1 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Initial thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy S ten, a way 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: to get discounted gift cards, cameras on the plane, and 3 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: Google's hidden microphone. What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro. This 4 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: is rich On Tech. Welcome to the podcast where I 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: talk about this stuff I think you should know about 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: that happened in the world of tech. Omrich Demiro, tech 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: reporter at KTLA five News in Los Angeles, also at 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: richon Tech, dot TV and Man. This week, wooa lots 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: of good stuff. Samsung finally taken the wraps off the 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy S ten, their flagship smartphone. I was in 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: San Francisco for the big unveiling they call it Unpacked, 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: and it was a good one. We saw a lot 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: of new stuff from Samsung. Now this is the show 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: where I talk about this stuff that I think average 15 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: consumers should know about. So foldable phone, I'm not going 16 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: to go into all the details on that, the five 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: G phone, not going to go into all the details 18 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: on that, because what I think you need to know 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: about those two devices is skip them for now. Foldable phone, 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: very first generation. That is something that early adopters are 21 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: going to get, something that just a very select crew 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: of people are going to be interested in well, I 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: think a lot of people will be interested in it. 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people will actually purchase it, 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: and I don't think the average consumer should purchase it 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: because it's a first generation technology. It's something that is 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: very rough around the edges, something that will get better 28 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: with time. So I say wait on that one. When 29 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: it comes to the five G phone, same kind of thing. 30 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't think you need a five G phone right now. 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: I don't think that the five G phone that Samsung 32 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: is delivering will be the phone that you need just yet. 33 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: I think the four G LTE phones will be just 34 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: fine for at least the next year or so. Maybe 35 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: next year will have those networks in a better place 36 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: where they will be much more useful. I could be wrong. 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: I know Verizon said they're gonna have thirty markets doing 38 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: five G in this year, but the extent of what 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: that coverage is gonna be, how it's gonna work, if 40 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be bulky, but there's gonna be some growing 41 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: pains at the beginning. I say stick with the four 42 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: G LTE let the guys like me try out the 43 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: five G networks. See if they work, and then you 44 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: can go ahead and see if that works for you. 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: So let's talk about the S ten because this is 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: a very big lineup. There are three different phones, and 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: you've got the S ten E, you've got the S 48 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: ten and the S ten plus the S ten E 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: is kind of the iPhone ten R of the group. 50 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: So this one has a five point eight in screen. 51 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: It's not their best screen. It's a full HD versus 52 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: a quad HD, but again it's got most of what 53 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: you need. It only has a rear camera with only 54 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: dual cameras on the back instead of a triple camera, 55 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: and there is no fingerprint sensor in the screen. There's 56 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: also not a let's see what else is that? I 57 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: think that's about it. I mean, it's basically it. The 58 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: differences are, yeah, there's no finger sensor in the screen, 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: and there's not the triple camera array on the back, 60 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: and the screen is just a little bit less than 61 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: the higher end models. But again, this is entry level 62 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: device seven hundred and fifty dollars and it's gonna be 63 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: good if you just kind of like the idea of 64 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: a nice small device that is gonna work. You get 65 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: a lot of the great specs. You know, the same 66 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: kind of processor and stuff, but you're just not getting 67 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: every single thing that these upper phones have. But is 68 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: it a good phone? Yeah? I think so. I mean 69 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: I didn't have too much hands on time with that one. 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: I think the phone that most people are gonna be 71 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: interested in is the Galaxy S ten and the S 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: ten plus. So the S ten is basically just a 73 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: smaller version of the S ten plus. The main difference 74 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: here again is on the S ten plus there is 75 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: an extra camera on the front, so it's not really 76 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: a camera, it's a depth sensor. And what that depth 77 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: sensor allows you to do is take better selfies, especially 78 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: when you're doing selfies with some of the fun, cool 79 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: little tricks that they have built in, like the live 80 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: focus selfies so you know at the blurry backgrounds. But 81 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: real quick, this phone is beautiful. I've been playing with 82 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: it ever since they announced it. It is the best 83 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy device I've ever seen, probably one of the 84 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: best smartphones I've ever seen, and yes that includes the iPhone. 85 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: I think the iPhone is still an amazing device, but 86 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: what Samsung has delivered is something that has a lot 87 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: less compromises than almost any device out there. So the 88 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: big difference is number one, the cameras are cut out 89 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: of the front of the display. Now they call it 90 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: the Infinity O display. So when you actually go to 91 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: take a picture with the selfie cam, you'll see the 92 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,559 Speaker 1: little selfie cam lights up like this little ring around 93 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: it lights up to let you know where the selfie 94 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: camera is, because that's how sort of hidden in the screen. 95 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: When you have a white screen, you could definitely see 96 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: where it is. Otherwise on other screens you might not 97 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: even notice where the cameras are. On the front. On 98 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: the back of the device, you've got three cameras, so 99 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: you've got a wide angle lens, you've got a regular lens, 100 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: and then a telephoto lens, so you are covered in 101 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: so many different aspects of taking video and also taking pictures. 102 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: The wide angle is so much fun. From what I've seen, 103 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: it's not as clear, not as good as perhaps the 104 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: standard the standard lens, but it is still really good 105 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: and it's just so much fun to have this trio 106 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: of lenses. And I always think of the example of 107 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: when you're at like, you know, your kids recital, They're 108 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: on stage somewhere and you're all the way in the back. 109 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: It's really nice to be able to flip right into 110 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: that telephoto zoom right from your phone. That's actually someone 111 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: asked me today, well, what's the difference. I can just 112 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: zoom in on my phone. No, the difference is when 113 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: you're zooming in using pinch to zoom on a typical device, 114 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: you're literally just zooming in on that picture. It's the 115 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: same amount of pixels, it's the same amount of stuff. 116 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: It's the picture quality is degrading significantly when you use 117 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: a pinch to zoom. When you're actually using a lens 118 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: to zoom, you're getting optical zoom, which means the lens 119 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: is physically taking you closer to what you're trying to capture, 120 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: and the quality is going to be better. So those 121 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: are the main things. The fingerprint scanner is in the 122 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: front of the screen. I'm finding this is not ideal, 123 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: but it works. I've actually turned on face recognition on 124 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: the S ten and that's actually working a little bit 125 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: better for me. And don't forget this is new. This 126 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: device is still in beta. It's not the software is 127 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: not the final shipping version of the software. So hopefully 128 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: after some software updates, before the device comes out, we 129 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: will see some polish, but right now I can tell 130 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: things are a little rough around the edges. But it 131 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: does ship with Android nine. It also has their new 132 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: one UI interface, which is really good. If you can tell, 133 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: I can't say enough good stuff about this device. I 134 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: think the S ten will be the first device that 135 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: seriously has iPhone users contemplating a switch, and I think 136 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: the reason for that is a lot of different reasons. 137 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: Number one, you get a device that has so many 138 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: different features, like all the things you want. You get 139 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: the fingerprint scan, you get expandable memory, you get a 140 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: headphone jack, you get this amazingly great screen, You get 141 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: a ton of based storage one hundred and twenty eight gigabytes, 142 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: so there's so much to love. You get the triple cameras, 143 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: you get all the software features you need, and then 144 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, you get to the price, and the price 145 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: is on par It's a good price, and it just 146 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: seems like Samsung has really listened to users and is 147 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: making a device that works for a lot of different people, 148 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: and that's why I'm really loving it. And the other 149 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: thing you get wireless power share. This is the feature 150 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: that lets you rest another device on top of the 151 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: back of your device, and you can charge that device. 152 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: As long as it's CHI certified, you can charge it. 153 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: And that includes an iPhone or Samsung's new Galaxy Buds, 154 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: which are their earbuds, So that's kind of like the 155 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy S ten A in a nutshell. They've got 156 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: faster wireless charging, so wireless two point zero, so if 157 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: you do plug it in, it's gonna are sorry. Wireless 158 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: charging is faster, it's got still the water and dust resistance, 159 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: it's got the better processor. It's got Samsung Pay that 160 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: works everywhere, right, So Samsung Pay uses something called MST 161 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: which means you can use Samsung Pay to Tap to 162 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: pay even at places that don't necessarily accept mobile payments. 163 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: And what they're doing is they're actually sending through your 164 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: credit information through a wireless almost like a transceiver instead 165 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: of NFC, So it's sending that signal magnetically to the 166 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: little strip reader that normally reads the magnetic strip. It's 167 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: basically turning your phone into an emulated magnetic strip that 168 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: the reader thinks is it's just being swiped. So that's 169 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: pretty brilliant. They bought a company many years ago a 170 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: couple of years ago that they incorporate I think it 171 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: was called loop, but I can't remember, but that was 172 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: a brilliant move on their part. Now, obviously the whole 173 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: world has turned towards mobile payments, but still in the 174 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: past three four years now that they've had this, it's 175 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: helped a lot of people use Samsung Pay in a 176 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: lot of places where other things are not accepted. Also, 177 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: the storage, like I said, one hundred and twenty eight 178 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: gigs is standard, but you can get up to a 179 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: terabyte of storage on board, by the way, and then 180 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: on top of that, you can add five hundred and 181 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: twelve gigs in a micro SD card. So, by the way, 182 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: to get the one terabyte of storage, you have to 183 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: buy a special version of the phone, a ceramic version. 184 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: This is a premium model. They have it in black 185 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: and white, and I held it. It's very nice. It's 186 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: the phone that I want, but I'm not going to 187 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: spend the extra money for it, because I don't really 188 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: see the point. If you're putting your phone in the case, 189 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: you're just spending extra money for the ceramic and you 190 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: don't really need it. But if you want to get 191 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 1: that one terabyte you have to go ceramic, so otherwise 192 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: you can go up to five hundred and twelve on 193 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: the on the devices. But yeah, kind of crazy that 194 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: you can get this much. So pricing starts, like I said, 195 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: seven fifty for the Galaxy S ten eight, ninety nine 196 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: for the Galaxy S ten nine to ninety nine for 197 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: the Galaxy S ten plus, and I would tell you 198 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: to definitely check out the promotions they have going for 199 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: pre orders because if you pre order this device, you 200 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: can get up to five hundred and fifty dollars as 201 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: a trade in credit using your old device. Now to 202 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: get the five point fifty you have to have a 203 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: pretty recent device like the Galaxy S nine or the 204 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: No eight. But again they're giving you a lot of 205 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: money on top of what you normally get for your 206 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: trade in, So go to Samsung dot com and check 207 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: out how much you would get. You also get the 208 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: free wireless earbuds if you preorder. That's one hundred and 209 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: thirty dollars value, and compare what your carrier would give 210 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: you because sometimes your carriers will do something pretty good 211 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: as well. There's also a student discount that you can get, 212 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: so if you're a student, Samsung does offer an educational discount, 213 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: and I tried it out. It's it's basically signing up 214 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: with a dot edu email address. That's how they verify 215 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: that you're a student. So if you have one of those, 216 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: you should qualify your teacher. Student you've got a dot edu, 217 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: you can qualify. They're giving you up to ten percent 218 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: off on the regular models, on the new models, and 219 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more on the older models. So if 220 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: you price it out, you can upgrade to this new 221 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: device for a pretty decent amount that I think is 222 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean, I will tell you the selfie 223 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: camera on the S ten has gotten significantly better than 224 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: the S nine. The camera on the back I don't 225 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: I can't say yet that it's significantly better, but I 226 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: will tell you that it's significantly more fun because you 227 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: do have the wide angle lens. And having a wide 228 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: angle lens is just so fantastic in a variety of situations. 229 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: You can get creative with it, shooting video. It's so 230 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: much fun because you can get that nice wide angle. 231 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: So it is a great thing to have, and I 232 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: think if you have a Galaxy and you're thinking of upgrading, 233 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: definitely make the switch. During that pre order time, especially 234 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: if you have an iPhone and you're thinking about moving 235 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: over to the dark side. And Okay, don't come at 236 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: me for saying the dark side. I'm sorry. I'm just kidding. 237 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: It's just another side. But if you're thinking of moving 238 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: over to Android from the iPhone, this is the device 239 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: that could take you to that side, and you, I 240 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: think would be pretty happy. Now you're not gonna get 241 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: I message and you're not gonna get you know, some 242 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: of the other things that Apple. I think Apple still 243 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: does CarPlay better. I think that some of the features 244 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: inside the apps are better. Like oh my gosh, I 245 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: can just tell you when I use Facebook, the creator 246 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: app on iPhone versus Android, it's like night and day. 247 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: On Android, it seems like I'm using a program that's 248 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: like ten years old. On iPhone it seems just amazing, 249 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: Like you get every feature. So Instagram, I will tell you, 250 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: I think that Instagram is neck and neck. So on 251 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: both devices, Instagram is nearly the same experience, which is 252 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: really nice. One of the few apps I've seen to 253 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: do that. Twitter is another. They're pretty much the same 254 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: on both platforms, and we're seeing more and more of 255 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: this where it used to be, iPhone always had the 256 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: better app and now we're seeing where Android is getting 257 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: better at that some of the features still not there. 258 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: When it comes to video editing, a lot of the 259 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: better apps are on iPhone. But during the event, they 260 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: did announce that my favorite editing program right now, Adobe 261 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: Premier Rush is coming to the Samsung Galaxy S ten 262 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: first and I cannot wait for that. I pay ten 263 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: bucks a month with that program. I use it on 264 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: my computer and on my phone. I love, love, love 265 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: Adobe Rush. So that's coming to the S ten. Believe me, 266 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna be getting this phone. I think 267 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: it might be my next phone. I know, crazy to think, 268 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: but I really really like this device. And one thing 269 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: that's really good about Samsung listening to their customers is 270 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: they are finally gonna let folks remap the Bixi Bixby button. 271 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: So the bixb button is on the side of the 272 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: last couple of generations of their Android devices. On the Galaxy, 273 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: it's right below the volume button. Many of you may 274 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: have tried to push the button for or mistakenly push 275 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: the button. Now they will let you remap it to 276 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: something else, so if you want it to open. Oh, 277 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: I don't know Google or Google Assistant or another app 278 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: you can have it do that. I cannot wait. I 279 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: will be remapping my Bixby button when I can, and 280 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: I can't do it just yet. That feature has not 281 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: made it to my review unit, but the day will 282 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: come and I will be very excited about that. Nothing 283 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: against Bixby. I'm just not ready for another virtual assistant 284 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: in my life. And finally, one more thing they announced. 285 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: There's just so many things to talk about with the 286 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: S ten, but there is built in support for Instagram 287 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: right from your camera, which is kind of cool because 288 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but if you ever tried 289 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: to do a story on Instagram, you take a picture 290 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: in your camera and then you go to post it 291 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: to Instagram Stories and it doesn't line up right. You're 292 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: taking a picture in four x three on your phone 293 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: and then you're putting it on Instagram Stories, which is 294 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: closer to nine by sixteen, so the whole proportions are 295 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: all off, so you either have to like try again 296 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: or zoom in or zoom out whatever, and it just 297 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: doesn't look good. So now on the S ten, you 298 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: can take a picture in Instagram mode and so well, 299 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: really Instagram Stories mode, and when you do that, your 300 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: entire screen fills to show you what your story would 301 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: look like taking that picture. So and then once you 302 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: take it, your screen literally turns into kind of Instagram 303 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: Stories where you can add all the little things on 304 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: top and just send right to your story. So that's 305 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: another cool feature. I got to say one hundred percent 306 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: impressed with what Samsung did this time around. Good job, Samsung, Apple. 307 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: I understand you're doing a fantastic job as well, but 308 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: Samsung is definitely giving you a run for your money 309 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: this time around. By the way, on this week's show, 310 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: there will not be any phone calls. I was up 311 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: in San Francisco for the big Samsung event, so that 312 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: kind of took all my time. I was not able 313 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: to do the calls. So during this podcast there won't 314 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: be calls. But don't worry, they're not going away. I 315 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: will just have to bring them back in next week's show. 316 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: But let's talk about Ambient Mode. This is the feature 317 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: on your Google smart displays like your Google Home Hub 318 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: and Chromecast that features one of my favorite features, all 319 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: your photos. Right, so I have it set to show 320 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: curated photos, or actually I used to curate. Now, I 321 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: just kind of let Google do it. They can just 322 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: pick some of your recent best pictures. You can also 323 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: do news, you can do artwork or whatever you want. Right. So, 324 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: one thing that has always been kind of interesting is 325 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: Google's algorithm for selecting which pictures are shown on the display. Well, 326 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: Android Police says that you know, Google's algorithm definitely looks 327 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: at your pictures before displaying them, so it filters out 328 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: the bad ones. Right, So, anything that's like blurry, anything 329 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: that doesn't have someone smiling, terrible resolution, Google tries to 330 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: keep those off your smart displays. Right, Well, if you 331 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: want those on your smart display, there's now a feature 332 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: that you can turn on, and it's called, let's see 333 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: what it's called. Uh, where is this called? Uh, objectively 334 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: bad photos. So Google calls the new feature objectively bad Photos. 335 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: So you can go into your Google Home app, select 336 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: a device, find the personal Photo curation option, and select 337 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: live albums, and then you can turn on the objectively 338 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: bad photos and yes, Google will start to put your 339 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: bad pictures into the mix. I don't know why you'd 340 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: want to do that, but you know, at least Google's 341 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: giving you options now. I think sometimes there's a couple 342 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: other things you need to know about this, because I'm 343 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: kind of personally fascinated by the pictures that Google chooses. 344 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: In fact, I love looking at these pictures, especially the 345 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: ones on my smart display that Google kind of does 346 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: mashups of. So they'll put like a picture of my 347 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: kid from like when he was little to when you 348 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: know he's now, and it's pretty cool that they do 349 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Or they'll show like the other day, 350 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: they showed both me and my kid eating smores and 351 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: we were in two separate pictures, but they put those 352 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: pictures together side by side, so it had me taking 353 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: a bite of the s'mores and then my little kid 354 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: taking a picture a bite of the s'mores. So it 355 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: has like almost like a sense of humor, a sense 356 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: of like wonder where it's like, hey, let's surprise you 357 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: with some of these pictures and some of the things 358 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: we do with them. So I love that idea. Now, 359 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: a couple of other things. Android Police mentions if you 360 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: want to include a picture in your you know, your 361 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Google photos, like algorithm whatever, if you do a favorite, 362 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: if you favored it, it will show up eventually. Those 363 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: are not filtered out so this happened on Twitter. I 364 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: saw a tweet about one downside of using the pixel 365 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: as a work camera of Vlad from the Verge tweeted 366 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: that a lot of photos show up on his Google 367 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: Home Hub right, and so he said he should he 368 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, there should be a way to like kind 369 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: of filter some pictures out. So I said, yeah, my 370 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: favorite is when my work pictures show up at my 371 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: Google Home Hub in between me pictures of me and 372 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: the kids, right, So all of a sudden, you'll be 373 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: looking at me and the kids of the pumpkin patch, 374 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: and the next thing, you know, like the one plus 375 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: six ' t will like show up from every angle right. 376 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: And then Liz Phillips on my Twitter also said she 377 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: takes pictures of her pantry and fridge before she goes 378 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: grocery shopping so she knows what to buy, and those 379 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: pictures show up on her display in between family pictures. 380 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: Then Reja from Google tweeted he said, it's kind of 381 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: like your pantry is a piece of art. But if 382 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: you don't like a photo that's showing, you can say 383 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: to your device, remove this photo and it will archive 384 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: it for you, or you can go into Google Photos 385 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: and archive a picture and it will not show up 386 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: on Google's curated list. So I thought that was kind 387 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: of a cool little tidbit. So bottom line, if you 388 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: have a Google Home Hub and you see a picture 389 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: on it that you don't like, just tell Google remove 390 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: this photo, and it will archive that photo and it 391 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: won't show it again. It won't delete it, but it 392 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: just won't show it again. Or if you know there's 393 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: a picture on your Google Photos that you don't want 394 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: to be displayed on your Google Home Hub, all you 395 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: have to do is just go into Google Photos and 396 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: archive it and it will not show you that picture. 397 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: I found this one interesting. Airlines now apparently have cameras 398 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: built into the seatback entertainment systems in front of you. 399 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: So I did this story on KTLA. I think it 400 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: was this week, or maybe it was last week Singapore Airlines. 401 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: Someone flying on Singapore Airlines noticed a little camera staring 402 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: back at them from the seat front in front of 403 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: them or the seatback in front of them, and they're like, 404 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: what's this for, And Singapore Airlines said, Nope, we don't 405 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: use those, but they are installed by the manufacturer in 406 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: our inflight entertainment system and they're just there, but they're 407 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: not activated. But it's kind of weird to have a 408 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: little camera staring at you right the whole time you're 409 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: on a flight. So then BuzzFeed News said that American 410 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: Airlines confirm to them that the cameras are on some 411 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: of their planes as well, and American Airlines told them 412 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: they've never been activated and American is not considering using them. 413 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering, like, well, what are these cameras for. 414 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: So American Airlines says that manufacturers have included them for 415 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: possible future uses such as hand gestures to control inflight entertainment. 416 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: So one of these things that's kind of interesting. But 417 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: the reality is anything that's a camera, anything that is hackable, 418 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: could potentially be used against us. And it's just one 419 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: of these things. It's kind of weird, like maybe airlines 420 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: in the future will have a DVR of everything that's 421 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: happening on their plane, because we have seen incidences on planes, 422 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: and I don't think planes have security cameras. Maybe they do, 423 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: we don't generally see that if they do. But now 424 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: that these cameras are there, we just need to be 425 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: aware of them, and we just need to know they're there, 426 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: but I don't know what would you do? Would I? 427 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd cover it up? If you know, 428 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: we've done so many stories on how people cover up 429 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: their webcams on their computer. Would you cover up the 430 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: webcam that's in front of you on the plane, even 431 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: if the airline says that they're not using it, they're 432 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: not activating it. I don't know, but it's kind of 433 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: weird to see this thing staring back at you the 434 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: whole time. And along the same note, Google says that 435 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: a microphone that was built into its Nest device was 436 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: never supposed to be a secret, even though the company 437 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: never told people about the microphone. So Nest Secure is 438 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: their security system, and in early February, according to a 439 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: Business Insider article, the company told users that it was 440 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: going to be getting an update which wouldn Google Assistant. Well, 441 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: to use Google Assistant, how do you activate it? Well, 442 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: you have to be able to have a microphone to 443 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: hear you say those keywords that will activate it. Right, 444 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: we all know what they are. But next users were 445 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: kind of scratching their heads, going, hold on, I didn't 446 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: think there was a microphone on this And according to 447 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: the original tech specs that were out there online, there 448 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: was no microphone listed for the Nest Secure, and so 449 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: in Business Insider reached out to Google. The company said 450 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: that they had made an error. The on device microphone 451 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: quote was never intended to be a secret and should 452 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: have been listed in the text specs. That was an 453 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: error on our part. The microphone has never been on 454 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: and is only activated when users specifically enable the option. 455 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. We are so highly sensitive about 456 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: all this stuff nowadays that if you're going to put 457 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: a microphone in your house, you want to know that 458 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: the device you're putting in your home has a microphone. Right, 459 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: whether it's activated or not is a moot point, but 460 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: you want to know that it's on there. So personally, 461 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: I think that the next Secure is it's that'll be 462 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: a good thing that has a microphone because it actually 463 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: is there originally was there, so they can put features 464 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: on there, like the ability to detect broken glass. So 465 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: I know a lot of these smart smoke detectors can 466 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: actually or smart alarm systems can detect the sound of 467 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: a smoke detector and also a carbon monoxide detector broken glass, 468 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: So it makes sense that it would be there. But 469 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: this was probably an innocent mistake on Google's part. But 470 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: the idea that we're putting these things in our homes 471 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: that had a microphone on them that we didn't know 472 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: about is kind of weird. So I don't think Google 473 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: is trying to hide anything. But look, if you're a 474 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: tech company you're putting out a product, make sure you 475 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: have in the specs what this product is capable of, 476 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: even if it's something that could be you know, coming 477 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: down the road, Like the technical details of the product 478 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: should be available for anyone to see whether or not 479 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: they're enabled. Like let's say something has NFC but it's 480 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: not enabled. We'll just let us know that there's NFC 481 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: on it. Right. It's kind of like the credit cards 482 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: that the people are getting, they've got this new little 483 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: wave on them because now they're kind of not just 484 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: chip enabled, but they're also getting NFC enabled, so you'll 485 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: be able to tap your credit card at checkout like 486 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: you would your phone. Well, just tell us make sure 487 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: we know that that's on there, because some people would 488 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: like to know that. A couple of apps to tell 489 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: you about this week that I'm kind of enjoying lately. 490 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: One of them is called Rais. I've talked about this before, 491 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: but I just used it a couple times in the 492 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: last week. I kind of revisited it after a while. 493 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: I hadn't been using it. But Raise is a mobile 494 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: app that lets you buy gift cards. So people sell 495 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: their unwanted gift cards through the app and then you 496 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: can purchase them through the app at a discount, and 497 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: the discounts range some you know, what I've noticed with 498 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: the discounts is that depending on the popularity of the place, 499 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna get less of a discount on that 500 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: gift card. The less popular places, the bigger the discount. 501 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: So I used this the other day at PF Chang's. 502 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: I bought the gift card online. I think I saved 503 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: about twelve percent. Wasn't a huge amount of money, but 504 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, on a fifty dollars gift card, I think 505 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: I bought it for forty two dollars eight bucks, right, Hey, 506 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: every little dollar counts. So I got the gift card. 507 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: It was delivered to a mobile wallet inside Raise, and 508 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: that was a little tricky. At checkout, I had to 509 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: write down the number of the gift card on the 510 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: back of my receipt. When I gave it to the server, 511 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: he took it, typed it into the computer or whatever, 512 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: took the fifty bucks off, and you know, I paid 513 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: the rest of my credit card and went on with life, 514 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: and the server did not think it was weird at all. 515 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: So I was a little bit worried because I didn't 516 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: know if the server would be like, no, you have 517 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: to have the physical card with you or what. But 518 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: there's a couple of ways these gift cards work. Number One, 519 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: the thing you need to know about is some of 520 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: them are delivered instantly, some or not. So I made 521 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: this mistake at home Depot a couple of years ago 522 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: when I used Raise and I bought a gift card 523 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: and it was not delivered instantly. It took I think 524 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: a couple of hours to get to my mobile wallet, 525 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: and so here I was inside home Depot with my 526 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: purchase and I basically just had to make the purchase 527 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: on my credit card because the gift card had not 528 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: arrived yet, right, So I ended up having to use 529 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: the gift card the next time I went to home Depot. 530 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: And you know, if you have a house, you're gonna 531 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: be in home Depot a lot so it really didn't matter. 532 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: But that's one thing that you need to be aware of. 533 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: So when I did the PF Chang's one, I made 534 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: sure that it said instant delivery, and it did, and 535 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: it was in my wallet within i'd say five minutes. 536 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: That's the number one. Number two. Some of the gift 537 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 1: cards you can only use in store. Some you can 538 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: use online, So just be you have to be very 539 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: aware when you're buying these discounted gift cards the limitations 540 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: and how they're delivered and how you can use them. 541 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: So that's the main thing you need to know. The 542 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: other thing is some of them are easier to use 543 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: than others because, like you know, some of them you 544 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: can actually just scan the code from the card at 545 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: the retailer and you can use it that way. Others, 546 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: like mine, which was the PF Chang's one, you had 547 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: to write the number down. It's a long number. It's 548 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: like a sixteen digit number plus a pin code, and 549 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: the you know, the server had to type it all in. 550 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: But it works. It's a great place to look if 551 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: you want to get a discounted gift card. I would 552 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: not recommend gifting these gift cards to people it's more 553 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: like for yourself if you're just trying to say some money. 554 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: But if you save five percent here, ten percent there, 555 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: it's pretty good. And Raise says all their transactions are 556 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: backed by a one year money back guarantee and it 557 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: does work for Android or iOS. So if you want 558 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: to try Raise, you can actually find a link in 559 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: the show notes. I've got a referral link where you 560 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: can get five dollars off your first purchase if you 561 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: want to try it out. But yeah, kind of cool. 562 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: So the other app that I've used in the past, 563 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: and they just started a news service, is called lug. 564 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: Lug is really cool because they basically allow you to 565 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, if you buy something giant at Costco, doesn't 566 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: fit in your car head you get it home, right, 567 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: you got to either use some service that they recommend, 568 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: or you have to use delivery from the store or whatever. Well, 569 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: lug will kind of is kind of like on demand 570 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: Postmates slash Uber for anything that you buy that's big, right, 571 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: And so that's always been a thing that they do. 572 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: If you need a table moved, they'll move the table 573 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: across town. They send a guy with a truck and 574 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, and he'll move the stuff for you. It's 575 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: pretty simple, like one or two items, you know, and 576 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: I paid I think fifty bucks. I got something delivered 577 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: from a what was it cost? Plus? World Market. I 578 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: got like a what was it A It was like 579 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: a shelving unit that was too big to fit in 580 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: my car. I think I paid fifty bucks something like that, 581 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: and I just you know, it was delivered right to 582 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: my house. It was great. The guys came, they dropped 583 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: it off. It was perfect. So now what they're doing 584 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: is shop with lug is a little bit different because 585 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: now you can actually shop right through the app for 586 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: favorite things from your favorite stores. They've got Ikea, Target, 587 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: West Elm, and World Market, among others, and they curated 588 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of products. So these are like big, bulky products. 589 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: We're not talking oatmeal here. We're talking shelving units. We're 590 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: talking coffee tables, couches, stuff like that. And so you 591 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: can go on their app, you can order it and 592 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: if you order it by same by five pm, you 593 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: can get delivered the same day by friendly five star 594 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 1: vetted luggers and luggers are basically uber drivers or Ubers 595 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: style drivers. They're just third party people that say, have 596 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: a pickup truck. I've got some muscles and I don't 597 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: mind moving stuff for people. And you do pick a 598 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: one hour delivery window, and you can do this up 599 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: to seven days in advance. So let's say you order 600 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: something today, but you want it delivered on Saturday when 601 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: you're home from nine to ten am. Schedule it all 602 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: on the app and boom, now you can you know, look, 603 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: I think that with furniture, you kind of want to 604 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: see it in the store. But I know we're changing 605 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: to all online stuff, but yeah, it's kind of a 606 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: new way to buy stuff and it's from the store. 607 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: So what I think a lot of people will do 608 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: is they'll just go into the store, take a look 609 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: at the furniture they want, and then just order it 610 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: right from the app and have it shipped to their house. 611 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: But again, it's called Shop with Lug. The app is 612 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: available for iOS and Android. This new feature is available 613 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, La San Diego, Sacramento, Seattle, Portland, and Denver. 614 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: And again, the experience I had with Lug was pretty good, 615 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: So check them out. And if you don't like what 616 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: you get from this new Shop with Lug, they will 617 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: let you return anything for free for up to thirty days. 618 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: Remember those emails that were going around that were kind 619 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: of sextortion emails, So they would say, oh, we found 620 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: you doing something little scandalous on your computer. We got 621 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: it on your webcam, we saw the websites you were 622 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: going to, and it was this email that said you 623 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: got to pay up or else we're going to release 624 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: this video to your friends and family. And it was 625 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,239 Speaker 1: pretty convincing because it had like your real name, it 626 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: had your address. Some of these were mailed to people's 627 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: homes well. According to an article in Cyberscoop written by 628 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: Jeff Stone, these things worked even though if you look 629 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: at them you think they're crazy, because you're like, who 630 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: would fall for this? Apparently they did, to the tune 631 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: of three hundred and thirty two thousand dollars since July 632 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So a company named Digital Shadows examined seven 633 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety thousand of these attempts sent to eighty 634 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: nine thousand email recipients and found that people do fall 635 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: for them. So they found thirty one hundred people worldwide 636 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,239 Speaker 1: sent bitcoin to ninety two different addresses. That's how they 637 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: get you, they say, got to send bitcoin to this 638 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: address or else we're going to release this video. They 639 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: also found job postings giving people annual salaries of thirty 640 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars for people that are willing to aim sextortion 641 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: claims at corporate executives and lawyers. So I don't know 642 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: where the intersection is there of these highly paid executives 643 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: and lawyers that you don't want anything out in the 644 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: open about them, and so next thing you know, they'll 645 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: pay up, or I guess they're willing to pay up 646 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: more so than other people. But one of the postings 647 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: for the job says it's not unheard of to get 648 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars from a single target. And the 649 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: Digital Shadows also noted that the job posting was full 650 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: of spelling errors, and they also had no evidence to 651 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: back up their claims. But it just goes to show 652 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: that there are a lot of people in this world. 653 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: Not all of them are listening to a podcast like 654 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: this that's explaining the latest and greatest it's happening in tech, 655 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: and in this case, the worst kind of stuff that's 656 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: happening in tech. But you have to be you just 657 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: have to be aware of this stuff and I think 658 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: that for ninety nine point nine percent of people, they 659 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: read their email, they see that it's totally spelling errors 660 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: and it looks like it was written from a different country. 661 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: And you know, Google has done a better job of 662 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: in Gmail showing you that this is seems fraudulent, just 663 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: does not seem on the up and up. So I 664 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: think we've gotten better with this stuff, but the reality 665 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: is people still fall for it, and with this specific one, 666 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, I got the email, A couple other people 667 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: got the email. I've got a bunch of viewers sending 668 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: me this email saying that they got it, and it 669 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: gives you pause. You know, you sit there and you think, well, 670 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: can someone tap into my webcam? You know, and it's 671 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: just one of those things. Again, clearly the scam works 672 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: because they got three hundred and thirty two thousand dollars 673 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: out of people. And again this is just the emails 674 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: and kind of the research that one company did. Who 675 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: knows how prevalent and how much more money was done 676 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: by anyone else trying this out, but just good stuff 677 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: to be aware of. Finally, I'll end the podcast today 678 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: with a new segment I call you got to help 679 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: me out? Folks, because sometimes you know more than I do. 680 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: And this email from Brian Waters came to me and 681 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: he says, can you recommend a program to organize my 682 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: music on a PC? Thank you? Now, it has been 683 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: a long time since I have organized my music. Number one, 684 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: I've gone all streaming. Number two. The only program I 685 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: used to use back in the past was iTunes. Then 686 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: I had another program I think it was called like 687 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: tunes tunes Fixed, that would like add the names and 688 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: titles to things. But you know then iTunes did that, 689 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: So I mean Windows Music Media Player back in the day. 690 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: But I just do not have a physical music collection. 691 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: I don't want a physical music collection anymore, or a 692 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: digital music collection, whatever you want to call it. I'm 693 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: all online. So if you can recommend an app on 694 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: PC that helps Brian organize all of his music, that 695 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: would be a help to me.
