WEBVTT - iOS 18 Deep Dive, Automation's Job Impact & iPhone 16 Review

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>The iPhone sixteen lineup has landed. Did you make the leap?

0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to share the best new features in iOS

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 2>eighteen that are worth checking out. Amazon is at it

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 2>again with yet another Prime Day. I've got the dates

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 2>and some smart shopping strategies to help you save and

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>remember Flappy Bird, the addictive mobile game making an unexpected comeback.

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you why, plus your tech questions answered.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>What's going on?

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech. This

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 2>is the show where I talk about the tech stuff

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I think you should know about. It's also the place

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>where I answer your questions about technology. I believe the

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>tech should be interesting, useful, and fun. Let's open up

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 2>those phone lines at triple eight Rich one oh one.

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 2>That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 2>zero one. Give me a call if you have a

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>question about technology, don't be shy. Also, a lot of

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>iPhone upgraders and questions about that today. I'm assuming just

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>because it's a big deal with this iPhone sixteen. So

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>if you upgraded, or you're thinking about upgrading, or maybe

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 2>you're having an issue or maybe it didn't upgrade, give

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>me a call. We'll get you on the show and

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about that. Email is also open. Just go

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 2>to the website rich on tech dot tv and hit

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the contact link rich on tech dot Tv. Hit contact

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 2>and if you want a link to something I mentioned

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 2>here on the show, just go to the website and

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>tap the light bulb icon. Well, welcome to the show

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>from Las Vegas Today, Live from Las Vegas. I'm here

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 2>for the iHeartRadio Music Festival. iHeart certainly knows how to

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>put on a good show. This is a two day

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.839
<v Speaker 2>music festival, and my wife and I were curious about

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>how this would work, and it worked out pretty well.

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>It's fun.

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 2>So they have a bunch of artists that are all playing,

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and they all play, you know, some of their best songs,

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 2>and it moves very quickly. They've actually had this like

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>rotating stage so that they can set up one band

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>to the front, the other band setting up in the back.

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 2>As soon as that one band is done, they rotate

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the stage and the next one comes out. So I

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>was pretty impressive that. So we've been having a really

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>good time here doing that. You know, Vegas is it's

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>one of those places where you either love it or

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>hate it. Personally, I really like it. I really enjoy it.

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, we do some simple things here, just enjoy shows,

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 2>enjoy nice dinner, and a little maybe a little little

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 2>bit of gambling here and there. Believe me, I'm too

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>frugal to part with all of my cash or what

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>little I have. You know, I do have kids. So

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>we've got some guests this week. Brian Merchant, author of

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Blood in the Machine. He's going to talk about that

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>trend at Chipotle. I don't know if you heard about this,

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 2>but they are now automating some of their stores making

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 2>those burrito bowls by robots. So he's going to talk

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>about that, and then later on Friend of the Show,

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Matt Swider, he writes the excellent newsletter called the Shortcut.

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>He's going to talk about the iPhone sixteen new features

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>and compare it to the previous models. Now, if you

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 2>did update your iPhone to iOS eighteen, you got a

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>pretty new iPhone just by updating the software. So iOS

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>eighteen is available if you haven't downloaded it. So far,

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen any real major issues on it. They've

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 2>been testing this for a long time, but it's available

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 2>for the iPhone ten s and up models. So remember

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>the ten. It was like, the X is not the X,

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 2>that one's not included, but it's the ten s. The

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 2>ten are the eleven, the twelve, the thirteen, the fourteen,

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 2>the fifteen, the sixteen. And if you have an iPhone

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>S second generation or later, So.

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>What are you gonna get?

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're not gonna get Apple Intelligence that is coming soon.

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>And so everyone is talking about this AI stuff and

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Apple kind of missed the boat on that. But here's

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 2>the thing. They have released it as a public beta.

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't recommend typically that you download public betas because

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>it can really mess up your phone because it's just

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>like the beta software. But if you're really adventurous, you

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>can now get this AI stuff in the public beta

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>eighteen teen point one. Siri can rewrite your stuff, you know,

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 2>like your text messages and your emails. Siriri has a

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>whole new design. You can erase things from your photos

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>and much more. Just keep in mind if you do

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>the beta, if you want to go back to the

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>regular software, you do have to erase your entire phone,

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>So I don't typically recommend it for that. But if

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 2>you've got IOSA teen, just the regular version of it,

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>what can you do. Everything looks so new and different.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Number one, your home screen. You can now place icons

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.359
<v Speaker 2>anywhere you want. And I know that's a small weird

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>thing that Android has had forever, but it's kind of

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 2>nice to be able to do that. And if you

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 2>press and hold on any app, you can now turn

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>it into a widget. So just press and hold on

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 2>an app you'll see some icons that look like widgets.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 2>That's really cool because let's say you have a clock app.

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>You can now just press and hold and turn that

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 2>into a clock widget. So that's really handy. Your app icons,

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 2>you can now make them light, you can make them dark,

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 2>you can tint them a certain color if you want,

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and maybe you want to be a little easier on

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>your eyes. You can change your icons into large icons.

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 2>So if you press a hold on there, it'll say

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>use large icons in the edit area, and all of

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>your names of the icons go away, but they will

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>become much bigger.

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Over in Control Center, this is when you swipe down

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.679
<v Speaker 2>from the right side of your phone. That is much

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 2>more customizable. This is where you find your Wi Fi

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 2>and your cellular settings. Now you can have multiple pages

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 2>so you can completely customize the things that are on

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 2>these pages, so I put a lot of shortcuts in there.

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>It's very very handy.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 2>You can also have a separate page just for your

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 2>media playback, a connectivity page. So this is really really

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 2>a place where you want to dive in and customize

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 2>your phone. Like, for instance, this morning, I was out

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>at a restaurant and I basically added a QR code scanner,

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>because you know how you aimed your phone at, a

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 2>QR code doesn't always find it. Well, you can add

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 2>a QR code scanner shortcut to your control center and

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 2>now when you tap that, it'll immediately go into the

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.280
<v Speaker 2>mode where it's scanning for a QR code. So that's

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 2>very handy, and there's so many of those types of things.

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>You can also customize the shortcuts on the home screen,

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 2>so when you're I should say the lock screen, so

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 2>when your phone is locked, you used to only be

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>able to activate the flashlight in the camera. Well, now

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 2>you can replace those with whatever shortcuts you want. So

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 2>for me personally, let's see what I replaced them with,

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 2>because I forget already. Oh I still have the flashlight

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and the camera. I got to replace those with something better. Now,

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the action button, this is something that was on the

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 2>iPhone fifteen Pro models last year.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 1>It's now on the iPhone sixteen models.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 2>That has replaced on the left side of your phone

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the Ringer silent switch, So if you got a new

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>iPhone sixteen, you can customize that button to do whatever

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:41.239
<v Speaker 2>you want.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>So on my phone, I've got it.

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Where it immediately starts recording a voice memo and it

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 2>transcribes it and sends it to my email. It is

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 2>really really handy. It's an app called Whisper Whisper Memos

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Whispermemos dot com.

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely love this app.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 2>It'll change your life if you like to take a

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of voice memos and have them transcribed, and it's

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>in your inbox, which means you can deal with them

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>whenever you feel like it, so you never forget anything anymore.

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 1>The photos app got a big redesign. Good luck with that.

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Just kidding.

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean it is a lot more complicated. It looks

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>like there's like a lot more going on. But my

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 2>recommendation open up the photos app if you're on iOS eighteen,

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 2>scroll all the way down to the bottom and there

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>is an option to customize and reorder what they show

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>in the photos app. I got rid of everything except

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>recent photos, media types, and utilities, which means I see

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 2>all my recent photos. I can see like if I

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 2>want selfies or videos or whatever, and then utility shows

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>things like duplicate photos. So if you want to clean

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>up kind of your photos app, I know Apple added

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of stuff in there. Just scroll all the

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 2>way down to the bottom of the screen and you

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 2>can do that now. When it comes to messages, this

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of updates. So messages obviously is where

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people spend a lot of time on

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone. The big, big, big change is that you

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 2>now have support for RCS, so that means rich communication services.

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 2>That means when you text an Android phone, you can

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>send bigger files, you can see when someone's typing, you

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 2>can see read receipts. The problem is, I am having

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>trouble with this on my phone. Messages are not getting

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>delivered from Android phones to my phone for some reason.

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>So if that's happening, if you're texting people and they're

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 2>not texting you back, and you're wondering why, it could

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 2>be some sort of issue that we're seeing right now

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>with the rollout of all this, because a lot of

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>people jumped on board rcs all at the same time,

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>So be patient with that and ask your friends maybe

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.199
<v Speaker 2>call them and be like, hey, are you trying to

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>type me something because it's not working. So many things

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.959
<v Speaker 2>you can do in messages now. You can make your

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 2>text like jump and add effects to it. You can

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 2>format your text. You can use any emoji to respond

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.599
<v Speaker 2>to text. You can send a text later, so you

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 2>can schedule a text to send later. So to do that,

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 2>tap the plus sign next to the message box and

0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 2>look for an option called send later. You might have

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 2>to like scroll to find it, but if you press

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 2>an hold on it, you can drag that up to

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.559
<v Speaker 2>the top of the list. So messages really really improved.

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>You also might notice there's a new passwords app. Please

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.679
<v Speaker 2>use this app. I beg of you stop making passwords

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 2>up that are really bad. Use this app to generate

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>strong passwords. Apple will store them. You can see your

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Wi Fi passwords, your two factor authentication codes. You can

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 2>even make a group where you share your passwords with

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Like if you want to share a password for your

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Netflix with your significant others you both have access to it.

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 2>You can do that all in this app. Please use

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 2>that passwords app. It is much much safer than making

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 2>your own passwords and trying to remember them.

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>A couple other things you can do.

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 2>You can now lock app, so if you want an

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>app to require face ID or touch ID before you

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 2>can actually use it, you can lock down an app.

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>So press and hold and it will say require face ID,

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 2>enable that, and now nobody can open that app without

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 2>your face or your or your fingerprint or your passcode.

0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 2>You can even hide an app, so if you don't

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 2>want an app to show up on your phone at all,

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>you can hide it once you lock it. You can

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>say hide this app, and it will put it in

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 2>a special folder that doesn't even show up on your

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 2>phone unless you are looking at your phone screen.

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>So this is really good for privacy.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I put all my financial apps in there, so if

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>someone ever got a hold of my phone, they don't

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 2>even see the bank that I use or the card

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>that I have or anything like that because it's totally

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>completely just blanked out for their eyes. Let's see what else. Oh,

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of accessibility features.

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I tracking.

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 2>You can now control your phone with your eyes, so

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 2>go into accessibility for that. And you can also set

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>vocal shortcuts, so if you have an atypical speech issue,

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>you can record a vocal shortcut that will trigger certain

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>actions on the phone with the sound that you make.

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's really great for accessibility.

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 2>And inside calculator, you got to find this little easter egg.

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:53.319
<v Speaker 1>So if you tap in.

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>The lower left hand corner, you'll notice they have a

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>thing called math notes. And if you type or you know,

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 2>draw on your screen, you can literally use your finger

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 2>to draw out a math problem and it will solve

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.319
<v Speaker 2>it in your handwriting. And by the way, the calculator,

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 2>after I don't know how many years of the iPhone,

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years of the iPhone, finally got a backspace button.

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>So if you make a mistake on one of the

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>numbers you type in, you can finally.

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Press backspace and it will delete it. All right.

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>If you want to read about all of these new features,

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll put the link on the website.

<v Speaker 2>Vegas where the weather is nice, because typically i'm here

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 2>for Ces that's in January, it is brutally cold, and

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.080

<v Speaker 2>San Clemente. Kevin, you're on with Rich. Welcome to the show.

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Hello you there. Okay, don't don't hear Kevin.

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's see. Let's try one more time. Kevin on Line one.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>You there, Nope, Okay, let's try line two. Matthew in Sonora, California. Matt,

0:12:58.880 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>are you there?

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 4>And I'm looking for an electronic engineer to take my

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 4>schematics and take my shoebox size prototype and scale it

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 4>down to what it needs to be. Is the size

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 4>of one of those road reflector bumps in the road.

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 4>Where's the best place to find a talented electronic engineer

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.839
<v Speaker 4>to help me with this project? Is there a school

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 4>I could reach out to for graduates or is there

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 4>a website or a Facebook page you could subject? You

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 4>could suggest?

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 2>So you've invented something and you need someone to take

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>your design and bring it to life.

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 4>And I have the schematics already, all the hard bits,

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 4>I just need someone to build it.

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Really, what's can you? Can you tell us about the product?

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Or no?

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 5>Sure?

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, it's a smart road reflector. It's known as a boxtop,

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 4>those little bumps to reflector. Yeah, as a battery and

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 4>a solar panel, and that condict detect the presence of

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 4>wildlife like deer and an approaching car. When it detects

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 4>both both of them, it starts blinking to warn the

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 4>car and emits a sound to drive the animal away

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 4>from the road roadside. You can see my website if

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I may mention it.

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's not mention the website. Yeah, no problem, you know.

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 2>But but yeah, that's that's interesting. I mean, as someone

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 2>who has had a close call with a deer, believe me,

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 2>those you know it's it's bad.

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't you don't A lot of people

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 1>dodge a.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 4>Dear and hit a tree. So yeah, my lifelong ambition

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 4>is to get this on roads and in national parks

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 4>and indots and areas that have high incident of roadkill.

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 4>It's really meant to end roadkill.

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so this is your Okay, so the website, Okay,

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 2>this is the website is I think we can mention it.

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll see why we can't end roadkill dot com. Kim

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>is telling me end road kill dot com.

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, my numbers on there. If any talented electronic engineers

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 4>want to join me. I'm also going to try to

0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 4>audition for twenty twenty five season of Shark Tank.

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's awesome that, you know what I mean?

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Look, this is this is a great idea and uh

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>what so what's your background?

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm an engineer mostly mechanics. I build race cars and

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 4>but I'm also an inventor. I have a lot of

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 4>different inventions that require electronics and everything in this already exists.

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 4>No one's ever put it together in a small package

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 4>that will work at the in the middle of the.

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Road, right right, and that's and this can handle like

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 2>cars driving over it and things like that.

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, absolutely, Wow.

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I love It's funny that you mentioned the bot

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.480
<v Speaker 2>because those things I always use that as trivia to

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 2>ask people like, because you know, those are a like

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 2>I never saw those tykeing to California, the bots in

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the road, you know, right, and and so are they

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 2>using them now nationwide?

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know, but California, like.

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 4>They were developed in the sixties by the gentleman who

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 4>it's named after, bot Stops, but he didn't get credit

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 4>for it.

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 5>He died.

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Someone else took it off the shelf and it started

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 4>out as just a round bump in the road that

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 4>was white and it's moved on to become reflectors and

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 4>this is the next stage for it being making a

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 4>smart box stock.

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome.

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, so, I mean, I guess my recommendation would be,

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, hopefully you get on shark tank.

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Good luck with that.

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>But I think the recommendation is to you know, you've

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 2>got to just you sound like a smart guy.

0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>You know what you're doing. So I think you get

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you got to put some.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Posts out there about this, maybe on uh, you know,

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe something like Reddit, like maybe you got to find

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 2>the communities where these people are hanging out. And I

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 2>think the schools is probably the best way to do it.

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 2>So I would start with the schools. See if someone

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 2>you know is willing to help you on this project.

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you have funding for this?

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 4>I do, okay, And I've also reached out to the

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 4>San Jose State University in Silicon Valley to try to

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 4>get one of their engineers to make it a class project.

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so do you do you have one of

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 2>these like ready to go, like a proof of concept

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing.

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 4>It's the size of a shoebox.

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, got it? So somebody to shrink down the tech?

0:16:59.120 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 3>Got it?

0:16:59.480 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Got it?

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm rooting for you. I think this sounds like

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.919
<v Speaker 2>a really neat piece of technology. And I think that

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, uh, we put the website out there, so

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.479
<v Speaker 2>if someone wants to help out there, you go and uh,

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I get in touch with those schools.

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what you need to do. You got to get

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 1>this as a joint project. Thanks for the call. Matthew

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 1>in Sonora, California.

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:27.520
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna talk to Brian Merchant about Chapotle's automation push.

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 2>You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.560

<v Speaker 2>call if you have a question about technology. We'll get

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.239
<v Speaker 2>back to the phone lines in just a moment. But

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.159
<v Speaker 2>first want to welcome Brian Merchant to the show, author

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.199
<v Speaker 2>of Blood in the Machine, to talk about Chipotle and

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing with automation.

0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Brian, welcome to the show.

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.679
<v Speaker 3>Hello, thanks for having me.

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>So, thanks for joining me. Let's tell me about your book.

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 2>First off, Blood in the Machine. What do you discuss

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>and I know you have a sub stack, what do

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 2>you discuss on all these platforms?

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, well, so the Blood in the Machine was a

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 6>book that came out last year. I had written it

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 6>actually before the AI boom was underway, but it really

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:30.640
<v Speaker 6>looks at automation and the way throughout history that that

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 6>that technologies are used to both enhance and replace labor

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 6>and workers, and what happens when there's a situation where

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 6>you know, factory owners or bosses or entrepreneurs, are you

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 6>bring a technology to try to replace a worker or

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 6>a group of workers and there isn't any real set

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.880
<v Speaker 6>of options for those workers with their job is gone.

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 6>So it's it's basically a look at how these forces

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 6>interact over history, starting from the first time this happened

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:13.400
<v Speaker 6>in the Industrial Revolution and then fast boarding until today, well.

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>And today, so you know, it's no secret I cover

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.159
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these companies that are using automation, and

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.640
<v Speaker 2>of course now AI is a big part of it.

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 2>In the past, I've covered robotic machines that make pizza,

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 2>that make jamba juice, you know, automated growing facilities where

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.480
<v Speaker 2>they're growing lettuce. I mean, there's just so many that

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:38.679
<v Speaker 2>I've seen in the past, and now Chipotle, oh the Burger,

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the one that started all was I don't know if you

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 2>remember Flippy the burger flipping robot. Do you remember that one,

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.640
<v Speaker 2>that that was a big one. Oh, I think we've

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 2>lost Brian. Well, this week Chipotle announced that they are

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 2>using an automated system. So they've got one called Autocato.

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 2>This cuts cores and peels avocados for guacamole. And then

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.439
<v Speaker 2>they've got this augmented make line which assembles bulls and

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 2>salads for digital orders. So, Brian, what do you make

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 2>of this news? I mean this, does this just make

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 2>sense that companies are trying to do this or does

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>this have real implications for for actual workers?

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? So, I mean the time will tell. Right.

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 6>You just mentioned Flippy. I think Flippy is already coming gone.

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 6>It's this kind of automation where you're doing a sort

0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.920
<v Speaker 6>of a complex task that a human would usually do

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 6>with their hands, is something that workers have been trying.

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 6>I mean that that that's the tech companies and and

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 6>and corporate bosses have been trying to figure out how

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 6>to do for a long time.

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Amazonal with their goal, like I've said before, their goal

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:50.960
<v Speaker 2>is to not have humans. Basically, like if if a

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 2>company could, they would not want humans.

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 6>That that's that is the end goal of all of

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 6>these I mean they give them cute names they they

0:20:57.960 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 6>call them cobots.

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.640
<v Speaker 3>Like you'll notice in all of the materials.

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 7>About the the the Chipotle robot, they call it a

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.119
<v Speaker 7>cobot because they want to they want to sort of

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.080
<v Speaker 7>present this uh, this front like that they're just you know,

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 7>they're helping workers, and they're going to coexist with the

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 7>with the workers, and it's gonna be a big, shiny future.

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 6>But of course what they really want to do is

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 6>cut out those labor costs.

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Eventually, it's what they.

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 6>Whether you're Uber or whether you're Amazon, or whether you're Chipotle. Uh,

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.640
<v Speaker 6>the future that you want is one where you can

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.159
<v Speaker 6>replace your workforce with robots, so that so that you

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 6>can you know, ostensibly have a you know, a cheaper product,

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 6>a bigger bottom line, and in some cases, you know,

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 6>they think of these robots as more reliable, right, but

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.679
<v Speaker 6>the old adage among the among the bosses is that

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 6>you know, a robot never causing sick, so they would.

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, look, humans are messy. Humans are you know,

0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 2>they're they're people. They're human, like they they call in sick,

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.399
<v Speaker 2>they come in hungover, they're you know, they have a

0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 2>bad day. They don't feel like you know, they put

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 2>two much guacamole in the bowl and they're in they're

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 2>every you know, ounce that's extras costing these companies' money,

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, and they or they pour a drink that's

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, too much vodka in the drink

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 2>or whatever.

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:11.399
<v Speaker 8>You know.

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I've seen robots that do uh, you know, they make drinks.

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's just so I understand why it's the

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.439
<v Speaker 2>goal of these companies to do this, But what's the

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.680
<v Speaker 2>answer do we I mean, do we stop companies from

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 2>doing this or is there going to be a world

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 2>where we just if we continue to march on it's

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 2>humans are.

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Just x out of this whole situation.

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 6>So the first thing I'd say is that that folks

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 6>have been trying to.

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Do this since the beginning of the industrial Revolution.

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 6>You look at those first factories where you know, you

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:44.640
<v Speaker 6>have kind of crude machines that can automate the production

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 6>of cloth or a garment or something, and they barely

0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:51.359
<v Speaker 6>can do it. It's much less high quality than a

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 6>human or a skilled worker can. But you still have

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 6>people at the at that time writing these treatises like, oh,

0:22:58.240 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 6>the end of.

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 3>The human worker is right around the corner. So two

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 3>hundred years.

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 6>Basically we've been hearing these yeah, so that you have

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 6>the they called it, the automaton, we will have we

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 6>will have a factory working as an automaton before you

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 6>know it, and we won't need human workers. Two hundred

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 6>years later, we can see that that's not true. All

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 6>of our factories are still filled with human workers. So,

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 6>needless to say, this is a very hard problem. Even

0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 6>in the last ten years, we've seen so many startups

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:28.600
<v Speaker 6>promise to automate, you know, the these service tasks or

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.640
<v Speaker 6>human labor, or even just the act of picking an

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.560
<v Speaker 6>object off a shelf at an Amazon warehouse. They haven't

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 6>even been able to master that. So keep a big

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 6>old grain of salt handy when you're thinking about all

0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 6>of these claims that the companies are making. So that's

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 6>number one, right, I don't think there's anything that we

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 6>need to worry about in terms of like a human

0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 6>free you know situation with with speculus, service work and

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.120
<v Speaker 6>manual labor in a lot of these cases. Number two

0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 6>is like, we just have to think about what kind

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 6>of a future we do want. What do we want

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 6>humans to do versus robots to do? Right now, there's

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 6>a big struggle between artists and the generative AI companies

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 6>because it's a slightly different context.

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.120
<v Speaker 3>But one thing that AI can do.

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:18.440
<v Speaker 6>Is create sort of regurgitated art that's based on human work.

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 6>Do we want to replace illustrators with this sort of

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 6>regurgitated you know, digital imagery that an AI can can write.

0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:28.879
<v Speaker 6>That is a question we kind of have to answer

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 6>right now. Do we want to protect the artists? Do

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:33.720
<v Speaker 6>we want to protect the act of having an illustrator

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 6>as a job, like, do we want to protect that

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 6>kind of stuff? So a lot of this stuff is

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 6>we're going to have to find out answers and just

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.120
<v Speaker 6>keep that grain of salt handy. When the tech companies

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 6>are promising that they can deliver this human free future.

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Have you I mean, do you think anyone's doing this

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:50.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff right?

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean you have like something like Waimo right like

0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 2>it it's there's cars all over the streets of Los Angeles.

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I even saw them here in Las Vegas where they're

0:24:57.960 --> 0:24:59.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're driving themselves.

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but is it scalable?

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 2>And there's also that the idea of cost, like all

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 2>these companies are trying, like you know, Chipotle's got this

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 2>in two restaurants or something, but you know, to roll

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:11.159
<v Speaker 2>it out to seven thousand restaurants that they want to

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 2>have in North America.

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Like that, the cost is probably so expensive.

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, the cost is high, and there's gonna be a

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 6>lot of maintenance issues. There's gonna be a lot of

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 6>complications that they're not foreseeing right now, and they may

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 6>well just decide that it's cheaper to have a human

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.479
<v Speaker 6>do this task again, Right, That's all that as far

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:31.680
<v Speaker 6>as the company is concerned, especially for stuff that's taking

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:35.880
<v Speaker 6>place in the back rooms, preparing the food, preparing a process.

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:38.679
<v Speaker 6>If if a human can wind up doing it cheaper,

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 6>then then they're just gonna have a human doing They're

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:43.760
<v Speaker 6>gonna they're gonna sort of cancel the experiment.

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see there.

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 6>With waime O, it's another case where I'd say, you know,

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.679
<v Speaker 6>it seems like they're driving themselves, but we know that

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 6>every time they're faced with a tough decision that gets

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:59.200
<v Speaker 6>a little flag to the command center, there's people who

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 6>are real people who are sitting sort of watching these

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 6>cars and they have to make what's called an intervention.

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's a if it detects us, is that

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 6>a squirrel on the road. Can I keep driving or

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.680
<v Speaker 6>is that just a bump? It'll send a little notification

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 6>to somebody in Scottsdale, Arizona, who's watching four or five

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 6>of these cars at a given time, and it'll they'll

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 6>have to take over and make the call. So there

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 6>is still somebody driving the car right in a sense,

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 6>they're just the driver has been moved from the driver's

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.240
<v Speaker 6>seat to a sort of a command center at an

0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.159
<v Speaker 6>off site location. And that's happening with the delivery robots

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:34.359
<v Speaker 6>you've probably seen crawling around LA. These are not fully

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.400
<v Speaker 6>autonomous systems. There's always a person still in the loop

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 6>because there has to be. It's too it's too messy,

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 6>as you said, and too complicated and too potentially dangerous

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 6>or cost producing to the company to not have that

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:52.919
<v Speaker 6>human still watching them. If and when we finally, you know,

0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 6>do have a self driving car that is properly self

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 6>driving and is not having a number of interventions every minute.

0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 6>By the way, we saw when the Cruise car crashed

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.800
<v Speaker 6>in San Francisco and hit a pedestrian and they were

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:07.400
<v Speaker 6>forced to sort of turn over their logs that it

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 6>was multiple times almost every minute that a human was

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 6>brought into the loop to tell it what to do.

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 6>So there is still a person involved in that, and

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:17.439
<v Speaker 6>there's still going to be a person looking at this

0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.639
<v Speaker 6>autocado thing in the Chipotle background saying like, is this

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 6>doing a good enough job?

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Do I have to fix it?

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 6>So we just can't ever dismiss the amount of human

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 6>labor still required to make all these automated or so

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 6>called automated systems work.

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I like the positivity because as grim as it seems

0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:39.440
<v Speaker 2>as a future for humans with all this speak of automation,

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:42.479
<v Speaker 2>you're right, I mean, every one of these systems, at

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, still relies on humans. And

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 2>by the way, it's a lot easier to teach a

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:48.359
<v Speaker 2>human to grab something off a shelf than it is

0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:49.439
<v Speaker 2>to program a robot.

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Right now, I get it.

0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 2>With AI and all this stuff, maybe it'll get easier,

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 2>but it's just so funny how you can literally teach

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.679
<v Speaker 2>anyone to do that in about ten seconds versus all

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the programming in lines it takes to program I'm a robot.

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:03.960
<v Speaker 3>And that's what it is at the end of the day.

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.199
<v Speaker 6>And not to say this isn't grim, because what the

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 6>companies are gonna do is they're gonna they're gonna sell

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.399
<v Speaker 6>the automation. They're gonna sell the fact that hey, this

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.239
<v Speaker 6>can be cheaper, this should be cheaper. And companies are

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 6>still going to buy into that sales pitch, and they're

0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:20.240
<v Speaker 6>going to layoff workers. They're going to assign more work

0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 6>to people who are currently uh you know, having a

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 6>job that might you know, be potentially uh abetted by automation.

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 6>And in a lot of cases, what we see is

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:34.880
<v Speaker 6>that firms will go ahead and lay off workers, layoff

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 6>service staff, and then the people who are remaining will

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 6>be left with even more work.

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 3>And the companies, oh yeah, yeah, So.

0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna leave it there, Brian, We're gonna leave it there.

0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:48.560

<v Speaker 2>Just leave the kids at home, come to Las Vegas

<v Speaker 2>and have a good time. It's it's like people just

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is about Las Vegas, but

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 2>people are just I don't know if i'd consider them

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.920
<v Speaker 2>their best selves here or living their best lives, but

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>they are definitely living an interesting life. They just go

0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 2>all out. Denise writes in on the website. Hey, I

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 2>was listening to the show. I heard the guy about

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:57.920
<v Speaker 2>his invention regarding bots dots. He could try putting an

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 2>ad on Craigslist in the gigs CA category. There are

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 2>lots of those types of ads, and they seem to

0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 2>get responses because they are not on there for long.

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Just to thought, have a great day, Denise. Denise, that's

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 2>a great idea. Craigslist always a good good place for

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.360
<v Speaker 2>things like that. Any kind of community, you know, any

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 2>type play like a form or something like that. Eighty

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 2>eight rich one oh one Mike in Irvine, Line three,

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Mike in Irvine, Welcome to the show.

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 9>Oh, thanks, Rich. I appreciate the information on the new

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 9>iOS eighteen.

0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 4>But you said it has the ability to.

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:37.440
<v Speaker 9>Hide apps, which as an adult for financial records like

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.760
<v Speaker 9>you mentioned, makes sense. But what about as a parent

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 9>of teens. Is there any type of print of controls

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 9>or overrides for that sort of.

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 10>System.

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, great question, because you know the teenagers are going

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 2>to really take advantage of this, and in many times

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 2>they know more about their phones than we do. And

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I think in the past they've already had with of

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 2>hiding apps, like with sneaky little shortcuts and things like

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 2>that where they can change the icon or you know,

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 2>my kids would put them like in a folder like

0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 2>buried Deep, so you wouldn't see what.

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 1>They have in there.

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 2>But according to Apple, children under thirteen in family sharing,

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 2>So this is the main thing, is that you have

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to put your kids in your family sharing with Apple ID.

0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 2>If they have their own Apple ID, they could basically

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 2>do whatever they want. So put them in a family

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.960
<v Speaker 2>sharing group if they're under thirteen, and of course you've

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 2>signed them up with the proper age on their phone

0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 2>in their account they cannot lock or hide apps. So again,

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 2>kids under thirteen in a family sharing group cannot hide

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 2>or lock.

0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Apps in iOS eighteen.

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Now, if they are thirteen to seventeen and they're in

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 2>a family group, they can lock or hide an app,

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 2>but a parent or guardian in the family group can

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 2>see the app was downloaded, how much time it's being used,

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 2>and restrict access to it using screen time. So what

0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 2>they're saying there is that under thirteen can't hide her lock.

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Thirteen to seventeen they can hide er lock their apps.

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 2>But when you go on to their list of apps

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 2>that was downloaded, you can see in the list of

0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 2>like if they're using it a lot, you'll see it

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 2>at the top of.

0:32:13.760 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>The list of screen time apps.

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 2>You can also block that app completely using screen time,

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 2>so you can say that app is not allowed. Now, personally,

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 2>if I was Apple and i think I'm getting a

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of questions about this, I've already seen a bunch

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 2>of people asking about this, I think that Apple should

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 2>straight up make a toggle in screen time. No matter

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 2>what age the kid is, parents need to have the

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 2>ability to turn off this feature. Why do kids need

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 2>to lock or hide apps they're in your house. They

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 2>are a kid, they are under your supervision. They should

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:48.400
<v Speaker 2>not be able to hide her lock apps. Now, maybe

0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>there are some reasons for this. I'm trying to think. Obviously,

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of every single situation that's known to mankind.

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And sure there may be an app that you know,

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 2>teenager doesn't want their friends seeing on their on their

0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 2>phone or something like that or their iPad. So yes,

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure maybe there are some things. But again, maybe

0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 2>parents should have that option of being able to allow

0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 2>this or not allow it. So my great question, uh,

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 2>get those kids inside the family sharing and you have

0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:17.840
<v Speaker 2>the control. But we all know that screen time can

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 2>be very, very complicated in general, and kids know how

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to use this stuff way better than a lot of

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 2>their parents. So it is going to be tricky and

0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 2>it's going to cause some issues. And I think this, uh,

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 2>this locking apps is going to cause issues in a

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of ways. You know, it's not just the kids

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:32.920
<v Speaker 2>that are doing this. I think it's going to be

0:33:32.960 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the adults as well. You know, people

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 2>might be hiding apps that they don't want their spouses

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:41.600
<v Speaker 2>to see or something like that. So again, there are

0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 2>useful features and that's why Apple came out with this,

0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 2>but they're you know, no matter what, anytime there's a

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 2>useful feature for something, people are going to find a

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:50.160
<v Speaker 2>more evil use of it as well.

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to.

0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Kevin online one Kevin, I only got two minutes, So

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Kevin and San Clementy, can you get your.

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Question in quick?

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 5>I'll make you real quick. It's a two questions, but

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:06.840
<v Speaker 5>related these guys showing up on my Facebook. But how

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:09.360
<v Speaker 5>to turn off certain things on your computer?

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Ie, if you do you.

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:13.759
<v Speaker 5>Know X y Z, type in you know this, that

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 5>and that or the other and it shows you what

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 5>to turn off so you're not trapped on your computer.

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 5>So my question is are those legit? And then related

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 5>to that, also some of these softwares and I don't

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:26.560
<v Speaker 5>know if I can give a couple of the names

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 5>that came through PC magazine that clean out all your

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 5>computer information and people that have access to you and

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:36.959
<v Speaker 5>you know, some say they you know, track two hundred

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 5>companies that follow you, five hundred companies that follow you.

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, great question.

0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:44.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:46.839
<v Speaker 2>So first off, on the first question, I'd be very

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 2>careful with with you know, following some of these instructions,

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:53.000
<v Speaker 2>especially if you're getting into settings that you don't understand.

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:55.959
<v Speaker 2>So anytime you're doing something you don't understand, I would

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 2>be careful because you can change something that might mess

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:01.279
<v Speaker 2>up your computer or your or whatever. I see all

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:03.880
<v Speaker 2>these things like about how to access secret codes on

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 2>your phone to do things and stuff like that. If

0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:08.440
<v Speaker 2>you don't understand that, I don't think you should be

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 2>doing that. When it comes to tracking, uh, these there's

0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 2>there's millions of data broke. There's many many data brokers

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 2>out there that have information about us. Consumer reports found

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 2>that most of those data removal sites that you pay

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:24.480
<v Speaker 2>for don't really work very well and they're not worth

0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the money. The two that they liked are called easy

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:31.480
<v Speaker 2>opt outs and opt e O P T E R Y.

0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I've tested one of these. I tested Mozilla.

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 2>They had one, and yeah, it does remove stuff, and

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 2>yes it'll work. It's gonna cost you though usually these

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:41.400
<v Speaker 2>things cost anywhere. You know, twenty dollars a month is

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:42.680
<v Speaker 2>about the main price.

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So you can do it.

0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:47.160
<v Speaker 2>But I'd be much more concerned about my information out

0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:50.479
<v Speaker 2>there on the dark web and instead of on these

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:54.520

<v Speaker 2>Shaboozie Tipsy played it, played it at the Iheartfestival. We

0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 1>It was great.

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Just came out and sang this and went back in.

0:36:22.440 --> 0:36:25.000
<v Speaker 2>It was you know, this is what people wanted to hear,

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:28.799

<v Speaker 2>you can hit the light bulb icon for a link

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 2>to anything I mentioned here. You can hit contact if

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:47.359
<v Speaker 2>you want to send me a message. You can also,

0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 2>of course, go on X, which is what Nicholas did.

0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Nicholas said, everyone, hey, rich everyone with a modern Android

0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:57.600
<v Speaker 2>phone is laughing about all of these quote unquote new

0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Apple updates. Apple always seem delayed by a couple of years.

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Love the show, you know, Nicholas, I it's so interesting.

0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:09.640
<v Speaker 2>I understand that sentiment and I totally get it, like

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:12.760
<v Speaker 2>there's been this kind of back and forth for years

0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 2>about Android versus iPhone, iPhone versus Android, and believe me,

0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:20.879
<v Speaker 2>I really love both platforms for different reasons. I think

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 2>that the difference is, like, let's say someone like Samsung,

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:27.080
<v Speaker 2>They're always putting new features out right, like years years

0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 2>in advance, and then eventually those features typically make their

0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:33.440
<v Speaker 2>way to the iPhone. I think the difference is what

0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:35.399
<v Speaker 2>Apple does is they try to add like their own

0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 2>little Apple magic to things. And for something like the

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:43.240
<v Speaker 2>iPhone sixteen, you know, models and all of the iOS

0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.799
<v Speaker 2>eighteen stuff, like yeah, moving an app wherever you want

0:37:45.840 --> 0:37:48.239
<v Speaker 2>on the screen, But like there are certain things that

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:51.319
<v Speaker 2>like Apple just makes simple and easy compared to some

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 2>of the Android stuff. So I think it just depends

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:56.920
<v Speaker 2>on the audience and who's using it. But to iPhone users,

0:37:56.960 --> 0:37:59.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot of this stuff is new. But Android users

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.640
<v Speaker 2>definitely love giving their iPhone users a hard time, that's

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:04.239
<v Speaker 2>for sure, and that's fun. I mean, I hope that

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 2>doesn't go away ever, because I love My wife is

0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 2>so sick of hearing me talk about what I like

0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:12.200
<v Speaker 2>about iPhone versus Android and vice versa, because she hears

0:38:12.239 --> 0:38:14.839
<v Speaker 2>it all the time because I'm always testing both, Uh,

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 2>let's go to line four Tony in the Inland Empire.

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Tony Line four, you're on with Rich.

0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:24.839
<v Speaker 11>Hi, Rich, thank you for taking my call.

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, thanks for listening today and calling in.

0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>What can I help you with? Yes?

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:33.480
<v Speaker 11>Yes, I was wondering is there any way I can

0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:37.759
<v Speaker 11>remove myself from a large texting group. I did not

0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:41.399
<v Speaker 11>sign up for it, don't know how I got on it.

0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 11>And it does include I have an iPhone, it does

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:48.840
<v Speaker 11>include iPhones and Android. The back and forth within the

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 11>texting group is becoming it's ridiculous.

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Can I real annoying? Okay? So have you updated to

0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:57.080
<v Speaker 1>iOS eighteen?

0:38:58.040 --> 0:38:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So if you tap the message, this looks like

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:04.840
<v Speaker 2>a brand new feature in iOS eighteen. Because I was

0:39:04.920 --> 0:39:07.760
<v Speaker 2>just checking this out, this has been a known issue.

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can easily leave I Message conversations right

0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:12.720
<v Speaker 2>because they you know, everyone's on I Message.

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Apple can handle it. It's very simple.

0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:19.279
<v Speaker 2>But when you get the mixture of I Message and Android,

0:39:19.480 --> 0:39:21.239
<v Speaker 2>you know whether people that are not using it, you

0:39:21.280 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 2>see the green bubbles, and it's just it's a whole

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:26.960
<v Speaker 2>different ballgame because now you're talking about just regular phone numbers,

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.360
<v Speaker 2>and it's tough for Apple to just sort of remove

0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 2>you from that because anyone can text you anytime, right,

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and so this is where it becomes an issue. But

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:38.080
<v Speaker 2>it looks like in iOS eighteen in the messages. If

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you go into the message up at the top where

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 2>it says how many people are in the message, I've

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.319
<v Speaker 2>got this message where it says two people, there's a

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:48.600
<v Speaker 2>new option that says delete and block this conversation.

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you see that? Okay?

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 11>Do I go into the actual text and group itself?

0:39:56.640 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Correct?

0:39:57.040 --> 0:40:00.239
<v Speaker 2>So open up your messages app, tap into that messa

0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and then up at the top you'll see it usually

0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 2>has like a couple icons of people's heads up there

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:09.560
<v Speaker 2>or whatever like profile faces. So you tap where it

0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 2>says how many people are in there where it says

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:14.719
<v Speaker 2>two people, and then you tap there and you'll see

0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:16.840
<v Speaker 2>all the info about this group chap.

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:17.759
<v Speaker 1>It'll tell you.

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Who's in it and give you some some options.

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever seen this screen?

0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:27.080
<v Speaker 11>Okay, well I'm not sure I'm in it now where

0:40:27.120 --> 0:40:30.840
<v Speaker 11>it's listing all or long lists of people within this group.

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:34.000
<v Speaker 2>That where it could be Yep, that's where you should be.

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Now when you go in there, do you scroll down?

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you see something that says, delete and block this conversation. Yes, okay,

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 2>so tap that and that should take care of it.

0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 11>Okay, So that'll totally remove me out of the group itself.

0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Is that correct?

0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, so it's going to see it can't be removed

0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:56.480
<v Speaker 2>from the group because the persons set up just as

0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:58.799
<v Speaker 2>it's tougher than that, because it's not like living on

0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:01.439
<v Speaker 2>a server somewhere. Just started a thread with a whole

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 2>bunch of people in it, and if that person texts again,

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:07.040
<v Speaker 2>you're still gonna be included. Your phone is just not

0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna show you that anymore. Does that make more sense?

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:11.240
<v Speaker 11>Okay?

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:11.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 11>So it's not like where you can silence the group

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:18.040
<v Speaker 11>or the text in itself and you'll still see the messages.

0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:20.759
<v Speaker 11>Business stand that it won't actually come to me.

0:41:21.520 --> 0:41:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's not even gonna show up on your list

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:24.440
<v Speaker 1>of messages anymore.

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:25.640
<v Speaker 12>Okay.

0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the idea. So try that, see if it works.

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:32.400
<v Speaker 2>If it doesn't, give me a call back, okay, okay,

0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:35.640
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it, Thank you so much, all right, Tony, really

0:41:35.680 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you. How's the how's the weather out there in

0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the in the Inmblem Empire today?

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh, she's gone Okay, reminds, Okay, let's talk about Amazon

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Amazon Prime Day. Doesn't it feel like Amazon does a

0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Prime Day like every day?

0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:51.080
<v Speaker 12>Now?

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:51.920
<v Speaker 1>What is up with this?

0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:55.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like they're gonna They're gonna dilute this. Uh this

0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:57.759
<v Speaker 2>excitement over Prime Day? Is there any excitement? I think

0:41:57.800 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 2>it's I think the last Prime Day we had was

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 2>that actually very good. I think that Apple did our

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:05.120
<v Speaker 2>See we talk so much about Apple, Rich.

0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 1>You're such an Apple fanboy. All you do is talk

0:42:06.920 --> 0:42:08.200
<v Speaker 1>about Apple, Apple, Apple, Apple.

0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:15.200
<v Speaker 2>So Amazon they announced the Big Deal Okay, Prime Big

0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Deal Days, that's what it's called this year October eighth

0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 2>through ninth. And this will start on October eighth run

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:25.040
<v Speaker 2>through October ninth. And what are they promising? More of

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:28.359
<v Speaker 2>the same millions of deals for their Prime members. Yes,

0:42:28.960 --> 0:42:33.120
<v Speaker 2>winter fashions, Halloween costumes, electronics, and everyday essentials. New deals

0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:37.120
<v Speaker 2>will drop as much as every five minutes. Then they've

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:40.520
<v Speaker 2>got Rufus, Amazon's AI shopping assistant. They want you to

0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:43.480
<v Speaker 2>try that out. It can help you with recommendations. Now

0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 2>tell me this. Do you think Rufus, Amazon's AI shopping

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:50.360
<v Speaker 2>assistant whatever advise you against buying something?

0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Hey, rufus. Should I buy this?

0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:55.479
<v Speaker 2>Let me check my status, let me check my sources. Yes,

0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:59.160
<v Speaker 2>you should spend your money with Amazon. I mean, I

0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:00.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know if that's a look.

0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:02.920
<v Speaker 2>They have they have this program to kind of help

0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you compare products and things like that. But I just

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:08.000
<v Speaker 2>find it ironic that you're taking advice from a shopping

0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:10.280
<v Speaker 2>assistant from the place that wants to sell you something.

0:43:10.360 --> 0:43:13.480
<v Speaker 2>That's like asking the person at the you know, the mall,

0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:14.640
<v Speaker 2>should I buy this?

0:43:14.840 --> 0:43:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Is this cool? Is this great? Yeah? Of course they're

0:43:16.800 --> 0:43:18.000
<v Speaker 1>going to tell you to buy it. They're there to

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:18.520
<v Speaker 1>sell it to you.

0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Early deals right now on Amazon Music Unlimited, so if

0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:25.440
<v Speaker 2>you haven't tried that out, they've got like four months

0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:28.160
<v Speaker 2>free of that. I saw Audible, couple months free there,

0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Kindle unlimited, grub Hub plus. Those are deals you can

0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:33.520
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of right now. I talked about that in

0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:35.440
<v Speaker 2>my newsletter this week. So if you want to get that,

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:37.359
<v Speaker 2>just go to Rich on tech dot tv. You can

0:43:37.400 --> 0:43:40.239
<v Speaker 2>see it on the homepage. Prime Membership, don't forget. You

0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:42.040
<v Speaker 2>do have to be a Prime member to take advantage

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:44.960
<v Speaker 2>of Prime Day fifteen dollars per month or one hundred

0:43:45.000 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 2>and thirty nine dollars for the year. My advice for

0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Prime Day, same advice I give every single year. I

0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 2>sound like a broken record. Put the stuff that you

0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:57.560
<v Speaker 2>want in your cart now and that way, or save

0:43:57.600 --> 0:43:58.120
<v Speaker 2>it for later.

0:43:58.200 --> 0:43:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Whatever you know.

0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Amazon gives you like an and ability to save stuff

0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:03.319
<v Speaker 2>for later. Put it in your cart or save it

0:44:03.360 --> 0:44:07.360
<v Speaker 2>for later, and then when these deal day hits on

0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:10.000
<v Speaker 2>October eighth and ninth, or even leading up to it,

0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you can see if the price drops on any of

0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:16.279
<v Speaker 2>the things that you actually want. And that is the

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:17.879
<v Speaker 2>best way to do it. That is the way I've

0:44:17.880 --> 0:44:20.399
<v Speaker 2>been doing it for years. And it just comes down

0:44:20.400 --> 0:44:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to you wake up that morning October eighth, instead of

0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:26.239
<v Speaker 2>searching for stuff to spend your money on, you just

0:44:26.280 --> 0:44:28.720
<v Speaker 2>go through your cart and you say, oh that okay,

0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 2>And there's usually like a little banner that says Prime

0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Day or deal or deal drop or price drop, and

0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:36.799
<v Speaker 2>that way you can quickly and instantly spot when these

0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:38.799
<v Speaker 2>things go on sale. So that is my advice. The

0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:41.920
<v Speaker 2>other thing I really like is a service from Honey

0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:45.239
<v Speaker 2>called drop List. So if you look, if you go

0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to honey, Honey is sort of a browsing helper. It

0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 2>gives you the coupon codes, but they have a feature

0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:55.800
<v Speaker 2>called drop list. So once you add this Honey Extensions

0:44:55.840 --> 0:44:57.399
<v Speaker 2>from PayPal now they bought them.

0:44:57.920 --> 0:45:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Once you add this to your Chrome browser, web browser

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:03.960
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, anything that you put in your shopping cart

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:06.680
<v Speaker 1>or your list on Amazon, they will track the price

0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:09.440
<v Speaker 1>and actually send you an email when that price drops.

0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:13.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's not always perfect, but it does really really help.

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:16.520
<v Speaker 2>All Right, let's see. Okay, you know what I was

0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna do an Apple story.

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:17.879
<v Speaker 3>I won't.

0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll do Instagram.

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Instagram this week launched some enhanced safety features for teen accounts. Now,

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 2>if you've listened to this show, you know that I

0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:30.600
<v Speaker 2>think that all of these social media networks are just

0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:35.680
<v Speaker 2>almost borderline pure evil for teenagers because they don't need

0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:37.440
<v Speaker 2>to be on these things like why do you need

0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:40.200
<v Speaker 2>to be comparing yourself as a seventeen year old to

0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:43.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, the most beautiful people that you're scrolling through

0:45:43.239 --> 0:45:45.600
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram? You know, these models and things like that.

0:45:45.640 --> 0:45:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I get it, we get it from TV and all

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:50.480
<v Speaker 2>that stuff, but like on these social media networks, we

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:56.320
<v Speaker 2>know that it causes depression, anxiety, distractions, shorter attention spans.

0:45:56.320 --> 0:45:58.399
<v Speaker 2>It's like keep these kids off of these things as

0:45:58.440 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 2>long as humanly possible. With that said, we know that

0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 2>kids want to be on them because their friends are

0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:05.799
<v Speaker 2>on them, and in fact, a lot of kids, you know,

0:46:05.880 --> 0:46:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the people make businesses on them and become influencers.

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:11.400
<v Speaker 1>But now, by default.

0:46:11.160 --> 0:46:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Under eighteen, Instagram is instituting some things like accounts will

0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 2>be private by default, messaging will be restricted to just

0:46:19.080 --> 0:46:22.239
<v Speaker 2>your followers. They're gonna have content filters so that kids

0:46:22.280 --> 0:46:27.080
<v Speaker 2>aren't seeing stuff like fight videos and cosmetic procedures. Tagging

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:29.919
<v Speaker 2>and mentions are gonna be limited. There's a sixty minute

0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:30.840
<v Speaker 2>daily time limit.

0:46:31.000 --> 0:46:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Reminder. They don't stop you after sixty minutes.

0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:34.880
<v Speaker 2>They just say, hey, it's a good idea to get

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:37.359
<v Speaker 2>off of this app, and then sleep mode from ten

0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:41.280
<v Speaker 2>pm to seven am. And parents will need to approve

0:46:41.320 --> 0:46:45.280
<v Speaker 2>any changes to these automatic restrictions. And you might be saying,

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:48.040
<v Speaker 2>rich kids are just gonna lie about the age when

0:46:48.080 --> 0:46:49.560
<v Speaker 2>they sign up for Instagram.

0:46:49.640 --> 0:46:50.239
<v Speaker 1>Yes they are.

0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:54.240
<v Speaker 2>But Instagram is fighting back against that with a whole

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:57.480
<v Speaker 2>bunch of ways, especially using AI to figure out if

0:46:57.480 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 2>this person signing up is actually under a eighteen. They

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:03.600
<v Speaker 2>will sniff them out and they will make sure that

0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:06.480
<v Speaker 2>they are included in this, so it's a start. I'm

0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:08.719
<v Speaker 2>not saying Instagram is perfect for doing this, but I

0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:12.840
<v Speaker 2>do think it's better than nothing. Eight eight eight rich

0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:57.759
<v Speaker 2>two day festival that I'm just here for just for fun.

0:47:58.000 --> 0:48:00.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of nice.

<v Speaker 2>When you, you know, work for iHeart and are able

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.160
<v Speaker 2>to come to these kind of things. And du A

0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Lipa last last night you just heard her there stole

0:48:09.160 --> 0:48:11.719
<v Speaker 2>the show. I mean, my wife and I were not

0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:15.080
<v Speaker 2>really like big Dual Liapa fans, and then we watched

0:48:15.120 --> 0:48:21.279
<v Speaker 2>her perform and I just unbelievable, really really just great show.

0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:23.759
<v Speaker 2>And each person performs a couple of songs. Maybe you

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:26.960
<v Speaker 2>know some of their best songs, but she just really

0:48:27.200 --> 0:48:29.759
<v Speaker 2>closed out the show and did a really, really nice job.

0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 2>So we're now new fans, and I guess that's the

0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:34.640
<v Speaker 2>point of it, right, You're exposed to some artists that

0:48:34.680 --> 0:48:36.920
<v Speaker 2>you may not be totally familiar with. I mean, I

0:48:36.960 --> 0:48:40.799
<v Speaker 2>knew du Liipa, But anyway, eighty and eight rich one

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:43.839
<v Speaker 2>on one eight eight eight seven four to two four

0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:46.960
<v Speaker 2>one zero one. I said I wasn't gonna do another

0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Apple story, but I have to because if you live

0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:52.080
<v Speaker 2>in California, you can now put your state ID or

0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:57.240
<v Speaker 2>your driver's license in Apple wallets, so California driver's license

0:48:57.239 --> 0:48:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and state.

0:48:57.600 --> 0:48:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Id's can be added.

0:48:59.160 --> 0:49:04.000
<v Speaker 2>This is part of Calilifornia DMV's MDL pilot program. Apparently

0:49:04.000 --> 0:49:06.800
<v Speaker 2>it's limited to like one and a half million people.

0:49:06.840 --> 0:49:08.799
<v Speaker 2>But I have now put my driver's license in like

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:11.239
<v Speaker 2>three different phones. So I don't know if I'm taking

0:49:11.280 --> 0:49:13.080
<v Speaker 2>up three spots or they're just letting a lot of

0:49:13.080 --> 0:49:16.319
<v Speaker 2>people do this or what. But if you have a

0:49:16.360 --> 0:49:19.680
<v Speaker 2>California driver's license, you can add it to your Apple wallet.

0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:22.280
<v Speaker 2>So people are a little confused about this, but basically

0:49:22.360 --> 0:49:25.200
<v Speaker 2>you open up Apple Wallet to do this. You don't

0:49:25.200 --> 0:49:27.880
<v Speaker 2>have to download any separate app to your phone. So

0:49:28.080 --> 0:49:31.000
<v Speaker 2>on your phone, just type in wallet and you'll see

0:49:31.000 --> 0:49:33.839
<v Speaker 2>where you can press the plus sign and it says

0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:37.319
<v Speaker 2>driver's license or state ID. You tap there right now,

0:49:37.320 --> 0:49:43.120
<v Speaker 2>you've got Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, and Ohio

0:49:43.280 --> 0:49:46.720
<v Speaker 2>are all part of this. And so you basically scan

0:49:46.920 --> 0:49:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the front and back of your driver's license and then

0:49:49.440 --> 0:49:52.040
<v Speaker 2>you take a whole bunch of pictures of yourself like selfies.

0:49:52.440 --> 0:49:54.240
<v Speaker 2>And no, you don't have to be like all posing

0:49:54.280 --> 0:49:56.239
<v Speaker 2>and making the duck lips or whatever they call that.

0:49:56.280 --> 0:49:58.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, you just sit there and they're making sure

0:49:58.440 --> 0:50:00.799
<v Speaker 2>that you're actually a human, right, so they want to

0:50:00.800 --> 0:50:02.800
<v Speaker 2>make sure you're moving. They say, like blink your eyes.

0:50:03.560 --> 0:50:05.800
<v Speaker 2>I had to like open my mouth or like smile

0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:09.000
<v Speaker 2>or something. But yeah, and then they send it all

0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:11.719
<v Speaker 2>off and verify it, and next thing you know, you

0:50:11.760 --> 0:50:14.200
<v Speaker 2>get a little notification this says, hey, your driver's license

0:50:14.280 --> 0:50:16.719
<v Speaker 2>is ready, and it took like literally a minute for

0:50:16.800 --> 0:50:19.400
<v Speaker 2>mine to be approved. So if you want to have

0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:21.560
<v Speaker 2>your driver's license on your phone, do it. But here's

0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:27.359
<v Speaker 2>the deal. Good luck using it. Anywhere you can't. There's

0:50:28.080 --> 0:50:30.680
<v Speaker 2>so I did use it last time at the TSA checkpoint.

0:50:30.719 --> 0:50:32.799
<v Speaker 2>That's basically the only place that you can use it

0:50:32.840 --> 0:50:35.240
<v Speaker 2>at this point. So if you're flying, but you cannot

0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:37.840
<v Speaker 2>use this for a police officer. It does not replace

0:50:37.880 --> 0:50:42.360
<v Speaker 2>your ID in any way. And it's almost like comical

0:50:42.400 --> 0:50:44.480
<v Speaker 2>why we're doing this, And I get it, it's a start,

0:50:44.880 --> 0:50:46.480
<v Speaker 2>but it's just kind of funny that you have this

0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:48.200
<v Speaker 2>thing and it's so great, and it's like we're all

0:50:48.239 --> 0:50:50.399
<v Speaker 2>on board, but you can't actually.

0:50:50.200 --> 0:50:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Use it anywhere.

0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's gonna accept this except the TSA, and I'll tell

0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:56.359
<v Speaker 2>you what my experience was there. So I said, hey,

0:50:56.400 --> 0:50:58.680
<v Speaker 2>do you take the new digital driver's license on my phone?

0:50:58.880 --> 0:51:01.040
<v Speaker 2>And they said yeah, sure, you got to stand over

0:51:01.080 --> 0:51:03.160
<v Speaker 2>there and go talk to that person. So I go

0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:05.360
<v Speaker 2>over there and the guy says, nah, the machine's not

0:51:05.440 --> 0:51:07.520
<v Speaker 2>on for that. I said, well, can we turn it

0:51:07.560 --> 0:51:09.359
<v Speaker 2>on because I'd really like to try this. I kind

0:51:09.360 --> 0:51:11.200
<v Speaker 2>of cover technology for a living and I'd like to

0:51:11.280 --> 0:51:13.440
<v Speaker 2>see if this works. And he, you know, kind of

0:51:13.440 --> 0:51:16.320
<v Speaker 2>grumbled a little bit. He said, sure, okay, scan it below.

0:51:16.640 --> 0:51:18.319
<v Speaker 2>I said, no, I think I tap it to the

0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:21.640
<v Speaker 2>to the reader because it's NFC and he goes, Nope,

0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you scan it. I said, okay, I don't think you

0:51:23.719 --> 0:51:26.320
<v Speaker 2>scan it, and so I just tapped it anyway without

0:51:26.360 --> 0:51:29.120
<v Speaker 2>them looking, and you know, the guy was like kind

0:51:29.160 --> 0:51:30.960
<v Speaker 2>of talking to someone else and I tapped it and

0:51:31.040 --> 0:51:31.560
<v Speaker 2>it worked.

0:51:31.800 --> 0:51:32.840
<v Speaker 1>He's like, all right, that worked.

0:51:33.080 --> 0:51:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, I know it's you're supposed to tap,

0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:38.440
<v Speaker 2>but anyway, maybe there is a scan QR code something

0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:40.680
<v Speaker 2>like that, but yes, you're supposed to tap anyway. The

0:51:40.719 --> 0:51:43.239
<v Speaker 2>beauty of these things of the driver's license. I get

0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 2>that it's weird and it's scary that we're doing, you know,

0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:48.480
<v Speaker 2>away with a physical license, but it's actually much more

0:51:48.520 --> 0:51:51.680
<v Speaker 2>secure because what happens is a lot of times, let's

0:51:51.680 --> 0:51:54.000
<v Speaker 2>say you're buying booze right at a at a store

0:51:55.040 --> 0:51:57.440
<v Speaker 2>right now, the clerk they look at your physical ID

0:51:58.040 --> 0:52:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and they see your name, they see your address, they

0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:02.960
<v Speaker 2>see your data birth, and they look at your picture

0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 2>they match it up against your face. The way that

0:52:05.080 --> 0:52:09.319
<v Speaker 2>this new system works is it only exchanges the information

0:52:09.480 --> 0:52:12.440
<v Speaker 2>it needs to exchange, and it's really not even the information.

0:52:12.520 --> 0:52:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So it's not transmitting to the grocery store your name, address,

0:52:17.600 --> 0:52:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and your data birth and verifying that it's actually just

0:52:21.440 --> 0:52:25.200
<v Speaker 2>transmitting a verification that says you are over twenty one.

0:52:25.760 --> 0:52:28.799
<v Speaker 2>So that's hard coded into this app using algorithms and

0:52:28.880 --> 0:52:32.120
<v Speaker 2>encryption and all this stuff that they've some very smart

0:52:32.120 --> 0:52:35.880
<v Speaker 2>people have figured out, like let's only transmit the information

0:52:35.960 --> 0:52:38.719
<v Speaker 2>that is necessary, and if that information doesn't need to

0:52:38.719 --> 0:52:41.440
<v Speaker 2>be transmitted, like if target doesn't need to store your

0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:44.960
<v Speaker 2>data birth for that transaction, it will just literally transmit

0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:48.640
<v Speaker 2>yes or no to approve that transaction. So it's a

0:52:48.719 --> 0:52:52.160
<v Speaker 2>small but kind of meaningful thing where I actually think

0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:55.040
<v Speaker 2>this is very private and done in a really interesting

0:52:55.880 --> 0:52:58.680
<v Speaker 2>future kind of forward thinking way where less of our

0:52:58.719 --> 0:53:01.720
<v Speaker 2>personal information is just out there for everyone to see.

0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Like why is this sixteen year old at the place

0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:06.759
<v Speaker 2>that's checking my ID? Well, maybe they're not sixteen if

0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:08.640
<v Speaker 2>they're checking my ID, but you know what I mean, Like,

0:53:08.640 --> 0:53:10.520
<v Speaker 2>why is that person need to see all of my

0:53:10.600 --> 0:53:14.560
<v Speaker 2>personal information? They don't anyway. This is also available for

0:53:14.640 --> 0:53:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Android wallet as well. Android happened a few weeks ago,

0:53:17.920 --> 0:53:20.200
<v Speaker 2>So if you want to put your driver's license, just

0:53:20.280 --> 0:53:22.000
<v Speaker 2>open up the wallet app on your phone and see

0:53:22.000 --> 0:53:23.400
<v Speaker 2>if you're in one of the states that has it.

0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:25.480
<v Speaker 2>You can't use it in too many places, but it's

0:53:25.560 --> 0:53:27.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of cool to be on that cutting edge. Eighty

0:54:10.120 --> 0:54:14.319
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, well you know what like a maybe it was

0:54:14.360 --> 0:54:15.200
<v Speaker 10>a disease of.

0:54:15.200 --> 0:54:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Some sort, but my gosh, no, no, no.

0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:24.120
<v Speaker 2>She is Albanian, so that is Albanian and British, and

0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:27.719
<v Speaker 2>so that that that describes the or I guess makes

0:54:27.840 --> 0:54:29.239
<v Speaker 2>up for the unique name there.

0:54:29.280 --> 0:54:29.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's why.

0:54:29.960 --> 0:54:32.719
<v Speaker 2>But you know, hey, maybe maybe if you like some

0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:35.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, rocky music, you'll you'll like it. She's kind

0:54:35.200 --> 0:54:37.400
<v Speaker 2>of like a tailor swiftish kind of thing, but maybe

0:54:37.440 --> 0:54:39.799
<v Speaker 2>more more dancing anyway, what can I help you with?

0:54:39.840 --> 0:54:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Bonnie?

0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:42.919
<v Speaker 10>Okay, So I have a question. I don't know if

0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:47.400
<v Speaker 10>you can help me. I'm a senior citizen and so

0:54:47.640 --> 0:54:50.880
<v Speaker 10>I get an awful lot of scam calls, and I

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:54.120
<v Speaker 10>know I can block them, but I'm also a pet

0:54:54.120 --> 0:54:56.759
<v Speaker 10>portrait artist, so when people call me up, and I

0:54:56.880 --> 0:55:01.640
<v Speaker 10>need the names and ideas people that call so that

0:55:02.000 --> 0:55:06.600
<v Speaker 10>I can see at the customer. But all these scam

0:55:06.840 --> 0:55:12.880
<v Speaker 10>people are using phony caller IDs, phony names, and phony

0:55:13.920 --> 0:55:18.160
<v Speaker 10>phone numbers with local area codes.

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yep.

0:55:21.160 --> 0:55:25.080
<v Speaker 10>Is there a way to stop them from actually using

0:55:25.160 --> 0:55:27.719
<v Speaker 10>phony caller IDs? I mean, do we need to get

0:55:27.760 --> 0:55:30.160
<v Speaker 10>a law so that they can't do it? Because usually

0:55:30.400 --> 0:55:33.080
<v Speaker 10>I'll answer the phone and it's some guy from you know,

0:55:33.120 --> 0:55:36.200
<v Speaker 10>the Philippines trying to sell me I don't know, trying

0:55:36.239 --> 0:55:39.280
<v Speaker 10>to give me something and try to get my credit

0:55:39.320 --> 0:55:43.520
<v Speaker 10>card number. So I'm wondering, isn't there a way? Isn't

0:55:43.520 --> 0:55:46.239
<v Speaker 10>there a law that can stop them from using these

0:55:46.280 --> 0:55:48.320
<v Speaker 10>phony call names and collor IDs.

0:55:49.000 --> 0:55:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there are laws, and they don't follow them because

0:55:51.320 --> 0:55:53.880
<v Speaker 2>they could care less because you know, they're not based

0:55:53.920 --> 0:55:56.080
<v Speaker 2>here in the US. Most of the time, they're not.

0:55:56.200 --> 0:55:58.560
<v Speaker 2>They're not on the up and up, so you know,

0:55:58.680 --> 0:56:00.600
<v Speaker 2>if you are. Let's say you put your phone number

0:56:00.640 --> 0:56:02.640
<v Speaker 2>on a list. Let's say you go to Macy's right

0:56:03.000 --> 0:56:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and they say, hey, give us your phone number and

0:56:05.080 --> 0:56:07.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll text you and we'll call you with deals or whatever.

0:56:08.360 --> 0:56:10.400
<v Speaker 2>And you get sick and tired of them texting you

0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:11.440
<v Speaker 2>or calling you.

0:56:11.440 --> 0:56:12.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can.

0:56:11.960 --> 0:56:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Reply stop to their texts, or you can opt out

0:56:14.480 --> 0:56:16.759
<v Speaker 2>of your phone number being used, and they will respect it.

0:56:16.800 --> 0:56:20.640
<v Speaker 2>They will stop using your information and stop calling you.

0:56:21.120 --> 0:56:24.799
<v Speaker 2>The problem is when these are kind of operating in

0:56:24.840 --> 0:56:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the gray area that ninety nine percent of these robo

0:56:28.560 --> 0:56:30.839
<v Speaker 2>calls are or even if they're just you know, sort

0:56:30.840 --> 0:56:33.120
<v Speaker 2>of uh, you know, even if it's a live person,

0:56:33.160 --> 0:56:36.719
<v Speaker 2>they're still robo calling. And yes, they're using local phone

0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:38.799
<v Speaker 2>numbers to try to trick you because it looks like

0:56:39.280 --> 0:56:42.080
<v Speaker 2>it's coming from you know, your area. So when I

0:56:42.160 --> 0:56:44.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, for instance, especially when you have kids like myself,

0:56:45.160 --> 0:56:47.080
<v Speaker 2>you're going to always pick up the phone when it's

0:56:47.320 --> 0:56:49.879
<v Speaker 2>a number that looks like your local area code, because

0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:52.600
<v Speaker 2>it could be their school, it could be a babysitter, whatever,

0:56:52.680 --> 0:56:55.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's what they're praying upon they're praying upon you know,

0:56:55.440 --> 0:56:59.960
<v Speaker 2>tricking us. Can you stop these That is the multi

0:57:00.120 --> 0:57:03.759
<v Speaker 2>billion dollar question that nobody seems to have figured out.

0:57:03.760 --> 0:57:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Now I will tell you. I'm assuming you have an iPhone.

0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:11.719
<v Speaker 10>Right, Okay, so I still have my landline. I know

0:57:11.800 --> 0:57:13.080
<v Speaker 10>it's not a real land.

0:57:13.600 --> 0:57:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, okay, Well there actually is a way.

0:57:17.320 --> 0:57:20.120
<v Speaker 2>So there's a company called Nomo Robo n O m

0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:24.720
<v Speaker 2>O r O b O, and they actually will help

0:57:24.760 --> 0:57:27.280
<v Speaker 2>protect you from some of this stuff on landlines. And

0:57:27.320 --> 0:57:30.440
<v Speaker 2>it's it's actually free for the kind of the basic

0:57:30.480 --> 0:57:33.760
<v Speaker 2>service on land lines. And I know you said it's

0:57:33.760 --> 0:57:35.800
<v Speaker 2>not a real landline. I know, but they support like

0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:39.720
<v Speaker 2>all the voice voice over IP landlines, which are you know,

0:57:39.760 --> 0:57:42.840
<v Speaker 2>from the different companies like Cox or FiOS or Spectrum

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:47.360
<v Speaker 2>and Infinity Uma, and so you can sign up. You

0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:51.560
<v Speaker 2>can sign up with them and they can help control

0:57:51.640 --> 0:57:53.960
<v Speaker 2>some of these callers. Now, I know you run a business,

0:57:53.960 --> 0:57:56.040
<v Speaker 2>so you don't really want to like intercept a lot

0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:58.160
<v Speaker 2>of these calls and have them, you know, you don't

0:57:58.160 --> 0:58:00.160
<v Speaker 2>want to have a lot of issues with that. But

0:58:00.480 --> 0:58:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you you know, in my experience, I

0:58:04.560 --> 0:58:06.640
<v Speaker 2>think that these calls come and go in waves, and

0:58:06.680 --> 0:58:08.640
<v Speaker 2>it really depends on how many lists you're on and

0:58:08.640 --> 0:58:10.440
<v Speaker 2>how many times your phone number has been shared and

0:58:10.480 --> 0:58:11.360
<v Speaker 2>how it's out there.

0:58:11.720 --> 0:58:12.680
<v Speaker 1>So the more that you can.

0:58:13.000 --> 0:58:15.080
<v Speaker 2>You're a business too, so they are obviously your phone

0:58:15.120 --> 0:58:17.560
<v Speaker 2>numbers out there because it's a business, and I think

0:58:17.560 --> 0:58:20.200
<v Speaker 2>that's unfortunate that you need your number out there. But

0:58:20.240 --> 0:58:22.680
<v Speaker 2>then these people, of course use that to their advantage.

0:58:23.680 --> 0:58:26.160
<v Speaker 10>Well, I will tell you rich, once I realize it

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:29.080
<v Speaker 10>is one of those scam calls, I usually ask the

0:58:29.160 --> 0:58:31.720
<v Speaker 10>guy what he's wearing, and then he doesn't know really

0:58:31.760 --> 0:58:34.400
<v Speaker 10>how to handle me and usually hang up.

0:58:35.360 --> 0:58:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, Okay, well hey, at least you have

0:58:37.840 --> 0:58:41.880
<v Speaker 2>a sense of humor there, you know. Hey, And I've

0:58:41.920 --> 0:58:43.600
<v Speaker 2>heard people, you know, they kind of mess with these

0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:45.680
<v Speaker 2>people and they you know, but at the end of

0:58:45.720 --> 0:58:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the day, I mean, what I typically do is I

0:58:47.960 --> 0:58:51.160
<v Speaker 2>try to be nice and it's just like I'm not interested, no,

0:58:51.280 --> 0:58:54.080
<v Speaker 2>thank you, please take me off this list. But most

0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:56.880
<v Speaker 2>of the time they're not respecting those rules because they

0:58:56.920 --> 0:58:59.680
<v Speaker 2>are operating sort of in a gray area. So I

0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:03.280
<v Speaker 2>would my recommendations for the you know, for the landline,

0:59:03.320 --> 0:59:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I would check out the Noomo robo dot com.

0:59:07.000 --> 0:59:09.400
<v Speaker 1>If you're on a smartphone.

0:59:10.320 --> 0:59:13.560
<v Speaker 2>All of the major carriers have their own call filtering apps,

0:59:13.560 --> 0:59:14.479
<v Speaker 2>so you can use those.

0:59:14.640 --> 0:59:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I find that they're very hit or miss.

0:59:16.880 --> 0:59:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:59:17.080 --> 0:59:19.760
<v Speaker 2>There is one interesting thing that's happening on the iPhone

0:59:19.760 --> 0:59:20.840
<v Speaker 2>with iOS eighteen.

0:59:21.680 --> 0:59:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Uh. Traditionally, you couldn't.

0:59:24.240 --> 0:59:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Really get caller ID look up through a third party

0:59:27.320 --> 0:59:29.920
<v Speaker 2>app on the iPhone because of the way the iPhone

0:59:29.960 --> 0:59:32.360
<v Speaker 2>is set up. But they're now actually allowing that with

0:59:32.520 --> 0:59:35.480
<v Speaker 2>this new thing that they enabled in iOS eighteen. So

0:59:35.680 --> 0:59:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I actually think that some of these caller ID apps

0:59:38.720 --> 0:59:40.320
<v Speaker 2>that we're going to see that you know, something like

0:59:40.360 --> 0:59:42.320
<v Speaker 2>a true caller or something like that, is actually going

0:59:42.360 --> 0:59:45.160
<v Speaker 2>to get more helpful. And even the caller ID uh,

0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the spam filtering apps from the carriers, I think are

0:59:47.800 --> 0:59:49.200
<v Speaker 2>going to get more helpful. It's going to take a

0:59:49.200 --> 0:59:51.400
<v Speaker 2>little bit of time because it's a brand new feature

0:59:51.400 --> 0:59:53.720
<v Speaker 2>for the iPhone, but I think that's gonna help now.

0:59:53.760 --> 0:59:57.520
<v Speaker 2>If you're on Android, it's actually already much much better.

0:59:57.600 --> 1:00:01.600
<v Speaker 2>So if you're on Samsung or the Pixel, they both

1:00:01.680 --> 1:00:04.919
<v Speaker 2>have an incredible feature that lets you filter or lets

1:00:04.920 --> 1:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>you screen calls through their digital Assistant. So when you're

1:00:09.200 --> 1:00:12.320
<v Speaker 2>on a Pixel smartphone and it's an unknown caller or

1:00:12.440 --> 1:00:15.200
<v Speaker 2>caller that's not in your address book. It'll say, you know,

1:00:15.200 --> 1:00:18.680
<v Speaker 2>would you like to screen this call? And it's quite

1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>incredible where it will say, Hi, I'm the Google Assistant.

1:00:22.360 --> 1:00:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm helping this person screen their calls. Can you tell

1:00:24.800 --> 1:00:28.080
<v Speaker 2>me what you're calling about? And that person says what

1:00:28.080 --> 1:00:31.200
<v Speaker 2>they're calling about. It will say on your screen, this

1:00:31.280 --> 1:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>is John from you know, pest Control or whatever. Now,

1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine percent of the time in my experience, when

1:00:36.000 --> 1:00:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm using that phone, they'll.

1:00:37.440 --> 1:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Just hang up because they don't want to deal with it.

1:00:39.960 --> 1:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>But Sam Samsung has a similar feature as well, which

1:00:42.600 --> 1:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>is really really great, and you can actually type back

1:00:45.320 --> 1:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to the person and it will read that in a

1:00:48.640 --> 1:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>voice to text things. So it's getting better, Bonnie. But

1:00:52.080 --> 1:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I think your method works pretty well. Just say hey,

1:00:54.600 --> 1:00:55.280
<v Speaker 2>what are you wearing?

1:00:55.360 --> 1:00:59.880
<v Speaker 10>And you know, okay, Thanks Ton, I appreciate it.

1:01:00.520 --> 1:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thanks, thanks a lot for the call. Appreciate it.

1:01:03.000 --> 1:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>In a beautiful Charleston, South Carolina, I've been there. I've

1:01:06.680 --> 1:01:09.600
<v Speaker 2>been to Charleston and it is a beautiful city. I

1:01:09.600 --> 1:01:12.240
<v Speaker 2>feel like there's all these cities like the Charleston's of

1:01:12.240 --> 1:01:14.960
<v Speaker 2>the world that had like this, like resurgence with like,

1:01:15.080 --> 1:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, just embracing the beauty of these cities in

1:01:18.680 --> 1:01:21.560
<v Speaker 2>a new way and restaurants and walkways on the water

1:01:21.680 --> 1:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>and things like that.

1:01:22.480 --> 1:01:23.960
<v Speaker 1>So thanks for the call.

1:01:24.040 --> 1:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Eight to eight rich one oh one eight eight eight

1:01:26.680 --> 1:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>seven four to two four one zero one. I will

1:01:30.000 --> 1:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>say the most annoying thing about I was on Android

1:01:32.400 --> 1:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>for a while with the Pixel nine, I went back

1:01:34.760 --> 1:01:37.919
<v Speaker 2>to iPhone. I will say the most annoying thing about

1:01:37.920 --> 1:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone is answering phone calls because there is no

1:01:41.080 --> 1:01:46.160
<v Speaker 2>good screening app at this point or screening method. Yeah,

1:01:46.200 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Apple has their own which lets it go to voicemail

1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and kind of reads it.

1:01:49.200 --> 1:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>But that's not what I want. I want.

1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I want the feature that Samsung and Google have on

1:01:54.360 --> 1:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>their phones on the iPhone. I mean, it's it's game

1:01:57.360 --> 1:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>changing because I literally don't dread answer the phone on

1:02:01.280 --> 1:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Samsung or Pixel because you just have the assistant answer it.

1:02:05.320 --> 1:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>If it's important, they're going to tell you what it's for,

1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>and if it's not, they're going to hang up.

1:02:10.040 --> 1:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, if it's someone in.

1:02:11.640 --> 1:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Your address book and you can't answer the phone, it

1:02:14.480 --> 1:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>knows that too. Or you know you're in a position

1:02:17.000 --> 1:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>where it's it's it's calling you. Let's say it's like

1:02:20.000 --> 1:02:22.160
<v Speaker 2>for me, it was my mom and I was out

1:02:22.320 --> 1:02:24.160
<v Speaker 2>having dinner and it was a loud place and I

1:02:24.160 --> 1:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>couldn't pick up the phone. But because it knows that

1:02:26.600 --> 1:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>she's in my address book, instead of the standard like hey,

1:02:29.320 --> 1:02:32.480
<v Speaker 2>this is Google whatever, it actually does a custom thing

1:02:32.520 --> 1:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>where you can say is it urgent? And so you

1:02:35.200 --> 1:02:38.400
<v Speaker 2>tap one thing on your screen that says is it urgent,

1:02:38.440 --> 1:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>and it will say to them, hey, you know, Rich

1:02:40.400 --> 1:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>is busy, but like, is this an urgent call? And

1:02:42.920 --> 1:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>my mom said no, and then I just replied back,

1:02:45.240 --> 1:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll call you in a little bit. So it's that

1:02:47.400 --> 1:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>level of smarts that I think is just it just

1:02:49.800 --> 1:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>frees you up because you're no longer like worried about

1:02:53.360 --> 1:02:56.320
<v Speaker 2>answering the phone, which is just we shouldn't be worried

1:02:56.320 --> 1:02:58.640
<v Speaker 2>about answering our own phone calls at this point. But

1:02:58.680 --> 1:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the problem is there's just so much spam out there

1:03:01.400 --> 1:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and so much nonsense, and so many people trying to

1:03:03.400 --> 1:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>get money from us. The worst is like the cable companies.

1:03:06.120 --> 1:03:07.959
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's like you feel like you fell into

1:03:08.000 --> 1:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>a trap. They call you, you answer the phone, and

1:03:10.800 --> 1:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>they're like hi. After like that pause, you know that

1:03:13.360 --> 1:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>that dreaded pause where you pick up you say hello,

1:03:16.280 --> 1:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>you don't hear anything for five seconds. You still stay

1:03:18.560 --> 1:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>on the line, and next thing you know, they're like, oh, Hi,

1:03:21.240 --> 1:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>we have a great offer for you from you know,

1:03:23.360 --> 1:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>cable company, uh one oh one Mega Mega Monopoly. You're

1:03:27.440 --> 1:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>like oh, and then you know this person's so nice

1:03:30.200 --> 1:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>on the other end, you feel bad you're getting off

1:03:32.200 --> 1:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the phone with them anyway. Eighty eight rich one on

1:03:37.080 --> 1:03:39.520

<v Speaker 2>Still got over an hour of the show, so give

1:04:11.120 --> 1:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>me a call. If you have a question about technology.

1:04:12.960 --> 1:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you upgraded to the new iPhone. You can tell

1:04:15.600 --> 1:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>me why or what your reasoning was or maybe you're

1:04:18.280 --> 1:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>skipping this year. Coming up later in the show, we're

1:04:20.920 --> 1:04:23.160
<v Speaker 2>going to talk to Matt Swider. He runs a great

1:04:23.200 --> 1:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>newsletter called The Shortcut. He's going to talk about the

1:04:26.480 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone sixteen. He was at the launch event in

1:04:29.600 --> 1:04:32.520
<v Speaker 2>New York City where Tim Cook was, and he can

1:04:32.560 --> 1:04:35.320
<v Speaker 2>talk about No Apple puts on these like wild parties

1:04:35.360 --> 1:04:38.400
<v Speaker 2>for the launch of things that seems like only they

1:04:38.400 --> 1:04:40.640
<v Speaker 2>can do. So there's a lot of I saw a

1:04:40.640 --> 1:04:42.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of my friends there. They were all all outside

1:04:42.960 --> 1:04:46.959
<v Speaker 2>that store. Let's see here. Let's go to line two.

1:04:47.520 --> 1:04:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Line two is Kelly in Santa Clarita. Kelly, you're on

1:04:51.440 --> 1:04:51.880
<v Speaker 2>with Rich.

1:04:53.440 --> 1:04:55.200
<v Speaker 12>Hi, Rich, thanks for taking my call.

1:04:56.080 --> 1:04:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Sure. I have.

1:04:58.320 --> 1:05:02.280
<v Speaker 12>Two Amazon Echo Dot. One's about sixty seven years old.

1:05:02.400 --> 1:05:06.000
<v Speaker 12>One is maybe two to three years old. Left town

1:05:06.120 --> 1:05:09.280
<v Speaker 12>for a couple of days, had several power surges during

1:05:09.280 --> 1:05:12.680
<v Speaker 12>the heat waves. Came home and neither of them were working,

1:05:12.960 --> 1:05:17.080
<v Speaker 12>and couldn't pair either of them and plug them both,

1:05:17.440 --> 1:05:20.880
<v Speaker 12>let them, you know, clear their memory or whatever their

1:05:20.920 --> 1:05:25.480
<v Speaker 12>issue was. And the older one I was able to

1:05:25.560 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 12>pair and get working. The newer one would not pair.

1:05:31.880 --> 1:05:33.800
<v Speaker 12>So it took it to a friend's house to see

1:05:33.840 --> 1:05:36.800
<v Speaker 12>if it was you know, here or somewhere else that

1:05:36.840 --> 1:05:37.240
<v Speaker 12>would work.

1:05:37.280 --> 1:05:39.240
<v Speaker 4>It worked beautifully at someone else's home.

1:05:40.400 --> 1:05:43.640
<v Speaker 12>Brought it back, let the memory clear for about twenty

1:05:43.640 --> 1:05:46.600
<v Speaker 12>four hours. Again, tried to pair it and it will

1:05:46.640 --> 1:05:50.480
<v Speaker 12>not pair. So I'm at a loss. I don't know

1:05:50.520 --> 1:05:51.200
<v Speaker 12>what to think.

1:05:52.520 --> 1:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>When you say pair, you mean like get it back

1:05:55.520 --> 1:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>on your account, like on your phone.

1:05:58.600 --> 1:06:02.560
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, get it back to the internet and working so

1:06:02.600 --> 1:06:03.520
<v Speaker 12>I can listen to camfi.

1:06:04.520 --> 1:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, it's uh and it is very easy to

1:06:06.800 --> 1:06:09.960
<v Speaker 2>listen to uh the radio stations, any radio station really

1:06:10.000 --> 1:06:13.160
<v Speaker 2>by by calling it out. It's quite quite incredible, incredible

1:06:13.200 --> 1:06:14.919
<v Speaker 2>how simple the voice is on this thing.

1:06:15.960 --> 1:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And if you listen to the show, you know that.

1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I recently put a whole bunch of these things in

1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>my house because I'm upset at my Sono speakers. And

1:06:22.960 --> 1:06:25.439
<v Speaker 2>it's wild how much more I'm listening to things because

1:06:25.480 --> 1:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>it's so easy to call up stuff through these uh.

1:06:28.200 --> 1:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>So the main.

1:06:31.160 --> 1:06:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would understand that. So a couple of things,

1:06:33.600 --> 1:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>A couple thoughts. Number one, have you tried to do

1:06:36.640 --> 1:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a complete reset of this echo dot? Like I know

1:06:40.160 --> 1:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>you said you unplugged it and plugged it back in,

1:06:42.920 --> 1:06:45.320
<v Speaker 2>but have you done like a factory reset where it

1:06:45.360 --> 1:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>actually like reboots everything back to factory.

1:06:48.600 --> 1:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Have you tried that?

1:06:50.760 --> 1:06:50.920
<v Speaker 4>No?

1:06:51.800 --> 1:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well that's what I think you need to try.

1:06:54.720 --> 1:06:57.080
<v Speaker 12>But it did work up my friend's house immediately.

1:06:58.160 --> 1:07:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that could be for various reasons.

1:07:00.160 --> 1:07:01.600
<v Speaker 2>But I think we're we're trying to get it to

1:07:01.600 --> 1:07:02.960
<v Speaker 2>work at your house, and I think this is the

1:07:02.960 --> 1:07:04.720
<v Speaker 2>best way to do that. I think that this will

1:07:05.640 --> 1:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>basically you are resetting it. I think maybe this thing

1:07:08.040 --> 1:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>is confused at this point because it was you know,

1:07:10.240 --> 1:07:12.760
<v Speaker 2>it was shocked with the power surges. You brought it

1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:14.960
<v Speaker 2>to a friend's house, so it doesn't know, you know,

1:07:15.000 --> 1:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>if it should be what's what.

1:07:16.520 --> 1:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't even know what it's doing at this point.

1:07:18.440 --> 1:07:20.960
<v Speaker 2>So it's been connected to different had you I don't

1:07:20.960 --> 1:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>even know how you set it up at your friend's house.

1:07:22.400 --> 1:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you set up with their internet or something?

1:07:25.920 --> 1:07:26.200
<v Speaker 10>Yeah?

1:07:27.000 --> 1:07:31.000
<v Speaker 12>Oh interesting, My granddaughter took it and it's paired right

1:07:31.080 --> 1:07:36.360
<v Speaker 12>up to his network and came on no bumb Okay.

1:07:36.360 --> 1:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, So what I would do is I would

1:07:38.440 --> 1:07:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I would do the factory reset, and you know the

1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>way that you do this is I would do the

1:07:45.360 --> 1:07:48.479
<v Speaker 2>factory reset completely there's two different levels of reset. One

1:07:48.600 --> 1:07:51.360
<v Speaker 2>is like like a soft reset. One is a factory.

1:07:51.400 --> 1:07:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I think the factory is going to be the easiest

1:07:52.880 --> 1:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's probably going to give you the best results.

1:07:55.000 --> 1:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>So what you want to do is press and hold

1:07:56.800 --> 1:07:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the volume down and the microphone off buttons for twenty

1:07:59.680 --> 1:08:03.840
<v Speaker 2>seconds until the light turns on and off again, and

1:08:03.880 --> 1:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>then your device will will enter set the initial set

1:08:06.560 --> 1:08:13.120
<v Speaker 2>up mode and phone Yeah, like plug it in, volume down,

1:08:13.200 --> 1:08:15.439
<v Speaker 2>press those two buttons at the same time, Volume down,

1:08:15.440 --> 1:08:19.479
<v Speaker 2>microphone off for twenty seconds. This thing is gonna kind of,

1:08:19.720 --> 1:08:22.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, go through some cycles of resetting, and it's

1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:23.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be as if you just got it from

1:08:23.880 --> 1:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the Amazon factory and then you try to pair it

1:08:27.000 --> 1:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>if it doesn't work to pair after that. Is this

1:08:31.280 --> 1:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>the two to three year old one or the seven

1:08:32.880 --> 1:08:33.280
<v Speaker 2>year old.

1:08:33.240 --> 1:08:35.679
<v Speaker 4>One year old one?

1:08:35.960 --> 1:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so it's not that old, So you can you

1:08:39.280 --> 1:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>can appeal to Amazon. I know this is way out

1:08:42.120 --> 1:08:46.080
<v Speaker 2>of its you know, warranty, but you never know it's Amazon.

1:08:46.200 --> 1:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>You may, you know, with the way I would approach it,

1:08:47.880 --> 1:08:49.559
<v Speaker 2>I'd say, hey, I've had this thing and it's just

1:08:49.640 --> 1:08:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, it's not working anymore. You know, is

1:08:51.800 --> 1:08:53.479
<v Speaker 2>there anything we can do to swap this out for

1:08:53.520 --> 1:08:55.599
<v Speaker 2>a new one. You guys can take the old one

1:08:55.680 --> 1:08:57.759
<v Speaker 2>to check it out and see what what went wrong.

1:08:59.560 --> 1:09:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Or know, we do have Prime Day coming up. These

1:09:01.800 --> 1:09:04.840
<v Speaker 2>things are not, you know, not terribly expensive. Obviously I

1:09:04.880 --> 1:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't like to throw around. Oh, just buy

1:09:07.160 --> 1:09:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a new one, but you know they do have the

1:09:09.200 --> 1:09:11.600
<v Speaker 2>fifth generation is like thirty five bucks right now and

1:09:11.800 --> 1:09:13.639
<v Speaker 2>over Prime Day will probably be even cheaper.

1:09:13.800 --> 1:09:16.479
<v Speaker 1>So if you want to solve your hand, like playing a.

1:09:16.400 --> 1:09:18.680
<v Speaker 12>New one because I love it so much, but it

1:09:18.760 --> 1:09:20.360
<v Speaker 12>was weird that it works somewhere else.

1:09:21.160 --> 1:09:24.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, that is strange. I agree with that part.

1:09:24.680 --> 1:09:27.680
<v Speaker 2>So but do the do the factory reset, try to

1:09:27.680 --> 1:09:30.080
<v Speaker 2>pair it up again and let me know if it works.

1:09:30.080 --> 1:09:30.719

<v Speaker 2>Eighty eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

1:10:19.400 --> 1:10:21.280
<v Speaker 2>four to two four one zero one.

1:10:21.479 --> 1:10:21.679
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

1:10:21.720 --> 1:10:25.160
<v Speaker 2>This week, UH, Spectrum made a big deal about their

1:10:25.240 --> 1:10:29.760
<v Speaker 2>new customer commitment. So if you have Spectrum Internet, they

1:10:29.800 --> 1:10:33.679
<v Speaker 2>gave you a free speed upgrade. So the three hundred

1:10:33.720 --> 1:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>megabits per second plan is now up to four hundred

1:10:35.960 --> 1:10:39.120
<v Speaker 2>megabits per second, the five hundred is up to six hundred.

1:10:39.400 --> 1:10:42.200
<v Speaker 2>That's free, so you don't have to do anything. You'll

1:10:42.240 --> 1:10:44.200
<v Speaker 2>just get I don't know, just I think it's probably

1:10:44.240 --> 1:10:47.160
<v Speaker 2>already happened. So if your Internet feels a little bit speedier,

1:10:47.360 --> 1:10:48.160
<v Speaker 2>that's what's going on.

1:10:48.960 --> 1:10:49.160
<v Speaker 13>Uh.

1:10:49.200 --> 1:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>They also, you know, gave some commitments saying if if

1:10:52.720 --> 1:10:54.960
<v Speaker 2>there's any issue before five pm. They'll have a same

1:10:55.040 --> 1:10:57.880
<v Speaker 2>day technician come to your house. If an outage lasts

1:10:57.920 --> 1:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>over two hours, they'll give you a bill credit. They've

1:11:01.000 --> 1:11:04.040
<v Speaker 2>got whole dollar pricing with taxes and fees included. No

1:11:04.120 --> 1:11:08.080
<v Speaker 2>annual contracts, twenty four to seven US based customer service,

1:11:08.520 --> 1:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty day money back guarantee for new services, fourteen days

1:11:11.840 --> 1:11:12.920
<v Speaker 2>for mobile services.

1:11:13.600 --> 1:11:14.479
<v Speaker 1>It's all good stuff.

1:11:14.560 --> 1:11:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I think the main the main issue I have with

1:11:17.160 --> 1:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Spectrum and all of these cable companies is they still

1:11:20.400 --> 1:11:23.479
<v Speaker 2>want you to bundle. And I get that bundling is cheaper,

1:11:23.760 --> 1:11:25.720
<v Speaker 2>and yes, you can save a lot of money if

1:11:25.720 --> 1:11:27.559
<v Speaker 2>you bundle some of these Spectrum services.

1:11:27.560 --> 1:11:28.439
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you.

1:11:28.680 --> 1:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>It's easy to get started with these services. It is

1:11:32.160 --> 1:11:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot tougher to switch or cancel or change when

1:11:35.920 --> 1:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>you're doing stuff like this. You know you've gotten so

1:11:37.720 --> 1:11:40.240
<v Speaker 2>used to Netflix. If you don't look it, you cancel online.

1:11:40.240 --> 1:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>It takes two seconds. With something like this, you do

1:11:42.680 --> 1:11:44.760
<v Speaker 2>have to call in and ask and figure it out,

1:11:44.840 --> 1:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>send back. The equipment and the upload speeds for cable

1:11:49.160 --> 1:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>internet are still not as fast as fiber. But hey,

1:11:52.080 --> 1:11:53.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I like what they're doing. I like

1:11:53.840 --> 1:11:58.760

<v Speaker 2>Jill listens on KFI in Los Angeles says, I currently

1:13:13.400 --> 1:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>use the Apple password manager. Will it automatically be transferred

1:13:17.120 --> 1:13:19.519
<v Speaker 2>to the new password manager in iOS eighteen?

1:13:19.600 --> 1:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you? The answer is yes.

1:13:23.120 --> 1:13:26.200
<v Speaker 2>If you are using iCloud keychain, you've got a bunch

1:13:26.200 --> 1:13:30.200
<v Speaker 2>of passwords in there already. When you download iOS eighteen

1:13:30.240 --> 1:13:33.320
<v Speaker 2>and open up that passwords app, it will all be there.

1:13:33.600 --> 1:13:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I noticed I don't use iCloud keychain, but I do

1:13:37.200 --> 1:13:39.519
<v Speaker 2>have a couple of passwords in there for certain things,

1:13:39.600 --> 1:13:42.719
<v Speaker 2>and they all came over to the new app.

1:13:42.880 --> 1:13:47.839
<v Speaker 1>So eighty five Wi Fi passwords, let's see.

1:13:47.880 --> 1:13:52.040
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, just a couple of other passwords as well.

1:13:52.880 --> 1:13:56.880
<v Speaker 2>So interesting. Oh oh, that's the other thing it does.

1:13:56.920 --> 1:14:00.040
<v Speaker 2>This is actually I meant to mention this if you

1:14:00.120 --> 1:14:03.200
<v Speaker 2>used if you use that thing where it says like

1:14:03.680 --> 1:14:06.320
<v Speaker 2>log in with Apple, right, like you know how sometimes

1:14:06.439 --> 1:14:08.479
<v Speaker 2>you can sign up for a website says log in

1:14:08.520 --> 1:14:11.479
<v Speaker 2>with Google, log in with Apple, log in.

1:14:11.360 --> 1:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>With Facebook, whatever. I don't really see that much anymore.

1:14:15.200 --> 1:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>But you'll see all the places that you've actually signed

1:14:18.360 --> 1:14:21.280
<v Speaker 2>in with Apple in your list. So it's actually like

1:14:21.280 --> 1:14:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the first time I've ever seen that where I can

1:14:22.840 --> 1:14:25.400
<v Speaker 2>see all these different websites that I've signed up for

1:14:25.560 --> 1:14:28.640
<v Speaker 2>using Apple's log in, And so you can go in

1:14:28.680 --> 1:14:32.080
<v Speaker 2>there and let's see what you can do. You can edit,

1:14:32.160 --> 1:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's see can you delete these logins if you want? Yeah,

1:14:34.360 --> 1:14:36.479
<v Speaker 2>you can delete the logins. You can see what you did.

1:14:36.960 --> 1:14:38.560
<v Speaker 2>So that's a nice way to clean up some of

1:14:38.600 --> 1:14:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the logins that you may not want anymore.

1:14:40.200 --> 1:14:41.880
<v Speaker 1>But yes, that passwords app is great.

1:14:42.280 --> 1:14:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I typically prefer third party apps for everything because let's

1:14:46.880 --> 1:14:49.040
<v Speaker 2>say you start using this passwords app a lot, you

1:14:49.080 --> 1:14:51.400
<v Speaker 2>store all your passwords, and all of a sudden, Android

1:14:51.400 --> 1:14:52.840
<v Speaker 2>comes out with the best phone you've ever seen in

1:14:52.840 --> 1:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>your life.

1:14:53.280 --> 1:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>You want to switch.

1:14:54.320 --> 1:14:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, guess what, You're not gonna be able to use

1:14:56.000 --> 1:14:58.600
<v Speaker 2>that passwords app on Android because it's Apple. You know,

1:14:58.640 --> 1:15:00.559
<v Speaker 2>most of their stuff only works on Apple stuff. So

1:15:01.479 --> 1:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>that's why I typically prefer a third party program that

1:15:04.920 --> 1:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>works across all platforms, something like a dash Lane, something

1:15:09.080 --> 1:15:12.000
<v Speaker 2>like a bit Warden, something like a one password. But

1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:15.240
<v Speaker 2>if you are just wanting something for free, you're not

1:15:15.280 --> 1:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>going to leave Apple anytime soon, and you know you're

1:15:18.120 --> 1:15:20.519
<v Speaker 2>not going to use anything else, use the passwords app.

1:15:20.560 --> 1:15:24.439
<v Speaker 2>It's way better than not using a passwords app. Let's

1:15:24.520 --> 1:15:25.720
<v Speaker 2>go to line two.

1:15:26.000 --> 1:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>We've got Leslie in Coda de Casa California. In parentheses

1:15:31.960 --> 1:15:36.160
<v Speaker 1>it says where the Real Housewives lived? Did Kim add that?

1:15:36.320 --> 1:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Or did Leslie say that you're on with Rich?

1:15:40.840 --> 1:15:43.880
<v Speaker 13>Kim added that we had about it?

1:15:44.400 --> 1:15:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't know that nonsense, but I'm sure I

1:15:48.080 --> 1:15:51.360
<v Speaker 2>know those are popular shows. And I did watch a

1:15:51.400 --> 1:15:53.840
<v Speaker 2>little bit of The New Jersey Housewives back in the

1:15:53.920 --> 1:15:56.680
<v Speaker 2>day before it, you know, I just actually saw it

1:15:56.720 --> 1:15:59.479
<v Speaker 2>on the one of the systems. It had like fourteen seasons.

1:15:59.479 --> 1:16:01.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, wait, what I watched like the first one? Anyway,

1:16:02.560 --> 1:16:03.880
<v Speaker 2>what can I help you with today?

1:16:04.720 --> 1:16:11.360
<v Speaker 13>I need assistance with either recovering or resetting my Microsoft

1:16:12.000 --> 1:16:14.760
<v Speaker 13>account log in, which I apparently have but I did

1:16:14.800 --> 1:16:18.680
<v Speaker 13>not know I had, and I don't know if it

1:16:18.840 --> 1:16:21.320
<v Speaker 13>was an eight hundred number. I'm trying to do it

1:16:21.360 --> 1:16:23.360
<v Speaker 13>online and it's not working.

1:16:24.800 --> 1:16:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you're trying. What are you trying to do? Exactly?

1:16:28.680 --> 1:16:33.000
<v Speaker 13>So Cox, the cable company that's who I had my

1:16:33.120 --> 1:16:37.479
<v Speaker 13>email addressed with forever, We're talking twenty thirty years and

1:16:37.560 --> 1:16:40.240
<v Speaker 13>they recently got out of the business. I don't know

1:16:40.240 --> 1:16:43.240
<v Speaker 13>if you knew that the email business, and they transitioned

1:16:43.240 --> 1:16:45.479
<v Speaker 13>our accounts to Yahoo.

1:16:46.320 --> 1:16:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Correct, So I've heard nothing about horrible stories.

1:16:49.720 --> 1:16:52.679
<v Speaker 13>Yes, thank you. So we can still use Cox dot net.

1:16:53.120 --> 1:16:54.920
<v Speaker 13>We don't have to change that, which is good. But

1:16:55.040 --> 1:16:59.120
<v Speaker 13>obviously it's just a background process through Yahoo. So I

1:16:59.120 --> 1:17:02.320
<v Speaker 13>can access my new emails, send emails, et cetera through

1:17:02.360 --> 1:17:07.080
<v Speaker 13>their app. That's working fine. However, I've had Microsoft Outlook

1:17:07.080 --> 1:17:11.160
<v Speaker 13>installed on my laptop computer forever and it was always

1:17:11.200 --> 1:17:14.720
<v Speaker 13>attached to cocks So now I need to go in

1:17:14.880 --> 1:17:18.800
<v Speaker 13>and update the settings, the incoming outgoing servers whatnot to

1:17:18.880 --> 1:17:23.000
<v Speaker 13>attach to my Yahoo. Yes, but they're saying I have

1:17:23.200 --> 1:17:27.200
<v Speaker 13>a Microsoft account. Well I've I've had this Outlook set

1:17:27.280 --> 1:17:29.760
<v Speaker 13>up since the beginning of time. There was not even

1:17:29.760 --> 1:17:33.040
<v Speaker 13>such a thing as a Microsoft account. So they say

1:17:33.080 --> 1:17:35.320
<v Speaker 13>I have one. I'm trying to reset it. It's forcing

1:17:35.360 --> 1:17:39.040
<v Speaker 13>me to answer all these questions on a recovery email.

1:17:39.160 --> 1:17:41.519
<v Speaker 13>What's the name of the email, what's the subject line?

1:17:41.560 --> 1:17:42.879
<v Speaker 13>I've tried it three times.

1:17:42.960 --> 1:17:44.840
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't work, Okay, I don't.

1:17:44.880 --> 1:17:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you need the Microsoft account to access

1:17:48.040 --> 1:17:50.240
<v Speaker 2>your Yah your coxmail through Yahoo.

1:17:50.240 --> 1:17:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Mal because those are two separate things. So what what

1:17:55.439 --> 1:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>are you.

1:17:55.800 --> 1:17:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Trying to log in with the Microsoft account because you

1:17:58.120 --> 1:18:01.040
<v Speaker 2>don't need to log into the Microsoft account to use Outlook.

1:18:03.560 --> 1:18:06.960
<v Speaker 13>Well, I can't send and receive emails anymore through Microsoft

1:18:07.040 --> 1:18:08.879
<v Speaker 13>Outlets outlooks it's the data.

1:18:08.680 --> 1:18:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Book, right, Okay, So here's what you need to do.

1:18:11.680 --> 1:18:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I think what happened is when you added the cos email,

1:18:15.720 --> 1:18:19.920
<v Speaker 2>it was using Cox servers, right, and those servers.

1:18:19.560 --> 1:18:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Are no longer. They're no longer doing that.

1:18:22.400 --> 1:18:25.479
<v Speaker 2>So it used to be the email address was like

1:18:25.600 --> 1:18:29.439
<v Speaker 2>something like let's say like imap dot Cox dot net, right,

1:18:29.960 --> 1:18:32.519
<v Speaker 2>So that's probably how your Outlook is set up.

1:18:32.600 --> 1:18:35.360
<v Speaker 1>So what I would do is I.

1:18:35.400 --> 1:18:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Would add the Yahoo mail account. So when you go

1:18:40.240 --> 1:18:45.120
<v Speaker 2>into when you're in Outlook, it says add a new account.

1:18:45.320 --> 1:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what? Can you get to that screen

1:18:46.640 --> 1:18:48.000
<v Speaker 1>where it says add a new account?

1:18:49.120 --> 1:18:51.440
<v Speaker 13>I'm sure I can, Yes, Okay.

1:18:51.280 --> 1:18:54.000
<v Speaker 2>So go to that screen and you're gonna choose Yahoo.

1:18:54.040 --> 1:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I know it's it's odd that you're choosing Yahoo, but

1:18:56.280 --> 1:18:59.360
<v Speaker 2>basically you're gonna choose the Yahoo mail account.

1:19:00.040 --> 1:19:02.439
<v Speaker 1>And when you do that, it will ask you for

1:19:02.439 --> 1:19:03.040
<v Speaker 1>your log in.

1:19:03.160 --> 1:19:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Your log in is going to be your full email address,

1:19:05.800 --> 1:19:09.280
<v Speaker 2>which is your you know, whatever your email address is

1:19:09.280 --> 1:19:12.080
<v Speaker 2>at Cox. Is that still your That's still your email address.

1:19:11.840 --> 1:19:13.920
<v Speaker 8>Right it is? Yes?

1:19:14.320 --> 1:19:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, so there you go.

1:19:15.640 --> 1:19:17.519
<v Speaker 2>So you you put that in the in the log

1:19:17.560 --> 1:19:20.160
<v Speaker 2>in information under the email, and then the password is

1:19:20.160 --> 1:19:22.600
<v Speaker 2>going to be your cos email password. You still have

1:19:22.680 --> 1:19:30.439
<v Speaker 2>that somewhere, I'm not sure, okay, so that okay? Yeah,

1:19:30.479 --> 1:19:33.640
<v Speaker 2>So once you have that, you popped that into the

1:19:33.680 --> 1:19:38.599
<v Speaker 2>password and it should automatically find all these settings by itself.

1:19:39.240 --> 1:19:41.120
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I would do first.

1:19:42.640 --> 1:19:43.040
<v Speaker 13>I'm not.

1:19:47.120 --> 1:19:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, updating the servers is that's another way of doing it,

1:19:50.160 --> 1:19:52.680
<v Speaker 2>but I think that's too complicated. So I think that

1:19:52.800 --> 1:19:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the way to the way to do this first is

1:19:55.200 --> 1:19:57.080
<v Speaker 2>just you want access to your email, So let's get

1:19:57.120 --> 1:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>that first by logging in and getting it. And then

1:20:01.240 --> 1:20:03.320
<v Speaker 2>once you have access and you see all your emails

1:20:03.320 --> 1:20:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and all of your back emails, then you can go

1:20:05.720 --> 1:20:09.920
<v Speaker 2>ahead and delete that old whatever your old connection was,

1:20:09.960 --> 1:20:11.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, if it was set up as Cox dot net,

1:20:11.640 --> 1:20:13.519
<v Speaker 2>whatever it was, you can just go ahead and delete

1:20:13.560 --> 1:20:14.519
<v Speaker 2>that out of outlook.

1:20:15.320 --> 1:20:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Now.

1:20:15.680 --> 1:20:20.040
<v Speaker 2>The only caveat here is the way that your email

1:20:20.120 --> 1:20:23.080
<v Speaker 2>was set up as there's two different ways that email

1:20:23.080 --> 1:20:25.639
<v Speaker 2>can be set up. One is called POP and one

1:20:25.680 --> 1:20:27.760
<v Speaker 2>is called IMAP. Now, if it's set up as POP,

1:20:27.840 --> 1:20:30.479
<v Speaker 2>and I know this gets a little confusing, but POP

1:20:30.560 --> 1:20:34.400
<v Speaker 2>actually downloads all the information from the remote server and

1:20:34.600 --> 1:20:39.240
<v Speaker 2>stores it on your computer, whereas IMAP just mirrors the server.

1:20:39.640 --> 1:20:42.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's the much more modern method that most email

1:20:42.360 --> 1:20:45.599
<v Speaker 2>accounts use because you make one change on your computer

1:20:45.960 --> 1:20:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and if you go on that same email account on

1:20:47.920 --> 1:20:51.280
<v Speaker 2>your phone, that change is reflected there. With POP, it

1:20:51.439 --> 1:20:54.400
<v Speaker 2>only changes it on your computer, and that's like a

1:20:54.479 --> 1:20:55.479
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a different thing.

1:20:55.520 --> 1:20:59.080
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, my point is, use both of.

1:20:59.040 --> 1:21:02.360
<v Speaker 13>Those at some point, and hopefully it's on IMAP now.

1:21:02.360 --> 1:21:05.519
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, exactly, a lot of a lot of the

1:21:05.560 --> 1:21:07.920
<v Speaker 2>old school stuff was popped now it's all IMAP. But

1:21:08.080 --> 1:21:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the main thing you want to do is just add

1:21:09.840 --> 1:21:12.240
<v Speaker 2>that account. Once it's on there, then you can go

1:21:12.240 --> 1:21:13.840
<v Speaker 2>ahead and make sure you have access to all of

1:21:13.840 --> 1:21:15.720
<v Speaker 2>your old emails, and then you can just delete that

1:21:15.760 --> 1:21:18.120
<v Speaker 2>old account off of there and that should really fix it.

1:21:19.439 --> 1:21:25.719
<v Speaker 2>But that's it, and I think it's gonna work. And

1:21:25.720 --> 1:21:29.240
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and what's.

1:21:28.600 --> 1:21:30.719
<v Speaker 13>What if I get a new computer, a new laptop,

1:21:30.800 --> 1:21:33.479
<v Speaker 13>and I don't know my Microsoft log in and I'm

1:21:33.479 --> 1:21:35.439
<v Speaker 13>trying to install out.

1:21:35.960 --> 1:21:36.679
<v Speaker 10>The whole suite.

1:21:37.920 --> 1:21:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that is something that you're gonna have to

1:21:40.040 --> 1:21:41.920
<v Speaker 2>You're eventually going to have to figure out that log in.

1:21:42.000 --> 1:21:44.280
<v Speaker 2>The only the only hint I can give you there is,

1:21:44.320 --> 1:21:46.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, Microsoft usually has like some sort of like

1:21:46.240 --> 1:21:49.160
<v Speaker 2>recovery page, Like if you go to Microsoft Account recovery,

1:21:50.160 --> 1:21:53.320
<v Speaker 2>hopefully you can get some sort of information that can

1:21:53.439 --> 1:21:56.160
<v Speaker 2>get you back online with that. The only thing I

1:21:56.160 --> 1:21:58.840
<v Speaker 2>would do is and by the way, if do you

1:21:58.840 --> 1:22:01.200
<v Speaker 2>have access to like three six, are you paying for

1:22:01.240 --> 1:22:01.720
<v Speaker 2>that right now?

1:22:01.800 --> 1:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Or no?

1:22:03.280 --> 1:22:04.040
<v Speaker 9>No, not yet.

1:22:04.160 --> 1:22:07.000
<v Speaker 13>I'm sure I will in the new computer. But I

1:22:07.080 --> 1:22:10.559
<v Speaker 13>have been doing the recovery suggestions for Microsoft because I

1:22:10.560 --> 1:22:13.080
<v Speaker 13>thought I was resending the server and it's so confusing.

1:22:13.160 --> 1:22:16.519
<v Speaker 13>It's asking me questions I'm answering, and it's just saying, sorry,

1:22:16.640 --> 1:22:18.200
<v Speaker 13>we can't find it, we can't help you.

1:22:19.160 --> 1:22:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that could be the case.

1:22:20.680 --> 1:22:22.519
<v Speaker 2>So that the bottom line is maybe just sign up

1:22:22.520 --> 1:22:24.639
<v Speaker 2>for a new Microsoft account if you need that down

1:22:24.680 --> 1:22:26.479
<v Speaker 2>the line, and that way you have it fresh, you

1:22:26.479 --> 1:22:29.240
<v Speaker 2>know what you're doing, and you've got all the information saved.

1:22:30.280 --> 1:22:32.040
<v Speaker 2>The other the only other hint I would give you

1:22:32.520 --> 1:22:35.719
<v Speaker 2>is that sometimes a Microsoft account, like if you sometimes

1:22:35.760 --> 1:22:38.200
<v Speaker 2>it's like an email address like mine is actually another

1:22:38.240 --> 1:22:42.000
<v Speaker 2>email address, which is thoroughly confusing and it you know,

1:22:42.040 --> 1:22:43.800
<v Speaker 2>it's just one of those things where it's kind of weird.

1:22:43.880 --> 1:22:46.240
<v Speaker 2>So it's like a different email address from a different

1:22:46.240 --> 1:22:49.280
<v Speaker 2>company that I use as my Microsoft account like username,

1:22:49.320 --> 1:22:51.599
<v Speaker 2>which is just totally like that doesn't make any sense,

1:22:51.640 --> 1:22:54.240
<v Speaker 2>but that's the way I said it. Yeah, Leslie, thanks

1:22:54.280 --> 1:22:55.519
<v Speaker 2>so much for the call today. Do you ever see

1:22:55.560 --> 1:22:57.400

<v Speaker 1>And uh, let's see. Yeah, beautiful day here, one of

1:23:38.800 --> 1:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the most beautiful days I've remembered in Las Vegas because

1:23:42.040 --> 1:23:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the weather is perfect.

1:23:45.200 --> 1:23:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm here doing the show. Wife is out by

1:23:47.479 --> 1:23:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the pool. It's a it's a good day, and we're

1:23:50.120 --> 1:23:52.439
<v Speaker 2>going to a concert. It's you know, it's just fun.

1:23:52.479 --> 1:23:54.240
<v Speaker 2>It's fun to get away for a little bit and

1:23:54.320 --> 1:23:58.519
<v Speaker 2>enjoy things like this. Uh, let's go to line four.

1:23:59.360 --> 1:24:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Line four is Karen and San Pedro. Karen, you're on

1:24:02.960 --> 1:24:03.400
<v Speaker 2>with Rich.

1:24:05.160 --> 1:24:06.360
<v Speaker 8>Hi, good morning, Thank.

1:24:06.200 --> 1:24:10.439
<v Speaker 1>You absolutely what can I help you with this morning?

1:24:10.520 --> 1:24:13.760
<v Speaker 8>When I turned on my phone, I have a Samsung

1:24:14.000 --> 1:24:18.000
<v Speaker 8>S twenty four, it's only a couple months old. Instead

1:24:18.000 --> 1:24:21.960
<v Speaker 8>of the home screen opening up, a different page showed up.

1:24:22.520 --> 1:24:25.200
<v Speaker 8>It was a message saying that they were going to

1:24:25.320 --> 1:24:29.040
<v Speaker 8>install apps on my phone, and I had a choice

1:24:29.080 --> 1:24:33.600
<v Speaker 8>of two things at the bottom, once said information or continue.

1:24:34.200 --> 1:24:38.440
<v Speaker 8>I pressed information and it said if you press continue,

1:24:38.960 --> 1:24:43.000
<v Speaker 8>you will have apps installed that we think you will need.

1:24:43.640 --> 1:24:46.280
<v Speaker 8>It did not give me a back arrow, a forward arial.

1:24:46.600 --> 1:24:48.320
<v Speaker 8>It did not give me any way to get out

1:24:48.320 --> 1:24:51.599
<v Speaker 8>of the screen. I kept tapping it. I kept going

1:24:51.640 --> 1:24:55.120
<v Speaker 8>backwards and forwards on it up and down sideways trying

1:24:55.120 --> 1:24:57.120
<v Speaker 8>to get out of it. I'm not sure how I

1:24:57.160 --> 1:24:59.519
<v Speaker 8>got out of it, but I finally did. But I

1:24:59.560 --> 1:25:01.280
<v Speaker 8>want to know what to do the next time as

1:25:01.320 --> 1:25:05.479
<v Speaker 8>this comes up. But I think it's quite I'm not

1:25:05.520 --> 1:25:08.040
<v Speaker 8>sure the word, but for them to say that they're

1:25:08.080 --> 1:25:11.640
<v Speaker 8>going to install apps on my phone without my permission basically.

1:25:13.479 --> 1:25:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, so I got to break this down. I

1:25:15.680 --> 1:25:17.640
<v Speaker 2>got to figure out what's happening here. So this is

1:25:18.280 --> 1:25:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Was this a software update? Like, were you installing a

1:25:21.200 --> 1:25:22.360
<v Speaker 2>major software update?

1:25:23.360 --> 1:25:23.479
<v Speaker 4>No?

1:25:24.280 --> 1:25:26.719
<v Speaker 8>No, it just the screen came up when I Instead

1:25:26.760 --> 1:25:30.880
<v Speaker 8>of my homepage coming up, this page came up and

1:25:30.960 --> 1:25:35.559
<v Speaker 8>it was in different colors, quite pretty, and it said

1:25:36.760 --> 1:25:40.479
<v Speaker 8>we're going to start installing apps on your screen. And

1:25:40.560 --> 1:25:42.840
<v Speaker 8>at the very bottom you had a choice of two things,

1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:46.160
<v Speaker 8>which said information or continue. I don't have the page

1:25:46.160 --> 1:25:47.519
<v Speaker 8>in front of me because I got rid of it,

1:25:48.280 --> 1:25:54.479
<v Speaker 8>and I pushed information rather than continue. And it basically said,

1:25:54.920 --> 1:25:58.240
<v Speaker 8>we are going to start installing apps on your phone

1:25:58.960 --> 1:26:04.320
<v Speaker 8>based on things that we think you will need. And

1:26:04.360 --> 1:26:06.920
<v Speaker 8>I thought, no, I want to stall my own apps.

1:26:07.280 --> 1:26:11.880
<v Speaker 8>I want the choice. And so I sat scrolling back

1:26:11.880 --> 1:26:16.400
<v Speaker 8>and forth and tapping it and scrolling up, scrolling down, sideways,

1:26:16.640 --> 1:26:18.600
<v Speaker 8>trying to figure a way to get out of the

1:26:18.640 --> 1:26:21.840
<v Speaker 8>screen because it did not offer me an option other

1:26:21.920 --> 1:26:23.599
<v Speaker 8>than let them install.

1:26:25.760 --> 1:26:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, I'm wondering, I'm trying to figure out if this

1:26:31.439 --> 1:26:36.880
<v Speaker 2>is a Samsung thing or a third party app thing.

1:26:37.240 --> 1:26:40.479
<v Speaker 2>And I'm thinking that it might be a third party app.

1:26:40.600 --> 1:26:42.280
<v Speaker 1>When was the last time you installed an app on

1:26:42.320 --> 1:26:42.759
<v Speaker 1>your phone?

1:26:45.800 --> 1:26:48.120
<v Speaker 8>Only when I bought it. When I bought it, they

1:26:48.760 --> 1:26:51.280
<v Speaker 8>took the apps that I had from my previous phone

1:26:51.920 --> 1:26:56.760
<v Speaker 8>and brought them over. I don't usually have too many

1:26:56.800 --> 1:27:00.280
<v Speaker 8>apps on usually just what is required to on the

1:27:00.400 --> 1:27:03.600
<v Speaker 8>phone and a couple others. But I don't like to

1:27:03.600 --> 1:27:04.840
<v Speaker 8>have a lot of apps.

1:27:05.280 --> 1:27:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so a couple things first off, so physically to

1:27:09.560 --> 1:27:12.280
<v Speaker 2>get around, so a lot of times, whenever there's a

1:27:12.400 --> 1:27:14.320
<v Speaker 2>menu in the middle of your phone that you can't

1:27:14.320 --> 1:27:19.800
<v Speaker 2>get out of, there's typically you have to keep swiping

1:27:19.840 --> 1:27:21.880
<v Speaker 2>to get out of it, which this I'm just saying

1:27:21.920 --> 1:27:24.599
<v Speaker 2>in general, Like I don't know exactly what this screen showed,

1:27:24.600 --> 1:27:26.720
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just saying the things that I've seen. But

1:27:26.760 --> 1:27:28.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of apps try to trick us into doing

1:27:28.920 --> 1:27:29.960
<v Speaker 2>things we don't want to do.

1:27:30.080 --> 1:27:31.400
<v Speaker 1>It's called a dark pattern.

1:27:32.360 --> 1:27:38.640
<v Speaker 2>And so with this one, with this one specifically, you know,

1:27:38.680 --> 1:27:40.519
<v Speaker 2>there may have been a thing where you had to

1:27:40.560 --> 1:27:42.599
<v Speaker 2>swipe or you had to keep moving to the final

1:27:42.640 --> 1:27:48.080
<v Speaker 2>screen before you can say no, that could have happened otherwise.

1:27:48.240 --> 1:27:50.519
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times I noticed app developers will put

1:27:50.560 --> 1:27:54.600
<v Speaker 2>a tiny X somewhere on the screen in the menu

1:27:54.920 --> 1:27:58.240
<v Speaker 2>that you can't really see. It's very faint, and a

1:27:58.240 --> 1:27:59.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of times it says, oh, do you want to

1:27:59.640 --> 1:28:02.880
<v Speaker 2>subscrib and subscribe as in big bold letters in the

1:28:02.920 --> 1:28:05.040
<v Speaker 2>middle or the bottom, or download this, But in the

1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:07.920
<v Speaker 2>upper right hand corner, upper left hand corner, there's a

1:28:08.000 --> 1:28:10.040
<v Speaker 2>tiny faint X that you can use.

1:28:09.920 --> 1:28:10.760
<v Speaker 1>To X out of that.

1:28:10.920 --> 1:28:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Now, for the future, I would look for something like that,

1:28:14.760 --> 1:28:19.240
<v Speaker 2>but in this case to get out of something like this,

1:28:20.560 --> 1:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>typically are you using the physical keys at the bottom two?

1:28:24.720 --> 1:28:27.599
<v Speaker 2>Are they using the virtual keys to move around your

1:28:27.600 --> 1:28:35.920
<v Speaker 2>phone or using the swipe gestures.

1:28:34.360 --> 1:28:37.920
<v Speaker 8>Well to ulpen it. I usually just to swipe, and

1:28:37.960 --> 1:28:40.760
<v Speaker 8>then if I want to change pages, I usually use

1:28:41.360 --> 1:28:45.840
<v Speaker 8>the little upside down arrow to go from left page

1:28:45.840 --> 1:28:46.640
<v Speaker 8>to the next to that.

1:28:46.680 --> 1:28:48.320
<v Speaker 1>What you mean, okay?

1:28:48.360 --> 1:28:51.840
<v Speaker 2>So usually so at the bottom of your phone, is

1:28:51.880 --> 1:28:54.160
<v Speaker 2>there are there a little like three buttons there or

1:28:54.200 --> 1:28:55.759
<v Speaker 2>no like on your screen?

1:28:56.080 --> 1:28:59.440
<v Speaker 8>Ah, yes, yes buttons okay.

1:28:59.320 --> 1:29:01.559
<v Speaker 2>So like one'll take you to the homepage, one will

1:29:01.560 --> 1:29:05.400
<v Speaker 2>take you back, one will take you to the Uh. Yeah,

1:29:05.439 --> 1:29:07.719
<v Speaker 2>I gotta remember because mine is not set up that way.

1:29:08.120 --> 1:29:10.639
<v Speaker 2>But the bottom line is right.

1:29:10.560 --> 1:29:11.960
<v Speaker 8>Those were not available to me.

1:29:12.120 --> 1:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Nothing, okay.

1:29:12.960 --> 1:29:19.799
<v Speaker 8>Page just had their suggestion that I let them apply

1:29:19.920 --> 1:29:20.960
<v Speaker 8>apps to the phone.

1:29:21.720 --> 1:29:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So in the future when that happens, I would

1:29:25.280 --> 1:29:28.439
<v Speaker 2>just go ahead and restart your phone and see if

1:29:28.479 --> 1:29:31.160
<v Speaker 2>that goes away. Otherwise you can swipe in from the

1:29:31.240 --> 1:29:34.559
<v Speaker 2>right hand corner to go back and maybe just keep

1:29:34.600 --> 1:29:36.840
<v Speaker 2>going back until you get rid of it. But I

1:29:36.880 --> 1:29:39.599
<v Speaker 2>would go through if I were you, Karen, I would

1:29:39.640 --> 1:29:42.160
<v Speaker 2>go through your list of apps, make sure there are

1:29:42.200 --> 1:29:45.640
<v Speaker 2>no apps that you do not recognize or need uninstall

1:29:45.720 --> 1:29:49.200
<v Speaker 2>those apps, restart your phone, and hopefully that does not

1:29:49.360 --> 1:29:53.880
<v Speaker 2>happen again. Coming up, we're gonna talk iPhone sixteen. This

1:29:53.920 --> 1:29:56.840
<v Speaker 2>is rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich On Tech.

1:29:56.920 --> 1:30:00.040
<v Speaker 2>Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology the

1:30:00.680 --> 1:30:06.599
<v Speaker 2>website rich On Tech dot TV. Well, it is the

1:30:06.920 --> 1:30:11.719
<v Speaker 2>big iPhone week. iPhone sixteen now in stores. I shared

1:30:11.760 --> 1:30:15.280
<v Speaker 2>my review of it on TV and on my website,

1:30:15.400 --> 1:30:19.559
<v Speaker 2>rich on tech dot TV. Bottom line, I think this

1:30:19.680 --> 1:30:23.000
<v Speaker 2>year for these phones, do you upgrade? That's what everyone

1:30:23.000 --> 1:30:25.519
<v Speaker 2>always wants to know, right, I think the bottom line

1:30:25.600 --> 1:30:31.599
<v Speaker 2>is if you have an iPhone fifteen Pro, Right, if

1:30:31.600 --> 1:30:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you have an iPhone fifteen Pro or Promax, I think

1:30:34.880 --> 1:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>you skip this upgrade. If you have anything else, I

1:30:37.720 --> 1:30:39.600
<v Speaker 2>think that this would be a good upgrade.

1:30:39.880 --> 1:30:40.040
<v Speaker 3>Now.

1:30:40.040 --> 1:30:43.479
<v Speaker 2>I know the changes are subtle on these phones, but

1:30:43.560 --> 1:30:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that they prep you for a world of AI.

1:30:47.280 --> 1:30:50.639
<v Speaker 2>If you don't want that, don't upgrade. The cameras are better,

1:30:51.240 --> 1:30:53.879
<v Speaker 2>the microphones are better. This is on the Pro stuff.

1:30:54.640 --> 1:30:56.639
<v Speaker 2>They've got the new action button. They've got the new

1:30:56.640 --> 1:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>camera control. I think is very hit or miss. But

1:31:00.600 --> 1:31:02.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's one of these things where you have

1:31:02.479 --> 1:31:04.559
<v Speaker 2>to decide, are you happy with your phone that you have,

1:31:04.880 --> 1:31:05.639
<v Speaker 2>then you probably.

1:31:05.439 --> 1:31:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't need a new one.

1:31:06.479 --> 1:31:08.519
<v Speaker 2>But if you want to be prepped for the AI

1:31:08.600 --> 1:31:11.680
<v Speaker 2>stuff and you don't have the fifteen Promacs, then you

1:31:11.680 --> 1:31:13.679
<v Speaker 2>know you probably want to get one of these new phones.

1:31:14.000 --> 1:31:16.200
<v Speaker 2>And I'll be honest, the video and pictures that I'm

1:31:16.200 --> 1:31:17.520
<v Speaker 2>taking on these phones.

1:31:17.280 --> 1:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Are really really good. Like I am.

1:31:20.200 --> 1:31:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I was at the concert last night and the photos

1:31:23.000 --> 1:31:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and videos I got are just truly incredible. Let's bring

1:31:26.960 --> 1:31:29.519
<v Speaker 2>on the guy that was at the launch of the

1:31:29.560 --> 1:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>iPhone sixteen in New York City, Matt Swider. He is

1:31:33.320 --> 1:31:37.400
<v Speaker 2>a writer of a newsletter called The Shortcut.

1:31:38.240 --> 1:31:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here. Why am I echoing here?

1:31:40.800 --> 1:31:40.880
<v Speaker 3>Up?

1:31:40.880 --> 1:31:42.920
<v Speaker 1>There we go, Matt, Welcome to the show.

1:31:43.520 --> 1:31:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Rich, how you doing? Thanks for having me on.

1:31:45.920 --> 1:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I am doing fantastic.

1:31:47.120 --> 1:31:48.920
<v Speaker 2>So tell me you were out at the fifth Ave

1:31:49.000 --> 1:31:50.880
<v Speaker 2>store in New York City. That's where it all started

1:31:50.880 --> 1:31:52.640
<v Speaker 2>for me. I was there for the original iPhone in

1:31:52.680 --> 1:31:53.639
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and seven.

1:31:54.360 --> 1:31:55.120
<v Speaker 1>What was it like?

1:31:56.160 --> 1:32:00.360
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, it's always a spectacle and it actually makes you know,

1:32:00.400 --> 1:32:03.920
<v Speaker 14>pre order your iPhone at eight am, you know, getting

1:32:03.960 --> 1:32:07.200
<v Speaker 14>that first time slot worth it because you know, I

1:32:07.240 --> 1:32:09.679
<v Speaker 14>got to see Tim Cook, I got to see Jaws,

1:32:09.720 --> 1:32:13.880
<v Speaker 14>who was in charge of marketing at Apple, and like

1:32:13.960 --> 1:32:16.000
<v Speaker 14>all the key players are there, there's a lot of

1:32:16.040 --> 1:32:19.519
<v Speaker 14>excitement and you get to be around really big fans

1:32:19.600 --> 1:32:22.880
<v Speaker 14>of Apple products. So the iPhone came out, the Apple

1:32:22.920 --> 1:32:27.040
<v Speaker 14>Watch and two new sets of AirPod AirPods four with

1:32:27.080 --> 1:32:28.760
<v Speaker 14>a lot of pro features.

1:32:30.040 --> 1:32:32.960
<v Speaker 2>When you say Jaws, you mean Greg jawswac He is

1:32:33.040 --> 1:32:36.280
<v Speaker 2>the kind of worldwide head of Apple marketing. He's a

1:32:36.280 --> 1:32:38.840
<v Speaker 2>big guy there. I mean, he's like very he knows

1:32:38.880 --> 1:32:40.640
<v Speaker 2>his stuff, and it's it's so funny. I had a

1:32:40.680 --> 1:32:42.599
<v Speaker 2>meeting with Apple once and like he was in the meeting.

1:32:42.600 --> 1:32:44.519
<v Speaker 2>It was me and him, and I'm like, wait, I'm

1:32:44.600 --> 1:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you're literally just meeting with me to like talk about

1:32:47.080 --> 1:32:48.920
<v Speaker 2>some new product. And he's like, yeah, it's your time.

1:32:49.120 --> 1:32:51.799
<v Speaker 2>You got fifteen minutes. I was like, oh, okay, cool. Anyway,

1:32:51.840 --> 1:32:52.040
<v Speaker 2>that's a.

1:32:52.040 --> 1:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Good long time with him.

1:32:53.000 --> 1:32:54.960
<v Speaker 14>I take a photo with him every year with the

1:32:55.040 --> 1:32:58.280
<v Speaker 14>new iPhone, which I've been playing with, the iPhone sixteen

1:32:58.320 --> 1:33:01.800
<v Speaker 14>Pro Max along with the original iPhone, the iPhone one,

1:33:02.240 --> 1:33:04.720
<v Speaker 14>just to compare how they are. So it's been three

1:33:04.800 --> 1:33:06.559
<v Speaker 14>years running that he takes a photo with me. So

1:33:06.600 --> 1:33:08.840
<v Speaker 14>I force them into that, but it's it's the start

1:33:08.880 --> 1:33:12.639
<v Speaker 14>contrast of where we've gone with the latest phones.

1:33:13.320 --> 1:33:15.680
<v Speaker 2>And do you post those I've seen this before. I

1:33:16.000 --> 1:33:17.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of forgot that you did this, But do you

1:33:17.720 --> 1:33:19.280
<v Speaker 2>post it on the shortcut dot com?

1:33:19.760 --> 1:33:20.160
<v Speaker 3>I do?

1:33:20.320 --> 1:33:22.080
<v Speaker 14>I do, And it takes a little while to get

1:33:22.080 --> 1:33:25.519
<v Speaker 14>those photos off of the old iPhone because iTunes doesn't

1:33:25.560 --> 1:33:29.000
<v Speaker 14>exist anymore. And you know, get grabbing those photos is

1:33:29.160 --> 1:33:31.080
<v Speaker 14>a little difficult, but I managed to do it every year.

1:33:31.160 --> 1:33:33.200
<v Speaker 14>So you'll see that on the shortcut coming up.

1:33:34.000 --> 1:33:36.799
<v Speaker 1>That is so wild. It's tough to get the photos

1:33:36.800 --> 1:33:37.559
<v Speaker 1>off the old phone.

1:33:37.640 --> 1:33:37.960
<v Speaker 3>That is.

1:33:38.200 --> 1:33:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I wish I kept my original iPhone.

1:33:40.040 --> 1:33:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I probably howked it on eBay at some point for

1:33:42.240 --> 1:33:44.400
<v Speaker 2>like one hundred bucks and like I now, I'm really

1:33:44.479 --> 1:33:45.280
<v Speaker 2>kicking myself.

1:33:45.800 --> 1:33:49.679
<v Speaker 1>It's an antique now. Yeah, all right, so what's your advice?

1:33:50.040 --> 1:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>What's your impressions of these devices? I know people are like, oh,

1:33:52.400 --> 1:33:54.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a iteration, it's you know, it's not a big deal,

1:33:54.880 --> 1:33:56.960
<v Speaker 1>but like, I actually think they did a really good

1:33:57.040 --> 1:33:59.599
<v Speaker 1>job this year. It's like a sleeper awesome iPhone.

1:34:00.280 --> 1:34:00.479
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

1:34:00.520 --> 1:34:04.960
<v Speaker 14>I called it Apple's smartest upgrade yet, and that's simply

1:34:04.960 --> 1:34:07.519
<v Speaker 14>because it's gonna have Apple Intelligence on there. And I'm

1:34:07.600 --> 1:34:11.040
<v Speaker 14>on the iOS eighteen point one betas that's coming in October.

1:34:11.760 --> 1:34:15.400
<v Speaker 14>But what I really like is one extra battery life

1:34:15.439 --> 1:34:17.840
<v Speaker 14>and two I've been having a lot of fun that

1:34:17.920 --> 1:34:20.800
<v Speaker 14>the four K one hundred and twenty frames per second,

1:34:21.040 --> 1:34:24.719
<v Speaker 14>and that means it takes excellent slow motion video, almost

1:34:24.840 --> 1:34:28.200
<v Speaker 14>like you're in a movie, and you know, I've been

1:34:28.200 --> 1:34:31.000
<v Speaker 14>taking pictures of like New York City cabs and the

1:34:31.000 --> 1:34:34.200
<v Speaker 14>crowds and everything, and it seems like the opening shot

1:34:34.400 --> 1:34:36.880
<v Speaker 14>to a movie, and that's been a lot of fun.

1:34:36.960 --> 1:34:41.080
<v Speaker 14>So definitely those are like the UNSOUMD features in my

1:34:41.120 --> 1:34:43.479
<v Speaker 14>opinion that I didn't realize until I opened up the box.

1:34:43.760 --> 1:34:45.920
<v Speaker 14>And then there's camera control, which is a very obvious

1:34:46.080 --> 1:34:49.360
<v Speaker 14>new button to make stylizing your photos and opening up

1:34:49.360 --> 1:34:52.200
<v Speaker 14>the camera app and capturing things really easy. So camera

1:34:52.240 --> 1:34:56.720
<v Speaker 14>control is a new multifunction button, and that's brand new

1:34:56.760 --> 1:34:58.520
<v Speaker 14>to all four new iPhones.

1:34:59.560 --> 1:34:59.640
<v Speaker 10>Now.

1:35:00.240 --> 1:35:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I do like the camera control for opening the camera.

1:35:02.920 --> 1:35:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I sometimes forget to use it because it's still, you know,

1:35:05.280 --> 1:35:07.880
<v Speaker 2>getting that muscle memory, and it saved me an icon

1:35:07.920 --> 1:35:10.479
<v Speaker 2>on my home screen. But I do think that it's

1:35:10.479 --> 1:35:12.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna take some getting used to if I ever use

1:35:12.720 --> 1:35:15.120
<v Speaker 2>it for anything beyond opening up, Like I'm not really

1:35:15.200 --> 1:35:16.880
<v Speaker 2>using it as the shutter are.

1:35:16.760 --> 1:35:22.640
<v Speaker 14>You sometimes And I just like the versatility of it,

1:35:23.320 --> 1:35:26.880
<v Speaker 14>and I really feel like there are people I talk

1:35:27.000 --> 1:35:29.920
<v Speaker 14>to that say I didn't know I could stylize my

1:35:30.040 --> 1:35:34.519
<v Speaker 14>photos because the auction was previously hidden too many, too

1:35:34.520 --> 1:35:38.519
<v Speaker 14>many menus deep on screen, right, and so I'm almost

1:35:38.560 --> 1:35:40.920
<v Speaker 14>finding people as I hand my phone to them saying,

1:35:41.120 --> 1:35:43.760
<v Speaker 14>oh you can. You can change the undertones, you can

1:35:43.840 --> 1:35:47.480
<v Speaker 14>change the styles of things. So it's kind of highlighting

1:35:47.720 --> 1:35:51.160
<v Speaker 14>a lot of the versatility of the iPhone camera that

1:35:51.600 --> 1:35:54.120
<v Speaker 14>was buried a little bit before. So it's that's where

1:35:54.120 --> 1:35:56.040
<v Speaker 14>I see the functionality playing a big role.

1:35:57.160 --> 1:36:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the thing that's new with all the photograph styles,

1:36:00.640 --> 1:36:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what they used to call it.

1:36:01.800 --> 1:36:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they still do. You know, if you

1:36:03.960 --> 1:36:04.320
<v Speaker 1>want to.

1:36:04.280 --> 1:36:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Take like photos that are kind of like, you know,

1:36:06.600 --> 1:36:09.439
<v Speaker 2>just the contrast is boosted or something like that, you

1:36:09.439 --> 1:36:11.760
<v Speaker 2>can do it every single time and you can set

1:36:11.760 --> 1:36:15.120
<v Speaker 2>that just once before it would change the actual photo.

1:36:15.240 --> 1:36:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Now it's like non destructive, Like if you want, you

1:36:17.360 --> 1:36:19.400
<v Speaker 2>can actually go back and let's say, let's say you

1:36:19.439 --> 1:36:21.439
<v Speaker 2>took all your pictures black and white right for like

1:36:21.560 --> 1:36:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a week and you're like, oh, man, like now I

1:36:23.800 --> 1:36:26.120
<v Speaker 2>want these in color again. You can actually go through

1:36:26.160 --> 1:36:29.000
<v Speaker 2>and like remove that which before you couldn't right.

1:36:29.320 --> 1:36:32.000
<v Speaker 14>Right to give you an analogy of those Instagram photos

1:36:32.000 --> 1:36:33.800
<v Speaker 14>that we all took back in the day that kind

1:36:33.800 --> 1:36:36.559
<v Speaker 14>of looked like old faded polaroids that was like a style,

1:36:36.680 --> 1:36:39.320
<v Speaker 14>but you know, if you didn't keep the original photo

1:36:39.400 --> 1:36:42.800
<v Speaker 14>from before that you can't really go back, so you're

1:36:42.880 --> 1:36:45.200
<v Speaker 14>your point of like, it's non destructive. It's like if

1:36:45.680 --> 1:36:49.120
<v Speaker 14>the style changes in the future, those original photos still exist.

1:36:49.120 --> 1:36:51.800
<v Speaker 14>So I find that really helpful to you can you

1:36:51.840 --> 1:36:55.479
<v Speaker 14>can set the tone and set the style live in

1:36:55.520 --> 1:36:57.599
<v Speaker 14>the camera, but you can also change it in post,

1:36:57.760 --> 1:36:58.639
<v Speaker 14>which is really nice.

1:37:00.360 --> 1:37:01.679
<v Speaker 1>What do you make of the different models?

1:37:01.680 --> 1:37:04.479
<v Speaker 2>So, I know the iPhone sixteen is typically for you know,

1:37:04.600 --> 1:37:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the average person doesn't necessarily need like all the wild

1:37:08.439 --> 1:37:10.160
<v Speaker 2>features on the pro models.

1:37:11.320 --> 1:37:13.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, what's your recommendation here?

1:37:13.880 --> 1:37:17.040
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, so you know, the prices start at seven ninety

1:37:17.120 --> 1:37:20.280
<v Speaker 14>nine for the regular iPhone at sixteen. I really like

1:37:20.360 --> 1:37:24.320
<v Speaker 14>the colors ultramarine is this like bluish purple color that

1:37:24.360 --> 1:37:27.960
<v Speaker 14>I highly recommend. They also have pink, teal, white, and black.

1:37:28.840 --> 1:37:32.679
<v Speaker 14>Those are really good photos out of the main camera

1:37:32.720 --> 1:37:35.920
<v Speaker 14>and the ultra wide camera. But it lacks a telephoto camera.

1:37:36.000 --> 1:37:38.479
<v Speaker 14>So if you want to spend you know, two hundred

1:37:38.520 --> 1:37:41.840
<v Speaker 14>more dollars, you can get the iPhone sixteen Pro as

1:37:41.840 --> 1:37:45.080
<v Speaker 14>opposed to the iPhone sixteen and sixteen plus. I think

1:37:45.160 --> 1:37:47.479
<v Speaker 14>that is worth it for a lot of people out there.

1:37:47.640 --> 1:37:50.679
<v Speaker 14>They might not know it because they all have really

1:37:50.760 --> 1:37:53.240
<v Speaker 14>excellent battery life up to four extra hours than last

1:37:53.320 --> 1:37:57.400
<v Speaker 14>year's iPhones. But the telephoto makes the difference. There's a

1:37:57.439 --> 1:38:02.360
<v Speaker 14>couple extra things like sensors, and I just I bought

1:38:02.400 --> 1:38:06.000
<v Speaker 14>my parents last year. I upgraded them from the iPhone.

1:38:06.720 --> 1:38:09.280
<v Speaker 14>You know, they were on the iPhone se two, right,

1:38:10.080 --> 1:38:11.960
<v Speaker 14>I was a bad son. They had that for way

1:38:12.000 --> 1:38:14.360
<v Speaker 14>too long, so I upgrade them to the last year's iPhone.

1:38:15.560 --> 1:38:18.479
<v Speaker 14>Getting a bigger screen is a big deal, and so

1:38:18.680 --> 1:38:21.599
<v Speaker 14>the pros have a slightly bigger screen and it makes

1:38:21.680 --> 1:38:24.840
<v Speaker 14>just life easier in my opinion, it's it's small, it's

1:38:24.880 --> 1:38:27.280
<v Speaker 14>point two inches bigger six point three inches and six

1:38:27.320 --> 1:38:29.920
<v Speaker 14>point nine inches for the Pro and the Pro Max.

1:38:30.640 --> 1:38:33.680
<v Speaker 14>The keyboard is just easier to use. And that's the

1:38:33.680 --> 1:38:36.080
<v Speaker 14>first thing my parents told me when they tried a

1:38:36.120 --> 1:38:39.240
<v Speaker 14>new phone, going from four point five inches to six

1:38:39.280 --> 1:38:42.680
<v Speaker 14>point one So that is like, it's the life improvement

1:38:42.720 --> 1:38:44.600
<v Speaker 14>for a lot of people using their phone daily. So

1:38:44.920 --> 1:38:48.160
<v Speaker 14>those what the pros offer, you know, the telephoto camera,

1:38:48.560 --> 1:38:52.760
<v Speaker 14>the key the keyboard that's bigger because the screen is

1:38:52.800 --> 1:38:56.120
<v Speaker 14>bigger and six point three inches is a good happy

1:38:56.160 --> 1:38:57.519
<v Speaker 14>medium for a lot of people.

1:38:58.320 --> 1:38:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think so.

1:38:59.240 --> 1:39:01.720
<v Speaker 2>And also, I mean, I know it's it's kind of

1:39:01.720 --> 1:39:03.720
<v Speaker 2>like a nerdy thing to talk about the refresh rate,

1:39:03.760 --> 1:39:06.080
<v Speaker 2>and I know it's gotten, you know, in the tech circles,

1:39:06.120 --> 1:39:07.200
<v Speaker 2>it's like overdone.

1:39:07.240 --> 1:39:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It's over talked about.

1:39:08.160 --> 1:39:10.160
<v Speaker 2>And I will say, like my wife has one that

1:39:10.240 --> 1:39:13.280
<v Speaker 2>with the you know, it's a standard model right without

1:39:13.280 --> 1:39:15.519
<v Speaker 2>the higher refresh rate, And when I go from my

1:39:15.600 --> 1:39:18.679
<v Speaker 2>phone to hers, it's like, wait, what this is really slow?

1:39:18.720 --> 1:39:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Everything looks like the animations are slow because it's got

1:39:21.360 --> 1:39:25.719
<v Speaker 2>what's called a sixty Hurtz refresh rate versus one twenty

1:39:25.800 --> 1:39:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I think is on the pro And so it's just

1:39:28.400 --> 1:39:31.680
<v Speaker 2>everything looks smoother and more buttery with your you know,

1:39:31.800 --> 1:39:34.720
<v Speaker 2>movements and animations on your phone because the screen is

1:39:34.720 --> 1:39:35.400
<v Speaker 2>a little bit better.

1:39:35.600 --> 1:39:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I think next year that's going to be fixed.

1:39:37.400 --> 1:39:39.559
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think the average person even notices that,

1:39:39.680 --> 1:39:41.600
<v Speaker 2>right if you're not looking at both phones at the

1:39:41.600 --> 1:39:42.599
<v Speaker 2>same time all the time.

1:39:43.160 --> 1:39:46.120
<v Speaker 14>There's a very vocal group that you know can see

1:39:46.120 --> 1:39:48.080
<v Speaker 14>the difference, that you can see it side by side,

1:39:48.120 --> 1:39:51.280
<v Speaker 14>but a lot of people don't notice it until they

1:39:51.320 --> 1:39:54.160
<v Speaker 14>experience it for a while. Where that screen refresh rate

1:39:54.240 --> 1:39:56.080
<v Speaker 14>even scrolling through Instagram. You don't have to be like

1:39:56.120 --> 1:40:00.760
<v Speaker 14>a hardcore gamer to really appreciate it. So once you

1:40:00.840 --> 1:40:02.720
<v Speaker 14>begin to use it, it's hard to go back. But

1:40:03.120 --> 1:40:05.320
<v Speaker 14>if you don't notice it, you know, and you your

1:40:05.360 --> 1:40:07.559
<v Speaker 14>price point is like I can't spend more than seven

1:40:07.640 --> 1:40:09.519
<v Speaker 14>ninety nine and you still want to upgrade to the

1:40:09.600 --> 1:40:12.400
<v Speaker 14>latest iPhones. You know that the iPhone sixteen is a

1:40:12.400 --> 1:40:16.280
<v Speaker 14>pretty good deal, and a lot of carriers are offering

1:40:16.400 --> 1:40:20.040
<v Speaker 14>up to one thousand dollars off. Apple will give you

1:40:20.040 --> 1:40:22.200
<v Speaker 14>six hundred and fifty dollars off if you trade it

1:40:22.200 --> 1:40:25.599
<v Speaker 14>in the latest iPhone fifteen Pro Match, but carriers, because

1:40:25.600 --> 1:40:28.760
<v Speaker 14>they have you know you're paying more over time, we'll

1:40:28.760 --> 1:40:30.800
<v Speaker 14>give you up to one thousand dollars off. So there

1:40:30.920 --> 1:40:33.920
<v Speaker 14>are good deals out there if you hunt for them.

<v Speaker 14>Absolutely thanks for having me on Rich All right.

1:40:51.240 --> 1:40:54.439
<v Speaker 1>Matt, looking forward to seeing that comparison picture again. It's

1:40:54.479 --> 1:40:54.840
<v Speaker 1>so wild.

1:40:54.880 --> 1:40:58.040
<v Speaker 2>We thought pictures were so good on the older iPhones,

1:40:58.080 --> 1:40:59.800
<v Speaker 2>and now every time we get a new one, it's like, wait,

1:40:59.840 --> 1:41:01.160
<v Speaker 2>that's what we used to have.

1:41:02.560 --> 1:41:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Fun stuff eighty eight.

1:41:03.880 --> 1:41:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Actually, let's not do the phone number because we're gonna

1:41:06.680 --> 1:41:08.280
<v Speaker 2>do the feedback when we come back. So if you

1:41:08.280 --> 1:41:11.280
<v Speaker 2>want to get in on that Richontech dot TV, hit contact.

1:41:11.640 --> 1:41:14.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll get some of your messages coming up right after this.

1:41:15.840 --> 1:41:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here closing

1:41:19.760 --> 1:41:21.640
<v Speaker 2>out the show. Let me get through a couple of

1:41:21.880 --> 1:41:26.640
<v Speaker 2>news headlines before we get to the feedback. GM You

1:41:26.640 --> 1:41:31.560
<v Speaker 2>have a GM EV. You now have access to Tesla superchargers.

1:41:31.600 --> 1:41:34.200
<v Speaker 2>You do need an adapter though you got to buy

1:41:34.200 --> 1:41:36.519
<v Speaker 2>the adapter. It's two hundred and twenty five dollars. Once

1:41:36.560 --> 1:41:39.600
<v Speaker 2>you have that, you can plug in at Tesla superchargers.

1:41:39.640 --> 1:41:42.880
<v Speaker 2>There are seventeen eight hundred of them, and if you

1:41:42.880 --> 1:41:46.160
<v Speaker 2>have experience with other chargers, throw it all away, because

1:41:46.160 --> 1:41:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the Tesla chargers are incredible. They work, they're fast, and

1:41:50.560 --> 1:41:53.280
<v Speaker 2>it's all automatic. It is not like what you're used to.

1:41:53.760 --> 1:41:57.080
<v Speaker 2>This is a big deal as all of these automakers

1:41:57.560 --> 1:41:59.960
<v Speaker 2>adopt the Tesla superchargers.

1:42:00.000 --> 1:42:04.320
<v Speaker 1>If you're a gm EV. Definitely get that adapter. Check

1:42:04.360 --> 1:42:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it out. Flappy Bird making a comeback. Flappy Bird. Remember

1:42:07.920 --> 1:42:08.360
<v Speaker 1>this game.

1:42:08.439 --> 1:42:10.600
<v Speaker 2>You've flopped the bird, you know, you get through all

1:42:10.640 --> 1:42:12.880
<v Speaker 2>the little things in the on the screen and it's uh,

1:42:13.439 --> 1:42:15.479
<v Speaker 2>it was got God. It's been ten years since it

1:42:15.520 --> 1:42:18.200
<v Speaker 2>went away, but it's returning to iOS and Android in

1:42:18.240 --> 1:42:19.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five.

1:42:19.280 --> 1:42:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Not by the original creator.

1:42:21.800 --> 1:42:24.960
<v Speaker 2>He removed it in twenty fourteen because too many people

1:42:25.000 --> 1:42:28.599
<v Speaker 2>were addicted to it. I don't think it was that addictive,

1:42:28.600 --> 1:42:32.200
<v Speaker 2>but I guess maybe it was. Flappy Bird Foundation bought it.

1:42:32.479 --> 1:42:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Now they're going to have all new game modes, basketball,

1:42:34.720 --> 1:42:39.120
<v Speaker 2>competitive practice. Look for it in twenty twenty five. They've

1:42:39.120 --> 1:42:41.840
<v Speaker 2>got a one minute teaser trailer if you have a

1:42:41.880 --> 1:42:46.439
<v Speaker 2>Samsung Galaxy S twenty four Ultra got a huge software update,

1:42:47.040 --> 1:42:52.080
<v Speaker 2>all new AI enhancements, sketched image, AI portrait styles, writing,

1:42:52.080 --> 1:42:58.519
<v Speaker 2>assistant call, real time call translation, PDF stuff, voice recording

1:42:58.520 --> 1:43:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to text notes. All the stuff that they introduced on

1:43:01.040 --> 1:43:05.559
<v Speaker 2>their foldable phones earlier this couple months ago is now

1:43:05.600 --> 1:43:06.840
<v Speaker 2>on the S twenty four Ultra.

1:43:07.040 --> 1:43:08.880
<v Speaker 1>That phone just keeps getting better.

1:43:09.200 --> 1:43:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I still think on the Android side of things, that

1:43:11.560 --> 1:43:14.520
<v Speaker 2>is the powerhouse that's the phone to beat pixels.

1:43:14.600 --> 1:43:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Nice, but the S twenty four Ultra actually feels powerful. YouTube.

1:43:19.840 --> 1:43:22.400
<v Speaker 2>When you pause YouTube on your TV, don't be surprised

1:43:22.439 --> 1:43:26.160
<v Speaker 2>if you see an ad. YouTube is rolling out pause ads,

1:43:26.840 --> 1:43:29.799
<v Speaker 2>so when you pause a video on your TV screen,

1:43:30.040 --> 1:43:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you will see an ad. We're seeing this with so

1:43:32.920 --> 1:43:37.800
<v Speaker 2>many streaming services. What's the other one? Peacock has it

1:43:38.280 --> 1:43:41.400
<v Speaker 2>at and t DirecTV. So many of these things have it.

1:43:41.760 --> 1:43:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So if you're not paying for the service, like if

1:43:44.280 --> 1:43:46.280
<v Speaker 2>you have an AD supported, you're going to be seeing

1:43:46.840 --> 1:43:48.240
<v Speaker 2>those ads on the pause screen.

1:43:48.360 --> 1:43:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Makes sense, right. Let's see here.

1:43:51.680 --> 1:43:55.360
<v Speaker 2>We've got Gail from Huntington Beach Rights in I've received

1:43:55.400 --> 1:43:58.920
<v Speaker 2>several alarming emails I suspect or spam. They include my

1:43:59.000 --> 1:44:02.400
<v Speaker 2>personal information and an attachment. The letter claims they've tracked

1:44:02.439 --> 1:44:05.920
<v Speaker 2>me visiting adult sites, added something to my apps to

1:44:05.920 --> 1:44:09.160
<v Speaker 2>monitor me, and threatened to share compromising pictures with my

1:44:09.240 --> 1:44:12.559
<v Speaker 2>contacts unless I pay bitcoin. I've received four of these

1:44:12.600 --> 1:44:15.519
<v Speaker 2>from different senders. What steps should I be taking to

1:44:15.560 --> 1:44:18.519
<v Speaker 2>protect myself? There are no steps you can take. Just

1:44:18.560 --> 1:44:21.920
<v Speaker 2>protect your email address as much as possible. This is

1:44:22.600 --> 1:44:27.080
<v Speaker 2>this is basically referred to as an extortion email. What

1:44:27.120 --> 1:44:29.679
<v Speaker 2>they're doing is they're finding personal information on the web,

1:44:30.240 --> 1:44:33.080
<v Speaker 2>like an old password or something, and they're pasting in

1:44:33.160 --> 1:44:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that pasting it in that email, and they're making it

1:44:36.840 --> 1:44:38.599
<v Speaker 2>seem like they know about you, but they're just sending

1:44:38.600 --> 1:44:41.479
<v Speaker 2>this out to all people. Don't respond, don't click links

1:44:41.479 --> 1:44:44.439
<v Speaker 2>in the email. Change your password. If one of the

1:44:44.439 --> 1:44:46.640
<v Speaker 2>passwords they mentioned is one that you still use, do

1:44:46.760 --> 1:44:48.759
<v Speaker 2>not reuse that. That's why I never say to reuse

1:44:48.800 --> 1:44:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the passwords, and obviously don't pay the ransom. They don't

1:44:51.920 --> 1:44:58.200
<v Speaker 2>actually have anything on you. Bob writes in from Baron

1:44:58.360 --> 1:45:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Dooda Baron Doudah. After getting the official iOS eighteen update

1:45:04.479 --> 1:45:07.320
<v Speaker 2>as a beta subscriber, I noticed issues the next day.

1:45:07.400 --> 1:45:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Calls weren't coming through, and my Apple Watch wasn't tracking walks.

1:45:11.520 --> 1:45:13.799
<v Speaker 2>Turns out Do not Disturb was on full time despite

1:45:13.840 --> 1:45:16.680
<v Speaker 2>being scheduled for night hours only. The update might have

1:45:16.680 --> 1:45:19.120
<v Speaker 2>occurred during the schedule do not Disturb time. Watch out

1:45:19.200 --> 1:45:21.599
<v Speaker 2>for this. If you update, check your do not Disturb settings.

1:45:21.640 --> 1:45:25.960
<v Speaker 2>After Steve from Beaumont writes in, Hey, Rich, I know

1:45:26.000 --> 1:45:28.519
<v Speaker 2>you are frugal, so this is an observation rather than

1:45:28.520 --> 1:45:32.040
<v Speaker 2>a question. In many instances, Amazon tax on the cost

1:45:32.040 --> 1:45:34.120
<v Speaker 2>of shipping to an item that might cost less at

1:45:34.160 --> 1:45:37.240
<v Speaker 2>other vendors. Case in point, I needed to resupply my

1:45:37.360 --> 1:45:41.599
<v Speaker 2>men in skin bracer aftershave Amazon's price two for seventeen

1:45:41.720 --> 1:45:46.160
<v Speaker 2>nineteen Walmart six dollars twenty seven cents. I ordered it

1:45:46.200 --> 1:45:48.439
<v Speaker 2>and picked it up within an hour. I suppose that

1:45:48.520 --> 1:45:50.519
<v Speaker 2>my order met a certain amount, I could have had

1:45:50.560 --> 1:45:52.400
<v Speaker 2>it shipped to me for free, but that's not the point.

1:45:52.720 --> 1:45:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Amazon tacked on a couple bucks and has the chutzpah

1:45:56.960 --> 1:45:59.960
<v Speaker 2>to say free shipping. I thought I paid for shipping

1:46:00.080 --> 1:46:03.000
<v Speaker 2>with my annual fee. Yes, Steve, you're right. You notice something.

1:46:03.280 --> 1:46:06.160
<v Speaker 2>People don't price check Amazon because they have the prime

1:46:06.200 --> 1:46:07.880
<v Speaker 2>and they just order stuff on there. They don't realize

1:46:07.920 --> 1:46:11.160
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it is cheaper on other websites. You found that out.

1:46:12.360 --> 1:46:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Dylan from our we did a story with retro Respawn

1:46:16.320 --> 1:46:18.960
<v Speaker 2>on TV. This was a video game used video game shop.

1:46:19.000 --> 1:46:19.439

1:46:19.479 --> 1:46:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Just want to congratulate you on the awesome story about

<v Speaker 1>Video games have always been my passion.

1:46:28.400 --> 1:46:29.960
<v Speaker 2>It makes me happy to be able to reach more

<v Speaker 2>people in our community who are rediscovering their childhood or

1:46:33.120 --> 1:46:36.800
<v Speaker 2>have yet to discover the pioneers of gaming world. Nothing

1:46:36.840 --> 1:46:39.720
<v Speaker 2>beats a newcomer super excited to see and talk about

1:46:39.760 --> 1:46:43.200
<v Speaker 2>all the retro stuff from their childhood. Some carry sentimental,

1:46:43.360 --> 1:46:46.240
<v Speaker 2>cherished memories behind them and always warms my heart knowing

1:46:46.280 --> 1:46:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I could spark an emotion in others.

1:46:48.040 --> 1:46:50.120
<v Speaker 1>It reminds me why I do what I do.

1:46:51.240 --> 1:46:54.200
