35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: what we need to know. Well, this was a big

36
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: week in tech. I only say that a couple of

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: times a year, but this is one of them. We

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: had two major things happening this week. Number one, Vision Pro.

39
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: Apple's Vision Pro this is their ar VR headset, went

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: on sale for pre order thirty five hundred dollars for

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: this thing, and yes people ordered it, and yes people

42
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: will be amazed when they get this thing on their head.

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to try it on this week.

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: I will talk about my experience in addition to exchanging

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: notes with Joanna later on in the show.

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: But the thing that you wanted me to talk about.

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: First, According to my Instagram is the big Samsung event

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: also happened this week.

49
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: So I was, okay, I will tell you this.

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: I really think Apple was trying to steal the spotlight

51
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: from Samsung this week.

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: Let me tell you how.

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: So during CS if you listen to last week's show,

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: you might remember they put out a press release right

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 1: before CS opened saying hey, we've got the Vision Pro

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: and here's when it's gonna come out. And everyone went

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: nuts over that because we were waiting for that date

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: and time. Well, this week they did two interesting things.

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: They set up schedules or appointments with a lot of

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: people in the media world, a lot of journalists conveniently

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: either right before the Samsung event or right during the

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Samsung event. So for me, for instance, my appointment was

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: first thing on a Tuesday morning when I had to

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: fly up to Samsung in San Jose for the event

65
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon. And at first I was like, oh, this

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: is bad timing. Then I was like, wait a second,

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: interesting timing Apple. So they did that, and you know,

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: so you had a couple of little things. Then during

69
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: the Samsung event, what do they do? They put out

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: a press release that there's a brand new Apple store

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: no other than in South Korea during the Samsung event.

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Did I say Apple event during the Samsung event? I mean,

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: come on, Apple, I love you, but you're just I mean,

74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: and look, I am all about out the hustle, I'm

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: all about the game.

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: I'm all about you know, back and forth. You know.

77
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: This week it was announced that Apple overtook Samsung for

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: the first time in like a decade as the world's

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: largest smartphone maker. I have the the numbers here. In

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, Apple shipped two hundred and thirty four

81
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: point six million units. Samsung shipped two hundred and twenty

82
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: six point six million units, dropping to the number two

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: position with a thirteen point six percent decline. Now you

84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: can imagine that these two companies. Apple was celebrating and

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 1: Samsung they were not very happy, especially on the week

86
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: of their own event happening here in the US.

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: Let me tell you about that event. It was up

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: in San Jose.

89
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: And I love going to these events, not only because

90
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, you get to kind of meet with everyone

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: that you see online and all the tech people that

92
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, but also you get to go hands on

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: you get to feel like how this company does stuff.

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: So they took over the SAP Center. Don't call it SAP,

95
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: that's not it's SAP. They took over the SAP Center

96
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: in San Jose. They took over the hotels and all

97
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms in San Jose, and they actually brought

98
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: me up there. So thank you Samsung, and we had

99
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: a great week. I was up there for three days.

100
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand why I had to be up there.

101
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: But they not only do the event, but they do

102
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: like a dinner, and then they also do the day

103
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: after this big excursion. So you get your phone as

104
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: your review unit and then you have all day to

105
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: kind of go out and use it. And so we

106
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: went to a couple places that I thought were so cool.

107
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: We went to the Winchester Mystery House, which is like

108
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: this wild mansion that has like one hundred and sixty

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: rooms and a lot of them, like staircases that lead

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: to nowhere, all kinds of wild things. If you're in

111
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: San Jose, highly recommend you visit that. That was just

112
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 1: a wild experience. The other thing that was really cool

113
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: is this place called the Mystery Spot up in San Jose,

114
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: or I guess this was a Santa Cruz and that

115
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: is like this weird cabin they built that. You go

116
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: in there and you can't stand up straight. You like

117
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: literally are at a I don't know angle when you

118
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: stand up. It's really really weird. It like defies all

119
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: gravity rules. Now it's funny because my kids and I

120
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: we were up in San Jose or Santa Cruz a

121
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and these were the two places

122
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: we skipped. We're like, ah, those are tourist traps. We're

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: not going to those. Sure enough. They were so much fun.

124
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: I had a blast and I can't wait to bring

125
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: the kids. Anyway. I tell you that because here's what

126
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: you need to know about these new phones. So you've

127
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: got three new phones, S twenty four, S twenty four

128
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: plus S twenty four Ultra. The focus this year is

129
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: all about AI. So you've got various AI features, especially

130
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to translating things. You've got Live Translate.

131
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: You can make a phone call to someone in a

132
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: different language, translates in live time. I know, it sounds

133
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: like a sci fi movie. You can chat with someone

134
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: in text messaging in a different language. It just trans

135
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: describes it and translates it instantly. Then you've got the

136
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: recorder functionality that will transcribe everything that you record on there.

137
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: So if you have a meeting for work, you can

138
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: just let this thing record it. It will not only

139
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: transcribe that meeting, it will also come up with a

140
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: summary of that meeting for you.

141
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: That is really cool.

142
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Then they've got this new feature which I just absolutely love,

143
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: called Circle to Search. You basically press and hold the

144
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: home button on your phone and you can circle or

145
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: scribble over anything that is on your screen, whether it's text,

146
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: whether it's a photo, whether it's a video, whatever it is,

147
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: and it will search Google for that. And this is

148
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: a killer feature that I don't think is going to

149
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: come to the iPhone in quite the same way, but

150
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: it is coming to previous Samsungs, especially the S twenty

151
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: three and also the pixel eight Pixelate Pro. The Pixelate

152
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Pixelate pros happening on January thirty first. The other Samsung

153
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: they said within the next six months. This is a

154
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: amazing feature. You got to check out my Instagram at

155
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: rich On Tech see what that's all about. It is

156
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: seriously cool. Then you've got all of these AI editing features,

157
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: in fact, I just used it to edit a photo

158
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: I tweeted because there's a sign in the background I

159
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: didn't want. And so you can do all kinds of

160
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: great stuff on these pictures with the AI editing tools.

161
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: Seriously cool. I mean, you cannot trust a picture ever. Again,

162
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: You've got someone you take a picture of someone making

163
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: a basket in basketball, and you can literally just press

164
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: and tap and hold on the person as they make

165
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: their shot and just bring them up so they can

166
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: like slam dunk the shot, I mean, and it fills

167
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: in the background and everything. It's really really cool. You

168
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: can resize things, you can do whatever you want. They've

169
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: got this instant slow mo feature, so if you take

170
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: a video, just press a hold on.

171
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: It instantly slows it down.

172
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: So again, that same person making a basket, you didn't

173
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: shoot it in slow mo.

174
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: Now you can just slow it down.

175
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: It uses AI to recreate the frames on that video,

176
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: and it's really really good. And by the way, yes,

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff is what we saw on

178
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: the Pixel eight series, but on Samsung because it's a

179
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: much higher powered phone. It is a lot faster and

180
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: it works a lot better. So yes, you can get

181
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: this stuff on the Pixel, but on the Samsung it

182
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: is definitely better and faster because the phones are just

183
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: more powerful. The other thing, they now seven years of

184
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: security and operating system upgrades upgrades, So if you buy

185
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: a Samsung S twenty four today in twenty twenty four,

186
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: this thing will be supported until am I getting the

187
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: math right?

188
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: Twenty thirty one?

189
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: What say what twenty thirty one, you don't have to

190
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: worry about a new phone. I mean you're gonna be like,

191
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: that's just wild. So seven years of security and operating

192
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: system updates. That's the same thing that Google promised for

193
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: their Pixel phones. So look, we're getting a lot better

194
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: and Apple does about five to six years on their phones.

195
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: So when you buy a phone today, I know it's expensive,

196
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: but you can keep it for a long time and

197
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: then you can give it to someone else and it's

198
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: still going to be secure. Prices on these things. They

199
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: did change one thing. They used to have a ten

200
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: times optical zoom on the previous model. Now it's a

201
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: five times lens, but because they made the lens better,

202
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: it still goes up to ten times optical. It's just

203
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: cropping the shot and it's very complicated, but the reality

204
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: is it's still going to be just fine. You could

205
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: still zoom up to one hundred times and it looks

206
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: even better than before. How much are we talking? Eight

207
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: hundred dollars entry level, one thousand dollars for the middle,

208
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: and thirteen hundred dollars for the S twenty four Ultra

209
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: Whoo start saving now. That's one hundred dollars more than

210
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: last year and one hundred dollars more than the iPhone

211
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: fifteen promacs. All of this is on pre order now.

212
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: If you order now, you get double storage. It's going

213
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: to be available on January thirty.

214
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: First.

215
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about those phones later. And they tease

216
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: something a new ring, a Galaxy ring, which is kind

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: of like a wearable fitness ring. So that's really cool.

218
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520

Speaker 2: I am doing fantastic? How are you?

246
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: I'm good? I got a question, since you're in the

247
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: Los Angeles area, what is this weird stuff coming down

248
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 3: from the sky today?

249
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: You know what? Look, it's called rain. Oh okay, and

250
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: it seems to happen.

251
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 4: Now.

252
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: The good news is you're in Los Angeles. Because you're

253
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, it'd be snow. So you know, it's all good.

254
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: That's why we pay the price to live here.

255
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that price is not cheap. What can I

256
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: help you with?

257
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: Well, I'm getting ready to go out of the country

258
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks, and obviously I can't use

259
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 3: an e SIM on my phone. I have to actually

260
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: physically swap out SIM th each country I go to.

261
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: And I was just wondering, is zero a way even

262
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: if I'm using a foreign SIM that I can still

263
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: text and receive in sentex.

264
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: The folks back here, is this an iPhone or a

265
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: different type of phone.

266
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: No, it's it's a Google pixelill five A five G,

267
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 3: which is not you know, I heard your recommendation a

268
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: long time ago about using a SIMS. Unfortunately I can't

269
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: use anim on this phone.

270
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that might have been before. Is that before

271
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: the SIMS started on those Yes? Okay, all right, So

272
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: you've got so you basically have a carrier here in

273
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: the US, like a T Mobile, Verizon, whatever it is,

274
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: and you're going to pop that SIM card out and

275
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: then you're going to pop in a SIM card for

276
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: the country that you are in correct, Okay, your text

277
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: messages from the other SIM will not still get delivered

278
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: to that phone because they are dependent on that SIM

279
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: card and the I'm trying to think if there's a solution.

280
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: The only solution I can think of is sometimes these

281
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: carriers have an app like a Verizon Messages or a

282
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: T Mobile Digits that will deliver the messages digitally to

283
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: your phone, but that is carrier dependent, and I don't

284
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: know if you have the SIM card in there or

285
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: out of there, if that would still work. Like, like,

286
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: I want to be able to check my my text

287
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: messages on a different device, and it's really tricky to

288
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: be able to do that. So I think it's it's

289
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: one of those things where once that SIM card is out,

290
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: it's just that those texts are not going to come

291
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: through on there.

292
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. I have a backup phone

293
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: that I take with me because I learned the hard way.

294
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: If you drop a phone on the remote island and

295
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: it cracks, you're out of luck.

296
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: But you can.

297
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: Still use a backup phone via Wi Fi. So I

298
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: was just wondering if I bring my backup phone with

299
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: my US domestic SIM in it will I be able

300
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: to text by a Wi Fi Oh yeah?

301
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: Does that?

302
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: Does that phone have Wi Fi calling on it? Oh yeah, yeah,

303
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: turn on the wife. So here's what you do. Turn

304
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: on the Wi Fi call, put the take the sim out,

305
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: put it in that phone. It will activate. You know,

306
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: usually it's pretty automatic. I could just switches over if

307
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: you If you pop the simmon there, it will activate.

308
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: Once that's activated, your old phone will have no service,

309
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: you know. Now you can use that on your trip.

310
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: But this old phone, this other phone, you will turn

311
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: on Wi Fi calling and then once you're over in

312
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: the other country, just make sure your roaming is off

313
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: and it as long as this carrier supports Wi Fi calling,

314
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: your text will come through and your phone calls will

315
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: come through on Wi Fi calling. Now here's the thing.

316
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: I learned this actually from a friend when I was

317
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: in Japan because I had my phone off and I

318
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, I've got my I don't want

319
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: to use my US carrier. He's like, dude, He's like,

320
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: why don't you just turn on your Wi Fi calling.

321
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: I said, well, text messages won't come through. He goes, yeah,

322
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: they will, And sure enough, they came through as soon

323
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: as I activated that Wi Fi calling on that but

324
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: kept the roaming off. So I want to report back though, Terry,

325

Speaker 3: If it's a it's called Fiji.

00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well, enjoy Fiji.

330
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: It's actually even warmer than southern California right now.

331
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: I've had water from there and it's it's pretty tasty,

332
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,440

00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: You know, the Fiji water is so good.

336
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: Even my kids, My kids are nine to twelve, and

337
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: even they know the quality of Fiji water. When they're

341
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: raising that they're drinking Fiji water. When I was a kid,

342
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: I drank out of the hose right and it was

343
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: cold and delicious, And you know what Fiji water is

344
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: very is very similar.

345
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: I guess.

346
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: You know you find things at cs. I'm gonna give

347
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: you a recommendation of a product that I really found

348
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: there and I've been using ever since. It's called the

349
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: Gator Grip. This thing is so simple, it's so easy.

350
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: It's literally a almost like a clothes pin for your phone,

351
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: and it has a very simple functionality. You put this

352
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: thing on your phone and you can now prop up

353
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: your phone so you can watch videos on it. It's

354
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: like fifteen bucks rich on Tech dot tv slash Shop

355
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: if you want the link to that. I love when

356
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: I find little things like this did.

357
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: I actually use?

358
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, we are going to talk to

359
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: Ray Wong about Yes twenty four from Samsung.

360
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: You're listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich

361
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: on Tech.

362
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology at

363
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Triple eight Rich one oh one. We are on location

364
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: in San Jose, California, where Samsung held their Galaxy Unpacked event.

365
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: This is where they unveiled the S twenty four lineup

366
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: in the audience along with myself, Ray Wong, tech reviewer

367
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: at Inverse dot com.

368
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: Ray, thanks so much for joining me.

369
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me Rich.

370
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: All right, so you've been following Samsung for a long time.

371
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: You know we've got these new phones. This was all

372
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: about AI. Is that a buzzword or is it actually.

373
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: Happening on these devices?

374
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 4: It's the biggest buzzword, not just on Samsling devices but

375
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 4: across consumer tech. And honestly, I think the features are

376
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 4: very useful and compelling this year.

377
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: So first off, the event, what did you think of

378
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: the actual event?

379
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: It was at the SAP Center in San Jose.

380
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: They bring in people from all over the world, but

381
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: it was just focused on the phones, with one little tease.

382
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: For a new wearable ring.

383
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 7: Yeah.

384
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 4: Usually Samsung's past Unpacked events are full of theatrics, and

385
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 4: you know their spectacles, and you come here for the

386
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 4: kind of like big showy kind of tricks.

387
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 6: But honestly, this year.

388
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 4: It it did seem like a little subdued, a little

389
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 4: more tame, got Mister Beast kind of showing up virtually,

390
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: and then Pokemone showed up in person.

391
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 6: So I guess those are two of their spot guests.

392
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: Now, these phones live translate a lot of translation features,

393
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: so this live translate feature, They've got this interpreter feature

394
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: where you can talk to someone and kind of see

395
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: things on screen for each language. And then with text messages,

396
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: they've got chat assist, which translates your text messages into

397
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of different languages.

398
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: So with this phone, you.

399
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: Can almost communicate with someone else speaking a different language

400
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: without knowing that language correct.

401
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 4: Basically, somebody calls you, and if they're speaking a different language,

402
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 4: you can select their language and you can speak back,

403
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 4: and it'll automatically translate your voice into another language and

404
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: vice versa. Apparently also works on a PAYFA or a landline.

405
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 4: From what they said, I tried the feature out yesterday.

406
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: It seems pretty pretty cool, pretty useful. Probably useful for

407
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 4: like if you're calling a restaurant and they're speaking a

408
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 4: different language, or you're in a different country you're traveling.

409
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: Like I said earlier, I think there's a lot of

410
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 4: there's a lot of utility and the Galaxy Ai features.

411
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: A lot of past sam sum features have been like

412
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 4: pretty gimmicky. They'll have to like throw everything at the

413
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 4: wall and hope something sticks. It's usually a feature that

414
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: you tried once and then never remember that exists again.

415
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 4: With these Galaxy Ai features, Samsung has somehow like become

416
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: more thoughtful. There are features that I think a lot

417
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 4: of users will actually use on the daily And I

418
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 4: actually found myself saying, Wow, that's actually pretty cool, like

419
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 4: over and over after every single one of my like

420
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 4: AI demos.

421
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: A couple other features, this voice to text, so this

422
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: is the future that's been on the Pixel. I find

423
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: it very handy as a journalist to be able to

424
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: just transcribe anything that I'm hearing. So now that that's

425
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: coming to Samsung, do you think people will find use

426
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: in that the average person that's not a journalist.

427
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 6: One hundred percent?

428
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 4: You know, as a journalist myself, I use that recorder

429
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 4: app on Pixel all the time. It's great for transcribing

430
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 4: like long interviews. Pixel phones are pretty limited in terms

431
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: of like sales, and I think that's just just having

432
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 4: this feature on a device that is sold in more

433
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 4: in more numbers is going to expand the utility of it.

434
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 6: Honestly, I think that Samsung actually goes.

435
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: A little further.

436
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 4: There's a way to translate the trend inscriptions after the fact,

437
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 4: so they kind of go above Google a little bit,

438
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: and I think I'm gonna be very excited to try

439
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 4: that out, especially when I'm interviewing people.

440
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 6: We speak in foreign languages all right.

441
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 8: Now.

442
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: One of the biggest features is this circle to search,

443
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: which I think this is pretty incredible. I think this

444
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: is really probably one of the best uses of Google

445
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. And we've had lens in the past,

446
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: but this is a feature that allows you to search

447
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: anything on your screen, or just circle anything on your

448
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: screen or scribble on it and it will search Google

449
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: for that. Tell me about your thoughts on this feature

450
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: and trying it out.

451
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 6: Like I said, this is going to be a feature.

452
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: I think everyone's going to find some kind of utility

453
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: out of basically you just find an image, find some texts,

454
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 4: find a video. You have to pause a video for

455
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 4: but then you basically hold down the home button and

456
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: then you circle the item and then it a little

457
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 4: car pops up from the bottom and it shows you

458
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: what it's discovered.

459
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 6: I tried out on a pair of sneakers.

460
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 4: That I have yesterday and it was able to find

461
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: my limited edition Nike's.

462
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 6: Was genuinely impressed.

463
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 4: It is easy to use, it was fast, and I

464
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 4: think it's gonna give a boost to like shopping. People

465
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 4: are gonna find things in sid of like let's say videos,

466
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 4: and then just just have a quick link.

467
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 2: To buy it.

468
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Also, this is a big differentiator between iPhone and Android, Like,

469
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: this is a feature that you can only get on Android.

470
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: I think it's only going to be available to be

471
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: done on Android. The way it's kind of, you know,

472
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: taking over the whole screen. So do you think that

473
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: will get people interested in Android?

474
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 6: Man, that's a tough question.

475
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: I think there's just so much stickiness to iPhone and iOS.

476
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: You know, there's so many great Google apps out there

477
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 4: on Android. But people who buy and use iPhones, they're

478
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 4: willing to like kind of like work around that and

479
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 4: open apps, you know, do a couple of more extra taps.

480
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: So I don't think iPhone switchers or I don't think

481
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 4: iPhone users will switch to Android just because of this

482
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 4: singular feature unless you're like searching.

483
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 6: A lot all day all the time.

484
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: But I think it will make Android a more compellent,

485
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 4: more compelling platform.

486
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: The AI features on this it's a lot of the

487
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: stuff that we've seen on the Pixel with regards to

488
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: photo editing. So you can delete items, you can regenerate backgrounds,

489
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: you can make items bigger in your photos. Everything gets

490
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: this special AI water mark, which I thought was interesting too.

491
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: So what do you make of these AI photo editing features?

492
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 4: There's some that are pretty practical, some that are pretty gimmicky.

493
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: I think the object eraser and like the that kind

494
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 4: of like magic eraser like features a little bit gimmicky.

495
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: I don't really like tampering with my images too much,

496
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 4: Like I have no intention of like really like lifting

497
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 4: a person that's flying in the air and like moving

498
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 4: them like a little bit higher in the photo, or

499
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 4: like adding and generating some kind of fil for like

500
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 4: you know, a background or a foreground. I think the

501
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: the features that I'm most excited for are like when

502
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 4: it pertains to the camera or like instance, low mo

503
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: where you can turn a regular video into a slow

504
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: motion video by adding by using AI to like add

505
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: extra frames. It's super smooth, it looks really great. I

506
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: think that one's really cool. And the ones that are

507
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 4: the features are the AI features are a little less sexy, honestly,

508
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 4: I think will connect more with users. Features like being

509
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: able to remove a reflection, remove a shadow that's maybe

510
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: like cast over your face, Like we've all held selfie,

511
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 4: we've all held our phones in front of like the sun,

512
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: and you know, you get that shadow on your face,

513
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 4: and just being able to automatically remove that shadow off

514
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 4: your face is.

515
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 6: Like pretty cool.

516
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: It's easy to see these features in a demo and think, oh, yeah,

517
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 4: it works.

518
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 6: Of course it works right like it's in a controlled environment.

519
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 4: But being able to actually try it out myself with

520
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 4: my own like pictures and see that it works really well,

521
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 4: that really like surprised me.

522
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: The ring.

523
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: They had a big surprise at the end where they

524
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: mentioned this Galaxy ring.

525
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: It's a wearable. It looks like the Aura ring.

526
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: No details though, So do you think we have room

527
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: for another wearable? Do you think this is something that

528
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: people are looking to put on their finger.

529
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 4: Well, Rich, I'm wearing an Uher ring right now, and

530
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 4: I've been wearing one for many years before this, before

531
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 4: it even existed, I wore another one. There's definitely room

532
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 4: for more wearables.

533
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 9: You know.

534
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 4: I'm not wearing an Apple watch right now or any

535
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 4: kind of smart watch, mainly because I like wearing a regular,

536
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 4: classic mechanical watch.

537
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 6: But I also don't want to.

538
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 4: Lose that functionality being able to track my heart rate,

539
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 4: you know, get like stress level tracking, sleep tracking. As

540
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 4: somebody who's been wearing a smart ring for like many years,

541
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 4: like I want to say, like four or five years,

542
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 4: It's like a big finally for Samsung. I'm surprised it

543
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 4: took them so long to like as Againta's category.

544
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: Any other takeaways from this experience at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked

545
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

546
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is the beginning of a new

547
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: trend for smartphones. You know, we've kind of peaked, you know,

548
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 4: phones have kind of peaked in terms of like hardware design,

549
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 4: in terms of like software design, and AI is kind

550
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: of like new way to kind.

551
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 6: Of give it a second act.

552
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 4: I was a little skeptical about it when Google announced

553
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 4: the as system with bard features and AI features of

554
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 4: their own on the Pixel eight series, But I think

555
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 4: I'm more convinced now now that Samsung has done it.

556
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: They've done it in a very thoughtful way, a very

557
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 4: functional and very practical way. Even even a company like

558
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 4: Apple is gonna have to launch your own like generative

559
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: AI features on the iPhone sooner or later because you

560
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 4: can only rely on hardware for so long. I expect

561
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 4: to see a lot of AI features roll out into

562
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 4: every phone basically in the next twelve months and beyond all.

563
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,080

Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

573
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Welcome back to

574
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you

575
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: talking technology. Not sure if you're listening or if you've

576
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: noticed a theme. If you're listening live on the radio,

577
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 1: we're doing an all nineties theme today, some of my

578
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: favorite nineties songs. It all stems from my peloton ride.

579
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: This morning.

580
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: I took a nineties ride and I was like, wow,

581
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: I forgot this music existed and I really like it.

582
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: And so there you go. I hope you enjoy it.

583
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one on one is the phone number

584
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

585
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: And just to put a cap on this whole Samsung stuff,

586
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: the AI features that I was talking about will come

587
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: to older devices. So if you have this is my advice.

588
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: If you have a Samsung Galaxy S twenty two or earlier,

589
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: this S twenty four model is a great update. If

590
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: you have an S twenty three, you don't really need

591
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: to upgrade. The AI feature will come to your phone

592
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: in the first half of twenty twenty four. S twenty three,

593
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: S twenty three plus S twenty three Ultra, S twenty

594
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: three f E, the Galaxy Z Fold five, the Z

595
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: Flip five, and the Galaxy Tab S nine series are

596
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: all getting the Galaxy AI features in the first half

597
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. It's also coming the circle to

598
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: search feature I was talking about that I love. That's

599
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: coming to the Pixel eight Pixel eight Pro as well

600
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: on January thirty first, and I'm assuming other phones later.

601
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Shar in the Colorado Springs Shar you're

602
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: on with rich Heller.

603
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 10: Rich My first of all, I apologize that my thought

604
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 10: is I'm probably not going to be giving you the

605
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 10: information in the exact order that you need, but I

606
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 10: will certainly do my best here. This is what has transpired.

607
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 10: I had an old Apple iPhone and I subsequently purchased

608
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 10: Apple iPhone fourteen pro right, and I was going through

609
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 10: a provider Total by Verizon, and I contacted their customer

610
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 10: service number and you know, asked that they switched the

611
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 10: number that I had associated with the old phone to

612
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 10: the new phone. Now, mind you, the old phone had

613
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 10: a physical sim. The new phone has an e sim.

614
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 10: So anyway, the individual claimed that they had transferred the number. Well,

615
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 10: come to find out that that service I guess ended

616
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 10: on my old phone, like any a day or so

617
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 10: after that. So anyway, the person told me, well, the

618
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 10: new number should be activated on the new phone, you know,

619
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 10: just activate the service on the new phone and you'll

620
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 10: be good to go. Well, I tried that and it

621
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 10: didn't work. And so subsequently what ended up happening was

622
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 10: I no longer had a phone number associated with the

623
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 10: old phone, didn't have service with the old phone, and

624
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 10: now with the new phone there was I had activated

625
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 10: service there, but it has not been associated with that phone.

626
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so how can I help? What's what's the problem?

627
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 10: So my question is what do I need to do

628
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 10: in order to activate service on that phone when I've

629
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 10: already purchased the service.

630
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: So you don't have a phone at this point, you

631
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: don't have a phone number on this phone?

632
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 10: Correct? They told me that they had transferred the old

633
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 10: phone number to the new phone, and that hasn't happened

634
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 10: because they had been telling me, well, send us a

635
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 10: text message to verify. Well, I can, because it doesn't

636
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 10: have service.

637
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

638
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: So the new phones you've got, You've got both phones

639
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: in your possession, and the new phone does not have service,

640
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: and neither does the old phone.

641
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 10: Correct.

642
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So this number, this is what's called porting, and

643
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: this number is stuck in like you know, fantasy land,

644
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: somewhere out there. It's in the clouds right now? Is

645
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: it the same phone number that you're trying to get?

646
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: Okay? So what you need to do? And you're sure?

647
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a iPhone, of course it works with this.

648
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: So how many people have you talked to at total

649
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: by Verizon?

650
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 10: Oh? I probably spoke about fifteen different people.

651
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: Oh, Mike, fifteen different people.

652
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 10: It's insane.

653
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: Well, that is insane. Okay.

654
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: So I will tell you when I had this issue

655
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: and my phone went dead and I was freaking out

656
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: because my phone number was in La La land somewhere

657
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: stuck between two phones. The person literally was going around

658
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: in circles asking me for all this information, this and

659
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: that and none of it worked right. And I kept

660
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: calling back until I got someone that literally did this

661
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: process in thirty seconds. They knew what they were doing

662
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: and it worked properly. Okay, I think you either need

663
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: to escalate this to the next person. I know Total

664
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: by Verizon is sort of a prepaid system. Can you

665
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: go into a Verizon store with that service to help

666
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: to get customer service or know?

667
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: Is this all online?

668
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 10: Well my thought is I think I'm going to be

669
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 10: forced to do that. I mean, I contacted Verizon business.

670
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: No, they wouldn't they wouldn't do it. It's this Total. Yeah,

671
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: Total by Verizon is a prepaid service. Usually when you

672
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: go with a prepaid or Envy and oh, you know,

673
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 1: you're definitely you should be getting the quality of service

674
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: you expect.

675
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes that doesn't happen.

676
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: So Charp number one, I want you to stay on

677
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: hold and give your number to UH to Kim and

678
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: I will I know people at at Total and I

679
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: will see if I can get some help on the

680
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: back end here. I appreciate it because this shouldn't be happening.

681
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, this is I love when people save money.

682
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: And clearly you've made a decision that you can use

683
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: this service and it's good for it fits you and

684
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: it works exactly. But you shouldn't have to be stranded

685
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: without a phone number for so long. So okay, what

686
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: I think you should do is, when you get off

687
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: the phone with me, call Total one more time, and

688
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: you have to be very clear about your question to

689
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: the customer service agent number one, say I'd like to

690
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: get this escalated to a supervisor. And you say, I

691
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: tried transferring my phone my phone number from one phone

692
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: to the other, and it has not arrived on my

693
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: new phone. I need someone to go in and make

694
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: sure that this is all properly provisioned so that my

695
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: phone gets the number on it.

696
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: And that's all you do.

697
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: You're doing a You're not even porting the number really,

698
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: because are you going from total to Total?

699
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 10: Yes?

700
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're just literally switching devices. So say I

701
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: switch devices and my new device the phone number has

702
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: not showed up on there yet, and you say, I

703
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: just need to get this phone number activated on the

704
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: new device. You basically give them the e SIM there's

705
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: like a code on the phone.

706
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 10: And that's the other what they keep asking me for.

707
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 10: An I M the yes yes, and the I am

708
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 10: there isn't an I M the I there is associated

709
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 10: with the thought there is.

710
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 2: It's the I M I two.

711
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: Okay. So the two things you need to give them

712
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: are the IME I two and perhaps the E I D.

713
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: Those are the two pieces of information if you give

714
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: them the regular I AM I that is for you said,

715
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: this is an iPhone fourteen correct pro pro And I'm

716
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: trying to remember if they went on SIM with a

717
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: fourteen I can't it is.

718
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: It is okay.

719
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 10: When I spoke to the individual's business with Verizon, he

720
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 10: said that it was SIM period.

721
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So iPhone fourteen pro only has an SIM, So

722
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: just give them the uh either I am I should

723
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: actually work with this one. But but give them the

724
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: I M E I two. That's the one that is

725
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: the is the dedicated SIM and that should work. So

726
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: uh bashar, I'm gonna put you on hold, give Kim

727
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: your info and phone number, and I will see what

728
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: I can do. But I want to follow up on

729
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: this and make sure because this should not be happening.

730
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 10: I appreciate that. I mean, it's been exasperating. And then

731
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 10: that's the other thing they would tell me one moment

732
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 10: we are going to escalate this to a supervisor, and

733
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 10: then they would keep me on the line for fifteen

734
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 10: twenty minutes and then tell me we're going to escalate

735
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 10: it to corporate.

736
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: And I knew it was no and this this isn't Look,

737
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: this is not an escalation. It's activating a phone. It's simple.

738
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: It takes literally thirty seconds when it works. So clearly

739
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: someone needs to train these people to understand what you're

740
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,479
Speaker 1: trying to do. But the words I'm telling you, you're

741
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: just switching devices. It's just a device swap and you're

742
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: going from a physical sim to an e SIM. Very

743
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: very simple procedure. It should not be a problem. Thanks

Speaker 1: sixty thousand of you dealing with my sometimes just silly stuff.

759
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: Like last night, I'm complaining I couldn't find anything to

760
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: watch on all the streaming apps I had, and I

761
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: got frustrated, so I said, life was so much easier

762
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: with a list of DVR recordings. Hopping between a dozen

763
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: different streaming apps searching for something to watch is really

764
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: getting old. Yeah, I mean I subscribe to all these apps,

765
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: and we sit there, we order the pizza, We're sitting

766
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: in front of the TV. We got everything ready to go,

767
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: and we can't find something to watch. We start a

768
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: movie fifteen minutes and we're like.

769
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 2: Where's this going? You got to stop it?

770
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: And then we went to another movie and then we

771
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: fall asleep. So that's how it works in the DeMuro household.

772

Speaker 1: Let's go to Gina. Gina in Venice. You're on with Rich.

Speaker 1: When I talk about San Jose. Yes, I don't know

778

783
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: Original Jo's.

784
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 2: And I yeah, it was great. I had a great

785
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: time there. All right. What can I help you with, Gina.

786
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 7: So I'm wondering. I'm an Apple person, I have across

787
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 7: the the all platforms, and I'm wondering if there's a

788
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 7: way to think applications that I have like to sink

789
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 7: Gmail across all applications. So when I I've read it

790
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 7: a message or email and on my iPhone and delete it,

791
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 7: it's all also deleted on my Mac or my.

792
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 11: iPad or whatever.

793
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, So there's a couple of ways you can

794
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 2: do this.

795
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: If you download, like specifically for Gmail, if you download

796
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: the Gmail app, you can install that on your various devices.

797
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: And if you delete a message on one device, whether

798
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: it's the web, whether it's the iPhone, whether it's the iPad,

799
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: it will delete on all the other devices as well.

800
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: If you're using the Apple Mail app, as long as

801
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: you set up the email using kind of like their flow,

802
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: which if you haven't done this in a while, like

803
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: if you set it up a long time ago, you

804
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: might have. You might have set it up as what's

805
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: called pop three. And if you're setting up as pop three,

806
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: that means that the email is kind of downloaded to

807
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: your device and everything happens locally.

808
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: So you want to set it up as what's.

809
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: Called imap im ap, and when you make a change there,

810
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: it is reflected on the server, which means it'll be

811
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: reflected anywhere else. So if it's not deleting, like let's

812
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: say you've got the mail app on your phone, you

813
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: delete an email from Gmail and it doesn't delete, then

814
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: that means I would go in. I would delete my

815
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: entire email account from the mail app and set it

816
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: up fresh, and your email will be safe because it's

817
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: it's going to be on the server from Gmail. Yes, yeah,

818
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: I think the Gmail app is the easiest way to go.

819
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: That's what I use because it does work across everything

820
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: perfect and I.

821
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 7: Learned stuff And I have one te quick question famous

822
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 7: last words on this show, Gina, I know when you

823
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 7: click the box trust this device, yes, does it?

824
00:39:59,600 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 2: Yes?

825
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: You should only click that box when you are attaching

826
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: the device a trust the device to your computer or like,

827
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: if you see that message when you are plugging into

828
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: like an outlet at the airport, run as far as

829
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: you can, because that is why they put that there.

830
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: That is only for your phone to your computer, and

831
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: that is because it means that you can transfer data

832
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: between those two things. If you see that message anywhere else,

833
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: if you're at a library, public computer, you do not

834
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: want to do that. You don't want to trust that device.

835
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: Your device can still charge off of that computer or

836
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: that outlet, but it will not send data. So trust

837
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: this device is Take that very seriously when you see it.

838
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: That's there for a reason.

839
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 7: All right, Thank you so much. Rit I really appreciate

840
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 7: your program and all the information you provide.

841
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,480

00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: to Okay, yeah, fine on YouTube.

846
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 2: That's fine.

847
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to John and Temecula. John, you're on with Rich, Hey.

848
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 12: Rich, question, I just purchased a Samsung A fifteen to

849
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 12: five G. Okay, I know it's ain song. We wife

850
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 12: and I both just use phones, you know, from basic

851
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 12: phone texting whatever.

852
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: Sure the A is there is there sort of budget

853
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: series phones that are typically at a lower price.

854
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, definitely. And we had the A thirty two to

855
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 12: five g's prior.

856
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is a great phone. That's the A lineup

857
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: is great. This is I think this is actually like

858
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: the world's top selling phone. But okay, keep going.

859
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 11: Yeah.

860
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 12: So so anyways, we live in a remote area and

861
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 12: we are service provider's T Mobile, and we've been using

862
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 12: for about seven years the T Mobile four G cell.

863
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: Spot Okay, right, the like the in house thing.

864
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 9: Yes, okay, So, and we.

865
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 12: Had the I've had the LG phones, we had A

866
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 12: twelve phones, and now this is the first phone that

867
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 12: won't connect to that cell spot. Okay, We've I've been

868
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 12: on the phone for at least a couple hours with

869
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 12: T Mobile people and they couldn't help me. So I'm

870
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 12: kind of just thinking I'm going to be stuck with

871
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 12: Wi Fi calling.

872
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, so, so it sounds so okay,

873
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: So you don't have any T Mobile service at all

874
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: at the house.

875
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: Correct, zero, even with the old phones.

876
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 12: Correct.

877
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: Okay, But you were using this, uh, this range extender

878
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: that you plug into your Internet and it puts out

879
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: a signal that a four G signal that the phone

880
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: recognizes and then uses that to make calls.

881
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 12: Yeah, basically anybody that walks in the house. Oh yeah,

882
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 12: the mobile will now have service.

883
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: Okay. And this phone, so does this phone not have

884
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: four G service at all? Support four G?

885
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 12: I don't know. That's a good question.

886
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

887
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: So usually in the settings, if you go into the

888
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: settings on your phone, I want you to try something.

889
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: Go into settings on your phone and under connections it'll say,

890
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: let's see mobile networks, and you can my on my

891
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: phone it says allow five G service and allow two

892
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: G service. So if I turn off allow five G service,

893
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: see if your phone defaults to four G.

894
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: So mine just went back down to four G.

895
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 12: Okay, So go into connections, you said.

896
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's settings connections and then mobile networks and

897
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: you see where it says allow five G service.

898
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 2: There, yeah, turn that off. Okay, and now does your

899
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 2: phone show lt E up at the top.

900
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 12: No, it says allowed two G.

901
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: Okay, leave that on. Okay, but just turn off the

902
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: five G one I did, and does it come up

903
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: lt E No? Okay?

904
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: Interesting, So I wonder if this phone I find it

905
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: hard to believe this phone would not have a four

906
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: G antenna inside. You might want to give it a

907
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 1: second to see if it picks up that signal.

908
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 12: So what what has happened with this phone? Which is

909
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 12: kind of crazy? If I restart the phone, excuse me,

910
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 12: it'll connect with the cell spot for maybe at the

911
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 12: most it's been like seven or eight minutes, okay, and

912
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 12: then it disconnects.

913
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 2: Okay.

914
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: Well, this phone does support four G, so it could

915
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: be okay. Well, the bottom line is, John, honestly, the

916
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: world has moved to Wi Fi calling, so I see

917
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: no reason. If you can turn on Wi Fi calling

918
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: on this phone and it works in your house, you're

919
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: going to get your phone calls and you're gonna get

920
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: your messages the same way. Now for other people that

921
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: come in, if their phone still work with this little

922
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: you know, mobile extender that you have, that's fine. But

923
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: I think the bottom line is that a this phone

924
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: should work because I'm looking at the specs and it

925
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: does have four G service, so it should work with

926
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: that extender. Sometimes you have to register the phone with

927
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: the extender for it to work. Since you're telling me

928
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: other people have been able to come into your house

929
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: and use it, that's interesting because typically you have to

930
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: register the phones with this extender for it to work,

931
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: as far as I've experienced in the past. But I

932
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: think if you're fine with the Wi Fi calling and

933
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: it works, toggle that on. You'll be fine. Everything's going

934
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: to work pretty much the same. Make sure that you

935
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: set your nine to one one address in the settings

936
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: when you set up the Wi Fi calling, and this

937
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: phone should perform pretty similar to the way it would

938
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: with the extender, if not better, as long as you

939
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: have a good signal. But there really shouldn't be any

940
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: reason why this phone doesn't work with this extender, unless

941
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, everything is just sort of out of date

942
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: with this extender and it's just not recognizing it on

943
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,959
Speaker 1: the new phone. But I would just use Wi Fi calling, John,

944
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: and when you're out of the house, your phone should

945
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: work as it typically would on that T Mobile network.

946
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call today out there in Temecula. Verizon

947
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned they are raising prices on some older unlimited plans.

948
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: Verizon is increasing prices by four dollars a month per

949
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: line on older plans starting March first. The plans five

950
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: G Get More, five G Play More, five G Do More,

951
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: and five G Start. So what do they want you

952
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: to do? They want you to go to the new

953
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: unlimited plans Unlimited Plus, Unlimited, Welcome Ultimate Unlimited. Pricing for

954
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: the new plans is not changing. But again, if you

955
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: see this on your bill, which you will see starting

956
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: March first, that's what it's all about. It's because you're

957
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 1: on an older unlimited plan. I would personally do the math,

958
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: see how much your old plan is, see how much

959
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: the new unlimited plans are, and switch if the math

960
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 1: does not work out. This was reported by c Net. Again,

961
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: Verizon increasing pricing plans by four dollars a month on

962
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: some older unlimited plans starting on March first. If you

963
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: have a five G Get More, five G Play More,

964
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: five G Do More, and five G Start, you might

965
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 1: see this increase. You'll probably get an email from Verizon

966
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: explaining that you're getting this new increase. All right, coming up,

967
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the uh Apple Vision pro.

968
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you my experience.

969
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: I put this thing on last week and it's quite incredible.

970
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: It's also quite expensive. I will explain what you need

971
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: to know about the new headset from Apple eighty eight

972

Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Wow, this song was

976
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: way ahead of its time. Now they're driving Uber and

00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: Uh do you know the Way to San Jose by

982

Speaker 2: All right, Kim.

984
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: You know when Kim gets fired up is when she

985
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: says to me, like, hey, rich, how the heck did

986
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: you not know that song?

987
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: And I said, I don't know.

988
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's things that have evaded me in this lifetime,

989
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: but now I know, and I can't wait to listen

990
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: to that again.

991
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to rich on Tech.

992
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: My name is rich DeMuro eighty to eight rich one

993
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 1: on one eighty eight seven four to two four one

994
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 1: zero one. I want to get into the Apple Vision

995
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: pro but I got my main man, Micah here from Maine.

996
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: You got a suggestion on how to get text messages

997
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: in Fiji.

998
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 13: Yes, I do three or four of them actually, oh mydad.

999
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 13: One is Yeah, there are a number of different ways.

1000
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 13: If you're a T Mobile or a Google Fi customer,

1001
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 13: you get text messages internationally at no additional charge. So

1002
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 13: that's a very simple way to do it. If you're

1003
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 13: not with those two companies, if you have a Google

1004
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 13: Voice phone number, you can get text messages, send and

1005
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 13: receive through your Gmail account and that makes it very

1006
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 13: easy and you just need to have data that way.

1007
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 13: You also get data with Google Fi and T Mobile,

1008
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 13: so you have the data automatically, and if you want

1009
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 13: to make phone calls, you know, as a travel writer

1010
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 13: and a travel podcaster, I have an UMA landline at

1011
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 13: home specifically so that I can put the UMA app

1012
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 13: on my phone and use data to send and make

1013
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 13: and receive phone calls from the USA at no additional

1014
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 13: charge to my regular landline phone number.

1015
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: Well, it's certainly gotten easier. Sure sounds that way. Thanks

1016
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: for the suggestions, Micah that you know, look, there's so

1017
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: many ways of doing this. I think that at the

1018
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, you either have to be set

1019
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: up in advance with some of those things. I think personally,

1020
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: Google Voice has been just incredible, Like I've had my

1021
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: Google Voice number forever because of these reasons. And I

1022
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: know people that travel a lot love Google Fi because

1023
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: you basically get service everywhere. It's very inexpensive, it's very flexible.

1024
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: And also T Mobile is very good with the international

1025
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: add ons with their plan or I shouldn't even say

1026
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: add on a lot of times, it's just included in there.

1027
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: But I will say in general, international travel has gotten

1028
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: a lot easier, a lot better. And again for most

1029
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: of the modern phones, if you have e SIM, you've

1030
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: got that dual SIM card situation on most of the

1031
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: modern phones. The caller originally did not have the dual

1032
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: SIM and that's what made it very tricky. But he

1033
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: had an extra phone, so makes it kind of easy.

1034
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Micah in main there. All right, let's

1035
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: talk about the Apple Vision pro. So I had the

1036
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to try this on. This is Apple's thirty five

1037
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars augmented reality headset. And so first thing I do,

1038
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: I get into this thing, they scan my face with

1039
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: an iPhone app and that helps them understand the size

1040
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: of the light seal, and that helps keep the light out. Now,

1041
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 1: when I put this thing on, I actually had a

1042
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: lot of light bleeding through, and so that actually did

1043
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: not work very well. But the first time I tried

1044
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: it on, it was very There's not a lot of

1045
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 1: light coming in. So the other thing is the Okay,

1046
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: so I get in there and they immediately start showing me.

1047
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: You put this thing on, and you see the room

1048
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: that you're in. I was like in a living room

1049
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: that they set up at the Apple headquarters, and immediately

1050
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 1: it looked like I was just looking at the living

1051
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: room I was in. But of course they trick you

1052
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: and it starts writing in three D the word hello,

1053
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: floating in the middle of your eyesight, and that was

1054
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: really cool, And that's like kind of your like OMG

1055
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: moment with this thing. You're like, this is really cool

1056
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: because I just thought I was sitting in the room

1057
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: I was in and looking through glasses. No, I'm looking

1058
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: through a camera that is showing me the room. And

1059
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: then you start to kind of move around and all

1060
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: you use with this headset is your fingers and your eyes,

1061
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: so you literally look with your eyes where you want

1062
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: to select on the screen, and then just tap your

1063
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: fingers together, pinch your fingers together, and that selects it.

1064
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: So that alone is just such a breakthrough with this

1065
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: intuitive gesture that you use to browse this thing. And

1066
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: when I'm talking, it's like Minority Report. It really is,

1067
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: because you just move things around, like if you want

1068
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: to take the window, you kind of pinch the edge,

1069
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: you make it bigger, you make it smaller, you kind

1070
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: of grab the window, move it over to your side

1071
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: of view. You can have a bunch of windows open.

1072
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: You can look around and see those windows just floating

1073
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: in mid air. It is quite incredible. Then we tried

1074
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: out some movie apps, so we looked at first we

1075
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,919
Speaker 1: looked at some pictures and videos in spatial video, which

1076
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: Apple doesn't call it three D, but it's really just

1077
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: three D. They call it spatial because you remember three D

1078
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: TV's bombed. But looking at pictures and videos in three

1079
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: D is just quite incredible. So you can take pictures

1080
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: and videos on your iPhone in three D and then

1081
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: look at them inside this environment.

1082
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 2: Really really cool.

1083
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: How often are you gonna do that, I don't know,

1084
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: but it's still pretty cool to have it I watched

1085
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: Super Mario World in three D.

1086
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 2: It was great.

1087
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like being in an Imax theater in

1088
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: your living room because it's just an enormous screen in

1089
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: front of you. You can make it as big as you

1090
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: want or as small as you want. Let's see what

1091
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: else do we do?

1092
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 2: Oh?

1093
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: Then I took a part a F one car in

1094
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 1: front of me. So they have this giant F one

1095
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: car in three D. I can move it around, I

1096
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: can zoom in, I can pop the wheel off, I

1097
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 1: can pop all the parts off.

1098
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 2: So I just.

1099
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 1: Imagined that this could be really useful for teaching as well. Again,

1100
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred dollars for this. It is incredible, but

1101
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: it is very very expensive. Pre orders are open now.

1102
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: It is in stores February second. Coming up Joanna Stern

1103
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: from The Wall Street Journal and I will talk about

1104
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: our experiences inside the Vision Pro.

1105
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 2: Welcome back to rich On Tech.

1106
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

1107
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eighty eight seven

1108
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one.

1109
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 2: The big news this week.

1110
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: Apple Vision Pro is available for pre order if you

1111
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: can still get one. Joining me now is Joanna Stern,

1112
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 1: personal tech columnist at the Wall Street Journal.

1113
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me, Joyna, Thanks for having me Rich.

1114
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so you got you went hands on with this

1115
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: thing four times, or I should say head on with

1116
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: this four times.

1117
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,919
Speaker 14: Heads on, heads on with the face computer four times.

1118
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 2: And what do you make of this?

1119
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an augmented reality, virtual reality headset. Apple

1120
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: obviously doesn't call it that. They called a spatial computer.

1121
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: But what do you make of this thing?

1122
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 2: In general?

1123
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, every time I put this on, I really have

1124
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 14: two reactions. One, this is the best headset I've ever used.

1125
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 14: The image quality, the way you navigate this with just

1126
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 14: your hands, no clunky controllers like we've had with the Oculus.

1127
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 14: It just feels natural, similar to when we first got

1128
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 14: that iPhone and it moved away from the clunky smartphones

1129
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 14: and they had stylustes and it wasn't really that natural

1130
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 14: to interact with those, And so now feels like Apple's

1131
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 14: doing the same thing with the headset. So that's part

1132
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 14: one of the impression. Part two of the impression is

1133
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 14: you're wearing a computer on your face and it feels

1134
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 14: like that right now. You almost can start to see

1135
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 14: the future of this device. When you put it on

1136
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 14: that it's going to get smaller and the battery pack

1137
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 14: is going to disappear, and it is going to feel

1138
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:11,439
Speaker 14: more like glasses. You just don't know. We just all

1139
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 14: don't know when that's going to happen. And right now,

1140
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 14: as I'm just saying, it's a face computer, You're putting

1141
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 14: a computer on your face. And yes, it's cool, but

1142
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 14: it's also big.

1143
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: It seems to be quite popular at thirty five hundred

1144
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: dollars plus accessories. As I'm scrolling through my social media,

1145
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of people have ordered this. They're

1146
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: eagerly anticipating it. Is that just par for the course

1147
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: with any new gadget?

1148
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 14: I think the big question is who are those people

1149
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 14: on social media?

1150
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 9: Right?

1151
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 14: Are they early adopters who have always bought the first

1152
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 14: Apple thing?

1153
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: That's my guess.

1154
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 14: Are these the people in your life that now you

1155
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 14: many years later have iPhones and iPads and air pods

1156
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 14: and Apple Watches? Probably not right. I mean, these are

1157
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 14: sort of the way these products get mainstream or go mainstream.

1158
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 14: Is It's just it follows the Apple playbook early first

1159
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 14: version is not meant for the masses, and certainly with

1160
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 14: this when we look at thirty five hundred dollars for

1161
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 14: device which we aren't quite sure what it will do

1162
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 14: for us, Well, that's a luxury item. I mean, I'm

1163
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 14: not saying this is actually like a luxury, beautiful item,

1164
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 14: but it is a luxury to be able to buy

1165
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 14: a thirty five hundred dollars phase computer that you're not

1166
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 14: really sure yet how is going to fit into your life.

1167
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said this was incredible, but do you think

1168
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,760
Speaker 1: that this has potential to revamp the way we experience

1169
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: entertainment and also compute Because they call it a spatial computer.

1170
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 2: Will I replace my laptop with this?

1171
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 14: It seems very clear. Again, I haven't had the chance

1172
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 14: to test this, and I know you haven't either outside

1173
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 14: of Apple's walls, but given these demos, they seem to

1174
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 14: be sort of building a narrative around at least one

1175
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 14: big use case, and that is entertainment. One of the

1176
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 14: two of the demos I got to see over the

1177
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 14: last couple months, we're around the spatial videos and photos

1178
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 14: again three D. We won't say the bad word, and

1179
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 14: that really is remarkable. I mean, it is really cool

1180
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 14: to be able to take a video on the weekend

1181
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 14: of your kids in three D and then watch it

1182
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 14: back in this headset and feel like you're really there

1183
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,439
Speaker 14: with them. Right. It feels a lot more immersive and real.

1184
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 14: The question is how often are we going to do that?

1185
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 9: Right?

1186
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 14: How often are we going to want to use these

1187
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 14: devices to do that? Sure it's good for the business

1188
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 14: trip you might take when you're not with your kids,

1189
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 14: But I can see my kids in real life. I'm

1190
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 14: lucky to be able to do that. Maybe it's when

1191
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 14: they get older and I can relive those memories. Maybe

1192
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 14: it's people who have passed away. So I think there

1193
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 14: are a lot of interesting cultural uses that might evolve here.

1194
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 14: But again, it's got to come along. Right. You're going

1195
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 14: to want to have a device eventually that's easier to

1196
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 14: put on, sleeker, and maybe you can you don't have

1197
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 14: to have a big battery pack with it.

1198
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: What did you make of the everyone's retweeting like this

1199
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: picture of.

1200
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 2: Like my ear, your ear?

1201
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: You know, this bulky headset that's like crunching down on ears.

1202
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: Did you find that this thing was really heavy and

1203
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: or hot on your head?

1204
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 14: I have always thought this thing is quite heavy, and

1205
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 14: I do really think that is going to be the

1206
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 14: main thing that prevents you from being able to use

1207
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 14: this for longer periods of time, then you probably want

1208
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 14: you'd probably want to wear it for a little bit longer,

1209
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 14: and you might start to feel the weight literally on

1210
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 14: your head.

1211
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: I'd be curious to watch an entire movie in this thing,

1212
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: because it's something I have not been able to do

1213
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: in another headset. And also on the plane, they all

1214
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: they always show this, you know, this picture of someone

1215
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: watching on the plane. Do you think you would use

1216
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: this on an airplane or do you think it'll get

1217
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot of use on a plane?

1218
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 14: I do, I definitely think, you know. I like I

1219
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 14: bring my iPad typically on longer flights. It's it's sort

1220
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 14: of a travel device for me. I don't use an

1221
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 14: iPad as much on my day to day activities, but

1222
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 14: I could see this sort of replacing the iPad for

1223
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,919
Speaker 14: watching on longer flights. The issue, then, I think, also

1224
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 14: becomes like this a very solo experience, so you can't

1225
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 14: really share with somebody else. You don't really see what's

1226
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 14: going on around you. I mean, there are ways to

1227
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 14: obviously control that. Using the dial on the device, you

1228
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 14: can dial in how much you see around you. But

1229
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 14: I've sat next to people on airplanes wearing VR headsets

1230
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 14: and other types of glasses, and I mean they look

1231
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 14: nerdy and they're fine with that.

1232
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: What were you most impressed with? What are you you know?

1233
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: What do you think is the best aspect of this device?

1234
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 2: At launch?

1235
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 14: I always go back to how easy it is to

1236
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 14: navigate around. I think one of the things that Apple

1237
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 14: had to overcome here is making this a device that's

1238
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 14: easy for anyone to sort of use. The controllers on

1239
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 14: these previous devices, you've really felt like they're clunky. They

1240
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 14: kind of get away, get in between that experience. So

1241
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,479
Speaker 14: I think that's one thing that is going to help

1242
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 14: with moving this into the future. I think the second

1243
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 14: really is the focus Apples putting on the real world.

1244
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 14: This is not about the so called metaverse where you

1245
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 14: get out of the real world and you're surrounded in

1246
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 14: all digital objects and you've gone to outer space or

1247
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 14: wherever you've gone. You can do some of that in here,

1248
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 14: but they're putting the real focus on being able to

1249
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 14: see people and things around you. As soon as you

1250
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 14: put on the headsetting rich you know, you put it on,

1251
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 14: you see the menu, and you see your surroundings. If

1252
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 14: I had it on right now, I would be seeing

1253
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 14: you and I would see the menu in front of me.

1254
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 14: And so that seems like a really big difference, and

1255
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 14: again also really showing where Apple, I think is wants

1256
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 14: to go with this in the future, which is not

1257
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 14: a device to be alone in your home, but a

1258
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 14: device that you can wear out and about and see

1259
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 14: digital information and not just be staring down at your phone.

1260
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: What did you make of the eyesight, because they in

1261
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: my demo, it was kind of the surprise at the

1262
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: end where this person looks up from their computer or

1263
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 1: whatever they were doing and they've got these digital eyes

1264
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: on the screen.

1265
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 2: It was it was a little weird, especially when they blink.

1266
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: They said, see you can see me blinking, and then

1267
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, they took a picture all these little things,

1268
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 1: which is nice to have, but it's still a little odd.

1269
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 14: It's odd, for sure. I think that really is I

1270
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 14: think about making sure that people feel like there's that

1271
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 14: privacy component here that they know, oh, you're looking at

1272
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 14: me versus you're looking at something else. I mean, for

1273
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 14: your listeners, just to describe this, I mean, it sort

1274
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 14: of makes it look like a pair of ski goggles, right,

1275
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 14: so it's not just a plain piece of plastic in

1276
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 14: front of your face, which it is. But what Apple's

1277
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 14: done is put a screen in front of the headset

1278
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 14: that mimics what your eyes look like, so it looks

1279
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 14: like the person is looking at you, and that is

1280
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 14: to make it seem like you're just wearing glasses and

1281
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 14: you're naturally talking to somebody. But yeah, it didn't also

1282
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 14: work that well, Like it looked like like to your point,

1283
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 14: it was like I'm blinking and I was like are you?

1284
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 14: And it looks quite delayed. And I also asked him

1285
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 14: to take it off to make sure he actually had

1286
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 14: eyes because I couldn't. It was like, do you have

1287
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 14: the real lize? Like, what do your real eyes look like?

1288
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 14: I'm interested to see what it looks like on me.

1289
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 14: In our demos, we didn't see really quite yet any

1290
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 14: killer apps. And I don't actually want to say that

1291
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 14: there's going to be some killer app for this, but

1292
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 14: we didn't see a ton yet of third party apps.

1293
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 14: What are the developers creating for this headset? And we

1294
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 14: know that that was such a key to the iPhone

1295
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 14: and the iPad is these developers and software makers coming

1296
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 14: along and saying I can build this really cool thing

1297
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 14: with this, something you couldn't do with the stock apps

1298
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 14: that Apple provides. And so I think there's some big

1299
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,919
Speaker 14: questions about what are these developers making. Once this is out,

1300
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 14: we'll have a better sense. And is there incentive for

1301
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 14: them to want to make things here? I mean, this

1302
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 14: is sure Apple's going to sell a lot of these

1303
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 14: to early adopters right now, but this is not a

1304
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 14: mainstream product, and so does that make developers not want

1305
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 14: to sort of invest in it right now?

1306
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 9: All right?

1307
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,360

1323
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 9: Walk out to the car here.

1324
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 15: Hey, look, my question was I was listening a couple

1325
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 15: of weeks ago. You're telling everybody that's do you have

1326
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 15: Spectrum cable and like a Samsung TV or whatever smart

1327
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 15: TV that Disney Plus is taking free subscriptions.

1328
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 9: Well, I went to Disney Plus either on my phone

1329
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 9: or I did it on the TV screen, and it's

1330
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 9: not all the information email that such.

1331
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 15: I'm then and ask you to ask you for your

1332
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 15: a credit card number.

1333
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 9: Now I stopped there. Are they going to charge me

1334
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:40,439
Speaker 9: later on or just just a security background check?

1335
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 2: Good question.

1336
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: So this is you're talking about the free deal if

1337
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: you have Spectrum TV with the Select plans. So if

1338
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: this is if you have traditional cable TV from Spectrum

1339
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: and you're on the Select plan. They announced that Disney

1340
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Plus is now included the Disney Plus Basic, which is

1341
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: basically their Disney Plus with ads. It's about eight dollars

1342
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: a month value and you can get this for free.

1343
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: And I posted this to my Instagram, my Twitter, and

1344
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: my Facebook, and a lot of people took advantage of

1345
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: it and a lot of people said, yes, this works

1346
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: just fine.

1347
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 2: So Gladden.

1348
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: The main thing you need to know is that you

1349
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: have to activate it first through Spectrum.

1350
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

1351
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: You have to go to Spectrum dot com slash Disney Plus.

1352
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: That's where you have to activate it first, and then

1353
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: you sign in with the Disney account, so it will

1354
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: all the instructions are there, but it will lead you

1355
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: through the process. I think it sounds like you went

1356
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: to Disney Plus first, and of course it just looks

1357
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: like you're signing up as a regular person, so you

1358
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: have to go through Spectrum first. That will give Disney

1359
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: Plus the signal that hey, this person is a Spectrum customer,

1360
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 1: give this to them for free. Now I have not

1361
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: done this personally, so I don't know if once you

1362
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: get to that Disney Plus sign up area, if they

1363
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: do ask for a credit card for like a background thing, like,

1364
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, if they just want to keep it on

1365
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: file in case you cancel your spectrum. But the way

1366
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: I see it on their website, it says if you

1367
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: cancel your Spectrum, you will lose access to Disney Plus basics.

1368
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: So doesn't sound like they require a credit card or

1369
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: they'll fall back to charging you. It just you have

1370
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 1: you lost access. That's the way I see it. So

1371
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: start at Spectrum dot dot com slash Disney Plus and

1372
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: then follow the steps there. Sign in with your Spectrum account,

1373
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 1: move over to the Disney account and then get it

1374
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: through there.

1375
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 2: But good question.

1376
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: And if you have Spectrum TV on that select plan,

1377
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: absolutely get this for free.

1378
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 2: Why not?

1379
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: And we're paying so much for these services, get something

1380
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: for free. Thanks for the call today, Gladden and glad

Speaker 1: to have you on. Marshall and Resita. You're on with

1382

1383
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 8: Hanging in there?

1384
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 16: I hope you doing on?

1385
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 8: I twitched over from that note twenty Ultra I had that,

1386
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 8: you saw me and Amazon Press. I have a twenty four.

1387
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 8: I'm sorry I had no twenty Now we've got the

1388
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 8: twenty three. But you know that doesn't have expandable memory.

1389
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 8: I got a five twelve memory when I bought the phone,

1390
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 8: so they doubled your memory.

1391
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're doing the same thing right now for the

1392
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: S twenty four buyers. If you get the two fifty six,

1393
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: you get the five twelve, you get the five twelve,

1394
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: you get the one terabyte.

1395
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 2: So it's a pretty good deal.

1396
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, but tell them, whoever you talk to the Jamsung,

1397
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 8: tell them to put the expandable memory back in, because

1398
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 8: they did this back in the five or sixth senteries.

1399
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you remember, Oh yeah, Marshall.

1400
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 8: They put it back in on the seven or something

1401
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 8: like that because people complained, yep, and.

1402
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 2: Then they took it away.

1403
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1404
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. People love the expandable memory. But

1405
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: these phones are getting to the place where they have

1406
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: they're getting the carrier or the phone makers want no

1407
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: ports whatsoever. So on the Samsung, I'm actually still I'm

1408
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: surprised at the latest Samsung still has a SD card slot.

1409
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 2: But anyway, keep going.

1410
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 16: I need a big suggestionment from your part. I want

1411
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 16: a tangible thing. I could put it, take it like,

1412
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 16: you know, because if I put the micro c car

1413
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 16: once I filled it up, you know, I could take

1414
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 16: it out and put a fresh one in, but take

1415
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 16: it with me and then whatever I want to do

1416
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 16: with that card. I don't want to put myself up

1417
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 16: in a cloud. I don't want to put it onto

1418
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 16: a laptop. And like, I want something I could take

1419
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 16: and put into the you know, plug into the phone,

1420
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 16: download all the stuff from you know, the pictures and

1421
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 16: videos hurrna. I have put it into something tangible that

1422
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 16: I can put, you know, carry around with me because

1423
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 16: it's got five twelve, five hundred and twelve memory on it,

1424
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 16: so it probably needs to be considered something large to

1425
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 16: you know, you know, not physical large, but like you know,

1426
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 16: data large.

1427
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Well, the good news is, look, the good news says

1428
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,639
Speaker 1: with these phones with the USBC, you could plug any

1429
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,600
Speaker 1: drive into them. Just get a hard drive if you

1430
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: want to do it that way, that's the cheapest. If

1431
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: you want something small, get a flash drive and the uh.

1432
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: The phone actually has an app built in called my

1433
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Let's see what it's called here files, my files. So

1434
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: if you go into the my files app, if you

1435
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: plug in a hard drive or a flash drive, it's

1436
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 1: going to show up under storage and you could just

1437
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: go ahead and copy and paste all the stuff that

1438
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: you want from your phone into that drive. And I'm

1439
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: sure there's some apps that can help you do that

1440
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: as well, but it's built into the phone.

1441
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 2: It's very simple to do it that way.

1442
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: If you don't want to go to the cloud the

1443
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 1: drives that I recommend, if you want to just get

1444
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: a regular hard drive. Just go on Amazon search you

1445
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: know hard drive Western Digital and you can get like

1446
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: a probably a two terabyte drive for like sixty bucks

1447
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: at this point. Make sure it's USBC. But if you

1448
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 1: want to get a flash drive, PNY has what's called

1449
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: the duo link, and this is a USB three point

1450
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: two C drive USBC, plug it into the bottom. They

1451
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: make it in one twenty eight gigabytes or two fifty six.

1452
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: One twenty eight gigabytes is twenty bucks. Two fifty six

1453
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: is twenty five dollars. That's that's a pretty good value.

1454
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: If you want to get sand disc. They make some

1455
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: products that are USB flash drive ives under the I

1456
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: expand name and same thing. You can get these things

1457
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 1: very cheap. Just look for USBC. They're they're kind of

1458
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: dropping the I expand. It looks like so it's they

1459
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: call it the Ultra Dual drive Go and USBC. You

1460
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: can get it all the way up to a terabyte. Okay,

1461
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: so one terabyte is going to be one hundred and

1462
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: nine to ninety nine. You said your phone, I think

1463

01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: when it was first opening. You showed me your phone.

1472
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: You said, rich you made me get this. And when

1473
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: people say that to me, I'm always like hesitant.

1474
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, do you like it? And you said yes,

1475
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 2: thanks for the call today.

1476
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: Eighty to eight rich one on one eight eight eight

1477
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Apparently playing

1478
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: football on Peacock pays off record number of viewers for

1479
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: the streaming only NFL playoff game. Over twenty three million

1480
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: viewers for the Dolphins versus Chiefs wild card game that

1481
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: aired exclusively on Peacock. This got me scratching my head.

1482
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: I said, wait a second, where's this game? Wait, it's

1483
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: streaming only what And of course we had to watch

1484
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:35,440
Speaker 1: it because you know, Tata was in the audience watching Kelsey.

1485
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: So my wife is all into the Chiefs all of

1486
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: a sudden, uh, twenty three million viewers, most streamed event

1487
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 1: ever in US history if you include local TV, twenty

1488
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: seven point six million total viewers.

1489
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 2: So wait, it was on local TV too, I'm confused.

1490
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't on local TV, so streaming numbers were

1491
01:11:55,760 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: close to typical NFL viewership. Hey, streaming is happening. Amazon's

1492
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: got it on Thursday Night Football. Now we got it

1493
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 1: on Peacock. All I have to say is I saw

1494
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of emails from Peacock saying all my family

1495
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: members were logging into my account, so I knew something

01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:50,639
Speaker 1: her mind.

1549
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 2: Okay, what can I help you with?

1550
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1551
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 11: Right, First of all, thank you for taking my call

1552
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 11: on hear very good things about you. And number two,

1553
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 11: I have a very simple question, so I hope I'm

1554
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 11: not taking up your time. If we change carriers on

1555
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 11: our cell phones from one to another, from AT and

1556
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 11: T to something else, can we keep our phone numbers

1557
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 11: the way they are?

1558
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 2: Yes?

1559
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: This is called yeah, this is called porting out a

1560
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: phone number, and basically all the cellular all the cellular

1561
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: companies use a system that allows them to grab the

1562
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: phone number from your old account bring it to the

1563
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: new account. Now, how easy that is can sometimes be

1564
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 1: a little tricky. So the thing you need to know

1565
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 1: about porting a phone number out number one, do not

1566
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: cancel your old service. That is the number one thing

1567
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: to know. So you need to have your old service active,

1568
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 1: and you have to also kind of set up that

1569
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,560
Speaker 1: service for the portout. And with AT and T specifically

1570
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: you can Basically you need a pen, you need your account,

1571
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: You need your account information very perfectly for the new

1572
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 1: carrier to be able to grab that phone number. And

1573
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: with AT and T you need to get a special

1574
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: pin code because phone numbers are our lives, and so

1575
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: you don't want to just be able to have a

1576
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 1: stranger take your phone number from you. And so these

1577
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 1: cellular carriers have gotten pretty like strict about porting out.

1578
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: They want to let you do it easily, but they

1579
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,599
Speaker 1: also want to make sure you are who you say

1580
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: you are, and so you basically need to get a

1581
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: pin number with AT and T so that you can

1582
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: give that special pin number to the new provider and

1583
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:35,719
Speaker 1: get them and that way they can grab that phone number.

1584
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: So on AT and T you can dial from your

1585
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: phone star Port p O R T and you can

1586
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: get a number transfer pin sent to you via your

1587
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: text message. You'll need your account passcode to generate that,

1588
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 1: so just keep in mind you will need some of

1589
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 1: that information. If you have the AT and T app,

1590
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: you can go into the people and Permissions and it

1591
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 1: says transfer port transfer phone number and you have to

1592
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 1: request a PIN there and it will display on the

1593
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 1: screen and that PIN number is what's going to get

1594
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: that new carrier the ability to grab your phone number.

1595
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 1: So it's you know, porting is not tough, but you

1596
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: do need to have all of your information in a

1597
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: line and also some of these code numbers before you

1598
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: can allow that port to happen. And that's for a

1599
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 1: reason because again people do these things where they steal

1600
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: your number and then they can get your codes for

1601
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 1: logging into various websites, you know, the two factor authentication

1602
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: codes and or they you know, there's a lot they

1603
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: can do a lot of damage they can do. So

1604
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: that is the way to do it, Katie, and just yeah,

1605
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 1: make sure you don't and by the way, once you

1606
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: once that number is transferred to the new service, it's

1607
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: automatically canceled at your old provider. So once that number

1608
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 1: is pulled out of your account and you have it

1609
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:55,520
Speaker 1: with your new service, your old service will be disconnected automatically.

1610
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: There's usually nothing you have to do after that. It

1611
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: should automatically disconnect. Thanks for the call, Katie. I'm glad

1612
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: you heard good things about me. You must have been

1613
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 1: talking to my family. Google's incognito mode not so private

1614
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: after all. Google is settling a five billion dollar class

1615
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: action lawsuit accusing it of privacy violations because the incognito

1616
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: warning is not.

1617
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 2: Really that clear that.

1618
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: By the way, yeah, they can still track you when

1619
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 1: you're using incognito. So here's what you need to know

1620
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: about Incognito mode. Number one. Incognito mode is the private

1621
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 1: browsing feature that is available on Chrome, but also other

1622
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: browsers have it. They have something similar, but this is

1623
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: specifically on Chrome. So on Chrome, if you go to

1624
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: new Incognito window, it opens up this little window that

1625
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:49,440
Speaker 1: basically says you can brivee.

1626
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:52,600
Speaker 2: Browse privately.

1627
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: It says people who use this device won't be able

1628
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: to see your activity. However, your downloads, your bookmarks, you're reading,

1629
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 1: list items also be saved, so Chrome will not save

1630
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: the following information, your browsing history, cookies, and site data

1631
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 1: information entered informs.

1632
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 2: Your activity might still be.

1633
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: Visible to the websites you visit, your employer or school,

1634
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 1: and your Internet service provider. So what does this mean.

1635
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 1: It means a lot of people thought that when they

1636
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 1: go inside that incognito browser tab, everything is safe, and

1637
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 1: everything is secure, and everything is invisible to anyone else.

1638
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 2: You are not invisible, so you have to remember that.

1639
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 1: And so, yes, your employer could see the websites you visit,

1640
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: your school could see the website, the ISPs, and most importantly,

1641
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 1: Google and the website you're going to can identify you

1642
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 1: by your IP address and other factors.

1643
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 2: So what are they going to do.

1644
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 1: They're going to change the warning on this little incognito

1645
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: mode when you go into it and say that website

1646
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: information data could be still be collected by websites and services,

1647
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: including Google.

1648
01:19:58,120 --> 01:19:59,480
Speaker 2: So just keep that in mind.

1649
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: If you're at work and you're surfing the web and

1650
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: you go into this incognito, your work can still see

1651
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:08,679
Speaker 1: what you're doing, the best way to think about it

1652
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:11,720
Speaker 1: is that what you're doing is not saved by your computer,

1653
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: but it's still saved by or it's still registered by

1654
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,920
Speaker 1: the websites that you're going to. Now, the one thing

1655
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 1: I would add to this, there is an option on

1656
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,719
Speaker 1: incognito that says block third party cookies.

1657
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:25,600
Speaker 2: There's a little.

1658
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: Toggle right on the main screen when you go into

1659
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: that mode. I would toggle that on. And what that's

1660
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna do is that's gonna keep websites from cross tracking you.

1661
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: So let's just say you use incognito mode to shop

1662
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: for a new ring for your significant other, and you

1663
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 1: go into this because you don't want to see all

1664
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: those ads follow you around to other websites. Well, that's

1665
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: a good way of doing it. And if you block

1666
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 1: third party cookies, those websites will not exchange information with

1667
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: other websites to try to sell you jewelry when you're

1668
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: on different websites. So that's the way to understand it.

1669
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: But just keep in mind that's what's happening. There's an

1670
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:05,639
Speaker 1: app that I love that I think you should download.

1671
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: It's called Perplexity. This is a really really cool app

1672
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 1: and it's basically like an AI app that uses chat,

1673
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: GBT and claude to give you just like information about

1674
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,640
Speaker 1: stuff and it's available for iOS and Android, and what

1675
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: I love about it is not only does it answer

1676
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 1: questions and like very easy to understand answers that are

1677
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: like very well thought out. Every day they send you

1678
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 1: a notification with like one kind of like item, so

1679
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 1: it may say the S and P five hundred hit

1680
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:43,639
Speaker 1: a record high. That was a notification yesterday, and when

1681
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 1: you tap it, it gives you all information about that,

1682
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 1: like almost like a little history lesson every day, but

1683
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: it's on a different topic and it tells you most

1684
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: importantly the sources. So it says, like, here's why we

1685
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: know this is true. So you know, AI can hallucinate,

1686
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 1: it can make up stuff. But what Plexity tries to

1687
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: do is it tries to tell you, hey, here's where

1688
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: I got this information from and here's why it's important.

1689
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 2: So it's really great. I love it.

1690
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: I look forward to the little notification I get every

1691
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: day from it.

1692
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 2: Again.

1693
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: It's called Perplexity Peer p l e x it Y.

1694
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: It's available for both iOS and Android. You don't have

1695
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: to use it as your search engine, but also when

1696
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: you ask it a question, it's got this thing called copilot,

1697
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: and it tries to figure out like what you're asking

1698
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 1: and it will come up with like the question. It's

1699
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 1: just a really cool use of AI that makes you

1700
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: feel very smart and you can feel like you can

1701
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: trust most of the answers that it gives you. So

1702
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: I kind of just use it every day for the

1703
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: daily notification, but you can also do searches on there,

1704
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 1: so if you're in a different city, like when I

1705
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: was in San Jose, I just typed in San Jose

1706
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: and it gave me like a whole history of the city,

1707
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: like a nice brief little history. And when I asked

1708
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 1: San Jose just now, it said which San Jose are

1709
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: referring to? Costa Rica or California, And it kind of

1710
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: helps you aft your question better to come up with

1711
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: a great response. And now it just gave me a

1712
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: whole thing about San Jose using all kinds of sources Wikipedia,

1713
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:15,600
Speaker 1: San Jose website, tripadvisorweather dot com for the weather. And

1714
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 1: it's just a really cool app. So again, it's called

Speaker 1: Oh there we go.

1734
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 5: Can you hear me?

1735
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 2: Yes? Hi.

1736
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 5: Hey, So I've been with Verizon for years and I've

1737
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 5: had on I've been on auto pay, and I didn't

1738
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 5: really realize it that they've been incrementally increasing my rates.

1739
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 5: It almost seems on a monthly basis, so T Mobile

1740
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 5: I can.

1741
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 1: Get well, that's why they love having you on autopay, right, Yeah,

1742
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 1: that's why they That's why they charge ten dollars if

1743
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 1: you want to not do that.

1744
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:56,600
Speaker 5: No doubt, no doubt. So T Mobile will give me

1745
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 5: the same price for four lines where I can get

1746
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 5: my ten and eleven years old daughters of phone, which

1747
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 5: is another question, but I'll call you another vine another

1748
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 5: time about how to monitor them. But in any event,

1749
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:10,879
Speaker 5: I'd like to switch. But I have a question regarding

1750
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 5: so I always buy unlocked phones from eBay. I wait

1751
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 5: till a couple progressions go and then I can get

1752
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 5: a good deal on you know, like an eleven for example,

1753
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,600
Speaker 5: which is what I have. My wife has an se

1754
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 5: can an unlocked phone on a Verizon network work for

1755
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 5: T Mobile because I think one's a GSM and one's

1756
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 5: a C D M A or something like that.

1757
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 1: Well that used to be more of the case. Nowadays

1758
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: phones are pretty much universal. So what, well, what phones

1759
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:39,719
Speaker 1: are we talking about?

1760
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 12: Like?

1761
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:40,799
Speaker 2: What is it an iPhone?

1762
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 9: What?

1763
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 5: I also have a physical SIM? Do I still need

1764
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 5: a physical SIM? Or can these phones utilize digital sim?

1765
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 2: Well? Sorry, I didn't catch what kind of phone it

1766
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 2: was an iPhone eleven?

1767
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 1: Okay, iPhone eleven, iPhone eleven let's see if it has

1768
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,799
Speaker 1: an EM sure that has a SIM. Let's see. Uh,

1769
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: let's see iPhone eleven. I got to figure out that

1770
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: supports let's see. Okay, okay, iPhone. Yeah, iPhone eleven has

1771
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: one SIM and one physical SIM. So your iPhone eleven,

1772
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:19,640
Speaker 1: it should it should have a U, it should have

1773
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 1: an SIM on it.

1774
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 2: So uh.

1775
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:26,800
Speaker 1: The simple question is typically phones, especially the iPhone, has

1776
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 1: been pretty good about covering all bands, so I think

1777
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 1: you'll be okay.

1778
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 2: But it's pretty simple.

1779
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 1: Just you can just go to T Mobile and pop

1780
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 1: in the uh the code from the phone like the

1781
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: I M I, and you can see if it will.

1782
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 2: You know if it will work there.

1783
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: So if you search on on Google, just search T Mobile,

1784
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: I M E I check and it'll bring you to

1785
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: a page that says, uh, you know, check your phone

1786
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 1: to see if it'll work.

1787
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 5: And so yeah, I didn't see anything like that. And

1788
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:01,520
Speaker 5: then one last question. I have steptrum for my internet

1789
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 5: and I get about I think I want to say,

1790
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 5: it's like seventy NBS seventy to eighty, and I'm on

1791
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 5: a legacy which everybody else gets like two or three

1792
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 5: hundred or whatever. They brought it back down to fifty

1793
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 5: dollars to match T Mobile. But the T Mobile hotspot

1794
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 5: and the house seems to be pretty good. There's a

1795
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 5: seventy to two fifty. Would you recommend just going T

1796
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 5: mobile for everything that the wireless in the house and

1797
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 5: the phones.

1798
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:33,839
Speaker 2: Oh you mean that, you mean the whole the Internet

1799
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 2: for the house, the T Mobile things WI.

1800
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:37,599
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1801
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:40,799
Speaker 1: Look, if you get goods, if you get good service

1802
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 1: from T Mobile, if you're getting seventy eighty down, I

1803
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:47,879
Speaker 1: mean that's pretty good. I think that the look cable Internet,

1804
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 1: I think is still slightly better, especially if you have

1805
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: a lot of devices you're doing a lot of gaming

1806
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But if you're just watching Netflix and

1807
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: and you know, just pretty standard stuff surfing the web,

1808
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: all that good stuff, I think you'll be fine. But again,

1809
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 1: just make sure you have a good five g U

1810
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: S signal with T Mobile in your house.

1811
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 2: You know that for sure.

1812
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 5: You just built a tower at the school and I live.

1813
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 2: Oh, then.

1814
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 5: They put a tower on their soccer field.

1815
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure the school got paid a lot for

1816
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: that too.

1817
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I would, I would go with it.

1818
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: I would just keep your other service before you cancel,

1819
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: just to make life easy. In case the T Mobile

1820
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,720
Speaker 1: doesn't work out. But it sounds like, uh, sounds like

1821
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 1: to me, Dennis, you're going you're going all in on

1822
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 1: T Mobile. So look, if they've got a cell tower

1823
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 1: right near your house like that, you're gonna get fantastic coverage,

1824
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:42,599
Speaker 1: good speeds, and T Mobile versus Verizon out and about.

1825
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: I think that Verizon probably has more coverage in like

1826
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: especially rural areas, compared to T Mobile. But in my experience,

1827
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 1: T Mobile the network is really really good. It's very fast,

1828
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,599
Speaker 1: and uh, I think if you're saving all that money

1829
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 1: getting four lines or the price of two plus the

1830
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 1: home internet at a discount.

1831
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 2: Go for it. Easy, easy easy. Thanks for the call today.

Speaker 1: reviewer extraordinaire. Caleb, Thanks so much for joining me today.

1840
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 17: It's my pleasure. Thanks for having me.

1841
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 1: Let's get into the interview because I've got a lot

1842
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 1: of stuff I want to cover with you. But first off,

1843
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 1: TV trends you saw at CES.

1844
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 18: Well, I got to say the biggest trend that I

1845
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 18: saw at CES was the bigness of the TVs. I

1846
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 18: could not believe some of the screen sizes that we

1847
01:29:58,880 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 18: saw at the show.

1848
01:29:59,560 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 17: This year.

1849
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 18: We're talking about one hundred and ten inch and one

1850
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:07,360
Speaker 18: hundred and fifteen inch TVs. That one hundred inch barrier

1851
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 18: has been broken, and so now we're seeing TVs that

1852
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:14,200
Speaker 18: are the size of projector screens, which called into question

1853
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 18: why you'd ever get a projector at this point?

1854
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 2: Oh?

1855
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 1: Interesting, Yeah, So what's the common what's the most common

1856
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 1: size people are buying at this point?

1857
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 18: Well, I think sixty five is probably technically the still

1858
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:30,000
Speaker 18: the most popular size, but we're seeing a lot more

1859
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 18: seventy five and especially eighty five inch TV selling, and

1860
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,400
Speaker 18: we tend to see a lot of those bigger screens

1861
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 18: selling right about now as we head toward the big gang.

1862
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so in terms of TV terms, there's O LAD,

1863
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: Q LEAD, LED, qHD micro led. Oh what what ones

1864
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 1: of these terms do we need to know.

1865
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:52,760
Speaker 18: I think the two that folks need to understand the

1866
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 18: difference between our Q LEAD and O lead because those

1867
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 18: are really the ones we see the most. Also Mini LED,

1868
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 18: which is just a different flavor of Q lead TV.

1869
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 17: Right.

1870
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 18: The essential difference is that a Q lead TV works

1871
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:08,439
Speaker 18: a lot like your computer monitor does. There are little

1872
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 18: LED back lights in the back of the TV and

1873
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 18: they shine through an LCD panel. And these things now

1874
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:17,639
Speaker 18: have something called quantum dots, which are these cool little

1875
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 18: nanoparticles that help make the TV brighter and more colorful.

1876
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 18: And these TVs are excellent at getting very bright and

1877
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 18: so they're great for a really bright room. If you

1878
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 18: watch a lot during the day, you might want to

1879
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 18: lean toward a Q lead TV. If they have a drawback,

1880
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 18: it's that their black levels are not perfectly black. That's

1881
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:41,520
Speaker 18: where old really excels. O lead uses an organic compound

1882
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 18: and they don't require a bunch of later, So the

1883
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 18: OLED TVs are super super thin, thinner than your phone

1884
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:51,639
Speaker 18: in your pocket. I guarantee you and these things exceed

1885
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 18: at doing perfect black levels and really gorgeous colors. And

1886
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 18: I mentioned the black level thing a lot because contrast

1887
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 18: is the thing that the eye picks up on the

1888
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:03,240
Speaker 18: most and O led TVs are just the more the

1889
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 18: more contrasty TV of the two. The only problem with

1890
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 18: OLEAD is that they're hard to make, and therefore they

1891
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 18: are usually a bit more expensive than the Q Lead

1892
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 18: TVs or many LED TVs you'll see out there.

1893
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 1: What about reflection wise, I used to you know, it

1894
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,679
Speaker 1: used to be like the LEDs who were better than

1895
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: the old Eds with reflections.

1896
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 2: Is that still the case?

1897
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 17: Not so much.

1898
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 18: A lot of the O LED TVs these days have

1899
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 18: really good anti glare treatment on them, and so they're

1900
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 18: they're fairly good at handling reflections. I think the thing

1901
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:38,400
Speaker 18: that really helps the TV overpower glare or reflections is

1902
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 18: its capability of getting super super bright, which again I

1903
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:44,160
Speaker 18: think if you're going to be watching during the day

1904
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:46,800
Speaker 18: a lot, and you've got windows with sun coming in

1905
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:49,679
Speaker 18: and you're not in the mood to draw your curtains

1906
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:52,679
Speaker 18: or whatever, you probably want to lean toward Mini LED

1907
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:54,439
Speaker 18: or or q lead TV.

1908
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:58,960
Speaker 1: So many LED is sort of like the best flavor

1909
01:32:59,160 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 1: of LED.

1910
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:00,720
Speaker 2: Huh.

1911
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:04,280
Speaker 18: It's the latest hottest flavor of LED TV. They basically

1912
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:07,519
Speaker 18: shrunk down the back lights to be super small Anybody

1913
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 18: who's gone out there and bought LED lights these days

1914
01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:12,360
Speaker 18: know how tiny they are and how bright they are,

1915
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 18: and at working at television they can use more of

1916
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 18: them for more brightness and more control and they Yeah, generally,

1917
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 18: when you look at a mini LED TV, you're looking

1918
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:25,439
Speaker 18: at a more premium picture quality, though these days you

1919
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 18: don't have to spend a whole lot more to get it.

1920
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 1: So what types in general brands, Like, what brands do

1921
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 1: you like out there? Because I'm seeing a lot of

1922
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: like High Sense getting awards and you know, TCL, what

1923
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 1: are the brands that you really like?

1924
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:44,640
Speaker 18: I'm in love for High Sense and TCL for delivering

1925
01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:48,760
Speaker 18: the best picture quality for the money. They are by

1926
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:52,200
Speaker 18: far the highest value out there right now. And I

1927
01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 18: know that those are brands that maybe people are still

1928
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 18: warming up to, but I guarantee you you see them

1929
01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 18: at your Costco and at Amazon and at best Buy

1930
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 18: now they're everywhere. They've proven to be very reliable, and again,

1931
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 18: the picture quality that you can get for the money

1932
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:12,160
Speaker 18: from these TVs is absolutely splendid. So you know, if

1933
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 18: you ask me what my top pick for a budget

1934
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 18: TV is going to be, guaranteed it's going to be

1935
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 18: a TCL or a High Sense.

1936
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's get into some of those picks.

1937
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:25,400
Speaker 1: So do you want to give us specific picks for

1938
01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:26,680
Speaker 1: some of these TVs?

1939
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 18: Yeah, Actually, I have some model numbers that I think

1940
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:32,439
Speaker 18: people should be looking out for, Okay, So from High Sense,

1941
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 18: I would look at, for instance, the U seven pay

1942
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 18: remember the number seven. That's probably the easiest way to

1943
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 18: go about it. You can get a sixty five inch

1944
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 18: High Sense U seven K for about eight hundred dollars

1945
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:47,160
Speaker 18: right now. If you're a little bit more picky about

1946
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 18: picture quality or you just want to get the best TV,

1947
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 18: you can get the High Sense U eight K is

1948
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:57,759
Speaker 18: about one thousand dollars or so for the sixty five inch,

1949
01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:00,160
Speaker 18: and these TVs go right up to eighty fi five

1950
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:02,599
Speaker 18: inches too, So if you want to go really big

1951
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 18: by this is by far the best way to get

1952
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,679
Speaker 18: a really big screen without just draining your bank account.

1953
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 18: I also recommend TCL, and again they have a seven

1954
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:15,840
Speaker 18: and an eight. It's almost like they plan this right.

1955
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 18: So with TCL, it's the Q seven again about eight

1956
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 18: hundred dollars for a sixty five inch, and the QM

1957
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:25,000
Speaker 18: eight around one thy to eleven hundred dollars for a

1958
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:26,840
Speaker 18: sixty five inch, So if you want to spend a

1959
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:29,559
Speaker 18: little bit more, you'll get a lot more picture quality.

1960
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,719
Speaker 18: But those those seven models I think are the best

1961
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 18: pick for the most amount of people out there.

1962
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So both high Sense and TCL are both

1963
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:42,680
Speaker 1: using the seven and eight. That makes it easy to

1964
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: kind of remember, you know, seven is good, eight is better.

1965
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: What about when it comes to like premium sets.

1966
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 18: I am in love with the Samsung S ninety C

1967
01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 18: O LED television and hot tip best Buy has an

1968
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:04,000
Speaker 18: exclusive model to them called S eighty nine C just

1969
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 18: like one number away. Don't know why they did that,

1970
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 18: but it's a little less expensive and it is for

1971
01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 18: all intents and purposes the same od LED television. This

1972
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:18,800
Speaker 18: thing is just spentacular, absolutely remarkable how good the picture

1973
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 18: quality is on this thing. And it's one of my

1974
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 18: top TV picks of the year by far.

1975
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:28,000
Speaker 1: Now this is the one that you're talking about. I

1976
01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:31,320
Speaker 1: just looked it up on best Buy and it is

1977
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 1: on like really sale. So could this is saying it's

1978
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 1: two thousand bucks sixteen hundred dollars off?

1979
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:38,080
Speaker 2: Does that sound right?

1980
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 17: Yeah?

1981
01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 18: You know, when these TVs first come out at the

1982
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 18: very beginning of the season, and TV season starts around

1983
01:36:45,640 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 18: April or May. Usually they are at their loftiest prices.

1984
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 18: Over time, they tend to come down. We see some

1985
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:56,640
Speaker 18: discounts around Black Friday in the holiday shopping season. But

1986
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,320
Speaker 18: right now is probably the best time to buy TV

1987
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 18: if you're looking to save money because the new models

1988
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 18: that were just announced at CES, they'll start coming out

1989
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 18: again in March or April, and so a lot of

1990
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 18: businesses are trying to clear out the twenty twenty three

1991
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:16,759
Speaker 18: stock to make room for the twenty twenty four and

1992
01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:18,600
Speaker 18: now is a great time to save a lot of

1993
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 18: money on TV. I don't think TV prices are going

1994
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,400
Speaker 18: to get much lower than they are right now.

1995
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 17: The trick is you want to buy.

1996
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:29,520
Speaker 18: Soon because as stock starts dwindling, Once these things disappear,

1997
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 18: they're not coming back.

1998
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 1: And it's interesting that I didn't realize Samsung was doing

1999
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 1: O LEDs. I thought they were mostly doing the Q leads.

2000
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 18: But that's yeah, yeah, that's a little bit of a

2001
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:43,320
Speaker 18: shift in strategy from them. We're coming into the third

2002
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 18: year that Samsung will be making an O leed, and

2003
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 18: this after crashing O lead for years and years and years,

2004
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:53,400
Speaker 18: but I think they caved once they realized that consumers

2005
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 18: really love that O LED. Look if you've ever seen

2006
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:57,800
Speaker 18: an OLED TV, and you can look at one if

2007
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 18: you walk into Costco, they'll have one sitting right there,

2008
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 18: shining bright and looking gorgeous. Most people understand as soon

2009
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 18: as they see it that they don't understand what true

2010
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 18: black really does until you see that contrast on an

2011
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:11,960
Speaker 18: OLED TV and it's phenomenal.

2012
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:15,160
Speaker 1: And also the top of the line iPhone and Samsung

2013
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 1: phones are O lead and they are incredible displays too.

2014
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:19,080
Speaker 17: Yeah.

2015
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:22,479
Speaker 18: Absolutely, we carry them around in our pocket, and you know,

2016
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 18: we've been able to get them in a television for

2017
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 18: quite some time, but they used to be just prohibitively expensive.

2018
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:30,639
Speaker 18: Now that OLED's been around for about ten years, they're

2019
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:32,720
Speaker 18: starting to come down to earth a little more.

2020
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 1: All Right, we've got to run in a minute here,

2021
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 1: But any other picks that you wanted to share, LG

2022
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:38,719
Speaker 1: also makes.

2023
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,040
Speaker 17: An outstanding OLED TV.

2024
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 18: I would look at the C three if you're having

2025
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:46,160
Speaker 18: trouble finding that Samsung old that we talked about. And

2026
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 18: of course if you are a movie buff or a cenophile,

2027
01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 18: Sony is still the best out there.

2028
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:54,799
Speaker 17: They make the very best.

2029
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:58,000
Speaker 18: TVs in my opinion, though you tend to pay a

2030
01:38:58,000 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 18: little bit of a Sony tax to get a Sony

2031
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 18: TV these.

2032
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: Days, but it's a Sony and you know, people, look,

2033
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 1: Sony is the brand that it stood the test of

2034
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 1: time and they still do make a great product. And

2035
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:11,559
Speaker 1: these are all fantastic picks. I love them. This is

2036
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 1: why I love talking to you. You explain TVs simpler

2037
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 1: than any human being out there. And you know, you

2038
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,880
Speaker 1: go into like a Best Buy or you know, all

2039
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:24,840
Speaker 1: these places were so just there's so many terms, and

2040
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,160
Speaker 1: there's so many things, and there's so many model numbers,

2041
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 1: and to just have it broken down in this way

2042
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: to understand what's the best. What can I get away with?

2043
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 1: If I like this, it's all perfect. And that's why

2044
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:35,080
Speaker 1: I have you on the show.

2045
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 2: Caleb.

2046
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:37,880
Speaker 1: How can folks find you online? How can they find

2047
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 1: your reviews and what you talk about?

2048
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 18: Well, you can find my written reviews at digitaltrends dot com,

2049
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 18: or if you actually want to see the TVs I'm

2050
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 18: talking about, you can go to our YouTube channel, Digital

2051
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 18: Trends on YouTube. I have a ton of videos there,

2052
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 18: not just explaining the technology, but also talking about the

2053
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 18: TVs that you will want to buy.

2054
01:39:57,280 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 1: All right, Caleb Dennison, Senior editor at Digital Trends, thanks

2055
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:02,519
Speaker 1: so much for joining me today. I'll put all your

2056
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:07,720
Speaker 1: picks on the website rich on Tech dot tv. Coming up,

2057
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 1: we will share some more of your questions in the

2058
01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:17,160
Speaker 1: feedbag segment. You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome

2059
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here closing out

2060
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 1: the show. This is rich on Tech. We're going to

2061
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:30,320
Speaker 1: go through a little, uh, kind of a lightning segment

2062
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 1: with some news items, and I'll get to your feedback segment.

2063
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 1: Meta is adding new nighttime nudges for teens on Instagram.

2064
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 1: So if your teen is on their phone late at

2065
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:48,360
Speaker 1: night surfing, reels, surf and Instagram, the phone is now

2066
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,479
Speaker 1: going to remind teens that they've been using the app

2067
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 1: too much and encourage them to close it and get

2068
01:40:52,760 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 1: to bed. This is going to happen when teens spend

2069
01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 1: more than ten minutes on Instagram, on reels or direct

2070
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:03,920
Speaker 1: messages late at night. It will remind teams that it's

2071
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 1: late and encourage them to close the app. Whether they

2072
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 1: do it is up to them. Wall Street Journal says

2073
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:14,160
Speaker 1: there's a huge cost hidden cost to subscriptions. Americans vastly

2074
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: underestimate how much they spend on subscriptions each month. If

2075
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 1: you ask them, they say probably about sixty two to

2076
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: ninety six dollars. The actual amount closer to two hundred

2077
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 1: and seventy three dollars. A lot of people forget to

2078
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: cancel subscriptions and don't realize they're still paying. The best

2079
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 1: way to get rid of subscriptions and clear out the

2080
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 1: subscriptions you have, you get a new card. Once you

2081
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 1: get a new card, because the old one is not

2082
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:45,520
Speaker 1: going to charge anymore, that you stop paying for those subscriptions. Interesting,

2083
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:49,679
Speaker 1: when vision Pro launches, there will not be some prominent

2084
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,599
Speaker 1: apps on board, Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube.

2085
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:54,720
Speaker 2: Nope, we're We're not going to be there.

2086
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 1: And some of them are even blocking their iPad apps

2087
01:41:58,120 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 1: from running on vision Pro, which means those are three

2088
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 1: big entertainment apps that will not be there. Wirecutter, one

2089
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 1: of my favorite reviews websites, has some new picks for

2090
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:13,920
Speaker 1: the best Wi Fi mesh networking systems. They say Euro

2091
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:18,559
Speaker 1: six is the best for most people. The Asus Zen

2092
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: Wi Fi ax is the best upgrade pick if you

2093
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:27,640
Speaker 1: have a really fast Internet plan and if you're want

2094
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 1: a budget, you want to budget pick the TP link

2095
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: Deco S four provides good coverage but at a lower price.

2096
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,640
Speaker 2: Once again on the Wirecutter.

2097
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: Consumer Report says each Facebook user is monitored by thousands

2098
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 1: of companies. Study by Consumer Reports analyzed Facebook data sharing

2099
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 1: from seven hundred and nine volunteers. On average, each person's

2100
01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 1: data was sent to Facebook by over two thousand different companies.

2101
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 1: Some had over seven thousand companies. Wow, data broker named

2102
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 1: live Ramp appeared in ninety six percent of participants data

2103
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:08,040
Speaker 1: major retailers like home Depot, Macy's, and Walmart. We're also

2104
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:12,200
Speaker 1: in the top one hundred data sharing companies. Keep in mind, friends,

2105
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 1: these companies. Yes, you love Macy's, you love home Depot,

2106
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 1: you love Walmart, you love Target, but they are marketing geniuses.

2107
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,840
Speaker 1: Their entire goal is to get you to love them

2108
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 1: so that you take your paycheck and you deposit it

2109
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:31,360
Speaker 1: into their account. Little by little, we all do it.

2110
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: You go into Costco. I saw a meme on Instagram.

2111
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:37,280
Speaker 1: It said I saved three hundred and forty seven dollars

2112
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: at Costco today by not going in for blueberries.

2113
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:41,840
Speaker 2: It's so true.

2114
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 1: Norton has a new AI tool to help you detect scams.

2115
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 1: It's called Norton Genie and it uses AI to analyze screenshots.

2116
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,320
Speaker 1: You can pop in a text message, you got, an email,

2117
01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:58,800
Speaker 1: or a social media post. It will scan it and

2118
01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: figure out if it is a scam or not. It's

2119
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:06,840
Speaker 1: available at Genie dot Norton dot com, or you can

2120
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 1: download the app on iOS and Android. So if you're

2121
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:13,439
Speaker 1: thinking this might be a scam, it could be and

2122
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:17,080
Speaker 1: this might help you figure it out. Let's get to

2123
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 1: the feedback. Janis says, I'm contacting you for a friend.

2124
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,799
Speaker 1: He was working for his girlfriend's company. His laptop was synced.

2125
01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:26,360
Speaker 1: He has now broken up with her, but his girlfriend

2126
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 1: has been accessing his laptop his iPhone, reading things, changing things,

2127
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,640
Speaker 1: locking him out of things. He spent hours on the

2128
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,640
Speaker 1: phone and in person with Apple and T Mobile. No

2129
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:38,840
Speaker 1: one can get her off his phone and laptop. Her

2130
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:44,720
Speaker 1: name in login is all over it. Any suggestions the janis,

2131
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 1: I doubt if Apple and T Mobile have looked into this,

2132
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 1: that they cannot get this person off the phone or

2133
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:55,599
Speaker 1: the laptop. Do a factory reset and that will take

2134
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 1: care of it. Both on the iPhone and on a

2135
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:01,840
Speaker 1: MacBook or computer. Just look for a factory reset that

2136
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: will wipe everything clean and it will be just fine.

2137
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: Shary says, hey, Rich, I love your show. I need

2138
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:11,599
Speaker 1: help with a dilemma. I was searching for Laker tickets

2139
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:14,639
Speaker 1: on a website. I dozed off holding my phone while

2140
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:17,599
Speaker 1: searching for two hundred dollars tickets. I was awakened by

2141
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 1: a text message from my credit card asking if I

2142
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 1: made a purchase for almost twenty thousand dollars. When I

2143
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 1: checked my account, it said I got two court side

2144
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:29,719
Speaker 1: seats for almost ten thousand dollars each. After doing some research,

2145
01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:32,720
Speaker 1: I found that the ticketing website I was looking at

2146
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:36,200
Speaker 1: saves your credit card info since I'd made previous purchases.

2147
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:38,960
Speaker 1: Do you think it's possible I purchased the tickets accidentally

2148
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 1: in my sleep or do you think I was hacked.

2149
01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:44,640
Speaker 1: I've disputed and I'm waiting a decision. Shary sounds like

2150
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 1: you're going to the Laker's court side. You just spent

2151
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:48,599
Speaker 1: a lot of money on that. No, I mean, look,

2152
01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you went through the entire flow

2153
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:56,920
Speaker 1: of this ticketing thing, you know, sleeping. I mean that

2154
01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:00,559
Speaker 1: would be a lot of like steps. Come on, there's

2155
01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:03,599
Speaker 1: either something you're not telling me here or you got

2156
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: to dispute these. Don't use the tickets because you want

2157
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:08,200

2166

Speaker 1: this tab on your browser, nobody else will be able

2167
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:43,280
