in Cincinnati. Hold on, okay,

1407
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: they're in Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, Lexington, Louisville, Northern Kentucky, Oxford,

1408
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

1409
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 2: So they have them in a lot of places. But

1410
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 2: now you know, put it on your list. G R

1411
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 2: A E T e r s.

1412
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: And if you're using my little system of saving things.

1413
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: You can go into Google Keep and you can just

1414
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: tell Google Gemini AI like, hey, this is the best

1415
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: ice cream cone, and then later on you can ask Gemini, hey,

1416
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: check my notes for what did I say it was

1417
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: the best ice cream place, and it'll say what you

1418
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: just did. Or the other way to do it iPhone

1419
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Android is just use your Maps app and start saving stuff.

1420
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: There's a little option when you when you type something

1421
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: in that it says safe and so they're like under

1422
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: anything that you search for if you look at the

1423
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: top and Google Maps, it says safe. And you can

1424
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: just make lists. I make tons of these lists when

1425
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: I go on vacation. If I'm going to a different city,

1426
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: someone tells me something, you can make all kinds of

1427
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,959
Speaker 1: lists on there. iPhone has it as well with Apple Maps.

1428
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: They've got it too. All right, let's go to Margie

1429
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: in Fullerton.

1430
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 2: You are on with Rich.

1431
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 12: Yes, Hi, Rich, thank you. I wanted to know if

1432
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 12: there anything out there that I have a couple of

1433
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 12: story ideas that I want to put together with like

1434
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 12: an AI, you know, device that can literally kick my tick,

1435
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:49,439
Speaker 12: give me a video, give me some conversation and even

1436
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 12: music if possible. Is there any any platform or app

1437
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 12: that you can literally just give it a text thing,

1438
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 12: you know, it's about Rich and Margie talking on you know,

1439
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 12: the radio show, and then it actually will do those

1440
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 12: three or four different things for completed two to three

1441
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 12: minutes video.

1442
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 13: Uh.

1443
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 1: Look, there are a lot of tools that can do

1444
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: something like this. Are these Is this like real life

1445
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: or is this animation?

1446
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 8: Like?

1447
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 2: What do you want it to look like?

1448
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 9: Animation?

1449
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 7: Oh?

1450
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:18,799
Speaker 2: Animation?

1451
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean there are so many tools that can

1452
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: do this. I will I will just spoiler alert if

1453
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 1: you do that, it's gonna look horrible, like it's just

1454
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: it's you can you can do pieces of this using

1455
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: these tools, But at the end of the day, it's

1456
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: gonna be really tough to just put in one group

1457
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: of text and say, tell this story of Rich walking

1458
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: down the street and a giant dinosaur comes up from

1459
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: behind and you know, takes over the sun and you know,

1460
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: it all goes dark or something like.

1461
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 2: It can do parts.

1462
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: I know, the worst story ever. I don't even know

1463
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: what that was, laughing. What kind of dark story is that?

1464
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't even understand, Like, that's the weirdest story. This

1465
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: is why I don't tell my kids bedtime stories like

1466
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 1: that is like, I don't know, stick to the.

1467
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 2: Three Little Bears or whatever little Red Robbin Little Red

1468
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 2: Robin hood is that it.

1469
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1470
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm bad with the stories. I have sang my kids

1471
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: the same three songs to bed for fourteen years.

1472
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 3: Now.

1473
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: My kid who's fourteen years old, I kid you not,

1474
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna be so embarrassed if he ever hears this.

1475
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: I sing him the same three songs that I've sang

1476
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: him since he was born, and it is Twinkle Twinkle,

1477
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Little Star, ABC D E FG and Kumbayah. Those are

1478
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: the three every single night, I mean, if when I'm home,

1479
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: and you know, doing that with stuff anyway. So the

1480
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: tools to do stuff like this number one I would

1481
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: check out if I would assume, Margie, you want to

1482
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,719
Speaker 1: start out with free, so I would check out Adobe Express.

1483
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: These are sort of beginner tools Adobe Express. You know,

1484
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 1: there's this thing called Canva out there that basically has

1485
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: taken over the creativity in all the world, and they

1486
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: have stuff that does this as well. But Adobe Express

1487
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: is sort of Adobe who is the eight hundred pound

1488
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: gorilla in the room. They were always the number one

1489
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: traditional company for anything animation and video and photography. And

1490
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: then Canva came along and kind of just swept the

1491
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: rug underneath their feet for like the average consumer, right,

1492
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,560
Speaker 1: and so Adobe has had to kind of regroup, and

1493
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: don't cry for Adobe. They're still doing pretty well, but

1494
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, so they came up with this thing called

1495
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: Adobe Express that I don't think anyone knows about Adobe

1496
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 1: dot com slash Express, and they let you do all

1497
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff on there, like I'm talking everything, and

1498
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 1: one of them is specifically animate your voice for free,

1499
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: make an animated character from your own voice using Adobe Express.

1500
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: Start now and you can do it. Shows a little frog,

1501
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: the anime, add your voice and it will make the

1502
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:53,759
Speaker 1: animation for you. So that's number one Adobe Express animated character.

1503
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: And then they have by the way, I would just

1504
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: bookmark Adobe Express. They've got so many tools on there

1505
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: that are free that you can use and it's it's

1506
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: really really good. Number two there is let's see, there

1507
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: is an app called Animaker a n I M a

1508
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: k E r Ani maker, and I don't know how

1509
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: free this is. Let's see pricing. You can usually these

1510
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: things are you start for free and then you can

1511
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: eventually pay this. It looks like they have some free level,

1512
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,680
Speaker 1: but if you want to do something that's basic, you

1513
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: got to pay fifteen dollars a month. The other thing

1514
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: I would recommend is really check out Google Vo. They

1515
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: are like, really, this is what I was talking about

1516
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: with with the Wizard of Oz. But if you just

1517
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: go on Gemini and just just check out Google Vo,

1518
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,560
Speaker 1: you can make all kinds of stuff on there with

1519
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:47,839
Speaker 1: audio as well. It may not do the like talking

1520
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: that you wanted, but and this only goes up to

1521
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: eight seconds, but it's pretty incredible. VO three is there,

1522
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: so you can do that. And then Google has one

1523
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 1: called Google Flow.

1524
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:58,839
Speaker 2: I think it's called.

1525
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: Google Flow AI Animated Animation and look at you can

1526
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: try flow free of charge with one hundred monthly credits.

1527
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: So that's brand new. So Flow vo, the Adobe, the animaker.

1528
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: You got a lot of places to start there. The

1529
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: other one is eleven Labs for voice stuff. That one's

1530
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: really good as well. I'll link it all up on

1531
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: the website. Margie rich on tech dot TV. Coming up,

1562
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: this happened to me and I was driving me nuts.

1563
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 1: When I tell you, John, this was driving me insane.

1564
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: Every day I would lose Wi Fi. And I am

1565
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: a tech person and so I knew everything was in order,

1566
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: all my stuff was working. I called up AT and T.

1567
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: They had never heard of this. They could not believe it.

1568
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not kidding.

1569
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 2: It took a guy. He come, He comes out to

1570
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 2: the house and he said, there's nothing wrong.

1571
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: There's absolutely nothing wrong with your internet from anywhere I'm talking.

1572
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, you're gonna have to I'm gonna switch

1573
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: carriers at this point because it's I can't deal with this.

1574
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 2: And he said.

1575
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: I looked at every line. I went on the pole,

1576
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: I went there, I went here, under the house. Nothing,

1577
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: he said. But here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna

1578
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: come back when it goes out at three pm, like

1579
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 1: you say, and I'm gonna do some tests. And sure enough,

1580
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 1: there was some sort of filter, I don't know what

1581
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 1: they call it, low band, HIGHBA whatever filter they had

1582
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: on the line was defective and so it fails when

1583
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why it would fail every day at three,

1584
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 1: but it just did. And there's probably part of this

1585
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,560
Speaker 1: story I'm not understanding, but this is what they told me.

1586
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: But basically it was their issue. So that is my

1587
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,760
Speaker 1: advice to you. So, so you know, do you have

1588
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: everything set up properly? Like are using their router with

1589
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 1: their internet or using their I'm.

1590
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 5: Paying for it.

1591
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 13: I had.

1592
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,560
Speaker 9: I've had it for about five years. I changed apartments

1593
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 9: from upstairs to downstairs, and after I changed downstairs, I've

1594
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 9: been having problems.

1595
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: Oh you, Oh well see that's different. You change something, John,

1596
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: what did you change?

1597
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 4: No?

1598
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 9: Well, they came in and they the guy came No,

1599
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 9: he he moved the router from upstairs to downstairs. But

1600
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 9: it's their router. Excise me me. The guy came out

1601
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 9: physically when I moved apartments from upstairs to downstairs.

1602
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 2: Okay, but it's their router.

1603
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: I've done nothing wrong, okay, I'm well, no, no, I don't.

1604
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: I don't think you did anything wrong. But okay, so

1605
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: what is happening exactly? Does your internet go out?

1606
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 7: Like?

1607
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 2: Is it intermit in at certain times?

1608
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1609
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 9: It just I get in a note it says no,

1610
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 9: no more internet no Internet unavailable.

1611
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: Okay, well that sounds like the problem I had because

1612
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,440
Speaker 1: the system was fine and it works it works other.

1613
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 9: Times, right if I if I decide to leave AT

1614
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 9: and D, is there another company that you recommend this better?

1615
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 4: Well? See that?

1616
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: Look a number one AT and T Fiber is amazing

1617
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: because I'm assuming you're getting like a very high download

1618
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: and upload speed.

1619
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 7: Right, well, I hope I am who knows?

1620
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 2: Well, what are you paying for?

1621
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 3: I who know?

1622
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 8: Right day?

1623
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 1: For Well, here's the deal. Here's what I would do

1624
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: in your case, I would call AT and T. You're

1625
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: paying to rent this modem and Wi Fi from them,

1626
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: That means it is their issue. You have to call

1627
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 1: them and say, look, I need someone to come out

1628
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: here and investigate this because it has worked for many years.

1629
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 1: I've had this thing for five years. I'm paying you

1630
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 1: guys every month ten dollars a month for this whatever

1631
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 1: it is, and I need you to come out and

1632
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: fix it. And if you don't fix it, I'm switching.

1633
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: And by the way, here's all the other people I.

1634
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 2: Can switch to.

1635
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: You've got options. Not only do you you may have

1636
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: another wired option in your area, but you also have

1637
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 1: wireless options. So The two wireless options are T Mobile,

1638
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: T Mobile five G Home and then you've got Verizon

1639
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 1: five G Home. And these are just boxes john that

1640
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: you literally they fedexit to you or whatever they overnight

1641
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: it to you. You open the box, you plug it in,

1642
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: it finds a cellular signal and it re broadcasts that

1643
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 1: cellular signal as your Wi Fi signal. So the main

1644
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 1: caveat to get this five G home Internet from one

1645
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: of these companies T Mobile or Verizon is you have

1646
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: to have a good signal in your apartment from them.

1647
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know which phone you have, whether it's

1648
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: Verizon AT and T or T Mobile, But if you

1649
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: have T Mobile and you have got a great signal there,

1650
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: go ahead get the T Mobile Internet. But first I

1651
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: would always recommend going with wired internet because it's going

1652
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 1: to be the most reliable, it's going to be the fastest.

1653
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: So I would call AT and T see if you

1654
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: can get this resolved. If you can't, you just got

1655
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: to move. You gotta switch. And there's another way to test.

1656
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:03,600
Speaker 1: Speed tests and let's see. Let's see speed test. They

1657
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:04,840
Speaker 1: have like an ISP.

1658
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 2: I gotta find it.

1659
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 1: They have a website where they tell you basically all

1660
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:14,719
Speaker 1: the different providers in your area. So it's called speed test.

1661
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: Just search best Internet providers and it will give you

1662
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: a list. You pop in your zip code and I'll

1663
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: give you a list of every single provider that has

1664
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 1: service in your area. We're talking, you know, at the

1665
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: and you can go with starlink if you need it.

1666
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: If you if you really had no other options, you

1667
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: can go at starlink anyway. I'll put the link on

1668
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 1: the website for that. Richon tech dot TV. Give me

1669
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 1: a call back, John, or send me an email let

1670

Speaker 1: me know the update on that. I think this is

1671
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,560
Speaker 1: an easy question from Ed in rialto Ed.

01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: waiting for it to come to Android. It is the

1698
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: most incredible voice dictator you will ever use because it

1699
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 1: not only does voice to text, it uses AI to

1700
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying and polish what you're saying. Yes,

1701
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: and it is so you get two thousand You don't

1702
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: even have to it's free to sign up. You get

1703
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: two thousand words I think a week or a month,

1704
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: whatever it is. If you hit that limit, you'll have

1705
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 1: to pay. I think if you try this you will

1706
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: just absolutely fall in love with it. It is truly incredible.

1707
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 14: Oh it's not even a box program with the DBD

1708
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 14: or something.

1709
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: No, this is just go online, download it to your

1710
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: computer and you'll be up and running in seconds. I

1711
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: think we had them on here on the show, but

1712
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 1: they it's just incredible. So the other thing I would

1713
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 1: recommend to use Gmail or.

1714
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 14: No, I forget the passwords so easy I can try

1715
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:49,719
Speaker 14: to open another account.

1716
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just there's another feature in Gmail that I'm

1717
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: really coming to love, and it's called Polish your Email.

1718
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: And so what happens is I do a one two punch.

1719
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,720
Speaker 1: I used Whisper to dictate my emails, and then you

1720
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: tap this little there's a little tiny icon in your

1721
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 1: Gmail window looks like a pencil with a little AI star,

1722
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: and it's called help me Write. Once you type your email,

1723
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: you then tap that little icon and it polishes what

1724
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 1: you just wrote and no matter. You could write a

1725
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: whole bunch of nonsense and it will make it sensical

1726
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: and amazing and clean up all the punctuation and all

1727
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's like the most the best hidden feature

1728
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: ever on Gmail that I don't understand. Why it took

1729
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 1: me a year to start using it and it's been

1730
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: around for a bit. But anyway, those are the two things.

1731
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 6: Ed.

1732
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 1: Definitely check out whisper flow wisprflow dot ai.

1733
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 2: That's the website for that.

1734
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 14: Oh I got that part.

1735
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, make sure you get the right one cause I'm

1736
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,640
Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of imposters out there, so be

1737
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: careful and I'll link it up on the website rich

1738
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: on tech dot tv.

1739
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 5: But I can blow that up.

1740
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: There you go, There you go, Ed, Thank you so much.

1741
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: All right, look at this solving problems, changing lives.

1742
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 2: What else can we do today? How much longer do

1743
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 2: I have? Bobo?

1744
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 10: Oh?

1745
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:14,759
Speaker 2: How many more things can we do in a minute?

1746
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 2: Let's see.

1747
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll tell you about this, and Jim, I see

1748
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: you holding on there. We'll get you after the break.

1749
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 1: Verizon has a new feature called family Line, and this

1750
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,560
Speaker 1: article in PC mag written by my friend Rob Pegoraro,

1751
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: he says this Verizon new family Line is part of

1752
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 1: its Family Plus bundle. It's a virtual home phone number

1753
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: that can ring up to five different smartphones, and family

1754
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,599
Speaker 1: members can also call from it or join a call

1755
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: in progress. So the main thing, he says, the caveat

1756
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: is that you can't port in an existing landline number.

1757
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand why that would make a lot of sense.

1758
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: Only new numbers you can get on this Verizon will

1759
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: try to match your area code some places that may

1760
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: not be possible. If you have one of these numbers,

1761
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: you can can pourt it out to a different carrier.

1762
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 1: But it's I looked this up, this this feature, and

1763
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 1: it's like ten dollars a month if you have Verizon

1764
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:09,719
Speaker 1: on one of their good plans.

1765
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 2: But here's what I don't know.

1766
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: I don't understand if it just rings the different lines

1767
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,679
Speaker 1: or if it assigns that phone number like it sounds

1768
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: like it's Google Voice, because Google Voice you could just

1769
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: assign it to call five phones or whatever however many

1770
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: phones you want at once. But it's interesting that you

1771
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: can call from it as well. And I couldn't find

1772
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: a lot of information about this online. But if you're

1773
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: trying to find a phone number that you can have

1774
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: for your family line, Verizon's got something that sort of

1775
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: sounds like it would work. But also check out Google

1776
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: Voice as well. All right, eight eight eight rich one

1777
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 1: on one. Oh sorry, Kim rich on tech dot tv.

1778
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 1: Is the website email is still open?

Speaker 7: about all their security woes which will never end.

1797
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 2: Right, No, that will never end.

1798
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 1: This is uh, you know, it's it's it's wild because

Speaker 1: you know, people email me and text me all the

1800
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 1: time with like things that happen to them, and it's

1801
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:44,719
Speaker 1: it's it happens all the time. People still, Yeah, it's ongoing.

1802
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: So anyway, what's what can I help you with?

1803
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 7: That's why you're around. Thank you for that. Yeah, you

1804
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 7: know I had a way to go on the Whisper Flow.

1805
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 7: I totally agree with that too. I had a coome

1806
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 7: question about personal uh personal hotspots on you I use

1807
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 7: and it in iPhone and I have, uh, you know,

1808
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 7: use my iPhone as a hotspot, and I just want

1809
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 7: to know how safe that is. And I remember somewhere

1810
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 7: it's either on Android or iPhone where I could specify

1811
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 7: the number of devices being used so that no one

1812
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,720
Speaker 7: else could even get on the on the on the

1813
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 7: on the line, and if I should make it hidden

1814
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 7: to make it even safer. Also, my brother on the

1815
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 7: US coast is asking me about UBK if you should

1816
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 7: use it for his phone because he hates face id.

1817
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 2: Hmm.

1818
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: Okay, well let's break down the first question about the

1819
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 1: hot spots. So on iPhone number one, I think hotspot

1820
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 1: is pretty secure. I don't think there's like a major

1821
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 1: security risk in using it, but you're right, it does

1822
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 1: potentially broadcast out your information. So I would say, when

1823
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: you're creating your hot spot, maybe use a name that

1824
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: is not you know, that is not something that's identifiable.

1825
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 2: Right on Android, you can you can change.

1826
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this, okay, So it allows it

1827
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: looks like on my iPhone, uses the name of your

1828
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 1: iPhone as your hotspot setting, so as your you know name,

1829
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: which you can go in and change the name of

1830
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: your iPhone if it says anything super personal.

1831
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 9: I used to have that.

1832
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I have mine as Rich's iPhone dot exe, and

1833
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: that really that really kept people away because you know,

1834
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: no one wants to click on an exc file.

1835
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 2: So that's number one.

1836
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 1: Now on Android, you get a lot more options because

1837
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: they give you just a lot more of like personalization

1838
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 1: and things like that.

1839
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 2: So i'd have to go in here.

1840
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the pixel specifically, let's see hotspot and tethering.

1841
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: So they give you a whole bunch of options, like

1842
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: your name you can set in there, you can set

1843
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,599
Speaker 1: your security, you can set your password, you can turn

1844
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: off the hotspot automatically when no one is connected.

1845
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 7: Uh.

1846
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 2: Speed and compatibility you can do that as well.

1847
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 1: And then instant hotspot, which is kind of a feature

1848
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 1: if you have another Android device, it can latch on

1849
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:56,839
Speaker 1: to that hot spot instantly.

1850
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 7: Right.

1851
01:26:57,360 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 2: iPhone is something similar, but long story.

1852
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:01,679
Speaker 7: Short, make the hidden right, so when you're out working

1853
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 7: in a public area like a New York let's say

1854
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:04,799
Speaker 7: a coffee bar as an example.

1855
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not a way that I see to make

1856
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: it hidden on the iPhone or Android.

1857
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 2: But here's the deal.

1858
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 1: As long as you have a good password, I don't

1859
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: think that people are gonna be able to latch in.

1860
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,759
Speaker 1: And on the iPhone, I believe, and and on Android

1861
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 1: it tells you when someone's connected. So if you are

1862
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 1: and on Android specifically, it'll tell you, I believe. On

1863
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: Samsung it shows you, like the name of the device,

1864
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 1: I believe that's connected. So I think that may be something.

1865
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: So what are you running? You're running iPhone or Android

1866
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: or both?

1867
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 7: I both. I have Chrome, he's a Chromebook when I'm

1868
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 7: ountain about, but I also have the Pixel, and I

1869
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 7: have the I have a special edition as a work phone,

1870
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 7: and then I have the thirteen.

1871
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, you've got a lot of stuff. Well what

1872
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 2: I would do.

1873
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 1: What I would do then for the Pixel is look

1874
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: in your hotspot and that instant hot spot. That might

1875
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: be the best way to do it. And that way

1876
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,640
Speaker 1: it will just know when your Chromebook is nearby. It

1877
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: will say, hey, do you want to connect your Pixel?

1878
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: And it won't as far as I can tell. You

1879
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: can still have your hot spot off and it will

1880
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: still the instant hot spot will still trigger when you

1881
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 1: bring your your Chromebook nearby. So that's one way of

1882
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: making it a little bit more secure. But I think

1883
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: in general, as long as you have a good, strong

1884
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: password on your hot spot, you know, it's like anything else. Sure,

1885
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 1: there's a potential, but is it you know, is it

1886
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 1: going to happen? Probably?

1887
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 4: Not.

1888
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 1: Like I think you should be okay there now with

1889
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: the Yuba key. Is that that you're talking about, like

1890
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: the physical security key?

1891
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 7: Yeah? I like I agree with him in ways, like

1892
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 7: sometimes it's just jankee to use the face ID when

1893
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 7: you really need it. But he also has bigger privacy

1894
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 7: concerns than I. He's on He's on Android only and

1895
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 7: in this whole household is Android. But I mentioned it,

1896
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 7: He's like, what if I lose the key, I should

1897
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 7: always buy two?

1898
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, have a backup.

1899
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I mean I don't even know that they're

1900
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 7: available on phones.

1901
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 2: Are they? Yes?

1902
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 1: They are, and and I yes, I know. I will

1903
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 1: tell you they've been pushing these for a while. I

1904
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: have not personally tested it because I'll be completely honest,

1905
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 1: I think the past keys are kind of taking over

1906
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:07,360
Speaker 1: the UBI keys. But here's the thing, before you send

1907
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: me angry emails, not you, But in general, I think

1908
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: that in general, this is probably one of the most

1909
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 1: secure ways to protect your identity because it's a third

1910
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: party hardware key like this is something physical that if

1911
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 1: you don't plug it into your phone, you're not gonna

1912
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:26,639
Speaker 1: be able to log in. And so that's why people

1913
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 1: sort of like it. And I think it's it's not

1914
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 1: for the average person. I think it's a little bit

1915
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 1: more intermediate to advanced, and so I would recommend it

1916
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 1: for that, but I think I think maybe tell them

1917
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: to check out the past keys to try those. But yes,

1918
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: I agree, the whole login process is definitely contoluted. All right,

1919
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Jim, appreciate it. Coming up, we're

1920
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk quantum computing.

1921
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna get really techy and nerdy.

1922
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 1: Here here we go, Welcome back to rich on Tech

1923
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:59,600
Speaker 1: rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology the

1924
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 1: webs site rich on tech dot TV. I know I've

1925
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 1: told you a lot of stuff today, a lot of

1926
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 1: great tips and tricks. It is all linked up on

1927
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: the website. This is episode one three seven, So if

1928
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,800
Speaker 1: you want anything I mentioned, I promise you it is

1929
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: all there and easy to get linked whether it's the projectors,

1930
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 1: the two factor authentication app, I mentioned how to clean

1931
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 1: up your iPhone. Even the ice cream that we mentioned

1932
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:29,080
Speaker 1: that was so delicious, which, by the way, we found

1933
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:32,000
Speaker 1: near us. Bobo located it at a grocery store nearby,

1934
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 1: So we are gonna I think we need a live

1935
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:37,639
Speaker 1: taste test at some point. All right, My next guest,

1936
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 1: very excited for, Scott Aronson, is professor at U T Austin.

1937
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: He's the director of the Quantum Information Center, and he

1938
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:49,480
Speaker 1: is here to explain the basics of quantum computing.

1939
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 2: Scott, Welcome to the show.

1940
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:52,640
Speaker 11: Thanks great to be here.

1941
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: So I'm sure this is pretty much what everyone asks

1942
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 1: that the basics is what is quantum computing?

1943
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 2: Can you answer that in less than ten minutes?

1944
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's not easy, but I can try. So it's

1945
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 13: a proposal for a new kind of computer that's going

1946
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 13: to exploit the rules of quantum mechanics to solve certain

1947
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 13: specific problems a lot faster than we know how to

1948
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 13: solve them with today's computers. So basically, you know, quantum

1949
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 13: mechanics has been with us for one hundred years at

1950
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 13: this point, and it's you know, one of the biggest

1951
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 13: changes that physics ever had to sort of how the

1952
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 13: our understanding of how the world works. Really, it's a

1953
01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 13: change to the rules of probability, right, It changes how

1954
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,760
Speaker 13: you have to calculate how likely something is to happen. So,

1955
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 13: you know, quantum mechanics is based on these numbers called

1956
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 13: amplitudes that can you know, like that can be positive

1957
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:55,759
Speaker 13: or negative. You know, you'd never talk about a negative

1958
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,439
Speaker 13: thirty percent chance that it's going to rain tomorrow, but

1959
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 13: you know you could have a negative amplitude that an

1960
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:04,120
Speaker 13: electron will reach a certain point, okay.

1961
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 11: And the key thing in quantum.

1962
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 13: Mechanics is that if you want to know how likely

1963
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 13: something is to happen, you've got to add up the

1964
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:13,799
Speaker 13: amplitudes for all the different ways that it could have happened.

1965
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 13: And if some of those amplitudes are positive and others

1966
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 13: are negative, they can cancel each other out, which means

1967
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 13: that the total amplitude is zero, and then that thing

1968
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 13: never happens at all.

1969
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 2: Okay.

1970
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:27,839
Speaker 13: So so it's it's just sort of like a different

1971
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:31,760
Speaker 13: you know, like like we thought we understood the rules

1972
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:34,439
Speaker 13: of probability, and then nature comes along and says, no,

1973
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 13: I use different rules.

1974
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:37,040
Speaker 1: Right.

1975
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 11: So a quantum computer is built out of cubits right.

1976
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,560
Speaker 13: You know, a class a bit, you know, which is

1977
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 13: the building block of a classical computer or something that's

1978
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 13: either zero or one. A cubit is something that can

1979
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 13: have an amplitude to be zero and an amplitude to

1980
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 13: be one. So as you say, it's in a superposition

1981
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 13: of the two states, okay, uh, you know, if you

1982
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 13: measure it, then you for there's the cubit to make

1983
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 13: up its mind which it wants to be, you know,

1984
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:08,600
Speaker 13: and there's a rule for you know, converting the amplitudes

1985
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:10,880
Speaker 13: into you know, the chance that you're gonna see zero

1986
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:11,320
Speaker 13: or one.

1987
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,640
Speaker 11: But whichever choice nature makes, it just sticks with that.

1988
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:16,640
Speaker 11: Like if it tells you with zero, then now it

1989
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 11: is zero.

1990
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 1: So that's different than a standard computer, which is always

1991
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 1: in terms of like a binary like one in zero, right,

1992
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right.

1993
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1994
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 13: And even if you didn't know if a bit was

1995
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 13: zero or one, you might say it's seventy percent one,

1996
01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:33,680
Speaker 13: you know, seventy percent chance of being one, you know,

1997
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:34,040
Speaker 13: like you.

1998
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 11: Say, really it's one or the other, right, you just

1999
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 11: don't know, Okay, But.

2000
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:42,559
Speaker 13: When it's in superposition, you really do have to keep

2001
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:46,640
Speaker 13: track of both possibilities because these amplitudes can interfere with

2002
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 13: each other. Ah, right, so now that's that's weird enough

2003
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:53,680
Speaker 13: for one cubit. But if you've got two cubits, now

2004
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 13: we need four amplitudes. We need amplitude for both cubits

2005
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,720
Speaker 13: to be zero amplitude for zero, one amplitude for one,

2006
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 13: zero amplitude for one to one. If we've got three cubits,

2007
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 13: we need eight amplitudes. Right, if we've got fifty cubits,

2008
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 13: we need two to the fiftieth power amplitudes, which is

2009
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:11,760
Speaker 13: like a quadrillion.

2010
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:13,439
Speaker 2: That's more than I can add in my head.

2011
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 13: I'm sure, yeah or I So, you know, it very

2012
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 13: quickly gets way beyond the ability of you know, any

2013
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 13: conventional computer to keep track of what's going on. And

2014
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:28,560
Speaker 13: you know, chemists and physicists have known about this for

2015
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 13: a long time, that there's this exponential explosion of amplitudes

2016
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 13: you know, at the heart of modern physics.

2017
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 11: You know, they've known it mostly as a practical problem.

2018
01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 13: You know, you're trying to simulate a complicated molecule with

2019
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 13: a classical computer.

2020
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:46,639
Speaker 11: You know you have this, you have way too many

2021
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:48,040
Speaker 11: amplitudes to keep track of.

2022
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:52,120
Speaker 13: It's like, you know, it was only you know, forty

2023
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:55,799
Speaker 13: five years ago that a few physicists like Richard Feynman

2024
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 13: had this amazing idea that if nature is giving us

2025
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,600
Speaker 13: this computation lemon, why don't we make lemonade out of it?

2026
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 11: So, you know, why don't we build.

2027
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:09,280
Speaker 13: A computer that itself would have this vast superposition state,

2028
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:13,120
Speaker 13: would be built out of cubits, would be based on amplitudes.

2029
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 11: And that's what we call a quantum computer.

2030
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:18,400
Speaker 1: Well here, okay, so do we have quantum computers now?

2031
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:21,840
Speaker 1: Because I've seen a lot of these reports from Microsoft

2032
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:23,720
Speaker 1: and Google and you say, hey, we've got this chip,

2033
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:25,839
Speaker 1: we've got this thing, but like, is this actually happening?

2034
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 12: Yeah.

2035
01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 13: No, there's a ton of hype in this area, unfortunately,

2036
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:31,680
Speaker 13: but there's also been a lot of real progress in

2037
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 13: the last thirty years. And now we actually do have

2038
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 13: small quantum computers with let's say fifty to one hundred cubits, okay,

2039
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 13: and where you can do a few thousand operations on

2040
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:46,800
Speaker 13: these cubits, you know, while they sort of preserve their

2041
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 13: quantum state now to really be useful in practice, what

2042
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 13: we would like our devices with millions of cubits, okay,

2043
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 13: and where you can do billions of operations on them.

2044
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:01,679
Speaker 13: So you know, there is a a difficulty in scaling

2045
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 13: this up. But you know, when I entered this field

2046
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 13: twenty five years ago, it would be amazing to just

2047
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 13: get one or two cubits to work.

2048
01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 2: Oh wow, right ass.

2049
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 13: You know, yeah yeah so so so there's been real

2050
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:16,920
Speaker 13: progress on controlling them, making them more reliable. And you know,

2051
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:20,560
Speaker 13: the big discovery that really set the engineering agenda like

2052
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:24,840
Speaker 13: thirty years ago was called quantum error correction that basically said,

2053
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 13: if you can control the cubits well enough, then you could.

2054
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:31,480
Speaker 11: There are these amazing error correcting.

2055
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 13: Codes to let you go the rest of the way

2056
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:35,679
Speaker 13: and simulate effectively perfect cubits.

2057
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:37,760
Speaker 1: It sounds like these cubits have like a mind of

2058
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 1: their own, Like they're just like little gremlins running around

2059
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, we got.

2060
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 11: Well it's like well, it's like it's funny.

2061
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 6: You know.

2062
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:46,439
Speaker 13: Being in superposition is like this thing that particles like

2063
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 13: to do in private, right, They like to do it

2064
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 13: when no one is looking, and then when you look,

2065
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 13: they you know, they just pretend that they're classical, but

2066
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 13: we know that they were in superposition because otherwise the

2067
01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:58,280
Speaker 13: the amplitudes wouldn't interfere.

2068
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 1: That is such a weird thing to think about. It's

2069
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:02,840
Speaker 1: like shining a light on them and they all like freeze.

2070
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 1: You're like, hold on, yeah, right right.

2071
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 13: It's like monsters under the bed or something. But they

2072
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,640
Speaker 13: do follow these very definite rules that we've known for

2073
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 13: one hundred years.

2074
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:11,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

2075
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 1: So do you think, okay, well, let's talk about some

2076
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,639
Speaker 1: of the problems that these computers, these quantum computers could solve.

2077
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:20,400
Speaker 2: Yes, tell me, I'm sure, all.

2078
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 13: Right, Well okay, yeah, So so the two biggest applications

2079
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:27,479
Speaker 13: I would say that we know right now. The first

2080
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 13: one is just the original one that fine men and

2081
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,920
Speaker 13: the other physicists you know, talked about forty five years ago.

2082
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 13: It's the one that's so obvious that we sometimes don't

2083
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 13: even mention it. Just simulating quantum physics and chemistry themselves.

2084
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 11: Okay.

2085
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:44,559
Speaker 13: So, you know, anytime you want to design a new

2086
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:50,799
Speaker 13: material design, you know, high temperature superconductors or solar cells.

2087
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 13: You know, you better ways of making batteries. You know,

2088
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 13: you probably have a many body quantum mechanics problem, like

2089
01:37:56,960 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 13: lots of interacting electrons, you know that have some huge

2090
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 13: number of amplitudes to keep track of. And these are

2091
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,679
Speaker 13: all things where a quantum computer could potentially help.

2092
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the second one.

2093
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 13: Potentially Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know, biochemistry, you know.

2094
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:16,560
Speaker 13: Now it's tricky because, you know, the hard part with

2095
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 13: a quantum computer is that it's never good enough to

2096
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 13: do something quantumly for it for to be interesting, you

2097
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,560
Speaker 13: have to beat the best that could be done with

2098
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:29,640
Speaker 13: a classical computer. You're always trying to compare. And you know,

2099
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 13: in classical computing is not static either, right, it gets

2100
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 13: to fight back. People keep discovering new classical algorithms.

2101
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 11: So, for example, you.

2102
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 13: Know, we've gotten way way better at at understanding proteins

2103
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 13: using classical computers because of AI such as alpha fault. Right, So,

2104
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:50,800
Speaker 13: so now now the bar is higher for what a

2105
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:53,320
Speaker 13: quantum computer has to beat in order to be useful.

2106
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:57,680
Speaker 1: Oh so, like the regular computers now with the applications

2107
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,479
Speaker 1: of AI, have gotten better at what they can do.

2108
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:02,240
Speaker 1: So now it's like, hold on, now we need quantum

2109
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 1: to be even better because of this.

2110
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:07,719
Speaker 13: Well, well, hopefully hopefully you could combine AI with quantum

2111
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 13: and be better than either one alone. Okay, but you know,

2112
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,560
Speaker 13: in any case, you know, you know you've got to do,

2113
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:16,439
Speaker 13: you know, for your quantum computer to win, it's got

2114
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 13: to do better than the best that anyone can do without.

2115
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:20,519
Speaker 2: A quantum computer, got it right, right?

2116
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:21,720
Speaker 7: Work? Yeah?

2117
01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:25,040
Speaker 13: But you know now, the other big application, the one

2118
01:39:25,080 --> 01:39:27,639
Speaker 13: that really put quantum computing on the map for most

2119
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:31,080
Speaker 13: of the world, was this discovery thirty years ago by

2120
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:33,719
Speaker 13: Peter Shore that said that, you know, a quantum computer

2121
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:38,360
Speaker 13: could break most of the encryption that currently protects the Internet. Okay,

2122
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,639
Speaker 13: so you know, at anytime you order stuff from Amazon,

2123
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:45,519
Speaker 13: you know your credit card number is being protected by

2124
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 13: a code that depends on the belief that certain problems

2125
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 13: in number theory are hard, Okay, such as finding the

2126
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 13: prime factors of a huge composite number, you know, with

2127
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 13: thousands of digits.

2128
01:39:57,680 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 5: Right.

2129
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:00,600
Speaker 13: So you know, so the magic of modern encryption is

2130
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:03,679
Speaker 13: that it all works without us having to pre agree,

2131
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 13: you know, on a secret key.

2132
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 11: Right.

2133
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:08,360
Speaker 1: Oh, so you're saying, once we get these quantum computers

2134
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:11,879
Speaker 1: up and running, it breaks everything that we know today, Well.

2135
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:15,639
Speaker 13: It breaks the public key encryption that we use today. Okay,

2136
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:18,439
Speaker 13: Now you gotta be careful because you know, we we

2137
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:22,479
Speaker 13: do know other methods of encryption. It seems secure even

2138
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 13: against the quantum computer. They're not very widely used yet,

2139
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,799
Speaker 13: but there is right now a push to migrate already

2140
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:33,560
Speaker 13: to these quantum resistant methods of encryption, you know, in

2141
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,799
Speaker 13: order to prepare for whenever someone builds a quantum computer.

2142
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 13: You know, it's almost like Y two K right, It's like,

2143
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:41,759
Speaker 13: you know, we we know that this is probably coming

2144
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:44,719
Speaker 13: at some point, right, so let's upgrade our security first.

2145
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: But you know we're going to wait till the day

2146
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 1: before it comes to do it. So yes, yes, Scott,

2147
01:40:49,479 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 1: we got to leave it there. We're at a time,

2148
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:54,760
Speaker 1: Scott Aronson, best best place for people to find more

2149
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 1: your website?

2150
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, I'm easy to find Scott Aaronson dot com.

2151
01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:01,400
Speaker 1: All right, this was a great conver sation. So glad

2152
01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:03,479
Speaker 1: to have had it, and I feel a lot smarter

2153
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:05,519
Speaker 1: about quantum computing. Thanks so much for being on the show.

2154
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you.

2155
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 1: All right, I'll put his website Scott Aaronson on my website.

2156
01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 1: Rich on Tech dot TV all right, coming up, we

2157
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,679
Speaker 1: are going to open up the feedbag and see what you're.

2158
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 2: Saying this week. This is rich on Tech.

2159
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

2160
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:25,800
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology. Oh my gosh, we're going

2161
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:29,280
Speaker 1: to get to the feedbag in just a moment here,

2162
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 1: But first let me tell you Number one. Oh couple things,

2163
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:35,600
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com, slash rich on tech. I posted the

2164
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:39,880
Speaker 1: app that you're all looking for, the one that helps

2165
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 1: you free up your iPhone storage. I'm telling you it's good.

2166
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 1: Report back to me, let me know if it works.

2167
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 1: Just be careful when you make those changes. But that's

2168
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: number one. Number two, and I did put some Android

2169
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:55,000
Speaker 1: instructions in there as well, so it's all in there.

2170
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 2: Number two.

2171
01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 1: If you are going to a hotel and you do

2172
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 1: not want to deal with a headache at check out,

2173
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:04,639
Speaker 1: do not go near the minibar. That's my advice. Two

2174
01:42:04,800 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 1: hotels now in the past two months i've stayed at

2175
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: I had charges on my bill at the end for

2176
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:16,120
Speaker 1: minibar that I did not use. Now, typically I'm against

2177
01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 1: the minibar because it's just highway robbery, Like it's a

2178
01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 1: total joke what they charge, and the prices just keep

2179
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 1: going up. So Mexico City, I got a twenty dollars

2180
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 1: charge for a tequila I never took. And don't don't

2181
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 1: get me wrong, I was tempted, Like I saw those

2182
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 1: tequilas in my room. I did not drink one, but yes,

2183
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 1: I was tempted. It took me weeks to get that

2184
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: charge reversed.

2185
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 2: I get it.

2186
01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 1: It's twenty dollars. Oh Rich, not gonna make or break you.

2187
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:38,439
Speaker 1: It's the principle of it.

2188
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 2: I didn't do it.

2189
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Why would I pay twenty dollars for something I didn't use?

2190
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: Then I was at a hotel in Las Vegas. I'm

2191
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: not gonna mention which one, but very per no, not

2192
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 1: Parisian Italian themed.

2193
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 2: Let's put it that way.

2194
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 1: Sixty five dollars for a tiny bottle of vodka three

2195
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five millileters MILLI leaders, yeah, sixty five

2196
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:03,360
Speaker 1: dollars plus tax. So on my bill, I was checking out,

2197
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 1: and they do everything mobile. Now, by the way, if

2198
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 1: you want to talk to someone as nearly impossible, so

2199
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 1: it's all mobile. They'd say text you to say, hey, hope,

2200
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:12,000
Speaker 1: you had a great stay here, click here to check out.

2201
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 2: And I was gonna do it, but then I looked

2202
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 2: at my bill.

2203
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a second, that's way more than I

2204
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be, And so I go

2205
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 1: into the itemize and it's like you know, room charge, facility,

2206
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:25,440
Speaker 1: resort parking fee, resort fee, and then it's like convenience

2207
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:29,600
Speaker 1: refreshment bar. I'm like what, and so seventy dollars for

2208
01:43:29,720 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 1: one thing, and so I was like ugh, and I

2209
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:32,920
Speaker 1: was trying to run to my car, so I'd stop

2210
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 1: by the front desk and the front desk person is like, oh, yeah,

2211
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 1: you had something for the mini bar.

2212
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:38,599
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I didn't.

2213
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:41,640
Speaker 1: And so they were like, okay, well it takes us.

2214
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: I say, can you take that off my bill? No,

2215
01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 1: we got to go verify, we got to go look

2216
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:46,800
Speaker 1: at your mini bar to make sure you didn't take this.

2217
01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:48,720
Speaker 1: I go, well, let's do it right now.

2218
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 2: I'm here. They go, no, no, it takes us three

2219
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 2: days to do it. Three days.

2220
01:43:52,400 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Don't you think someone else is gonna check in that

2221
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 1: room in the next three days. I go, not to

2222
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 1: mention the fact your system made a mistake the first

2223
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,280
Speaker 1: time around. Now I'm expecting you to not make a

2224
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:03,760
Speaker 1: mistake the second time. And so they said, I said, well,

2225
01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:05,680
Speaker 1: what time did I open the minibar? Because I was

2226
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna see if it was actually me or not, And

2227
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 1: they knew the exact time one like they had it.

2228
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, that's when I got in my room.

2229
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 1: And I will admit, when I got in my room,

2230
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 1: what are you doing? When you get in your room,

2231
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: you kind of explore and you look around. I opened

2232
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 1: the thing I saw the mini bar. I was like, oh,

2233
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 1: And the reason I didn't touch anything, not that I

2234
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:23,920
Speaker 1: would ever would, but I looked for a pricing guide

2235
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:25,839
Speaker 1: around it, and there was no prices.

2236
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not touching anything without a price.

2237
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, if it was like five bucks for a beer, fine,

2238
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:32,439
Speaker 1: but I wasn't gonna, you know, open anything if it

2239
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 1: wasn't you know. Anyway, long story short, just don't even

2240
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 1: go near the mini bar anymore. With these automated systems

2241
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:41,639
Speaker 1: they have, they charge you instantly and once you're charged,

2242
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 1: now it's like you got to fight to you know,

2243
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 1: to get that off your your bill anyway, So that's

2244
01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 1: that's my no.

2245
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,559
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm telling you that. Just be careful, uh.

2246
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:57,679
Speaker 1: I love that, Like it was one of these things

2247
01:44:57,760 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 1: I just thought was gonna be easy and it just wasn't.

2248
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 2: Not easy.

2249
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,360
Speaker 1: Like literally, the front desk person was like, They're like, no,

2250
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:07,080
Speaker 1: you're wrong until you're proven you're not guilty. I'm like, okay,

2251
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:08,639
Speaker 1: well I feel like it should be the opposite way,

2252
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:11,519
Speaker 1: but okay, and whatever happened to the customer always being right?

2253
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 2: Now, I get it.

2254
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 1: I am sure there is so much fraud in the minibar.

2255
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 1: I guarantee every person that goes out of Vegas is like, oh,

2256
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 1: I didn't touch the minibar. The whole thing is cleared out.

2257
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah no, you didn't touch it. Okay, uh huh, but

2258
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 1: I really didn't. I mean I was there for the

2259
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz thing, and believe me again, yes I

2260
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 1: was tempted, but without a price.

2261
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm not touching that.

2262
01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:31,439
Speaker 13: No.

2263
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: By the way, do you know how many tech problems

2264
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,759
Speaker 1: I'd solve in a week just by the people I'm around.

2265
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 1: I wrote down four this week. This guy at work

2266
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:43,519
Speaker 1: comes up to me. He's like, Rich, I know you're

2267
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:45,800
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, head out, but my Facebook posts

2268
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 1: starts shown up when I post him. I said what,

2269
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, let me see, and like, I

2270
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:52,479
Speaker 1: think I think the problem is you have two Facebook accounts,

2271
01:45:52,800 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 1: one that you're posting from the other one you're checking

2272
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 1: from on your computer. Is not the same account, and

2273
01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 1: sure enough I looked at his phone and computer, two

2274
01:45:58,960 --> 01:45:59,639
Speaker 1: separate accounts.

2275
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 2: How did I well?

2276
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 1: His profile picture was different on each one. I said, dude,

2277
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:05,600
Speaker 1: you have a couple of accounts here. You got to

2278
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:06,240
Speaker 1: use just one.

2279
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:07,240
Speaker 2: That's how it works.

2280
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:12,960
Speaker 1: Family member couldn't hear anything on their calls, so I said, okay,

2281
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:16,760
Speaker 1: try speaker phone, check the earpiece. The volume was turned down.

2282
01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: Another family member, Oh, my bluetooth and my new car

2283
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:22,200
Speaker 1: isn't working. Well, did you pair your phone to your car?

2284
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 4: No?

2285
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 2: I didn't know you had to do that.

2286
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:25,960
Speaker 1: Yes, you have to pare your phone for your bluetooth

2287
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:29,320
Speaker 1: to work. Another family member, I can't make calls on

2288
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: my phone for a week, nothing's working. Have you restarted

2289
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 1: your phone? No, restart your phone? She called me back

2290
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:36,679
Speaker 1: second later.

2291
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 2: Oh it works, Yes, it works.

2292
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:40,640
Speaker 5: Uh.

2293
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 1: Michael writes in Hey, Rich, let the listeners know that

2294
01:46:43,479 --> 01:46:46,479
Speaker 1: the CDIA expos trade only not open to the public.

2295
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:48,479

2300
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 1: phone in likeness. I went and checked, and weirdly, my

2301
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 1: toggle was on. I knew it for a fact. I

2302
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:06,560
Speaker 1: never turned it on. Now it's turned off, but I

2303
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:08,800
Speaker 1: had not seen your report. Gosh knows what had been

2304
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes. Thank you so much. Yes, Instagram,

2305
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:15,040
Speaker 1: rich on tech find that Facebook togg will turn it off.

2306
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:17,479
Speaker 2: Gerald.

2307
01:47:17,600 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of your show and listen every weekend.

2308
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:21,840
Speaker 1: But I notice you rip Apple more than you praise them.

2309
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 1: I know you're supposed to be objective, but it seems

2310
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,639
Speaker 1: obvious you prefer anything other than Apple.

2311
01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 7: Why is that?

2312
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:29,800
Speaker 1: Gerald, I can't believe this. In fifteen years of covering

2313
01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:32,360
Speaker 1: iPhone and Android, you are the first person to say

2314
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 1: that I'm too hard on Apple. Usually people accuse me

2315
01:47:35,479 --> 01:47:37,760
Speaker 1: of being an Apple fanboy. So I think I'm doing

2316
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 1: a pretty good job of staying balanced. And just for

2317
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 1: the record, I have nothing against Apple. I wrote a

2318
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,479
Speaker 1: book about the iPhone. My job is just to keep

2319
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: everything in perspective for the consumer, and I call Apple

2320
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 1: good when I like it and bad when I don't.

2321
01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 1: Keith writes in I want you to mention how much

2322
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:54,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate your work in presenting technology. My wife and

2323
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:57,400
Speaker 1: I thoroughly enjoy your podcasts and your TV clips. You

2324
01:47:57,439 --> 01:47:59,599
Speaker 1: have a gift for explaining things well, and you make

2325
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 1: everything very entertaining and enjoyable. I appreciate your humility and

2326
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:04,759
Speaker 1: how you mention your family.

2327
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 2: Thank you. That's going to do it for this show.

2328
01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 1: Next week we're going to talk about making the most

2329
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:12,599
Speaker 1: of your points, and thank you so much for listening.

01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:14,760
