Lots of little announcements with them, and 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.440 then later on in the show, if Akundo holdsmeister from 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.839 how two Men, we'll talk about some of the coolest 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:44.520 hidden Android apps. Get ready to download some great new apps. 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.320 He does a great job on YouTube with those well. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.640 Apple has launched the successor to the iPhone SE. It 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.400 is called the iPhone sixteen E. Now the E doesn't 0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:01.160 officially stand for anything, of course, there's many speculations going 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:06.480 around online about what it might stand for, economical, essential, everything, 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:07.960 whatever else. 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:08.920 You can think of. This starts with E. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.000 But this is the phone that is replacing the iPhone SE. 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.200 It's been over a thousand days since they came out 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.440 with that phone, so it was time for an update. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.960 And this is a modern smartphone with pretty much everything 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.919 you need at a price that is not so bad 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.000 so basic specs. Yes, it has a bigger screen six 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.880 point one inches. It's got the A eighteen chip, which 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.480 is Apple's latest processor. On the iPhone sixteen, not the Pro. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.400 The Pro has a slightly more elevated chip, but this 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.880 is like their latest modern chip. It's got a one 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.560 forty eight megapixel camera, so just one camera lens on 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.000 this but I'll talk about that in a bit. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.960 It also has face ID instead of a home button. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.040 I know a lot of people like the se because 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.400 they're holding on to that home button. But with this phone, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.160 Apple has officially retired that old technology. Now all of 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.240 their phones in the line up to have face ID. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.880 And it's also got USBC instead of lightning, so again 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.799 another modern upgrade. Now because it has that latest processor, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.360 there is support for Apple Intelligence. This is their suite 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.000 of all of the different you know, writing tools and 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.360 the image playground and all that fun stuff that you 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.239 can do that I'll be quite honest, I don't use 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.040 a ton of it on the iPhone. I have it 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.840 on my model, but I don't find myself using it. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.600 I still am pretty much turning to chat GBT when 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.040 I need to do things. Now, when it comes to 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.920 buttons on this phone, I mentioned there's no home button, 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.720 but there isn't action button on the side. So remember 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.480 that little slider they used to have the little toggle 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.760 switch for ringer and silent. Well that's been replaced on 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.160 the later iPhones with what's called an action button. And 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:48.880 the neat thing about this action button is if you 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.120 want it to, you know, still function in the same 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.760 way as your ring silent switch, you can still do that. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.520 You just press it and hold it and it will 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.440 toggle between those two functionalities. But the neat thing is 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.360 you can assign it to do a whole bunch of 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.080 other things. So you can make it launch the camera, 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.320 it can launch the flashlight, it can activate a voice memo. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.640 You can also use it for visual intelligence, so there 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.720 is no camera control. The second button that they added 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.599 to the new latest iPhones, the iPhone sixteen models, that 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.760 is not on this device. But you can still assign 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.080 this action button to let you do pretty much whatever 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.719 you want. You can make it open up an app. 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.360 And this intelligence feature is kind of interesting because this 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.760 is kind of Apple's version of Google lens. So if 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.200 you activate this visual intelligence, you can aim it at 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.600 a bird, it can identify the bird. If you aim 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.000 it at a business card, it can add that information 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.839 to your contacts. It can identify plants, animals, and much more. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:44.920 You can also use it to search items. So if 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.279 you're looking at something like a address or a couch 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.120 you want to buy, someone has something in their house 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.599 that you want, you can just search Google for that 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.360 product for where to buy it, and of course it 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.240 links up with chat GBT if it can't get the 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.800 answer through Apple or through Google. This is the first 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.360 iPhone to have a modem designed by Apple. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:04.360 And this is pretty wild. 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.760 I know, it seems like a small thing because who 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.760 cares about the motem inside of a phone? But Qualcomm 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.599 typically makes those modems, and so the fact that Apple's 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.640 making their own, that's, you know, kind of a big 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.320 shift for this because they do sell hundreds of millions 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.159 of iPhones every year, and so the fact that that 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.359 is moving away from Qualcom not a good thing for 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.680 their business, but of course a good thing for Apple 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.080 because they can now optimize that modem to do exactly 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.520 what they want on these phones. This is called the 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.320 C one, and Apple says already they're getting fast and 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.440 reliable five G coverage, but also it's making the phone 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.800 have better battery life, because if you think about it, 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.320 most of these phone makers have to kind of shimmy 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.960 into what these chips do. So they get the chip, 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.080 and they get the camera lens, and they get all 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.320 this stuff from different manufacturers and then they build the 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.880 phone around it. With Apple, when it comes to the 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:59.479 processor and also this now modem, they are designing that 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.960 from the ground to work with the phone, so they 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.440 can make their software very very specific in how it 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.599 does everything, and you get a lot of efficiency and 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:12.279 power and computing efficiency through that. So now when it 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.800 comes to the camera, this is a two to one 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.360 camera system. So yes, I said, it's just one lens 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.039 forty eight megapixels, but because it's so high megapixels, you 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.400 can crop into the picture, which means effectively you have 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.640 a two x telephoto zoom without any loss of quality. 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.160 So we're gonna have to test that out see how 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.640 that works in real life. But yes, one lens on 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.120 the back, very simple setup, No dedicated zoom lens, no 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.640 ultra wide lens, no macro photography, no spatial photography, so 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.560 no three D pictures or videos off of this. 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.800 But again, this is a basic phone. You don't need 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:45.480 all that stuff. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.360 Now, when it comes to emergency services, Apple has really 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.599 been good in this aspect. Satellite is supported, so you 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.760 can do messages over satellite, you can send emergency SOS, 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.560 roadside assistance via satellite. You can also update your location 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.839 and find my via satellite. Plus it's got crash detection. 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.520 So Apple has really led the charge in sort of 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.120 these emergency services. Your phone is your lifeline. So if 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.080 you get into an accident, something happens, you're in the 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.000 middle of nowhere, your phone is basically gonna call emergency 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.080 services for you. So that's pretty amazing. Now, if you 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.680 have the iPhone se, I think that this is gonna 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.080 be a really nice upgrade. I know you're gonna lose 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.880 that home button, but I think overall, this is a 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.360 really nice phone for the price. But there are some 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.239 things you don't get, and I haven't mentioned the price 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.720 just yet, have I I'll tell you that in a moment. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.320 You do get an OLED screen, but it's not gonna 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.080 be as bright as the iPhone sixteen. So in almost 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.840 every aspect you're getting what you need, but you're getting 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.800 kind of a little bit of a lesser version of it. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.320 And I think for most people that's not going to 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:46.360 be that big of a problem. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.440 There's no dynamic island that's that little area near the 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.040 selfie camera that displays information. It's the kind of traditional 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.040 notch they had on older models of the iPhone. Also, 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.520 there's no always on display. So if you like to 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.800 look at your phone, glance at the screen, be able 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.000 to see the time and notifications without touching it, that's 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.680 not happening on this device. There's also now this gets 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.640 into a little bit of a nuanced area. But this phone, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.440 and I think a lot of people, of course give 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:17.120 Apple some issue with this. It's got a slow refresh rate, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.560 so slower than Android phones of this quality. 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:22.360 And what does that mean. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.040 It means that when you're moving around on the screen, 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.880 things may not refresh as quickly. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.280 They may be a little bit slower to the eye. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.520 But I don't think people that are buying this phone 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.280 are going to care about that, and that's never been 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.280 a big issue with Apple because it's still a very 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.440 good device. Now there is wireless charging. There's no support 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.360 for mag Safe, so that means you can't magnetically attach 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.439 accessories to the back. But you can add this functionality 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.679 through a case. It has to be a third party case. 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.319 Apple came out with some of their own cases. They 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.240 do not have mag Safe that they add. Also, the 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.280 sixteen E supports slower wireless charging, so it's only seven 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.560 and a half watch versus fifteen, which is the full 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.560 speed charging on the iPhone sixteen models. Now there's no 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.800 ultra wide bandship, which means, yes, you can still find 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.200 your air tags and other items, it's just not going 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.600 to lead you to them precisely. So yes, you can 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.880 still locate stuff, but the ultra widebandship allows you to 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.079 kind of your phone will tell you, hey, move over 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.520 to the left, and it's two hundred feet away there. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:16.840 It is. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.200 Also there's Wi Fi six versus the latest Wi Fi 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.800 seven on the other iPhone sixteen models. But still this 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.600 is a great value for an iPhone. Now the price 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.040 is higher than before. The SEU was four hundred and 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.840 twenty nine dollars. This is five hundred ninety nine dollars. 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.320 But I'm already seeing tons of deals. Verizons got this 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.640 thing for like five bucks a month at and T 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.360 and T MO will have it if you trade in 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.760 a line completely free. But check the latest deals, because 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.079 that's what this phone is all about. It's about value 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.480 and getting you into the Apple ecosystem. It's for people 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.600 that walk into an Apple store and say I don't 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.839 care about the features. I just want a new phone. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.840 That's all I care about, and I want a good price. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:57.920 That's who they're going to sell this phone to. And 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.280 I'm telling you they're going to sell a lot of 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.719 these things because by the time you get through all 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.280 the features on it, you're saying, well, I've got the 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.880 basics covered, what more do I need? And the person 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.880 that's selling to you is gonna say, yeah, it's fine. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.080 I mean, do you need the three lenses, do you 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.880 need the ultra wideband? Do you need the fastest WiFi? 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.120 People are gonna say no, it's all fine. So this 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.960 is a direct response to all of those inexpensive Android 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.480 phones out there. And I think what Apple has done 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.560 is they've reached such a scale with their business they're 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.800 getting tough to beat. They make their own processors, everything 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.600 performs really well. Now, they make their own modems, so 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.960 every little breakthrough they have pays off for years to come. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.000 Not to mention, they also have stores in every major 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.080 city around the world that you can walk into and 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.840 get help with your phone, plus repair shops that fix 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.800 your phone, plus successories. The iPhone sixteen E is five 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.719 hundred and ninety nine dollars for a one hundred and 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.720 twenty eight gigabyte model. It's available Friday, February twenty eighth. 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.760 Of course, when I get my hands on this thing, 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.880 I will test it. I will give you my thoughts, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.200 but I think generally Apple is going to sell a 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.360 lot of these phones. All right, coming up on the show, 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.600 we are going to talk to you eight eight eight 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.599 rich one O one eight eight eight seven four to 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.120 two four one zero one. If you want to read 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.640 some more of my thoughts on the iPhone sixteen e 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.720 go to my website rich on Tech dot TV. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:19.960 We'll be right back. 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.480 Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:30.520 out with you, talking technology at Triple A rich one 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.480 oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:38.360 four one zero one. Just talking to Adam who's in 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.240 for Bobo today. He was like, what's the deal with 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.840 the always on display? So, just so you know, the 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.760 always on display pretty much keeps your iPhone screen on 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:51.320 at all times, like it's showing information like your latest notifications, 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.200 the time, your widgets, and he's saying, does not use 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.040 a lot of battery, and it's because these displays can 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.120 be brought down to a very low refresh rate, like 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.839 they're adjustable that it doesn't use much battery at all. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.520 Like I remember when they finally introduced the always on 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.559 display with the iPhone and people are like, oh, that's there, 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.079 goes the battery. But no, they seem to hold up. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.200 So if you want that feature, by the way, you 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.040 do have to go with the sixteen Pro Max. That's 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.080 not on the standard sixteen. And again it's not on 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.840 the sixteen e either. Eighty eight Rich one O one 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.440 eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.559 If you want notes to anything that I talk about 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.920 on the show, just go to Rich on tech dot 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.719 TV hit the light Bulb. I do take very good 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.360 notes and I post them all there. Let's go to 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.920 Wayne in Irvine, California. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:38.679 Wayne, you're on with. 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.199 Rich him Rich, I have a big problem to hear 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.120 this week. A few days ago, my Facebook account was 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:49.400 suspended and I got a message and say, your Facebook 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.920 account was suspended because your Instagram account and it has 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.880 an Instagram account name, does not follow our rules. 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:57.600 And it's not my account. 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.160 I guess I've been hacked and as a result, because 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.160 it didn't follow their rules. Whatever they did, they shut 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.439 down my whole Facebook account. How do I get it back? 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.839 This is this is a major problem, Wayan, and you know, 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.479 I feel for you, number one, because it's very frustrating 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.560 because you can't really get a hold of someone at Facebook. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.040 So this happened to me, but it wasn't It was 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:20.560 a mistake. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.520 I was not hacked, just I don't know if I 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.760 was targeted whatever from Facebook, but I but I mind 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.240 all of a sudden went away. And the way I 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.800 got it back was I tweeted and of course people 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.160 see me and you know whatever, they ended up getting 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.959 it back somehow miraculously. But for the rest of you 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.240 that have to deal with the standard process of Facebook, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.240 it is not easy. So number one, you got to 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.880 go to Facebook dot com slash hacked, and that is 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.240 the place to go to get your account back. The 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.960 way that they are taking over these accounts is many, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.680 many ways. So if you have a week password, obviously 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.480 that's an easy one. The second way is they find 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.480 your password online through all these data leaks and hacks 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.000 and things, and they just try a bunch of them Facebook. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.920 I mean, there are a couple of main websites out 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:11.520 there right, Facebook, Instagram, x, Gmail, Yahoo, all of those 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.280 accounts people are going to try when they find your 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.360 user name and your password online. So if they find 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.360 an email address that's got an email and a password, 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.280 they're going to just go to these websites and try them. 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.600 It's most of the time an automated system that's just 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.760 trying many of them all at the same time. But 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.800 sometimes they get in, like they did with your account. 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.040 So once they get in, what are they doing? Why 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.240 do they even want access to these accounts? They want 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.680 access because these are legitimate accounts, And so all of 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.000 a sudden, your account goes from sharing your puppy photos 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.480 with your friends to now selling some crypto scam to 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.960 your friends and texting all of them and saying, hey, 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.320 I've got this great offer for you, and your friend 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.720 is like, that's not typically like what Wayne is texting me, 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.320 But I'll text them back because my friend Wayne. And 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.920 then of course your friend realizes that it's not really you, 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.640 it's a hacker, and the scam just continues and they 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.400 it's a numbers game. So that's the number one place 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.480 to go Facebook dot Com, slash hacked. It does take 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.360 a while, you may get it back, you may not, 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.080 but I know from experience it does take a long time. Now, 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.760 the other thing people have had some success with is 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.240 this thing called meta verified. So if you go through 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.360 Facebook dot com slash hacked, you're not going to get 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.200 a human right, You're just gonna go through an automated 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:25.040 system over and over, keep trying. But meta verified you 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.880 pay fifteen bucks a month to get verified, and then 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.520 what happens when you pay that fifteen dollars a month. 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.480 You now have access to a live human being who 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.160 can help you get your account back. Now, we had 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.920 this exact same issue last week, and I'm trying to 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.680 find my feedback here where I put this in. But 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.320 let's see she ended up. We had Alison and Newport Beach. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.640 She got our business Instagram account taken down for violations. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.120 She knew what was not true. I told her about 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.760 the meta verified program. She emailed me after the show saying, 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.640 oh MG, it worked, my account was back. Thanks so 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.240 much for your help. I'm on the hook for eleven 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.880 ninety nine a month through meta but I'm happy to 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.200 be part of their protection plan. So she got her 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.360 account back instant, I mean almost instantly after she did this, 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.800 so I told her, I said, look, you probably don't 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.000 have to pay forever. Just pay for the first month, 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.720 get your account back, get it up and running, secure 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.160 your account, and then you can stop paying. And here 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.440 is the most important takeaway for not only you, Wane, 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:28.000 but every single person that has an Instagram or a 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:32.840 Facebook account. Lock down your account with two factor authentication. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:38.080 So Google Facebook, two factor authentication, Instagram two factor authentication. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.000 That is what you need to do. So what happens 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.400 is even if someone gets into your account with your 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.400 username and your password, once they try to log in, 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.960 it is going to text you a code and they 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.640 are not going to have that code because it's going 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.600 to go to your cell phone or your email address, 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:55.680 and the hacker is going to be foiled because they 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.320 don't have it. And when you get that code, you go, 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.440 oh ooh, that's a problem. Why am I getting this 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.440 code randomly? It's because someone's trying to get into your account. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:08.440 So please the takeaway use strong passwords, unique passwords, two 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.719 factor authentication. That is the best way to authenticate and 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:17.040 keep your account safe. An authentication app is better than 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:18.040 a text message. 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.520 But I'll take the text message, all right, Coming up, 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.960 we're going to talk to Titania Jordan of Bark. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.280 She's going to tell us how to keep kids safe online. 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:34.520 My next guest is Titania Jordan. She's with Bark Technologies 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:39.000 and a passionate advocate for keeping kids safe online. Her 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.600 new book is called Parental Control. It teaches parents how 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.840 to take back the reins and guide their kids toward 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:51.240 a safer, healthier online experience. So you're with Bark Technologies, 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:52.480 first off, tell me what Bark. 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:52.919 Is all about. 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.320 Sure, So, Bark helps keep kids safer online with our 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.879 Safer smartphone for Kids, Safer smart watch for Kids, our app, 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.480 our community. It's just it's been incredible to see the 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:04.720 growth since twenty fifteen. 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.560 What do you think kids and parents are up against 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.919 on the Internet today, Well. 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.960 Rich, you know just as much as I do about this, 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.639 But for everybody watching and listening, it's a lot. Children 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.200 are spending upwards of eight hours a day on connected tech. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.760 Their children, their parents have no frame of reference for 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:28.800 these worlds like Snapchat and roadblocks and Minecraft, so parents 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:33.040 are floundering. Kids are exposed to problematic content and people 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.760 much younger than they should be, much more frequently than 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.320 they should be, so it is truly a state of crisis. 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.719 So when we hear these terms like Snapchat and roadblocks 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.760 and all these other platform games and the things that 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:49.560 kids are just doing and it's accepted shorts, are they 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:50.560 really bad? 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:57.240 Yes? Yeah? In short, yes, is everything bad all the time? 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:57.560 No? 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.639 But would you let it twelve year old drive a 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.200 Lamborghini with no seat belt? 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:06.800 No? 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.560 Would you send a third grader into the woods to 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:11.000 cut down a tree with a chainsaw? 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:11.760 No? 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.199 You know, there's really powerful tools that we all have 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.400 at our disposal, smartphones and the Internet included, and when 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.600 you give children unfiltered, unfettered, unmonitored access to the Internet, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:23.160 bad things are going to happen. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:23.960 It's the Internet. 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.160 What do you think about the tools that tech companies 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.320 themselves put out? Okay, I know it's a loaded questions, 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:31.360 you know the answer. 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.280 Yeah, I will say the most promising parental controls that 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.440 I have seen to date from any big tech company 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.880 have been Instagram's teen accounts. 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:42.919 Those are actually decent. 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:47.080 Asterisk everything else that I have seen smoke and mirrors 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.720 because the child can unlink it, or the parental controls 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.639 aren't actually giving the parent any control or any meaningful insight. 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.960 What are some of the worst offenders out there when 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.879 it comes to what kids are exposed to on these platforms. 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:02.680 Is it TikTok? 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:03.880 Is it Instagram? 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:05.040 Is it Roadblocks? 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:06.840 If I have to. 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.840 Pick one, like the number one top worst app for 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.600 a child, including somebody under the age of eighteen an 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:15.119 older teen, it's Snapchat. 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.400 It's absolutely Snapchat, hands down. 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.320 Snapchat was created for the whole premise of sending disappearing 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.439 dudes right, not a place that kids need to be. 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:29.320 It makes children think unrealistically that their photos and videos 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.200 will disappear when we know that they are saved to 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.560 a server or somebody else nearby can take a. 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.680 Picture of it. 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:40.240 It facilitates the sale and distribution of drugs that have 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.520 fentanyl in it that have killed children. It creates too 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.560 fomo and mental health issues. You know, if you're on 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.000 snap maps, you see where all your friends are and 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:48.880 you weren't invited. 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:50.200 That does not feel good. 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:54.200 And parents not blaming them, but I feel like they're busy, 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.960 they don't understand all of the tools out there, and 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.400 they just don't have the time, no to even get 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.280 through what all of this means. So they let their kids. 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.119 They hand the phone over, they hand the tablet, and 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:06.920 the kids seem to be content. 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.400 So is that where the problem occurs. That's a huge 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:10.240 part of the problem. 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.560 And anything that I am saying to you right now 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:15.639 is not from a place of judgment. It's from a 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.040 place of I have been there. My son is sixteen. 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.640 I made all the mistakes. I let the iPad baby 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:22.880 sit him, I let him have too much tech too soon, 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.399 And I am pleading with you to please not make 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.480 those same mistakes with your children, because it has very 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.920 real physical and mental health ramifications. 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.480 Tell me about the book, So why did you want 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:37.240 to write a book and what do you hope to 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:38.919 instill in the reader? 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:43.360 I wrote this book because it's the book I wish 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:47.440 I had Again. My son is sixteen, and starting when 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.639 he was around three four five, I was faced with 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:54.200 all of these issues around when to allow us access 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.119 and seeing the problems it was causing with lighting up 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.320 the pleasure shuner for his brain and him were responding 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:00.960 in a way that I. 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:03.280 Would never respond to my parents, you know, like wait what? 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:06.280 And then I just started to realize and unpack all 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:10.080 these things. And again I can't go back, but Hopefully 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:12.560 those of you with younger children, or even children that 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:16.000 are older, you have the opportunity to make a better 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:20.000 choice today. And hopefully my book giving you the data 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.520 for how to properly raise your child in this age 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:26.960 when everything is completely nuts, can help you have a 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.639 better relationship with your child, set your child up for 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:35.040 success again physically, with more movement outside and mentally around just. 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:36.640 Being a happier, more fulfilled human. 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.280 If I had to give parents just one tip, right, 0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.960 maybe you don't like to read books, don't want to 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.399 buy the book, that's totally fine, But I would say, 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:47.560 and it's actually not one. 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:50.320 I'm going to slip two in there. Two for one. 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.600 One is just delay is the way you will not 0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:57.359 regret delaying giving your child access. And I can't claim 0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:59.640 responsibility for that quote. It comes from our friend Chris 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.960 mckenn of protect young Eyes dot com. And then also 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.480 just free tip, don't let your children have connected tech 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:09.280 in the bedrooms behind closed doors overnight. 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:11.280 You can avoid a lot of problems that way. 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.400 Any warning signs parents should be aware of when their 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:19.359 kids are either seeing too much, having too much, doing 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:19.800 too much. 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:26.000 Absolutely, you know when your child overreacts because you've said, okay, 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.280 you've had enough. That's a clear warning sign that they 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.639 are not able to self regulate. The tech is in 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:33.920 control of them. They are not in control of the tech. 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.080 So you have to work with them to help them 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.640 understand that. Help them understand why there's a reason why 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:40.560 they don't have unlimited access to a tub of ice 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:42.480 cream at dinner, and there's a reason why they don't 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:47.520 have unlimited access to Minecraft for seven hours on Saturday. 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:50.800 You know warning signs that are even more severe and 0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.760 important to pay attention to anything involving sleep too much, 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:58.919 not enough, diet too much, not enough grades? Are they 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:04.160 dropping changes with friends and interest? There's an obviously normal 0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:06.160 amount of that as you grow, But if your child 0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:10.800 has completely withdrawn or seems agitated when certain people are around, 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:14.840 just pay attention and trust your gut. We are given 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.800 this gut feeling where we just we can sense something 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:19.919 is off with your child. Do not be afraid to 0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.360 address it. And if your child won't talk to you, 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.360 which is normal, that's okay. Don't be afraid to reach 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:29.280 out to your child's pediatrician or school counselor, because unfortunately 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:32.720 they are seeing a dramatic increase in issues with children, 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:34.479 and they are best suited to help you address that. 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:35.640 What was the. 0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.240 Biggest challenge you faced in writing the book? Any chapter 0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.600 that stands out to you, or any topic that you 0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:44.760 thought was really the most important. 0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:47.159 In this It was suggested to me that I share 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.359 some of my personal stories growing up to help give 0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.320 the reader reference for why I do. 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:53.240 This and why I care. 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.159 So it was hard to talk about, you know, my 0:24:56.359 --> 0:25:00.960 childhood sexual abuse, or my own struggles with ideation and 0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:05.000 disorder eating. But I'm so thankful that I can share 0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:07.640 those things without shame, because that's how we help each 0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:10.719 other as by being real with each other. You know, 0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.679 I went on to have a very successful career and family, 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.600 and I'm very happy and fulfilled and if I can 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:19.359 overcome all of those things and be here with you today, 0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:23.280 like anyone can. So that was a challenge. And then 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.679 also just the subtitle like how do you do this 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:29.000 in a balanced way? You know, you can either give 0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.280 all the access and raise your hands up and say 0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.480 oh oh, or you can keep your kid in a bubble, 0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.399 have no internet and you know, live off the grid. 0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:39.880 Neither of those solutions work, So what is the right 0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.760 way the playbook, the task lisk for how to do 0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:46.439 this in a way that everybody is healthy and has balance. 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:47.040 And that was hard. 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:48.640 That was hard to land on because we are still 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:49.920 figuring this out in real time. 0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:53.719 Yeah, so I guess my final question is can this 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:56.399 be done? I mean, can parents have a good back 0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.800 and forth with their kids and their kids have a 0:25:58.840 --> 0:25:59.960 good relationship with tech? 0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:01.240 Is a possible? 0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:02.640 I really believe it is. 0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:05.240 I really believe it is because again tech is a tool, 0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:08.920 and our children can use the tech to create, to curate, 0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:12.119 to authentically connect with loved ones through FaceTime, you know, 0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.520 with Grandma who's across the country. We can use tech 0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:16.720 as a tool, but we have to remain in control 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.800 of it. We have to have balance, and we have 0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:24.000 to be fully informed about things like addictive algorithms and misinformation. 0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:28.280 And is this an influencer? Is this just an organic post? 0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:29.880 You know? So we can? 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.400 We absolutely can, And it starts with listening to Rich 0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:35.520 and I today and just just paying attention and those 0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:39.280 candid conversations with your children more frequently than you might think, 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:40.360 and younger. 0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:40.680 Than you might think. 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:44.280 Big thanks to Tatanya Jordan for joining me. Some great 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.199 insights on how parents can help their kids navigate the 0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:51.520 online world. Her book Parental Control is available March eleventh. 0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:54.520 You can pre order it right now. It's definitely worth 0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:56.879 a read if you're looking to take charge of your. 0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:59.920 Child's digital life. I'll put a link on my website. 0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:03.680 On tech dot TV, more tech talk coming your way 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.880 at triple eight. Rich one oh one, you are listening 0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:13.800 to Rich on tech. Let's go to Maureene in Burbank Marine. 0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:14.600 You're on with Rich. 0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:18.120 Hi, thank you for taking that call. I love your show. 0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:18.840 Thank you. 0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:22.560 I have gotten for the past week, and I think 0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:27.960 I know what's wrong. Now your iCloud subscription has expired 0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:31.480 and it click to renew and then it gives you 0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:34.720 all these plans. So I got it like almost every 0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:37.159 day now. Today when I was waiting for you to 0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:41.720 come on the line, I krised it again and Rebroot 0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:45.520 came up and said, you know, don't do it in 0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:49.760 red and everything. So I'm assuming this is a prank. 0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.440 Yeah, these have been going around and this is well, 0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:55.879 I mean, there is some truth to it, right because 0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.560 iCloud is a very popular service on a lot of 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:01.560 iPhones and people do run out of storage all the time, 0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:04.960 and so they do get messages from Apple that say, hey, 0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:06.800 you need to upgrade or else you're gonna run out 0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:10.040 of space. But what I've talked about in the past 0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:13.000 on this show is that every scam artist takes what 0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:15.639 we typically get and what we know to be true, 0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:17.040 and they put some sort. 0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:18.800 Of devious twist on it. 0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:21.520 Right, So they take that same message that we get 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.520 that we need sometimes hey you run out of vicloud, 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.359 and they make their own and it looks convincing. But 0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:31.640 and I think this is really interesting that your program 0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:34.320 popped into action and said, hey, this is a bad link, 0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.119 like don't click this link. And so that's really smart 0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:39.600 that you had that protection. So I like that. But yes, 0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:41.920 so I think what you've experienced is the fact that 0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:46.160 you got a bunch of emails that are bogus and 0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:48.320 they are trying to get you to click a link 0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.520 and to hand over personal information, and not just hand 0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:56.120 over personal information, but probably steal your Apple log in, 0:28:56.680 --> 0:28:59.120 because what happens is they will present you with a 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:02.280 page that looks like an iCloud log in, you will 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:04.640 log in, and next thing you know, as soon as 0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:06.840 you log in, something's not going to be right, and 0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.320 you're gonna go, that's kind of weird. But they capture 0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:13.720 that username and that password immediately, and they will take 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.160 that and they will hack you as soon as they can. 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.440 And the other thing about this is that this is 0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.720 why I talk about two factor authentication. Because let's say 0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.520 you clicked on that page, you ignore all the warnings, 0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:27.680 you log in with your Apple ID and your password, 0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.320 and they take it and they try to log in. 0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:34.360 What will happen is it will say, oh, okay, someone's 0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:37.640 trying to log in. Let's send Maureen a text with 0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:41.480 her two factor authentication. Hey, someone's logging in in some 0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.000 other random country in the world. Do you want to 0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.720 approve this log in? If so, yes, and here's the 0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:49.560 code to approve that login. You'll see that and you'll go, oh, 0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:51.960 I just did something really bad. So we have to 0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:54.360 be aware of these scams. We have to be aware 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:58.280 that these scam artists pose in ways that look like 0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:01.560 stuff that should be happening, but it's not real. So 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:05.400 always check the return email address. Always hover over the 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:10.080 link on an email that you get and look and 0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:12.600 see what that link is bringing you to. Most of 0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:15.200 the time it's a website that is either completely off 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:19.120 base or it's a website with a URL that looks 0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:20.480 like the real thing but is not. 0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:22.480 So be very very careful. 0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:25.560 Now I will tell you, Maureen, you had this software 0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:27.800 kind of pop in and it must be scanning the 0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:29.960 links that you click to make sure that they are valid. 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.600 So I will put a note about this. This is 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:36.200 why I like using Google Chrome over Safari on the iPhone. 0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:41.320 So Google Chrome has this thing called Enhanced Browsing protection, 0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:45.080 and so what they're doing is they're actually scanning. It's 0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:49.960 called enhanced Safe browsing. So generally they have safe browsing 0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:53.240 is the default. Enhanced is a little bit more. But 0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:56.760 what happens is when you're on Google Chrome, any link 0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.720 that you go to, Google is scanning that link to 0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:03.400 make sure it is not malware, It is not a virus, 0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.720 it is not a phishing link. And they're doing that 0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.160 based on all the other people that are surfing the web. 0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:11.680 They kind of notice when these links pop up, and 0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:14.080 so they'll put a big red screen between you and 0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:17.480 that link and say, hey, other people or we figure 0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:20.320 that this link is bad and you'll get that screen. 0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:24.440 Now that does not happen on Safari unfortunately so on 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:26.440 your iPhone. And I've done this just the other day. 0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.400 I was testing some links and I clicked the same 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:32.680 exact link on Chrome on the iPhone and Safari on 0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.160 the iPhone. Safari brought me right to it, No problem, 0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:38.320 go ahead, take you go there, Chrome said, huh, hold on, 0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:41.040 you might want to think twice before you click this link. 0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:43.560 So I would say that's a little bit of a 0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:47.760 reason why it's better to use Chrome on the iPhone 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:51.400 than Safari, which is built and free from from Apple. Now, 0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:54.720 the flip side is that Google, I guess their payment 0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:57.320 for all of this protection is taking more of your 0:31:57.320 --> 0:32:01.240 personal information as you surf the web, because Google's entire 0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:04.320 business is collecting data about you and what you do 0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:06.160 and where you serf and what you search, and then 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:09.640 selling that against advertising, whereas Apple does not do that. 0:32:10.000 --> 0:32:12.960 So you are a little bit more private in your 0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:17.320 information on Safari on the iPhone versus Chrome, but you're 0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.480 giving up when something like this happens, And something like 0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:23.200 this could actually be more detrimental than them knowing that 0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:27.160 you're looking for a mattress or a new cooler or 0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:30.800 whatever you're searching for it that they're selling ads against so. 0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:31.720 Good question, Maureen. 0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:35.040 Hopefully you have your pictures backed up in nycloud or 0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:37.120 wherever you're backing them up and they're safe and sound, 0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:41.760 but be careful. I actually posted this on my Instagram 0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:43.960 and this is If you're not following me on Instagram, 0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:45.320 please follow me on Instagram. 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:45.920 This is what I do. 0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:49.040 I post all of the latest scams that are happening 0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:51.000 so that you are aware of them. And some of 0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:54.800 them seem just way too too unreal, like who would 0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:57.000 fall for this stuff? Like yesterday I posted one about 0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:58.920 this brushing scam? Have you heard about this? 0:32:59.520 --> 0:32:59.880 People? 0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:04.120 Literally scam artists will send random packages to your house. 0:33:04.800 --> 0:33:07.880 These packages will come to your door, it'll have something 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:11.640 in there of nominal value pair, socks, whatever, and there 0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:13.920 will be a QR code on the package and you're like, 0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:15.680 that's weird, Why did I get this package? Let me 0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.719 scan this QR code for more information. And that QR 0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:21.800 code may take you to a fake Amazon site. It 0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:24.600 may take you to a fake whatever site to try 0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:27.400 to get you to log in. And what are they doing? 0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:30.760 They're stealing your credentials? Now is this happening a lot? 0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:31.560 I'm not sure? 0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:32.360 Is it happening. 0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:36.520 Yes, brushing has been going on forever where these The 0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:38.320 original way they were doing it is they would send 0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:41.360 you a package, you would scan the link or whatever, 0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:43.160 and you would review the product. You'd be like, oh, 0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:45.480 here's a free product, please review it on Amazon, and 0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:47.719 you say, oh, that's cool. But now they're doing this 0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:52.280 QR code. That's nefarious. So I posted that. I will 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:56.080 tell you when I posted the iCloud warning that you 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:59.400 were talking about, Maureen, this was a long time ago. 0:33:59.480 --> 0:33:59.880 Here it is. 0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:04.520 This was in January fourth. I posted about that and 0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:08.239 says immediate action required. Secure your iCloud account now before 0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:13.359 suspending iCloud subscription alert. And I explained why it's fake, 0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:15.960 and I said, look at the reply, look at the 0:34:16.120 --> 0:34:18.880 link when you hover over it update payment information. 0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:20.239 It's completely bogus. 0:34:20.680 --> 0:34:22.640 So again, if you're not following me on Instagram at 0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:27.080 rich on Tech, and you listening to a tech program 0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.400 like this, may say, rich come on, this stuff is 0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:32.560 like basic. But there are people out there, especially in 0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:36.239 your family, the less tech savvy folks, who may fall 0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:38.600 for this stuff. And that's why I share it to 0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:40.640 my Instagram so that you can share it to your 0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:43.680 Instagram stories and they can be alerted about it, or 0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:45.560 you can text them with it and say, hey, you know, 0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:46.520 just be. 0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:47.120 Aware of this. 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:50.200 The more you are aware of these scams, the more 0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:53.960 you are just empowered to ignore them. And when you 0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:57.080 see them, you can spot them quickly. And that's what 0:34:57.120 --> 0:34:59.440 it's all about, all right about Facebook? 0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:00.000 Real quick? 0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:03.960 I got a message from uh let's see Summer said, hey, 0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:06.480 can you address Facebook's new policy on their intention to 0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:10.160 delete live videos after thirty days? Yes, starting February nineteenth, 0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:13.000 which is already passed, Facebook is going to automatically delete 0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:17.080 live video recordings thirty days after you live stream. So 0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:20.680 you can save your old videos by downloading them, sharing 0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:23.440 them as the reels, or transferring them. But if you 0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:26.759 have live videos older than thirty days, that's it. These 0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:30.080 are going away after ninety days. You can postpone an 0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:34.319 individual video by six months, but either save your live 0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:36.520 videos or they're going to go away. And in the future, 0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:38.960 if you have new ones, they're going away. Facebook says 0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:41.040 they're doing this because most people watch a live video 0:35:41.360 --> 0:35:44.000 within a couple weeks of it going live. Now, you 0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.600 know eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight 0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:48.800 eight seven four to two. 0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:54.120 Four one zero one. Welcome back to rich on Tech. 0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:57.439 Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology at 0:35:57.600 --> 0:35:59.399 Triple eight Rich one oh one. 0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:00.880 That's eight eight eight. 0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:04.879 Seven four two four one zero one.

If you want 0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:11.080 to send me an email, you can do it right there. 0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:13.399 If you want to submit your question that way. While 0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:15.759 you're there, be sure to sign up for my free newsletter. 0:36:16.640 --> 0:36:20.239 New issue went out this weekend, so be sure to 0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:24.240 read that all about the iPhone sixteen E. Speaking of Apple, 0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:28.040 coming up this hour, we've got Brandon Butch, tech YouTuber 0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:30.839 and writer at the Apple Den. He's going to talk 0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:33.839 about all things Apple this week, all the little announcements 0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:36.440 that they had. So we'll get on the line with 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:41.399 him and talk big breakthrough this week from Microsoft. Now, 0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:44.640 this goes way over my head. It's quantum computing, but 0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:48.560 it seems like a big deal. This is a new chip, 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:54.000 the Mayorana one. This is a groundbreaking quantum chip powered 0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:58.440 by a new material who invents a new material topo conductor. 0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:02.680 They say it's the biggest breakthrough in computing materials since silicon. 0:37:03.600 --> 0:37:09.240 The topo conductor, topological semic superconductor is not a solid 0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:12.960 liquid or gas. It's a new state of matter that 0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:15.840 scientists have theorized for about one hundred years, but hadn't 0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:19.840 achieved it until now. My friend I Justine, did a 0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:22.200 great video. She went up to Microsoft and did a 0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:26.400 video on this thing. And apparently this this new chip 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.880 they made to work has to be in like a 0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:32.560 space that is colder than outer space, like in this 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.800 kind of they put it in this chamber just to work. 0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:40.719 That's how wild this stuff is. So the main thing 0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:44.120 about this material is that a could drastically speed up 0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:48.560 quantum computing development, so cutting timelines from decades. 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:49.280 To just a few years. 0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:55.120 And that means that these chips are so incredibly powerful 0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:59.760 they can solve complex problems faster, so things like energy, healthcare, 0:37:59.800 --> 0:38:05.040 and vironmental cleanup. So things like self healing materials, sustainable agriculture, 0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:09.799 advance chemical discoveries. Because they can compute this stuff so 0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:14.960 much faster, the timeline for figuring out these solutions is quicker. 0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:17.759 Now this is all theoretical at this point. I mean 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:20.400 they came up with this chip and the material, but 0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:23.120 now they actually have to somehow use it, and so 0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:25.960 I think that's the next step here, but pretty wild 0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:33.120 the topoconductor based cubits cubits are with quantum bits. They 0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:37.080 are so small, one to one hundredth of a millimeter. 0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:39.759 I mean, I don't get It's like, how do you 0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:42.040 even think about this stuff? We're talking about things you 0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:43.719 can't even see. 0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:46.280 Now, here's the whole thing with quantum computing. 0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:50.320 There's a lot of errors apparently in the quantum computing 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:53.960 realm because of the way that these chips are designed. 0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:57.399 So when they're coming up with the calculations, apparently they 0:38:57.600 --> 0:39:00.160 have a lot of mistakes. And so the big thing 0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:01.640 that they've been trying to figure out is how to 0:39:01.680 --> 0:39:06.680 make less mistakes. And I guess Microsoft's breakthrough has much 0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:11.040 more error resistance and digital control for better performance. So 0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:14.680 it just sounds wild. I'm excited just because anything with 0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:15.480 these breakthroughs. 0:39:15.520 --> 0:39:16.160 We had Google. 0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:18.840 I talked about a breakthrough in quantum computing with Google 0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:21.680 a couple of weeks ago or a couple of months ago, 0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:24.759 and now we've got Microsoft. So again, the timeline for 0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:27.080 all of this stuff just continues to accelerate, and I'm 0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:29.719 here for it. Very very exciting. Let's go to Mark 0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:33.560 in Los Angeles, Mark, you're on with Rich Rich you 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:35.120 excited about quantum computing. 0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:38.680 Mark, I'm very excited about it. Maybe it'll solve my problems. 0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:42.480 I have two R low camera systems. I've had them 0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:45.840 for years and with the old app they've been great. 0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:49.400 I had to upgrade to the new app and the 0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:53.640 new app is just terrible and difficult and very complicated. 0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:57.160 I can't set the same schedules and alerts I do. 0:39:57.200 --> 0:40:00.760 Haven't paid subscription. However, the real problem, as I called 0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.520 Arlow customer service in India. I've spent hours on the 0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:08.719 phone with different people and they can't figure it out either. Well, 0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:12.040 that's a problem, don't know, you know, it's just too complicated. 0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:14.359 When I ask a question, they put me on a 0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:17.200 long hold and they come back with an answer that 0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:20.600 I know that they don't really understand. My question is 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:23.400 is there a way to get back to the old app? 0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:26.719 They said no? Or is there a way to contact 0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:30.640 Arlow someone in the US to get like real answers 0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:32.280 like how do I make this all work? 0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:36.520 Well, the second question is a good one. I will 0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:39.880 reach out to Arlow and see what they say. But 0:40:40.000 --> 0:40:43.960 I think that have you asked for like an elevated 0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:46.359 customer service supervisor. 0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:46.960 Have you done that? 0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:51.239 Yes? And and someone is supposed to call me. They 0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:54.279 haven't yet, but I mean, you know, I think they 0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:58.279 probably will, but everybody, I mean, this is really it's 0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:00.719 kind of like the Saunos app. They've come up with 0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:01.719 a new app. 0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:04.200 Oh oh, Mark, don't get me started on it. I 0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:06.080 oh my gosh. 0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:10.120 I've had Sonos for since almost since day one, and 0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:14.000 my system I I can't. I used to not be 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:17.439 able to speak high enough about Sonos. Now I don't 0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:19.520 think I could ever recommend it to someone because it's 0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:20.160 so terrible. 0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:21.719 Yeah, the app. 0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:25.799 I still cannot adjust the volume on all of my 0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:27.000 speakers at the same time. 0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:29.960 That is that is insane to me. This is something 0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:31.080 that is like, this is. 0:41:31.480 --> 0:41:32.520 Almost like the same thing. 0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:32.719 Now. 0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:35.520 They have told me I do have two different locations, 0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:39.200 which was never a problem. One of the people said, well, 0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:42.200 maybe you have to get it by a second subscription, 0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:45.600 and I said, well I never had to before. And 0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:48.160 if that's the the the the goal of the new 0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:51.359 app is just to make more money, you know. One 0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.880 that's not very It doesn't make me happy, but it 0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:56.440 should have been disclosed that way. 0:41:56.920 --> 0:41:57.920 Yeah. 0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:02.120 So okay, so the main system, so your system doesn't 0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:03.440 do what it used to do anymore. 0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:04.600 Correct. 0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:09.239 Okay, now when it comes to the app. Now, I 0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:11.320 don't know how much. When did they update this app. 0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:14.400 It's like a couple of weeks ago. I think it's 0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:15.040 pretty recent. 0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:16.600 Do you have an Android or an iPhone? 0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:17.320 iPhone? 0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:20.520 Okay, well that's a problem. So so on Android, you 0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:23.879 you can go to websites called APK websites that will 0:42:23.880 --> 0:42:26.799 give you the actual old versions of apps. So in 0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:28.960 this case, if you wanted to go download the r 0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:32.200 low Secure from you know, a couple months ago, you 0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:33.920 might be able to find it on this like an 0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:38.120 APK website. There's one example is called APK mirror. Now, 0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:40.360 you got to be careful, and I'm talking to Android 0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:44.359 folks right now, because if you're downloading apk's that is, 0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:49.840 there could be room for viruses, malware, spyware, so you 0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:51.560 do have to be careful. But a lot of times 0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:54.560 Google will scan them. You know, in this the website 0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:56.360 that you're getting it from, as long as it's reputable, 0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.040 will scan it as well. So I'm just saying, proceed 0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:00.680 at your own risk. With I phone, that is not 0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:04.560 possible once iPhone upgrades, there's really no way to go back. 0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:06.360 There is not a system to do that. 0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:10.239 So for you, Mark, the problem is, how do you 0:43:10.280 --> 0:43:12.200 get these things to do what you need them to do, 0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:13.919 and what do you need them to do that they're 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:14.640 not doing. 0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:20.880 It just to have two different systems, both easily accessible 0:43:20.920 --> 0:43:24.719 and to go ahead and set different schedules and alerts 0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:26.440 for both for either system. 0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:28.280 But they're in different locations. 0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:30.960 They are, But that was never ever a problem with 0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:31.720 the old app. 0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:37.120 Okay, yeah, I mean so that I don't I don't 0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:38.839 know because I don't use our low so I don't 0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:42.319 really know why that changed. But I can understand that 0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:45.360 if you're looking trying to think, like with my standard camera. 0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:47.759 So if they're on two different Wi Fi networks, is 0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:48.919 that what I'm hearing here? 0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:49.480 Yeah? 0:43:49.680 --> 0:43:50.880 Yeah, so I think that is. 0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:54.080 They probably said, like, look, if something's on one Wi 0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:56.840 Fi network, you can't manage it from the same place 0:43:56.920 --> 0:43:59.480 because you're gonna have to just to log in separately 0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:02.359 for each network. Now or do they all show up 0:44:02.360 --> 0:44:04.359 on the same app? They just you just can't control them. 0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:06.600 They all show up on the same app. But but 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:09.759 you just now one of them no longer records and 0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:13.400 one of them can't be set and in general before 0:44:13.440 --> 0:44:17.759 actually that, the the app itself is just terrible in 0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:19.719 just in terms of how you you know, have to 0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:22.319 now do a very complicated setup what used to be 0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:25.279 a very easy thing. I just hate to have to 0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:29.360 buy another subscription when before I didn't have to. But 0:44:29.360 --> 0:44:31.560 but but I'm not sure that that's actually going to 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:32.719 solve the problem. 0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:35.239 Yeah, well, I mean, so what do you what do 0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:37.799 you need the subscription for for? What do you use 0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:38.120 that for? 0:44:38.719 --> 0:44:41.840 Uh, it's it's to record and uh, you know, to 0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:46.359 record any kind of camera alert camera video and it 0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:49.960 gives you your really good alerts. And you know, I 0:44:50.160 --> 0:44:52.480 don't mind paying for It's always functioned really well. 0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:56.200 Have you searched online for the r low app update? 0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:57.680 Are there people complaining about this? 0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:00.600 I went on the community. Yes they are complaining. 0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.080 Okay, I'm looking at Reddit right now. There's a Do 0:45:03.120 --> 0:45:06.640 you know about the website Reddit Answers No? Yeah, so 0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:09.080 I just searched. Reddit Answers is sort of like they're 0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:09.960 you know Reddit, right? 0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:10.440 Yeah? 0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:12.760 Okay, so Reddit Answers is sort of like their AI, 0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:15.800 and so it searches through all of the reddit forms 0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:16.759 without you having to. 0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:17.960 Do it and summarizes it. 0:45:18.440 --> 0:45:23.720 And so yeah, people are definitely having issues with motion detection, 0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:29.760 geo fencing, and scheduling the user interface. People are threatening 0:45:29.760 --> 0:45:33.160 to switch to different brands. Some people have found partial 0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:37.440 solutions by tweaking settings like motion sensitivity and redefining activity 0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:44.279 zones and third party solutions interesting. Seymour By prompt ai, 0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:46.160 I can't. I don't know if I would recommend that, 0:45:46.320 --> 0:45:48.600 but yeah, it sounds like Mark, the issues you're having 0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:51.759 are not unique to you. The best I can say 0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:54.240 is I will reach out to r Low and see 0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:56.480 what they kind of say if this is a more 0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:58.680 recent update, which just sounds like it is. Maybe they're 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:02.600 still polishing things, But I would say my instinct is 0:46:02.640 --> 0:46:05.640 telling me that if you're saying it's tougher to manage 0:46:05.640 --> 0:46:09.960 the two different locations because of the subscription situation, it's 0:46:10.080 --> 0:46:13.440 probably because they want to push you to subscribe in 0:46:13.520 --> 0:46:16.160 more ways. And that's really and this is the sad 0:46:16.200 --> 0:46:18.160 part about all of the tech companies at this point 0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:23.480 is it used to be technology was unifying and empowering 0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:27.000 for the consumer, and now we are seeing a shift 0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:32.400 towards benefiting the company first, and that's always an issue 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:36.880 and all these and it's all because of subscriptions. Once 0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:40.040 these companies got an idea that, by the way, we're 0:46:40.040 --> 0:46:41.960 not going to sell you a box of software once, 0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:44.440 we are now going to have you subscribe every month 0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:46.120 for the rest of your life. Why would you not 0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:49.520 want that? And so it seems like every improvement quote 0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:52.960 unquote improvement we've seen with tech has always been pushing 0:46:53.400 --> 0:46:57.160 consumers towards that subscription for the stuff they really want. 0:46:57.239 --> 0:46:59.640 I think that might be what's going on here. Hopefully 0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:03.239 the app will get better over time. Eighty eight rich 0:47:03.320 --> 0:47:05.879 one O one eight eight eight seven four to two 0:47:06.120 --> 0:47:09.239 four one zero one. Coming up, I'll tell you about 0:47:09.280 --> 0:47:12.640 Google's new AI tool that helps you discover your next career. 0:47:12.880 --> 0:47:16.440 And Google's bringing one of their best Android features to 0:47:16.520 --> 0:47:19.360 iOS kind of sorta. I'll explain you are listening to 0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:25.919 rich on tech. Jace writes in on X Hey rich 0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:28.439 on Tech. I'm a visually impaired person and the home 0:47:28.480 --> 0:47:32.080 button on the iPhone is something I strongly value. With 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:34.880 the sixteen E, it will take a lot of getting 0:47:34.960 --> 0:47:37.960 used to for me, and I would prefer still having 0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:43.440 my home button. I used to se three at the moment. Yeah, 0:47:43.560 --> 0:47:46.399 you know, that is an interesting point, so it will 0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:47.440 take some getting used to. 0:47:48.560 --> 0:47:49.960 I think that you'll be able to. 0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:54.080 Yeah, that's going to be interesting, but it's it's good 0:47:54.080 --> 0:47:57.160 to have different perspectives. And Jase, thanks for that. Appreciate 0:47:57.200 --> 0:48:02.320 you writing in on that Google couple notable items. First off, 0:48:02.640 --> 0:48:05.400 Google is bringing one of their best features from Android 0:48:05.480 --> 0:48:07.920 to iPhone, but kindness sort is not going to work 0:48:07.960 --> 0:48:08.680 in the same way. 0:48:09.160 --> 0:48:12.240 If you've listened to me at all, you've heard me extol. 0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:15.960 The praises of Circle to Search on Android. I think 0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:20.960 this is the differentiator right now between Android and iPhone 0:48:21.160 --> 0:48:24.320 because anything on your screen on Android you can search, 0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:27.439 you can reverse search, you can circle whatever you need, 0:48:27.480 --> 0:48:28.239 you can search it. 0:48:29.600 --> 0:48:30.880 On iPhone you can't really do that. 0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:33.880 So there's times when someone posts a restaurant or a 0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:36.879 link or a phone number, whatever, and if it's not 0:48:37.120 --> 0:48:42.239 like something that is clickable, you can't do anything with it. 0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:43.960 But on Android you can. 0:48:44.120 --> 0:48:45.960 You just bring up Circle to Search and it will 0:48:45.960 --> 0:48:47.880 find the links, it will find the phone numbers, it 0:48:47.880 --> 0:48:51.520 will search the images, it will search the whatever you want, 0:48:51.640 --> 0:48:53.439 text translate things. 0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:56.960 I mean, it's quite miraculous. So anyway, in. 0:48:57.239 --> 0:49:01.120 iPhone there now bringing similar functionality, not calling it Circle 0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:05.440 to Search, but they're calling it Search Screen with Google Lens. 0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:07.719 And so if you want to try this out, this 0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:10.080 is on Chrome or the Google App. You don't have 0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:13.160 to screenshot anything. So in Chrome, tap the three dot 0:49:13.239 --> 0:49:16.839 menu and then selects Search screen with Google Lens. And 0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:18.799 in the Google App you can tap the three dot 0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:24.040 menu and choose search this screen. Uh So, it's not perfect, 0:49:24.120 --> 0:49:27.879 but it's a little bit better. And it's basically being 0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:30.640 billed as Google Lens but in a different way. But 0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:33.319 it's only going to work inside Chrome, which is fine 0:49:33.320 --> 0:49:36.240 if you're using Chrome as your browser and Google App, 0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:38.839 which is fine. It's a start, but the fact that 0:49:38.920 --> 0:49:43.080 this works across anything on Android is pretty incredible. And 0:49:43.120 --> 0:49:47.000 then Google launched a new tool called Career Dreamer. This 0:49:47.040 --> 0:49:50.720 is an AI powered tool from a grow with Google 0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:55.160 that basically lets you explore potential career paths based on 0:49:55.520 --> 0:49:59.520 your skills and also your background and your interests. So 0:49:59.600 --> 0:50:01.719 if you're in there thinking, gosh, I really kind of 0:50:01.719 --> 0:50:03.879 want a new job. Whatever I'm doing is not really working. 0:50:03.960 --> 0:50:06.600 But I've been a professor for twenty years and I 0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:07.759 want to try something new. 0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.640 Well, this tool basically has you go through a series of. 0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:15.839 Prompts saying, Okay, what are your skills, what's your current classification, 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:17.399 what are your skills, what do you like to do, 0:50:17.840 --> 0:50:20.680 what's your background? And then it will come up with things, 0:50:20.760 --> 0:50:24.279 thanks to AI, that you may be good for. And 0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:27.320 it taps into job market data, so it's like basically 0:50:27.400 --> 0:50:30.480 finding stuff that is not a dead end, stuff that's growing, 0:50:30.920 --> 0:50:35.319 based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics and also job 0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:37.960 market data from light Cast. It can also help you 0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.759 make a resume a cover letter, but kind of cool 0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:43.480 if you want to try it out grow dot Google 0:50:44.120 --> 0:50:50.040 slash career Dreamer, grow dot Google slash career Dreamer and 0:50:50.200 --> 0:50:52.319 pop in your skills. See where you can go. I 0:50:52.320 --> 0:50:53.960 should have done this. I should have done this to 0:50:54.000 --> 0:50:56.840 see what it comes up with for me. That'd be fun. 0:50:57.440 --> 0:50:58.000 Let's see here. 0:50:58.040 --> 0:51:01.399 Let's go to Patrick in reading Patrick kay, uh, you're 0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:01.960 on with Rich? 0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:12.280 Hello Rich? Hey, I have ways wise security systems Okay, 0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:18.600 and I I bought two or one. 0:51:19.280 --> 0:51:20.680 I've got a heart out here, so I need a 0:51:20.760 --> 0:51:22.920 question real quick here, Sorry. 0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:31.080 I have I want to know how to connect two 0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:36.280 new cameras, but none necessarily Wise cameras. They can pan okay, 0:51:36.760 --> 0:51:41.520 because the Wise three pan doesn't have night vision, they 0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:42.839 can't fix it. 0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:46.240 So you want to connect them to what the Wise app? 0:51:48.080 --> 0:51:51.919 Or no, actually a separate app. Is there an app 0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:56.520 that I can connect Wise cameras to end it can 0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:57.720 be the cheap camera. 0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:00.280 No, you gotta you gotta use the separate apps. 0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:03.719 The only thing you could do possibly is bring them 0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:07.120 into something like Google Home app. You might be able 0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:10.759 to monitor several of them from there. But as far 0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:12.640 as I know, I've got a couple different cameras in 0:52:12.680 --> 0:52:15.399 my house and they're all on different apps. So if 0:52:15.400 --> 0:52:17.200 I want to look at I can look at the 0:52:17.239 --> 0:52:20.160 cameras from let's see here, I can look at all 0:52:20.239 --> 0:52:23.839 of my let's see here, Yeah, I can look at them. 0:52:24.880 --> 0:52:28.400 Let's see those are all Nest cams. Yeah, so it 0:52:28.480 --> 0:52:31.640 looks like you have to Yeah, you may be able 0:52:31.640 --> 0:52:35.279 to link them up through the the Google Home app 0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:38.080 to view them, but your best bet, Patrick is just 0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.120 going to be to use the separate apps, because you're 0:52:40.160 --> 0:52:43.440 going to get the the full uh, you know, the 0:52:43.480 --> 0:52:47.520 full features of all these different cameras through their own apps, 0:52:47.560 --> 0:52:49.360 their own respective apps. So, as far as I know, 0:52:49.440 --> 0:52:52.920 you can't just mix and match into one place. But uh, 0:52:53.440 --> 0:52:57.440 you know, it's it's these these companies are building silos, right. 0:52:57.840 --> 0:52:59.719 They want you to use their app, they want you 0:52:59.760 --> 0:53:01.480 to have a subscription, they want you to have all 0:53:01.480 --> 0:53:04.719 the same thing. And I think that yes, you'll be 0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:07.080 able to do some of the functionality through the Google 0:53:07.080 --> 0:53:09.760 Home app if you have that per se, or maybe 0:53:09.760 --> 0:53:13.560 through the you know, the Home Kit, the Home on iOS, 0:53:14.040 --> 0:53:15.680 but I think for the most part you're gonna have to. 0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:16.760 Be stuck with the separate apps. 0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:20.160 Coming up, we're gonna talk to Brandon Butch of the 0:53:20.200 --> 0:53:23.560 Apple Den about all announcements from Apple this week. Right 0:53:23.560 --> 0:53:29.359 here on rich on Tech, We've got Brandon Butch here, 0:53:29.480 --> 0:53:33.239 tech YouTuber and writer at the Apple Den. Welcome to 0:53:33.280 --> 0:53:37.239 the show, Brandon, Thanks for having me, Thanks for being here. 0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:40.560 So I'm here. I'm I'm here in a little echo 0:53:40.600 --> 0:53:41.400 here for some reason. 0:53:42.239 --> 0:53:44.680 So let's talk. First off, explain what you do. 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:47.759 I met you at this Samsung event up in San 0:53:47.760 --> 0:53:51.080 Francisco and we hit it off. We were chatting and 0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:53.360 you know, learned about what you do. But tell me 0:53:53.400 --> 0:53:54.320 what you do exactly. 0:53:54.800 --> 0:53:57.200 Yeah, pretty ironic that we met at a Samsung event. 0:53:57.640 --> 0:54:00.640 I mostly do Apple content, so I've been doing that 0:54:00.680 --> 0:54:02.960 since two thousand and eight on YouTube, and I have 0:54:02.960 --> 0:54:05.000 a newsletter as well called the Apple Den where I 0:54:05.000 --> 0:54:08.120 write about Apple news every week, and that's just been 0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:10.680 my thing for a long time. Covered the iPhones, the software, 0:54:10.920 --> 0:54:13.399 pretty much anything to do with Apple products. 0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:18.000 So Apple big announcement this week obviously the new iPhone 0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:18.959 sixteen E. 0:54:19.480 --> 0:54:20.480 Uh what do you make of that? 0:54:21.520 --> 0:54:23.160 Yeah, So that was kind of a surprise because I 0:54:23.160 --> 0:54:26.279 think everybody went in expecting an SE four you know, 0:54:26.600 --> 0:54:28.840 kind of a continuation of the cheap budget model. So 0:54:28.880 --> 0:54:31.040 when Apple announced the price at five ninety nine, it 0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:32.799 was a little bit more than people are expecting. But 0:54:32.840 --> 0:54:35.280 I think we also got more than people are expecting 0:54:35.320 --> 0:54:36.239 with the sixteen E. 0:54:36.360 --> 0:54:39.000 So it's the first ever, you know, E model from Apple. 0:54:39.040 --> 0:54:41.400 And I personally view this more like an iPhone ten 0:54:41.560 --> 0:54:45.440 R from twenty eighteen compared to like an iPhone SE, 0:54:45.680 --> 0:54:47.920 So I don't really view it as an SE equivalent. 0:54:47.960 --> 0:54:49.400 It kind of is, but I view it more like 0:54:49.440 --> 0:54:51.279 the ten R because it has a lot of the 0:54:51.360 --> 0:54:53.880 you know iPhone fourteen design language with a lot of 0:54:53.880 --> 0:54:58.040 the more modern iPhone sixteen features, like you know, Apple Intelligence, 0:54:58.080 --> 0:55:00.760 which I think is a big deal, the action button, 0:55:00.800 --> 0:55:03.160 the O lead display is a big one because the 0:55:03.200 --> 0:55:05.279 iPhone ten R back in the day, the big you 0:55:05.320 --> 0:55:08.520 know drawback with that was the LCD display. So yeah, 0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:10.480 I think the sixteen E. It's priced at five ninety nine, 0:55:10.520 --> 0:55:13.160 it's two hundred dollars cheaper than the regular sixteen. It 0:55:13.239 --> 0:55:15.319 is missing some of the more advanced features, but I 0:55:15.320 --> 0:55:17.400 think this is targeted to people who just want to 0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:19.560 go into the Apple store. You know, hey, what's the 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:21.880 cheapest iPhone you have? It's going to last me all 0:55:21.960 --> 0:55:24.680 day battery life. When they say five ninety nine, it's 0:55:24.680 --> 0:55:26.840 two hundred dollars cheaper than you know, the sixteen, but 0:55:26.880 --> 0:55:28.960 it still has the sixteen name in it. It's an 0:55:28.960 --> 0:55:29.520 easy sale. 0:55:29.960 --> 0:55:30.920 Yeah, that's that. 0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:33.120 That was my kind of thesis at the top of 0:55:33.160 --> 0:55:35.279 the show is that I think Apple is going to 0:55:35.320 --> 0:55:36.200 sell a ton of these. 0:55:37.200 --> 0:55:37.879 I think so too. 0:55:37.920 --> 0:55:39.319 I mean, if you look back at the iPhone ten 0:55:39.480 --> 0:55:41.840 R that was you know, everybody made fun of the 0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:43.680 iPhone ten R when that phone came out, you know, 0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:44.799 back in the day, and that. 0:55:44.840 --> 0:55:46.720 Sold extremely well for Apple. 0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:48.759 So I kind of view this as going down a 0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:51.040 more similar path to the as the iPhone ten R 0:55:51.360 --> 0:55:54.040 compared to like maybe the previous se models. 0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:56.319 What about this whole modem. I mean, they've got like 0:55:56.320 --> 0:55:58.239 an Apple built modem. I know, it was a big 0:55:58.280 --> 0:56:01.520 deal when Apple shifted away from the Intel chips and 0:56:01.560 --> 0:56:04.200 their computers to their own, and that's just been fantastic. 0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:07.040 Their computers have been so good ever since they did that. 0:56:08.400 --> 0:56:11.040 Is this bad for Qualcom? 0:56:11.200 --> 0:56:13.200 I think it is bad for Qualcom if you're you know, 0:56:13.239 --> 0:56:16.160 maybe an investor, But I think it's great news for 0:56:16.480 --> 0:56:19.640 Apple iPhones, especially moving forward. Maybe it'll show up in 0:56:19.680 --> 0:56:21.799 other things as well, but iPhones especially. I mean, we 0:56:21.880 --> 0:56:24.960 saw the big difference that makes just in battery efficiency 0:56:25.000 --> 0:56:27.520 for the first generation of this C one chip. 0:56:27.560 --> 0:56:28.600 So it's the C one modem. 0:56:28.760 --> 0:56:32.480 That's what it's called inside, and you know, eventually it's 0:56:32.480 --> 0:56:34.160 so it doesn't have millimeter wave, it doesn't have the 0:56:34.200 --> 0:56:37.600 super fast five G speeds just yet. But you know, 0:56:37.640 --> 0:56:40.000 most people, especially buying a base model iPhone, are not 0:56:40.000 --> 0:56:41.600 going to care or even know what that means. 0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:44.560 Oh wait, hold on, so explain that again, because I 0:56:44.640 --> 0:56:47.759 was I've seen that Apple keeps saying this is a 0:56:47.760 --> 0:56:51.320 five G modem. So first off, the phone will support 0:56:51.400 --> 0:56:54.400 four G right, correct, Okay, but it's not going to 0:56:54.480 --> 0:56:58.200 have that ultra wideband so like the like on Verizon. 0:56:58.280 --> 0:57:00.920 Let's say, when you get into those likely fast speeds 0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:04.040 when you get into a UW section or on T Mobile, 0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:06.839 I think they call it like UC so, will it 0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:07.719 not support those? 0:57:08.480 --> 0:57:12.160 Correct, Yes, it will not support those. That's called millimeter wave, 0:57:12.200 --> 0:57:15.400 and that's you know, one of Qualcomm's main benefits. So 0:57:15.440 --> 0:57:18.680 that's gonna mostly be and like you're really populated cities 0:57:18.720 --> 0:57:21.280 New York, California, like in the city, if you're in 0:57:21.320 --> 0:57:23.520 a more rural area, it's not gonna you probably never 0:57:23.520 --> 0:57:25.800 have seen that before on your phone. 0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:28.960 So oh when I see that, Brandon, I'm like, I'm 0:57:28.960 --> 0:57:31.240 literally like downloading all of Netflix. When I see that, 0:57:31.320 --> 0:57:33.520 I'm like, all right, baby, let's down. Let's do whatever 0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:36.640 we can to take advantage of this speed because some 0:57:36.960 --> 0:57:40.360 I mean I I think I've gotten like really really fast, 0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:43.800 like faster than home on some of those. Okay, so 0:57:43.920 --> 0:57:46.560 the sixteeny anything else that you think is notable that 0:57:46.600 --> 0:57:48.040 we should talk about with this device. 0:57:48.640 --> 0:57:50.560 Yeah, I think one of the main things that I 0:57:51.000 --> 0:57:52.640 you know, quickly picked up on and a lot of 0:57:52.640 --> 0:57:54.680 people have mentioned this as well, is that there's no 0:57:54.760 --> 0:57:57.280 mag Safe support, so the magnets in the back. You know, 0:57:57.320 --> 0:57:59.080 a lot of people have the mag Safe wallets that 0:57:59.080 --> 0:58:01.240 they just stick on to the back their phone. That's 0:58:01.280 --> 0:58:04.440 not in the iPhone sixteen E. So that's a big 0:58:04.520 --> 0:58:07.880 drawback for a lot of people. Also for the wireless charging, 0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:10.600 you can wirelessly charge the sixteen e, but it does 0:58:10.640 --> 0:58:13.760 not support mag Safe, which enables faster wireless charging. So 0:58:13.960 --> 0:58:15.120 that's not the big deal. I think a lot of 0:58:15.120 --> 0:58:16.919 people are kind of upset that they can't use maybe 0:58:16.920 --> 0:58:20.160 their accessories that they had. However, you can buy cases 0:58:20.360 --> 0:58:22.479 with magnets in it, so it's not a complete lost 0:58:22.560 --> 0:58:24.640 cause it's just not in the phone itself. 0:58:24.880 --> 0:58:25.120 Right. 0:58:25.160 --> 0:58:27.560 And the other thing is the face ID. You know, 0:58:27.640 --> 0:58:31.000 of course on my Facebook page, you know where rumored 0:58:31.000 --> 0:58:34.960 speculation runs rampant. People commented, oh we face ID is 0:58:35.280 --> 0:58:38.440 you know your face biometrics are instantly sent to the cloud. 0:58:38.760 --> 0:58:40.760 Now I know that not to be true because it's 0:58:40.760 --> 0:58:43.800 stored on device, but just can you go over fact, 0:58:44.040 --> 0:58:47.040 like what the difference is between face ID and the 0:58:47.080 --> 0:58:48.880 touch ID is it as secure. 0:58:50.040 --> 0:58:53.560 Yeah, I think it's more secure because touch ID, you know, 0:58:53.720 --> 0:58:56.200 you can take somebody's finger. If somebody were to do 0:58:56.240 --> 0:58:58.800 something crazy and you know, have your finger without you knowing, 0:58:59.000 --> 0:59:02.360 they can unlock your phone, whereas face ID there's a 0:59:02.400 --> 0:59:04.520 setting where you have to be actually have your eyes 0:59:04.560 --> 0:59:06.960 open and looking at the camera, So if you were 0:59:07.240 --> 0:59:09.120 knocked out or something and somebody couldn't just put the 0:59:09.120 --> 0:59:11.080 phone up to your face and unlock it. So I 0:59:11.080 --> 0:59:13.640 think face ID is a lot more secure than touch ID. 0:59:14.440 --> 0:59:16.360 So the other headline that of course a lot of 0:59:16.400 --> 0:59:20.440 people are sharing online is this whole cloud encryption change 0:59:20.480 --> 0:59:23.720 in the UK. Right, so Apple has this setting where 0:59:23.760 --> 0:59:26.560 they can you can super encrypt anything that you send 0:59:26.640 --> 0:59:29.520 to the cloud that nobody can tap into and out. 0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:32.040 Now they're getting rid of that in the UK, not 0:59:32.200 --> 0:59:34.720 in the US, just in the UK. Does that mean 0:59:34.760 --> 0:59:37.040 that Apple's looking at your stuff and the government's looking 0:59:37.080 --> 0:59:37.560 at your stuff? 0:59:37.560 --> 0:59:39.160 And how big of a deal do you think that is? 0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:43.040 Yeah, So just a little backstory here real quick. So, 0:59:43.040 --> 0:59:46.040 so the UK government basically demanded Apple to create a 0:59:46.040 --> 0:59:49.840 backdoor to allow the government to in view to view 0:59:49.880 --> 0:59:52.720 that encrypted user data globally. So they were trying to 0:59:52.760 --> 0:59:55.520 pitch a back door that would allow the government to 0:59:55.600 --> 0:59:58.560 view everybody's data, including those in the US. So Apple 0:59:58.600 --> 1:00:01.800 of course denied creating that backdoor, and instead they just 1:00:01.800 --> 1:00:04.840 decided to pool the end to end encryption for iCloud 1:00:04.880 --> 1:00:07.600 storage in the UK, which is called Advanced Data Protection. 1:00:08.560 --> 1:00:11.800 So basically, now British user files like the iCloud backup 1:00:12.320 --> 1:00:15.760 files will be accessible to Apple, so they'll be able 1:00:15.800 --> 1:00:17.840 to be shared with law enforcement if they have a warrant, 1:00:18.120 --> 1:00:20.160 things like that. Now, I do not see this happening 1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:22.840 in the US whatsoever. The UK has been you know, 1:00:22.880 --> 1:00:26.080 pushing back against end end encryption for years now for 1:00:26.080 --> 1:00:28.240 some reason, so this is kind of bound to happen 1:00:28.280 --> 1:00:28.840 at some point. 1:00:29.760 --> 1:00:32.439 But yeah, I don't see this happening in the US 1:00:32.520 --> 1:00:32.800 at all. 1:00:32.880 --> 1:00:35.080 How long before Apple just says, you know what, UK, 1:00:35.360 --> 1:00:37.080 We're now longer going to do business here. I mean, 1:00:37.360 --> 1:00:40.680 they're changing every aspect of how Apple wants to do 1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:43.840 business when it comes to privacy and security by opening 1:00:43.920 --> 1:00:45.960 up the phone. You know, they made them change to USBC, 1:00:46.120 --> 1:00:48.960 which I do like. But still, you know, they opened 1:00:49.040 --> 1:00:50.920 up the app store, the payment method is like all 1:00:50.960 --> 1:00:53.360 this stuff that's just like a thorn and apple side. 1:00:53.640 --> 1:00:56.480 How much more can they deal with before they just say, 1:00:56.560 --> 1:00:58.960 you know what, Europeans, you can't have the iPhone. 1:01:00.200 --> 1:01:02.360 Yeah, you know, it's such a big market for them 1:01:02.360 --> 1:01:05.200 that I don't see that happening. I think they'll continue to, like, 1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:07.840 you know, maybe remove features and things like this to 1:01:07.920 --> 1:01:11.040 kind of, you know, find a middle ground. But the 1:01:11.080 --> 1:01:13.200 thing is a lot of these EU changes where a 1:01:13.200 --> 1:01:15.000 lot of people are against it at first, but now 1:01:15.040 --> 1:01:17.560 fast forward years later, most people are kind of happy, 1:01:17.680 --> 1:01:19.680 you know that they kind of forced Apples hand and 1:01:19.800 --> 1:01:22.640 doing things like USBC and some of the other ones. 1:01:22.640 --> 1:01:24.480 This is the first one that I think, just globally 1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:27.600 is just like a bad idea for them, like to 1:01:27.680 --> 1:01:28.760 even pitch in the first place. 1:01:29.440 --> 1:01:32.000 Okay, we've got about a minute left, so I'm going 1:01:32.040 --> 1:01:33.520 to leave it to you. Is there any other I 1:01:33.800 --> 1:01:35.439 sent you a whole bunch of topics that I wanted 1:01:35.440 --> 1:01:37.360 to touch upon. Is there anything else that you want 1:01:37.400 --> 1:01:39.919 to touch upon that you know we haven't yet? 1:01:41.480 --> 1:01:43.960 Yeah, I mean Vision US two point four. I know 1:01:44.080 --> 1:01:46.320 there's probably twelve people out there with an Apple Vision 1:01:46.320 --> 1:01:48.360 pro right now, but you know, Vision of US two 1:01:48.400 --> 1:01:50.360 point four is a massive software update that's going to 1:01:50.360 --> 1:01:52.560 bring a lot of big features to the Vision Pro, 1:01:52.840 --> 1:01:56.480 things like Apple Intelligence supports a companion app for the iPhone, 1:01:56.560 --> 1:01:58.680 kind of like with the Apple Watch. So you're gonna 1:01:58.680 --> 1:02:00.560 have an app on your phone where you can have 1:02:00.600 --> 1:02:02.560 an improved guest mode. You can kind of see what 1:02:02.600 --> 1:02:04.400 the person is seeing in the Vision Pro from your 1:02:04.400 --> 1:02:07.720 iPhone via airplay, which is really cool. So I just 1:02:07.760 --> 1:02:10.200 think it's gonna Apple's gonna continue working on the Vision 1:02:10.200 --> 1:02:13.840 Pro despite the you know, not very many sales of that, 1:02:13.840 --> 1:02:15.280 They're still continuing to build it out. 1:02:15.440 --> 1:02:17.200 You have to be something great, will there be? 1:02:17.600 --> 1:02:19.680 I mean, is there a future for the Vision Pro. 1:02:20.840 --> 1:02:23.120 I think there is. I think we're still ways away. 1:02:23.320 --> 1:02:26.880 I think the weights and obviously just the infrastructure, it's 1:02:26.880 --> 1:02:29.400 still in its infancy. We're only on the second version. Ever, 1:02:29.520 --> 1:02:31.400 It's like going back to iPhone when it was iPhone 1:02:31.400 --> 1:02:34.720 OS two. We're now on eighteen, you know, sixteen years later, 1:02:35.120 --> 1:02:37.400 so I kind of see it following a similar path 1:02:37.400 --> 1:02:38.760 where it's going to take quite some time. 1:02:39.080 --> 1:02:41.960 All Right, Brandon Butch, thanks for joining me today. 1:02:42.320 --> 1:02:44.280 Thank you appreciate it, all right, follow him. 1:02:44.160 --> 1:02:47.840 The Appleden dot com, The Appleden dot com.

Appreciate 1:02:55.880 --> 1:02:58.040 you being on the show today. Link on my website. 1:02:58.120 --> 1:03:00.880 Rich on tech dot TV. Coming up, we'll take more 1:03:00.880 --> 1:03:03.439 of your calls at Triple eight rich one oh one 1:03:03.920 --> 1:03:06.720 eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one, 1:03:06.800 --> 1:03:09.720 and I'm going to tell you the app you have 1:03:09.800 --> 1:03:12.520 to get on your phone if you want your pictures 1:03:12.520 --> 1:03:15.000 to look their best, especially if you post them to 1:03:15.040 --> 1:03:21.400 social media. This is rich on Tech. Did a segment 1:03:21.480 --> 1:03:24.640 this week. You know, I'm also on TV on KTLA 1:03:25.080 --> 1:03:27.680 five in Los Angeles, so I do TV segments, so 1:03:27.720 --> 1:03:30.640 you can watch those on YouTube, also on my website. 1:03:31.000 --> 1:03:33.000 But this week I talked to Jefferson Graham. He's a 1:03:33.000 --> 1:03:35.160 friend of the show. He's been on a bunch. He 1:03:35.200 --> 1:03:37.960 was a tech journalist at USA Today for many years now. 1:03:37.960 --> 1:03:41.960 He has a show called Photo Walks TV, and he 1:03:42.160 --> 1:03:45.160 shared some of his top photography tips and number one 1:03:45.880 --> 1:03:48.640 start out. I know these sounds simple, but you'd be surprised. 1:03:49.320 --> 1:03:52.440 Charge your phone, clear out your storage. Two things I 1:03:52.480 --> 1:03:55.840 know seems like a given, but I've seen I've been 1:03:55.880 --> 1:03:58.280 at the plays and the recitals for my kids, the 1:03:58.320 --> 1:04:01.000 holiday shows, and I've watched the phone's in front of 1:04:01.000 --> 1:04:03.000 me with that dreaded screen that says boop, you're out 1:04:03.000 --> 1:04:06.120 of storage, and people are sitting there scrambling to delete 1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:07.520 things out of your phone. And by the way, if 1:04:07.520 --> 1:04:09.640 that happens to you, the easiest thing to delete a 1:04:09.640 --> 1:04:11.040 couple of large videos. 1:04:11.760 --> 1:04:14.560 He also says, clean your lens. This is a big one. 1:04:14.680 --> 1:04:16.600 You have no idea how many people say, hey, rich 1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:18.160 or they just come up to me, hey, can you 1:04:18.160 --> 1:04:20.160 take a picture? You know, you're at a restaurant or something, 1:04:20.680 --> 1:04:22.440 and you know, you go to take a picture with 1:04:22.480 --> 1:04:24.720 their phone, and it's like the smudgiest, looks like there's 1:04:24.800 --> 1:04:27.240 vasoline on the lens. So the first thing you gotta 1:04:27.280 --> 1:04:30.000 do is clean your lens. 1:04:31.160 --> 1:04:32.480 He also likes the iPhone. 1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:35.760 After you know, trying shooting with the iPhone Samsung Pixel, 1:04:35.800 --> 1:04:39.280 he actually prefers the iPhone for its natural colors. And 1:04:39.280 --> 1:04:40.840 then he mentioned a couple of apps that he likes. 1:04:40.880 --> 1:04:43.320 Number one, Adobe light Room Mobile. I said, well, doesn't 1:04:43.320 --> 1:04:45.280 that have a subscription. No, you can use a lot 1:04:45.320 --> 1:04:48.440 of the features without subscribing, So I downloaded that Adobe 1:04:48.520 --> 1:04:52.560 light Room mobile. He likes this de haze tool, so 1:04:53.160 --> 1:04:55.760 it makes the skies look better. So you take a 1:04:55.800 --> 1:04:57.920 sky and it just you kind of use that the 1:04:58.040 --> 1:05:01.040 haze tool and it just kind of brings out the sky, 1:05:01.360 --> 1:05:03.840 makes it look a lot better. He also likes the 1:05:03.880 --> 1:05:07.680 black Magic Camera app for taking time lapses. He says 1:05:07.680 --> 1:05:10.920 that the iPhone sort of doesn't let you change any 1:05:10.960 --> 1:05:12.919 of the settings with time lapses. I think he says, 1:05:12.920 --> 1:05:15.720 they'd limit them to it like thirty seconds. But if 1:05:15.720 --> 1:05:17.760 you get one of these apps, a third party app 1:05:17.800 --> 1:05:19.160 like black Magic, you can. 1:05:19.240 --> 1:05:20.920 Do whatever you want with your time lapses. 1:05:21.280 --> 1:05:23.800 And then he likes the Halid app, which has an 1:05:23.840 --> 1:05:27.560 anti AI mode, So if you want to take a 1:05:27.560 --> 1:05:30.760 photo without any AI, Halid will let you do it. 1:05:30.760 --> 1:05:34.600 There's also another one called Zerocam, which I think you 1:05:34.600 --> 1:05:36.400 have to pay ten dollars. I think I paid for that, 1:05:36.840 --> 1:05:39.920 but you have to It takes pictures without any AI. 1:05:40.440 --> 1:05:42.880 So that's called zero Cam. He didn't mention that. I'm 1:05:42.880 --> 1:05:46.240 mentioning that. But the app that if you download one 1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:50.080 thing that I'm talking about, it's called Radiant Photo. Our 1:05:50.240 --> 1:05:55.480 adat Radiant Photo. Again, all these apps are like freemium. 1:05:55.600 --> 1:05:57.320 You download them. They want you to pay, but you 1:05:57.320 --> 1:05:58.680 don't really have to. You can get a lot of 1:05:58.680 --> 1:06:02.360 the functionality. But this Radiant Photo I'm not kidding. I'm 1:06:02.680 --> 1:06:04.640 hesitant to even share it because I feel like it's 1:06:04.640 --> 1:06:09.960 my secret weapon. It literally perfects your photo with not 1:06:10.040 --> 1:06:11.480 even a tap. You know, all you have to do 1:06:11.560 --> 1:06:13.040 is put the photo into it and it will just 1:06:13.120 --> 1:06:16.600 automatically look at the scene, sense what you're trying to show, 1:06:16.720 --> 1:06:20.200 and it will just perfect it. Like if it's someone's face, 1:06:20.280 --> 1:06:22.520 if it's a portrait photo, if it's a landscape, it 1:06:22.640 --> 1:06:25.960 just somehow does a really nice job of identifying what 1:06:26.080 --> 1:06:29.480 that picture is and making it better. So Radiant Photo 1:06:29.760 --> 1:06:32.600 iOS Android. Yes, they may try to get you to 1:06:32.640 --> 1:06:35.120 subscribe or pay, but you don't have to. I've been 1:06:35.200 --> 1:06:38.880 using it for six months, no payment, and it's worked 1:06:38.880 --> 1:06:41.120 every time. I basically any picture that I upload to 1:06:41.160 --> 1:06:43.480 social media, I'll just put in there and just kind 1:06:43.480 --> 1:06:45.320 of one tap and it's perfect. 1:06:45.840 --> 1:06:49.160 Let's go to Randy. Randy, you're on with Rich. 1:06:50.160 --> 1:06:51.720 Hi Rich, I enjoy your show. 1:06:52.000 --> 1:06:53.960 Oh, thank you well, I enjoy doing it. 1:06:57.080 --> 1:07:00.200 I'm not super tech savvy, but I wanted to ask 1:07:00.320 --> 1:07:03.040 your opinion, if you could just keep it as basic 1:07:03.240 --> 1:07:08.040 language as possible. I have an iPhone eleven and I 1:07:08.120 --> 1:07:11.680 deleted a video about a year ago, and I regret 1:07:11.720 --> 1:07:15.800 doing that. And I've struggled and agonized over finding apps 1:07:15.840 --> 1:07:19.360 that will recover deleted and lost photos and videos, and 1:07:19.400 --> 1:07:22.560 I'm just totally dumbfounded by them. I did look in 1:07:22.640 --> 1:07:28.040 my iPhone backup. It's gone. There is there any specific 1:07:28.440 --> 1:07:32.760 app that you would recommend that would do the job, 1:07:33.000 --> 1:07:35.040 or is it permanently gone? 1:07:35.720 --> 1:07:38.160 A video on the iPhone that you deleted a year ago, 1:07:38.640 --> 1:07:41.880 it is gone. So I hate to say that, but 1:07:42.000 --> 1:07:44.320 there are there's not an app that can bring it 1:07:44.360 --> 1:07:46.080 back on the iPhone, let's put it that way. But 1:07:46.280 --> 1:07:49.120 are there some avenues that you can explore? So Number one, 1:07:49.720 --> 1:07:51.720 did you have this backed up in any way, shape 1:07:51.760 --> 1:07:52.680 or form to any app? 1:07:54.080 --> 1:07:56.919 No other than the iCloud. I'm not even sure if. 1:07:56.800 --> 1:07:59.880 It was, well, it wasn't back it was not, okay search. 1:08:00.360 --> 1:08:02.800 What about a backup of your phone? Did you ever 1:08:02.840 --> 1:08:03.960 have a backup of your phone? 1:08:04.800 --> 1:08:05.520 No? 1:08:05.520 --> 1:08:07.200 No, okay. 1:08:07.280 --> 1:08:10.200 So with those two things, so there's a couple of 1:08:10.240 --> 1:08:13.080 ways that you know a photo could be still around. 1:08:13.200 --> 1:08:15.400 Number one, when you delete a picture on your iPhone, 1:08:15.440 --> 1:08:20.679 it does linger for about thirty days in a special folder. 1:08:21.120 --> 1:08:24.719 And I'm sure you've checked this, but it's called recently deleted. 1:08:24.760 --> 1:08:25.639 Have you seen that one? 1:08:26.120 --> 1:08:26.439 Yes? 1:08:26.560 --> 1:08:30.160 Yes, okay, So with the latest iOS, they did add 1:08:30.680 --> 1:08:33.240 a feature where you have to authorize your phone before 1:08:33.240 --> 1:08:35.280 you can look at it. But on my phone, it's 1:08:35.280 --> 1:08:37.960 showing me, yeah, twenty nine days until it deletes the 1:08:38.040 --> 1:08:39.880 last photo, and it gives you a little countdown for 1:08:39.920 --> 1:08:40.439 each picture. 1:08:40.479 --> 1:08:41.840 So that's the first place to look. 1:08:42.160 --> 1:08:44.720 And Randy, even though you may not be able to 1:08:44.720 --> 1:08:46.519 get this back sadly, I am just going to go 1:08:46.560 --> 1:08:49.880 through these these suggestions so that if someone is dealing 1:08:49.880 --> 1:08:52.160 with something similar, maybe they deleted a photo by accident, 1:08:52.160 --> 1:08:56.080 these are the places they could potentially look. So that's 1:08:56.160 --> 1:08:59.320 number one, the recently deleted, and both iPhone and Android 1:08:59.360 --> 1:09:01.960 have a version of that, So that's the first place 1:09:02.000 --> 1:09:05.160 to check. The second place is an online backup. So 1:09:05.720 --> 1:09:07.880 I always recommend that you back up your photos. I 1:09:08.000 --> 1:09:10.920 understand for privacy concerns or other reasons, you may not 1:09:11.000 --> 1:09:14.640 want to do that, but I always recommend doing that. 1:09:14.640 --> 1:09:17.480 That could be through iCloud, that could be through Google Photos, 1:09:17.600 --> 1:09:20.720 that could be through one drive, it could be through iedrive. 1:09:20.760 --> 1:09:23.280 I mean, there's so many different ways of backing up. 1:09:23.479 --> 1:09:26.719 If you're an Amazon Photo, if you're an Amazon Prime member, 1:09:27.320 --> 1:09:32.080 they offer free unlimited photo backup at full resolution for 1:09:32.160 --> 1:09:34.519 their Prime members. Now as long as you're paying for Prime, 1:09:34.600 --> 1:09:36.960 right even if you stop paying, they'll give you a. 1:09:36.920 --> 1:09:38.200 Certain amount of time to download it. 1:09:38.240 --> 1:09:41.559 So those are little avenues to backup photos if you 1:09:41.560 --> 1:09:44.400 don't want to pay a lot. The other place to 1:09:44.439 --> 1:09:47.519 look is a full phone backup. So when you back 1:09:47.600 --> 1:09:51.559 up your phone, it you know, if you have an iPhone, 1:09:51.600 --> 1:09:55.200 it's backing up to iCloud like the entire phone. Even 1:09:55.240 --> 1:09:58.519 if you have iCloud photos turned off, it's still backing 1:09:58.600 --> 1:10:01.160 up a copy of your entire phone to the cloud. 1:10:01.520 --> 1:10:03.680 So you may be able to go in there use 1:10:03.720 --> 1:10:04.519 a program like I. 1:10:04.520 --> 1:10:08.840 Amazing to extract that photo out of that backup, or 1:10:08.880 --> 1:10:11.240 you can restore that backup to another iPhone or your 1:10:11.439 --> 1:10:14.559 or your current iPhone and get that photo back. The 1:10:14.600 --> 1:10:17.280 other place to look, of course is iCloud. And if 1:10:17.360 --> 1:10:19.160 you're wondering like okay, this is on my phone? 1:10:19.240 --> 1:10:19.920 Is it not on my phone? 1:10:19.920 --> 1:10:22.479 You can always go to iCloud dot com and check 1:10:22.520 --> 1:10:23.800 to see if the picture is there. 1:10:24.400 --> 1:10:25.799 But those are the avenues, Randy. 1:10:25.880 --> 1:10:28.880 There is not a way to find that video that 1:10:29.000 --> 1:10:32.960 I know of, unless someone emails me something different that's 1:10:32.960 --> 1:10:35.680 been deleted a year ago. Because after a year, you know, 1:10:35.760 --> 1:10:39.040 no matter what, that thing is pretty much gone. The 1:10:39.080 --> 1:10:42.400 only thing I can think of is if it's something 1:10:42.439 --> 1:10:44.519 important in the future, you can upload it to YouTube 1:10:44.560 --> 1:10:48.880 as a private video for free. Dropbox gives you two 1:10:48.880 --> 1:10:51.920 gigs of storage. I believe for free. Most of the 1:10:51.960 --> 1:10:54.280 main service providers will give you a couple of gigs 1:10:54.280 --> 1:10:57.400 of storage completely free. I'm sorry this happened to you. 1:10:57.439 --> 1:11:00.240 Please back up your photos or put something that you 1:11:00.280 --> 1:11:02.760 need to keep in a safe place.

I subscribe 1:12:04.200 --> 1:12:07.439 to like ten thousand different services, and it's when you 1:12:07.479 --> 1:12:09.439 sit down to actually watch something, you're like, now, what 1:12:09.560 --> 1:12:13.240 to watch, and you're jumping through every single app trying 1:12:13.240 --> 1:12:14.080 to see what's new. 1:12:14.200 --> 1:12:15.120 It's a whole thing. 1:12:15.920 --> 1:12:18.639 And so I've tried all the different apps to kind 1:12:18.640 --> 1:12:21.559 of keep track of the different shows, and they're all 1:12:21.600 --> 1:12:22.639 good in different reasons. 1:12:22.680 --> 1:12:23.439 You know, you've got like. 1:12:23.479 --> 1:12:26.960 Real good, ore eel good, You've got just watched Those 1:12:27.000 --> 1:12:30.800 are probably two of the most popular. Then there's Letterboxed, 1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:34.400 which is just for movies, and then you've got Google 1:12:34.439 --> 1:12:37.479 TV and then Apple TV, those two apps that can 1:12:37.520 --> 1:12:40.080 also keep a watch list. Now, I'll tell you why 1:12:40.160 --> 1:12:42.920 I've kind of come to love the Google TV watch list. 1:12:43.320 --> 1:12:47.680 It's because I don't know, I think it's like the best. Now, Basically, 1:12:47.720 --> 1:12:49.839 if you download the app, which is available for iPhone 1:12:49.960 --> 1:12:53.320 or Android, anytime you are on Google, you just search 1:12:53.439 --> 1:12:57.960 for a movie, right, so let's search for Paddington, the 1:12:58.040 --> 1:13:00.640 new one, Paddington in Peru. So if you search for 1:13:00.640 --> 1:13:03.600 a movie, you might have noticed it says want to 1:13:03.680 --> 1:13:06.479 watch or already watched. So that's how you add things 1:13:06.479 --> 1:13:08.799 to your list. You just say want to watch and boom, 1:13:08.840 --> 1:13:10.880 it will add it to this app. You can also 1:13:10.920 --> 1:13:12.920 do it inside the app, but once you have it, 1:13:12.960 --> 1:13:14.519 now you have your watch list. So I've got all 1:13:14.560 --> 1:13:16.280 these movies on my watch list, and what I like 1:13:16.320 --> 1:13:19.000 about it. You've got a couple toggles. You've got movies 1:13:19.320 --> 1:13:20.120 and then shows. 1:13:20.200 --> 1:13:21.040 You can just. 1:13:21.160 --> 1:13:21.960 Sort that way. 1:13:22.520 --> 1:13:25.320 But then you also have free so you tap that 1:13:25.479 --> 1:13:27.920 and it will tell you the stuff that's streaming for 1:13:27.960 --> 1:13:31.160 free on your services that you subscribe to. So you 1:13:31.200 --> 1:13:32.880 go into the settings of the app and you say, yeah, 1:13:32.920 --> 1:13:35.760 I've got Amazon Prime, I've got Hulu, I've got you 1:13:35.800 --> 1:13:39.880 know whatever, Disney Plus, and it will show you just 1:13:39.960 --> 1:13:42.840 the movies on your watch list that are streaming quote 1:13:42.880 --> 1:13:45.320 unquote free. Now, it's funny that they use the word 1:13:45.360 --> 1:13:47.920 free because it's not free technically, but that's what I 1:13:47.920 --> 1:13:50.120 always say, like, oh, we got a free movie tonight, 1:13:50.240 --> 1:13:52.000 because I'm paying for Prime Video. 1:13:52.439 --> 1:13:54.400 We just watch something that's free. 1:13:54.640 --> 1:13:57.800 Now, I would say the preferred way of describing it 1:13:57.880 --> 1:14:01.400 is streaming included in your services, right, but they use 1:14:01.439 --> 1:14:04.040 the toggle free, which I think is smart. So anyway, 1:14:04.320 --> 1:14:05.760 the other thing I like about it is you can 1:14:05.800 --> 1:14:08.240 see immediately when you look at the video or you 1:14:08.240 --> 1:14:10.439 look at your watch list, it says where it's streaming 1:14:11.000 --> 1:14:12.880 right underneath it. And then it also gives you the 1:14:12.920 --> 1:14:16.000 Rotten Tomatoes rating. I know that's become like the gold 1:14:16.080 --> 1:14:19.200 standard for everything. So if you go into the movie, 1:14:19.240 --> 1:14:21.960 you can get more information. You got your watch list. 1:14:22.000 --> 1:14:23.920 You can like it, you can dislike it. It's got all 1:14:24.000 --> 1:14:27.680 the different ratings. You've got common Sense media, you've got IMDb, 1:14:27.840 --> 1:14:31.120 Rotten Tomatoes, metacritics. You can kind of cross reference, depending 1:14:31.200 --> 1:14:33.599 on you know, is it important what the common Sense 1:14:33.680 --> 1:14:36.360 rating is versus IMDb whatever you like, it's on there, 1:14:36.880 --> 1:14:39.400 and it also has related movies. It's got stories about 1:14:39.400 --> 1:14:41.479 the movie, and of course it tells you where you 1:14:41.520 --> 1:14:43.599 can watch it, so some of these things you can 1:14:43.600 --> 1:14:45.800 watch on different services. It'll tell you all the different 1:14:45.840 --> 1:14:48.880 services that it's on. So I think it's like one 1:14:48.920 --> 1:14:51.360 of the best apps out there. Whether you're on Android 1:14:51.479 --> 1:14:54.400 or iPhone, it works equally well. If you happen to 1:14:54.439 --> 1:14:58.719 have a TV with Google TV software, it integrates really nicely, 1:14:59.240 --> 1:15:01.519 just like Apple TV. He does on Apple TV. But 1:15:01.600 --> 1:15:03.400 the problem with the Apple TV app if you use 1:15:03.439 --> 1:15:05.640 that as your watch list. A it's proprietary, which you 1:15:05.680 --> 1:15:09.280 know I don't like. But b nothing on Netflix is included. 1:15:09.640 --> 1:15:12.519 So if there's like a Netflix show, it's not gonna 1:15:12.520 --> 1:15:14.559 you're not gonna be able to watch list it on 1:15:15.120 --> 1:15:18.559 your Apple TV app. Let's see if Netflix is on here. 1:15:18.560 --> 1:15:20.479 Hold on, let me just make sure before I say this. 1:15:21.160 --> 1:15:24.240 Uh yeah it is. Netflix is included on here as well. 1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:27.120 So although it's interesting, it says that title is not 1:15:27.160 --> 1:15:29.720 currently available, so you can watch list it, but. 1:15:29.720 --> 1:15:33.000 It may not interesting. Tell yeah, I don't know. 1:15:33.080 --> 1:15:35.479 Maybe it does work with Netflix in like a weird way, 1:15:35.520 --> 1:15:37.439 but it's on there anyway, if you're looking for a 1:15:37.439 --> 1:15:39.320 way to keep track of all your streaming stuff, Google 1:15:39.360 --> 1:15:42.200 TV app, download it iOS Android. I'm finding it very, 1:15:42.320 --> 1:15:46.680 very handy, and the only thing I don't like is 1:15:46.680 --> 1:15:49.320 that you can't sort your list in any way, shape 1:15:49.400 --> 1:15:52.040 or form. So the other one's like real good and 1:15:52.320 --> 1:15:55.759 just watch. Lets you sort your list by rating time, 1:15:56.400 --> 1:16:00.000 you know, genre title. You can't do any of that here. 1:15:59.840 --> 1:16:03.080 There's no sorting on this list except for movies, shows, 1:16:03.120 --> 1:16:05.639 and free. That's it. So it's all limited in that way. 1:16:06.280 --> 1:16:08.800 Let's go to Mark and Wineka Mark, you're on with Rich. 1:16:09.000 --> 1:16:10.760 Yeah, I'd like to preface by saying I'm bit of 1:16:10.800 --> 1:16:13.280 a browser freak. I have five of them permanently on 1:16:13.320 --> 1:16:17.800 my task bar here. I've noticed over the last year 1:16:17.920 --> 1:16:22.880 plus that a lot of the financial companies airlines, banks, etc. 1:16:23.200 --> 1:16:25.240 Are pushing us into the Chrome. 1:16:24.960 --> 1:16:26.400 Browser over others. 1:16:26.720 --> 1:16:30.920 I love the slim browser and the Firefox is my favorite. 1:16:31.160 --> 1:16:35.080 The so customizable Brave is a good one as well. 1:16:35.560 --> 1:16:38.880 But do you have any thoughts on that, Rich, It 1:16:38.960 --> 1:16:41.880 seems like there's a concerted effort to push us into 1:16:41.960 --> 1:16:43.439 the Chrome browser, sir. 1:16:44.000 --> 1:16:49.400 Yeah, So I think this comes down to it comes 1:16:49.439 --> 1:16:54.360 down to market share. So let's see, let's see web browser. 1:16:55.120 --> 1:16:58.920 Let's just see if we can market share twenty twenty four. 1:16:59.040 --> 1:17:00.720 So let's just see what the mark shares of the 1:17:00.800 --> 1:17:04.080 various web browsers. So with anything else, it comes down to, 1:17:04.320 --> 1:17:07.800 you know, these companies have to maintain a certain level 1:17:07.920 --> 1:17:12.720 of privacy, security updates that work with various browsers. And 1:17:12.840 --> 1:17:16.839 so if we look at desktop, Chrome is sixty six percent, 1:17:17.600 --> 1:17:20.880 followed by Edge at twelve percent, followed by Safari at 1:17:20.960 --> 1:17:28.799 nine percent. Yeah, so when you look at that, Opera 1:17:28.880 --> 1:17:35.479 and Firefox have two percent and three percent worldwide, that's 1:17:35.920 --> 1:17:40.000 pretty small. So if you are a bank, your Chase Bank, 1:17:40.200 --> 1:17:46.240 you are American Express, you are email companies, whatever, what 1:17:46.240 --> 1:17:50.000 are you optimizing for? You are optimizing for the market leader. 1:17:50.080 --> 1:17:52.759 And I think that's why we're seeing this emphasis on Chrome, 1:17:53.200 --> 1:17:56.760 because it is it commands such a lead. 1:17:56.880 --> 1:17:58.760 So I'm not saying that Firefox is bad. 1:17:58.800 --> 1:18:02.519 I think that Firefox and many ways is interesting because 1:18:03.080 --> 1:18:06.000 they've been promoting more of a fair and open web 1:18:06.320 --> 1:18:07.280 and more privacy. 1:18:08.080 --> 1:18:09.800 And you know, this is a company that. 1:18:10.160 --> 1:18:12.120 I think, from what I'm reading on the history, this 1:18:12.400 --> 1:18:15.280 was born out of Netscape. So It's got deep roots 1:18:15.280 --> 1:18:18.200 in the web community. But it reminds me of the 1:18:18.280 --> 1:18:23.040 days of Internet Explorer, when that was king of the Internet, 1:18:23.560 --> 1:18:26.840 and you would go to a website and it would say, sorry, 1:18:26.840 --> 1:18:30.559 this website is optimized for Internet Explorer, and you'd be like, really, 1:18:30.600 --> 1:18:32.679 I'm using you know, this was when Chrome first started. 1:18:33.000 --> 1:18:35.000 You'd be like, wait, really, come on, I'm using Chrome. 1:18:35.040 --> 1:18:37.880 And so you didn't get certain functionality because of that, 1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:40.920 And we see this on mobile. If you look at 1:18:41.000 --> 1:18:45.160 mobile now, this is interesting. It says for mobile devices, 1:18:45.240 --> 1:18:48.679 Chrome leads with sixty eight percent, Safari follows at twenty 1:18:48.760 --> 1:18:52.080 three percent. Now, I'll be honest, the only reason Safari 1:18:52.160 --> 1:18:55.519 has any percentage like that is because the iPhone is 1:18:55.520 --> 1:18:59.040 so popular and Safari for many many years was the 1:18:59.040 --> 1:19:02.200 only default you could have on the iPhone, so people 1:19:02.280 --> 1:19:04.120 just use that because of it. Now you can set 1:19:04.200 --> 1:19:06.800 Chrome as a default. But also Android has such a 1:19:06.880 --> 1:19:11.080 large market share worldwide that that makes sense why Chrome 1:19:11.200 --> 1:19:15.800 is is almost seventy percent of the mobile share. But again, Mark, 1:19:15.920 --> 1:19:19.479 it really comes down to the fact that companies want 1:19:19.520 --> 1:19:23.679 to make life easy for themselves, and if seventy percent 1:19:23.680 --> 1:19:26.920 of people are using Chrome, then they're going to optimize 1:19:26.960 --> 1:19:31.040 their websites and security features for Chrome. And you know, 1:19:31.040 --> 1:19:33.720 I've come up against this in certain websites where it's like, 1:19:34.080 --> 1:19:35.840 you know, you should switch to this or use that, 1:19:36.280 --> 1:19:38.520 or if you even look at let's just look at 1:19:38.880 --> 1:19:43.920 if you go to like Chase Bank recommended browser, you 1:19:43.960 --> 1:19:46.640 know it'll say, here's what we recommend system requirements. 1:19:46.720 --> 1:19:49.200 Right, so they've got for. 1:19:49.200 --> 1:19:51.479 The best experience on Chase dot com and enhance your 1:19:51.520 --> 1:19:53.839 security against fraud. Be sure your web browser and operating 1:19:53.840 --> 1:19:57.880 system meet the requirements recommendations in the table below. You 1:19:57.880 --> 1:20:01.200 can upgrade to the latest browser by using these lanes. Chrome, Safari, 1:20:01.720 --> 1:20:05.879 Firefox Edge. Some features and functions may not operate properly 1:20:05.920 --> 1:20:10.559 with unsupported browser versions. We don't support beta or development versions. 1:20:11.120 --> 1:20:14.559 We don't support browsers in compatibility mode. We don't support 1:20:14.560 --> 1:20:15.800 third party browser. 1:20:15.439 --> 1:20:19.360 Extensions or plugins. So again, they. 1:20:19.200 --> 1:20:21.880 Want to make sure that you are secure, and that's 1:20:21.880 --> 1:20:25.040 why they support these. So I don't think that Firefox 1:20:25.080 --> 1:20:27.720 is necessarily bad, and I think it still is a 1:20:28.040 --> 1:20:31.680 very reliable browser and I don't see any problem with it. 1:20:32.000 --> 1:20:34.519 For me personally, it always comes down to whenever I 1:20:34.560 --> 1:20:37.679 try to switch away from Chrome, there's always some tiny 1:20:37.680 --> 1:20:39.880 little feature that I've come to rely on on Chrome 1:20:40.240 --> 1:20:42.800 that I just can't get away from. I will tell 1:20:42.800 --> 1:20:46.639 you I downloaded the Opera Air browser the other day, 1:20:46.840 --> 1:20:49.600 which is fantastic, and it's built on Chromium, which is 1:20:49.880 --> 1:20:52.840 the Chrome web browser at its heart. It's built on 1:20:52.880 --> 1:20:56.240 similar technology, so you can get the extensions and things, 1:20:57.280 --> 1:21:00.200 or at least I think it's built on Chromium. Don't 1:21:00.240 --> 1:21:01.920 quote me on that. Don't send me the emails, please, 1:21:01.960 --> 1:21:07.640 I will fact check that. Let's see browser identification Mozilla 1:21:07.880 --> 1:21:10.960 five point anyway, maybe it's not. Oh it is Chromium, 1:21:11.040 --> 1:21:13.759 Yes it is. Okay, there you go, send me the emails. 1:21:14.720 --> 1:21:16.639 But they have this great feature where they have chat 1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:19.839 GBT in the sidebar built into the browser, which is awesome. 1:21:20.479 --> 1:21:23.240 And then they also have little music like focus music. 1:21:23.920 --> 1:21:26.679 They call them boosts, so you can literally just play 1:21:26.760 --> 1:21:29.560 music on your browser that helps you be more creative, 1:21:29.640 --> 1:21:31.400 more energized, more relaxed. 1:21:32.000 --> 1:21:35.200 So it's really cool. But again, can I switch to it? 1:21:35.479 --> 1:21:35.599 Ay? 1:21:35.720 --> 1:21:37.800 I don't feel like logging into all my websites again. 1:21:37.880 --> 1:21:40.599 And b I've got my Chrome browser set up in 1:21:40.640 --> 1:21:45.400 such a streamlined way with all my buttons and tool 1:21:45.439 --> 1:21:49.040 bars and extensions and saved logins. 1:21:48.520 --> 1:21:49.879 That I don't want to change. 1:21:50.479 --> 1:21:53.200 And so I think some of this stuff is definitely 1:21:53.280 --> 1:21:57.320 inertia and momentum that keeps us doing things the same 1:21:57.360 --> 1:21:58.840 way over and over, and that's why it's tough for 1:21:58.880 --> 1:22:01.920 other browsers to kind of break in anyway. 1:22:01.960 --> 1:22:02.479 Good question. 1:22:02.520 --> 1:22:08.680 Mark didn't appreciate the Uh. You know, some people come 1:22:08.720 --> 1:22:10.599 on the show, and I get it, it's a platform, 1:22:10.680 --> 1:22:12.600 it's a big show, so they try to like, you know, 1:22:12.760 --> 1:22:13.880 sneak in other things. 1:22:13.920 --> 1:22:16.040 I guess that's been going on on radio forever. 1:22:16.520 --> 1:22:19.960 Adam Right, people like say stuff and you know, try 1:22:19.960 --> 1:22:22.000 to get things through anyway. 1:22:22.040 --> 1:22:23.000 I don't appreciate it. 1:22:23.439 --> 1:22:23.640 You know. 1:22:23.720 --> 1:22:25.439 It's like, look, we're trying to do a show. 1:22:25.720 --> 1:22:25.920 You know. 1:22:26.040 --> 1:22:30.439 I keep this show pretty non partisan, and I like 1:22:30.479 --> 1:22:32.080 it that way because there's so much stuff that we 1:22:32.120 --> 1:22:34.920 have to deal with on a daily basis that's political 1:22:34.960 --> 1:22:35.400 and this and that. 1:22:35.439 --> 1:22:36.280 I like to keep this. 1:22:36.800 --> 1:22:39.320 I want you to listen, no matter what you care about, right, Like, 1:22:39.400 --> 1:22:41.360 I want you to like the show for what it is. 1:22:42.640 --> 1:22:44.400 Do I have time for two quick emails or no? 1:22:44.479 --> 1:22:45.360 Do I got to go to break? 1:22:45.400 --> 1:22:45.439 No? 1:22:45.560 --> 1:22:46.439 Okay, let's go to break. 1:22:46.760 --> 1:22:50.040 All right, coming up this hour again, we're gonna have 1:22:50.080 --> 1:22:52.880 some great apps for you to download, and I'm gonna 1:22:52.880 --> 1:22:56.960 tell you how air tags. Airlines are turning to air 1:22:57.040 --> 1:22:59.320 tags to help them find lost luggage, and a new 1:22:59.360 --> 1:23:02.880 airline is on board. I'll tell you about that. Plus 1:23:02.920 --> 1:23:04.519 maybe we'll get some more of your calls. Eighty eight 1:23:04.600 --> 1:23:06.920 Rich one on one eight eight seven four to two 1:23:07.000 --> 1:23:10.960 four one zero on the website, richon tech dot TV. 1:23:11.160 --> 1:23:16.240 We'll be right back. Let's see here. 1:23:16.280 --> 1:23:21.639 We've got Matthew from Sunrise Beach, Australia. He's listening on 1:23:21.760 --> 1:23:24.800 KFI via the iHeart app. He says good day Rich 1:23:25.360 --> 1:23:26.839 in the ause style. 1:23:27.240 --> 1:23:27.760 I heard the. 1:23:27.680 --> 1:23:30.759 Caller mentioned issues with Arlow, and I've had the same problem. 1:23:30.840 --> 1:23:35.280 After an upgrade schedules and geofencing stopped working after forty 1:23:35.320 --> 1:23:39.320 three years in it. I was frustrated with Arlow's poor support, 1:23:39.360 --> 1:23:41.880 so I took matters into my own hand. I found 1:23:41.880 --> 1:23:45.720 that removing all linked mobile devices from the account and 1:23:45.800 --> 1:23:50.280 rebuilding from scratch solved the issue. Everything's working fine now, 1:23:50.400 --> 1:23:51.920 cheers from down under, Matthew. 1:23:52.360 --> 1:23:52.639 See. 1:23:52.640 --> 1:23:55.600 And that's why I like this show because it is 1:23:55.680 --> 1:24:00.000 a platform for finding out the answer I may not 1:24:00.120 --> 1:24:02.960 always have the answer immediately, but someone like Matthew, who's 1:24:02.960 --> 1:24:04.960 sitting there listening, going wait, wait, this happened to me. 1:24:05.040 --> 1:24:08.479 Hold on, let me write Rich, and then we help everyone. 1:24:09.080 --> 1:24:12.439 So that was the earlier question about the Rlow cameras. 1:24:13.280 --> 1:24:14.800 Let's see, I can see I can look in the 1:24:14.800 --> 1:24:18.040 show notes. It was Mark that was experiencing issues with 1:24:18.080 --> 1:24:21.200 the latest Arlow app update. So try that Mark, see 1:24:21.240 --> 1:24:26.880 if it works. Kevin writes in from Cottonwood Heights. Hey, Rich, 1:24:26.960 --> 1:24:28.880 the guy who called about an app that can view 1:24:28.920 --> 1:24:31.320 wys and other brands of cameras. He said he needed 1:24:31.320 --> 1:24:34.240 to get other cameras because the wise Pancam three doesn't 1:24:34.280 --> 1:24:37.519 have night vision one hundred percent on true, it absolutely 1:24:37.600 --> 1:24:39.880 has night vision. I own four of the Pancam threes, 1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:43.280 and night vision works on them just like the older version. 1:24:43.360 --> 1:24:43.759 Cameras. 1:24:43.800 --> 1:24:47.920 Have a great day. All right, problem solved. So who 1:24:47.960 --> 1:24:51.519 had the Wyse issue? Let's see, Oh, I didn't take 1:24:51.560 --> 1:24:54.280 notes on that one. After I just said I took 1:24:54.280 --> 1:24:57.799 great notes, maybe because I couldn't help him. 1:24:58.439 --> 1:25:00.880 There you go, that's wrong. 1:25:00.960 --> 1:25:05.200 I guess so I thought the wisecam had it built in, 1:25:05.280 --> 1:25:05.800 but I guess not. 1:25:06.000 --> 1:25:06.360 I guess. 1:25:07.200 --> 1:25:10.639 I guess I was second guessing myself, but I will 1:25:10.680 --> 1:25:13.599 say I did look in, you know, a little further, 1:25:14.479 --> 1:25:16.960 and yes, I can't seem to stream. 1:25:17.000 --> 1:25:17.479 I don't know why. 1:25:17.520 --> 1:25:19.519 I used to be able to stream my wiscams from 1:25:19.680 --> 1:25:22.200 Google Home, but for some reason, it's not letting me 1:25:22.240 --> 1:25:24.120 do that right now. I don't know if a camera's 1:25:24.160 --> 1:25:27.280 off or something, or it's been disconnected, but I see 1:25:27.280 --> 1:25:29.599 it on here, but it just won't let me stream 1:25:29.640 --> 1:25:31.400 it for some reason. But I know I've been able 1:25:31.439 --> 1:25:32.720 to do that in the past, especially we have a 1:25:32.720 --> 1:25:36.719 little Google Home, so we used to stream the camera 1:25:36.800 --> 1:25:40.320 there to watch the kids. And again, see it's like 1:25:40.320 --> 1:25:42.240 little changes, like we used to be able to have 1:25:42.439 --> 1:25:44.600 unlimited viewing on that camera, but then all of a 1:25:44.640 --> 1:25:47.080 sudden they were like limiting it to like a certain 1:25:47.080 --> 1:25:51.760 amount of streaming time before it would stop. American Airlines 1:25:52.040 --> 1:25:55.519 is joining the air tag program to help recover your 1:25:55.760 --> 1:25:59.599 lost luggage. I think this was on Let's see which 1:25:59.640 --> 1:26:02.559 blog View from the Wing. I like this one view 1:26:02.560 --> 1:26:06.599 from the Wing viewfrom Thewing dot com. So they talk 1:26:06.680 --> 1:26:09.320 about how Airlines lost one hundred and fifty million dollars 1:26:09.400 --> 1:26:12.839 last year to mishandled luggage. American Airlines is now joining 1:26:12.920 --> 1:26:15.920 eighteen other carriers and using Apple air tags to help 1:26:15.920 --> 1:26:17.200 recover bags faster. 1:26:17.920 --> 1:26:18.840 So I don't know if you remember this. 1:26:18.880 --> 1:26:21.040 When air tags first came out, of course, everyone was 1:26:21.080 --> 1:26:24.840 up in arms about them, privacy concerns, safety concerns, the 1:26:24.840 --> 1:26:26.960 airlines themselves some of them said, oh, don't put these 1:26:26.960 --> 1:26:29.439 in your bags, they can explode or whatever. But now, 1:26:29.520 --> 1:26:33.479 of course they're as common as like they're everywhere air tags. 1:26:33.680 --> 1:26:35.360 I think there's an air tag on everything now. 1:26:36.200 --> 1:26:38.120 And I was just talking to the points guy last 1:26:38.160 --> 1:26:40.720 week and he said, yes, if you have luggage, put 1:26:40.760 --> 1:26:42.720 an air tag on it, even if you have a 1:26:42.760 --> 1:26:44.479 carry on. I have it on all my carry ons 1:26:44.479 --> 1:26:46.280 because you never know you might be separated from it, 1:26:46.280 --> 1:26:51.559 you might leave it behind. Air tags are incredible. So 1:26:52.640 --> 1:26:55.800 American Airlines and I guess other airlines are joining this 1:26:55.920 --> 1:26:58.479 program where you can now share your air tag. 1:26:58.560 --> 1:26:59.960 Let's say your luggage gets lost. 1:27:00.439 --> 1:27:03.000 There is a special link you can place inside like 1:27:03.040 --> 1:27:07.120 the American Airlines app that will link your luggage to 1:27:07.200 --> 1:27:10.160 this air tag. So now their system could use your 1:27:10.200 --> 1:27:12.360 air tag and track it. And I guess they worked 1:27:12.360 --> 1:27:14.439 with Apple to make this all happen. I've not tried this, 1:27:14.479 --> 1:27:17.040 That's why I'm kind of dancing around it because I'm 1:27:17.040 --> 1:27:19.960 not really sure like it's interesting. So I guess you 1:27:20.040 --> 1:27:22.559 provide a secure link inside the app, and then all 1:27:22.560 --> 1:27:24.400 of a sudden, the airline can now track your bag 1:27:24.479 --> 1:27:27.040 through your air tag, all of course keeping it private. 1:27:28.240 --> 1:27:33.600 Airlines now participating in this include Delta, United, British Airways, Luftanza, 1:27:33.800 --> 1:27:37.880 Singapore Airlines, and American Airlines quietly joining the list. So 1:27:37.920 --> 1:27:42.400 you basically share the item through Apple's app, and then 1:27:42.479 --> 1:27:44.840 once your bag is lost, you scan a QR code 1:27:44.880 --> 1:27:47.439 at the baggage office to submit your claim and share 1:27:47.520 --> 1:27:52.840 your tracking info. So yeah, Now, the problem here is 1:27:52.840 --> 1:27:54.960 that this is only for Apple users, and this again 1:27:55.040 --> 1:27:57.400 goes back to that question of why do we see 1:27:57.400 --> 1:28:01.479 such a focus on certain things while because air tags 1:28:01.479 --> 1:28:05.760 are everywhere, smart tags tile not as popular. Anyway, if 1:28:05.800 --> 1:28:08.400 you're traveling, definitely have an air tag on your bag, 1:28:08.479 --> 1:28:11.439 if you're using iPhone. If you're not using iPhone, get 1:28:11.479 --> 1:28:15.200 something like a tile or a Pebble tracker Chipolo. Those 1:28:15.240 --> 1:28:17.560 all work with Android or a smart tag, you know, 1:28:17.840 --> 1:28:18.640 if you're Samsung. 1:28:19.240 --> 1:28:20.320 All right, coming up. 1:28:21.520 --> 1:28:24.680 Facundo Holdsmeister from How Too Men is going to talk 1:28:24.720 --> 1:28:28.559 about some of the coolest Android apps to download. Get 1:28:28.600 --> 1:28:32.360 ready for some must download recommendations right here on rich 1:28:32.439 --> 1:28:39.759 on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro 1:28:39.920 --> 1:28:43.120 here hanging out with you talking technology one of my 1:28:43.200 --> 1:28:47.360 favorite topics. I'm assuming our next guest likes it as well, 1:28:47.400 --> 1:28:49.280 because he talks about it all the time on his 1:28:49.360 --> 1:28:54.240 YouTube channel, How Two Men. Welcome to the show, Facundo Holsmeister. 1:28:55.120 --> 1:28:57.040 Thank you, Rich, I appreciate it for having me on. 1:28:57.439 --> 1:28:59.639 Yeah, so, I love your video you do every month 1:28:59.720 --> 1:29:03.639 about out the Android apps, like these hidden Android apps 1:29:03.640 --> 1:29:06.960 that you find, and I always kind of like download 1:29:07.000 --> 1:29:08.479 a couple of them. So I figured i'd have you 1:29:08.520 --> 1:29:10.920 on the show to talk about some of these must 1:29:11.080 --> 1:29:14.120 download recommendations. But first off, just tell me about your 1:29:14.360 --> 1:29:17.519 channel and haw'd you got the name? I guess is 1:29:17.520 --> 1:29:18.320 my first question? 1:29:19.040 --> 1:29:20.120 Yeah? Absolutely So. 1:29:20.439 --> 1:29:22.720 I created my channel back when I was thirteen, and 1:29:22.760 --> 1:29:26.559 I created with my tech YouTube friend who also loved 1:29:26.560 --> 1:29:30.040 technology too with smartphones, and we were doing how to 1:29:30.200 --> 1:29:32.960 videos and it's just two guys, so we just decided 1:29:32.960 --> 1:29:34.280 how two Men together? 1:29:34.640 --> 1:29:36.439 And since then he's gone his way and I've. 1:29:36.280 --> 1:29:38.000 Gone my way and I've just taken over the channel 1:29:38.000 --> 1:29:41.280 and since then, best apps you know, every month since then. 1:29:41.520 --> 1:29:44.200 Oh, that's so funny, that's awesome. And why Android? Why 1:29:44.200 --> 1:29:46.200 do you gravitate towards Android? 1:29:46.760 --> 1:29:49.320 I just like the customization behind it, everything you can 1:29:49.360 --> 1:29:51.880 do with it, all the teendering, all the unique apps 1:29:51.880 --> 1:29:54.280 that you can download too. It's a very fun experience. 1:29:54.880 --> 1:29:58.160 Do you think that Apple has gotten better with their 1:29:58.200 --> 1:30:00.360 customization in recent years? 1:30:01.080 --> 1:30:02.040 Oh? Most definitely. 1:30:02.160 --> 1:30:02.439 Yeah. 1:30:02.479 --> 1:30:05.040 I really do like their new widgets that they released 1:30:05.120 --> 1:30:07.760 back in iOS fortune. I believe on top of that, 1:30:07.800 --> 1:30:11.160 their control panel is way better than Androids obviously. 1:30:12.200 --> 1:30:15.000 Yeah, it's definitely gotten a lot better too. So they're both. 1:30:15.120 --> 1:30:15.840 They're both have. 1:30:15.840 --> 1:30:18.360 Their unique advantages, pros and cons on each side too. 1:30:18.680 --> 1:30:22.000 I definitely like each too. I prefer Android though, because 1:30:22.400 --> 1:30:24.640 it does have you can tink here, a little bit 1:30:24.680 --> 1:30:27.559 more here and there if you really dig into the settings. 1:30:27.920 --> 1:30:28.120 Now. 1:30:28.160 --> 1:30:30.080 One of the things I was talking about earlier on 1:30:30.080 --> 1:30:33.080 the show is I think one of the biggest delineations 1:30:33.120 --> 1:30:36.120 between Android and iOS right now is circle to search, 1:30:36.680 --> 1:30:41.200 because anything on your phone screen is up for grabs 1:30:41.320 --> 1:30:45.920 with searching, reverse searching, getting more information about it. Like 1:30:46.240 --> 1:30:49.320 let's say someone texts you a restaurant and you know 1:30:49.400 --> 1:30:51.840 on an iPhone, you've got to remember the name of it. 1:30:51.960 --> 1:30:54.559 Go to your browser, open it up, search this that. 1:30:55.040 --> 1:30:57.880 On Android, you literally just activate Circle to Search, tap 1:30:57.920 --> 1:30:59.720 the restaurant name, and it's like boom, you're into the 1:30:59.760 --> 1:31:01.680 whole search information about that. 1:31:02.479 --> 1:31:02.679 Yeah. 1:31:02.720 --> 1:31:05.760 No, absolutely, On Android, it's super easy. You just long 1:31:05.760 --> 1:31:08.000 press your nab bar. You can circle anything on us 1:31:08.040 --> 1:31:10.639 on the screen and it'll look it up. That's funny 1:31:10.680 --> 1:31:12.840 that you say that too, because there's actually an app 1:31:12.880 --> 1:31:15.200 on the play Store that you can download. It's called 1:31:15.240 --> 1:31:16.639 Circle to Search for. 1:31:16.680 --> 1:31:18.639 Older phones or for phones that don't have it. 1:31:18.720 --> 1:31:21.519 Some phones don't have that feature, so if you want 1:31:21.520 --> 1:31:23.640 that feature, you can literally just look up Circle to 1:31:23.680 --> 1:31:26.320 Search and you can have that same exact feature on 1:31:26.360 --> 1:31:27.599 any other Android as well. 1:31:28.439 --> 1:31:29.360 It works the same way too. 1:31:29.439 --> 1:31:31.800 You can long press the low key and you can 1:31:31.880 --> 1:31:34.280 just circle anything on the screen and it's free to 1:31:34.320 --> 1:31:36.800 download and you'll get that same feature. It's great to 1:31:36.800 --> 1:31:38.920 download on your older device that may not have this 1:31:39.040 --> 1:31:39.639 unique feature. 1:31:40.000 --> 1:31:42.040 That's her sing and I know, I know. It started 1:31:42.080 --> 1:31:44.439 out as a Samsung thing. It's expanded to more phones. 1:31:44.479 --> 1:31:47.400 But yeah, not every phone, like Google has to bless 1:31:47.400 --> 1:31:49.400 that feature onto your phone before you have it. It's 1:31:49.400 --> 1:31:53.320 not just like a given. Tell me about this alarm 1:31:53.920 --> 1:31:54.880 app you've found. 1:31:55.360 --> 1:31:59.080 Yeah, so there's an alarm app called QR Alarm. So 1:31:59.200 --> 1:32:01.120 in the morning, I know some people have it have 1:32:01.200 --> 1:32:03.400 a hard time waking up if if you hit the 1:32:03.439 --> 1:32:05.479 snooze button and you didn't hear. 1:32:05.400 --> 1:32:07.040 The alarm go off or something like that. 1:32:07.439 --> 1:32:10.240 Uh, there's a great app called QR Alarm that allows 1:32:10.280 --> 1:32:11.840 you to scan a QR code. 1:32:11.880 --> 1:32:13.639 You can link it to any QR code. 1:32:13.920 --> 1:32:16.360 And what I did is I actually printed out that 1:32:16.479 --> 1:32:19.240 QR code and I put that on a sheet of 1:32:19.280 --> 1:32:20.080 paper and put. 1:32:19.960 --> 1:32:20.800 It in the other room. 1:32:21.160 --> 1:32:22.800 So when I wake up in the morning, I can 1:32:22.880 --> 1:32:25.519 just get up, go to that room, scan it with 1:32:25.560 --> 1:32:27.800 my phone, and the alarm turns off. That's the only 1:32:27.840 --> 1:32:29.240 time the alarm will turn off when. 1:32:29.160 --> 1:32:29.840 I scan it. 1:32:29.960 --> 1:32:32.519 Oh really, it really forces you to get out of bed. 1:32:32.720 --> 1:32:36.560 Yeah, I've had I've definitely had the situation where I 1:32:36.600 --> 1:32:38.400 turn off my alarm without realizing and all of a 1:32:38.400 --> 1:32:39.000 sudden I wake up. 1:32:39.000 --> 1:32:40.639 I'm like, wait, what why is the alarm off? 1:32:41.760 --> 1:32:45.040 How about this app that turns your front camera hole 1:32:45.080 --> 1:32:46.519 punch into a button. 1:32:47.240 --> 1:32:50.800 Yeah, so it's called nody Guy. This is actually a 1:32:50.840 --> 1:32:54.080 pretty fun one. So your front camera on your front phone, 1:32:54.160 --> 1:32:57.559 it allows you to you can it allows you can 1:32:57.560 --> 1:33:00.519 turn into a button essentially. So what I did is 1:33:00.600 --> 1:33:03.800 this app basically puts like a little touch area around 1:33:03.880 --> 1:33:06.400 your front camera and when you tap on it, you 1:33:06.439 --> 1:33:09.840 can open things like your favorite app, maybe a certain action, 1:33:10.040 --> 1:33:12.200 maybe you could take a screenshot or something. 1:33:12.600 --> 1:33:14.720 Basically, you just tap on your notch. 1:33:14.800 --> 1:33:17.040 Of your front front camera hole punch and it'll turn 1:33:17.040 --> 1:33:17.799 it into a button. 1:33:18.400 --> 1:33:21.000 It links it pretty cool. 1:33:21.920 --> 1:33:22.160 Yeah. 1:33:22.200 --> 1:33:24.400 Now this next one you really got me to thinking 1:33:24.720 --> 1:33:27.800 how I turned off this functionality on the Samsung the 1:33:27.840 --> 1:33:30.360 big full screen reminder. And then when you did this 1:33:30.439 --> 1:33:32.400 video and I saw this little remind Me app, I 1:33:32.439 --> 1:33:35.479 was like, wait, that's actually really good because I sometimes 1:33:35.479 --> 1:33:36.240 you miss things. 1:33:36.320 --> 1:33:38.280 Because it just explained what this is. 1:33:38.760 --> 1:33:41.960 Yeah, so basically there's an app called remind Me and 1:33:42.000 --> 1:33:44.760 you can. By the way, all these apps are free. 1:33:45.120 --> 1:33:47.920 So on the Samsung phones, whenever you set a reminder, 1:33:48.040 --> 1:33:51.000 you get a full screen reminder, meaning that you can't 1:33:51.240 --> 1:33:54.000 you can't dismiss it unless you actually see it. 1:33:54.040 --> 1:33:55.360 And you hit the dismissed button. 1:33:55.439 --> 1:33:58.559 On any other phone, when you set a reminder, you 1:33:58.600 --> 1:34:00.920 go into the you get a note of vacation, which 1:34:00.960 --> 1:34:03.960 can easily get lost in your panel. So what this 1:34:04.000 --> 1:34:06.920 app does remind me it's on the play Store. It 1:34:07.000 --> 1:34:09.920 basically gives you a whole new, fresh way to get 1:34:09.960 --> 1:34:12.559 a full screen reminder on your phone, so that way 1:34:13.000 --> 1:34:15.160 you don't forget it, and it's right in your face 1:34:15.240 --> 1:34:16.400 right when you turn on the screen. 1:34:16.520 --> 1:34:19.880 It's great, that's really good. And I turn this feature 1:34:19.920 --> 1:34:22.080 now because I do have a Samsung. I turn it 1:34:22.120 --> 1:34:23.640 back on on the Samsung. But I love how you 1:34:23.640 --> 1:34:27.519 can get this for any phone. Now, how about GPT 1:34:27.680 --> 1:34:29.559 Mobile GPT Mobile. 1:34:29.600 --> 1:34:30.840 That's a fun one too, you. 1:34:30.720 --> 1:34:37.519 Know, with AI on the Rise and everyone using GPT Chat, GPT, Gemini, Claude, 1:34:37.560 --> 1:34:40.080 all these different models to choose from, it's hard to 1:34:40.200 --> 1:34:43.240 choose which one has the best option for responses. So 1:34:43.280 --> 1:34:45.360 why not combine them all and have them all on 1:34:45.360 --> 1:34:45.880 one app. 1:34:46.040 --> 1:34:48.599 This literally lets you have every single one. 1:34:48.960 --> 1:34:51.320 You just just have to type in a key to 1:34:51.320 --> 1:34:53.719 get it linked up, and then all of a sudden 1:34:53.760 --> 1:34:56.280 you can just ask you a question and it'll bring 1:34:56.400 --> 1:35:00.400 up their responses for each model of AI on the spot, 1:35:00.479 --> 1:35:02.880 so you don't even have to switch between CHATTEBT or 1:35:02.920 --> 1:35:06.040 Gemini or Claude. You can get all the responses right 1:35:06.080 --> 1:35:09.000 then and there. Called GPT Mobile. That's a fun one too. 1:35:09.520 --> 1:35:12.439 What's your what's your preferred AI? At this point? 1:35:13.360 --> 1:35:17.320 Honestly, I'd say it's chat GPT just because of this app. 1:35:17.360 --> 1:35:19.880 It allowed me to see all the different responses and 1:35:20.160 --> 1:35:21.840 CHATJPT for sure brought. 1:35:21.560 --> 1:35:24.400 The most the most detailed responses. 1:35:23.920 --> 1:35:24.479 That I found. 1:35:24.760 --> 1:35:26.920 Any privacy concerns with this app? Do we have to 1:35:26.920 --> 1:35:29.400 be worried about that one? 1:35:29.520 --> 1:35:30.160 I don't know. 1:35:30.400 --> 1:35:32.479 That one just links it. It's all open source. This 1:35:32.520 --> 1:35:34.880 one allows you to just link it to the API key. 1:35:35.560 --> 1:35:39.080 You'll be okay, okay. What about this next one? Tracker control? 1:35:39.160 --> 1:35:43.080 Because basically we're all looking for more privacy. How can 1:35:43.120 --> 1:35:43.519 this help? 1:35:44.160 --> 1:35:44.479 Yeah? 1:35:44.520 --> 1:35:47.879 Definitely. So on your phone you have a lot of trackers. 1:35:47.920 --> 1:35:50.840 You can't really avoid it. Every app that you download 1:35:51.600 --> 1:35:55.200 has trackers behind it. And trackers aren't necessarily a bad thing. 1:35:55.840 --> 1:36:00.200 Sometimes they just use it for at personalization or you 1:36:00.240 --> 1:36:03.920 can some of them use it for analytics. But this 1:36:03.960 --> 1:36:06.559 one allows you with track or control. It allows you 1:36:06.600 --> 1:36:10.639 to have basically a VPN, a local VPN put onto 1:36:10.680 --> 1:36:14.160 your phone and it will basically tell you which of 1:36:14.160 --> 1:36:17.559 your apps have trackers in them and why they're using 1:36:17.600 --> 1:36:20.559 those trackers. And if you want to, you can also 1:36:20.640 --> 1:36:23.160 turn off internet access for some of those apps that 1:36:23.240 --> 1:36:25.240 you don't want accessing your internets. 1:36:25.400 --> 1:36:26.160 It's pretty cool. 1:36:26.920 --> 1:36:28.920 Oh interesting. Okay, So if you don't want it to 1:36:29.040 --> 1:36:32.320 like phone home or something, you can just toggle that off. 1:36:32.800 --> 1:36:35.840 Yeah, let's say you have an offline game and or 1:36:36.040 --> 1:36:38.599 some app that doesn't really require the Internet for example, 1:36:38.760 --> 1:36:40.719 you can just go in there and you can turn 1:36:40.760 --> 1:36:43.599 off the internet for that app, so that way it 1:36:43.600 --> 1:36:45.559 doesn't do anything sketchy in the background. 1:36:46.080 --> 1:36:48.519 Okay. Finally, this I don't know how to say, is 1:36:48.560 --> 1:36:49.760 a kind stop. 1:36:50.040 --> 1:36:53.439 Yeah, yeah, keen stop or kind stop yeah? 1:36:53.479 --> 1:36:54.760 What is that? That f one? 1:36:54.840 --> 1:36:57.360 So that one so whenever you're in the car and 1:36:57.400 --> 1:37:01.000 you're using your phone, maybe you get motion sickness. Happens 1:37:01.040 --> 1:37:03.200 to me a couple of times when I'm reading or 1:37:03.640 --> 1:37:06.599 looking in an article or something like that basically allows 1:37:06.600 --> 1:37:09.880 you to lower motion sickness while using your phone in 1:37:09.960 --> 1:37:12.280 the car or maybe an airplane too. And the way 1:37:12.320 --> 1:37:15.479 it does this is by adding some visual elements on 1:37:15.560 --> 1:37:20.080 the screen, sort of simulating in the horizon and following 1:37:20.120 --> 1:37:23.000 your hand movements. It may sound like it may sound 1:37:23.040 --> 1:37:25.280 like a gimmick, but it's been working for a lot 1:37:25.320 --> 1:37:28.360 of people. It has a ton of awesome reviews, and 1:37:28.720 --> 1:37:30.479 don't knock until you try it, to be honest. 1:37:31.040 --> 1:37:33.040 Do you have a favorite Android phone these days? 1:37:33.960 --> 1:37:34.280 Uh? 1:37:34.400 --> 1:37:34.879 Definitely. 1:37:34.960 --> 1:37:35.200 Yeah. 1:37:35.280 --> 1:37:38.439 I mostly switch between the Galaxy devices. I like the 1:37:38.479 --> 1:37:41.599 Galaxy S twenty five Ultra, but my heart always goes 1:37:41.640 --> 1:37:44.360 back to the Google Pixel just because I'm a Nexus 1:37:44.400 --> 1:37:47.160 fan from back in the day. So uh yeah, I 1:37:47.400 --> 1:37:50.080 definitely like the core Android stock Android experience. 1:37:50.360 --> 1:37:53.360 Yeah, I feel the same way I find myself going 1:37:53.400 --> 1:37:56.200 back and forth. You you remember that wallpaper, that Nexus 1:37:56.200 --> 1:37:59.040 wallpaper that was live, Remember the little digital like colors 1:37:59.080 --> 1:38:00.320 that would go up and down as stuff? 1:38:00.760 --> 1:38:01.000 Yeah? 1:38:01.040 --> 1:38:03.720 Absolutely, absolutely, the one where you could just tap on 1:38:03.760 --> 1:38:09.320 the screen and it expands into a four colorway immersion experience. 1:38:09.360 --> 1:38:12.519 It's pretty nice. It's funny too, because there's actually an 1:38:12.520 --> 1:38:14.719 app for that too. It's called I think it's called 1:38:15.080 --> 1:38:16.520 NeXT's Live Wallpaper. 1:38:16.920 --> 1:38:17.400 There you go. 1:38:17.479 --> 1:38:19.400 I probably saw that on your channel, all right. The 1:38:19.479 --> 1:38:23.400 channel is how two men, it's on YouTube. How two 1:38:23.439 --> 1:38:27.679 men follow it? Facundo Holsmeister, thanks so much for joining 1:38:27.720 --> 1:38:28.120 me today. 1:38:28.520 --> 1:38:29.920 Thank you, rich I appreciate it. 1:38:29.960 --> 1:38:31.960 All right, I'll put links to all of the apps 1:38:32.000 --> 1:38:36.040 that we mentioned on our website, rich on Tech dot tv. 1:38:36.560 --> 1:38:39.200 All right, coming up, we'll get through a couple of stories. 1:38:39.240 --> 1:38:44.000 The one plus Watch three has a really unfortunate typo 1:38:44.280 --> 1:38:46.720 on it. I'll explain that. Plus we'll open up the 1:38:46.720 --> 1:38:54.400 feedback right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to 1:38:54.520 --> 1:38:57.240 rich on Tech. We'll get to the feedback in just 1:38:57.280 --> 1:39:01.280 a moment. Two quick stories for you here Ring If 1:39:01.280 --> 1:39:04.080 you've been waiting for a new outdoor cam, they just 1:39:04.320 --> 1:39:07.320 released one. It's called the Outdoor Cam Plus. They say 1:39:07.320 --> 1:39:11.520 it's got the best ever image quality two K video resolution. 1:39:12.000 --> 1:39:14.840 It's got low light site technology so it can get 1:39:14.920 --> 1:39:19.240 clear color footage even in near darkness. You can use 1:39:19.280 --> 1:39:22.479 this indoors or outdoors. It's weather resistant, you can mount it, 1:39:22.920 --> 1:39:24.840 you can use battery, you can plug it in, or 1:39:24.880 --> 1:39:28.400 you can use solar. It's got motion detection, real time alerts, 1:39:28.400 --> 1:39:32.640 two way talk. And if you've got this Ring Home subscription, 1:39:32.760 --> 1:39:34.519 which I think the price just went up on that, 1:39:35.439 --> 1:39:38.080 you can get event video history. So again a lot 1:39:38.080 --> 1:39:40.360 of these cameras don't forget if you're not paying for 1:39:40.400 --> 1:39:44.080 the subscription, they're just live streaming. They're not recording necessarily 1:39:44.800 --> 1:39:47.799 unless they have local storage. You can also get package 1:39:47.840 --> 1:39:50.680 detection twenty four to seven recording if you're plugging this in. 1:39:50.760 --> 1:39:51.280 That's new. 1:39:51.439 --> 1:39:55.000 By the way, Ring just added that smart Video Search 1:39:55.120 --> 1:39:57.200 AI you can use to find things like if you 1:39:57.240 --> 1:39:59.439 want to search raccoon, you can see if Raccoon crossed 1:39:59.439 --> 1:40:00.040 your video. 1:40:01.479 --> 1:40:01.839 Anyway. 1:40:01.880 --> 1:40:06.240 Pre order now Amazonring dot Com. Hunter Bucks starts shipping 1:40:06.280 --> 1:40:09.519 on March twenty sixth. Another new product the one plus 1:40:09.640 --> 1:40:12.960 Watch three. This is a new one plus watch. I've 1:40:12.960 --> 1:40:15.519 been testing it out. It's a great watch, works really 1:40:15.520 --> 1:40:17.320 well if you have an Android phone. It's got a 1:40:17.320 --> 1:40:24.120 great design, long battery life, great screen. But the downside 1:40:24.479 --> 1:40:29.559 is an unfortunate typo on the back. So someone looked 1:40:29.600 --> 1:40:31.160 at the back of this thing and saw that it 1:40:31.200 --> 1:40:35.000 says instead of made in China, it says Meta Meda 1:40:35.240 --> 1:40:37.240 in China. I guess there's a little typo that they 1:40:37.240 --> 1:40:41.479 didn't notice before they went to press with it. Mistake 1:40:41.600 --> 1:40:44.639 was first spotted on review units quickly caught attention on Reddit. 1:40:45.120 --> 1:40:47.599 Now it doesn't affect the watch at all, but it's 1:40:47.680 --> 1:40:49.840 kind of like pretty rare for an error like this 1:40:50.000 --> 1:40:53.080 to slip through. So some people are saying these watches 1:40:53.160 --> 1:40:56.800 might be collector items, collector's items. We don't know if 1:40:56.840 --> 1:41:00.200 one plus has corrected this because the watch hasn't shipped yet. 1:41:00.240 --> 1:41:01.839 Right now, it's just on the review units. 1:41:02.320 --> 1:41:04.759 But anyway, if you get one of these one plus 1:41:04.800 --> 1:41:08.160 watch threes, check the back. I know mine says it. 1:41:08.200 --> 1:41:10.120 I checked mine. I couldn't believe it. I was like, what, 1:41:10.320 --> 1:41:12.599 when did you ever see that? Some people were saying 1:41:12.600 --> 1:41:15.760 it was a joke about avoiding tariffs because it wasn't 1:41:15.760 --> 1:41:17.800 made in China, don't have to pay the tariff on it. 1:41:17.800 --> 1:41:21.920 It was meta in China, Meda. All right, let's open 1:41:21.960 --> 1:41:26.320 up the feedbag. Let's see deb rightes. What's a good, 1:41:26.400 --> 1:41:29.360 safe and reliable scanning app to use for forwarding tax 1:41:29.400 --> 1:41:31.679 documents to my CPA? Used to use the notes app. 1:41:31.680 --> 1:41:33.960 It no longer allows me to convert files to PDFs. 1:41:34.400 --> 1:41:37.320 Notes app still allows you to convert files to PDFs. 1:41:37.600 --> 1:41:40.240 Just go into the notes app, tapped the little attachment 1:41:40.520 --> 1:41:44.479 icon and then say, I think it's just scan scan document. 1:41:44.600 --> 1:41:48.720 Let's see new document tached the little paper clip. It 1:41:48.720 --> 1:41:51.160 says scan documents. You can scan the document that way. 1:41:51.439 --> 1:41:52.720 If you don't want to do it that way, you 1:41:52.720 --> 1:41:54.880 can use the files app on your iPhone that will 1:41:54.880 --> 1:41:58.479 also scan documents as PDFs. If you're on Android, you 1:41:58.479 --> 1:42:00.840 can use the Google Drive app. It's got a built 1:42:00.840 --> 1:42:03.920 in scanner that will save them as PDFs. Just tap 1:42:03.960 --> 1:42:06.439 the plus icon and select scan once you open up 1:42:06.439 --> 1:42:08.360 that app. And if you don't want to deal with 1:42:08.360 --> 1:42:11.160 any of that stuff, Adobe scan is really good. It 1:42:11.200 --> 1:42:14.120 works on iPhone and Android. Adobe Scan is the one 1:42:15.520 --> 1:42:18.160 ray from brayat California writes in what's your recommendation on 1:42:18.160 --> 1:42:21.839 a quality AMFM Internet radio with a wired Ethernet connection? 1:42:22.520 --> 1:42:25.640 My Wi Fi gets interrupted by a ham radio operator 1:42:25.680 --> 1:42:28.600 next door, so I'd prefer something reliable. 1:42:30.280 --> 1:42:30.800 Let's see. 1:42:30.880 --> 1:42:35.760 I found one called the Grace Where is it here? 1:42:36.360 --> 1:42:41.120 The Grace Digital Mondo Elite Internet Radio. But then it's 1:42:41.120 --> 1:42:43.800 got a USB two Ethernet adapter, so it's a one 1:42:43.760 --> 1:42:44.360 to two punch. 1:42:44.400 --> 1:42:50.880 You'll need those two products. The Grace Digital Mondo Elite. 1:42:50.960 --> 1:42:52.200 Let's see how much that is? I think it was 1:42:52.240 --> 1:42:56.479 two hundred dollars. Let's see, Yeah, two hundred dollars, So 1:42:56.960 --> 1:42:59.360 two d and twenty bucks. All your problems are solved 1:42:59.360 --> 1:43:02.000 there right, well, at least when it comes to the radio. 1:43:02.920 --> 1:43:04.360 Let's see, Bob. 1:43:04.840 --> 1:43:07.639 Bob writes in on enjoying the podcast from Australia. Your 1:43:07.680 --> 1:43:10.360 discussion on satellite mobile connectivity caught my attention. 1:43:10.400 --> 1:43:12.280 You got the orbit mechanics a bit off. 1:43:12.360 --> 1:43:14.040 Yeah, I knew I did as soon as I said it, 1:43:14.840 --> 1:43:16.800 because I said that one of the satellites stays in 1:43:16.840 --> 1:43:18.360 the same place and the others move. 1:43:18.479 --> 1:43:20.080 That's not true, he says. 1:43:20.080 --> 1:43:23.559 Both Apple, Global Star and Starlink satellites are constantly moving 1:43:23.600 --> 1:43:26.120 in the sky. The key difference is that global Star 1:43:26.200 --> 1:43:30.679 has about twenty eight satellites requiring precise alignment, while Starlink 1:43:30.720 --> 1:43:33.360 has sixty five hundred aiming for forty thousand. Wow, are 1:43:33.360 --> 1:43:38.360 those numbers right? Ensuring near constant coverage. So and then 1:43:38.400 --> 1:43:42.760 he goes into low earth orbit. Satellites travel seventeen five 1:43:42.840 --> 1:43:46.519 hundred miles per hour at six hundred miles up. They 1:43:46.920 --> 1:43:49.600 orbit the Earth in ninety minutes. They're visible overhead for 1:43:49.640 --> 1:43:54.040 five minutes. Used for fast, lower cost communications, then you've 1:43:54.080 --> 1:43:58.880 got geo satellites geostationary orbit twenty two thousand miles up, 1:43:58.920 --> 1:44:01.679 traveling at sixty three hundred miles per hour. They say 1:44:01.760 --> 1:44:05.479 fixed over one spot, but they require stronger signals. So 1:44:05.640 --> 1:44:09.720 with thousands of starlike starlink satellites spread globally, you're always 1:44:09.960 --> 1:44:14.280 within range global stars. Smaller network means less frequent connections. 1:44:14.280 --> 1:44:17.200 Hope that clears things up, Bob, thank you for the 1:44:17.800 --> 1:44:22.240 masterclass in satellite. I appreciate it, and apologies for getting 1:44:22.280 --> 1:44:27.160 that wrong. Let's see gym rights in. I'm enjoying this 1:44:27.200 --> 1:44:32.479 application called the Cruise Globe, the Cruiseglobe dot com. It 1:44:32.600 --> 1:44:36.599 tracks all of your cruises. That's pretty cool. It shows 1:44:36.640 --> 1:44:38.160 you where all your cruises are on a map. It's 1:44:38.240 --> 1:44:39.200 kind of like when I was a kid. I had 1:44:39.200 --> 1:44:40.800 a map on my wall of all the different places 1:44:40.800 --> 1:44:43.680 I went, with a little pin in each one. And 1:44:43.720 --> 1:44:46.000 then Craig writes in the trick to deleting a ton 1:44:46.040 --> 1:44:49.200 of Gmail emails, use a desktop computer only, not an 1:44:49.240 --> 1:44:52.120 iPhone or an iPad. I just wiped out one hundred 1:44:52.120 --> 1:44:54.240 and fifty thousand emails in about thirty minutes. It took 1:44:54.280 --> 1:44:57.439 me two tries. Then I empty the trash done. 1:44:57.960 --> 1:44:58.200 Yes. 1:44:58.320 --> 1:45:00.080 The main thing to know here is that when you 1:45:00.120 --> 1:45:03.320 go to Gmail and you search for something like someone's email, 1:45:03.680 --> 1:45:07.479 you have to tap that little square checkbox and then 1:45:07.520 --> 1:45:10.240 it says select all up at the top. You can 1:45:10.280 --> 1:45:12.200 select all and then it will go through. It take 1:45:12.200 --> 1:45:15.160 a while to delete, by the way. It's not like instantaneous, 1:45:15.200 --> 1:45:17.600 but it does take a little bit. Let's see if 1:45:17.600 --> 1:45:21.400 I have time for one more here. Phil from Mount Prospect, 1:45:21.439 --> 1:45:24.759 Illinois rites in. Just want to congratulate you on fourteen 1:45:24.880 --> 1:45:26.240 years at the TV station. 1:45:26.360 --> 1:45:27.280 That's really terrific. 1:45:27.320 --> 1:45:29.880 We're glad to see your rich on tech report on 1:45:30.080 --> 1:45:33.719 WGNTV in Chicago and hope to see a longer half 1:45:33.720 --> 1:45:35.880 hour show someday. All the best to you and those 1:45:35.920 --> 1:45:38.360 affected by the terrible wildfires and flooding. 1:45:39.120 --> 1:45:39.799 Thank you, Phil. 1:45:40.240 --> 1:45:42.880 Yeah, so you know, I work for a TV station 1:45:42.920 --> 1:45:45.679 here in Los Angeles KTLA, Channel five, but the segment 1:45:45.760 --> 1:45:49.599 goes to a bunch of TV stations nationwide. WGN Chicago 1:45:49.720 --> 1:45:52.000 is one of them, so that's where Phil is watching. 1:45:52.080 --> 1:45:52.439 Thank you. 1:45:52.800 --> 1:45:55.040 We do have a half an hour show actually on 1:45:55.479 --> 1:45:59.559 KTLA Plus, which is a free streaming app. You can 1:45:59.600 --> 1:46:01.439 watch it there. You don't have to be in LA 1:46:01.520 --> 1:46:03.400 to download it. You can download it anywhere. So if 1:46:03.400 --> 1:46:05.559 you want to see the half hour show, it actually 1:46:05.560 --> 1:46:08.200 includes some of this radio show. The first ten minutes 1:46:08.800 --> 1:46:10.960 is on that TV show, so it's kind of cool. 1:46:10.960 --> 1:46:12.840 If you want to see behind the scenes what it 1:46:12.880 --> 1:46:15.479 looks like in the studio here, you can see that. 1:46:15.680 --> 1:46:17.720 So and then of course we have longer versions of 1:46:17.760 --> 1:46:21.040 my TV segments and all that good stuff. So fun 1:46:21.080 --> 1:46:25.960 stuff KTLA plus it's available on Roku, Apple TV, and 1:46:26.760 --> 1:46:30.320 let's see Fire TV and also Samsung TVs. All right, 1:46:30.360 --> 1:46:33.000 I think that's gonna do it. That's gonna do it. 1:46:33.040 --> 1:46:34.639 For this episode of the show. You can find links 1:46:34.680 --> 1:46:36.680 to everything I mentioned on the website.
