1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: How to lock down your phone number so no one

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: else can steal it. Nothing's New smartphone wants to replace

Speaker 1: also the place where I answer your questions about technology.

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: I believe the tech should be interesting, useful and fun.

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: Let's open up those phone lines at triple eight Rich

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: at truetrade dot com is going to share some tips

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: to help you get through the Prime Day, which is

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: happening this week. Well, I hope you're having a fantastic

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: Fourth of July weekend. We got to see some fireworks,

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: got to celebrate with friends, and I hope you are

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: doing the same. It wasn't lost on me that I

27
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: was in London this week for an event by a

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: startup called Nothing. I thought it was very ironic that

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: I visited the place that I guess gave birth to

30
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: our place here in America.

31
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: And you know, it was interesting.

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: I hadn't been to London in a long time, and

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: so being there the week of our Independence Day just

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: brought a lot of feelings in and a lot of stuff.

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Think about how just think about, just for a second,

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: how America broke free of England.

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: I mean, really think about that.

38
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Like here, you are a place, just a collection of

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: these little colonies across the pond, as they say, and

40
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: this big old country that's been around forever just sort

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: of loses control. I mean, that must have been really

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: wild back in the day. Anyway, I digress. I'll share

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: some thoughts about London later on, but let me tell

44
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: you about Nothing. This is a company that's the name yes,

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: Nothing and the name gives you a sense of kind

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: of what they're all about.

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: They're playful.

48
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: It's a design oriented company that's been making phones for

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: about five years now. A lot of the team is

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: from another company is to cover a lot called OnePlus,

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: but the founder there branched out and went on his

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: own to create something new and different, and this is it.

53
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: It's called the Nothing Phone. This is specifically the Nothing

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: Phone three. Now, the company's made a few phones over

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: the years, but not many of them were for the

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: US market. A lot of them were sold what's under

57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: what's called a beta program, which means if you bought

58
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: this thing, you had to be like a tech enthusiast

59
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: because you only had fourteen days to return it and

60
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: then you were on your own, no warranty, no support.

61
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: But this new phone then Nothing Phone three will be

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: sold in the US market, although I don't believe they

63
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: have any direct carrier support, so you're not gonna be

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: able to buy it from like a AT and T

65
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: or T Mobile as far as I know, You'll have

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: to buy it direct from them or from Amazon, which

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: is gonna make it an uphill battle for this phone,

68
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: which is a shame. Because I've been using it for

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: the past week and I really like it. If you're

70
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: watching streaming the show on KTLA plus, this is what

71
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: the phone looks like. It's got this really cool clear back,

72
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: it's got a whole bunch of cameras, and even this

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: little display on the back they call a glyph matrix.

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: It's like a little dot matrix display. Remember how I

75
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: said this is a design forward company. You're either gonna

76
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: love or hate the design when you see this phone.

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: It also has a blinking red light on the back

78
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: when you're recording. I mean, how cool is that? Like

79
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: a nod to the old days of cam quarters, right.

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: It's also a nice way in our record centric society

81
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: to let people know that you are recording video or audio.

82
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, there's that little dot matrix screen. They

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: call it the glyph matrix. This is a display that

84
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: can show things like the time countdowns, but also there's

85
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: fun stuff like a spin the Bottle game. I showed

86
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: this to some folks yesterday at our Fourth of July

87
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: celebrations and they're like, what do you mean Spin the

88
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: bottle is on that phone? When was the last time

89
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: you played Spin the Bottle I'm like, I don't know,

90
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: sixth grade, it's been a while, but let's play it tonight.

91
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it was all adults in a lot of

92
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: us were marriage so that was kind of weird. But

93
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: there's also a magic eight ball. If the spin the bottle.

94
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Things not your style. But this goes to show this

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: company is not trying to be the next Pixel, the

96
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: next Samsung, the next Apple. They know that this thing

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: will either, you know, make you love or hate it

98
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: when you see it. Now, in five years, nothing has

99
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: what they say three million fans, I'm guessing they've sold

100
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: about three milli devices right from that number. Compare that

101
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: to Apple, which sells about fifty million phones every three months,

102
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: so yeah, they sell considerably more. But back to the phone,

103
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: it's really nice. It's got a good processor, not the best,

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: but it's a very capable phone. I've had no problems

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: with it. They're actually using the latest battery technology, which

106
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: is called silicon carbon, which is really cool because not

107
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: many major phone makers are doing that just yet here

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: in the US. That means the battery charges faster, you

109
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: can pack more energy into a slimmer form factory form

110
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: factory form factor. This one also charges up to uses

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: fast charging up to sixty five watts, while the iPhone

112
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: and Samsung are somewhere around forty five at the max.

113
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure if the iPhone is that fast,

114
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: then you've got the software features. I'm gonna have an interview,

115
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: like I said a bit later in the show, to

116
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: talk about some of the reasoning behind Nothing's choices. But

117
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: this phone is built with features designed to help you

118
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: look at it less. Yes, how's that for a concept.

119
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: It also runs a really nice version of Android. Say

120
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: it's really close to the pixel, which is one of

121
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: the reasons I love it. It's clean, It has a

122
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: lot of nice but little useful touches in it, so

123
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: they don't do a ton with the software. They just

124
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: make it very useful and very appealing to the eye.

125
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: A couple of features in this Essential Search. This is

126
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: kind of like all your search on the iPhone, but

127
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: it's much more useful because it searches both stuff on

128
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: your phone, but when you ask something a little bit

129
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: more complicated, it will reach out to AI for an answer.

130
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Then there's this thing called Essential Space. This is like

131
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: an AI enhanced digital notebook. It can store your screenshots,

132
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: your voice memos, and more. It uses AI to organize

133
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: it all. So far, I can't figure out if there's

134
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: any search functionality there, which would be very helpful, but

135
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: maybe that's coming soon. Then there's this feature called flip

136
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: to Record. This is a way to record meetings. You

137
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: just press the button on the side of the phone.

138
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: They've got this dedicated key and you flip your phone over.

139
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: It will record and transcribe your meetings and give you

140
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: a summary. Now, you're limited to about three hundred minutes

141
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: for free each month, but if you're in meetings more

142
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: than that per month, I think you need to reassess

143
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: what you're doing with your life.

144
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: Just kidding.

145
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: People love meetings. People love to be in meetings. I

146
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: don't know what it is about meetings, like the before

147
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: the meeting, the meeting, the after the meeting, Like just

148
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: give me the information I need and I want to

149
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: get out of my life.

150
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: Then nothing.

151
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Phone three comes in white or black. Twelve gigabyte RAM

152
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: plus two hundred and fifty six gigabytes of storage.

153
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: That model will sell for eight hundred dollars.

154
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: Then there's a sixteen gigabyte RAM five to twelve that'll

155
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: sell for a little bit more. But here lies the problem.

156
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: This is an excellent phone. It's got three fifty megapixel cameras.

157
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: I think they look great. I took this thing around

158
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: London for an hour, snapping tons of pictures. I don't

159
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: think there's one bad one in the shop in the bunch.

160
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: I love the software. The hardware is capable. But the

161
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: problem is no one here in the US is gonna

162
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: buy it. You know why because think about it. If

163
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: you can't get it AT and T you can't get it.

164
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Verizon you can't get it T Mobile. That's where people

165
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: here in the US get their phones. They also like

166
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: to add their phone to their plan and divide up

167
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: the payments. This is how people buy things in the US.

168
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: If you need help with it, you can't go to

169
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: the Genius Bar. And that is all a shame because

170
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: this funky little startup out of London is actually making

171
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: a really good phone, but it's hamstrung. Only the nerdiest

172
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: of nerds like myself and phone enthusiasts willing to pep

173
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: up their iPhone or the Pixel or maybe their Samsung,

174
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: is gonna seek this thing out. Nothing really needs something.

175
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: See what I did there to help us break out

176
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: of the smartphone rut, the treadmill that keeps us coming

177
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: back to new iPhones every couple of years, new Samsung's,

178
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: and maybe a new pixel. But I think if someone

179
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: gets this device, they're gonna like it a lot. It

180
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: looks a little weird, I'll admit that, But isn't that

181
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: kind of fun these days? Like every phone I've tested

182
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: over the past ten years, I've taken out at parties

183
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: over the weekends, like literally day day in, day out,

184
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. I show them this phone, like, oh, it's

185
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: the new Samsung is Okay, what's it do differently? It's

186
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: got an extra it's got better cameras. Okay, Oh it's

187
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: a new iPhone. Look the screen stays out all the time. Okay,

188
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: why do I need that? No one cares. I literally,

189
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. When I had the brand new iPhone

190
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: with the always on display, this a couple of years ago.

191
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to show these things to people. I

192
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: made it a point when I went to my kids

193
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: baseball practice to put the phone face up on the

194
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: bleachers like at the game, to see if anyone would

195
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: notice why my screen was on on the iPhone. The

196
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: whole game with the time and the stuff that nobody

197
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: said it word, nobody cared. So anyway, if you put

198
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: this thing face down and people see it, they are

199
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: going to ask you questions about it, and I think

200
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: that's a good start. The Nothing Phone three is available

201
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: for pre order now, open sales start on July fifteenth.

202
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: If you want a link to see what it looks like,

203
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: go to my Instagram at rich on Tech. I also

204
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: picked up the Nothing headphones, which are equally as weird

205
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: as well. I'll talk about them coming up, all right,

206
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight eight

00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: My name is rich Demiro.

209

Speaker 1: We got lots ahead talking about tech, taking your questions,

210
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: tech news, all kinds of great stuff right here on

211
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

212
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: Demiro here hanging out with you talking technology on this.

213
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: Is it July fourth weekend or fourth of July? I

214
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,359
Speaker 1: feel like that's a let's see July fourth versus fourth

215
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: of July. I know that ap style. Okay, yeah, fourth

216
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: of July, so it's not Yeah, it's not July fourth.

217
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you could say whatever you want.

218
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: By the way, I told you I went to London

219
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: this week. It was only there for two days, which

220
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: was kind of wild, very quick turnaround. But when I

221
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: tell you that travel is so automated now, I don't

222
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: think I had to interact with one person on the

223
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: entire way from LA to London. And it's all automated

224
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: where you basically scan your passport or your face. I mean,

225
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: it's really wild that you just go through these systems

226
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: now that are just all automated, Like both here and

227
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: when I got to London, it was all completely automated.

228
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: The only downside I've noticed is that you don't get

229
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: a stamp in your passport because it's all automated, so

230
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: you can there was a sign on the wall that said,

231
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: if you want a passport stamp, I think you could

232
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: like go to some special window and they'll stamp it

233
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: for you.

234
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: But I you know, it's.

235
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Just like the changing way of I finally got global entry,

236
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: and so I'm not kidding. When you come back into

237
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: the US, there's like an iPad that you look at

238
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: and before you even look this thing scans your face

239
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: and somehow figures out that you know and opens up

240
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: the door.

241
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really, really wild.

242
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: It's come a long way since the days when I

243
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: was going to Japan and it would take you know,

244
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: just getting in and out would take an hour or two.

245
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to Cheryl in Oregon. Cheryl, you're on with Rich.

246
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. Hello Rich, Hello Cheryl.

247
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: I'm looking for the best hardware to take videos of

248
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: edible and medicinal plants and the best software to edit

249
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 3: the videos. Back in the nineteen eighty I did this

250
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: and at that time I was using I believe it

251
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: was eight millimeter And things have really changed. And as

252
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the various choices, I'm getting quite confused

253
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 3: as to what I really need because my needs are

254
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 3: really simplistic.

255
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: They do so Okay, So that was my question. Where

256
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 2: are these videos.

257
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: Living right now? They're on YouTube?

258
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: They're very old?

259
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: Okay, No, I mean like, where are the new videos

260
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: that are where's the videos you're making?

261
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: Where are they going to live social media?

262
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: They're going to be both on YouTube and on my website.

263
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: Okay? And are you shooting in four K?

264
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 4: I don't know what.

265
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to shoot in. Like I said, last time

266
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: I did this, I used eight millimeter and I've never

267
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: used digital for making videos, OK. And I was looking

268
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: at possibly even just using an iPhone and then using

269
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: the editing called iMovie on my iMac. Yes, but maybe

270
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: I need something that's a lie little more complicated.

271
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: No, you do not. Don't.

272
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: Don't complicate things when they don't need to be. I

273
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: edit video for a living, and I can tell you

274
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: my setup, and over the years it's actually gotten simpler,

275
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: which is just wild. So it is so easy to

276
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: create video for online number one. And I hang out

277
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: with a lot of YouTubers. Ninety nine point nine percent

278
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: of them shoot on their iPhone, So that's number one.

279
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: All you need is an iPhone and you can use

280
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: a new iPhone an old iPhone, it does not matter.

281
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: Just get an iPhone. You'll be fine.

282
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: And then for the hardware, like the computer, you need

283
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: some sort of MacBook so or okay, my delineation with

284
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: the laptop. If you're going to be moving around with

285
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: your computer, get a laptop. If you're not going to

286
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: be moving around, like if this thing's going to sit

287
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: on a desk, just get a desktop. You're going to

288
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: get better specs for the money, So don't buy a

289
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: laptop if you're not going to be moving it from

290
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: the place where you're editing or doing your work. For me,

291
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm traveling a lot. I'm always bringing my computer. That's

292
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: why I have a laptop. If I was sitting at

293
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: home editing all day, never leaving my desk, I would

294
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: absolutely have a desktop, because you get more bang for

295
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: your book when you go on the Apple website. There's

296
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: really two options when it comes to the laptop, So

297
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick to that because I imagine that's what

298
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: most people want. You've got the MacBook Pro or the

299
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: MacBook Air. I can tell you I edit video for

300
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: TV and I use my MacBook Air and it works

301
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: just fine. I've never had a problem. If you're doing

302
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: anything for social media, that's going to be just fine.

303
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: My advice is to get the most memory, like the

304
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: most ram that you can day one, and also the

305
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: most storage that you can. And also do not get

306
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,239
Speaker 1: the base processor. Get one just a little bit higher

307
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: than what they typically like, whatever the base model is

308
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: that they offer, don't get that one. Get the next

309
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: level up, okay, And then when it comes to actually

310
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: editing this video, I would recommend final cut. If you

311
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: want to pay for it, that's what I use on

312
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: a daily basis. Final Cut Pro is really good, but

313
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: it's really simple. It's similar to iMovie. You can start

314
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: with iMovie. I think that's going to be a little

315
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: simplistic for what you want. If you want to download

316
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: cap cut to your computer, you can do that if

317
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: you like.

318
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: That program, they offer a free program for your computer.

319
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: Adobe also has some video editing software that a lot

320
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: of people like, Premiere Or They also have a thing

321
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: called Rush, which is a little bit more basic. So

322
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: those are two good options. And then the other thing

323
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: I would recommend is really on your phone if you

324
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: just want to edit on your iPhone. I was just

325
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: using the brand new Instagram edits app and it is

326
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: incredible for free, Like I couldn't believe it. Like I'm

327
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: done with cap cut now because I don't need it anymore,

328
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: and it's completely free and that works on your iPhone.

329
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: So if you just want to shoot on your iPhone

330
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: and edit on your iPhone, that's an option as well.

331
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: And then the other thing I would recommend is if

332
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: you need microphones.

333
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: The Dji mics.

334
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Are pretty much the most amazing thing that I've added

335
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: to my system over the years.

336
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: So Dji Mike two.

337
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: This is going to give you great audio from your

338
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, from your mobile setup and it plugs right

339
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: into your iPhone or they record into themselves, no wires.

340
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: When I tell you, Cheryl that this has gotten so

341
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: much easier over the years, it really has. The only

342
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: other thing I'd probably recommend is a tripod, and uh,

343
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: I've got one linked up on my website that I like,

344
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: a brand new one I'm using. I think it's called

345
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: Ulawanzi and it's it's a really good little tripod that's

346
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: super simple, lightweight, you can carry it anywhere.

347
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: That's what I use.

348
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: I travel the world and this is how I record

349
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: my stories for TV and it works perfectly. It's simple,

350
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: it's easy. Don't try to get complicated unless you're making

351
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: a movie or something like that. If you're just doing

352
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: social media video videos for YouTube and your website, that

353
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: will be perfect. Thanks for calling eighty to eight rich

354
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: one on one eight eight eight seven four to two

355
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Coming up, I'll tell you how

356
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: you can lock down yourself number so no one can

357
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: steal it.

358
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: That's coming up right here. I'm rich on Tech.

359
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Well, you probably don't

360
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: think about one until you need it. But the technology

361
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: behind it is evolving and it could save more lives

362
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: if it gets more modernized. That includes texting nine one one,

363
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: also sharing your location automatically from your smartphone, which is

364
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: happening in a lot of places. The goal, of course,

365
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: is to make emergency response faster, smarter, and more effective.

366
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: So recently I attended the National Conference where first responders,

367
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: tech companies, and policy makers gather to discuss the future

368
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: of nine one one and what it means for you

369
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: to start. I spoke with Dale Curtis of the NINA

370
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: nine one one association they put on the conference. He

371
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: represents the twenty five thousand people across the country who

372
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: pick up that call when you need help.

373
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: So NINA represents twenty five thousand people who work in

374
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: nine one one all across the country. There are six

375
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 5: thousand emergency calls in this country. Almost every community or

376
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 5: county has one right so it's the people who answer

377
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 5: the calls, manage the calls, do the supervising, the training,

378
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 5: and provide the technology.

379
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: And what are some of the challenges facing nine to

380
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: one one in our country?

381
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 5: The perennial challenges in nine to one one are people, technology,

382
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 5: and then funding and leadership, so there's lots of issues

383
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 5: with recruitment, retention and taking care of those hardworking people.

384
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 5: The technology, most number one centers are still using what

385
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 5: we call legacy nine one one, which means you call them,

386
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 5: you have a voice conversation. But there's a new technology

387
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 5: called Next Generation nine one one, which is based on

388
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 5: Internet and data protocol, so everything your smartphone can do.

389
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 5: The NNAL one center ought to be able to do photos, videos,

390
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 5: precise location. You could have your pre configured emergency medical

391
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 5: information that could go on ammatically to NOMAL one. All

392
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: those kinds of things that your your phone can do

393
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 5: and we take for granted. But legacy no one one

394
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 5: is just a voice conversation. Most places, you can send

395
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 5: a text to nine one one. We always say call

396
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 5: if you can, but text if you can't. Kidnapping situation

397
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 5: or a domestic abuse situation, or you're afraid of making

398
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: any noise, you can send a text to nine one

399
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 5: in most places.

400
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: Today.

401
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 6: America needs Next generation nine one one.

402
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: They need it everywhere.

403
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 6: You should get the same service, whether you're calling from

404
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 6: Long Beach, California, or Long Island, New York. Everyone should

405
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 6: have the same standard.

406
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 5: And expect to get at a fast, efficient, effective emergency response.

407
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: And the goal of all this is what save lives.

408
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 5: Ultimately, lives are at stake. Seconds can make a huge

409
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 5: difference between life and depth in every emergency.

410
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 7: Don Berningham, I'm the executive director for the Industry Council

411
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 7: for Emergency Response Technologies.

412
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: What about AI? Are we going to have AI answering

413
00:19:59,640 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: non onal one?

414
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you'll see a lot of AI applications. A

415
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 7: lot of companies have already begun to implement AI as

416
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 7: part of their call handling system and their response systems.

417
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 7: We're not currently seeing that for emergency calls. We are

418
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 7: seeing AI used to answer non emergency calls, but certainly

419
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 7: over time we're going to see more of it in

420
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 7: use with emergency calls as well, and to pull other

421
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 7: data into the center that can be used for first responders.

422
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: When they arrive on the sea.

423
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 7: But I think what you're going to see over time

424
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 7: more multimedia applications with nine one one, So if you

425
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 7: witness a crime, you can send a picture or a

426
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 7: video to the center that they can pass on to

427
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 7: a law enforcement officer. You know, really the problem is

428
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 7: implementation and getting funding for it, and you'll find that

429
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 7: around the country there's quite a large disparity between those

430
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 7: states that have the funding to implement the technology and

431
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 7: those that don't.

432
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 8: Jim wolf A Murder Moral Solutions. We're right in the

433
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 8: midst of significant evolution of technology that really accelerates the

434
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 8: way in which we're able to respond to a call

435
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 8: in a more informed manner. So when you dial nine

436
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 8: one one from the telephone, it goes into what we

437
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 8: call a peace app or public safety answering point. It's

438
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 8: a nine one one center. You'll have a call taker

439
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 8: that will answer to call nine one one, what's your

440
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 8: emergency typically what you'll hear, and they'll start gathering information

441
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 8: around where you located, what's happening, and they'll enter that

442
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 8: into the computer system and then it will pass along

443
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 8: to a dispatcher who will send it in a sign

444
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 8: and resource whether it's fire, police, or ems to go

445
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 8: to that call for service. So what we've seen nine

446
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 8: to one one originally started in the nineteen sixties, primarily

447
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 8: on a copper line that ran into a center. We

448
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 8: still see this a lot around the country today, where

449
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 8: it's a copper line running in and they use addresses

450
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 8: primarily to get location. Well, today we know that about

451
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 8: eighty percent or four out of five nine one one

452
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 8: calls are being made on a cellular telephone. Google and Apple,

453
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 8: we're able to send precise information so that when the

454
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 8: caller calls in, they're able to precisely locate that spot

455
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 8: on a map. It's incredibly helpful for nine to one

456
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 8: one centers to be able to get people to the

457
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 8: right spot more quickly. You know, there are ways in

458
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 8: which people can go into programs like smart nine to

459
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 8: one one dot com that allows people to be able

460
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 8: to connect valuable information to their mobile telephone number around

461
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 8: say allergies or maybe they have a child that has

462
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 8: autism and they shouldn't be touched. So information for first

463
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 8: responders that can be passed through regardless of where you're

464
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 8: at in the country. It's a tremendous resource.

465
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: What about the keywords detected I'm seeing?

466
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 8: What's the AI from a nine to one to one

467
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 8: standpoint really helps do some things that are revolutionary inside

468
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 8: of a nine one one center, For example, being able

469
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 8: to transcribe nine to one one calls in real time.

470
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 8: That's huge, And then we can index it and characterize

471
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 8: it in the way that we could search again to

472
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 8: look for words like knife, gun, shooting, bomb fire. You

473
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 8: get the example keywords where you can make automatic notifications,

474
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 8: so commsupervisors and other people can begin to pick up

475
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 8: on high risk events that are occurring now. Conversely, things

476
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 8: and this is common every day around the country, around

477
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 8: the world, is foreign language being called into a center

478
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 8: that's not native maybe to the call taker. So using

479
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 8: AI and emerging technologies to detect the foreign languages being spoke,

480
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 8: to transcribe it in real time, and to provide the

481
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 8: call taker with information back in their native language that

482
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 8: allows them to make better, more in foreign choices about

483
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 8: who to send, how to resource that call, and how

484
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 8: to get people there more quickly. So, the FCCCENE recently

485
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 8: commissioned a study that estimated that in the US alone,

486
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 8: ten thousand lives could be saved annually with the reduction

487
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 8: of one minute from the time in nine to one

488
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 8: to one call is made until properly equipped first responders

489
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 8: arrive at seat. That's so, when we think ten thousand

490
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 8: lives annually, how can we accelerate it and how can

491
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 8: we produce information that delivers a more informed response, or

492
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 8: ways that technology can really help to be able to

493
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 8: accelerate that in ways it was never seen before.

494
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 9: Nora Lagrani with Aliyrium and I am the director of

495
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 9: product for our new cloud call handling solution called Mira.

496
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 9: Mira is what we believe is the evolution of call

497
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 9: handling solutions. So you know, today we're getting new ways

498
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 9: in which people can request assistance, whether it is sensors,

499
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 9: whether it is your watches, whether it is you know,

500
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 9: just general calling or even texting to nine one one,

501
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 9: and all of that comes with important information that has

502
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 9: to get to the first responder and the person that

503
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 9: is responding to the call. And what Mira does is

504
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 9: it helps make those connections deliver the right information at

505
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 9: the right time to the person that's there in all

506
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 9: of the different forms that it can come in.

507
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot of calls that come in for say

508
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: the same things.

509
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 9: So think about there is a car accident on the

510
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 9: highway right and there's ten twenty thirty calls. People are

511
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 9: driving by and let oh there's a car accident, let

512
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 9: me dial nine one one. That's great, but the call

513
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 9: takers taking that are now getting inundated with the same

514
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 9: calls for the same incidents, but there's also other things

515
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 9: going on, and so they have to quickly be able

516
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 9: to go through those calls and be able to just

517
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 9: tackle those. So what MIRAH can do is automatically set

518
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 9: up an area where we say, okay, if you're calling

519
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 9: from this area around this crash, we can play a

520
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 9: message that says, hey, if you're calling about the crash

521
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 9: on I ninety, then you know, police fire ems so

522
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 9: on their way, thank you so much. If you're calling

523
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 9: about something else, then stay on the line and then

524
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 9: they're added to the queue. This helps kind of filter

525
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 9: out those additional calls that are all around the same

526
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 9: thing and really focus the call takers on kind of

527
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 9: that main emergency is that are all different?

528
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: All right?

529
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 1: That was from the NINA nine one one conference, and

530
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: I know they mentioned that website in there to fill

531
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: out a profile that if you call nine one one,

532
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: it will put that information on the dispatch you person's screen.

533
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: It's smart nine one one dot com smart nine one

534
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: one dot com. You can go in there fill out

535
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: information like allergies, household information, and if the dispatch center

536
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: supports that technology, they can actually see that information when

537
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: you call in, So I'll link that up on the

538
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: website rich on tech dot tv. Also on the website,

539
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: if you go there, you can get show notes. This

540
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: is episode one hundred twenty eight, So if you go

541
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: to the website you can see the show notes for

542
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: everything I mentioned, including thes how you can listen to

543
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: the show, how you can subscribe to the podcast, and

544
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: of course how to get in touch with the show.

545
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: The phone number is triple eight Rich one oh one

546
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four two four one zero one.

547
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: You can also go to the website and leave your

548
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: question there. Just go to rich on tech dot tv.

549
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: Once you're there, hit contact and that will send a

550
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: message right to my screen. All right, as we got

551
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: a minute before we got to go to break, I'll

552
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: do this quick quick quick question here. Let's see here

553
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: Dave from California Rights and I got a question about

554
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: selling home phone. So if I wanted to get rid

555
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: of our landline, can the number we've had for forty

556
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: years be added or forwarded to a cell phone? Check

557
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: out porting it the idea of porting it to a

558
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: virtual service. There's a website called number barn dot com.

559
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: Number barn dot com. You can port it there and

560
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: basically do a bunch of things with it from there,

561
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: like forward it to another number or just keep it there.

562
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: And so it depends how much you want to pay.

563
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: It's two dollars a month for starting prices. That'll just

564
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: keep the number active in your name, because once you

565
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: get rid of this number.

566
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: It's not easy to get back.

567
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: So if you've had it for a long time, that's

568
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: something you probably want to do again. Number barn dot com.

569
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, I will tell you how AT

570
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: and T has a new feature to help you lock

571
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: down your line if you don't want someone else to

572
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: steal it from under you. This is rich on Tech.

573
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

574
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at triple eight rich one

575
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: on one eight eight eight seven four to two four

576
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: one zero one. AT and T has this new wireless

577
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: account lock feature that lets you prevent any changes that

578
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: are not authorized to your AT and T account, which

579
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: is uh simswaps, any device swaps. So this is really

580
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: for simswap attacks. So this is when someone basically takes

581
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: over your cellular account, either changes your number to their

582
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: device or physically removes a SIM card and puts it

583
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: into another device. So this was a big problem. Both

584
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: Verizon and T Mobile have ways of preventing this. AT

585
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: and T was a notable holdout, but now they have it.

586
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: So it's called wireless account lock. You can toggle it

587
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: on in the my AT and T app look for

588
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: the toggle switch. You can lock or unlock the account

589
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: at any time. The main thing is if you turn

590
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: on this lock, you're not gonna be able to switch phones,

591
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: right like, you wouldn't be able to pourt out your

592
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: phone number to a different carrier, and you would not

593
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: be able to upgrade your smartphone. So with that in mind,

594
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: you would have to turn this off before you want

595
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: it to make any of those changes. That's the main

596
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: thing you need to know. It doesn't really change anything else.

597
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: But AT and T says that most of this fraud

598
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: happens when someone pretends to be you, so they might

599
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: call like AT and T and say, hey, you know

600
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: this is me and I'm here's my They gather all

601
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: this information about your account from somewhere online, mostly from

602
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: data breaches or if they trick you into handing it

603
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: over to them, and then they use that and they

604
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: call and then by the way. Once they have your

605
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: phone number, they go in and start hacking all of

606
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: your other accounts, like your bank account, your crypto account,

607
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: your email. Because now they have control of your phone number,

608
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: that means they have control of your two factor authentication codes.

609
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: They can get those. So this was a big problem.

610
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: In some cases. Even employees at the wireless stores were

611
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: in on it. And so if you enable this wireless

612
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: account lock on AT and T, not even their employees

613
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: can override it. So it's really smart and you should

614
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: probably do it if you're not going to be changing

615
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: your phone or anything, just to give you a secondary

616
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: layer of protection. I think the carriers have gotten some

617
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: more layers of protection built in, but this is a

618
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: new one that just really locks down everything and says

619
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: no changes to this account unless I go in and

620
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: turn this off. So I made a whole tutorial on

621
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: my website, rich on tech dot TV. If you go there,

622
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: look for the story that says AT and T ads

623
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: simswap protection. And I've put the instructions for not only

624
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: AT and T, but also Verizon T Mobile, and then

625
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: I've linked up instructions for Cricket, Google five, Mint Mobile,

626
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: Spectrum Mobile, US Mobile, Visible and Exfinity. Almost all the

627
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: carriers have some sort of provision of protecting your account,

628
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: whether it is a pin code on your account or

629
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: this physical lock on your account. Well physical, I guess

630
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: it's a virtual lock, but I would check it out

631
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: for sure.

632
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to Dan in San Francisco. Dan, you're

633
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: on with Rich.

634
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 10: Hey, let's thanks for taking my call.

635
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: Sure, what's up?

636
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 10: Well, I've got an iPhone twelve Pro and just recently

637
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 10: the flashlight and the front facing I guess I don't know.

638
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 10: The main cameras stopped working. I checked my software is

639
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 10: all up to date, there's no obstructions. That's hoping you

640
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 10: can help me.

641
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: With that, and both of those things just stopped working. Yeah,

642
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: the front.

643
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 10: Colt my selfie cam does still work, and I've tried

644
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 10: it on I've tried the camera option on other apps

645
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 10: like Facebook and Instagram, and and the camera works there,

646
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 10: but it's just not on the It won't work on.

647
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: The camera on the regular camera.

648
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's not a physical hardware thing. It sounds

649
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: like it's a software thing. What about the flashlight you

650
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: said that doesn't work?

651
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how is that? Okay? So when you how

652
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: are you toggling on the flashlight on.

653
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 10: The on the home screen. There's a little button down

654
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 10: on the bottom left when I when I touch it,

655
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 10: I feel that the vibration right, but the light doesn't

656
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 10: come on.

657
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, so it sounds like your flashlight could be

658
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: at a low setting. That could be Number one. Have

659
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: you tried swiping from the upper right hand corner to

660
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: bring up control center on your phone?

661
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: I have not.

662
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So when your phone is when you're looking at

663
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: your phone, there's a way to swipe from the upper

664
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: right hand corner and it brings a whole bunch of

665
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: settings up.

666
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: Do you see all those.

667
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 10: I can find it? Okay, I'm talking on.

668
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: Okay, got it? Okay, So what I would do is

669
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: just check to see if the flashlight. If you swipe

670
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: from the upper right hand corner when your phone is unlocked,

671
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: you'll get what's called the control center. There should be

672
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: a flashlight icon in there. Tap that flashlight icon and

673
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: see if it triggers your flashlight. And then also you

674
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: can press and hold that icon once it's well, depends

675
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: on the version of your phone. It used to be

676
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: press and hold. Now mine brings up a secondary thing.

677
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: But you can either press and hold or you can

678
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: see the little there's like a little section that shows

679
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: up with the with the animation of a flashlight, and

680
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: if you press that up and down, you'll notice that

681
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: it adjusts the intense intensity of the flashlight the brightness.

682
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: So you may have yours all the way turned down.

683
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what's happening here. It sounds like to me,

684
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: but but that's what I would do, is check to

685
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: see if you can. If you can toggle it on

686
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: from control center. You may have to add that control

687
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: in settings if it's not there, but it should be

688
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: there by default. So that's the two things there for

689
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: the camera. Since it's working in the other apps. It

690
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: does sound like it's some sort of software issue. So

691
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: if you have gone through everything like restarting your phone,

692
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 1: which you've tried it sounds like, I hope you've tried,

693
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: that you've updated your software, which it sounds like you've tried.

694
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: I would make sure there's no screen time restrictions on anything,

695
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: make sure you have no accessibility features turned on. The

696
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: thing that you probably want to do first is there

697
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: is an option in settings called reset all settings, and

698
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: so you can go to Settings General and then it

699
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: says transfer or reset phone. I know it sounds scary,

700
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: but if you tap that, there is an option called reset.

701
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: You tap that, and then there's an option called reset

702
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: all Settings. I really wish that Apple would not hide

703
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: this so deep into the settings, because if you see reset,

704
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: you're not going to use it right because it sounds

705
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: really scary. It sounds like it's going to erase everything

706
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: on your phone. But if you tap reset all Settings,

707
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: that's going to reset almost every personalized feature on your

708
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: phone without resetting or without erasing any data. Try that first,

709
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: restart your phone, see if the flashlight and the camera

710
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: work properly there. If none of that works, then I

711
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: would do what's called a erase all content in Settings.

712
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: That's going to actually factory format your phone back to

713
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: clearing everything out.

714
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: And if things still don't work, make.

715
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: Sure your phone's backed up before you do that, because

716
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: you will have to bring the data back over. If

717
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: it still doesn't work after that, you got to bring

718
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: it to an Apple store. Eighty to eight rich one

00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, the Nothing Phone three.

732
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: It's pretty unique.

Speaker 1: It's got some unique features, got unique software AI built in,

734

Speaker 1: and a lot of it is engineered to help you

00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: use your phone less, like all this doom scrolling we

736
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: do all day, which I know we're all guilty of it.

737
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: But this phone is it's got a little display on

738
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: the back that will show your notifications and things so

739
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: that you can leave it face down and focus on

740
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: the people around you.

Speaker 2: It looks like someone dropped off. We got Frank. Frank.

743
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich. Oh, hi, Rich, this is thank job.

744
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 4: I'm kling to find out if there's a good replacement

745
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 4: for landline. I've been told of magic Jack as an option.

746
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 4: I was wondering what you think of it, or you know,

747
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 4: have a better option than using you know to replace

748
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 4: the land line home?

749
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: Uh, well, what are you trying to do with this

750
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: landline phone? Like, are you just trying to have like

751
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: a just your old line just with a with Wi

752
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: Fi or whatever?

753
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 4: Well, no, that the landline. Let me, I've had here

754
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: for many years, I've lived here. But the main reason

755
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 4: I want to keep it is because it's hooked up

756
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 4: to my home alarm system and becomes a much bigger

757
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 4: tack for me to get rid of it and go

758
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 4: with a different alarm system. So I want I want

759
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 4: to have a landline that works when somebody calls in

760
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 4: from you know, any number.

761
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: Okay, but but.

762
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: Uh well magic Jack has been around for a long

763
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: time and it's it. You know, it works as advertised.

764
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: Let me see how much of it is these days

765
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars Now. The question with magic jacket used

766
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: to require plugging into a computer for it to work.

767
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 2: So uh, use your.

768
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: High speed internet to connect to your magic Jack device?

769
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: Do they make a standalone device? Uh?

770
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, I haven't looked at all

771
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 4: the options.

772
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm looking at this and it looks like

773
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: you do have to connect this to some sort of computer, which, yeah,

774
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: so that would be a little bit more tricky because

775
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to plug this into your computer's USB

776
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: and then plug the Ethernet into it, and then plug

777
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: your phone line into it. So it's kind of like

778
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: you need it sounds as far as I remember, this

779
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: used to work. You had to have a computer running

780
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: to basically work with the service the whole time. So

781
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: I think a better solution for what you're talking about

782
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: would probably be Umaoma.

783
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: Have you heard of that?

784
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 4: No?

785
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So Uma they make a standalone device that you

786
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: can plug in and it's just works as I mean,

787
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: it does exactly what you're talking about. It just replaces

788
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: your phone line with this device. So you plug in

789
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: the device into your wall. You can either connect it

790
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: via Wi Fi or you can connect it with an

791
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: Ethernet and then you plug your phone into there and

792
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: that's it. It just works like a regular phone line

793
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: after that, so you can get you know, depends on

794
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: the product you get. Let's see here, I'm looking for

795
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: the basic home phone service is so the device is

796
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars one time costs and the monthly phone

797
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: service is free. You have to pay taxes and fees

798
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: which usually run about ten to twelve dollars a month.

799
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: So that's probably what i'd recommend if I were you,

800
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: just for the ease of use. And then you can

801
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: also use this as a regular phone line as well,

802
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: so you get unlimited calling and things like that. Oh

803
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: right now they've got the fifty dollars off, so you

804
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: can even do that as well. So the website, the

805
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: website Frank is umaooma dot com. I think that's probably

806
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: going to be a better bet than the magic jack

807
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: for what you're talking about.

808
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 4: Thank you very much for the advice. And as far

809
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 4: as keep being able to keep the same number, you think.

810
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: Yes, you have to do what it's called a poor

811
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: in so you need to. You know, you'll pour out

812
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: the phone number from your old device and you'll pour

813
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: it into the new device. I would go on whatever

814
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: carrier you have right now for that phone number. I

815
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: would Google poured out and see what the instructions are

816
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: because sometimes they're very specific, and then I would go

817
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: to the UMA website and just google port in phone

818
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: number UMA and get the instructions there. Read all those

819
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: instructions thoroughly, and then you can pourt out your number

820
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: from one place and bring it over to the other place.

821
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 2: It's a pretty simple situation.

822
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 4: All right, Great, thank you very much for good advice.

823
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: All right, Frank Enjoy great question. Always when people want

824
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: to keep their phone number or switch it. You know,

825
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: it's funny. I've taken for granted that I've known about

826
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: UMA for so long. I mean, Magic Jack's been around

827
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: for a very long time as well, but it's still

828
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: like not everyone knows about it. Let's see here we have,

829
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: Greg writes in from Huntington Beach, Hey Rich with prime

830
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: days coming soon, What are the best sounding Bluetooth always

831
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: canceling headphones you'd recommend for top sound quality and value?

832
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: Great question, Greg, I test them all, although I haven't

833
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: tested the top choice, which is what everyone loves.

834
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 2: I've tested the.

835
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Older model, but I haven't gotten around to the newer

836
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: model yet. But I would say overall, the top noise

837
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: canceling headphones, according to pretty much everyone I know, are

838
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,919
Speaker 1: the Sony wh one thousand x six. They just came

839
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: out best overall, incredible sound, great noise cancelation, very comfortable.

840
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: Those are what pretty much everyone I know uses on

841
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: the long international flights we're taking, so i'd say that's

842
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: number one. They're expensive though they're not cheap, but you

843
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: were saying, you know, over Prime Day they'll probably maybe

844
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: they'll go on sale. The problem with Prime Day a

845
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: lot of times the main item does not go on

846
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: sale like the current year. It's usually the year's past.

847
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: But you'd be just fine with the XM fives or

848
00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: fours or whatever. But that's number one. Number two obviously

849
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: the Bows quiet comfort headphones. Those are perennial favorites. Everyone

850
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: loves those. They're gonna be just as expensive, but they

851
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: might go on sale during the Prime Day as well. Now,

852
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: if you have an iPhone and you want the best

853
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: for the iPhone, the AirPods max USBC is really nice.

854
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: They're brand new.

855
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: They're very expensive, but if you have an iPhone, it

856
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: keeps you connected to that Apple ecosystem, and that means

857
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: if you have an iPhone and a Mac computer, they're

858
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna switch seamlessly between those two devices, which is really nice.

859
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: They sound good, the noise canceling is good. Some people

860
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: are turned off by the fact that they're very iconic

861
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: looking those AirPods Max like you know, people weren't to

862
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: the gym and things people think is a status symbol.

863
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they are expensive, so they probably are, but

864
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: they do sound They do sound good, and they work

865
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: very nicely with the Apple products. Now, if you want

866
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: something you said best value anchor Soundcore Life Q thirty's

867
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: are pretty good for noise cancelation and they're under one

868
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,439
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. They'll probably be even cheaper during prime day.

869
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: That's if you just want something that's pretty basic and

870
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: not very expensive. Now there's two other pairs of headphones

871
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: that I think are worth checking out, depending on what

872
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: you want. The Nothing Headphones one which would I've been

873
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: talking about today on the show Cool Design.

874
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: I think they have great audio.

875
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: I wore them pretty much the entire flight there and

876
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: back to London, about ten hours each way.

877
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: They sound excellent.

878
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: They have physical buttons on them, which I love, and

879
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: they're very easy to understand, so they've got pretty unique.

880
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: The buttons on these things are something that you don't

881
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 1: really see everywhere. It's got a physical on and off switch,

882
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: it's got a physical button to pair them for Bluetooth,

883
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: although I couldn't find it when it was on the plane,

884
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:42,720
Speaker 1: which was really annoying.

885
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of hidden.

886
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: It's got a rotating button that also clicks, which is

887
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: great for volume. And then it's got almost like a

888
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: flipper switch button which can fast forward or rewind your track.

889
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: Is like skip ahead, skip back, but if you do

890
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: you press and hold, it is scrubs through your music.

891
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: If it's on a supported audio program like I don't

892
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: know which one supports. I try it on Spotify. I

893
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: wasn't really sure if that worked or not. I didn't

894
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: hear the scrubbing, but they say that some of the

895
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: audio apps will support that, so that's really cool. Like

896
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: if you want to rewinder fast forward like you did

897
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: back in the old day on the tape, so it'll

898
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: do that. And then it's got another physical button that

899
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: will activate your you can program it to do a

900
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: whole bunch of things like activate your AI assistant. So

901
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: those are cool. And they come in at just three

902
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, which I know is still expensive, but a

903
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: lot cheaper than some of the other four hundred and

904
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: fifty dollars headphones out there. So that's another one. And

905
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: then finally Sos Ace. These are headphones. If you already

906
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: have Sonos speakers or a soundbar, you want them to

907
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: work with that. They're very comfortable. The noise canceling is great.

908
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: I really like them a lot, even though I'm at

909
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: odds with Sonos right now. But those sound good as well.

910
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: So gave you a lot of options there, Greg, I

911
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: think put them all in your cart, see which ones

912
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: drop in price.

913
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: And I think you'll be happy with any of those.

914
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: You guys send me so many emails every week, so

915
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm just going to go through them this week. Down

916
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: from spring Hill, Florida, says I just bought an inexpensive

917
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: Samsung phone to use for calls and texts. I can

918
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: send text fine, but I'm not receiving texts from iPhones.

919
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: The store told me iPhone users may need to change

920
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: a setting to send text to Android, but that's not

921
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: realistic for my husband or friends. I can't afford to

922
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: switch to an iPhone. Any suggestions, don I've never heard

923
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: of a special setting that to receive text from an

924
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: iPhone user, so I'm baffled. I think that whoever told

925
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: you that at the store just wanted you to buy

926
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: an iPhone, and that's not the case. SMS is universal.

927
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: It works across every phone and every carrier all across

928
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: the world. So the only thing I've noticed, and this

929
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: is more of an Apple problem than your problem, is

930
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: that if someone is trying to text you that has

931
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: tried to text you in the past on an iPhone,

932
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: it sometimes does not go through because I message gets confused.

933
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: So what I would do, since you recently switch phones,

934
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: is have that person say, hey, if you're if this

935
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,959
Speaker 1: text is not going through, delete the whole text chain

936
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: and start over, and that typically fixes the problem.

937
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 2: Now, my wife will fight me on this one.

938
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: She'll say, well, group text don't work with iPhone and Android.

939
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, they do. I'm on a lot of

940
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: group texts with iPhone Android. They may not work exactly

941
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: the same, and everyone in that message may not be

942
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: blue Bubble, but it's still gonna send the messages and

943
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: even reactions work at this point I've noticed. So it's

944
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: with our cs and all that. Now, what kind of

945
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: phone did you say you got inexpensive Samsung? I mean,

946
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: unless it's a flip phone. Look, there's no issue with

947
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: texting between iPhone and Android. The only issues are with

948
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: the people that are on iPhone making fun of the

949
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: people and Android.

950
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: That's the only issue I identify at this point.

951
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: Eight to eight rich one on one eight eight eight

952
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one.

953
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 2: Coming up more of your emails. Plus I'll tell you why.

954
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: Amazon is warning you to be careful. This is rich

955
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: on Tech. Welcome back to rich Tech. Rich DeMuro here

956
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: hanging out with you, talking technology at triple eight rich

957
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: one oh one eight eight eight seven four to two

958
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Uh, just looking at an email

959
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,959
Speaker 1: here from Let's see from Allen. He says magic Jack

960
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: does allow to plug into Ethernet. Yes, but let's see.

961
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: Uh hmm, okay, magic Jack requirements. We were talking about

962
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: getting magic Jack versus Uma. But it's interesting, Okay, Okay,

963
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: here we go. Magic Jack devices can be powered by

964
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: a USB wall charger or a standard there you go.

965
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: So it's uh, it looks like it needs a computer

966
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 1: like it used to, but you don't need that anymore.

967
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: So so yeah, in that case, I would say you

968
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: might want to just look at the price of each

969
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: and see how much magic Jack is for a year

970
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: versus service with Uma. Uma might be too much depending

971
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: so yeah, it looks like it plugs in. You need

972
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: like a little USB adapter. That's what that you USBs for. Okay,

973
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: got it. That's why I like having the email so

974
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: we can get real time feedback on some of the

975
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: things we talk about. Here two apps to tell you

976
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: about this week. Number one, Rotten Tomatoes has launched an

977
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: official app on iOS. And this is the This is

978
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: the website that a lot of people like for their

979
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: movie ratings. It confused me for so long, right, this

980
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: whole idea of Rotten Tomatoes. I always thought that Rotten

981
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: Tomatoes was a bad rating. I'm like, wait, that means

982
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: it's good if it has a good Rotten Tomatoes Like,

983
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: I never understood that with some proprietary algorithm that gives

984
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: it a percentage twenty percent, thirty, fifty, sixty, seventy eighty

985
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: up to one hundred percent, and the higher the percentage

986
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: the better. Those critics like that, and I think at

987
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: some point it's like certified fresh, right. And then they

988
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: also do the popcorn Meter, which is the audience reviews,

989
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: and so audience members can go on there and review

990
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: the movie and rate it, and then you get that number. Now,

991
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: most of the time those number can line up, but

992
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: a lot of times they do not like a movie

993
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: could be critically panned. You know, they don't like it,

994
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: but the audience loves it, or the audience hates a

995
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: movie but the critics liked it. So sometimes those numbers

996
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: can be very different. But anyway, Rotten Tomatoes does have

997
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: an official app for iPhones, So if you love Rotten

998
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: Tomatoes you live and die by those scores. You can

999
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: download this app and create a watch list of the

1000
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: movies you want to see, discover the movies that you

1001
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: want to watch, and I of course leave your own

1002
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: ratings and reviews. They also have built in AI called

1003
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: rt I don't know what that means, but you can

1004
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: search for movies and things. I asked like, what's the

1005
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: movie like back to the Future, and it said back

1006
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: to the Future. Said okay, what's something else like back

1007
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: to the Future. So it's still a work in progress

1008
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: and I don't think this is as full featured as

1009
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: my favorite app right now, which is called Just Watch.

1010
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 2: Just Watch is a lot simpler.

1011
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: This one will tell you Rotten Tomatoes will tell you

1012
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: where things are streaming as well, so if it's on

1013
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: like Netflix or Max or whatever, you can see that,

1014
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: but just watch will let you sort in so many

1015
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: different ways and also show you the stuff that's just

1016
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: playing on your streaming services. So if you're only paying

1017
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: for Netflix, you can filter all your movies and your

1018
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: watch lists just by Netflix, which is really handy. So again,

1019
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes did the thing that I don't like. But

1020
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: they came out on iOS first and then Android coming soon.

1021
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, I get why these companies do it,

1022
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: but Rotten Tomatoes is a huge company, just come out

1023
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 1: with the iOS and Android at the same time. Why

1024
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: do you have to make us android or it's just

1025
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: Android folks in general wait, like, why give that one

1026
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: experience and then everyone else has to wait? So again,

1027
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes available on iOS now, Android version coming soon.

1028
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: Then the other app that I want to tell you

1029
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: about this week, which I really like too, is called

1030
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: Hello Weather. So if you're looking for like a simple

1031
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,959
Speaker 1: weather app, I really like this one, and it's both

1032
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: on iOS and Android at the same time. Now, this

1033
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: app has been out for a while, but it just

1034
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: got a total redo, major overhaul. Everything from the design

1035
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: to performance they say is brand new. The app was

1036
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: completely rewritten, so especially on the iPhone, it's going to

1037
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: look a lot better, but it works great on the

1038
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: Android as well. And what I like about this app

1039
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: is it's just simple. You can see everything on one page,

1040
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: like really easily. So if I tap into Hello Weather,

1041
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the forecast, it's got your main forecast

1042
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: front and center right at the top, and then it's

1043
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: got this afternoon, tells you what's happening for the rest

1044
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: of the day. Then it's got this week and it

1045
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: shows you nice, easy to see stuff and that's it.

1046
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: It's very, very simple.

1047
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: And then if you tap Radar, oh, that's where they

1048
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: get you. You got to upgrade for pro feature. So

1049
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: if you want the radar feature, you do have to upgrade,

1050
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: and it depends on the price you know you want

1051
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: to pay either monthly, annually, or one time. I love

1052
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 1: how they say annually is the best deal for six

1053
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: dollars versus thirty dollars one time. Well, in five I've

1054
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: six times five five years, you'd be paying more than

1055
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: the within the one time, so it's not really the

1056
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: best deal anyway. If you're looking for another app that

1057
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: I really like, if you like, if you like your radar.

1058
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 1: There's an app called Tomorrow Let's see, it's called weather

1059
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:22,479
Speaker 1: by Tomorrow. And the website, I believe is it's really

1060
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: tough to find because if you're searching weather online, it

1061
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 1: never comes up. It's Tomorrow dot io Tomorrow dot io.

1062
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: And if you go to their app. What I love

1063
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: about that is they've got this great storm tracker on

1064
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: there and you can see a map with the storms,

1065
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 1: you know, the whole storm, any storm that's in your area,

1066
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: like a thunder not a thunderstorm per se, but like

1067
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: a tropical storm or a hurricane. It will show you

1068
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: the trajectory of that storm. And it's really really good.

1069
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's at Tomorrow dot Io. I'll link both

1070
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: these apps. Are all three of these apps up to

1071
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: the website. Rich on Tech dot TV. All right, coming up,

1072

00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: AI and services product lead. I talked to him about

1084
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 1: how the company is reimagining smartphone interaction through software and AI.

1085
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 2: First off, how would you describe Nothing as a company?

1086
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 11: It's a company that tries to do something different in

1087
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 11: the consumer electronics space in a way. We want to

1088
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 11: bring fun back to technology and bire creativity.

1089
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,240
Speaker 1: Why have a such a unique design on your phones?

1090
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 11: Because we believe the light needs to come back to

1091
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 11: the tech sector and having a more differentiated design that

1092
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 11: has a certain opinion has true value in the market,

1093
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 11: the value of people feeling more positive emotions towards the

1094
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 11: HeartWare device.

1095
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: Tell me about the phone three specifically, how does it

1096
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: make AI? I know you have a lot of experience

1097
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: in that. How does it make AI more useful for

1098
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: the average person?

1099
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 11: The sping we took with AI on phone three is

1100
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 11: really to create a more calm, reduced experience for people.

1101
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 11: Do not constantly need to check on my phone constantly

1102
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 11: feel like they need to react to notifications. For instance,

1103
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 11: we have Essential Search that just helps you find information

1104
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 11: much quicker by swiping up on the screen and just

1105
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 11: asking something a question. Then we have Essential Space that

1106
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 11: truly helps you remember what matters to you at the

1107
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 11: right time, right moment.

1108
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 2: You talked about that Essential search.

1109
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: Search is one of the biggest things we do on

1110
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: our phone that's rapidly evolving because of AI. Can you

1111
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: explain a little bit more about how that works on

1112
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: this phone and is it your first stop to do anything,

1113
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: whether it's looking for contact or looking up information.

1114
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a good observation. So first search truly is

1115
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 11: a strong entry point into trying to understand you as

1116
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 11: a user and trying to help you get stuff done

1117
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 11: on the phone quicker. And so it works that way.

1118
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 11: So you swipe up, you ask a question, and in

1119
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 11: the first instance, we look for the answer on the phone,

1120
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 11: perhaps it's a contact that you're looking for or an

1121
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 11: app on your phone, and if we don't find it

1122
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 11: on the phone, it gets sent to an LLLM that

1123
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 11: then gives you the answer immediately on the phone.

1124
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 2: Do you are you saying which one that is? Is

1125
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: it your own proprietary or it's.

1126
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,240
Speaker 11: One of the lllms out there, and I'm not naming

1127
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 11: any names that just because we're trying to use the

1128
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 11: LM that will give the best experience for the user,

1129
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 11: and so it could be any of the ones out there.

1130
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: The presentation specifically mentioned doom scrolling, like our phones have

1131
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: just become a venue for doom scrolling? So how does

1132
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: nothing combat that? And they put a big emphasis on

1133
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: sort of being present with the glyph interface.

1134
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 2: Explain how you guys are tackling that problem.

1135
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 12: Yeah, totally.

1136
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,879
Speaker 11: So we truly believe that today's devices are not here

1137
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 11: to sort of empower creativity anymore, and so we try

1138
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 11: to reduce the noise. When you look at the design

1139
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 11: philosophy and the AI software philosophy, it's truly trying to

1140
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 11: understand what features can we or what experiences can we

1141
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 11: implement that will give power back to the humans. So

1142
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 11: we want to put the user back into the center

1143
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 11: of the experience. And I'd say the glyph matrix, for instance,

1144
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 11: is a strong expression of that philosophy because you need

1145
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 11: to take the phone and put it face down onto

1146
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 11: the table, literally hiding the screen, and so this brings

1147
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 11: more into the experience and and sort of it feels

1148
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 11: like it's more care when you when you're then in

1149
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 11: track with your phone. I mean you specifically said you've

1150
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 11: got the feature of the flip to record, So if

1151
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 11: you're in a meeting, you flip your phone face down.

1152
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 11: What was the idea behind that, Yeah, it was for that.

1153
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 11: It's if you're in a meeting or in a conversation

1154
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 11: as we are right now. I think there's a big

1155
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 11: difference in trying to record the conversation in your brain

1156
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 11: or taking notes and truly being present us looking into

1157
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 11: the eyes and trying to understand what the conversation is about.

1158
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 11: And so for for us, the flip to record act

1159
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 11: as almost your second brain, or act as a companion,

1160
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 11: a helper for you to then be more present in

1161
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 11: the moment with the person you're talking to.

1162
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: The gliph in our face. We've talked about it a lot,

1163
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: but it's sort of evolved. It was used to be

1164
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: lights on the back of the phone. Now it's a

1165
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: digital display. Do you think that will bring added functionality

1166
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: to it?

1167
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, truly, it's not just style, even though style is

1168
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 11: a big factor at nothing right but it's also functionality

1169
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 11: and functionality towards again helping someone be more present, more

1170
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 11: calm in an experience with a smartphone, your.

1171
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: Vision for the smartphone of the future. You've talked a

1172
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: lot about devices anticipating our needs. Does that happen with

1173
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: this device and will happen more in the future.

1174
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 2: Definitely.

1175
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 11: I think a good angle to look at what we

1176
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 11: do in the Air and Services function at Nothing is

1177
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 11: that we want to help humans tap into their innate

1178
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 11: creativity more by being more present, by being more calm,

1179
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 11: by having experiences that help them sort of understand their

1180
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 11: own potential. And so definitely that's something we actively work up.

1181
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: So it's telling about being based in London. Smartphone companies,

1182
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, you've got a lot of them in the US,

1183
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: a lot of them in China. You're in London. What

1184
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: do you think that means for Nothing as a company?

1185
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's.

1186
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 11: On the one side, obviously, London is a tremendous place

1187
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 11: for talent, young talent. We have Imperial that just really

1188
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 11: helps me build the AI function because we want to

1189
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 11: double the head counting the AI function, And so obviously

1190
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 11: London is a global melting pot. High diversity meaning high

1191
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 11: diversity or thought meaning better product outcomes.

1192
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 2: At the end.

1193
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 11: And then I think also it helps us to remember

1194
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 11: that we are still an underdog and that we still

1195
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 11: need to fight to truly make that impact that we

1196
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 11: want to do.

1197
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I got a lot of that sense

1198
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: on stage today that you're not trying to be every

1199
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: other phone company.

1200
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 2: Do you think that can help you win? Totally?

1201
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 11: I think if you ask us said nothing, and if

1202
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 11: you listen to our community, people crave a new, differentiated,

1203
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 11: opinionated experience and a product. And so we believe, you know,

1204
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 11: being away from sort of the brain trust that you

1205
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 11: have in SF or a Silicon Valley, or that you

1206
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 11: have maybe in other areas, that helps us have differentiated

1207
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 11: opinions and thoughts.

1208
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: For sure, it is so hard to get people, especially

1209
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: in the US, to think about different smartphones. Yes, we

1210
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: are dominated by a couple of big brands, Apple, Google, Samsung.

1211
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: How do you get someone to try the nothing phone? Yeah?

1212
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 11: I mean if you look at our customers, especially net

1213
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 11: new customers, the majority from then come from, for instance,

1214
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 11: an Apple background, and I think a lot has to

1215
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 11: do with the customer agreeing with the design and software

1216
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 11: opinion that we have and nothing, And so I think

1217
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 11: that trajectory will just continue, right, we will have an

1218
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 11: opinion about a specific experience, which is a calm experience,

1219
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 11: a reduced experience, and experience has put you more in control,

1220
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 11: and we believe more and more people will start to

1221
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 11: agree with that.

1222
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: You've delivered a flagship level phone at an eight hundred

1223
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: dollars price point.

1224
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 2: Do you think you've done pretty well with that? I

1225
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: would say so.

1226
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1227
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 11: I think we're happy with the outcome because the flagship

1228
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 11: the phone free re represents everything that we've learned, everything

1229
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 11: that we believe in and made real, made to be

1230
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 11: holding your hand.

1231
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're pretty happy with it. Are you excited

1232
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 2: to get this thing into the hands of people? One

1233
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 2: hundred percent?

1234
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 11: I mean, trust me, when I saw the phones coming

1235
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 11: down from the ceiling and people literally jumping and running

1236
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 11: towards it to play with it, that was an awesome feeling.

1237
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 2: Yes, it's rewarding.

1238
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: It is rewarding, and it's a cool phone.

1239
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 2: Again.

1240
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: It comes out on July fifteenth here in the United States.

1241
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: The website Nothing dot tech. If you want a link

1242
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: to it, you can go to my website rich on

1243
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: tech dot TV. All right, coming up, we'll take some

1244
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 1: more calls to triple eight rich one oh one eighty

1245
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. I

1246
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: see you waiting on hold. We'll get back to you

1247
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: right after this. Welcome back to rich On Tech. So

1248
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: the stuff you don't see that happens during the breaks.

1249
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Kim and I are sitting here figuring out RCS because

1250
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: we had that email about you know, the RCS not

1251
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: going through, and Kim says, no, there's definitely issues with it.

1252
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: I said, no, there should not be, and so I

1253
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: got the Nothing phone and I've been texting Kim our

1254
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: call screener with you know, the messages app, and it's

1255
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: really funny because some of the messages are going through

1256
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: as RCS and some are going through as SMS. And

1257
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: so I said, all right, let me try to send

1258
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: you a big file, like a video file and see

1259
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: if that comes through. And she said, yes, it came

1260
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: out good. Not the size of a pinhead and fuzzy.

1261
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: It's a huge improvement over what I used to get

1262
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: from Android.

1263
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 2: So I don't know why.

1264
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: It's like I think it maybe RCS depends on the

1265
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: speed of your of your signal, but it's just it's

1266
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: like we're in a studio here, and things are there's

1267
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: not a very good signal with anything.

1268
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 2: But anyway, so we did.

1269
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: We're able to send between iPhone and Android a full video,

1270
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: full resolution, so it is. It does work. I knew

1271
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: it worked. I just you know, I need to like

1272
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: sometimes verify these things. Verra in Hopland, California.

1273
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: What's up? What can we help you with?

1274
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: Hi?

1275
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 14: Thank you taking my call. Yeah, I have a printer.

1276
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 14: I'm looking for a recommendation on a direct USB printer

1277
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 14: where I can print directly from my USB drive. I

1278
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 14: have three printers that always don't work most of times

1279
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:15,479
Speaker 14: don't work with my computer, and I'm looking for something

1280
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 14: under three hundred dollars a direct USB printer.

1281
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: So you want to print from a USB flash drive, right,

1282
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: and not go.

1283
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 14: Through my computer because something's wrong with my program.

1284
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 2: Okay, what about your phone? Do you need to print

1285
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 2: from that? No?

1286
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: No, so just you just want to plug in the

1287
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: little drive and print correct. Okay, Well, I would recommend

1288
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: a printer that has Obviously you need one with USB

1289
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: and then you need one that has I would probably

1290
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: want something that has a screen because you know, that

1291
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: makes it easier to see what's on that little drive

1292
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: to print it and select it, right, Do you have

1293
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: a preference for laser color anything like that?

1294
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 14: Just cheaper, the cheapest possible, because I've seen him for

1295
01:03:58,560 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 14: like five hundred dollars.

1296
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1297
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, I mean do you well, do

1298
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: you want laser or inkjet? That's the big question. I guess, okay, inkjet? Okay,

1299
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: So I think the the ink jets.

1300
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's.

1301
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: You know, the Brother printers fare really well, and I

1302
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: think that that's you know, that's what I've had for

1303
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: a long time. Right now, I have an HP, which

1304
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: I think is fine, and it does have the USB

1305
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: direct like you're talking about, but I don't think it's

1306
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm it's tough for me to recommend an HP

1307
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: because it's just like it's there. It does the job,

1308
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: but it's not very exciting, you know what I mean.

1309
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like I'm always buying something for it.

1310
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: So the Brother I was just looking. I just literally

1311
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: booked marks some of these. They just come out some

1312
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: new ratings of the printers on in consumer reports and

1313
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this, let's see all in one cartridge.

1314
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: So you don't want the ink tank, the EPs and

1315
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: Eco tanks rate really well as well, so I would

1316
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: I would look into those, that's the EPs and Eco

1317
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: tank and they've got you know, different model numbers depending

1318
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: on how much you want to spend. You said under

1319
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: five hundred. Five hundred is a pretty big budget, I'd.

1320
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 2: Say, but nearly ended the front of the three hundred.

1321
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, I mean look if you okay, So

1322
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: if I were you, I would just go to the

1323
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: Brother website and I would just pick one of the

1324
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: multifunctions that are under the inkjet multifunctions that are under

1325
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: three hundred, and they all rate really high. I had

1326
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: a Brother for about ten years and it worked great.

1327
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: It was a laser printer. But I would look for

1328
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: one of those that does that. I have to do

1329
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: a little more research to see if it has the

1330
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: USB plug in, just to make sure I've been doing.

1331
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 14: I can't seem to sign yeah, I can't seem to

1332
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 14: fine when they say, oh, USB connectivity, but.

1333
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't want that.

1334
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 14: I want to do but the print that's the problem

1335
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 14: I'm having.

1336
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: Oh well, if it says USB connectivity, that typically means

1337
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: it'll take a flash drive. If it has a USB

1338
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: port on it, it will take that flash drive. I mean,

1339
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: I know mine does, and I've done that before. In

1340
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: a pinch, I usually print off my phone and you know,

1341
01:05:58,200 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: just when I need to do that kind of stuff.

1342
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 14: What model do you have?

1343
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: Then, Oh my gosh, I've I'm not at my house,

1344
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: so I don't know. It's a brother. I don't know,

1345
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: it's just a I just got it at Costco when

1346
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: I was there. It was like an impulse purchase. But

1347
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: it works fine. I mean, it's you know, I think printers,

1348
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: as long as they have the feature you want, that

1349
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: little flash drive, you're going to be fine. The main

1350
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: thing that I think you got to look out for

1351
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: is really the price of the ink. So my advice

1352
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: when you're buying a printer is, don't just look at

1353
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: the price of the printer that three hundred dollars because

1354
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: printers are cheap. It's where they get you is the ink.

1355
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: And so online, I just spent one hundred and fifty

1356
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: bucks on ink, which I'm pretty sure the printer itself

1357
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: was like one fifty.

1358
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 2: So that's what i'd recommend.

1359
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: So without because we're on the air live and I

1360
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, I need to actually look at this and

1361
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: research what I'm gonna recommend for you. I've got to

1362
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: do that in you know, off the air, but I

1363
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: can email you what I think would be best for

1364
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 1: this out of these brothers. But I would say the

1365
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Brother Printer's rate very highly. As long as they have

1366
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: that USB, I think that's going to be a solid choice.

1367
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: If you want the Epsen Eco Tank, that's also going

1368
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: to be a solid choice. Those are like the top

1369
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: two right now. I'd say, hps, you know they're they're there,

1370
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: and they're everywhere, right like, everywhere you go. You've got

1371
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: HP printers stacked up everywhere. Are they the best? I'm

1372
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: not sure. I don't really Personally. I think I'm just

1373
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: fine with the one I have, and I'm not sure

1374
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: if i'd recommend the one I have right but I'm

1375
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: looking at these ratings and the the Epsen's are sweeping

1376
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: the top, and so are the Brother printers, So those

1377
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: are the probably the ones that I go with. The

1378
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,439
Speaker 1: Canons are also pretty decent, but they don't they don't

1379
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: rank as high. But if you're let me do this,

1380
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: let me send me an email hello at rich on

1381
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: tech dot TV, and I will come up with the

1382
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: printer that I think is the best, or I'll try

1383
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: it in the break see if I have some time

1384
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: to research and find an actual model number that I

1385
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: think will be the best for you for what you're

1386
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: looking for. Uh, do we have time? Let's go to

1387
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: Kevin in Colorado. Kevin, you're on with Rich?

1388
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 13: Yes, Rich, I'm looking for a GPS tracker to put

1389
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 13: in a like an enclosed trailer, a car trailer, and

1390
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 13: I have from some pretty expensive equipment in that trailer.

1391
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 13: And I keep hearing that some of these GPS trackers

1392
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 13: are pretty easy to defeat by seeds, And I just

1393
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 13: was looking for your opinion on which one, maybe, or

1394
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 13: which way to go on that.

1395
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: So you don't want to do something like an air

1396
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: tag like that seems too simple, right for this? You

1397
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: want something that actually connects.

1398
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, a lot of the new GPS equipment will actually

1399
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 13: call you over the phone or give you an alert

1400
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,839
Speaker 13: over the phone to tell you if if your trailer

1401
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 13: is moved or moving then where it's at.

1402
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 2: Yes, you want you want?

1403
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 1: You want like a heavy duty solution that's actually connected

1404
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: via cellular twenty four to seven and has the movement

1405
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: sensors and all that good stuff on it.

1406
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 2: Correct, Okay, right, so an air tag's.

1407
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: Not I mean for most people, you know, most people

1408
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: are just looking for a very simple solution, air tag tile,

1409
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: those kind of things are going to be just fine.

1410
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: But for you, I think you're going to want to

1411
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: look at something a little bit are powered. There's two

1412
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: companies to look at, and the first is called landairse

1413
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: dot Com and these are typically you know, the both

1414
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: of these companies do stuff for both businesses like corporate solutions,

1415
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: but also they make a consumer product. And the way

1416
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 1: that these things work is it's a small GPS tracker.

1417
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,520
Speaker 1: It's got a battery, and it's got a cellular antenna.

1418
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: And so this is not gonna be free. You're gonna

1419
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: have to pay for both the tracker and also the

1420
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: cellular connection each month. And that's anywhere from you know,

1421
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,759
Speaker 1: it could be ten dollars or more depending on the device.

1422
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,719
Speaker 1: So and then the devices themselves, they're not that expensive.

1423
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like you've got thirty dollars all

1424
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: the way up to one hundred and sixty nine dollars.

1425
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 4: Now.

1426
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: The difference and the thing you probably want to look

1427
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 1: out for is the power on this tracker. Is this

1428
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: tracker plugged in all the time so that you can

1429
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: get twenty four to seven, you know, anytime, or is

1430
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: this battery off braided and the battery on these things

1431
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 1: because they're running twenty four to seven, the battery use

1432
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: could be substantial. And then there's a third way to

1433
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: track which is a tracker that actually plugs in to

1434
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: what's called the OBD port on your car. Like it's

1435
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: that it's a little port like on the left hand side,

1436
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: kind of below the steering wheel to the left. It's

1437
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: like for diagnostics and things. So some of these trackers

1438
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: will actually plug into there. Since you said you have

1439
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: a trailer, I don't think that's the case here. And

1440
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: as for thieves, uh yeah, thieves are probably hipped to

1441
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff there in many ways, is not

1442
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: really a there's not really a way to keep them

1443
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: from getting access to this thing unless you hide it

1444
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 1: on there or you have it in some sort of

1445
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: lock box that's you know, bolted to the device or

1446
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: to the trailer.

1447
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 2: So that's another option if you're worried about that.

1448
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: But land airc dot com is one and then the

1449
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: other one is tracky t r a c KI dot com.

1450
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: I've not tested the Trackie but from everything I'm looking at,

1451
01:10:58,520 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: it looks like you want to go with the track

1452
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: Pro because it's gonna cost you.

1453
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 2: A little bit more.

1454
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: It looks like it's forty bucks, but the battery life

1455
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: is going to be substantially better than the other, like

1456
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 1: the main model. So it says it's got worldwide coverage,

1457
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,879
Speaker 1: advanced tracking, speed monitoring, geo fencing, it's got a strong magnet.

1458
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: So those are probably the two that I'd start looking at.

1459
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Track you dot Com and landairseed dot com. Again, look

1460
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: at the battery life, look at the cost of both

1461
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: the device and more importantly, the long term cellular that

1462
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay for for these tracking devices,

1463
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: because this is a bit of a bigger job than

1464
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: something you would use an air tag for. You know,

1465
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 1: if you got luggage thrown air tag in there, you know,

1466
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: anything you want to track thrown air tag or a

1467
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 1: tile in But these are much more going to ping

1468
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: the cellular connection when something happens here. Good question eighty

1476
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: we've got the feedback, and we've got a guest, Trey

1477
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: Boje uh smart shopping expert at truetray dot com. She's

1478
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna share some tips to help you get the best

1479
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: deals for Prime Day. I don't know if you notice this,

1480
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure this is on your Amazon app,

1481
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 1: but it's certainly on mine. Maybe I'm in some sort

1482
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: of test group. But if you go to your Amazon app,

1483
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: they added a new price history feature. So if you

1484
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 1: go to any product on there, right by the price,

1485
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: at least on my app, it says, and I'm trying

1486
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 1: to load something up as we speak here, it says

1487
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: price history, and you can tap it and get a

1488
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: thirty day or ninety day price history, which is really

1489
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,679
Speaker 1: handy for Prime Day. So right on to the price

1490
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 1: mindsets price history, I tap that and for this, uh,

1491
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 1: this aura frame I'm looking at, they're using their their

1492
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 1: rufus Ai and it says the current price of one

1493
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine is higher than the average featured

1494
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: offer price on Amazon in the past thirty days. Look

1495
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: at that, Amazon saying to itself like here thirty days, okay,

1496
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: it went down to fifty one dollars. Wow, that's really cheap.

1497
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 1: So it looks like this is just from their AI.

1498
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: So I wonder if you can just ask their AI

1499
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: on any page. Let me try that. So I'm gonna

1500
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: go to a different product here. Let's see, let's go

1501
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: to this uh fire HD ten fifty percent off for

1502
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 1: this uh this tablet okay. Now instead of tapping price history,

1503
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go there's a little rufous question thing there.

1504
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: It is show price history. Okay, So I guess you

1505
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: could just ask their A to show price history. That's

1506
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: a really key feature for Prime Day because you can

1507
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 1: get really sucked into Prime Day with like all the

1508
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: pricing and stuff.

1509
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 2: But if it's not a real deal, don't don't buy it. Anyway.

1510
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Trey about that.

1511
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: Uh let's see, let's go to andrew website for the show.

1512
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: By the way, Rich on tech dot TV, I put

1513
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: links everything I mentioned there. Rich on tech dot TV,

1514
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,440
Speaker 1: Andrew in Orange County.

1515
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 2: What's up? Hello, Hello, I'm doing well. What can I

1516
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 2: help you with?

1517
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 13: Well, I've got about one hundred mini dvs that I'd

1518
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 13: like to digitize.

1519
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 6: And maybe eventually put them on YouTube something like that.

1520
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 13: But what is the best hardware and software to accomplish

1521
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,600
Speaker 13: that and to obviously get the best resolution?

1522
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:46,599
Speaker 1: Do you have a do you have a player? You've

1523
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: got a DV player.

1524
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 13: I have the old camera and it does play.

1525
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 2: Okay, Well that all the chords that.

1526
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 13: It works.

1527
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

1528
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Well, I did this project myself, d I Y, and

1529
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 1: so I can tell you what I did. And things

1530
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: have changed a little bit. I think the video editing

1531
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 1: is a lot easier these days because of technology. But

1532
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: I used the el Gato. It depends if you're on

1533
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Windows or Mac, but I'll give you both. But and

1534
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: there's so many there's so many ways to do this,

1535
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: Like just the way I'm telling you is the way

1536
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: that I did it. But if you want to save

1537
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: yourself a headache, just bring it to someone. They could

1538
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 1: do it for you and put on a hard drive.

1539
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: But if you want to do it yourself, which is

1540
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: obviously cheaper and more hands on, and you know, if

1541
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: you have the time, do this yourself. But I use

1542
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: the el Gato Video Capture device and basically it's a

1543
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: little device that just sits between your computer and your

1544
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 1: your player, so it connects. Now, this is old school,

1545
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: so it's going to connect with those three analog cables

1546
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 1: which are let's see red, white, and yellow, got video

1547
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:00,759
Speaker 1: audio those cables and then basically you're just gonna capture

1548
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 1: none of this. All this happens in real time, so

1549
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to capture to your computer in real time.

1550
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: So you play the tape, you press recorder on your computer,

1551
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 1: it records it into like an H two six four file.

1552
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:16,919
Speaker 1: So oh and this says it works with Mac or PC,

1553
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: so that's interesting. El Gato and they're they're a big

1554
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: brand in sort of basically do'll sell that on Amazon,

1555
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: So you can get that at Amazon and also Best Buy.

1556
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: And that's the easy VHS to DVD three and again

1557
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: old technology. It's just you connect your camcorder to the

1558
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 1: little device, you record and.

1559
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 2: You can edit.

1560
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: So those are the two basic devices that I've tested

1561
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,800
Speaker 1: and I can tell you they work. The software is

1562
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: just okay on both of them, but it does the trick.

1563
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: And then once you get that, you want to probably

1564
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: clip your videos and edit them so you can use

1565
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: any software you want for that, you can use you

1566
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: know what's built into Windows, Windows movie Maker kind of thing.

1567
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 1: Let's see, I think they changed the name on that.

1568
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Let's see, did they do that? Windows movie Maker, let's

1569
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: see discontinued. Okay, well then I thought that they had

1570
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: changed the name. But you know, you can download cap

1571
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: cut and just use that.

1572
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 2: That's free. Again.

1573
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: Adobe Rush is also good, and you know you can

1574
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: do that very easily to clip those things. If you're

1575
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: on a Mac, you can obviously use iMovie or Final

1576
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 1: Cut if you happen to have access to that software.

1577
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: But then if you look on Amazon for if you

1578
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: search video capture VHS to digital converter, there's going to

1579
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: be a million of these things on there, and a

1580
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: lot of them are cheap and cheaper than the two

1581
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: that I just mentioned. The thing I will tell you

1582
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: is that you get what you pay for, and what

1583
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:54,560
Speaker 1: you're paying for really with Elgado or Roxio is the software.

1584
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 1: So you get one of these random capture cards. A

1585
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: lot of times they are just not very good software

1586
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: that you need to use this thing, So just be

1587
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 1: careful with some of the random brands. But with that said,

1588
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: they do make these little devices and I have not

1589
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 1: tested them, but like the first one that comes up

1590
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: is called I Record, and it's a little it looks

1591
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: like a little black box with a screen on it,

1592
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: and so you can plug your camcorder into that box

1593
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 1: directly and then just hit record it or record to

1594
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: like a memory card, and then you can plug that

1595
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: into your computer and edit from there. So that's another

1596
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: way of doing it. It's another option. But what I

1597
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: like about getting the convert I mean, either way, if

1598
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: this one works for you. I have not tested this

1599
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: one called clear Click. It's a little bit more expensive. Again,

1600
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: these are different ways of doing the same task. But

1601
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, once you have these

1602
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: things recorded and kind of clipped and edited, you could

1603
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: throw them into Google Photos YouTube whatever you want. What

1604
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: I love about Google Photos when you throw these old

1605
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 1: videos in there, is it actually searches for people in

1606
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the videos and puts them in your people list, so

1607
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: you can you know, like for me, let's say I

1608
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: had like a grandfather or grandmother in these videos, they

1609
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 1: would show up in these old videos when I search,

1610
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:11,639
Speaker 1: which is really cool. So and you can also look

1611
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: for places and things like that, so digitizing your old

1612
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: stuff just truly unlocks it in so many ways that

1613
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 1: just flipping through something that's analog or digital just does

1614
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: not work. So it's it's really really cool, all right.

1615
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: Vera did email me, and I did find I looked

1616
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: at the printer that I thought was pretty good, that

1617
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: is top rated, and it is the Brother MFC Jay.

1618
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:44,839
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, Andrew, thanks for the call. I just went like, directly,

1619
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 1: this is how distract this is. This is I'm gonna

1620
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: call this the TikTok effect. I'm literally sitting here talking

1621
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 1: about Andrew's issue and then I'm just like looking at

1622
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 1: my email and via the caller from earlier about the

1623
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,759
Speaker 1: printer did email me to follow up. But the Brother

1624
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: MFCJ sixty ninety DW wireless color Inkjet all in one

1625
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: three point fifty, I know she said three hundred underd

1626
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 1: well at first set under five hundred, then she said

1627
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: under three hundred. So if you want this one looks

1628
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 1: like it has a dual tray. I don't think you

1629
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: need the dual trays because you're just doing something simple.

1630
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 1: So the one below this I'd probably recommend for you.

1631
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: And if you look at it right on the front,

1632
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 1: there's that USB port. She can plug your flash drive

1633
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: into there. It's got a nice screen. You can print

1634
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: stuff right from there. So that's the one that is

1635
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: top rated. But I think you need the one right

1636
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: underneath this, just because I don't think you need the

1637
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: the both trays there. So I'm looking at this one. Brother, Okay,

1638
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: here we go, brother, MFC J five eight five five.

1639
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: That one has it as well, and it's two hundred

1640
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: and ninety nine dollars. I think that's going to be

1641
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: exactly what you need. Randy writes in I'm looking for

1642
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: a good phone that takes great quality photos. Can you

1643
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: give me three choices at reasonable prices?

1644
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:04,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

1645
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: So you want affordable, I think there's two two to

1646
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,719
Speaker 1: choose from Google. Pixel nine A one of the best

1647
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: cameras for the price, great software, great image quality, seven

1648
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,799
Speaker 1: years of support from Google. Four hundred ninety nine dollars,

1649
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: and it probably goes on sale for cheaper than that,

1650
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: so I would say four fifty you might be able

1651
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: to get this four. Let's see if it's gone on sale.

1652
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: Pixel nine A yeah, right now, it's still hanging at

1653
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 1: about four ninety nine, so you may find it cheaper

1654
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: over Prime Day, who knows. And then the other option

1655
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: is the iPhone sixteen E solid camera. Not as many

1656
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: lenses as I'd like. I think it's only just one

1657
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: lens on there. But it's easy to use. And of

1658
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: course you get Apple, and you get all the things

1659
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: that come with Apple, which is, you know, the Genius bar,

1660
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 1: the stores, the accessories, all that good stuff. That's five

1661
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine dollars. So again, good phone takes

1662
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 1: great quality pictures. Three choices. I gave you two. I

1663
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: think above and beyond those two, I think those are

1664
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: gonna be perfect for you if you want a reasonable price.

1665

1671
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 1: talking technology. Coming up this hour, we're gonna talk Prime Day.

1672
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Checking the emails, Kurt writes in from Utica, New York.

1673
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 1: You talked about the epsom Eco tank printer. I found

1674
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: one on the side of the road, thrown out, but

1675
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: almost a full tank of ink and it works great.

1676
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 2: Now that's a win in my book. I mean, who's.

1677
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 1: Gonna throw out a printer with almost a full tank

1678
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: of ink? That's that's easily worth like fifty bucks that

1679
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: ink right there, Kurt.

1680
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 2: I'm glad it worked out for you.

1681
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,559
Speaker 1: See here, Sherry writes in and oh, I have it,

1682
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: she said, I have the Amazon price history. Yay, much

1683
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 1: easier than Camel Camel Camel. When I'm on my phone.

1684
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,839
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to compare the two. I think Google

1685
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: Amazon was probably noticing that so many people were using

1686
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 1: Camel Camel Camel, and I'll be quite honest, the reason

1687
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:22,799
Speaker 1: why they like you using theirs is because when Camel

1688
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: Camel Camel, when you pop a URL into them, they

1689
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: get a commission when you end up buying that product,

1690
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: and so that's part of their business model. But with Amazon,

1691
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: if you're just looking at their their Amazon price history,

1692
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 1: they don't have to pay that commission because you've stuck

1693
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 1: on the Amazon website. So that may just be one thing.

1694
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they're just maybe helping you out as well.

1695
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: So I wonder if you could do this on the

1696
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: Amazon website. Let's see here, I hate doing things live,

1697
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: like while I'm on the air, because it's like it's

1698
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,759
Speaker 1: a little jarring when you're listening and you're trying to figure.

1699
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 2: Out, like what's he doing? But I know they have

1700
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 2: that rufous thing? Is it? Okay?

1701
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 1: So there's a little section of the Amazon when you're

1702
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 1: on Amazon and the desktop, it says ask rufus and

1703
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: then it says ask something else about a product, and

1704
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say price history, and let's see if it

1705
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:16,799
Speaker 1: works on the website, and sure enough it does. Okay, Wow,

1706
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 1: there you go. So if you want to see the

1707
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: price history on the website, on Amazon itself, just look

1708
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: for that little ask rufous underneath the picture of the

1709
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 1: product and where it says ask something else, Tap that

1710
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: and say price history. Let's see if it can give

1711
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 1: you a longer price history, say price history over one

1712
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty days. Let's see if I can do that. No,

1713
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: it can't. Ninety days is the max. But anyway, that's

1714
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: a really handy thing. Let's see here. Let's go to Lewis. Lewis,

1715
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:52,680
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich. Bye, Rich, how I'm doing fantastic,

1716
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

1717
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 15: Thank you, listen. I'm an old man and I'd like

1718
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 15: to do interviews. And I was wondering if you could

1719
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 15: recommend a tape recorder, even though they don't call them taping.

1720
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 15: I found out they don't call them tape recorders anymore.

1721
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 2: I mean, not since Radio Shock out of business.

1722
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 15: Something that's easy to use.

1723
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 13: I have side issues.

1724
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 15: I'm still on a flip phone, So I was wondering,

1725
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 15: is there a recorder that I can use that is

1726
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 15: easy to use. I bought one and I wound up

1727
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 15: having to throw it away because I couldn't figure it

1728
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,919
Speaker 15: figure it out. I wound up re racing by mistake.

1729
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,680
Speaker 15: I mean, just anyway, I'm calling you to see if

1730
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 15: you had any recommendations for us old guys. We're still

1731
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 15: used to the old cassette recorders.

1732
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look there there are so many of these, now,

1733
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: do you so you want some? How are you going

1734
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 1: to listen to this?

1735
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 13: Well that's another thing.

1736
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 15: I thought I'd just play it.

1737
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 2: Back, Okay, Okay, Well that's fine.

1738
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: So you're gonna play it back off the device that

1739
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: you that you're recording correct? Well, look, I mean the

1740
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: number of the so you mentioned a couple of very

1741
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 1: specific things. I'm gonna start with the thing that I

1742
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:10,719
Speaker 1: think is the best right now for most people, maybe

1743
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: not for your specific situation. But there's a device called

1744
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: PLoud p L A U D and what plod. Yeah, plaud.

1745
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 1: This looks like a credit card and it's super thin,

1746
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: and it's got a ton of storage on it and

1747
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 1: it's one tap and it records digitally. Now, the reason

1748
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't think this one is good for you is

1749
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: because it sinks to your smartphone, and so you would

1750
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 1: need a smartphone for that to work. It also uses

1751
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: AI to slice and dice what you're saying, you know,

1752
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 1: whatever you said. You're doing recordings of interviews, so it

1753
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:45,440
Speaker 1: would give you a summary.

1754
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:45,679
Speaker 2: Of the interview.

1755
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 1: So I think that's best for most people that have

1756
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 1: a smartphone that wants something that does that really well. Now,

1757
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 1: by the way, all the smartphones have this functionality built

1758
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 1: into them. Whether it's the iPhone, whether it is the

1759
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 1: Pixel or the Samson, they all have a voice recorder

1760
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 1: that not only records, but also plays back and transcribes

1761
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 1: what is recorded. So that's that's you know, I'm just

1762
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 1: giving kind of big picture for a lot of people.

1763
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 1: Now for your specific situation, I think all you need

1764
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 1: is a digital voice recorder that sounds like what you

1765
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: need to me. And if you go on Amazon, you've

1766
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: got a couple to choose from. The brand that a

1767
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: lot of the journalists use is called Zoom Zom and

1768
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 1: so I would look at the Zoom. They've got one

1769
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: that is let's see here, one hundred and nine dollars.

1770
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:40,280
Speaker 1: How much do you want to spend on this thing?

1771
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 15: Well, one hundred nine sounds reasonable.

1772
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, this one is one hundred and nine. They

1773
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: make a bunch of different models, but they have one

1774
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: for I'm looking at what their most basic is. It

1775
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 1: looks like the one oh nine is their cheapest model.

1776
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: But Zoom is this is the h one and that

1777
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 1: is probably the simplest, easiest, most widely recognized recorder out there.

1778
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 1: And it has two microphones. It's got great audio quality,

1779
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:12,479
Speaker 1: it's got a little screen that you can see if

1780
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 1: it's recording and things like that. Plus you can play

1781
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 1: it back and listen to it as well, all through

1782
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 1: that device. So I'd probably recommend that one number one correct. Yeah,

1783
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 1: and so oh look at that, and look at this,

1784
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:31,879
Speaker 1: Look at this Lewis. It even has accessibility audio guidance

1785
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 1: function for the visually impaired.

1786
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 15: So that might be oh my gosh, oh right, that's

1787
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 15: why I called you there you go.

1788
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 1: That's a bonus right there, So i'd go with that one.

1789
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,720
Speaker 2: It's called the zoom h one. Check that out.

1790
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: Otherwise, if you don't want that one, you know, they've

1791
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,920
Speaker 1: got like a Sony model. I mean, these are just

1792
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,679
Speaker 1: basically the audio cassette recorders that I had as a

1793
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:54,320
Speaker 1: as a nerdy kid, but now they're just all digital

1794
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 1: and so it's like, you know, instead of a tape,

1795
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 1: they're just recording. But this this Sony one looks really nice.

1796
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: That's one hundred and twenty eight. Then they've got an

1797
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:06,559
Speaker 1: off brand that is thirty dollars, So if you want

1798
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 1: that one, that's a super cheap brand. Rich on Tech

1804
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 1: tell you about this.

1805
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 2: Chuck E.

1806
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 1: Cheese is coming out with something new, Chuck's Arcade. This

1807
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 1: is a modern arcade that blends retro and new games.

1808
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 1: So it's built with people like me and mind people

1809
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,760
Speaker 1: who grew up going to Chuck E Cheese, and it's

1810
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 1: called all about nostalgia, but with a modern twist. You're

1811
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna get the classic games like Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat, Galaga,

1812
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,800
Speaker 1: but also the new stuff that almost made me get

1813
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 1: sick at CS, the VR game, So, oh my gosh.

1814
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 1: Locations are now opening a couple malls, let's see Saint Louis,

1815
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, I'll passo, and some of them have like

1816
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:09,840
Speaker 1: a pizzeria, retro merchandise and if you're wondering, are the

1817
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 1: animatronics there, they are, but they're not performing. They're almost

1818
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:17,639
Speaker 1: like a museum piece. Like I think they just took

1819
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:21,759
Speaker 1: the animatronics from all the decommissioned shows they have around

1820
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,480
Speaker 1: the country and just put them in these new places,

1821
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 1: like just sitting there, like it's like kind of weird,

1822
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 1: like just staring at you. But each location is gonna

1823
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:33,760
Speaker 1: be unique, so maybe there'll be some some folks that

1824
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:36,720
Speaker 1: like want to visit all of them. But let's see,

1825
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 1: there are a list of locations and details that Chucks

1826
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: Arcade dot fun so I'm gonna go do a story

1827
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 1: with them. They're they're building one at the Braham Mall

1828
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,519
Speaker 1: in California, so or in the LA area. So I'm

1829
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna go check it out. You know, I love Chuck

1830
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: E Cheese, you know, well I did. I mean, I

1831
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 1: don't go there anymore, but but I brought my kids

1832
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,680
Speaker 1: there for a long time, you know, and they were

1833
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:01,360
Speaker 1: liking that stuff. And to me, I just a kitty gambling, right,

1834
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 1: It's literally like training your kids for Vegas like that

1835
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 1: and the other one, David Busters. It's like this, It's

1836
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:11,439
Speaker 1: all what's the difference. It's all just like kitty gambling. Like,

1837
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: let's be real here, and like for me as an adult,

1838
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, let's just cut to the chase. Let me

1839
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:16,960
Speaker 1: go to Vegas one. Let me lose my money fast.

1840
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 1: All right, Let's let's get Trey Bosh here. Trey is

1841
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:25,680
Speaker 1: the shopping expert at Truetrey dot com, True t r

1842
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:27,000
Speaker 1: ae dot com.

1843
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 2: Trey, welcome back to the show.

1844
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:30,760
Speaker 12: Thanks for having me back.

1845
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 15: Rich.

1846
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 2: So, did you ever go to Chuck E Cheese?

1847
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 12: I don't think I grew up in Massachusetts.

1848
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:38,840
Speaker 16: I don't remember Chuck E Cheese until I think I

1849
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 16: heard about it when I was in college in New

1850
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 16: York City, so I must have missed it or something.

1851
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 16: But there were similar places like that, and I have

1852
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 16: to say, like the still animatronics in these new locations,

1853
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 16: I'd be curious to see.

1854
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,400
Speaker 12: It's like if it feels like a wax museum or not.

1855
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it reminds me of that movie. I didn't watch it,

1856
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:56,839
Speaker 1: but it's like called Five Nights at Freddy's.

1857
01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:59,200
Speaker 2: Did Bobo do you watch that? Did you see that movie?

1858
01:31:59,360 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 4: No?

1859
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:02,240
Speaker 2: He's he did? I not seen him, but I have to.

1860
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 1: But you know the concept, right, Yeah, animatronics come alive

1861
01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 1: and try to like hurt people.

1862
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.

1863
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 1: But that's the thing is like these animatronics are creepy enough,

1864
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 1: but the fact they're just standing guard there, like what

1865
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:15,719
Speaker 1: the heck?

1866
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 2: Anyway?

1867
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Prime Day twenty twenty five. It starts on July eighth,

1868
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 1: runs through July eleventh, And are we expecting it to

1869
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 1: be a big holiday shopping event this year?

1870
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 16: It is going to be a big holiday shopping event.

1871
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,800
Speaker 16: I mean, it's interesting that for many years retailers were

1872
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:36,759
Speaker 16: trying to make something out of July because it's slow.

1873
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 16: We're all taking vacations, we're traveling. So what Amazon Prime

1874
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,879
Speaker 16: did is kind of solidify July as a shopping holiday,

1875
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:46,959
Speaker 16: and then everyone else piled on top with their own sales.

1876
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 16: So I do think it'll be big, and I'm seeing

1877
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 16: some interesting sales that I'm going to take advantage of.

1878
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 16: But then it's really important for shoppers to look around

1879
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:59,440
Speaker 16: as well, because there will be so many other retailers participating,

1880
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 16: you know, in and around that week.

1881
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 1: So basically Amazon gets us all sort of like jazzed

1882
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 1: up and ready to spend money. But then Walmart comes in,

1883
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: Best Buy, all these other online retailers and say, hey,

1884
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:11,280
Speaker 1: come on over here, we got great deals too.

1885
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, and that makes it kind of confusing for the

1886
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 16: consumer too.

1887
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 12: You wonder where do I shop? Where am I getting

1888
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 12: the best deal.

1889
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 16: That's the thing that troubles me a little bit about it,

1890
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 16: because I get so many questions about this, like where

1891
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 16: should I buy that laptop that I need for my

1892
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 16: kids college or you know, so I think it's hard

1893
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 16: to figure that out.

1894
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, so I guess that's one of the questions

1895
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:33,599
Speaker 1: I have because I just default to Amazon for pretty

1896
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:35,960
Speaker 1: much everything, even though you know there may be better

1897
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:38,559
Speaker 1: prices out there? Is there a one size and there

1898
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 1: may not be a right answer to this? Is there

1899
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:43,639
Speaker 1: like a search engine for prices? Like if I type

1900
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:46,280
Speaker 1: in the model of the laptop, is there one place

1901
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: that's guaranteed to like give me like all the prices

1902
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 1: that different retailers are not?

1903
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 16: Really, I think it's Google shopping. So you go to

1904
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:56,360
Speaker 16: Google Shopping, you enter the name of an item, and

1905
01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 16: it all wherever it's sold, whatever retailer, at what price,

1906
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:02,799
Speaker 16: it all pops up in one place.

1907
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,000
Speaker 12: That's a really good guide in my opinion.

1908
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so Google shopping if you want to look for

1909
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 1: that stuff, And then what can we expect for this year?

1910
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:12,439
Speaker 1: At number one's four days? I mean, this is like

1911
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: our wallets are just gonna be empty by.

1912
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 2: The end of this.

1913
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:20,760
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean I think that four days is potentially

1914
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 16: too long. I'm not quite sure why they're experimenting with

1915
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 16: this longer time, And the discounts that I'm seeing aren't

1916
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 16: as deep as I'm accustomed to around Amazon Prime, so

1917
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:31,120
Speaker 16: it seems.

1918
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 12: A little bit more modest.

1919
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 16: But what Amazon has been sort of accused of or

1920
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 16: made fun of about in the past is that we're

1921
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 16: seeing sales in so many different things, so everything from

1922
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:43,840
Speaker 16: toilet paper to tech.

1923
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:45,200
Speaker 12: You know, it's everywhere.

1924
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:47,599
Speaker 16: And so I do think that if you're an Amazon shopper,

1925
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 16: you're an Amazon Prime member, and you have some things

1926
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 16: on your list that you need to pick up anyway,

1927
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 16: Amazon Prime Day will be a good time to save

1928
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 16: a little bit of money. Just something to remember though

1929
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,960
Speaker 16: we are seeing slightly higher prices right now because of

1930
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 16: the tariffs, and after July ninth, of course some of

1931
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 16: those bigger, scarrier tarffs might come into play, but we

1932
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 16: won't see those higher prices for a couple of months.

1933
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 16: So that's a long windy way to say it's a

1934
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 16: good time to get some shopping done while we have

1935
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:18,599
Speaker 16: these these sales and just only slightly elevated prices.

1936
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,599
Speaker 1: And I like the tip you you have for saving

1937
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 1: for later because I always tell people to do this

1938
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 1: as well, like you know, get the stuff in your

1939
01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:28,479
Speaker 1: cart now. So there's a difference you have your cart

1940
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 1: on Amazon that you've got your saved for later. Both

1941
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: of those places will eventually show you if an item's

1942
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 1: on sale, right they will, And.

1943
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:37,760
Speaker 12: So I think that's a great thing to do.

1944
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 16: Wishless, same kind of thing and what Amazon is also

1945
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 16: really good at is that when you go to your

1946
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 16: cart below, they often say like, hey, do you need this?

1947
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 12: Do you need this?

1948
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:50,000
Speaker 16: This is on sale and that's on sale, And so

1949
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:53,160
Speaker 16: Amazon will tell you what you if what you typically

1950
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 16: buy is on sale. So they're going to hold your

1951
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,160
Speaker 16: hand a little bit and guide you through.

1952
01:35:57,840 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 2: That's smart for them.

1953
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 1: What about this new, this new thing, today's big deals.

1954
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 16: Yeah, so this is brettan new So I've not experienced

1955
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 16: this yet, you know, I think, you know, Amazon is

1956
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 16: playing around a little bit.

1957
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 12: They're trying to figure out what's going to stick.

1958
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 16: It sounds like lightning deals, which they've done for many years,

1959
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:16,800
Speaker 16: are still going to be there, but some of those

1960
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:19,120
Speaker 16: other kind of buzzy terms that they were used, they

1961
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 16: were using in the past couple of years, have kind

1962
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 16: of drifted away. So I think this is the newest one,

1963
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 16: So we'll see how it goes. It looks to me

1964
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,760
Speaker 16: like it's a lightning deal but bigger, you know, like

1965
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 16: lightning deal, but longer. I guess it's like the sale

1966
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 16: doesn't come and go in a couple hours. It lasts

1967
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 16: a little bit longer.

1968
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 1: And I was talking earlier in the show about this

1969
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 1: new feature that they've added to the because we always say, like,

1970
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:45,200
Speaker 1: go to Camel Camel Camel to like price check things, right, Well,

1971
01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:47,400
Speaker 1: now it looks like Amazon is one upping them at

1972
01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: their own game with this price history.

1973
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:50,759
Speaker 2: Have you seen this on the app?

1974
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 1: You can you can ask for the price history from

1975
01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: their AI or there's a link to it on the

1976
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:56,040
Speaker 1: mobile app.

1977
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 12: I have not seen that.

1978
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 16: I mean, I usually use Camel Camel Camel or PayPal

1979
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 16: Honey because they have historical pricing. But that's very interesting

1980
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,559
Speaker 16: that Amazon is doing that, especially because their prices go

1981
01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:11,519
Speaker 16: up and down constantly, So maybe they are kind of

1982
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,439
Speaker 16: taking the bowl by the horns and trying to control

1983
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 16: the conversation.

1984
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,160
Speaker 1: I my theory is that because let's say, when you

1985
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 1: go to Camel Camel Camel or or Honey and you

1986
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: click their link, you're gonna have to pay, like Amazon

1987
01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:25,360
Speaker 1: has to pay them a commission, right bright, Or if

1988
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: you're doing your own price checks on Amazon's website, you've

1989
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 1: stayed there, no commission, So that's just I don't know.

1990
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:32,719
Speaker 1: That's a theory. But maybe they're just trying to be helpful.

1991
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.

1992
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 16: Maybe it's a little bit of both, you know, but

1993
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 16: just remember because there are so many other deals out there,

1994
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 16: don't don't stick just to Amazon. It's a buyer's market.

1995
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,720
Speaker 16: You have opportunities to save everywhere. So what I like

1996
01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 16: to do is to install at least one browser extension

1997
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:50,080
Speaker 16: from a deal site.

1998
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 12: A coupon cabin happens to be my.

1999
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 16: Favorite for this because they'll you'll see pop ups that'll say,

2000
01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 16: you know, you can get two point five percent cash back,

2001
01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 16: or you can get five dollars off of this, and

2002
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:04,639
Speaker 16: that occurs no matter where you're shopping, and then they'll

2003
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,200
Speaker 16: run coupons for you at the end at checkout. So

2004
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,479
Speaker 16: for me, if a tool does a lot of things

2005
01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:11,280
Speaker 16: like that and helps me save money, I'm all in.

2006
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 16: So just make sure you have at least one browser

2007
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,479
Speaker 16: extension installed when you're doing the shopping, and just pay

2008
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:18,640
Speaker 16: attention to those other sales that are coming. You know,

2009
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:21,920
Speaker 16: we've got Walmart's having a big sale, target Best Buy Coals.

2010
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:24,599
Speaker 12: One that I'm kind of excited about is Dollar General.

2011
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 16: They're having seven days of savings and you think, why

2012
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 16: does Dollar General need to have a big sale, But

2013
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,639
Speaker 16: they have seventy plus items for back to school for example,

2014
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 16: that are under a dollar, and then you'll have things

2015
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:37,599
Speaker 16: on sale on top of that, and that's a great

2016
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 16: way to save a lot on those things for your

2017
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 16: kids getting back to school time.

2018
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:43,799
Speaker 1: And I love all the names of these other sales,

2019
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:46,679
Speaker 1: so Dollar General, like you said, seven Days of Savings, Walmart,

2020
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 1: Walmart Deals, Target Circle Week, Best by Black Friday, and

2021
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 1: July Coal's Summer Cyber Deals. And then also, let's not

2022
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 1: forget my lows Rewards. What are they doing?

2023
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:00,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, so my.

2024
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:06,120
Speaker 16: Low's Rewards is a loyalty specific program, and you'll see

2025
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:09,480
Speaker 16: this kind of coming and going within all of these retailers.

2026
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:13,600
Speaker 16: You know, they're coming out against Amazon because Amazon you

2027
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 16: have to be a Prime member and that is a

2028
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 16: fee based feature. And so what some of the other

2029
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 16: retailers will say, well, you know it's for everyone, but

2030
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 16: if you're a Walmart Plus member, if you're a Low's

2031
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 16: Loyalty member, you get advanced notice or special deals. And

2032
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 16: so I think that's what they're trying to do is

2033
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:34,520
Speaker 16: retain that customer but not be as strict as Amazon,

2034
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 16: which I think is a smart play.

2035
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: And then right now I'm putting you on the spot here,

2036
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:41,800
Speaker 1: but right now aren't they doing like a dollar off

2037
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 1: gas or something. Isn't there some sort of gas promotion

2038
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 1: Amazon's doing?

2039
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, And that felt a little bit too much for me.

2040
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 16: I think sometimes what Amazon does is they play around

2041
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,799
Speaker 16: with too many things at once and it becomes confusing.

2042
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:58,680
Speaker 16: So I'm just not sure if that gas discount is

2043
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 16: that production dip or helpful. But what they're doing I

2044
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 16: assume is that they're kind of duking it out with

2045
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 16: Walmart because with Walmart Plus membership, but you also have

2046
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 16: to pay for you get gas discounts, and so Amazon's

2047
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 16: may be like dinging against Walmart a little bit.

2048
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:14,320
Speaker 12: That's that's my guess.

2049
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 1: Anyway, all right, we're going to leave it there, but

2050
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:19,479
Speaker 1: we still think the Amazon Prime membership is worth the

2051
01:40:19,479 --> 01:40:21,599
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars a month or one thirty nine a year.

2052
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 12: For me, it is.

2053
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 16: I shot there frequently, especially, you know, I get pet

2054
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:29,040
Speaker 16: food and just beauty supplies and things like that. I

2055
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,679
Speaker 16: think that for every consumer, you should ask yourself every

2056
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 16: year as you come up for renewal. Am I using

2057
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 16: this as frequently as I need to? You know, remember

2058
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:39,360
Speaker 16: that if you hit the threshold I believe it's twenty

2059
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 16: five or thirty five dollars when you order.

2060
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:42,799
Speaker 12: You'll get free shipping anyway.

2061
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,759
Speaker 16: So are you using those other things like photo storage,

2062
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 16: Amazon Video, Amazon Music? If you're using all those other

2063
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 16: features the free kindle book, then it's worth it. But

2064
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 16: if not, just you know, minimize the number of times

2065
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 16: you're ordering from Amazon. Hit that threshold and get free

2066
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:57,679
Speaker 16: shipping anyway.

2067
01:40:57,960 --> 01:41:02,160
Speaker 1: All right, Trey Bodge being expert at true tray dot

2068
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:04,840

Speaker 12: Today, Thanks for having me.

2071
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 1: All right, Coming up, we're gonna open up the feedbag

2072
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:13,760
Speaker 1: right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich

2073
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:16,400
Speaker 1: on Tech. We're gonna open up the feedbag in just

2074
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 1: a moment. The first couple more things about Amazon. They

2075
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:26,680
Speaker 1: are warning about fake Prime renewal scam emails. Amazon customers

2076
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:29,760
Speaker 1: reporting fake emails claiming that their Prime membership is about

2077
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 1: to renew at a higher price. It may include a

2078
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:35,679
Speaker 1: phony cancel subscription link that actually leads to a fake

2079
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:40,160
Speaker 1: Amazon login page, so be careful. If you're in doubt,

2080
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: go directly to Amazon dot com or use the official

2081
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:46,879
Speaker 1: Amazon app. You can also report fake messages to Amazon

2082
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 1: dot com slash reporter scam and set up two factor authentication.

2083
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 1: Please fore your Amazon account. That's a big one. Amazon

2084
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:58,640
Speaker 1: dot com slash two s v T step to us

2085
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 1: set that up. They call it two step verification. And

2086
01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 1: also I wanted to mention one more way to save

2087
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 1: on Prime Day. There's an extension that's brand new. We

2088
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:07,400
Speaker 1: talked about it in the show a couple of weeks

2089
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:11,639
Speaker 1: ago when it launched, called shopback dot com. I can

2090
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 1: tell you that I have successfully gotten eight dollars back

2091
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:18,759
Speaker 1: for my Amazon orders.

2092
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 2: So every Amazon order, if you remember to do it.

2093
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:24,559
Speaker 1: You activate the shop back and it gives you a

2094
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 1: dollar back on your Amazon order. Takes a little bit

2095
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 1: for it to all work out, but so far I've

2096
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 1: gotten eight successful orders. Half of my orders I forgot

2097
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:35,240
Speaker 1: to activate the or I did it for my phone.

2098
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: But if you do it, you can get it. So

2099
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: I'll put a link on my website. Rich on tech

2100
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,679
Speaker 1: dot tv and they've got all kinds of cash back

2101
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 1: offers on all kinds of websites, but the Amazon one's

2102
01:42:45,080 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 1: kind of cool. And during Prime Day they're giving you

2103
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 1: five dollars back when you spend one hundred dollars at Amazon.

2104
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:52,599
Speaker 2: All right. Time for the feedback.

2105
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: These are the emails, the comments, and the questions I

2106
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:57,120
Speaker 1: get from you. Go to rich on tech dot tv

Speaker 1: to Mexico City.

2109
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:02,639
Speaker 2: How exciting.

2110
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:05,719
Speaker 1: I've been teaching myself Spanish for two years, thinking about

2111
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:08,799
Speaker 1: running away to Central or South America. Didn't realize Mexico

2112
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 1: City was on a mountain. And you ate a grasshopper. Gross.

2113
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 1: I heard Bobo says he doesn't want to eat bugs.

2114
01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Bobo. But I hate to break it to him.

2115
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:20,360
Speaker 1: We already do more than you'd think. I'm vegan and

2116
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 1: I read a lot of ingredient lists. Let's just say

2117
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: I've learned some things, so have I What does it

2118
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 1: does it say grasshoper on ingredient list?

2119
01:43:28,240 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 2: Does it?

2120
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:28,840
Speaker 10: No?

2121
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,640
Speaker 2: They hide it. They put another name to it, like

2122
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:34,560
Speaker 2: a food coloring. Oh, like a grand food coloring. Is

2123
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 2: a bug shell has like a beatle name of it.

2124
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 14: Well.

2125
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 1: Also, there's a sometimes at the airport they have like

2126
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,920
Speaker 1: cricket protein bars. Yeah, and you wouldn't know it unless

2127
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 1: you read it and you're like, oh wait, I'm just

2128
01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 1: about to eat cricket.

2129
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good. No, we'll stand firm on that one. Bobo.

2130
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:53,400
Speaker 1: Ronald writes in, I've had simply codes on my computer

2131
01:43:53,479 --> 01:43:55,720
Speaker 1: for months. You mentioned using it, but not once has

2132
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:57,880
Speaker 1: a code worked for me. Some websites don't even have

2133
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 1: a promo box. Just today I tried ordering glasses from

2134
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,599
Speaker 1: Glasses USA. There wasn't even a spot to enter one.

2135
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 1: But thanks for all your other great info. I'm really

2136
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:08,080
Speaker 1: enjoying the free Perplexity upgrade you shared.

2137
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:09,559
Speaker 2: Ronald.

2138
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 1: I love you, but I don't know what you're talking about.

2139
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:15,519
Speaker 1: I went to the Glasses USA website. I tried it

2140
01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:17,679
