1
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: What's going on. I'm rich Damiro. This is rich on

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Tech trying something just a little different this time around.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: So let me know what you think of it, whether

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: you like it, you hate it, or you want more.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: This is going to be kind of a roundup of

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: some of the things that are happening in the tech world,

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: just some stories that I come across, some my daily

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: research that I think are interesting and you should know about.

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: So let's just get right into it and start with

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: the Google Pixel three. All of the reviews are out,

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: the embargo has been lifted, and we're getting a lot

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: of different opinions on this phone, but they all seem

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: to center around the same thing. The camera, of course,

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: is amazing. There are little tweaks, little things that have

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: been improved, and of course there are some things that

16
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: people don't like, most notably the notch. Everyone's going crazy

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: over that. Now. Personally, I've been testing the smaller of

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: the two, the Google Pixel three. I will say that

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: Google has improved pretty much everything that I had a

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: problem with personally on the last devices. So for me,

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: it was mainly the fact that I could not use

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: this as a content creation tool because it did not

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: have the ability to have an external mic input on

24
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: the native camera app, and I am very excited to

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: announce that, yes, you can finally use an external mic

26
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: input on the video camera. Now for most people that's

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: not a big deal, but for me it is. And

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: I also think it's a bigger deal in the scheme

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: of things because think about it. When you think about

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: all these YouTubers, what phone are they using. They're all

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: using the iPhone because they're plugging accessories in, they're recording themselves,

32
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: they're vlogging. And if you try out a PIXEL and

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: you realize that you can't do these things with it, well,

34
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: guess what, You're not really going to use it much.

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: So in my day to day I will say that

36
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: I found that the phone is a bit laggy, which

37
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: is kind of odd, and I feel like it wasn't

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: laggy before. So maybe in the next couple of days,

39
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: when Google puts out their big software update for day

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: one of the Pixel, some of those things will be fixed.

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: But I actually had to reformat my device, so I

42
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: said it up when I was in New York when

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I got it, and then when I got home, I

44
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: just could not deal with what kind of like the

45
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: jumpiness that was happening on it, and so I ended

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: up wiping it clean, and instead of doing a restore

47
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: for my old device, my old Android, I just ended

48
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: up installing everything again, which is kind of a pain

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: because you have to log into every app and download

50
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: every app, and set up your home screens and go

51
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: through every single alarm and every single setting and redo

52
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: it all. And I don't particularly like doing that every

53
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: single time. But I felt like I wanted to give

54
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: this thing the full benefit of the doubt and see

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: if it was something that got transferred over that was

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: kind of weird, or if it was the actual device.

57
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: I would say I'm getting less of the problem now,

58
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: but it's still a little bit jumpy compared to the

59
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: way I think it should be, and I think that

60
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: hopefully that will be improved. But otherwise, so what can

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: I say about the Pixel? I mean, personally, I think

62
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start recommending this device more so than ever

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: because I find that it really does everything you need,

64
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: and I think the camera is really amazing. Software is

65
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: nice and polished, the apps they leave a little bit

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: to be desired. I know that's not Google's fault, but

67
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: when you look at what you can accomplish on the

68
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: apps on the iPhone, they're just better. I mean almost

69
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: every single app that is made by a big company

70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: outside of Google. So when you look at Google apps,

71
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: those are all better on Android. When it comes to Gmail,

72
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to things like Google Voice, when it

73
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: comes to Google Photos, Calendar maps, all of those things

74
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: are better on the Android. But when it comes to

75
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: these other apps like Instagram and Twitter, even something like

76
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Audible which I use for my audiobooks, Spotify kind of

77
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: on the fence. I think that works very similar on

78
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: both of them. Yelp pretty similar, Netflix, pretty similar. YouTube.

79
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: Obviously Google apps, so that's going to work better. The

80
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: one app that I have a major problem with is Facebook.

81
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: I use Creator on the iPhone and it's just amazing.

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: If you want to keep in touch with people, keep

83
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: in touch with your fans, Facebook Pages is terrible on

84
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: the Android, and so is the Creator port so to me,

85
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: and again, I'm coming from sort of the content creator

86
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: journalism kind of world where I am looking to do

87
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: content creation on my devices. So for the average person,

88
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: probably the camera is going to be the most important

89
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: aspect in some of these other apps. But I understand

90
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: when it comes from switching to the Android platform from

91
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 1: the iOS platform. It's tough, and especially giving up things

92
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: like FaceTime and I Message. I Message. You can basically

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: I message almost anyone in the world, right because they

94
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: seem to be on there. And when it comes to Android,

95
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, when I go to text someone,

96
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure which number is the right one.

97
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: On iOS, it just sort of highlights in blue the

98
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: number that's the right one for them get to get

99
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: to their I message, and that's really helpful. I just

100
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: find that I kind of missed that when I'm using

101
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: my Android device. So not a deal breaker, but it's

102
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: definitely one of those things that does make life a

103
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: little more complicated. And then FaceTime. Of course, you know,

104
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: my entire f family is on iPhone back in New Jersey,

105
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm not gonna it's really tough to

106
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: get them to download Duo. I was talking to someone

107
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: at work today and he was joking that, you know

108
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: who's on duo, you know, like, who says duo me?

109
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: No one that never comes up. Taking a look at

110
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: some of the headlines on tech meme, so, I mean

111
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: the Verge saying the best camera gets a better phone

112
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: with a far better screen, loud speakers, but the notch

113
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: is doofy. I don't know. I don't have the one

114
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: with the notch, so I really can't talk much about that.

115
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't find the notches on any other device has

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: ever bothered me, so it's really not that big of

117
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: a deal. The screen is definitely better the phone. You know.

118
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I call this a sort of boring device,

119
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: and it kind of is. It's not the most exciting

120
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: device out there, but it's it's like a quiet confidence.

121
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: Like I've said before in my previous podcast, it's just

122
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: one of these things that it works. The pictures are

123
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: pretty amazing, the software works overall, and it's just one

124
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: of these devices that just kind of you don't have

125
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: to think much about it. Can you do as many

126
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: of the crazy cool things you can do on the iPhone?

127
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Probably not, but in other aspects it does really cool

128
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: things like the call screening feature. So generally I'm always

129
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: kind of avoiding those calls, which I kind of still

130
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: believe you should because if you think about it, when

131
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: you get scam calls and spam calls and robo calls,

132
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: I've always recommended to people to never pick them up,

133
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: because if you pick them up, it signifies to them

134
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: that your phone number is live, right. And I'm sure

135
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: if these people have these computer systems, maybe they're not

136
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: that sophisticated to know that, okay, this number picked up,

137
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: let's hammer them now with a lot more calls. Maybe

138
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: they're not that smart, but to me, it seems like

139
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: they probably are. And I've noticed, you know, I get

140
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: a couple of these robo calls, you know, every couple

141
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: of days, and I've been using the screen, the call

142
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: screen feature on the PIXEL, and it's actually kind of fun,

143
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: and I don't mind having the computer pick it up

144
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: because at least I know if the call is is

145
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: a robo call or not, and I can kind of

146
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: decide whether to answer it. So today I had a

147
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: call that I was unsure of came from a number

148
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: that was near mind, and I was like, I don't know,

149
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: it could be someone that I called, could be a

150
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: person called me back. But the other thing on the

151
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: PIXEL is that if you have you know, basically Pixel

152
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: has like free caller ID, and if a phone number

153
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: comes in without any call or ID on it, it's

154
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: kind of a giveaway that that's going to be a problem.

155
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Let's see what else c neet Pixel three XL big

156
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: phone with a fantastic camera and a big notch Gizmoto

157
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: the other way to make a killer phone. And by

158
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: that they're probably alluding to the software versus the hardware,

159
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: because the hardware on the Pixel is not anything special.

160
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm happy that they upgraded the processor, but

161
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like where the iPhone kind

162
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: of evolves and just gets better and better with all

163
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: these cool new features. No, it looks almost identical to

164
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: last year's model. And Gadget says Google's hardware takes a

165
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: backseat to software. Android Police says, come for the camera,

166
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: stay for everything else. Ours Technica says Google software deserves

167
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: better than this hardware. I agree. If it was up

168
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: to me, I would go with the Samsung hardware and

169
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: the Google software. That to me is kind of the

170
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: killer Android combination. And I remember back in the day,

171
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: I had one of those I bought back when Samsung

172
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: was doing this. They would do a gosh I forget

173
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: what it was called. It was like a not pure Android.

174
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: It was vanilla Android. It maybe it was pure. Basically,

175
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: they were installing Stock Android on a Galaxy device and

176
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember which one I bought. That was it.

177
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, eight hundred bucks or something

178
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: like that, and I scratched the screen and I was

179
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: so mad because I really that was like one of

180
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: my favorite devices because I had the Google Stock software,

181
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: but I had the beauty of being the Samsung hardware.

182
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: And I think that Google and and Samsung should really

183
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: think about this a little bit harder because Samsung is

184
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: just killing it with the hardware and Google is just

185
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: killing it with the software. So why don't we bring

186
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: something back like this? I mean, we're trying to compete

187
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: against iOS and iPhone dominance, and I get it dominance,

188
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: I mean here in the US. But the reality is

189
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: why not put everything you got towards that and do

190
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: something like a stock Android version of a Samsung device?

191
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: And the other thing. The other idea is why not

192
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: make the pixel camera you know, ported officially to these

193
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: other devices and make it an option, because it seems

194
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: like a lot of this stuff is software oriented. People

195
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: are already porting the camera app to other devices like

196
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: the Essential and the one plus phone, So why not

197
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: just give these phonemakers access to this camera and kind

198
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: of I think it would just expand the Android kind

199
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: of ecosystem in a much better way. And I think

200
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: more people would would kind of take it more seriously

201
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: if they knew they were getting an amazing device that

202
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: has the hardware, amazing software that has the hardware that

203
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: they want. One thing that's been kind of hit or

204
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: missed for me personally on the Pixel three is the

205
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: charging stand. So I actually had to move it away

206
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: from my bed and into my office because it was

207
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: just unreliable. So the Pixel charging stand is basically a

208
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: new wireless charging stand for the Pixel that kind of

209
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: reacts specifically to it. So when you place your phone

210
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: on there, up pops a special screen that you can

211
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: kind of set up so you can have it become

212
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: a photo frame while you're not using it. You can

213
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: have it basically it displays a couple of little assistant

214
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: one touch features down below, so you can, you know,

215
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: play your favorite playlist, whatever it predicts or thinks that

216
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: you want to do. Those buttons will be right on screen.

217
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: And I love this, and I love the fact that

218
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: they added wireless charging to the Pixel three, but I

219
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: still think in general wireless charging is very unreliable because

220
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: if your phone is off the charger, even by a

221
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: mirror like a millimeter, it's like your phone may not charge.

222
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: And to me, I thought my phone was charging. There

223
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: was two nights out of like maybe five nights where

224
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: it just didn't charge, and that's very unacceptable. I woke

225
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: up with a sixty percent battery, which was basically where

226
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: I went to sleep on the thing, and that's a surprise,

227
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: and I found that I was like trying to recover

228
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: the whole day. When you don't start with a full battery,

229
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to recover the whole day basically from that

230
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: battery situation. So I moved the pixel the charging stand

231
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: to my office, so I like my phone on there

232
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: as kind of a place to see it and just

233
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: kind of have it charging and I can monitor it

234
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: more like I just popped it on there and it's

235
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: it says charging rapidly. And the thing that popped up

236
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: with the assistant is tell me a joke, So I

237
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: guess it thinks that in the afternoon on a Monday,

238
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: I want to hear a joke from my phone. So

239
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: that's eighty dollars. I definitely recommend it. I mean, if

240
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: you don't care about the stuff on screen, the special

241
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: kind of assistant mode that it pops into, you can

242
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: use any wireless charger with the PIXEL you'll be just fine.

243
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: But again, personally, I think at night bedside, I'm just

244
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: going with the regular plug in charge because that, to me,

245
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: is more reliable. I know my phone is plugged in,

246
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: I know it's going to work, and I don't really

247
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: have to think about it. But bottom line, and I can't,

248
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, say one hundred percent. I've only been using

249
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: the phone for a couple of days, but I will

250
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: say that for me personally, the Pixel, other than all

251
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: little issues that I mentioned when it comes to software

252
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: and some of the bigger features on it, for me,

253
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: they have fixed a lot of the stuff that would

254
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: keep me on the iPhone side. So personally, I like

255
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: the way that the Android operating system is more cohesive

256
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: than iOS iOS. I always feel like apps are trying

257
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: to fit into that whole sandbox that Apple puts them in,

258
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: which is great for security, but not so good for

259
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: things like, you know, just various little tasks that you're

260
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: trying to do on the iPhone sometimes can be more complicated.

261
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: I think on the flip side, a lot of things

262
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: are simpler because of the way they set things up,

263
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: where you know that everything is just kind of sandboxed,

264
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: and that's the way it is, right. So but personally

265
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: I will be recommending the Pixel for sure. I think

266
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: that a lot of people will be happy with it.

267
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad they added headphones. That was an another big thing,

268
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: because what a pain just to get a pair of

269
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: headphones for this thing, right, I mean, USBC, I get it.

270
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Not everyone's plugging in headphones anymore, but the reality is

271
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: it's nice to have a pair of headphones in the

272
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: box when you purchase a smartphone. I've been wearing the

273
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: headphones a lot, even though I have a pair of

274
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: AirPods that I can pair with my androids, But I

275
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: really like the idea of just plugging in the headphones

276
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: and they work and you go right, and plus they

277
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: have assistant built in, which is really nice. So I

278
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: think that overall, for the price and the features and

279
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: what you're getting, especially when it comes to the camera,

280
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: the Pixel is really nice. I think that the iPhone

281
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: is still the gold standard when it comes to mobile devices,

282
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: but I think like the Pixel is definitely is definitely

283
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: giving people a second option, you know, especially with Samsung

284
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: out there. Samsung is great, but there's some little things

285
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't like about Samsung, and I think that the

286
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: Pixel kind of addresses those. And again, like I said,

287
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: for all the little things they corrected for me personally,

288
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: I think that they did a really nice job. And

289
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: if you can live without the I Message of the

290
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: World and the FaceTime of the world, and all the

291
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: amazing app features that come with iOS and all of

292
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: the slick integration with things like the Apple Watch and

293
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, your computer and your messages I Message on computer,

294
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: all those little things, if you can live without those,

295
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: the Pixel is kind of a nice alter. Now let's

296
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: move on to a phone that's making a comeback. The Palm.

297
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: They are returning as a sort of a small what

298
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: they're calling ultramobile smartphone. So this is a tiny, little

299
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: palm sized device literally fits in the palm of your hand.

300
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: It has just a tiny display three point three inches

301
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: and this is being now produced by TCL. So that's

302
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: the big Chinese conglomerate. They have some really popular TVs.

303
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: They're a big electronics maker. They also own BlackBerry. They

304
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: also own Alcatel, so all these brands in the mobile space,

305
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: that's the company behind them. But this new little phone

306
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: is three hundred and fifty dollars and it's being seen

307
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: as an accessory. So the common complaint nowadays is that

308
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: we're all on our phones way too much, and on

309
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: the weekends. And I've had this kind of this little

310
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: theory too, is that you know, maybe on the weekends,

311
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: i'd have a secondary phone. You know, have you have

312
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: you heard of that light phone. It's kind of like

313
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: that phone that just has a dial tone, you know,

314
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: or so to say, it's just a phone that can

315
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: dial numbers. Right, So no camera, no no MP three player,

316
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: no nothing. Now, the Palm does have a camera, it

317
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: does have Android on it, so it is a real phone,

318
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: but it's not meant to be your primary phone. So

319
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: you actually it's exclusive to Verizon and you link it

320
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: up using I don't know what Verizon calls it, the

321
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: number share kind of thing, where it's basically you're activating

322
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: a second line, but it's the same phone number as

323
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: your primary line. So that's an additional ten dollars a month.

324
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of like what the Apple Watch does with

325
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: the iPhone and the Apple Watch cellular is kind of

326
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: the closest thing I can think of to this scenario

327
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: where we're so addicted to our devices we actually have

328
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: to rescue ourselves from ourselves, right, So if we're out

329
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: of sight, out of mind, you don't really think about

330
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: it as much. So if you're wearing the Apple Watch

331
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: with the cellular, you can still go out, enjoy your day,

332
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: enjoy your life with your kids, but also be connected

333
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: in case of an emergency or if you need a

334
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: cell phone for anything. The downside to that is that

335
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: there's no camera on the Apple Watch, and that's one

336
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: of the main reasons people have a cell phone now

337
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: on them is we want to be able to take

338
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: pictures wherever we go. So this palm kind of addresses that.

339
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: But the reality is I find this to be way

340
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: too complicated. I mean, two different cell phone devices are

341
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: kind of crazy to have. You're gonna keep swapping them out,

342
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep what Okay, oh wait, I'm going hold on,

343
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: let me think where I'm going tonight. Okay, do I

344
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: want to take good pictures? Because you know, the camera

345
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: on this thing is not going to be very good, right,

346
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: So it doesn't even matter what the megapixels are, But

347
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: the reality is it's a small device. It's not meant

348
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: as your primary device. It's just not going to be

349
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: as capable as your normal phone. But it's one of

350
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: those ideas that I can understand why people like the

351
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: idea of it, right, they like the fantasy of having

352
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: less distractions in their life. But the reality is we

353
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: can't go without our phones. You know, it's kind of tough,

354
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: especially your primary device. And then all of a sudden,

355
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: now you're setting up two different devices. So every time

356
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: you switch between them, you're thinking. You know, your muscle

357
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: memory is changing, the way you're using it is changing.

358
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: You have to think about, oh, do I need Uber

359
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: on this device? Yes, okay, it's it linked to my

360
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: Uber account. It's just too much to think about. So

361
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't think this thing is going to do very well.

362
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: I think it might have a lot of interest in

363
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: circles where people talk about it, talk about wanting something

364
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: like this, but no one's going to actually get this thing.

365
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: And three hundred and fifty dollars is a lot of

366
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: money for a secondary device, and it's got a very

367
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: underpowered processor. It's got a a last year's processor, so

368
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem like something that a lot of

369
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: people would get, but it seems like something that is

370
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: solving a problem that we have, but the solution is

371
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: not very good. So I think the solution in the

372
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: future will probably probably be more kind of connected smart

373
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: watches and not something like this. Now, an app that

374
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: was launched today was really interesting. This is from Adobe,

375
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: and this is really cool for the content creators out there,

376
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: including myself. And this is another problem that we have

377
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: is you want to be able to create content on

378
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: the go. And for me, I always talk about how

379
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm kind of locked into using a MacBook Pro right

380
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: because a MacBook Pro gives me Final Cut, and that's

381
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: the program that I use to edit my videos. Right now,

382
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting there editing crazy amounts of videos, but

383
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 1: I do want to make some things for social media,

384
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: do a quick quick cut here and there, maybe add

385
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: some graphics. Recently, I did a story on going to

386
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: the the Amazon four Star store in New York City.

387
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: If you haven't watched that, you can find it in

388
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: the show notes. But that did take a lot of

389
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: horsepower because I edited a whole bunch of stuff on

390
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 1: Final Cut, but most of the time. I don't need

391
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: all that horsepower. And so this Adobe premiere rush CC

392
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: is basically a little tiny app that works across all

393
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: your platforms. So right now they're launching it on sort

394
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: of the iPhone and the iPad, and it's going to

395
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: be a desktop app and also on Android. And in

396
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: the video they show, they show the social influencer that's

397
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: using this kind of starting a video on her iPhone

398
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: and then finishing it on her computer. And I find

399
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: that really fascinating because that's not a bad idea at all,

400
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: something that I've never done. And the idea is that

401
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: this takes advantage of the cloud. So all of your video,

402
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: I guess, must go up to the cloud, which takes

403
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: a while. Because that video that I did when I

404
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: was in New York, I shot all my own stuff

405
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: for the Pixel three and I overnighted it in dropbox

406
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: to my photographer slash editor in Los Angeles at KTLA

407
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: and it was like thirty five gigs and Mann did

408
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: that take a long time. So I don't really know

409
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: how this is gonna work. Maybe if you have short clips,

410
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: it's not that big of a deal. But I love

411
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: this idea. I can't wait to try out this program

412
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Right now, it's only available for iOS, so I have

413
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: to download it to my iPad, but I'm looking forward

414
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: to this being across all platforms. It sounds really cool

415
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: and a couple of things on the website when it

416
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: comes to this program, it looked like there is a

417
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: free version of it, but then there's also a paid version.

418
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: So let's see share right from the app to your

419
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: favorite social media platforms. It looks like they have a

420
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: whole bunch of cool graphics and easy kind of formatting

421
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: built in for Instagram, so if you want to do

422
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: something that's square, you can do that. I've got a

423
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: bunch of styles which is really cool. Let's see everything

424
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: is synced to the clouds. Your latest edit is always

425
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: at your fingertips. Available on iOS, Mac, and DOS, so

426
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: it looks like it's available now on those. Sign up

427
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: to be notified when it's available on Android and Premiere.

428
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Rush is included with Premiere Pro and as part of

429
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: the Creative Cloud All Apps plan, So if you want

430
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: to start for free, you can get three exports, two

431
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: gigs of cloud storage, and Adobe fonts. If you get

432
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: the Let's See Rush single app, I guess you can

433
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: buy it all by itself with unlimited exports. See how

434
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: much that is? I wonder if he even tells me, Oh,

435
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month, Okay, so you just have to

436
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: go monthly plan is ten? Oh? I see, so the

437
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: monthly plan is ten dollars for that if you want

438
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: the all access. I think the Creative Cloud is like

439
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. So I don't know. If you're an influencer

440
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: and you're doing this kind of stuff, ten bucks a

441
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: month is easily worth it if it makes your life

442
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 1: just a little simpler. Moving on now to Microsoft. So

443
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: this is the thing. I get these these tech support

444
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: scam kind of emails all the time from people saying

445
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: that they fell for it, And you think that nobody

446
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: falls for this stuff, but you do. And I thought

447
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: this was just crazy. Microsoft came out with this little

448
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: article about how they're going to partner with AARP to

449
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of stop these scams, but I thought this number

450
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: was crazy. Each month, Microsoft receives about eleven thousand complaints

451
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: from people across the globe who have been the victim

452
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: of a tech support scam, with fraudsters pretending to be

453
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: from reputable tech companies, including Microsoft, Dell and Apple eleven

454
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: thousand complaints. That's from people who say they've been victims.

455
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: So how many people are actually getting these things? And

456
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what the point of this whole

457
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: article is. I guess they're just talking about how they're

458
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: fighting back with AARP. But they did release a new

459
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: survey focused on these tech support scams, and okay, October's

460
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, so I guess that's why they're

461
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: talking about it. But let's see. So, if faced with

462
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: unsolicited contacts from a reputable tech company, thirty eight percent

463
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: of consumers would try to block that company from making

464
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: contact in the future. I don't know that that means.

465
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you going to do? Block the

466
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: phone number? They're just going to call back from a

467
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: different one. Thirty three percent would look up the issue online.

468
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: Forty six percent rely on search engines to research tech

469
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: support scams. None of that means anything to me, but

470
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: it says that three out of five consumers has been

471
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: exposed to a tech support scam of the previous twelve months.

472
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: And what I've noticed is that I actually followed one

473
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: of these things, like that got the phone call at work,

474
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: and I wanted to see what they tried to do,

475
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: and it was pretty wild. The lady had me immediately

476
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: go to a website that I downloaded some software that

477
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: would like take over my computer. I didn't get to

478
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: do all this stuff because obviously I don't want to

479
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: take over my computer, but I was just kind of

480
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: listening to what she said, and it was very convincing

481
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: and just kind of crazy that I see how people

482
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: can fall for this stuff, especially if you're of a

483
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: certain generation or of a certain age, let's say. I mean,

484
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: I think the younger kids probably wouldn't fall for it

485
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: as much as the older people, which is why they're

486
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: teaming up with AARP to do this. But scammers, according

487
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: to this Microsoft article, use changing technology and more sophisticated

488
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: tactics with phishing emails. That's probably the main way phony

489
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: websites and pop up windows to gain access. And that's

490
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: the thing. So when you get one of these pop

491
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: up windows, it kind of takes over your computer screen. Now,

492
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 1: people like you know, my mom and dad wouldn't really

493
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: understand how to do like a control alt delete or

494
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, just a way to figure out how to

495
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: get around that menu or that window. That's taking up

496
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: their whole screen, right, so they think there's something wrong

497
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: and they have to call that number, whereas you know,

498
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: someone that's a little bit more tech savvy would just

499
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: kind of get rid of that screen and move on

500
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: with life. So anyway, I just thought that number was

501
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: really crazy, eleven thousand people every single month. But hopefully

502
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: they'll figure out something with this, because it just feels

503
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: like this is a major problem, and they give some

504
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: tips on how to do this. You know, don't if

505
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: you get an unsolicited pop up message on your device,

506
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: don't click it, don't call the number. But the reality is,

507
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: you know, the tough part is that come companies are

508
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: always using new technology to sort of help you get

509
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: in touch with them, like, you know, like let's say

510
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: you're out and about and now the new thing is

511
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: that banks are texting you when you use your credit

512
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: card somewhere. Right, Let's say you're using your credit card

513
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: overseas and the first time you use it at a terminal,

514
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: it like texts you and it says, hey, did you

515
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: just authorize that charge? And you text back it says

516
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: text back yes or no. This happened with me with

517
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: American Express the other day, and I said, yes, I

518
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: just used my card there. And you know you might think, like, okay, well,

519
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: that's interesting that they're doing that. I never really asked

520
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: to have that happen. I guess I gave them my

521
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: phone number at some point. Well, now you think about

522
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: these scam artists. They take whatever is happening legitimately and

523
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: they spin it to their benefit. Right, so they know

524
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: that pop up ads and all these pop up windows

525
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: in your computer tell you when something's going wrong. They

526
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: make theirs look just like it, and that's how they

527
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: get past people because they're kind of doing stuff that

528
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: looks similar to what's already happening, and that's how they

529
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: hook people. Kodak, I think, okay, speaking, I guess we're

530
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: on the older generation here, but this is really cool Kodak.

531
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure if this is the way to

532
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: go about it, but I just love the idea that

533
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: people are getting hip to digitizing their old stuff. If

534
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: you watch me on KTLA, you know that I was

535
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: doing my own digitizing of some of my old videos

536
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: and I used my own system I just bought in Elgado.

537
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: It was a digital converter kind of thing that you

538
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: hook up to your computer to the USB drive. Then

539
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: you have to hook up like a a VCR or

540
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: a camcorder, pop in your tape. It records it to

541
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: your computer and then you can go on with your

542
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: Mary life and throw out the tape and you've got

543
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: a digitized version of this thing that you can upload somewhere. Well. Now,

544
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: Kodak has introduced the Kodak Digitizing Box, and this is

545
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: a service where you just dump a whole bunch of

546
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: media in this box, ship it to them, and they

547
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: will send it back to you digitally convert it so

548
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: you can get it on DVDs, you can get it

549
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: as a digital download, you can get it on a

550
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: flash drive, and you also at all that stuff. Let's see,

551
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: do they send back the tapes. I'm guessing they send

552
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: back the tape. But this is neat because they have

553
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: four options of service with nineteen different types of media

554
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: that they can convert, including VHS tapes, real to real

555
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: audio tape, super eight thirty five millimeters, slides, and picture negatives. So,

556
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: if you think about it, this is a trusted company,

557
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: which you know obviously is Kodak. But Kodak is doing

558
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: this weird thing nowadays where they just basically use their branding,

559
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: so they're actually using a Oh interesting, Okay, that's interesting.

560
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this. I just googled the amb media, right,

561
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: which is what they're using to Okay, hold on, this

562
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting. So amb Media is what they're

563
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: using to actually do the digitization. But when I google that,

564
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: it comes up as Legacy Box, so, which is Legacy

565
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: Boxes pretty much the company that does all of this stuff. Yeah,

566
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: and interesting. Okay, so this is basically just a Kodak

567
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: branded version of Legacy Box. So that's interesting. So I

568
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: wonder if the I wonder if the pricing is different.

569
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: So Legacy Box, let's see the pricing there versus the Kodak.

570
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: So Legacy Box, let's see pricing. Let's see so three

571
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: piece starter is eighty seven dollars to convert up to

572
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: three tapes. And if you look at the Kodak digitizing box,

573
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: let's see how much that one is get started. Let's

574
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: see how much it is. So there's see pricing. So

575
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: their pricing is three tapes is sixty nine ninety nine. Interesting,

576
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: So maybe you go with the Kodak one. It's the

577
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: same thing and you're gonna get it for cheaper. Now,

578
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: I know Legacy Box has a lot of codes out

579
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: there for discounts, so maybe theodac one does not. But anyway,

580
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: that's it. So my only concern with all these things

581
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I love, and I recommend one hundred percent, by the way,

582
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: that you get your stuff digitized. Very very important to

583
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: do that because these tapes are turning into mush not

584
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: so much to film. Maybe I don't know. I don't

585
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: have film, but I do have tapes, and I can

586
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: tell you the VHS tapes are just about gone, So

587
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: get those things digitized. Some of the other newer ones

588
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: from the nineties, like the High eight and all those

589
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: kind of tapes, those are still doing pretty well. But

590
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 1: just get this stuff digitized. It's so much easier, by

591
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: the way, to not have a box of this stuff

592
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: laying around your house. Right. That's getting hot, it's getting

593
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: cold in the different seasons you probably have in your garage.

594
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: It's not being kept at the proper temperatures and storage

595
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: conditions it should be, so it's basically being abused. And

596
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: these are your memories. So get this stuff done. You

597
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: can do it yourself if you want to put the

598
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: time into it. But again, that's the best way to

599
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: do it. I feel like because you can monitor the process.

600
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: You can watch the process, you can see what happens.

601
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: But you can also you don't have to let your

602
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: tapes leave your your house, right, so you control them

603
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: at all times. The problem with sending in the legacy

604
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: box and the Kodak stuff is that, yes, I'm sure

605
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: nine thousand times out of ten thousand times it's fine,

606
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: or nine hundred ninety nine times out of ten thousand

607
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: times it's fine. But the one time that it gets

608
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: lost in the mail, that's the problem. And if it's

609
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: your problem, that's a big problem. So if you can

610
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: find a place locally now in Los Angeles where I am,

611
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: there's a ton of places that will do this. In

612
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: smaller cities, it's going to be really tough. It's just

613
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: not one of those things that's a huge business. So

614
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like just you got to

615
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: maybe just send them out a couple at a time,

616
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously it's cheaper to do more because

617
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, you just they just send you a big box.

618
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: So if you do forty tapes is eleven hundred dollars,

619
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: which is, by the way, a ton of money, so

620
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: you can do it yourself for basically unlimited, for a

621
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: lot cheaper. The problem is, and I've talked about this

622
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: in a previous podcast, is you have to have the

623
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: device to actually play the tape or the media, and

624
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: especially with some of these old things, you just don't

625
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: have that around your house. So it may be worth

626
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars, because when I was looking online for

627
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: a replacement camquarter, they were expensive. People know that that

628
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: people want to buy these things to do this. So

629
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily cheap to digitize this stuff if you're

630
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: doing it yourself, if you don't have the right equipment.

631
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: So something to keep in mind. All right, moving on now,

632
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan is back to life as a hologram at

633
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Siami Valley, California. This

634
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: is a library, his presidential Library, which I've been to.

635
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: It's just north of LA it's kind of out in

636
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: the valley and it's kind of a hike, but it's

637
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's in the LA area, and now they

638
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: have a hologram of Ronald Reagan. This costs one point

639
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: five million dollars and basically you're put in this room,

640
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: where a three D version of Reagan appears on the

641
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: stage in one of three scenes. According to USA Today,

642
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: he's either riding speaking from the back of a train

643
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: during a nineteen eighty four tour, or he's in his

644
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: horse riding attire at his California ranch. Or he's at

645
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: the Oval office after stepping off Marine one, which is

646
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: the presidential helicopter. So I love this idea. I think

647
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: that these holograms are becoming more and more realistic looking.

648
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: And I just did a story for KTLA on Roy Orbison,

649
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: who was transformed into a hologram for a new tour

650
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: that they're doing. So this company that did this one

651
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: was called Base Hologram. The one that's doing this Ronald

652
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: Reagan one is called Hologram USA. So there's a lot

653
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: of these competing hologram companies out there because they see

654
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: this as big business in the future because they can

655
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: basically bring anyone back. Now, it's not easy. In the

656
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: case of Reagan. You know, they did a body double

657
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: that kind of moves and that's you know, and then

658
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: they put a fake head that they had to make

659
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: a model out of. But then they have to get

660
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, the original audio. So basically they have to

661
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: use they have to match up original audio with new

662
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: kind of three D video because just because you have

663
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: a video of someone that's passed away doesn't mean that

664
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: it clearly one hundred percent matches up to what you

665
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: need to do to make this thing look realistic. So

666
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: with the case of Roy Orbison, same thing. It basically

667
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: used an original recording that he had made, but then

668
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: they had to recreate kind of everything else his likeness

669
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: around that. So anyway, but this is this is really interesting.

670
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: And the other thing I noticed is that these companies

671
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: are doing I did a story with another company that

672
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: was kind of beaming people in. Like Tony Robbins is

673
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: a big believer in this apparently, where he can do

674
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: a seminar or I guess a conference whatever he calls him,

675
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: that he does where he is in you know, let's

676
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: say he can be in his house in Beverly Hills

677
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: and he can be doing a live interactive concert or

678
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: a conference with people in Tokyo, right, so you don't

679
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: have to travel as much, but to the people in

680
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: that room in Tokyo, it feels like he's with them

681
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: for all intense purposes because he can interact with them.

682
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: He can look at that, he could talk back and

683
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: forth with them. That's you know, obviously, with a living person,

684
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: it makes things a little bit more flexible. But the

685
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: neat thing about this hologram stuff is that it just

686
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: keeps getting better and better. And when I saw it

687
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: in real life, it was pretty amazing. I saw myself

688
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: up on a screen and I was beamed there live,

689
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: and that looked really cool. And then I saw the

690
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: other people and it's quite convincing because it does look

691
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: like they're there, and you know it's fake, but you

692
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: know it's a hologram, but it's still is pretty cool

693
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: to see in person. So I'll probably have to check

694
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: this out at the Reagan Library just to see how

695
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: it looks. But I'm sure the visitors there love it.

696
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: They get four hundred thousand a year. According to this

697
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: article I read Amazon, Alexa is going to tell you

698
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: when you're sick. So there's a new patent filing. And

699
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: I don't really cover patent filings most of the time.

700
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: I know there's always patent stuff for Apple and what

701
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: all these companies are working on, so this one makes

702
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Alexa can notice a user's illness

703
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: by detecting a change in their voice. So apparently if

704
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: it does, it can suggest medicine or a recipe for

705
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: chicken noodle soup. This is all according to the next

706
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: Web who looked at the patent, and they can also

707
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: detect or the patent wants to be able to detect

708
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: things like emotional states, sub spotting things like happiness, joy sadness, anger, boredom,

709
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: and fear, the user's voice, what it sounds like if

710
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 1: they're sleepy or crying, and what the user is doing

711
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: by analyzing background noise. So this makes a lot of

712
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: sense because these personal assistants are The goal of them

713
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: is to make them more personal, and the more that

714
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: they can do that, the better it is for the

715
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: end user. Now, some of this stuff may sound creepy, like,

716
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, alex is going to know that I'm sick. Well,

717
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it just makes sense for what Amazon wants

718
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: to do, which is either sell you stuff or suggest stuff,

719
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: or react in a certain way. I mean, if you're

720
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: crying and you ask alexis something, you don't want her

721
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: to have a joyful voice in telling you a joke.

722
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: You want her to have some empathy, and it's just

723
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: like a real person, would you want them to react

724
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: to the way that you're sort of feeling. And so

725
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: that's why they're doing this. And I think that of

726
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 1: course Google and Siri will do just about the same

727
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: in the future, but it's just neat to kind of

728
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: keep track of what they're looking at doing with these systems,

729
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: because I love these systems. I don't think they're perfect

730
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: just yet, but I do think that they are getting

731
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: to a place where they're getting pretty useful to me.

732
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: And when they can, you know, make them kind of

733
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: basically feel like a person that knows you really well,

734
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: I think that that's going to be really cool when

735
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: it comes to the all right email came in through

736
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: my website, Rich on tech dot TV. This is from Mark.

737
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Rich, I'm traveling to Italy on October

738
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: twenty seventh. Verizon wants me to wants to charge me

739
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: seventy dollars to receive calls and data usage. With the

740
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: time difference, I don't really know if I'll be receiving

741
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: the calls unless I keep my phone on all night,

742
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: which I don't want to do. Any recommendations, Mark, most

743
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: of the wireless companies nowadays do something called the passport

744
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: or international passport, and I know Verizon and AT and

745
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: T do this, but it's basically ten dollars a day.

746
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: So if you're going to Italy on October twenty seventh,

747
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: you said seventy dollars, I'm guessing you're going for seven days,

748
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: and that's where they got that number from. But the

749
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: reality the way this works is you just tell Verizon

750
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: that you're traveling and make sure that international passport feature

751
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: is activated on your account, and any of the days

752
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: that you use your phone when you're overseas, that's when

753
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: you get charged at ten dollars. So they don't care

754
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: if you use one megabyte of data or a bunch

755
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: of megabytes or a bunch of phone calls, as long

756
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: as you do something on that day, you're going to

757
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: trigger that ten dollars charge. So personally, as someone who's

758
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: done things both ways, where I've had the hot spot

759
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: that I've rented, which is cool because you get unlimited data,

760
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: but I rarely find I find that those aren't really

761
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: in use much anymore because so many people are using

762
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: their regular carrier from home. This is something that's pretty

763
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: relatively new. It used to be have these crazy roaming charges.

764
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: Now the companies are just basically saying, hey, for ten

765
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: dollars a day, you can use your phone pretty much

766
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: the way you use it in the US. Now there

767
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: are some limits on there. You're not gonna get a

768
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: ton of you know, they will slow down your data

769
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: if you use over a certain amount each day. I

770
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: didn't run into any problems, though I did use my phone.

771
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: I think it was in Mexico. Well, in Mexico was

772
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: included though, so I think it was in Where Do

773
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: I Go? Last year Portugal where I use my phone,

774
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: and it was just ten bucks a day. It was great.

775
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: Everything worked just fine, and I was very impressed and

776
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: I loved it because it was so convenient. Nobody had

777
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: to text me to a different number. I didn't have

778
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: to worry about finding Wi Fi hotspots. And I just

779
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: say go for it. Just do the ten dollars a

780
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: day and be done with it. And again, if you

781
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: don't use it one day, if you go a whole

782
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: twenty four hours without using it, then you're fine. And

783
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: so if you can, if you want to save the money,

784
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: just make sure your phone is connected to Wi Fi

785
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: when possible, and you don't really have to think about

786
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: this too much. And if you do go into data,

787
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: or you do get a couple of calls, you'll get

788
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: charged at ten dollars. So I say go for it,

789
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: and I think you'll be fine with that. So good question.

790
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: Let's see, Joanne emails in on richontech dot TV. Let's see,

791
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: I have a home bound sister seventy five that lives

792
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: out of state. Is the grand Pad by Consumer Cellular

793
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: something that is a reasonably priced item. She is unable

794
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: to use the computer because of back issues and shaking hands.

795
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: So the grand Pad by Consumer Cellular, right, is kind

796
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: of a tablet for seniors, So it's you know, grant uh.

797
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: Consumer Cellular is one of those companies that kind of

798
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: they do all that stuff for like the you know,

799
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: the cell phones that have the big keys and all

800
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: that good stuff. So if we look at this grand Pad,

801
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: I guess this started out interesting. This looks like they're

802
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: just in a partnership with Consumer Cellular. So it's it's

803
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: an it's a device that was actually created for grandparents,

804
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: so it's a it's a tablet and they kind of

805
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: built like special things into it. So it's got, like,

806
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: you know, a big kind of it looks like an

807
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: Android tablet that has a custom skin on it. So

808
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: it has simple video chatting. Let's see what else. Say,

809
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: You can share photos, send send emails, popular games, customized music. Now,

810
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that this is gonna be

811
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: too much, you know, like it's and how much is it?

812
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: Let's see how much it is? So the device is

813
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars plus forty dollars a month, so I

814
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: guess it has LTE built in. So I'm gonna say no,

815
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is great, but the reality is if

816
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: they're sending photos, if they're making calls, if they're doing

817
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, video calls, I feel like you're gonna have

818
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: to have the Companion app. On the other end, I

819
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: would recommend maybe just getting a fire tablet from Amazon.

820
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: And I think that if you said your sister is

821
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: at home, she's home bound, so she's not using this

822
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: out of the house. And so I think that if

823
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: she has Wi Fi in her house, she can save

824
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: forty dollars a month minimum by going with a fire

825
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 1: HD ten tablet, which is just one hundred and fifty bucks.

826
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: You can get all the apps on there, and they're

827
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: all universal apps, which means you know, it's Skype, it's Netflix,

828
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: like all these apps that are actually like kind of

829
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: the main apps. And maybe with the Grandpad you can

830
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: install some of those, but I'm not sure if you can.

831
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't see. Let's see, I don't know. The only

832
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: thing is that the phone number, the dialing, and then

833
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: the wireless, so I don't know. I still think it's

834
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 1: a better deal just to go with a regular tablet.

835
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be a lot easier, and

836
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: it's cheaper upfront, and it's cheaper over the monthly time.

837
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: So hope that answers your question again, Joanne, thanks for

838
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: writing in. If you have a question for me, you

839
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: can email me it's hello at richon tech dot tv,

840
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: or just go to my website rich on tech dot

841
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: tv and you can submit your question there. I get

842
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: a lot of these things every day, so I'm not

843
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: just I'm just picking out a couple that I got recently.

844
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: But believe me, I do try to answer all my emails,

845
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: but it sometimes takes me a couple days to get

846
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: to them. I'll tell you that because it's a lot

847
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: of stuff and you guys are always emailing me about

848
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: every decision you make. You're you're asking me before you

849
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: make it, so I'm happy to help. Just know that

850
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 1: sometimes it does take me a bit to get to those,

851
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: but not always. Sometimes I write back like within a minute,

852
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: and people are like, wha what was that. I just

853
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: happened to be looking at my phone and you emailed me.

854
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: And it's a simple question. I can just you know,

855
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: pop off an answer really quick. So all right, finally

856
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: today Android police out with the Google Assistant Easter eggs

857
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to Halloween. So last year I was

858
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: doing this and I tested these things out, and my

859
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: house is filled with all the the Google stuff and

860
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: the Google Assistant, and last year I thought one of

861
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: the commands was pretty cool. It was like I feel

862
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: I think it was like can we get spooky or

863
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: something like that. And next thing you know, my entire

864
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: house all the lights changed, the chrome casts fired up

865
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: on the TVs, it started playing spooky music on the

866
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 1: Google homes. So my wife went crazy because I didn't

867
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: realize this was happening across all my smart devices in

868
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: every room of the house. So she comes running into

869
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: my office, She's like, what are you doing, so maybe

870
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: that one still works and I'll try it. But here

871
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: are some of the commands that you can use for

872
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen which are new. So you can ask are

873
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: you celebrating Halloween? You can just say boo, let's try

874
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: that one. Oh wait, I can't. I don't want to

875
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: say the word on here because it'll activate all yours.

876
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: Do you know any scary stories? Happy Halloween? It's almost Halloween?

877
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: Scare me, trick or treat? What are you going to

878
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: be for Halloween? What should I wear for Halloween? Do

879
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: you have any monster fighting tips? I want to hear

880
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: something spooky. Give me a Halloween sound, tell me a

881
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: Halloween joke, tell me a Halloween fact. So all those

882
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: are fantastic. If you have kids like me that are

883
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: obsessed with the Google assistant and get answers from her,

884
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: then these will be great. And I always find this

885
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: stuff kind of fun. This is kind of like the

886
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: fun side of the assistance. But again it also shows

887
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: the problem with these assistants is that you have to

888
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: know all these specific things to ask to make these

889
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: little easter eggs work. And I get it. Someone might,

890
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 1: in passing say to their Google assistant, you know, hey,

891
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: do you know any scary stories? And they might get

892
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: one of these responses. In the future, we won't necessarily

893
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: have to think about commands and responses that are pre programmed.

894
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: It'll just be like, you know, the point of the

895
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: assistant is just to be there as an assistant and

896
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: do stuff. No matter how you phrase the question or

897
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: no matter what you're kind of looking for, you will

898
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: get it. So again, this is from Android Police, Spooky

899
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: Google Assistant East Eggs just in time. Oh what happened?

900
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: My phone did activate? I didn't think I said it,

901
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: but there you have it. So all right, thanks so

902
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: much for listening to this version of the podcast. Tell

903
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: me what you think about it. I know it's a

904
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: lot longer than the typical version, but maybe that's a

905
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: better thing. I probably won't do something like this every

906
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: day because it's kind of a deeper dive. But what

907
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: happens is I check a lot of blogs every single

908
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: day for stories that I like to talk about. I

909
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: don't always get to talk about them. Sometimes they talk

910
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: about them on the radio on KFI. Sometimes I talk

911
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: about them on KTLA. Other times the talk about them

912
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: just on my Facebook page, or I'll post them but

913
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: this is kind of like a longer deep dive into

914
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: those stories, the stuff that I find interesting, the stuff

915
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: that I think you should know about, and whether it's

916
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: a link to a new app or a website, or

917
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of news that's happening or a review,

918
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a bigger mix of stories and

919
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: I can take a little bit more time to dive
