1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Brand new Fitbits, a more private Facebook, Roku hooks up 2 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: with Alexa, an app to prevent spying on your computer, 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: and Tesla Supercharges. 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 2: They're superchargers. What's going on? I'm rich dmiro. 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: This is rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: about technology and answer your questions and talk about the 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: things that I think you should know about that happened 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: in the world of tech. The number one story, well maybe, 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of number one stories. But 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: what I think is interesting from the consumer perspective is 11 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 1: this is the week that the Samsung Galaxy S ten 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: is finally in stores. And you've heard a lot of 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: people talking about these devices because a lot of tech 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: journalists have had them for a couple of weeks now, 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: including myself. We've all had time to play with them, 16 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: and I think the consensus is there this is one 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: of the best Android devices, if not the best Android device. 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: And my review on my website at richon Tech dot tv, 19 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: I go into all the details on this thing, but 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: the bottom line is this. I've been using the S 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: ten for about I think two or three weeks now, 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: and it's one of those devices that when you're on 23 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: the Android side of things. It is everything that Android. 24 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: Is all about. Right. 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: It's got all the features you can ever imagine, including 26 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: the wireless charging, including a headphone jack, including the expandable storage, 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: the fingerprint sensor. Not a big fan of that in 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: the screen, but it works. It's not that it doesn't 29 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: work fast. It's mainly that I can't find it fast enough. 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: So my suggestion to Samsung is to and this is 31 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: very very simple for them to do. All they need 32 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: to do is add it to their always on. 33 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 2: Display software update. 34 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: But just let me always have the target area for 35 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: the fingerprint sensor on the screen at all times. 36 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: Now. 37 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if that is going to mess it 38 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: up with burnin or whatever, but right now you kind 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: of have to. You know, if you lift up your phone, 40 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily it shows you you're always on display. 41 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: It sometimes goes to your main screen with the thing 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: your print sensor icon on there, but I'd like to 43 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: see it there all the time. Maybe they can't do 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: that for burn in reasons, but that's really my only 45 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: problem with this device. Otherwise, I am super impressed. The 46 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: screen is beautiful, the design is beautiful. You will need 47 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: a case with this thing. The cameras are amazing now, 48 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: I mean amazing in their flexibility. Are they the best 49 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: best cameras on any smartphone? 50 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: No? 51 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: I still think the pixel takes better pictures, but I 52 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: do love having the three lenses. I think the iPhone 53 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: ten R takes really nice pictures, as does the ten S. 54 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: But when it comes to an Android device, when you 55 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: crave that customizability is that a word? 56 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: Customizability? 57 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: When you want to be able to customize every aspect 58 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: of this device, you can because guess what, you want 59 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: to change the browser, you can change the browser. You 60 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: want to change your email program, you can change your 61 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: email program. You want to change the default map app, 62 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: you can do that. You want to change what bixby 63 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: button opens, Yeah, you can almost do that, except for 64 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: Google Assistant. So the beauty of the Android platform is 65 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: that you're in control. And if you ever had an iPhone, 66 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: they're amazing. They're great, great, great devices. But it is 67 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: Apple's way or the highway, and that's the bottom line 68 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: with an Apple device. Yeah, sure, you can download Apple 69 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Maps or Google Maps and ways and all these other 70 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: music players and stuff, but at the end of the day, 71 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of the time everything is 72 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: leading to Apple's way, which is you know, Apple Music, Safari, 73 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: for the browser, Apple Maps, Siri. Everything is going towards Apple. 74 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: And it's not a bad thing if you've embraced the 75 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: Apple world. But there's a whole other world out there 76 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: of people that want to kind of set their own 77 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: direction in life, and that's what Android lets you do. 78 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: And I think right now the Samsung Galaxy S ten. 79 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: Is the best device for that. Is it perfect? 80 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: No? 81 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: Is it pretty darn awesome? Yeah? So again in stores now. 82 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: You can read my full review on the website rich 83 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: on tech dot TV. But I think people are gonna 84 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: be very happy with this Samsung Galaxy device. I think 85 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: the only source besides the fingerprint reader for me is 86 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: really some of the time it takes to get a 87 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: good picture in lower light situation. So I was at 88 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: a event with my wife and we were trying to 89 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: take a selfie and it just wasn't doing as good 90 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: of a job as say the iPhone or the pixel 91 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: and the iPhone even though the selfies in low light 92 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: and especially any low light pictures just don't look very good, 93 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: they get very pixelated. They still happen fast, right, It 94 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: still focuses fast, it takes them fast. I find with 95 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: the Samsung there's like a little bit of a delay 96 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: in low light situations where it really affects how you 97 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: get a good picture. And maybe that's a software update, 98 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: who knows, But that's really my only problem. Otherwise, this 99 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: phone has been so much fun to play with over 100 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. I really think that anyone 101 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: that gets it will be very very happy with it. Now, 102 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: if you are getting a Samsung phone and you are 103 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: not a Spotify customer, they've got a pretty good deal 104 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: for you six months of free Spotify premium if you 105 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: are new to Spotify. So this only works if you 106 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: have not had Spotify before according to the Verge, but 107 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: this is all part of Samsung's sponsorship or partnership, I should. 108 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: Say, with Spotify. 109 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: So you can get six months of free Spotify, which 110 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: is pretty cool. I mean that's sixty bucks right there. 111 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: And again, just look for the Spotify app on your 112 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: s ten, open it up, and if you sign up 113 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: through there, you will get your six months free. So 114 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: I do like that Pippitt has announced a few new devices. 115 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: I feel like Pippit is always coming out with new devices. 116 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: And it's funny because Pippit is one of these companies 117 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: that a lot of people get their stuff. Yet Fitbit 118 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: doesn't do any big events Like this is a company 119 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: that would do really well with a nice launch event. 120 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: Right. 121 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: You can have reporters go there, journalists, YouTubers, whatever. You 122 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: can have it all set up kind of cool with like, 123 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, different stations for exercise and all this stuff. 124 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: But they never do that. They just literally send out 125 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: a press release and boom, you have like five new fitbits. 126 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: So the Fitbits, I'll go through them real quick. The 127 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: Fippit Versa Light is basically the smart watch that I'm 128 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: wearing right now, but it a lesser version apparently has 129 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: all the core fitness and smart features of Versa like activity, 130 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: sleep and heart rate tracking, plus notifications, apps and four 131 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: day battery life. But the difference is the Versa I 132 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: have has three buttons on it. The new Versa Light 133 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: only has one button. And that makes a lot of 134 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: sense because the funny thing about my Versa is that 135 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: the most confusing thing to me is what are these 136 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: buttons do? I'm always pressing them and it's the wrong button. 137 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: So I think they realize that and they're testing that 138 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: one button is just fine. That's all they need. That's 139 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: going to sell for one hundred and sixty bucks, and 140 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: it comes in a bunch of cool colors, so that's 141 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of nice. The Fitbit Inspire HR is sort of 142 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: like their classic, you know, fitness tracker that looks like 143 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: a wristband. This is twenty four to seven heart rate tracking, 144 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: fifteen goal based exercises, sleep stages, whatever that means, and 145 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: up to five days of battery life. So you can 146 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 1: wear this for five days, and that's really nice, don't 147 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: you know? You can't really knock the five days off 148 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: because it's so nice to not have to charge your 149 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: wearable every day. When I was wearing the Apple Watch, 150 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: it's like every single night you gotta charge it and 151 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: you don't get sleep tracking. 152 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: So with the with. 153 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: The versa, I love it that I literally just charge 154 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: it when I take a shower and it's charged up 155 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: enough for the day, and you know, over the weekend, 156 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: maybe I'll charge it one of the one of the 157 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: full days or something. But I like having all my stats, 158 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: so I don't I don't want to not have it on. 159 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: Especially for sleep. I love having the sleep stats. 160 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: On the Fippits, and so the Fippit Inspire HR is 161 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: also swim proof, and that will sell for one hundred bucks. 162 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: That's kind of like the most common one. 163 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: That's probably the one i'd recommend for ninety nine percent 164 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: of people, unless you like the idea of a smart 165 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: watch one. Now, this one I don't really recommend. This 166 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: is the Fipbit Inspire. They call it their most affordable tracker. 167 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: But the thing I don't like about this is there 168 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: is no heart rate sensor on this, So to me, 169 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: these are not worth it. If you're not getting the 170 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: heart rate sensor. Spend the extra thirty dollars get the 171 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: heart rate censor. You get a whole bunch more data, 172 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: much more useful data. And I just think that the 173 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: Inspire is something to get people on board because it's 174 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: seventy bucks, but clearly it's going to sell for a 175 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: lot less when you get it on special and deal 176 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: and sale, So I think that it's just a better 177 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: deal to get the Inspire HR or the versa with 178 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: the heart rate. So just make sure when you're buying 179 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: one of these trackers it does do heart rate, because 180 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the most important aspect and. 181 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: Finally, there's a Fitbit ACE two. 182 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: This is for kids ages six and up, and this 183 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: has a swim proof design, fun colors, kid friendly features, 184 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: and encourages more family time through physical activity, which is 185 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: kind of cool, but also has parental controls to safeguard 186 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: kids privacy and parents can look at their sleep habits, 187 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: which I really like. That's pretty awesome. It's going to 188 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: be seventy dollars. And I will tell you my kid 189 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: has been testing a smart watch, the cool Pad Dino 190 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: smart watch, and it's funny because the feature he likes 191 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: the most about it is the step count, which I 192 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: would have never thought he loves getting those steps up. 193 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: So I kind of love the idea that he's into that, 194 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: and I like the idea that the fipbit does that. 195 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 196 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: I have a tough time with all these things with 197 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: the kids, because, like, kids need to be kids. Right 198 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I never thought about my 199 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: step count or how much activity I was getting. 200 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: I just did stuff. 201 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: I was out all afternoon, just kind of playing in 202 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: the street with my friends, riding our bikes, doing whatever 203 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: until my parents called. 204 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: Me in for dinner. 205 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: So the fact that my kid has to think about, 206 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: am I hitting ten thousand steps today? I don't know 207 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: if I like that idea. But at the same time, 208 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: if you know, if you have a kid that you 209 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: think could benefit from this, I'm all for it, you know. 210 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: So that's gonna be seventy dollars. These don't have a 211 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: launch date just yet. They are on pre sale though, 212 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: so you can order them. The fitbit feature that everyone 213 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: will benefit from is a major redesign of the mobile app, 214 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: so that's coming soon. 215 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 2: Fitbit says this will let you. 216 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: Further personalize your dashboard, better understand your data, discover new content, 217 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: and connect with each other in fitbit social community. And 218 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: I have not connected with anyone on Fitbit, but I 219 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: was when I was wearing the Apple Watch. Connected with 220 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: my wife and my sister who's a big fitness guru. 221 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: Follow her on Instagram. She is your fave veggie gal. 222 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: So that's my sister on Instagram, so go find her there. 223 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: But she's a big trainer and really into fitness and 224 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: health and all that stuff. So I was on linked 225 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: up with her and linked up with my wife, and 226 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: so every time we completed a workout, we would see 227 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: that and with one little tap on your Apple Watch, 228 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: you could say nice job. Or they had these little 229 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: cheesy things that were so funny, but they were canned, 230 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: but I loved them, so we'd all send those to 231 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: each other. So I think that the community when it 232 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: comes to fitness is really important, and I like that 233 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: fitbit is doubling down on that aspect as well. Facebook 234 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg had a big post over 235 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: the last week talking about Facebook and Instagram and how 236 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: over the past fifteen years it has helped connect a 237 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: lot of people. 238 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 2: But he's talking about kind of. 239 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: The future of things and where he sees everything going, 240 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to communication, and he says, but 241 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: the ways people are communicating right now that are growing 242 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: the fastest are private messaging, which is like Facebook Messenger, 243 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: ephemeral stories, which is like Instagram stories. You can do 244 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: stories a messenger, you can do stories on Facebook. You've 245 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: got small groups, which I know the groups on Facebook pages. 246 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: A lot of people do that for small groups, and 247 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: of course anyone can create a group on Facebook. 248 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: But the thing that he's noticing. 249 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: Is that people are preferring the intimacy of communicating one 250 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: on one or just with a few friends and they're 251 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: more cautious of having a permanent record of what they shared. 252 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: And these are all very true things. So when Facebook 253 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: came out and all these different platforms, people love sharing 254 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: with as many people as possible. And that's still true 255 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: for like influencers and stuff. But I think for the 256 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: average person, they're much more focused on kind of the 257 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: idea of privacy. And if I post this, who sees this? 258 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: Does my employer see this? Will my kids see this 259 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: in the future, Can other people in my class see this? 260 00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: Can my family members see this? 261 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: So I think we're all much more hyper aware of 262 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,239 Speaker 1: this based on just kind of how things changed. But Facebook, 263 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: this is my favorite line. He basically says that they 264 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: want to put privacy first on their simpler platform, right, 265 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: So this is my favorite line. I understand that many 266 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: people don't think Facebook can or even would want to 267 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: build this kind of privacy focused platform because frankly, we 268 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: don't have We don't currently have a strong reputation for 269 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: building privacy protective services. We've historically focused on tools for 270 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: open sharing. But then Zuckerberg goes on to say that 271 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: we have repeatedly shown that we can evolve, and I 272 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: agree they have evolved, and so now they're going to 273 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: do private encrypted services. So he goes through a couple 274 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: of these things here, like private interactions, So again these 275 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: are kind of like direct messages encryption. He's going to 276 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: focus more on end to end encryption, which means that 277 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: basically no one can see your messages, not the government, 278 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: not Facebook, no one unless they have the key to 279 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: your message, which they don't, reducing permanence, which these are 280 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: kind of like stories that last twenty four hours. I 281 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: think the irony of that is that most people don't 282 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: realize that their Facebook and Instagram stories. 283 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: I don't know about Facebook, but Instagram. 284 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: Stories, there's like your Stories archive, which I think is 285 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: on by default, which does keep all your stories forever, 286 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: but in a private way that you can go back 287 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: to but other people can't see. 288 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 2: So I think that's kind of ironic. 289 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: Safety interoperability, which this is his big push to kind 290 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: of unify messaging across WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and maybe Instagram. 291 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: Is that the other one, so yeah, let's see. 292 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: I think I forget which one it is, but anyway, 293 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: but he wants to kind of build keep all those 294 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: all that messaging together, which I kind of like and 295 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: then secure data storage. So again, Facebook, you know, they're 296 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: trying to change with the times, and I think that 297 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: will they be successful probably. I mean Facebook has adapted 298 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: over the years, and I think that at this point, 299 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: people love what Facebook has done for them. You know, 300 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of connected people in amazing ways. But we're 301 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: also smarter now and we understand and like, I find 302 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: myself using stories way more now than ever before, because 303 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: I like the idea of what I share there is. 304 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: On for twenty four hours. 305 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: If I share something stupid or lame or like, who 306 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: really cares, It's only there for twenty four hours, right, 307 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I'm gonna sit there and say 308 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: mean things or really get at people because it's only 309 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: there for twenty four hours. But I'm just saying I 310 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: like the idea of I don't have to be so serious. 311 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: Like Twitter is like a solid, like you know, record 312 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: of everything you say and it stays there forever. But 313 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: I love the idea that story is just kind of like, oh, 314 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: this is fun, this is cool, this is witty, this 315 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: is interesting, this is something I just noticed and I 316 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: can share it on there and boom, it's gone in 317 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: twenty four hours and I don't really have to think 318 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: about it ever. 319 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: Again. 320 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, in case you haven't noticed, on 321 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: this week's show, I will not have phone calls because 322 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: I was not able to do it some weeks. 323 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: I'm just busy. 324 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: I was out sick from work on one day this 325 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: week and that really put me behind on a couple 326 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: of things I'm doing. So no phone calls. But I 327 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: still will talk about the stuff that I think I 328 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: find interesting for you guys. But let's talk about Roku. 329 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: They are hooking up with Alexa. So now if you 330 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: have an Alexa, you can turn on the new Roku 331 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: skill and basically let your Roku be controlled by Alexa. 332 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: So again, this works with the Amazon show, the Echo Show, 333 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: the Dot, the Spot, the Plus, we got a lot 334 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: of them out there. 335 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: But you can pause a show. 336 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: You can launch a streaming channel and search for entertainment 337 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: by saying things like LEXA find comedies on Roku, lexa 338 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: pause Roku, LEXA open Hulu on Roku. 339 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: Now here's my problem with all this. 340 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: I love that you can do this, right, but who 341 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: in the world says something like lexa open Hulu on 342 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: Roku right, or LEXA pause Roku No if I wanted to, 343 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: if I wanted to pause, I would literally look at 344 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: the TV and be like, can you pause that? 345 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: Right? 346 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of like where we're trying to 347 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: get with these voice commands, and I think that we're 348 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: getting better, and I see, look, this is a longer road. 349 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: We're not going to have this overnight because if you 350 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: just screamed out pause this, that means that your your 351 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: device would have to be listening for all things at 352 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: all times, and not just the code word. But it's 353 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: funny that we have to do these things in a 354 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: very I call the very precise syntax. Right, you have 355 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: to say things in a certain way, and eventually that 356 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: will go away. But right now we're kind of in 357 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: this in between stage of voice commands, and so that's 358 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: why you have to say, find comedies on Roku. You 359 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: know with that robotic voice. You don't have to use 360 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: the robotic voice. That's just optional. But if you have 361 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: a Roku TV, you can take things a step further. 362 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: You can turn on the TV, change the volume, mute 363 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: the TV, change inputs, change channels, so I love that, 364 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: or even turn the volume up. So again, if you 365 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: have Alexa you've got Roku, you can link them up 366 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: and you can do this. I have this hooked up 367 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: in my house with Google Chrome Cast and also the 368 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: Google Assistant, and it's it's great. I mean, I don't 369 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: use it very often, but the level of support is 370 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: pretty cool. Like I can come home and I can say, 371 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, hg hey, Oogle, show me kids science experiments 372 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: videos on YouTube, and oh, that's just activated my phone. 373 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: So I apologize if I just activated your stuff. I 374 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: didn't think that would happen. But anyway, so you know, 375 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: the reality is it's really cool. And on my TV 376 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: the way you know the modern TVs, the Chrome Cast 377 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: will literally turn on your TV, tune to YouTube, and 378 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: start playing the video. 379 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: And I find that really fascinating. I love it. I 380 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: think that's really cool. Do I use it very often? 381 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: No, because oftentimes I can narrow down and choose what 382 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: I want to watch in a much simpler way by 383 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: doing it for my phone and then casting it to 384 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: the TV. 385 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: But again, we're in the. 386 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: Beginning stages of this stuff, and in the future it 387 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: will get better. 388 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: Okay, speaking of. 389 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: Google Assistant and Google Home, Google is rolling out according 390 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: to Android Central. Continued conversations on their smart displays. So 391 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: what is continued conversations? Basically, you don't have to say 392 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: the code word or the hot word or the keyword 393 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: whatever you call it, in between every command. Right, So, 394 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,719 Speaker 1: so we're in this place right now where everything you 395 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: want to do you have to keep saying the little 396 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: hot word to get Google to interact with you. 397 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: Right. 398 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,959 Speaker 1: Well, if you have continued conversations turned on, which, by 399 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: the way, you can turn this on for your smart speakers. 400 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: So that's already been a thing, but now it's coming 401 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: to the smart display. 402 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: So I've got one of. 403 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: These in my kitchen, and if you want to say, 404 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: narrow something down after your original question, you can now 405 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: do that. 406 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 2: So let's see. 407 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: It's gonna roll out over the next few days to 408 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: all smart displays powered by the Google Assistant that are 409 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: set to English. This is an optional feature that users 410 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: can opt in and out of. 411 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 2: Now is it opted in for me? I don't know. 412 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: I have not tried this out, but I did have it. 413 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: I did try it out on my smart speaker. I 414 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: did not like it because it was listening too much 415 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: after I was done, and so I turned it off 416 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: like usually with my smart speaker. I'm doing like one command, 417 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: what's the weather gonna be like tomorrow? 418 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: Fine? 419 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: And sometimes you know, I'll do another command, you know, 420 00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: like and what about next week? 421 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: But I'll it's fine. I can do to two hot 422 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: words with a smart display. 423 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: It's interesting because you might be narrowing things down, like 424 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: if I was looking up, Hey, show me recipes of 425 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: sturfried fajitas or you know, sturfried beef sturfry. I don't know, 426 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: show me recipes with beef sturfry, right, and it shows 427 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: you a couple of recipes. I'd like to say, Okay, 428 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: show me that first one, right, Like that's something that 429 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: you'd want to use continued conversation for. 430 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 2: So it's useful. 431 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: I think it's more useful on the displays than it 432 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: is on the speakers. I mean, everything has a place, 433 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: depends on your use. But on the smart displays, a 434 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: small assistant icon will appear in the upper left hand 435 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: corner to let you know it's listening, and if you 436 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: want to turn it off, you can go into your settings. Now, 437 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: speaking of Google Assistant, remember Duplex. 438 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 2: That was that service that. 439 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: Would use Google Assistant to call restaurants or you know, 440 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: a hair salon to book you a table or an appointment. Well, 441 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: apparently it's doing pretty well. I have yet to use it, 442 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: but Google says the system is getting much much better 443 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: and because of all the feedback, they're making this feature 444 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: available to more people. You can now use it on 445 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: pixel phones in forty three US states. 446 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: So wow, wow, wow. 447 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: This was something that was literally just coming to like 448 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: a couple of cities when they first announced it. And 449 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: now and by the way, just the pixel three, so 450 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: now it's all pixels and in forty three states. This 451 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: stuff must be really good. It must be really useful. 452 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to try it on my phone and see 453 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: what happens. Not right now, but when I'm done. 454 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, all you have to do is. 455 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: Tell assistant, hey, can you book me a table for 456 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: four at a restaurant tomorrow night? And the assistant will 457 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: call a restaurant to see if they can do it, 458 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: and then once the reservation is successful, you get a 459 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: notification on your phone, an email update, and a calendar invite, 460 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: so you don't forget about your reservation. 461 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 2: Brilliant. 462 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: It's the kind of thing that, of course I can 463 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: see some restaurants being annoyed at but it's like, why not. 464 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: If this works and the technology is good, hey, let's 465 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: use it. So the other interesting part about this is 466 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: that they're going to use it on, roll it out 467 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: to Android devices, other Android devices, and also iOS devices, 468 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: So this is clearly this is working really well. Again 469 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: Google Duplex, I've got to I think I have a 470 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: YouTube video on this. 471 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 2: If you search, I'll put it in the show notes. 472 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: But I saw this demo at Io. I think it 473 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: was last year in twenty eighteen. 474 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: It was just so cool. 475 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: It just blew everyone away, and clearly it's doing very well. 476 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: Facebook Messenger has a secret dark mode. 477 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 2: You should know about, so I will tell you. 478 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: I was not a big fan of dark mode, but 479 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: when I downloaded Mojave on my MacBook, they had the 480 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: dark mode. 481 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 2: I turned it on. I have been using it ever since, 482 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: and I understand if. 483 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: You work in like a dark room, you'd like it, 484 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: like a studio, editing bay, whatever. 485 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 2: But I don't know. I've just grown to like the 486 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: dark mode. 487 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: And on the new Samsung Galaxy S ten, I don't 488 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 1: know if it's automatic or what, but my phone switches 489 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: into dark mode after a certain time of day. Maybe 490 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: I turned that feature on I don't know, but it's 491 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: built into the operating system. And I got to say, 492 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: it's really cool when I'm looking at my phone late 493 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: at night before I go to bed. Well not really 494 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: late because I get up really early, but you know, 495 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: for me seven pm, it's in dark mode and it's 496 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: kind of cool, and it takes me a second to realize, like, 497 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: what's different about my phone right now? 498 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's in dark mode. So the reason I 499 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: tell you this. 500 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: Is because dark mode seems to be like all the 501 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: rage right like dark mode is just super hot right now. 502 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: And dark mode now has or Facebook Messenger now has 503 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: a dark mode, so you can activate it. It's a 504 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: secret activation right now. You send a crescent moon emoji 505 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: in any Messenger chat, so someone told me, including myself, 506 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: So you can send it to yourself and activate it. 507 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: If you don't have a friend to try this with, 508 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: Hopefully you have a friend to try it with, you know, 509 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: like come on, one of your friends should have a 510 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: good sense of humor. But you can send the crescent 511 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: moon emoji in a Messenger chat and next thing you know, 512 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: you'll get the setting to turn on dark mode. And 513 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: so dark mode on Facebook Messenger provides lower brightness while 514 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: maintaining contrast and vibrant vibrancy, so it cuts down on 515 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: the glare for use in low light situations. So Dark 516 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: Mode is available for all Messenger users around the world 517 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: on the latest version of iOS and Android. Just send 518 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: the crescent moon emoji and it will be in the 519 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: settings eventually. But this is how you activate it right now. 520 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, I got a lot of emails 521 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: when I mentioned this on TV, people saying, hey, Rich, 522 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: I can't find this, why is it? 523 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: You know, what's going on. 524 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: You have to update your Messenger app to get you know, 525 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: to use it. So my producer she she tried it 526 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: and she's like, Rich, I'm not getting it. And I said, well, 527 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: is your thing updated? And she looks you had like 528 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: eighty nine updates. I was like, uh, there you go. 529 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: So a lot of times, you know, on iPhone especially, 530 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: you just kind of forget or even on Android, you 531 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: just forget to update your apps. 532 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: Sometimes I don't. 533 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: Personally, I'm obsessed with updating my app, so I never 534 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: forget to do that. But if you haven't updated your 535 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: apps in a while, that's probably why you can't find 536 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: the dark mode another app I talked about on TV 537 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: this week, which i'll mention here, which is really cool. 538 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: It's called Aptive. I don't know if I mentioned it 539 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: in podcast before, but I did my segment on TV 540 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: this week about it and Aptive aap tiv is a 541 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: really cool fitness app. It is think like a workout app, 542 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 1: but no video, so it's all audio driven, so you choose. 543 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 2: My favorite part is just filtering the workouts. 544 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: They have them for running, they have them for cycling, 545 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: they have them for spinning, they've got them for treadmill, 546 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,959 Speaker 1: they've got them for the Staremaster, and it's great. You 547 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: pick how long you have for your workout, you pick 548 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: what kind of music you want, you pick your level 549 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: of intensity, beginner, intermedia, advance, and next thing you know, 550 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: you're off and you've got a personal trainer basically in 551 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: your ear telling you what to do. 552 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 2: It's amazing. I love it. 553 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: Highly recommend you check it out. You can use it 554 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: in the gym or anywhere else. Obviously you might need 555 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: some equipment for some of the workouts, but it's pretty 556 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: darn awesome. They've done a great job. It's super high quality. 557 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: They've got deals with the record label so the music 558 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: is actually legit and you're not listening to some manufactured 559 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: music on like garage Band. 560 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: Again. 561 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: If you want to read the full review, go to 562 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: my website richon tech dot tv and look for Aptive. 563 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: It's available for iOS and Android. The only thing I'll 564 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: say about them, which I don't personally like is they 565 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: are a little aggressive in their tactics for getting you 566 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: to sign up. So my advice sign up for the 567 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: free trial, and yes, I think you have to put 568 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: a credit card in, but even if you cancel in 569 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: your free trial, you will get a lot of emails 570 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: about signing up at cheaper and cheaper rates. So that's 571 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: my advice for you with Aptive. I think you're gonna 572 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: love it. It's fifteen bucks a month for full price, 573 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: by the way, one hundred dollars for the year. I 574 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: think at one point I got an email for either 575 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: seventy dollars for the whole year or even fifty dollars 576 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: for the whole year, which is a fantastic deal for 577 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: that app. Another app to know about if you have 578 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: a Mac is called Oversight. This is an app that 579 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: I found on product Hunt. I thought it was pretty 580 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: cool because it sends you a notification anytime a device 581 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: tries to activate your camera or your microphone on your computer. 582 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: And you might think, well, Max, don't have malware, But 583 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: that's not true. 584 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 2: They list a. 585 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: Couple of them, fruitfly crisis mokes. They all attempt to 586 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: spy on Mac users. And here's the thing you might 587 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: be saying, Well, Rich, I can tell when my microphone 588 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: or my webcam is on because my little light lights 589 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: up next. 590 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 2: To the webcam. 591 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: Yes, I get that, but number one, these guys are smart. 592 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: You think they don't know that there's a little light 593 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: when it's activated. They can figure out some way to 594 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: turn that light off. 595 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 2: Maybe they can't. Maybe I'm wrong. 596 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, But if I was trying to hack computers, 597 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: I try to activate the microphone and the webcam without 598 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: turning on the little light. But they're saying in this 599 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: little blog post about oversight is that these apps will 600 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: actually piggyback onto existing sessions. Like if you're using FaceTime 601 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: and your micro and your web I keep saying microphone 602 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: and your webcam light is already on. Guess what, my 603 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: little malware will piggyback on top of that. So you 604 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,719 Speaker 1: think you're just on a Skype call, but realistically, this 605 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: malware is still monitoring you because you have an active 606 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: webcam connection, and then even when you stop that Skype call, 607 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: you might not notice for a while that your light 608 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: is still on. So that's pretty interesting. But the app 609 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: is called oversite and you can get it at a 610 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: website called objective dash c see dot com Objective dashc 611 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: dot com and it monitors your max mic and webcam 612 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: and alerts you when it's activated or whenever a process 613 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: activates the webcam. And you have the option to allow 614 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: or block this every single time, or you can say, 615 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: like yeah, FaceTime wants to do it all allowed every time, 616 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: so it's up to you. But this is again available 617 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: for the Mac. 618 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 2: It's free. I've got installed on my computer, definitely liking it. 619 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anyone activate my stuff just yet without 620 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: me knowing, so that's a good thing. 621 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 2: But there you have it. 622 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: Another fun little app I discovered again on product hunt 623 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: this week, which is, by the way, a fantastic resource. 624 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: You got to go through a lot of stuff, but 625 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: they do everything that happens in the tech world is 626 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: posted there. 627 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 2: Really. 628 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: But this one's called twimage and so it does something 629 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 1: very simple. It's only for Android, by the way, but 630 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: it turns tweets into shareable images. So I don't know 631 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: if you've ever been surfing on Instagram, but you see 632 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: how people post, like what they said on Twitter to 633 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: their Instagram. 634 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 2: People that have a large following will do this. 635 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: They'll post something to Twitter, it goes viral or a 636 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: lot of people like it, and the next thing you know, 637 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: there's like a screenshot of it, format it and post 638 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: it on Instagram. 639 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: Well, this lets you do that pretty easily. But with 640 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 2: any tweet. 641 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: It could be your own tweet, it could be someone 642 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: else's tweet, something you saw, a quote that you saw 643 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: that you like. 644 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: So it's very simple. 645 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: You just basically download it on Android, You search for 646 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: the username of the person that you want to quote 647 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: their tweet, You tap the tweet you want, and next 648 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: thing you know, it puts it into that square format 649 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: and you can change the background. You can make it 650 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: a custom color, custom background, and then you can share 651 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: the square image to wherever you want Instagram or wherever. 652 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: If you want to do the. 653 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: Classic which is basically like just tweet on white background, 654 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: it does that, or you can do anything you want. 655 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: You can do various colors, you can do leopard skin, 656 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: whatever you want. But again the app is called Twimage 657 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: twimm Age. And finally in the podcast, Let's Talk Tesla. Now, 658 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: I was not obsessed with Tesla until they came out 659 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: with the actual thirty five thousand dollars version of the 660 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: Model three. And now I've built one no less than 661 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: like three times online because I really can't believe that 662 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: Elon Musk made good on his promise for a thirty 663 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars car. So it's there. When I first 664 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: looked it up last week. I think I might have 665 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: talked about it in the podcast. Even it literally was 666 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: shipping in like two weeks. 667 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: Now that has. 668 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: Slid to about six to eight weeks, so it's not 669 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: as immediate gratification. But again, Tesla doing a great job 670 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: with the getting the Model threes out there. Now they're 671 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: announcing the Model Why next week in Los Angeles. For 672 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: some reason, Tesla does not like me and they will 673 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: not respond to any of my emails when it comes 674 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: to these events. I don't know what I said about them, 675 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: what I did to them, but they. 676 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 2: Literally just it's so weird. I get to a certain 677 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 2: point with the Tesla folks where they're. 678 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, yeah, here, let me get you the 679 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: right person, and as soon as I get to the 680 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: right person, it's crickets. So clearly I'm on some kind 681 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: of list there at Tesla where they're like Rich Demiro 682 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: is not allowed to come to our events. Which is 683 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: so weird because five years ago when Tesla was starting, 684 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: six years ago, eight years ago, no more than that, 685 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: because I was at I think I was at Kekel, 686 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: Like I mean, I did an interview with Elon Musk 687 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: at the last at the event at the UH when 688 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: they launched. 689 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: I forget was that. 690 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: Tesla whatever it was, but like literally they're like, well, 691 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: would you like to interview Elon? 692 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, of course I would, and I got a 693 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 2: ride in the car. But after that, I. 694 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: Don't know what I did wrong, but clearly I am 695 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: not welcome at Tesla anymore. I don't know why, Tesla, 696 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: if you're listening, which I don't know why you'd be, 697 00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: but please, what do you have again? 698 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 2: It's me anyway, but they are. 699 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: They just unveiled the version three of their supercharger, and 700 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: this is in Fremont, California. 701 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: According to Teslarati. 702 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: I guess they were invited to this this event, but 703 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: really cool. So all you need to know about this 704 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: model of about this version three is that it charges 705 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: cars really fast. So I'm not going to go into 706 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: like the peak rate. I mean maybe you know what 707 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: that means, two hundred and fifty kilowatts per vehicle, but 708 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: basically the long range Model three can replenish seventy five 709 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: miles of its range in just five minutes. 710 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 2: That's awesome. 711 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: The in comparison, according to Teslarati, the V two would 712 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: have a peak rate of one hundred and twenty kilowats 713 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: per vehicle. So again, the V three upgrade would reduce 714 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: typical charging times to about fifteen minutes. That is phenomenal. 715 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: I think when I charged, I did do a test 716 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: drive with the Tesla. This was the last thing I 717 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: did with them. They lent me a the ludicrous edition 718 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: of the regular Tesla and it was amazing, and I 719 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: had to charge it a couple of times. I think 720 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: it was about a half an hour for a charge. 721 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: You're talking about half the time for a charge. So anyway, 722 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: that's the supercharger. It's just you know, the reason I 723 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: tell you this not you know, if you own a Tesla. 724 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: I you already know this stuff. But what I'm saying 725 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: is this stuff is advancing at a very rapid pace, 726 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: and it's pretty amazing when you have a company like 727 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: Tesla that just continues to push the envelope. I mean, 728 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: I was a naysayer. Maybe that's what happened. Maybe that's 729 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: why they don't like me, because I was like when 730 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: they when the Model three was coming out, I was like, 731 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: give me a break. Nobody's my friends were putting down 732 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars deposits. I was like, you're never going to 733 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: see this car, And sure enough, they all have it now. 734 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm I'm a little jealous because the 735 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: Tesla Model three. Every time I see it now on 736 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: the road, I'm like, I kind of want that car. 737 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: But you guys know, I'm a Dave Ramsey guy, and 738 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: for me to buy a brand new car is tough. 739 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: For me to buy an unproved electric car is tougher, 740 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: and for me to not buy a one to two 741 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: year old used car is toughest. So maybe when the 742 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: Model threes are like three years old, I'll put my 743 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: used you know, I'll buy one for twenty grand used. 744 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe that's what my plan should be. 745 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: But I do love the look and the feel of 746 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: the Model three. It's a great looking car, and the 747 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: fact that Elon has delivered props to him because against 748 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: all odds, and this company is not. 749 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 2: Out of the woods just yet. 750 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: They have everything against them, basically except consumers who love 751 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: what they're doing. You know, all the other car companies, 752 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, they all want them to fail, but consumers 753 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: love what they're doing. It's very clear, especially on the 754 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: roads of California, that this car is popular, and the 755 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: Model three. They've gotten so many of them out there, 756 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: more than I imagined, and they're they're continuing to just try 757 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: to do what they can to change the way that 758 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: we think about driving, especially with gas cars. So anyway, 759 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: love that they're doing that. And that's going to take 760 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: us to the end of today's show.

Things got almost seventy ratings on 778 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: Amazon and it's four and a half stars, which is amazing. 779 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: You know, it's not easy.

I love the tips, and it's easy 784 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: to understand. That's the most important part. This is not 785 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: a book for tech nerds. This is a book for 786 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: someone in your life that maybe a little bit tech 787 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: challenged or someone that even knows about the phone, and 788 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: you still think, like, hey, I bet you I can 789 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: teach them something about it. So that's the other way, 790 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: or the one way.
