Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on? 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.159 I'm Rich Dmiro and this is Rich on Tech, the 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.479 podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.760 you should know about. It's also the place where I 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.040 answer the questions you send me. And believe me, you 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:36.520 send me a lot of them. I say it every week. 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.519 You do. You never you never failed to surprise me 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.640 with how many questions you can send. And they're all 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.240 great questions, they really are. My name is Rich Demiro, 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.200 tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Thanks 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.400 for tuning in to the podcast, thanks for watching on TV, 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.440 and just thanks for being there. Ah so much tech 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.400 news this week. I think this might take the ward 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.640 for twenty twenty one of being the biggest week in 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.440 tech news of the year so far. I mean, I'm 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.280 just looking at the rundown here. We've got Google Io, 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.720 We've got the new Apple TV, We've got Spotify news, 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.840 we've got Twitter news, we've got Ford news, We've got 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.720 Microsoft news. It's a lot. There's been a lot going 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.400 on this week, so we're gonna get through it, and 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.399 we're going to talk about the questions that you have 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.840 sent me. But man, I you know, I'm always playing 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.280 with stuff. I'm always kind of experimenting with different tech 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.959 and stuff. And something that kind of bubbled up to 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.720 the surface or these electric bikes, you know, And so 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.360 a friend sent a thing that said, you gotta do 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.440 a story on these electric bikes. I said, no way, 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.720 They're way too expensive. I'm not doing that. And then 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.240 all of a sudden, I just start seeing more and 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.760 more about electric bikes. I mean, everyone's talking. I went 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.520 up to Ventura, which is here in California, and I 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.600 was on a bike path and just like half the 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.760 bikes whizzing past me were electric. And I said, okay, 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.040 I got to do something on this. And so one 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.360 of the big brands is called van Move, and they're like, 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:07.960 can we send you a bike? And I said no, 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.359 I don't want to deal with that, and they said please, 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.240 and I said, okay, fine, send me the test bike. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.920 So I got it yesterday. I'm not kidding. I put 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.320 this thing together, which was a little little tricky, but 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.200 I finally got it working last night. And I am 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.720 like one hundred percent sold. I cannot believe this thing 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.760 is the Apple. It's the iPhone of electric bikes. And 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.040 I'm not ready to do my full review just yet 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.799 because I literally just went on it for like two 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.519 minutes last night. But it is so amazing. I mean, 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.280 it just takes bike. Now I want to commute to 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.680 my job with a bike. I'm like, how can I 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.200 commute on a bike like you know that last mile 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:46.840 like that? Or just take it and put it in 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:51.720 the bike locker. It's really really fantastic, So expect to 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.880 hear more about electric bikes soon. Another thing I've been 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.240 playing with is Amazon Music. I've been testing out all 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.960 the different music services because I'm just as curious, and 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.760 i gotta say, I'm actually quite impressed with what Amazon 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.120 Music is all about, because it's simple. It's just easy. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.160 It's like the main thing I went down this rabbit 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.639 hole of trying to for some reason, all the maybe 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.520 I already mentioned this on the podcast last week, but 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.520 all the services on sons when you go to browse 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.560 your music services like they're all organized in like this 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.720 weird way, except for Amazon Music, where you can you know, 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.880 just search by like mood and genre whereas for some reason, 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.160 all the other ones want to like surface here's what 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.200 we think you should be listening to, because it's five 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.240 pm and it's dinner time, and it's you know, or 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.680 it's morning on a weekend, and it's just like no, no, no, 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.160 just let me pick what I want to pick. So anyway, 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.680 I've been truly impressed with Apple, Amazon Music. Oh yeah, 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.560 another story they went HD this week. Gosh, more and 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.200 more just news coming out. But anyway, let's start with 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.720 Google IO. This is the big developers conference from Google 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.200 that happens every year up in Mountain View. Last year 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.320 they did not do it. This year. It's virtual and 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.480 it it was okay. I mean, it was not the 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.000 most exciting event. I don't think the announcements were that groundbreaking, 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.800 but it was it was nice to see Google doing 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.760 kind of a hybrid event. They had, you know, there 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.200 are people standing in the middle of campus. It was live, 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.800 which I liked, and they had a couple people socially 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.120 distanced just kind of watching in the audience, maybe like 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.359 ten or fifteen people, and everyone else was just virtual 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.880 watching online. But so, you know, the main theme that 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.919 I noticed with with Google is Google and Apple could 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.200 not be any different. Their approaches to the world are 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.440 so different. And you know, these are both very inclusive companies, 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.000 like I think they're. You know, Apple is one of 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.600 the most diverse and inclusive companies I've ever worked with, 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.680 which is amazing. Same goes with Google, but the way 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.599 that they approach things in their tech is a little 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.040 bit different. Like Apple, when you think about their stuff, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.640 it's very expensive, right, It's it's priced at a certain price. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.320 You got to be in the Apple ecosystem. Everything works 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.360 together beautifully, but you got to be on board. You 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.200 gotta do what Apple wants you to do and it 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:04.080 will work just fine. Whereas Google, their idea is like, 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.200 let's just sort everything out and let's just give you 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.000 a lot of options, and a lot of those options 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.640 are gonna be inexpensive. We don't really care how you 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.960 use them. But we're just gonna give you a lot 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.839 of stuff. And you know, whether it's Google Photos, which 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.240 works on you know, everything from like a fifty dollars 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.960 Android phone, to Google Maps that just you know, can 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.440 help you find your way around the world. That that, 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.839 to me, is the biggest difference between these two companies. 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.400 They're both amazing I'm not knocking either one of them, 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.680 but the way, as a reporter who's covered them for 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.840 many years, I just see two divergent streams. You know, 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.840 they're both going in different directions. Like Apple, the longer 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.920 you're with them, the more you're in Apple, right, Whereas 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.520 Google is kind of like, hey, we're gonna give you 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.400 this stuff, and like I said, you can access it 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.479 and use it however you want. Like if you want 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.680 to use Google Chrome Cast, fine, but we're also gonna 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.760 let you watch your movies on any service, or you 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.839 want to use Google Maps on our phone or Pixel fine. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.640 But you know, options are always nice. So that was 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.039 my main takeaway. But Google just continues on their quest 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.760 to kind of organize the world's information, make it easier 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.520 to access and just simpler. So they announced a whole 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.719 bunch of nerdy stuff, like these new like AI powered things, 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.599 Like they showed off talking to data sets, which is 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.680 just wild. So they showed off like talking to Pluto, 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.600 not the animal, but the former planet, and so you're 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.159 literally they feed a data set about Pluto into this 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.680 thing called Lambda, and now you can converse with it 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.400 and be like, hey, what's it like on Pluto? And 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.360 Pluto will describe to you what's it like on its surface. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.560 So that's kind of a wild What other things do 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.720 they do? So search? You know they did. They didn't 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.719 really announce a whole bunch of search, except like, there's 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.320 this new feature where you can delete the last fifteen 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.440 minutes of your search, so you know, they gave the 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.640 example of if you're searching for an engagement ring for 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.320 your loved one, you know your significant other and you 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.719 don't want them to see it, so you can delete 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.479 the last fifteen minutes. So okay, you've got that. Google Photos. 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:00.919 You know, we've got a big thing coming up with 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.520 Google Photos on June first, where they're gonna, you know, 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.000 start charging for the storage. Where you know, it's a 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.800 little misleading, but basically, your fifteen gigs or your fifteen gigs, 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.600 whether you do high quality or full quality, it doesn't matter. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.400 It's fifteen gigs. And so now a lot of people 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.040 are gonna be above that and they're gonna have to 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.080 pay for that. But I love Google Photos. I'm still 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.120 gonna pay. I upgraded mine to the fifty dollars a 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.520 month plan, which is just it's a lot, but you 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.240 know what It's just taken a weight off my shoulders 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.080 to know that I can just take these four K 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.920 videos and just keep uploading them and not really think, 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.880 and one day I will organize my Google Photos, get 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.960 rid of all the duplicates in the big files, and 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.040 you know, hopefully by then data is so cheap that 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.559 it will be like twenty bucks a month. Again, Google 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.320 Photos now stores four trillion photos and videos. They're gonna 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.000 do a little locker on your phone so you can 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:53.080 keep selected photos private. But a lot of people are 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.400 saying this is not very exciting because it doesn't upload 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.080 them to the cloud. So it's like, what's the point. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.160 You can't really safeguard these pictures. Or you can safeguard them, 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.880 but you can't really save them. So I get it. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.160 It doesn't make sense, but it's kind of what how 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.000 they're doing it. Yeah, privacy was a big was a 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.000 big thing with Google, and I think they're reacting to 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.880 kind of Apple's entire push with privacy because Google's like, hey, 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.240 we're private too. I mean, it just takes a little 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.640 bit more for you to you know, be private with Google, 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.920 but you can be. And they showed off Android twelve, 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.000 which i've been playing with on the pixel it's like 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.240 the only the best way I can describe it is 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.640 candy colored and sugarcoated. That's just the way. It's like bubblegum. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.760 Everything's like poppy and beautiful and like big and bold 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.200 and like a little bit simpler, like and I don't 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.280 want to disrespect anyone, but it feels like it's an 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.680 operating system that they're like, Okay, we get it. There's 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.120 a lot of non techies that use our devices, so 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.600 let's make it a little bit easier for them, right, 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.599 Let's make everything a little bit bigger. The button's a 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.640 little bit brighter. Let's you know, when you when you 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.679 swipe down for your notifications shade, Let's label those things 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.640 like not everyone knows what a Wi Fi symbol is 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.200 or I guess that one you do it, but the 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.199 rest of them maybe not. So let's label those make 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.800 them easier to select and de select. So there's a 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.400 lot of stuff like that. What else, they did this 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.360 really cool thing project Starline, which is basically three D 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.240 video chat. Imagine you step into a video booth and 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.640 you see the person on the other side that you're 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.400 video chatting with, but they look like they're there, and 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.280 this is not a new idea. I did a story 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.640 with Senet, you know, going on fifteen years ago. With Cisco, 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.640 they had something I think it was called like telepresence. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.880 I forget what their term was, that the brand name, 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.080 but I did something. I went into a studio and 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.520 saw this and it just looked like people were across 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.680 the table from you on a flat screen. But this 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.600 is kind of bringing them to life in a three 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.040 D way. So I am all about that. I as 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.080 family with family that lives on the other side of 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.840 the country. I would love to just sit down and 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.880 hang out with my family in a way that they 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:59.640 look like they're actually there. That'd be so cool. What else, 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.040 I mean, they're improving their password manager. I think that's 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.760 basically it for the main stuff. I mean, that's that's 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.520 kind of like my takeaway from Google Io. It's cool. 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.840 Google just continues to like do cool stuff and organize 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.880 the world's information. And if I ever worked for Google, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.640 I would do things a little bit differently, Like I'd 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.560 have some ideas for like Google Photos and Android, and 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.719 you know, like believe me, I'd come to the I'd 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.240 come to the table with a lot of ideas about 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.600 the smart home about you know, I'd do the same 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.199 thing if I worked for Apple. I mean I would. 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.120 I'd have actually any company, I'd have a lot of ideas. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.480 I'm like that person that comes to the first day 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.360 of work with like a folder, like all the papers 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.199 flying out of it, and I'm like, hey, hey over here, 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.240 what about this? And I'm like, yeah, dude, slow your role, 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.360 We've figured out, We've talked about a lot of this stuff. 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.560 You're you're new to this, so just just hang on anyway. 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.960 So Google Io, I'm looking forward to being there in 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.800 person next year. It will be in person next year, 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.840 Google Io twenty twenty two. It is an exciting event. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.400 It's kind of like Coachella but for programmers. And it 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.480 is fun to be up in Mountain View two experience 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:10.079 at firsthand. All right, let's get to the first question. Hey, 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.520 Rich First off, I'm not sure you take emails about 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.400 specific items. I felt like I saw in one of 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.840 your earlier posts you did mention something about dropping you 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.800 an email, So I hope you don't mind this. No, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.280 I do not. I recently started an Instagram page for 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.920 my diy stuff. Now I've been using my Samsung Note 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.160 phone to record all the videos then edit the videos 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.760 on the phone. It works great, but I've completely maximized 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.120 my storage both internally and on an SD card. I 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.200 figured with all the posts and videos you make, you 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.600 probably would be a great resource to ask what kind 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.040 of camera you use and how you edit your photos 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.160 your videos. Thank you for taking the time and all 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:47.920 the information. I'm a big fan and love seeing you 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.880 on KTLA. Best Jeff. All right, Well, Jeff clearly not 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.319 a listener to the podcast, which is fine. Not everyone 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.520 that emails me or gets in touch as a listener 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.000 of the podcast, but you so, yes, you can totally 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.559 email me your questions and I'm happy to answer this. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.840 So and by the way, the questions I picked for 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.960 the podcast, I generally picked them based on the broad 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.440 appeal to other people, like Jeff is probably not the 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.240 only person that's doing stuff on his phone and posting 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.520 it in maxim ount maximizing his storage. I'll give you 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.120 a funny story which is so embarrassing. I was on 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.800 a shoot yesterday or the day before the day before, 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.400 and I'm not no joke, I'm recording something and I 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.760 actually handed my phone to someone else to like record me, 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.240 and he hands it back and he goes, uh, I 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.559 don't think that was recording the whole time. I said what, 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.000 because yeah, it was just zero's at the end. I said, 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.199 wait oh, and I knew what happened. My phone has 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.680 been at the at the end of its storage, like 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.319 it's it's it's maxed out. It's at like, you know, 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.360 one hundred percent, and so it ran out of storage 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.360 while I was recording this video. And I'm sitting there 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.080 like the person that I always say don't be, like, 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.600 don't be the person at your kids uh, you know, 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:04.040 play at school that is deleting. That's literally I've seen 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.680 this happen. You're at your kids holiday performance and the 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.560 person in front of you is taking a picture or 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.400 video and up pops that message on their iPhone that 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:16.880 says out of storage merm. And you're like, oh my gosh, 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.400 I'm so embarrassed for you, Like, dude, clean out your 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.839 phone before you go to your kids recital. And here 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.240 I am on a shoot and it's the same thing. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.400 And this guy probably like dude, this is the tech guy, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.160 Like are you kidding me? This guy is like a 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.120 total rookie. And I was so I'm sitting there like 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.760 going through the iPhone storage, like deleting big videos. Now, 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.000 I will tell you I do record everything in four 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.760 K to try to future proof my videos, and also 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.520 they're easier to zoom in on that if you want 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.520 to crop something. So I do record in large files 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.080 and it gobbles up my memory. So anyway, I'm not 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:53.040 giving you excuses, but so Jeff, to answer your question, 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.000 you got to offload these things. You know, I use 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.360 my phone to record and edit the stuff. I use 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.520 Adobe Rush to edit, which will work on the note. 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.040 Just fine. Get a bigger SD card if you can 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.040 max that out. I think on your note, depending on 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.000 what model you have, you could either go five twelve 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.000 or a terabyte. Get the biggest one you can, and 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.679 you could either swap those out and save them, or 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.200 you can offload some of your videos to like something 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.760 like if you don't want to use a cloud, which 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.800 I would recommend Google Photos, but if you don't want 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.280 to use that. I did a story this week on 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.520 USB drives that you can stick into your phone, so 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.640 you can get what's called the sand disc I expand 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.760 flash drive lucks and that will that has USB C 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.640 on the bottom, you plug it into your phone, you 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.760 download an app called sand Disc Memory Zone, and you 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.480 can then back up all the videos from your phone 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.280 onto this drive, so you kind of offload them there 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.080 and then that will then you can delete them off 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.120 your phone. So that's what I would do. I would 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.080 use a cloud and then delete them off your phone. 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:55.600 That way they're safe in the cloud. But if you 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.480 don't want to pay for that cloud storage, like I 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.360 just talked about, get one of these flash drive or 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:04.200 just you can continually swap out the uh you know, 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.720 the drives or the mini SD card micro SD card 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.880 on your phone. Now, I don't think that's as easy. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.760 I think that's kind of a more complicated solution, or 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.160 you know, if you want, because memory cards are so cheap, 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:17.800 you could just kind of keep a little system where 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.600 every month you swap it out for a new one 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.720 and you keep them in like a little rack. I mean, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.800 there's just lots of ways to do this, but I 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.440 think the cloud is the easiest. It's also the most expensive. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.760 Swapping out the SD cards a little bit more complicated, 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.560 but it's definitely an easy system. Okay, here's all my 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.600 stuff from March. Here's all my stuff from April. Here's 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.040 all my stuff from May. And then the other way, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.080 like I said, is the plugging in the USB drive. 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.560 If you're on iPhone, you can do the same thing. 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.560 By the way, that flash drive I just mentioned, the 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.040 sand disc I expand will work with iPhone as well. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.600 Or I tested one called the p n Y Duo Link, 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.640 which is thirty five dollars and same thing. You plug 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.920 it into the bottom of your phone. It uses special 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.960 software to you know, to download the photos from your 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.000 phone onto the flash drive. And recommendation, by the way, 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.560 always have your pictures in two places no matter what. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.800 And your videos. But Jeff cool, I mean, I'm glad 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.200 you're doing a little Instagram page. Yeah, these videos add 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.480 up quick, but it's fun. It's rewarding when people start 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.160 taking notice and you just have to make sure everything's 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.720 backed up and you've got that system down because you 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.880 don't want what happened to me. We're you're in the 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.680 middle of a shoot and next thing you know, you're 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.680 trying to scramble to get stuff off your phone. You 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.680 don't want to be in that position because you're gonna 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.280 mess something up and kind of mistake something. So there 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.480 you have it all right, let's talk about the Apple 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.800 TV after almost four years. Basically, the Apple TV has 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.080 finally gotten a refresh, goes on sale, or it is 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.880 on sale as of this podcast, so it's the Apple 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.720 TV four K. I'll have my review of it next 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.080 week on TV. But the main takeaway for me, having 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.040 used this thing for a little bit now, is that 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.520 it does not feel any different than my old Apple 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.879 TV four K. Maybe it's faster, but I can't really 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.960 notice that. Now you're saying, Okay, Rich, why would I 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.679 pay one hundred and eighty dollars for this thing if 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.600 it's not any faster. Well, you're paying for another four 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.000 years of service through this thing, right, So it may 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.080 not be faster today. But we know that apps are 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.560 just going to continue to get more processor dependent, especially 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.840 games if you do any gaming on it, with Apple 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.160 Arcade and just in general, you know, these things are 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.439 just they the apps that we're using just continue to 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.639 get more space hungry and more process or hungry. And 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.240 so that's what you're doing, is you're just you know, 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.080 Apple's just upgrading this thing with an A twelve Bionic, 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.600 which is you know, an older processor that was found 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.840 in a I forget which iPhone. It was a while ago, 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.000 but it's still just great. I mean, streaming video clearly 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.159 does not take a lot of horsepower, because you know, 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.840 I've tested streaming six or twenty five dollars and they 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.880 run Netflix just fine. Now, the thing that I think 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.879 is the delineation here is how fast apps open. And 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.000 I notice on the Cheapo fire Sticks and the cheap 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.240 o Rokus the apps take a lot longer to open 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.359 than on the Roku Ultra or the you know, the 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.680 nice four K version of the Apple of the fire 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.520 TV or the you know, they just everything is a 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:16.760 little bit faster when you have a better processor. And 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.160 the same thing with the Apple TV. So I don't 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.560 think you need to upgrade for that reason. But I 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.840 do think the new series remote is much better, and 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.640 they've totally redesigned it. I've got the video on my Instagram. 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.600 It's got a ClickPad, so it's got okay, how do 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.120 I explain this. It's both touch sensitive and it has 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.640 clickable four way you know, like clickers whatever you want 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.920 to call them, buttons, So it's got like a circular 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.800 area but you can click four ways, or you can swipe, 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.000 or you can jog, so it's it's a much much 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.200 better remote. There's also dedicated power and mute buttons, which 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.880 is really nice. I did notice last night, though, there 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.959 is one flaw with the remote. The play pause button 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.479 should be the last button, like the lowest most button 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.359 on the remote, but that's actually the mute button. And 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.240 last night my muscle memory just went to play pause 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.600 and I just pressed the mute button by accident. I said, oh, 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:12.960 this should be the play pause position, but you know, 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:17.480 maybe you know whatever. That's just my opinion. But anyway, 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.640 so the remote is actually being sold by itself for 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:25.760 fifty nine dollars, which I think it it. It does 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.240 definitely make me think that that would be a pretty 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.560 good upgrade to the current Apple TV. Like, if you 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.240
