00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Dmiro and this is Rich on Tech, the

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think

6
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place where I

7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: answer the questions you send me. And believe me, you

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: send me a lot of them. I say it every week.

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: You do. You never you never failed to surprise me

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: with how many questions you can send. And they're all

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: great questions, they really are. My name is Rich Demiro,

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Thanks

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: for tuning in to the podcast, thanks for watching on TV,

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: and just thanks for being there. Ah so much tech

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: news this week. I think this might take the ward

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty one of being the biggest week in

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: tech news of the year so far. I mean, I'm

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: just looking at the rundown here. We've got Google Io,

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: We've got the new Apple TV, We've got Spotify news,

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: we've got Twitter news, we've got Ford news, We've got

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Microsoft news. It's a lot. There's been a lot going

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: on this week, so we're gonna get through it, and

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the questions that you have

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: sent me. But man, I you know, I'm always playing

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: with stuff. I'm always kind of experimenting with different tech

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: and stuff. And something that kind of bubbled up to

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: the surface or these electric bikes, you know, And so

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: a friend sent a thing that said, you gotta do

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: a story on these electric bikes. I said, no way,

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: They're way too expensive. I'm not doing that. And then

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I just start seeing more and

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: more about electric bikes. I mean, everyone's talking. I went

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: up to Ventura, which is here in California, and I

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: was on a bike path and just like half the

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: bikes whizzing past me were electric. And I said, okay,

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I got to do something on this. And so one

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: of the big brands is called van Move, and they're like,

38
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: can we send you a bike? And I said no,

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with that, and they said please,

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, fine, send me the test bike.

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: So I got it yesterday. I'm not kidding. I put

42
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: this thing together, which was a little little tricky, but

43
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: I finally got it working last night. And I am

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: like one hundred percent sold. I cannot believe this thing

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: is the Apple. It's the iPhone of electric bikes. And

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to do my full review just yet

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: because I literally just went on it for like two

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: minutes last night. But it is so amazing. I mean,

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: it just takes bike. Now I want to commute to

50
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: my job with a bike. I'm like, how can I

51
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: commute on a bike like you know that last mile

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: like that? Or just take it and put it in

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: the bike locker. It's really really fantastic, So expect to

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: hear more about electric bikes soon. Another thing I've been

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: playing with is Amazon Music. I've been testing out all

56
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: the different music services because I'm just as curious, and

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: i gotta say, I'm actually quite impressed with what Amazon

58
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: Music is all about, because it's simple. It's just easy.

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: It's like the main thing I went down this rabbit

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: hole of trying to for some reason, all the maybe

61
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: I already mentioned this on the podcast last week, but

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: all the services on sons when you go to browse

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: your music services like they're all organized in like this

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: weird way, except for Amazon Music, where you can you know,

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: just search by like mood and genre whereas for some reason,

66
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: all the other ones want to like surface here's what

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: we think you should be listening to, because it's five

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: pm and it's dinner time, and it's you know, or

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: it's morning on a weekend, and it's just like no, no, no,

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: just let me pick what I want to pick. So anyway,

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: I've been truly impressed with Apple, Amazon Music. Oh yeah,

72
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: another story they went HD this week. Gosh, more and

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: more just news coming out. But anyway, let's start with

74
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Google IO. This is the big developers conference from Google

75
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: that happens every year up in Mountain View. Last year

76
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: they did not do it. This year. It's virtual and

77
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: it it was okay. I mean, it was not the

78
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: most exciting event. I don't think the announcements were that groundbreaking,

79
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: but it was it was nice to see Google doing

80
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of a hybrid event. They had, you know, there

81
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: are people standing in the middle of campus. It was live,

82
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: which I liked, and they had a couple people socially

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: distanced just kind of watching in the audience, maybe like

84
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen people, and everyone else was just virtual

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: watching online. But so, you know, the main theme that

86
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: I noticed with with Google is Google and Apple could

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: not be any different. Their approaches to the world are

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: so different. And you know, these are both very inclusive companies,

89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: like I think they're. You know, Apple is one of

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: the most diverse and inclusive companies I've ever worked with,

91
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: which is amazing. Same goes with Google, but the way

92
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: that they approach things in their tech is a little

93
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: bit different. Like Apple, when you think about their stuff,

94
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: it's very expensive, right, It's it's priced at a certain price.

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: You got to be in the Apple ecosystem. Everything works

96
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: together beautifully, but you got to be on board. You

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: gotta do what Apple wants you to do and it

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: will work just fine. Whereas Google, their idea is like,

99
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: let's just sort everything out and let's just give you

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: a lot of options, and a lot of those options

101
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: are gonna be inexpensive. We don't really care how you

102
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: use them. But we're just gonna give you a lot

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: of stuff. And you know, whether it's Google Photos, which

104
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: works on you know, everything from like a fifty dollars

105
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: Android phone, to Google Maps that just you know, can

106
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: help you find your way around the world. That that,

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: to me, is the biggest difference between these two companies.

108
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: They're both amazing I'm not knocking either one of them,

109
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: but the way, as a reporter who's covered them for

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: many years, I just see two divergent streams. You know,

111
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: they're both going in different directions. Like Apple, the longer

112
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: you're with them, the more you're in Apple, right, Whereas

113
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: Google is kind of like, hey, we're gonna give you

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: this stuff, and like I said, you can access it

115
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: and use it however you want. Like if you want

116
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: to use Google Chrome Cast, fine, but we're also gonna

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: let you watch your movies on any service, or you

118
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: want to use Google Maps on our phone or Pixel fine.

119
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: But you know, options are always nice. So that was

120
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: my main takeaway. But Google just continues on their quest

121
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: to kind of organize the world's information, make it easier

122
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: to access and just simpler. So they announced a whole

123
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: bunch of nerdy stuff, like these new like AI powered things,

124
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: Like they showed off talking to data sets, which is

125
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: just wild. So they showed off like talking to Pluto,

126
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: not the animal, but the former planet, and so you're

127
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: literally they feed a data set about Pluto into this

128
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: thing called Lambda, and now you can converse with it

129
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, what's it like on Pluto? And

130
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: Pluto will describe to you what's it like on its surface.

131
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a wild What other things do

132
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: they do? So search? You know they did. They didn't

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: really announce a whole bunch of search, except like, there's

134
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: this new feature where you can delete the last fifteen

135
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: minutes of your search, so you know, they gave the

136
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: example of if you're searching for an engagement ring for

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: your loved one, you know your significant other and you

138
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: don't want them to see it, so you can delete

139
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: the last fifteen minutes. So okay, you've got that. Google Photos.

140
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: You know, we've got a big thing coming up with

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Google Photos on June first, where they're gonna, you know,

142
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: start charging for the storage. Where you know, it's a

143
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: little misleading, but basically, your fifteen gigs or your fifteen gigs,

144
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: whether you do high quality or full quality, it doesn't matter.

145
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: It's fifteen gigs. And so now a lot of people

146
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be above that and they're gonna have to

147
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: pay for that. But I love Google Photos. I'm still

148
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: gonna pay. I upgraded mine to the fifty dollars a

149
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: month plan, which is just it's a lot, but you

150
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: know what It's just taken a weight off my shoulders

151
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: to know that I can just take these four K

152
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: videos and just keep uploading them and not really think,

153
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: and one day I will organize my Google Photos, get

154
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: rid of all the duplicates in the big files, and

155
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully by then data is so cheap that

156
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 1: it will be like twenty bucks a month. Again, Google

157
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: Photos now stores four trillion photos and videos. They're gonna

158
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: do a little locker on your phone so you can

159
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: keep selected photos private. But a lot of people are

160
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: saying this is not very exciting because it doesn't upload

161
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: them to the cloud. So it's like, what's the point.

162
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: You can't really safeguard these pictures. Or you can safeguard them,

163
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: but you can't really save them. So I get it.

164
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense, but it's kind of what how

165
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: they're doing it. Yeah, privacy was a big was a

166
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: big thing with Google, and I think they're reacting to

167
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: kind of Apple's entire push with privacy because Google's like, hey,

168
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: we're private too. I mean, it just takes a little

169
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: bit more for you to you know, be private with Google,

170
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: but you can be. And they showed off Android twelve,

171
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: which i've been playing with on the pixel it's like

172
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: the only the best way I can describe it is

173
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: candy colored and sugarcoated. That's just the way. It's like bubblegum.

174
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Everything's like poppy and beautiful and like big and bold

175
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: and like a little bit simpler, like and I don't

176
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: want to disrespect anyone, but it feels like it's an

177
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: operating system that they're like, Okay, we get it. There's

178
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot of non techies that use our devices, so

179
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: let's make it a little bit easier for them, right,

180
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 1: Let's make everything a little bit bigger. The button's a

181
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: little bit brighter. Let's you know, when you when you

182
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: swipe down for your notifications shade, Let's label those things

183
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: like not everyone knows what a Wi Fi symbol is

184
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: or I guess that one you do it, but the

185
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: rest of them maybe not. So let's label those make

186
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: them easier to select and de select. So there's a

187
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: lot of stuff like that. What else, they did this

188
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: really cool thing project Starline, which is basically three D

189
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: video chat. Imagine you step into a video booth and

190
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: you see the person on the other side that you're

191
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: video chatting with, but they look like they're there, and

192
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: this is not a new idea. I did a story

193
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: with Senet, you know, going on fifteen years ago. With Cisco,

194
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: they had something I think it was called like telepresence.

195
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: I forget what their term was, that the brand name,

196
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: but I did something. I went into a studio and

197
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: saw this and it just looked like people were across

198
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: the table from you on a flat screen. But this

199
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: is kind of bringing them to life in a three

200
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: D way. So I am all about that. I as

201
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: family with family that lives on the other side of

202
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: the country. I would love to just sit down and

203
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: hang out with my family in a way that they

204
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: look like they're actually there. That'd be so cool. What else,

205
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they're improving their password manager. I think that's

206
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: basically it for the main stuff. I mean, that's that's

207
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: kind of like my takeaway from Google Io. It's cool.

208
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: Google just continues to like do cool stuff and organize

209
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: the world's information. And if I ever worked for Google,

210
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: I would do things a little bit differently, Like I'd

211
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: have some ideas for like Google Photos and Android, and

212
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: you know, like believe me, I'd come to the I'd

213
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: come to the table with a lot of ideas about

214
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: the smart home about you know, I'd do the same

215
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: thing if I worked for Apple. I mean I would.

216
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: I'd have actually any company, I'd have a lot of ideas.

217
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm like that person that comes to the first day

218
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: of work with like a folder, like all the papers

219
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: flying out of it, and I'm like, hey, hey over here,

220
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: what about this? And I'm like, yeah, dude, slow your role,

221
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: We've figured out, We've talked about a lot of this stuff.

222
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: You're you're new to this, so just just hang on anyway.

223
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: So Google Io, I'm looking forward to being there in

224
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: person next year. It will be in person next year,

225
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: Google Io twenty twenty two. It is an exciting event.

226
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Coachella but for programmers. And it

227
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: is fun to be up in Mountain View two experience

228
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: at firsthand. All right, let's get to the first question. Hey,

229
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: Rich First off, I'm not sure you take emails about

230
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: specific items. I felt like I saw in one of

231
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: your earlier posts you did mention something about dropping you

232
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: an email, So I hope you don't mind this. No,

233
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: I do not. I recently started an Instagram page for

234
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: my diy stuff. Now I've been using my Samsung Note

235
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: phone to record all the videos then edit the videos

236
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: on the phone. It works great, but I've completely maximized

237
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: my storage both internally and on an SD card. I

238
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: figured with all the posts and videos you make, you

239
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: probably would be a great resource to ask what kind

240
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: of camera you use and how you edit your photos

241
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: your videos. Thank you for taking the time and all

242
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: the information. I'm a big fan and love seeing you

243
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: on KTLA. Best Jeff. All right, Well, Jeff clearly not

244
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: a listener to the podcast, which is fine. Not everyone

245
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: that emails me or gets in touch as a listener

246
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: of the podcast, but you so, yes, you can totally

247
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: email me your questions and I'm happy to answer this.

248
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: So and by the way, the questions I picked for

249
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: the podcast, I generally picked them based on the broad

250
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: appeal to other people, like Jeff is probably not the

251
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: only person that's doing stuff on his phone and posting

252
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: it in maxim ount maximizing his storage. I'll give you

253
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: a funny story which is so embarrassing. I was on

254
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: a shoot yesterday or the day before the day before,

255
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not no joke, I'm recording something and I

256
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: actually handed my phone to someone else to like record me,

257
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: and he hands it back and he goes, uh, I

258
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: don't think that was recording the whole time. I said what,

259
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: because yeah, it was just zero's at the end. I said,

260
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: wait oh, and I knew what happened. My phone has

261
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: been at the at the end of its storage, like

262
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: it's it's it's maxed out. It's at like, you know,

263
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, and so it ran out of storage

264
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: while I was recording this video. And I'm sitting there

265
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: like the person that I always say don't be, like,

266
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: don't be the person at your kids uh, you know,

267
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: play at school that is deleting. That's literally I've seen

268
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: this happen. You're at your kids holiday performance and the

269
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: person in front of you is taking a picture or

270
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: video and up pops that message on their iPhone that

271
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: says out of storage merm. And you're like, oh my gosh,

272
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm so embarrassed for you, Like, dude, clean out your

273
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: phone before you go to your kids recital. And here

274
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: I am on a shoot and it's the same thing.

275
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: And this guy probably like dude, this is the tech guy,

276
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: Like are you kidding me? This guy is like a

277
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: total rookie. And I was so I'm sitting there like

278
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: going through the iPhone storage, like deleting big videos. Now,

279
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: I will tell you I do record everything in four

280
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: K to try to future proof my videos, and also

281
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: they're easier to zoom in on that if you want

282
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: to crop something. So I do record in large files

283
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: and it gobbles up my memory. So anyway, I'm not

284
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: giving you excuses, but so Jeff, to answer your question,

285
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: you got to offload these things. You know, I use

286
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: my phone to record and edit the stuff. I use

287
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: Adobe Rush to edit, which will work on the note.

288
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Just fine. Get a bigger SD card if you can

289
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: max that out. I think on your note, depending on

290
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: what model you have, you could either go five twelve

291
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: or a terabyte. Get the biggest one you can, and

292
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: you could either swap those out and save them, or

293
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: you can offload some of your videos to like something

294
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: like if you don't want to use a cloud, which

295
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: I would recommend Google Photos, but if you don't want

296
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: to use that. I did a story this week on

297
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: USB drives that you can stick into your phone, so

298
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: you can get what's called the sand disc I expand

299
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: flash drive lucks and that will that has USB C

300
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: on the bottom, you plug it into your phone, you

301
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: download an app called sand Disc Memory Zone, and you

302
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: can then back up all the videos from your phone

303
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: onto this drive, so you kind of offload them there

304
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: and then that will then you can delete them off

305
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: your phone. So that's what I would do. I would

306
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: use a cloud and then delete them off your phone.

307
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: That way they're safe in the cloud. But if you

308
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: don't want to pay for that cloud storage, like I

309
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: just talked about, get one of these flash drive or

310
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: just you can continually swap out the uh you know,

311
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: the drives or the mini SD card micro SD card

312
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: on your phone. Now, I don't think that's as easy.

313
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of a more complicated solution, or

314
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, if you want, because memory cards are so cheap,

315
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: you could just kind of keep a little system where

316
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: every month you swap it out for a new one

317
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: and you keep them in like a little rack. I mean,

318
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: there's just lots of ways to do this, but I

319
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: think the cloud is the easiest. It's also the most expensive.

320
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: Swapping out the SD cards a little bit more complicated,

321
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: but it's definitely an easy system. Okay, here's all my

322
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: stuff from March. Here's all my stuff from April. Here's

323
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: all my stuff from May. And then the other way,

324
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: like I said, is the plugging in the USB drive.

325
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: If you're on iPhone, you can do the same thing.

326
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: By the way, that flash drive I just mentioned, the

327
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: sand disc I expand will work with iPhone as well.

328
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: Or I tested one called the p n Y Duo Link,

329
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: which is thirty five dollars and same thing. You plug

330
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: it into the bottom of your phone. It uses special

331
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: software to you know, to download the photos from your

332
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: phone onto the flash drive. And recommendation, by the way,

333
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: always have your pictures in two places no matter what.

334
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: And your videos. But Jeff cool, I mean, I'm glad

335
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: you're doing a little Instagram page. Yeah, these videos add

336
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: up quick, but it's fun. It's rewarding when people start

337
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: taking notice and you just have to make sure everything's

338
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: backed up and you've got that system down because you

339
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: don't want what happened to me. We're you're in the

340
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: middle of a shoot and next thing you know, you're

341
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: trying to scramble to get stuff off your phone. You

342
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: don't want to be in that position because you're gonna

343
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: mess something up and kind of mistake something. So there

344
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: you have it all right, let's talk about the Apple

345
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: TV after almost four years. Basically, the Apple TV has

346
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: finally gotten a refresh, goes on sale, or it is

347
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: on sale as of this podcast, so it's the Apple

348
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: TV four K. I'll have my review of it next

349
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: week on TV. But the main takeaway for me, having

350
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: used this thing for a little bit now, is that

351
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: it does not feel any different than my old Apple

352
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: TV four K. Maybe it's faster, but I can't really

353
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: notice that. Now you're saying, Okay, Rich, why would I

354
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: pay one hundred and eighty dollars for this thing if

355
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: it's not any faster. Well, you're paying for another four

356
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: years of service through this thing, right, So it may

357
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: not be faster today. But we know that apps are

358
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: just going to continue to get more processor dependent, especially

359
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: games if you do any gaming on it, with Apple

360
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: Arcade and just in general, you know, these things are

361
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: just they the apps that we're using just continue to

362
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: get more space hungry and more process or hungry. And

363
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: so that's what you're doing, is you're just you know,

364
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: Apple's just upgrading this thing with an A twelve Bionic,

365
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: which is you know, an older processor that was found

366
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: in a I forget which iPhone. It was a while ago,

367
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: but it's still just great. I mean, streaming video clearly

368
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: does not take a lot of horsepower, because you know,

369
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: I've tested streaming six or twenty five dollars and they

370
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: run Netflix just fine. Now, the thing that I think

371
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: is the delineation here is how fast apps open. And

372
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: I notice on the Cheapo fire Sticks and the cheap

373
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: o Rokus the apps take a lot longer to open

374
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: than on the Roku Ultra or the you know, the

375
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: nice four K version of the Apple of the fire

376
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: TV or the you know, they just everything is a

377
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: little bit faster when you have a better processor. And

378
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: the same thing with the Apple TV. So I don't

379
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: think you need to upgrade for that reason. But I

380
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: do think the new series remote is much better, and

381
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: they've totally redesigned it. I've got the video on my Instagram.

382
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: It's got a ClickPad, so it's got okay, how do

383
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: I explain this. It's both touch sensitive and it has

384
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: clickable four way you know, like clickers whatever you want

385
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: to call them, buttons, So it's got like a circular

386
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: area but you can click four ways, or you can swipe,

387
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: or you can jog, so it's it's a much much

388
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: better remote. There's also dedicated power and mute buttons, which

389
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: is really nice. I did notice last night, though, there

390
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: is one flaw with the remote. The play pause button

391
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 1: should be the last button, like the lowest most button

392
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: on the remote, but that's actually the mute button. And

393
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: last night my muscle memory just went to play pause

394
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: and I just pressed the mute button by accident. I said, oh,

395
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: this should be the play pause position, but you know,

396
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: maybe you know whatever. That's just my opinion. But anyway,

397
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: so the remote is actually being sold by itself for

398
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: fifty nine dollars, which I think it it. It does

399
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: definitely make me think that that would be a pretty

400
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: good upgrade to the current Apple TV. Like, if you

401
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: have one of these Apple TVs, it's not a bad idea.

402
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: If you think you're perfectly happy with it, you don't

403
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: want to spend the one to eighty for a whole

404
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: new system. The fifty nine might be a pretty good

405
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: upgrade because the remote in my in my experience for

406
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: the last one was just lacking and this one is

407
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: way better. So that's the Apple TV four K. The

408
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: other new feature, by the way, is high frame rate

409
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: four K HDR, which is sixty frames per second, which

410
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: right now, as I know, there's only one app that

411
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: takes advantage, which is the red Bull app. I tested it.

412
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: I didn't see any big difference into my eyes for

413
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: the quality. But you know, maybe in the future, as

414
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: more of these apps take advantage of four K high

415
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: fram rate sixty you know whatever, you know, maybe it'll

416
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: look better. I don't know. Like I said, I'm just

417
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: a tech person. I'm not a you know, an audio

418
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: or video file. I'm just kind of like the average

419
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: Joe when it comes to tech, all right, except I

420
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: just you know, I play with it a little bit

421
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: more than the typical person that's just you know, day

422
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: to day, like this is my life. Adam says, Hey, Rich,

423
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: hope this email finds you well. I'm currently in Florida

424
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: visiting my parents and I'm trying to help them screen

425
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: mirror their iPad to their Samsung Series seven Smart TV.

426
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: The TV is not Airplay compatible, so I'm looking for

427
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: a free screen mirroring app to put on their eighth

428
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: generation iPad. Can you suggest one? Thanks to your thanks

429
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: in advance, best regards, Adam. All right, Adam, so you

430
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: say that this TV is not air play compatible. So

431
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: the main thing to know is that you can't really

432
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: just add airplay compatibility to a TV that's not airplay like,

433
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: as far as I know, like it has to be

434
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: built into the TV. Maybe there's something that that, Maybe

435
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: there's an app that lets you receive airplay on the TV.

436
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of that, and I also think that

437
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: that's probably not the best way to do it anyway.

438
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: So what I think is TV probably does have built

439
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: in is Chrome cast, which is the ability to cast

440
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: your screen from the iPad. Now, when you say mirror

441
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: the screen, most people aren't mirroring the screen anyway these days,

442
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: Like you don't. There's not really a need for that

443
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: unless you have a specific use case. But what most

444
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: people are doing is using the iPad to play Netflix

445
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: and then tossing that Netflix up on the TV screen

446
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: by casting it. So I think maybe that's and if

447
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: your parents, you know, I think that's probably what they

448
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: would be doing as well. So my advice is to

449
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: use the casting option, And most of the major apps

450
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: have that built in. Whether it's Netflix, whether it's HBO Max,

451
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: whether it's whatever. All the apps pretty much support airplay

452
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: and casting. So I would look, you know, make sure

453
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: that your iPad is on the same Wi Fi network

454
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: as the TV, make sure that casting is turned on

455
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: on the TV, and it's on, it might be a

456
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: different input for the casting, and then you just you

457
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: open up the Netflix app. You look for the little

458
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: cast icon which should pop up if it's on the

459
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: same network, and it identifies a cast receiver, and you

460
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: just tap it and it should throw whatever you're watching

461
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: on the iPad screen onto the TV. Now, again, most

462
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: people don't need to mirror their iPad screen, so it's

463
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 1: most of the time you're watching something on the iPad

464
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: that you want to see on the TV. Now. The

465
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: one exception to that is when it comes to something

466
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: like your photos. If you want to show off the

467
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: photos from your iPad to the Samsung you wouldn't be

468
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: able to do that without airplay unless you used a

469
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: different app, which you know, there is an app called

470
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: like all cast I used to use and all cast

471
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: may let you do it. Yeah, all casts, So I

472
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: would look at I don't know how old this app,

473
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: if it's still even like being updated. Let me look

474
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: and see. Let's see all cast iOS. Let's just see.

475
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: Let's see when this was last Oh, yeah it was.

476
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: It was last updated in in Uh let's see what

477
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: I say, January Virgin History. Yeah, January sixteenth. Okay, well

478
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: but that's not the one though. Oh that's weird. That's

479
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: a different one. Okay, we Anyway, my computer does this

480
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: thing sometimes when I try to, you know, look at

481
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: an app on the App Store, it wants to open

482
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: up iTunes, which is kind of annoying because I don't

483
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: really want that. Okay, well, all casts may not be

484
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: supported anymore, but there's there might be another, a different app.

485
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: But you can also use Google Photos on your parents' TV.

486
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: But that's the way I would do it, Adam, I

487
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a little bit cleaner, a little

488
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: bit easier, and a little bit simpler for your parents.

489
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: Good question. Let me know what they end up doing.

490
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: All right. This is a big announcement from Spotify. I

491
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: cannot believe this actually happened. I am so impressed that

492
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: we finally got this feature. It's only taken six generations

493
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: of the Apple Watch, but now here we go. I

494
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: wish I had a drum roll, please, but you can

495
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: now download Spotify to your Apple Watch. Huge, huge win

496
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: for Spotify premium users. And again I said Spotify Premium,

497
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: this is not something that anyone can do. You have

498
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: to be paying for Spotify, and that makes sense because

499
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: it's a paid feature. Downloads are a paid feature. I'm

500
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: not even sure you can download to Spotify on the

501
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: mobile app without paying to download. Now. I subscribe to

502
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: most of the major music services, Spotify is not one

503
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: of them. But honestly, at this point, I'm thinking I

504
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: may and I hate I love Apple Music, but you know,

505
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: the main reason I started with Apple Music is because

506
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: it's compatible with the Apple Watch, and that's the only

507
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: one that really lets you download to the Apple Watch

508
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: except for I think Pandora does. But the fact that

509
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: I can use Spotify now, I don't know. I'm gonna

510
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: have to test Spotify now because I want to see

511
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: how it works on my Sono system and now on

512
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch, because I do go running with my

513
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: Apple Watch by itself without the phone, and so the

514
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: whole ability to basically download playlist to your Apple Watch

515
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: for offline use, so you don't have to have your

516
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: phone nearby to listen to these playlists, and that's a

517
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: huge deal again for premium users. If you're not a

518
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: premium user, this doesn't really matter, and you can still

519
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: use Spotify with your watch nearby. That's still you know,

520
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: that's always been a thing. But it's pulling from your watch,

521
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean from your phone, not from the watch. This

522
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: the downloads are actually stored on your watch itself, which

523
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: is a huge win for people that just want to

524
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,719
Speaker 1: go out with their watch and nothing else. All right.

525
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: The thing to know about this feature, though, it is

526
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: rolling out, and those are my biggest dreaded words in

527
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: the tech world. Rolling out to me means yeah, we'll

528
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: get to it sometime on your app, we'll roll it

529
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: out one day. I mean that means that, like I

530
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: can't just open up Spotify and it's there. It means

531
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: it may be there tomorrow, it may be their next week,

532
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: it may be they're like who knows when. But I

533
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: can't stand when companies say we're rolling out, because I

534
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: get why they do it. They want to make sure

535
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: everything's working before they get you know, thousands and millions

536
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: of people on board. But it's just like, to me,

537
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: rolling out is like just when when do I get it?

538
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Just tell me when I get it, and I don't know.

539
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it's here today, maybe it's in a week, maybe

540
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: it's in a month, who knows. But now you can

541
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: download your favorite playlist two to your Apple Watch. I'm

542
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: just reading about this. Let Siri with Siri support and

543
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, all users, oh can say yeah, hey, h Siri,

544
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: followed by your favorite playlist. But you have to say

545
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: on Spotify, so h Siri, play my Discover weekly playlist

546
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: on Spotify. And of course that's you know, if if

547
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: Apple was really nice, they would give us the ability

548
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: to set a default. Of course they don't. We know

549
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: it's possible, but they you know, slowly but surely, we're

550
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: seeing these kind of defaults come to the uh the

551
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: iOS operating system. You know, we do have default browser,

552
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: we do have default mail app, but we do not

553
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: have default maps. We don't have default music, we don't

554
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: have default podcasts. So it's it's your iPhone. It's just

555
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: not it's just not your It's not exactly how you

556
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: want it, you know what I mean, Like you still

557
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: gotta you still gotta jump through a couple of hoops

558
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: to get things the way you want it when you're

559
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: using an Apple product. And look, I know this because

560
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: I use an iPhone and I'm sitting there and my kids.

561
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: Half the time, you're like, Dad, why using Apple Maps.

562
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, because sometimes it's just easier

563
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: to say navigate too and the place, and I'll have

564
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: to sit there and open up Google Maps, and I don't.

565
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: I just it's easier to use your voice when you're

566
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: in the car and when you're using your phone, and

567
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: you just can't do that with the iPhone if you

568
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: want to use the services that you want to use

569
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: without using a qualifier, like who says play Tailor Swift

570
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: on Spotify? Like who wants to remember that? No, you

571
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: just want to play Tailor Swift, play Taylor Swift, play

572
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: play you know, imagine dragons, play the latest song. I

573
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: said the other day, play the latest song from the

574
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: Counting Crows. And you know what I mean. It's like

575
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: one of these things where you know it default. I

576
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: was listening to Amazon Music and next thing, you know,

577
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: it just defaults to Apple Music. And it's just the

578
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: way it is, you know so, And believe me, there's

579
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: a lot of benefits of using the iPhone. It's a

580
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: great platform, but it's just those little things do do

581
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: bug me? All right, Tamra writes in I recently, recently

582
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: recently purchased a motorhome. I feel like I'm in like

583
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: a fifties movie. Okay, so recently purchased a motorhome. Okay,

584
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: well you say that. Okay, what do you say about it? Yes?

585
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: Say what do you say? What do you suggest for

586
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: internet on the motor home while I'm traveling? Oh? Dimension MANK.

587
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: By the way, what a great movie. I think I

588
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: mentioned that in the podcast One of the Oh is

589
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: such a perfect movie. Two movies that really really impressed

590
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: me on Netflix, MANC and The Irishman two of my

591
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: just favorite experiences in a movie. Just oh so good. Anyway,

592
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: I digress. What do you suggest for internet on the

593
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: motor home while I'm traveling? And what do you suggest

594
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: is the best way to watch TV while traveling? Well,

595
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: let's see what do I want to Let's see I

596
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: would say the motor home. I think you go. You

597
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: could do this coupleways, depending on how much you're traveling.

598
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: You just use your smartphone as a hotspot, So just

599
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: check with your carrier see how much hot spot data

600
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: you get. And you know, like, if it's me, I

601
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: think on mine, I get thirty gigs a month, so

602
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, you can see I would start with that

603
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: and see how far that takes you. That may take

604
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: you one week of the motor home traveling. That may

605
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: take you a whole month. I don't know. It depends

606
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: on what you're watching and how much it's consuming. When

607
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: it comes to data. The other thing you can do

608
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: is you can purchase a hot spot like and this

609
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: is probably the best solution. You purchase a dedicated hot

610
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: spot from your wireless carrier. So go to you know,

611
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: Verizon or AT and T or T Mobile and say, hey,

612
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: I've got a motor home. You know I need a

613
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: five G hotspot. You probably want five G because that's

614
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: the latest, greatest. Get a five G hotspot. You add

615
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: the plan. Now, the downside of this is that you're

616
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: going to be charged for a monthly plan and I'm

617
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: not sure how much data you get on that plan.

618
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: You have to kind of shop around and see what

619
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: their what their hot spot plans are. And that's the

620
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: second way. And the ney thing about the hotspot is

621
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: you can leave it plugged in, you can leave it

622
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: turned on at all times and it will always be

623
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: spitting out a Wi Fi signal that's easy to connect to,

624
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: and you can also kind of like velcrow it or

625
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: whatever you want to mount it. I would mount it

626
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: to like a window on the on the van or

627
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: the motor home so that it gets the best signal. Now,

628
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: if you really want to get fancy a lot of

629
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: these mobile hotspots, you can run a wired antenna. You

630
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: could do that like up to the roof, and that

631
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: way you could pull in a better signal, especially if

632
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of nowhere, which is where I'd

633
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: want to be if I had a motor home, just

634
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: like outside in the middle of nowhere looking at the stars. Ah,

635
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: that's like my dream. And what do you suggest? Oh.

636
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: The third thing you can do is there is a

637
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: there is a hot spot from ZTE that is unlocked.

638
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: And this is a uh gosh, I've got I've got

639
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: a segment on it. Let's see ZTE hot spot ktla DeMuro.

640
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: That's how I search for anything that I've ever mentioned

641
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: by the way ZTE z max connect. So that is unlocked,

642
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: which means you can just buy a SIM card prepaid

643
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: and if you find a SIM card that has like

644
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of data on it, you can just

645
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: use that and pop it into this thing. Now, some

646
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: of them may work, some of them may not because

647
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, depending on how they treat mobile data. It

648
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: just depends, Like you want to look for a mobile

649
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: data card right versus a cellular plan with data because

650
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: mobile hotspot is a little bit different than a cell

651
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: phone signal. But you can do that and you know

652
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: that way, you can just pay as you go. But again,

653
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: lots of options for doing this. It just depends how

654
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: much data you're using while you're traveling. Now, the best

655
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: way to watch TV, I think is, you know, just

656
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: get one of these streaming sticks, plug it into the

657
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: back of a TV, and off you go. But that's

658
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: only going to give you Netflix and you know, HBO

659
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: Max and Hulu and all those things. But if you

660
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: want to watch live TV, I would suggest you have

661
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: to get an antenna. And I'm sure they make antenna

662
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: that are specific for motor homes and I would look

663
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: at Antenna's Direct for that, A N T E, n

664
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: NAS direct, Antenna's Direct. We'll we'll definitely have a motor

665
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: home antenna. I would look for one of those, and

666
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking yep, RV Antenna's they've got them right here,

667
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: and let's see how much that's going to cost you.

668
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: Our website's kind of freaking out here. Rv Antenna's oh

669
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: does not want to let me click this? There we go.

670
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: Let's see a hundred bucks sixty miles range. Oh, it's

671
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: just one. So there you have it, hundred bucks. So

672
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: I would start with the streaming first. If you really

673
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: need live TV, then get the antenna that's of course

674
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: going to be free and does not need data. But

675
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: those are the things that I would recommend for your situation.

676
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: All right, thanks so much for the question. Tammy and

677
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: our Tamra and oh Tammy, Yeah you did say Tammy

678
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: at the end. Let me know when I can take

679
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: a ride in your motor home, because it's my dream

680
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: just to I was on a on an event one

681
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: time for Ford. We took them Mustang out to the

682
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: desert and they brought us to the middle of nowhere.

683
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: It was I bookmarked it, but it was like, I

684
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: don't know, twenty nine palms or something I think it

685
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: was called, and it was just Okay, there's been two

686
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: times I think I've already said this story. I feel

687
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 1: like I've told every story on the podcast, but whatever.

688
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: I feel like, not everyone listens to every podcast, so

689
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: I'll just tell them again. I'm like, I'm like my

690
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: grandfather back in the day, Like you know, they tell

691
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: you like a story like twice or three times, like Grandpa,

692
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: we've already heard this. Now it's getting to be my parents.

693
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: But uh, it's like we There's two times in my

694
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: life and I remember looking up at the sky and

695
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: just being one hundred percent completely just blown away by

696
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 1: the stars that I saw in the sky. And one

697
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: time was up in Lake George, New York, where we

698
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: have a summer home, and growing up, we always used

699
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: to go there, and I just remember my dad got

700
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: a telescope and you know, we aimed it at the

701
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: sky and I just I could still see it looking

702
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: up right now. I could still remember exactly where I

703
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 1: was outside of our house and looking up at the sky,

704
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: not even through the telescope, just looking up and just

705
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: being like, wow, this is amazing, like just the amount

706
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: of stuff you can see in the sky right now.

707
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: The second time that's happened to me was in twenty

708
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: nine Palms and we were in the middle of nowhere

709
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: at this little hotel and or motel whatever it was

710
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: and just in the middle of the desert and it

711
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: was just I looked up and it was like, this

712
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: is amazing, like just so and I want to recreate

713
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: that experience. I just this, I don't know, the COVID thing,

714
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: like it's just been tough to travel with all that,

715
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, I have not really seen that any

716
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: other place. I'm sure there's other places they call them

717
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: like dark skies or something, but I need to do

718
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: that with my kids because it's just it was such

719
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: an awe inspiring experience. And just seeing the sky like

720
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: that is like you just don't get that in Los Angeles,

721
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: Like there's just when you look up, it's like, oh,

722
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: I is that Is that a star or satellite? Oh No,

723
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: that's just a cell phone tower with a light on it.

724
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's just that's you know, you live in

725
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: a big city and that's just the way it is.

726
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: You gotta get a little bit further out to see

727
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: the stars. Anyway, I digress, as I typically do. Where

728
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: were we another story? Let's do another story. Twitter is

729
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: letting anyone get verified, So I know people love this

730
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: blue check mark next to them, and I get it.

731
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: It brings a little gravitas. Is that the word gravitas?

732
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: Is that how you say it? Let's hear is that

733
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: how you say gravitas? Gravitas? Gravitas. It brings a little

734
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: gravitas to the you know, to your Twitter profile. And

735
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: I've had it for many years. Okay, big deal. I'm

736
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: not bragging. It's not that big of a deal. But okay,

737
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: I've had it. But it's always this mysterious thing about

738
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: how to get verified, right, and so it was a

739
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: lot of journalists, a lot of like, hey, send me

740
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: your email and I'll get you verified kind of thing.

741
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: But now they're doing it for everyone, so they're making it,

742
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: you know, more accessible to everyone. Now here's what you

743
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 1: need to do. You can do it right through the app.

744
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: You can do it through the Twitter app. You look

745
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: under account settings, and it's rolling out, rolling out, so

746
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: you might see it over the next few weeks. If

747
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: you don't see it, don't worry. We're gradually rolling it

748
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: out to everyone. Worst words in tech. You know, you

749
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: want immediate gratification in this world, we don't. You know,

750
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: you order from Amazon, you get it the same day

751
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: or the next day. Oh, by the way, so this

752
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: is why I order from Amazon. No joke to ordering experiences. Okay.

753
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: The first I ordered a speaker from Sonos had to

754
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: replace a play five in my house because it was

755
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: getting kind of old and it didn't work. So I

756
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: go on on their website, and it was the best

757
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: to order it from the website because they give you

758
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: a little deal if you upgrade through them, give you

759
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: like thirty percent off. And so I order it there

760
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: and it's an expensive speaker, and so, you know, like

761
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: hemden Haud kept it in my in my shopping cart

762
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: for a long time, but you know, every time I

763
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: went on there, it would say it was more delayed,

764
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: like it was back ordered, and so I just kept

765
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: putting it off. I'm like, eh, well, if it's back

766
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: order till May eighteenth, whatever, I'll order it next month.

767
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: And then it was back ordered the next time till

768
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: like June twentieth, and I'm like, oh my gosh, okay,

769
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: let me just order this. So at least I'm in

770
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: the queue to like get it. I order it and

771
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: two days later it's like, oh, you're order shipped out.

772
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: It'll be there in a day. I'm like, what, Okay, Well,

773
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: clearly your little back order system is not very good.

774
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm excited to get my speaker so I

775
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: don't have to wait another month, which is nice. And

776
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: now the next one I want to order is the Rome,

777
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: which is their little new Bluetooth one, which will be

778
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: great for the summer for taking around even though I

779
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: have the move But anyway, I love the Sona stuff.

780
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: It just works, It's great whatever. But the second thing

781
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: I ordered, I ordered soap from this doctor Squatch. Have

782
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: you heard of it? I made fun of it. It

783
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: was a big advertisement during the Super Bowl. So I

784
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: ordered one of their bars of soap after I was

785
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: home and my little nephew said that he loves it,

786
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, okay, I'll try it. He's

787
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: my sister's like he's obsessed. I'm like, all right, Well,

788
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of switched to bar soap over

789
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: the This is Tea, but I switched to bar soap

790
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: over the COVID because it's just like, I don't know,

791
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: like the whole liquid soap thing, like, eh, just use

792
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: bar last longer. So anyway, I don't know what my

793
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: point of telling you the story is, except for the

794
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: fact is I ordered my first bar of Doctor Squatch

795
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: on Amazon, but it was limited selection. You can only

796
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: get like one flavor. I got bay Rum, you know,

797
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: which is like an old school flavor, and it was

798
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: there the next day. I used it. I loved it,

799
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: but I ran out and I was like, Okay, next time,

800
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to order from doctor Squatch because I will

801
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: order a bunch of it. It will be free shipping,

802
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: and I can get like the newest, latest, greatest flavors

803
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: or whatever you call them scents. And they've got like

804
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: moon Rock and just like all these really funny scents

805
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 1: for soaps that you have no idea what they really

806
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: small like, but they just it's like I got like

807
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: Mars Area fifty one and moon Rock and space dust whatever.

808
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: Maybe that was a beer. I don't know, but I

809
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: ordered it and no joke. They're like it'll be ten

810
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: to twelve days shipping. I'm like, no, nothing's ten to

811
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: twelve days shipping anymore. Like, give me a break. Remember

812
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: the old days when it was six to eight weeks

813
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: for shipping plus postage in handling. It's like, wait, what

814
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: you'd mail off for something and it would arrive like

815
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: when you totally forgot about it three months later. Well,

816
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: that's what doctor Squatch has turned into. I cannot believe

817
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: how long it has taken me to get my stuff.

818
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: And no joke, doctor Squatch, I will tell you. Here's

819
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: my order. I ordered it on May tenth. Okay, as

820
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: I record this, it is May twenty first, and I

821
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: did get a I did get a shipping notification after

822
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: I kept checking the mail every day thinking that, you know, okay,

823
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this thing, and here's my package. I'm

824
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: tracking it right now as I speak this, it says

825
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: it's arriving in three to five more days, so estimated

826
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: delivery May twenty fourth through twenty six. So by the

827
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: time I get this May fifteenth to May twenty fourth

828
00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: through twenty six, you're talking eleven ten, nine to you

829
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: know whatever days, nine to twelve days. That is wild.

830
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: So I love you, doctor Squatch, but my gosh, I mean,

831
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: you gotta figure out this shipping situation. I just could not.

832
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: I didn't believe it when I you know, when I

833
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: order online, and I always tell my wife this, whenever

834
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: you see a company that's like trying to push you

835
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: to upgrade your shipping to like a faster shipping, don't

836
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: do it, because ninety nine percent of the time the

837
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: stuff arrives like the next day, and they're just trying

838
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: to like get more shipping fees out of you. So

839
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: don't do it. And this is the first time that

840
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: my advice actually totally backfired because doctor Squatch was like,

841
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: do you want three to five shipping or three to

842
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: five days or one to two days. I'm like, no,

843
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: I never pay for that, Give me a break, and

844
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: clearly they they stick to like their ten to twelve

845
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: days of shipping. So again, doctor Squatch, I love you,

846
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: but gime on, you gotta you gotta catch up with

847
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: Amazon with your shipping. So anyway, where was I let's

848
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: talk about getting verified? Who's Who's eligible for verification? Don't

849
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: you love this podcast where I just jump around who's

850
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: eligible for verification? On Twitter? To be eligible, you must

851
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: fit one of the six categories government, companies, brands and organizations,

852
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: news organizations and journalists, entertainment, sports and gaming activists, organizers,

853
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: and other influential individuals, which basically means anyone can get verified.

854
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: All you have to do is look in the account

855
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: settings tab and you'll see an application. You apply online

856
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: and they get your request and next thing you know,

857
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: you will get a decision. This could take a few days,

858
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: they say, so if you want that blue check mark,

859
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: And I suggest if you if you're a regular person,

860
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: you don't really need it per se. But I think

861
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: it's good for jobs and good for you know, if

862
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: you're posting anything on Twitter that you want sort of

863
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: like to be linked to you in an official way,

864
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: I think that it's probably a good idea to get

865
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: verified so people know that you are who you say

866
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: you are. All right, Paul says, Hey, Rich, I hope

867
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: this isn't something you've done in the past and I

868
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: missed it, But do you have any suggestions for quote

869
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: unquote nanny cams that could unobtrusively put in areas that

870
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: where workers are working at my home. I'm not looking

871
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: for live monitoring, but rather something that might record on

872
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: an SD card for possible later review. Thanks Paul, Paul, Yes,

873
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: I have covered this, and I always get, you know

874
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: a little bit like, Okay, Paul, I don't know what

875
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: you're doing here, what your angle is, but yes, okay,

876
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: we can talk about this because it is out there

877
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: and there are legitimate uses of this stuff if it's

878
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: in your house. Yeah, I mean, do I recommend putt

879
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 1: hidden cameras in your bedroom? No? Do I recommend putting

880
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: cameras hidden if you got an airbnb. Do I recommend

881
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: putting hidden cameras in your house even if you do

882
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: have a nanny. I don't know. I mean, I'm not

883
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: an expert, but I think that it's nice to tell

884
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: people that you have cameras in my house. The cameras

885
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: are very visible. You can see them. I don't hide them,

886
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,479
Speaker 1: and I don't put them in places that people would

887
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: consider private. So with that said, yes, you can absolutely

888
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: do this. It's your house. You can do whatever you want.

889
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: And the cameras that I recommend are wysecams. Wyze wisecams

890
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: are very inexpensive. They're on their third version. They are fantastic.

891
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: They do the trick. They work every time. It's the

892
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: Wysecam V three. Right now, they're not available, so as

893
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 1: I say this, they're not available. Which wisecams, for some reason,

894
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: are so mysterious. I don't know what the problem is

895
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: why they're always out of stock. But a wisecam will

896
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: do this just fine. Because a wysecam it is available

897
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: on Amazon for thirty dollars and sixty five cents free

898
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: Prime one day, so get it on Amazon thirty dollars

899
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: sixty five cents. You can bundle a thirty two gigabyte

900
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: SD card for forty three dollars and sixty cents, although

901
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: check the price on the SD card for a thirty

902
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: two gig now. The one limitation of these cameras is

903
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: that the SD card, I believe is limited to thirty

904
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: two gigabytes. And the way this works is there's a

905
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: setting in the settings once you put the SD card

906
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: in this camera poll it says record twenty four to

907
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: seven to the SD card and you can do that

908
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: and it will just record as long as it can

909
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 1: until it flips around and it's done, and it will

910
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: just start recording over the earliest part of the recording.

911
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: So it just records in a big loop. And that's

912
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: why I have some of mind set up to do.

913
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: And it's fine. It works. You set it, you forget

914
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 1: it. It does the trick. If you ever need to look back,

915
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: you just go and look on the timeline in the

916
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: app and you can download the video clip it whatever

917
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: you want to do with it. But that's what you

918
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: want to do. And if you want a live monitor.

919
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: You can do that too, but that's the way I

920
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: would do it. I think WHYSE is kind of the

921
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: best camera for that. Yes, there's a million solutions, and

922
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: if you had another tech person talking here, they might

923
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: recommend something else, but this is rich on tech and

924
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 1: that's my recommendation because I love what Wise is doing.

925
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 1: I love what Wise is doing, I love what Ring

926
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,959
Speaker 1: is doing. The difference with Ring is that they don't

927
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: have internal memory, so they're not going to be recording

928
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: to the camera itself. And there's a bunch of cheapy

929
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: cameras on Amazon that will do this, probably for even cheaper.

930
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: But I know Wise, and I like Wise, and I

931
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: trust Wise, and so that's the one that I would use. Okay,

932
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: good question, Paul. That was a good one, and hopefully

933
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: you figure out what you need there. Have you noticed

934
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: the fees on Airbnb? Now, I am not a big

935
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: Airbnb guy, and I know it's kind of weird. I

936
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: like my hotels. I like staying in hotels. I like

937
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: that hotels are standardized. I like that they are cleaned

938
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: in a certain way. I like that they're you know,

939
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: I like that there's services at them, and I get it.

940
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: I think at this point, I'm in a minority of

941
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: opinion with the airbnb versus hotel. It seems like most

942
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: people I know love Airbnbs, and I don't know why.

943
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: I just I've never really taken to them. And I

944
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: want to be the kind of person that loves finding

945
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: the cool Airbnb on the beach and just hanging out

946
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 1: and it's great. And I have stayed in Airbnb once

947
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: in Passo Robles and it was great, except for when

948
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: they tried to hit me with a two hundred and

949
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: fifty dollars fee when I checked out because they said

950
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: I broke the garbage disposal, which I don't think we did.

951
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: But again, what do you do? I mean, it's like,

952
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: so I, you know, had to like dispute this thing,

953
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: and like, you know, you're back and forth with the person.

954
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: And some people like that. I mean, some people like

955
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: the fact that you know as soon as you book this,

956
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: like you don't know where it is until you book it,

957
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: which is like the first weird thing. You don't know

958
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: the address of where you're staying until you actually book it.

959
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I want to Google map. I want

960
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: to look at like satellite view. I want to see

961
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: like exactly where this is in comparison to other things,

962
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: and maybe you know, you can email the host and

963
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: ask them, but like, you know, then you could just

964
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, then you could just do the transaction outside

965
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: of Airbnb, which is probably why they don't do that.

966
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: So I look, I'm not knocking it. I know people

967
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: love it, and I think it's an amazing thing that

968
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: we have. But options, you know, hotels are great and

969
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: Airbnbs are great. I just personally stay in more hotels

970
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: and hotels are not innocent when it comes to what

971
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about, which is the fees. The fees

972
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: have gotten out of control. It started in Las Vegas

973
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: with resort fees and now it has gotten to every

974
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: hotel I've ever stayed in the past, you know, five years.

975
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 1: The fees are out of control. And the reason why

976
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: hotels love fees is because fees are tougher to show

977
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: up on comparison websites. So when you search for a

978
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: three or four star hotel in Las Vegas, you get

979
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: a list of hotels and oh, that one's ninety nine,

980
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: Oh that one's one ninety nine. That's easy to tell

981
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: which one's more expensive. The one ninety nine, but the

982
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: ninety nine might charge you fifty dollars a night for

983
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: a resort fee, and that's not necessarily necessarily reflected in

984
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: these comparison websites. And so that's why hotels love fees.

985
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 1: They love nickel and diming you to death for parking,

986
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: for daily resort fee, for an occupancy fee, for a

987
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: fee to flush the toilet. I mean, the fees have

988
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: gotten so out of control it's become a joke. So

989
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: my wife and I when we check into a hotel,

990
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: we sit there and we go, oh, did you use

991
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: your free USA Today newspaper today included your resort fee?

992
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: Did you get your two faxes in that you're faxing

993
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: to people for your daily resort fee? Did you use

994
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: the uh uh whatever it is. I mean, these fees

995
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: that they if you go on the websites of these

996
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: hotels and you see what the resort fee goes to,

997
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: it's like such a joke. It's all stuff that people

998
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: don't use anyway. So Airbnb apparently has gotten just as

999
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: bad with the cleaning fees and the occupancy fee, and

1000
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: the taxes and fees and the service fees, and it

1001
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: got so bad that Airbnb actually had to make a

1002
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 1: blog post on the web about their fees and they said, look,

1003
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: we've heard from guests about fees on Airbnbs, and we

1004
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: get it. There's you know, they didn't say there's a

1005
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: lot of them. But here's what we're going to do.

1006
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: They said that hosts set their own cleaning fees, and

1007
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: they made a good point that look, if it's you know,

1008
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: you don't know what the situation is with the cleaning,

1009
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: like the host may you know if they clean in

1010
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: between each person they hire someone they're hiring a cleaning

1011
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: crew for a hundred bucks, Like they've got to charge

1012
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: you one hundred dollars for that. Now, I think it

1013
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: should be blended into the fee to rent the place.

1014
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: That's just my personal opinion, but again, it makes it

1015
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: look cheaper to not see the cleaning fee until you

1016
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: go to check out and all the service fees for Airbnb,

1017
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: I think that you should be able to see a

1018
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: nightly fee that reflects what the actual nightly fee is, right,

1019
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: But that's not the way it works. So Airbnb said

1020
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:01,479
Speaker 1: that their fees are typically so cleaning fees typically cost

1021
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: less than ten percent of the total reservation, and then

1022
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: their fee typically comes out to about fourteen percent for

1023
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: the service fee. So they said that they are going

1024
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: to look into the fee structure and how fees are charged.

1025
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: But the reality is, as consumers we are this is

1026
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: just beginning. Everything that you do at a hotel used

1027
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: to be included in the price of the nightly rate,

1028
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: and now everything is parsed out. I was at a

1029
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: hotel and it on the TV screen when you turned

1030
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: it on, is said, oh, if you want late checkout,

1031
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: seventy five bucks extra. And it used to be one

1032
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: of those things where you can just call up and say, hey,

1033
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: can I get late checkout? I'm a great guest, I please,

1034
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: and they would look at their computers and they would say, okay,

1035
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: we can see that we're we're not really that full tomorrow,

1036
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: so we'll give it to you. Now it's just like, no,

1037
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: it's seventy five bucks for late checkout. Oh you want

1038
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: early checkout, that's going to be or sorry, early check in,

1039
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: that's going to be fifty bucks. Oh you want to

1040
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: use the lounge chair at the pool, that's fifteen teen dollars.

1041
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: In Vegas, this is pretty common. You know, you pay

1042
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: for all the lounge chairs I mean it's it's becoming

1043
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: a nickel and dime affair. And I get it. You know,

1044
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: they're they're they're figuring this stuff out. You know it

1045
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: all it's all because of these search engines that compare

1046
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: room rates, and so you may not realize that when

1047
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: you book a hotel in Las Vegas, it's great, but

1048
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: by the way, to use the pool, it's an extra.

1049
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,479
Speaker 1: You know, you're going to have to pay to find

1050
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: a chair or to use a chair. I mean, it's

1051
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: just the way things are. So I think that these

1052
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: these aggregators are getting smarter about building fees in We've

1053
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: seen it with the airlines. Same thing, all the airlines.

1054
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: Everything's uh, nickel and dime. You know, you want to

1055
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: bring a carry on, you gotta pay you want to.

1056
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: Now airlines are even getting so smart because there was

1057
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: a little scam with the airlines where you know, if

1058
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: you you have to check your bag, it's you know,

1059
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars but or whatever it is, and then

1060
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: you can bring it on the plane and you can

1061
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: just shove it in the overhead for free. Right, So

1062
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people are just bringing their bags and

1063
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: and knowing that they would have to check these because

1064
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: they're in group six, right, they board last, the overheads

1065
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: are going to be filled. And guess what the flight

1066
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: attendant says, Oh, we'll check that for you for free.

1067
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: We'll gate They call it gate checking. Well, now, you know,

1068
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: my wife and I would always joke, why don't you

1069
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: just bring on your bag every time and if it

1070
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: doesn't fit, you just gate check it. It's for free,

1071
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: instead of checking it at the front where it's going

1072
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 1: to cost you forty bucks. Well, clearly the airlines caught

1073
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: onto that. Not that I ever did that, by the way,

1074
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: I actually didn't, but a lot of people did. I

1075
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: notice that there's a lot of people bringing bags on

1076
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: board that you know, they knew they would not fit,

1077
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: And so the airlines now will charge you for a

1078
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: gate check fee if it doesn't fit in the overhead.

1079
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: So they've gotten very hip. Not all airlines, but I

1080
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: think it was I think it was American that got

1081
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: hipped to it first. But you know, don't quote me

1082
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: on that, but one of them did. And I'm sure

1083
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: they're all follow suit anyway. But my point is we're

1084
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 1: all figuring this out. I get it, all these companies

1085
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: need to make money, but it's gotten to the point

1086
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: where as a traveler, and I travel a lot, I

1087
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: feel like it's become a joke. Like literally, you're taking

1088
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: my wallet, you're taking it in front of you, and

1089
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: you're literally ringing out the money, like you're just ringing

1090
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: out the cash to just for everything. And I get

1091
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: it when you go to little little store downstairs, it's convenient.

1092
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay a little bit more for a bag

1093
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: of chips than I would a seven to eleven. But

1094
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 1: when you start doing all these things, it's just making

1095
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: me feel like, oh, come on, do you really value me?

1096
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: Do you really want me to stay here in the future,

1097
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: or do you want me to go to Airbnb? And

1098
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: that's why the airbnb people are complaining, because they started

1099
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: feeling like, well, I might as well stay to a hotel.

1100
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 1: If it's gonna be all these little nickel and dime fees,

1101
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: I'll just stay at a hotel again, and you know,

1102
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: get some of the benefits of a hotel, like I

1103
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: don't have to communicate with the host or you know,

1104
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: every you know, two minutes over email about how to

1105
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: get into my room or whatever. So I spent a

1106
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: lot of time on this topic because it is near

1107
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: and dear to me, and I just it just it

1108
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: just irks me that we get taken advantage of as consumers.

1109
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: When the technology has made things cheaper, it continues to

1110
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: get more expensive for us to do some of these things. Okay,

1111
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: let's let's see here. Nancy says, I have a flip

1112
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: phone Kyo Sarah that has fifteen hundred pictures on it.

1113
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: I cannot get it on an SD card. It's on

1114
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: my it's my grandchild and my labs. Do you have

1115
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: any way I can get them on a flash drive,

1116
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: then put them on an Android phone and put them

1117
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: on an SD card. Tom, Oh weird. The email comes

1118
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: from Nancy, but the Tom maybe they share Tom. A

1119
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: couple of things I would do. Number one, there is

1120
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: a program that is I think it's like open source.

1121
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: But back in the day, a lot of these old

1122
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: phones like Kyo Sarah used to have a software that

1123
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: you could use to access what's on the phone, and

1124
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: so I would. It's called BitPim b I t pim

1125
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 1: and it may work for your phone. And I don't

1126
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 1: know if it tells you which phones it supports, but

1127
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, you can kind of see if your phone

1128
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: is supported now. I would also go on to Kyosara's

1129
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: website and see if they have any software. Also, I

1130
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: was just on the freeway the other day and Kyosara

1131
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: is based in Los Angeles, so it looks like they

1132
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: have some sort of US based support, So maybe give

1133
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: them a call and ask them. But the BitPim, I

1134
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: think BitPim dot org is might be your best ability.

1135
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: Or you can just google like Kyosera software and the

1136
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 1: and the name of your phone, like uh, you know

1137
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: the model number, and see you might be able to

1138
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: plug it into your computer to be able to download these,

1139
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: uh these pictures. So that's the number one thing I do.

1140
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: Number two thing I would do is bring it to

1141
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 1: a store, like you break I fix or even your

1142
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: carrier whoever, you know, if it's a Verizon phone, bring

1143
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 1: it to Verizon A lot of times in the back

1144
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: they have these tools that they can plug into the

1145
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: phones to extract the data from them, and so that's

1146
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: another way of going about it. And then you break

1147
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: I fix. They're kind of like an Uber you know,

1148
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: uh fix of phones they have not like the Uber service,

1149
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: I mean like big big picture. They can work on

1150
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 1: a lot of different phones, so you might just bring

1151
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: it in there and just tell them what's happening and

1152
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: see if they can extract those photos. But there's definitely

1153
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: a way to get them off this phone, for sure.

1154
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: At the very least, if it's bluetooth, you might even

1155
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: be able to bluetooth these photos to another device. But again,

1156
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: you might be able to like link this device up

1157
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: to your Windows computer or a Mac computer and then

1158
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: browse the file system. But I don't know. I haven't

1159
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: done this in a long time, but I do remember

1160
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: doing this for an old, old phone and it did work.

1161
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,919
Speaker 1: So those are my solutions. That's what I look into

1162
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: and see if it works all right. Gosh, a couple

1163
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: of quick things before we go here. F one fifty

1164
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: lightning all electric F one to fifty pickup truck from Ford.

1165
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: They unveiled it this week. The cool feature is that

1166
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: it can power your house. So this car, you basically

1167
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: plug your house into it if your power goes out,

1168
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: and it can power your car or your house for

1169
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: like a couple of days, which is kind of cool.

1170
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: Now they're saying this car is under forty thousand, but

1171
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: that's for a commercial version that's probably stripped down the XLT,

1172
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: which is the mid series. That one is fifty three thousand.

1173
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: That's probably gonna be the one that most people are.

1174
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: You know, let's be honest. When you go into a

1175
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: car place, you know, whatever you see advertised is not

1176
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: the price that you pay because it's like, oh, you

1177
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: want windows that roll that are powered, not rolled down. Okay,

1178
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,919
Speaker 1: that's gonna be an extra two thousand dollars. So this

1179
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: is gonna be a great truck. I think it's a

1180
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: cool I mean, it's got a fronk. It's just such

1181
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: a cool looking. The idea that the biggest kind of

1182
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: like truck in America d F one fifty is so

1183
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: like America iconic. Like the fact that that's going electric

1184
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: is really cool. So, like I said, I'm not a

1185
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: pickup truck guy, but I told my wife, I was like,

1186
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I could see myself getting this thing

1187
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: just because it's so cool, but I probably won't. All right,

1188
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: let's see here any other questions that I want to address.

1189
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna do it for this show. I

1190
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: try to keep these under an hour because when I

1191
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: see an hour on my podcast app, I'm like, I

1192
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: don't want to sit there and listen to a show

1193
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: for an hour. One more thing. Internet Explore End of

1194
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: an era. It is being retired on June fifteenth, twenty

1195
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: twenty two. I don't think anyone listening to this show

1196
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: is still using Internet Explore. Maybe you are, but I

1197
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:34,959
Speaker 1: don't think so. It's mostly specialized corporations that still run

1198
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: apps that require Internet Explore, but they're urging you to

1199
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: switch to Microsoft Edge or something similar. Oh you know

1200
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: what that sound means. That's gonna do it for this

1201
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: episode of the show. If you would like to submit

1202
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,920
