I'm Rich Damiro. 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.240 This is Rich on Tech, the podcast with different intro 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.280 music every single week of the year. Producer Megan. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.600 The music is so funny, it's making me laugh. 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:40.479 You made it back from CS? 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:41.239 Did I? 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.760 Last week we were in a minivan recording this show. 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:50.400 This week we are back in our amazing studio. Luxuriously appointed. 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:55.680 That's the theme of our studio here at headquarters Ktila, 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:02.480 Los Angeles, California, United States, Northern North America. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.320 You said this last week, Earth Earth, Galaxy one. 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:11.959 Galaxy one. Anyway, welcome back. We've got a lot to 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:16.400 talk about. I feel like a lot of people did 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.680 not send any questions last week because they're like, you're 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.360 just too busy with CS, even though we have enough 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.319 for the podcast, believe me, but it's still it was 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:25.000 like a trickle. 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.600 Oh do you think people really were like, he's at CS, 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:28.240 it's not the time. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.039 No people could care last thing. People have no idea, 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.960 They don't even you know, like, who's who's keeping track 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.000 of my schedule? Right? 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.760 I'm just curious when when is the busiest time for 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:37.600 questions like did. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.160 You get to take the holidays? Yeah? What was your 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.559 biggest takeaway from CS last week? I know we talked 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:44.479 a little bit, we're not going to harp on it. 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.000 What was your biggest takeaway? 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.840 My biggest takeaway that like self driving cars, Like that's 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.480 that's going to happen. And it became very real for me. 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.440 Being in that because that was your first time, that 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:57.160 my first time. 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.320 I think we talked about this last week, but yeah. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.800 They did, but we were in a we are going 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.080 to have self driving We just edited that story and 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:05.080 did you watch it? 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:06.040 I haven't watched it. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.160 Oh it was great. Like so Megan and I actually 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:12.000 shot the story ourselves, and so it's always a little 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.919 dicey for our editor to do these stories because when 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.079 we've shot them, it's like a crapshoot, like you don't 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.480 know if the shots are there, you don't know if 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.040 any You can't take anything for granted. Because we shot 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:22.959 it on like our iPhone. 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.080 I got like car sick because I wasn't like I 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.040 wasn't watching the road I was just like shooting right right, 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:28.840 trying to get a. 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.440 Good try to get a good angle. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.840 Megan had to take a breather one point, the phone 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.840 just drops to the floor. So we're gonna have that 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.280 story on KTLA and soon. But that was a great one. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.520 That was that was really interesting Monday. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.239 Yeah, well, whatever day you're listening to this. This is 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.440 the thing. When you're doing social media, time does not matter. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.720 There's no such thing as time, because you could be 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:55.119 listening right now midnight in twenty twenty five. You could 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.639 be a time traveler. You could literally be. 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.639 Listening eye and you could be listening it doesn't even 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.440 exist anymore, so you can't even look at it. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.760 Or you could be back in nineteen sixty two and 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.919 you're listening from the future because you went to the future, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.120 downloaded our podcast and now you're listening on your way 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.280 back home. Yeah, I mean, we don't know believe in that. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.320 Oh I wo, I love I mean, come on, back 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.760 to the future. Is my When I was a kid, 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.320 I tried to build my own dolore and with like 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:20.320 a flex capacitor. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.200 Are you still trying to build your own Dolore? 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.800 No, I'm just still trying to get back to the future, 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.399 get back to back in time. I'm stuck. I didn't 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.280 want to tell you, but I'm actually here from another time. 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.560 So oh wow, Yeah, it's weird, it's complicated, but let's 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.600 start with Google. You can now use your iPhone as 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.960 a security key for Google log in. And what this 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.320 means is that you always hear me talking about the 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.600 importance of two factor authentication. What that means is that 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.280 you sign up for a website and it will text 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.640 you a code when you try to log in. Well, 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.640 that's secure, but it's not that secure because that code 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.240 has to travel through the Internet, or through the telephone 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.880 lines or through waver to arrive to your phone. And 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.040 if you're using something like Google Voice, you might have 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.000 your number and your text connected to a bunch of 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:11.520 different devices. So the most secure way is this physical 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.160 security key. And what this physical security key does is 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.800 it is in close proximity to your computer and it says, hey, 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.880 is this you logging in? And you approve it. Megan 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.000 is really grinning over here. I'm not sure what's going on. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:22.880 An email? 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.359 Oh okay, good, We'll get to the emails in just 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:25.880 a second. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.200 Sorry, but so. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.320 Now, if you have an iPhone and you want to 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.760 really secure your logins to Google, go ahead and set 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.760 up what's called the Google smart Lock app on iOS, 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.800 and it uses your built in security on the iPhone, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.039 which is called the Secure Enclave to store your information. 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.880 And the bottom line is when your phone is in 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.680 bluetooth range of your computer that you're logging in to 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.000 Google on, it will pop up a little thing on 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:55.880 your phone that says, hey, is this you and you 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.920 can say yes or no. And the reason why it's 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.080 more secure is because the there is this thing right 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.200 now where you can use your where I don't know 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.120 if you've logged into Google anytime recently, but a lot 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.159 of times instead of now texting you a code, it 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.760 will say open the Gmail app on your phone and 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.200 approve this login. So you've been able to do that 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.839 for a while now, but that that little approval process 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.920 still has to go through the internet, where this new 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.240 bluetooth thing is all proximity, so it handshakes. It's very 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.320 it's it's basically very good security. So if you want 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.320 the best security, set up your iPhone as a two 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.320 factor authenticate or a I guess a physical key for 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.440 your Google stuff. I know it sounds very complicated, but 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.040 just no, but that's just it. 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.000 Yeah, I have a Google account. 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.040 You want the most security for your stuff, right, you 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.120 want to you want to keep those tech talks private? 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.680 Yep, Oh that's not it. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:47.560 That's it. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.280 That's it. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.640 One of these days. It's only been what seventy episode? 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.359 Yeah, now like you should really I should probably understanding it. 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.480 But we'll just you know, cor ight, I stop it? 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:57.360 All right? 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:57.839 Go ahead, man? 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.760 All right? So this next question comes from Louise. Actually 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.039 that's some of our photographer. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:07.000 Is this coming from inside? The emails are coming from inside? 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:08.960 Yeah, this is from R. Louis. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.080 Let me read it to me and I'll tell you 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.680 in a second. If this comes from Marlowis. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.200 He wrote this on your Facebook page. So he wrote, 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.080 good morning, mister Demiro. I just saw an app called 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.400 drive Mode. Have you seen it? 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.320 And do you recommend it? 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:25.480 It does sound like Carlouise. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:26.520 It does sound like Carluise. 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:31.159 Could be all right, So drive Mode it is. Let's see. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.480 It's founded in twenty fourteen by entrepreneurs from Zipcar and Tesla, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.640 and it's a hands free messaging and calling app. It 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.479 looks like it's for Android only. Now, there are two 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.400 drive mode apps though there is one from drive mode 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.400 dot Com. Then there's AT and T drive Mode, So 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.200 I'm not sure which one he's referring to, but I 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.480 wonder if AT and T drive Mode is a version 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.719 of drive Mode. But either way, these apps are meant 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.560 to help help you use your phone while you're in 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:07.800 the car and do things like messages, calls, and also music. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.920 So do you need this? I would say probably not 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.960 if you have an Android phone because it's only available 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.880 for Android. If he's talking about Android, then I would say, 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.880 don't worry about this app because you can use Android Auto. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.000 That's what I would use. Now. The thing about Google 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.400 is that they are actually getting rid of the standalone 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.280 Android Auto app and just making Android Auto a part 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.480 of Google Assistant. So I think at this point, I'm 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.680 not sure if that's happened yet, but there will come 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.160 a point in time when you basically say, like hey, Google, 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.120 let's drive, and it will turn your phone into a 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.600 miracle of driving companion. Wow. I don't know if that's 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.960 the case just yet. They previewed it io last year 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.000 in May, and Google takes a really long time to 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.440 like actually implement things for some reason anyway, So I 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.520 would recommend that, I would recommend trying Android Auto first. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.800 But drive Mode the app, just looking at it seems fine. 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.040 It was last updated. This how I size up apps. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.840 It was last updated January ninth, twenty twenty, which means 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.200 it's actively being updated. The only thing is there are 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.080 in app products offered at two ninety nine to three 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.080 ninety nine per item, which I'm guessing some of the 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.840 best features you probably have to pay for, which Android 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.160 Auto probably gives. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.240 You for free, so don't even so I. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.720 Would try Android Auto first, Luise, and then if that 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.560 doesn't work for you, go and do drive Mode. So okay, 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:26.720 that's that's my advice. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.680 Cool questions. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:30.960 All right, let's talk about fippit. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:32.640 You just threw a piece of paper. 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.360 Fippit is releasing a new feature to their monitors or 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.160 their you know whatever you call them, fippit activity trackers, 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.880 activity trackers, and smart watches. This is blood oxygen monitoring. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:50.160 And if you have an issue with sleep, apnea or snoring, 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:55.800 or a breathing issue like asthma, this is really really fantastic. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:00.040 And here's the weird thing. Fipbit devices have had the 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.400 these blood oxygen monitors on them for like two years now, 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.840 since twenty seventeen, they just have not been activated. So 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.840 this feature is not something that you need to go 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.839 buy a new device for. You just have to get 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.360 it activated through your software update. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:14.040 Oh that's nice. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:15.760 This is kind of nice. When do you get something 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.200 for freight? So the devices that have this currently getting 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.240 activated are the Fitbit Ionic, which is a smart watch, 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.760 the Versa which is another type of smart watch, and 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.920 the Charge three Fitness Tracker, which is pretty much their 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.000 most recent one of their most recent models of their 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.760 fitness tracker. So look for it in your app like 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.880 go and make sure you do like the software update 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.840 the firmware update on your device and if you have 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.160 this feature, it's kind of cool. Now, most people with 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.600 blood oxygen it's usually like ninety eight percent to one 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.600 hundred most of the time. Have you ever taken your 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.880 oxygen level? No, it's like a little thing. If you 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.280 have asthma, it's very important. 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.240 I use I mean I had childhood as Okay, yeah. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:54.760 So you don't remember having to take it like a 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.920 little finger monitor where they put your finger in like 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:57.760 a little thing that looks like. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.239 Et Yeah, monitors your Yeah, that sounds familiar. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.760 And so it's it's basically that feature but built into 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.720 the back side of the watch. And I'm not going 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.600 to go into how they're figuring out, but it's kind 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.080 of cool. It's useful, really cool, and it's just one 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.520 more thing to have. Uh. The Apple Watch does not 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:18.280 have this just yet, and so Fitbit's a little ahead 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:18.959 of the game here. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.480 What was I gonna say? They kind of the fipbits 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:23.199 the newer. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.120 Ones look like they look like the Apple Watch. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.800 Yeah, are they cheaper? 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.760 I think. I was actually almost going to buy one 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.120 the other day. It was like, because I had these, 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.200 I had the fippit. Yeah, I. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:35.720 Know, but you want to test it. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.199 I like to test and I wanted to kind of 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.040 see because I had the Fipbit Versa when it first 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.360 came out and I've loved it. It was great. The 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.760 software is just a sore point to me because it's 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.480 just not as good as the Apple Watch, and the 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.160 Apple Watch has a lot of apps that are available 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.360 to it, so almost anything I do. Like, my kids 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.440 were watching Apple TV the other night and on my 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.440 Apple Watch, the show they were watching, the name comes 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.559 up the title and The best part was I can 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.680 pause it right for my watch. So I'm like, kids, 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.560 time to brush your teeth, and like, no, no, And 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.240 I just went in my bedroom and I just tapped 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:05.760 my watch and I went to pause, and they're like, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.080 what just happened? How did that pause? Oh my god? 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.320 I'm like, I'm not telling you crying. Yeah, And so 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.439 it was great. So anyway, so there's a lot of 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.920 If you have an iPhone, there's a lot of ways 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.720 that the Apple Watch sinks to it and works with it. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.960 But if you have Android, I think the verses are great. 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.160 And you know that Google bought or is buying fipp it, 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.480 so there's gonna be Yeah, there's gonna be a lot 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.240 of improvements with fippit in the upcoming year. Or Google 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:33.560 will just run them into the ground like they do 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:34.520 with a lot of other companies. 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.319 We'll say, oh, okay, really, oh yeah, what they do? 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:43.000 Yeah, a lot of these companies they absorbed these little companies. No, no, 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.600 they don't want to get rid of They buy them 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.440 with the best intentions, and then they figure out that 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.760 like just everything has to be dismantled and it ends 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.560 up being like a team buyer. They just bought the 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:53.640 employees that were. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.319 Intental sue, and Sue they fire, Yeah. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.120 They fire everyone else. Say like, I'm not saying this 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.080 is gonna happen, but it's it's just like over and 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.000 over we've seen these large tech companies acquire a company 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.679 and say, oh, we're gonna build all this stuff, We're 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.520 going to all the synergy, and it never comes to fruition. Okay, 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.600 and that's it, Sonia, go ahead, Megan, all right, So 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.000 enough of my complaining. I know. Wow. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:21.320 This next question comes from Amy. I have my stepmom's 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.960 computer that never allowed her to upgrade to Windows ten 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.640 when it was telling her to do so. Now that 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.400 the time is here for non support, she is in 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.960 a panic thinking she can't use the computer after January twentieth. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.360 Is this really true or is it just that she 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.520 won't get any supporter updates anymore for Windows? 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.720 Yeah? Good question. This is in response to Windows seven 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.480 being I don't know if the term is depreciated or 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.240 whatever you want to call it, but it's no longer 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.800 being actively supported by Microsoft. And what that means is 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.400 they are no longer going to put out security updates 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.520 or software updates for this program and It's been around 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.400 for a long time. I think it launched back in 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.680 like two thousand and nine. It's had a good run. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.960 People loved it. People are very hesitant to upgrade to 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.280 Windows eight was like a non starter, Like nobody got 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.560 Windows eight, so there was no Windows nine. And Windows 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.720 ten came out to kind of clear up all the issues, 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.960 but a lot of people were hesitant because Windows ten 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.920 was very different from Windows seven, So a lot of 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.600 people did not upgrade. There was a time when it 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.560 was like I think three years where you could upgrade 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.400 for free, and a lot of people were just like, no, 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.239 this works for me. Everything's working. I don't need to upgrade. 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.280 And now you're talking ten years later since Windows seven 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.880 came out, people are kind of like, uh, okay, now 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.199 what So to answer the question, things don't go away. 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.480 It doesn't stop working. But what it does is it 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.960 puts you at a security risk because now when the 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.719 bad guys find an exploit on Windows seven and they 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.360 want to use it to their advantage, Microsoft is not 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:51.920 going to come. 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.800 To your rescue and making hack the computer. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.880 Basically, now, I'm not saying that's happening today or that's 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.600 even gonna happen tomorrow, but it's a very big put possibility. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.240 And what happens is, let's say you're a company. You're 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.760 running a whole bunch of computers running Windows seven. The 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.640 bad guys find some sort of exploit. Now they're targeting 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.320 machines around the world, and your machines are part of 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.040 that target group because they're not running the latest software. 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.160 And there there's a hole basically on that machine when 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.800 it comes to the security, and so they go for 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.080 that hole to try to get into your network or 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.560 to whatever. And so you don't want that to be you. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.040 So my advice number one is, if you are going 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.120 to continue using this computer, things are going to still 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.360 work just like they did yesterday. It's just that you're 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.560 not going to get updates. And so I would be 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.280 very careful browsing the web. Make sure you're not downloading 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.800 random things that could put you at risk, or clicking 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.120 weird attachments and links and stuff. That's number one. That's 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.560 very basic. I mean, that's like you can't really protect 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.640 yourself just doing that. Second thing is you probably want 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.840 to upgrade your computer to the latest Windows ten software 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.280 or get a new computer completely. And I know it's like, oh, rich, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.440 just buy a new computer, no big deals. Yeah, just 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.240 go out and toss the old one. 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:05.760 Go get a versa watch or whatever. Just always getting 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.240 a new tech item. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.520 So that's my recommendation. There is Uh, there was some 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.480 talk online about a way to still get a free 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.120 Windows ten upgrade, and I think if you Google, you'll 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.840 probably find some blogs that explain how to still do that. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.640 Apparently Windows forgot to conveniently forgot to turn off one 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.640 of these little like links that lets you get a 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.040 free copy of Windows ten, and apparently people are still 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.080 using that link. So if you google free Windows ten upgrade, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.200 you can see how people are using that. I don't 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.640 think it's illegal. It's just like I think Microsoft is 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.880 like slyly letting people still upgrade. 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.600 Oh okay, so she could upgrade. 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.200 Yeah, I don't know. I can't guarantee it. Microsoft's official 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.920 stance is that you can pay one thirty nine to upgrade, 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.520 or you can purchase a new computer. If your computer 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.080 is three years old or older, they say they recommend 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.680 a new computer. Okay, So that's that's the party line, 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:03.680 got it? Now? Speaking of well, I should say apropos 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:04.320 to nothing. 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:09.400 Okay, that term, I'm gonna assume it means like connected 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.040 to the stories. 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:16.200 Not connected to the story apropos of nothing so random, Yeah, exactly. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:17.960 Just going in a new direction, okay, new tangent. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.920 Verizon has launched a new search engine called one Search, 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:24.600 and I'm sure you're just ready to flock to. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.720 Using this, but I already downloaded it. 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.400 It is kind of unique. It's called one search dot 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:33.120 com and it's totally private. That's their party line, so 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:38.480 totally private. No cookies, no retargeting, no personal profiling, which 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.080 means like Megan does not have a profile on this 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.240 site that when you go to that site, then I'll say, oh, 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:48.440 Meghan's back and she's searching for more beauty products. Whatever. Wow, 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.000 what does Megan search for her? 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:50.760 I don't even know. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:55.120 No sharing of personal data with advertisers, no storing of 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.960 user search history, unbiased and unfiltered search results. You know 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.640 that when you search Google, you bring with you everything 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.480 you've ever done with Google to the page. So when 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:09.520 you search for let's just say, you know, an app, okay, 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.960 it may know that you use an iPhone and put 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.240 the iPhone version of the app higher up on those results. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.879 Now I'm just giving that as an example. Or it 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:21.200 may be that when you search, Megan keeps bracing herself. 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.320 Every time you speak, I brace myself. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:30.160 It's pretty typicult. But so like, let's say it knows 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.000 that you live in Los Angeles when you search for 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.680 a restaurant name, and let's say there's that same restaurant 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:35.680 name in Austin. 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.879 They're not going to show me Austin because they're like, 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:39.480 you live in Los Angeles. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.640 You live in Los Angeles. You live in that fancy neighborhood. Yep, 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.800 Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills. You live in that mansion in 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:50.200 Beverly Hills. Now here's the thing that's kind of interesting 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:54.040 about this. They have something called Advanced Privacy Mode, which 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.920 is on by default. And this is the interesting thing. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.240 So your searches are encrypted, but so are your thanks 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.760 to these searches. So let's say you search. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.640 For something, Okay, I search Rich Demurro. 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.639 Let's say you do your daily search for Rich Demurro 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.840 on your computer, right, and I'm like, hey, Megan, can 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.040 I borrow your laptop to go search for something? And 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:14.760 I go and I'm like, let me see what Megan 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.800 was searching for? In her history, and I go to 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.000 your history and it says one search, one search. It's 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.240 called one search, one search, one search, one search, and 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.800 I click those links to see what your search results. 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.160 Nothing comes up. They expire after an hour. So that's 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.600 kind of interesting. So yeah, okay, so let me give 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.080 you a real world example exactly. Let's say you're searching 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.119 for wedding rings because you want to propose to your 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:41.200
