Speaker 1: phone lines at triple eight rich one oh one. That's
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.
Speaker 1: Give me a call if you have a question about technology.
Speaker 1: Email is also an option. Just go to the website.
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot TV Hitcomact again rich on tech
Speaker 1: dot TV guests. This week, we've got Titanya Jordan. She's
Speaker 1: going to join me to talk about her new book
Speaker 1: and keeping kids safe online. Yeah, parents, I know we're
Speaker 1: all out of control. She's gonna help rain some of
Speaker 1: this stuff in Brandon Butch, tech YouTuber and writer at
Speaker 1: the Apple Den will join me to talk all things Apple.
Speaker 1: We'll hit on the iPhone sixteen E, some changes over
Speaker 1: in Europe, and all the other things that Apple is
Speaker 1: doing this week. Lots of little announcements with them, and
Speaker 1: then later on in the show, if Akundo holdsmeister from
Speaker 1: how two Men, we'll talk about some of the coolest
Speaker 1: hidden Android apps. Get ready to download some great new apps.
Speaker 1: He does a great job on YouTube with those well.
Speaker 1: Apple has launched the successor to the iPhone SE. It
Speaker 1: is called the iPhone sixteen E. Now the E doesn't
Speaker 1: officially stand for anything, of course, there's many speculations going
Speaker 1: around online about what it might stand for, economical, essential, everything,
Speaker 1: whatever else.
Speaker 2: You can think of. This starts with E.
Speaker 1: But this is the phone that is replacing the iPhone SE.
Speaker 1: It's been over a thousand days since they came out
Speaker 1: with that phone, so it was time for an update.
Speaker 1: And this is a modern smartphone with pretty much everything
Speaker 1: you need at a price that is not so bad
Speaker 1: so basic specs. Yes, it has a bigger screen six
Speaker 1: point one inches. It's got the A eighteen chip, which
Speaker 1: is Apple's latest processor. On the iPhone sixteen, not the Pro.
Speaker 1: The Pro has a slightly more elevated chip, but this
Speaker 1: is like their latest modern chip. It's got a one
Speaker 1: forty eight megapixel camera, so just one camera lens on
Speaker 1: this but I'll talk about that in a bit.
Speaker 2: It also has face ID instead of a home button.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like the se because
Speaker 1: they're holding on to that home button. But with this phone,
Speaker 1: Apple has officially retired that old technology. Now all of
Speaker 1: their phones in the line up to have face ID.
Speaker 1: And it's also got USBC instead of lightning, so again
Speaker 1: another modern upgrade. Now because it has that latest processor,
Speaker 1: there is support for Apple Intelligence. This is their suite
Speaker 1: of all of the different you know, writing tools and
Speaker 1: the image playground and all that fun stuff that you
Speaker 1: can do that I'll be quite honest, I don't use
Speaker 1: a ton of it on the iPhone. I have it
Speaker 1: on my model, but I don't find myself using it.
Speaker 1: I still am pretty much turning to chat GBT when
Speaker 1: I need to do things. Now, when it comes to
Speaker 1: buttons on this phone, I mentioned there's no home button,
Speaker 1: but there isn't action button on the side. So remember
Speaker 1: that little slider they used to have the little toggle
Speaker 1: switch for ringer and silent. Well that's been replaced on
Speaker 1: the later iPhones with what's called an action button. And
Speaker 1: the neat thing about this action button is if you
Speaker 1: want it to, you know, still function in the same
Speaker 1: way as your ring silent switch, you can still do that.
Speaker 1: You just press it and hold it and it will
Speaker 1: toggle between those two functionalities. But the neat thing is
Speaker 1: you can assign it to do a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: other things. So you can make it launch the camera,
Speaker 1: it can launch the flashlight, it can activate a voice memo.
Speaker 1: You can also use it for visual intelligence, so there
Speaker 1: is no camera control. The second button that they added
Speaker 1: to the new latest iPhones, the iPhone sixteen models, that
Speaker 1: is not on this device. But you can still assign
Speaker 1: this action button to let you do pretty much whatever
Speaker 1: you want. You can make it open up an app.
Speaker 1: And this intelligence feature is kind of interesting because this
Speaker 1: is kind of Apple's version of Google lens. So if
Speaker 1: you activate this visual intelligence, you can aim it at
Speaker 1: a bird, it can identify the bird. If you aim
Speaker 1: it at a business card, it can add that information
Speaker 1: to your contacts. It can identify plants, animals, and much more.
Speaker 1: You can also use it to search items. So if
Speaker 1: you're looking at something like a address or a couch
Speaker 1: you want to buy, someone has something in their house
Speaker 1: that you want, you can just search Google for that
Speaker 1: product for where to buy it, and of course it
Speaker 1: links up with chat GBT if it can't get the
Speaker 1: answer through Apple or through Google. This is the first
Speaker 1: iPhone to have a modem designed by Apple.
Speaker 2: And this is pretty wild.
Speaker 1: I know, it seems like a small thing because who
Speaker 1: cares about the motem inside of a phone? But Qualcomm
Speaker 1: typically makes those modems, and so the fact that Apple's
Speaker 1: making their own, that's, you know, kind of a big
Speaker 1: shift for this because they do sell hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of iPhones every year, and so the fact that that
Speaker 1: is moving away from Qualcom not a good thing for
Speaker 1: their business, but of course a good thing for Apple
Speaker 1: because they can now optimize that modem to do exactly
Speaker 1: what they want on these phones. This is called the
Speaker 1: C one, and Apple says already they're getting fast and
Speaker 1: reliable five G coverage, but also it's making the phone
Speaker 1: have better battery life, because if you think about it,
Speaker 1: most of these phone makers have to kind of shimmy
Speaker 1: into what these chips do. So they get the chip,
Speaker 1: and they get the camera lens, and they get all
Speaker 1: this stuff from different manufacturers and then they build the
Speaker 1: phone around it. With Apple, when it comes to the
Speaker 1: processor and also this now modem, they are designing that
Speaker 1: from the ground to work with the phone, so they
Speaker 1: can make their software very very specific in how it
Speaker 1: does everything, and you get a lot of efficiency and
Speaker 1: power and computing efficiency through that. So now when it
Speaker 1: comes to the camera, this is a two to one
Speaker 1: camera system. So yes, I said, it's just one lens
Speaker 1: forty eight megapixels, but because it's so high megapixels, you
Speaker 1: can crop into the picture, which means effectively you have
Speaker 1: a two x telephoto zoom without any loss of quality.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to test that out see how
Speaker 1: that works in real life. But yes, one lens on
Speaker 1: the back, very simple setup, No dedicated zoom lens, no
Speaker 1: ultra wide lens, no macro photography, no spatial photography, so
Speaker 1: no three D pictures or videos off of this.
Speaker 2: But again, this is a basic phone. You don't need
Speaker 2: all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Now, when it comes to emergency services, Apple has really
Speaker 1: been good in this aspect. Satellite is supported, so you
Speaker 1: can do messages over satellite, you can send emergency SOS,
Speaker 1: roadside assistance via satellite. You can also update your location
Speaker 1: and find my via satellite. Plus it's got crash detection.
Speaker 1: So Apple has really led the charge in sort of
Speaker 1: these emergency services. Your phone is your lifeline. So if
Speaker 1: you get into an accident, something happens, you're in the
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere, your phone is basically gonna call emergency
Speaker 1: services for you. So that's pretty amazing. Now, if you
Speaker 1: have the iPhone se, I think that this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a really nice upgrade. I know you're gonna lose
Speaker 1: that home button, but I think overall, this is a
Speaker 1: really nice phone for the price. But there are some
Speaker 1: things you don't get, and I haven't mentioned the price
Speaker 1: just yet, have I I'll tell you that in a moment.
Speaker 1: You do get an OLED screen, but it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be as bright as the iPhone sixteen. So in almost
Speaker 1: every aspect you're getting what you need, but you're getting
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of a lesser version of it.
Speaker 2: And I think for most people that's not going to
Speaker 2: be that big of a problem.
Speaker 1: There's no dynamic island that's that little area near the
Speaker 1: selfie camera that displays information. It's the kind of traditional
Speaker 1: notch they had on older models of the iPhone. Also,
Speaker 1: there's no always on display. So if you like to
Speaker 1: look at your phone, glance at the screen, be able
Speaker 1: to see the time and notifications without touching it, that's
Speaker 1: not happening on this device. There's also now this gets
Speaker 1: into a little bit of a nuanced area. But this phone,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people, of course give
Speaker 1: Apple some issue with this. It's got a slow refresh rate,
Speaker 1: so slower than Android phones of this quality.
Speaker 2: And what does that mean.
Speaker 1: It means that when you're moving around on the screen,
Speaker 1: things may not refresh as quickly.
Speaker 2: They may be a little bit slower to the eye.
Speaker 1: But I don't think people that are buying this phone
Speaker 1: are going to care about that, and that's never been
Speaker 1: a big issue with Apple because it's still a very
Speaker 1: good device. Now there is wireless charging. There's no support
Speaker 1: for mag Safe, so that means you can't magnetically attach
Speaker 1: accessories to the back. But you can add this functionality
Speaker 1: through a case. It has to be a third party case.
Speaker 1: Apple came out with some of their own cases. They
Speaker 1: do not have mag Safe that they add. Also, the
Speaker 1: sixteen E supports slower wireless charging, so it's only seven
Speaker 1: and a half watch versus fifteen, which is the full
Speaker 1: speed charging on the iPhone sixteen models. Now there's no
Speaker 1: ultra wide bandship, which means, yes, you can still find
Speaker 1: your air tags and other items, it's just not going
Speaker 1: to lead you to them precisely. So yes, you can
Speaker 1: still locate stuff, but the ultra widebandship allows you to
Speaker 1: kind of your phone will tell you, hey, move over
Speaker 1: to the left, and it's two hundred feet away there.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: Also there's Wi Fi six versus the latest Wi Fi
Speaker 1: seven on the other iPhone sixteen models. But still this
Speaker 1: is a great value for an iPhone. Now the price
Speaker 1: is higher than before. The SEU was four hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars. This is five hundred ninety nine dollars.
Speaker 1: But I'm already seeing tons of deals. Verizons got this
Speaker 1: thing for like five bucks a month at and T
Speaker 1: and T MO will have it if you trade in
Speaker 1: a line completely free. But check the latest deals, because
Speaker 1: that's what this phone is all about. It's about value
Speaker 1: and getting you into the Apple ecosystem. It's for people
Speaker 1: that walk into an Apple store and say I don't
Speaker 1: care about the features. I just want a new phone.
Speaker 1: That's all I care about, and I want a good price.
Speaker 1: That's who they're going to sell this phone to. And
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're going to sell a lot of
Speaker 1: these things because by the time you get through all
Speaker 1: the features on it, you're saying, well, I've got the
Speaker 1: basics covered, what more do I need? And the person
Speaker 1: that's selling to you is gonna say, yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you need the three lenses, do you
Speaker 1: need the ultra wideband? Do you need the fastest WiFi?
Speaker 1: People are gonna say no, it's all fine. So this
Speaker 1: is a direct response to all of those inexpensive Android
Speaker 1: phones out there. And I think what Apple has done
Speaker 1: is they've reached such a scale with their business they're
Speaker 1: getting tough to beat. They make their own processors, everything
Speaker 1: performs really well. Now, they make their own modems, so
Speaker 1: every little breakthrough they have pays off for years to come.
Speaker 1: Not to mention, they also have stores in every major
Speaker 1: city around the world that you can walk into and
Speaker 1: get help with your phone, plus repair shops that fix
Speaker 1: your phone, plus successories. The iPhone sixteen E is five
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine dollars for a one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty eight gigabyte model. It's available Friday, February twenty eighth.
Speaker 1: Of course, when I get my hands on this thing,
Speaker 1: I will test it. I will give you my thoughts,
Speaker 1: but I think generally Apple is going to sell a
Speaker 1: lot of these phones. All right, coming up on the show,
Speaker 1: we are going to talk to you eight eight eight
Speaker 1: rich one O one eight eight eight seven four to
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. If you want to read
Speaker 1: some more of my thoughts on the iPhone sixteen e
Speaker 1: go to my website rich on Tech dot TV.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at Triple A rich one
Speaker 1: oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Just talking to Adam who's in
Speaker 1: for Bobo today. He was like, what's the deal with
Speaker 1: the always on display? So, just so you know, the
Speaker 1: always on display pretty much keeps your iPhone screen on
Speaker 1: at all times, like it's showing information like your latest notifications,
Speaker 1: the time, your widgets, and he's saying, does not use
Speaker 1: a lot of battery, and it's because these displays can
Speaker 1: be brought down to a very low refresh rate, like
Speaker 1: they're adjustable that it doesn't use much battery at all.
Speaker 1: Like I remember when they finally introduced the always on
Speaker 1: display with the iPhone and people are like, oh, that's there,
Speaker 1: goes the battery. But no, they seem to hold up.
Speaker 1: So if you want that feature, by the way, you
Speaker 1: do have to go with the sixteen Pro Max. That's
Speaker 1: not on the standard sixteen. And again it's not on
Speaker 1: the sixteen e either. Eighty eight Rich one O one
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.
Speaker 1: If you want notes to anything that I talk about
Speaker 1: on the show, just go to Rich on tech dot
Speaker 1: TV hit the light Bulb. I do take very good
Speaker 1: notes and I post them all there. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Wayne in Irvine, California.
Speaker 2: Wayne, you're on with.
Speaker 3: Rich him Rich, I have a big problem to hear
Speaker 3: this week. A few days ago, my Facebook account was
Speaker 3: suspended and I got a message and say, your Facebook
Speaker 3: account was suspended because your Instagram account and it has
Speaker 3: an Instagram account name, does not follow our rules.
Speaker 4: And it's not my account.
Speaker 3: I guess I've been hacked and as a result, because
Speaker 3: it didn't follow their rules. Whatever they did, they shut
Speaker 3: down my whole Facebook account. How do I get it back?
Speaker 1: This is this is a major problem, Wayan, and you know,
Speaker 1: I feel for you, number one, because it's very frustrating
Speaker 1: because you can't really get a hold of someone at Facebook.
Speaker 2: So this happened to me, but it wasn't It was
Speaker 2: a mistake.
Speaker 1: I was not hacked, just I don't know if I
Speaker 1: was targeted whatever from Facebook, but I but I mind
Speaker 1: all of a sudden went away. And the way I
Speaker 1: got it back was I tweeted and of course people
Speaker 1: see me and you know whatever, they ended up getting
Speaker 1: it back somehow miraculously. But for the rest of you
Speaker 1: that have to deal with the standard process of Facebook,
Speaker 1: it is not easy. So number one, you got to
Speaker 1: go to Facebook dot com slash hacked, and that is
Speaker 1: the place to go to get your account back. The
Speaker 1: way that they are taking over these accounts is many,
Speaker 1: many ways. So if you have a week password, obviously
Speaker 1: that's an easy one. The second way is they find
Speaker 1: your password online through all these data leaks and hacks
Speaker 1: and things, and they just try a bunch of them Facebook.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a couple of main websites out
Speaker 1: there right, Facebook, Instagram, x, Gmail, Yahoo, all of those
Speaker 1: accounts people are going to try when they find your
Speaker 1: user name and your password online. So if they find
Speaker 1: an email address that's got an email and a password,
Speaker 1: they're going to just go to these websites and try them.
Speaker 1: It's most of the time an automated system that's just
Speaker 1: trying many of them all at the same time. But
Speaker 1: sometimes they get in, like they did with your account.
Speaker 1: So once they get in, what are they doing? Why
Speaker 1: do they even want access to these accounts? They want
Speaker 1: access because these are legitimate accounts, And so all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, your account goes from sharing your puppy photos
Speaker 1: with your friends to now selling some crypto scam to
Speaker 1: your friends and texting all of them and saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I've got this great offer for you, and your friend
Speaker 1: is like, that's not typically like what Wayne is texting me,
Speaker 1: But I'll text them back because my friend Wayne. And
Speaker 1: then of course your friend realizes that it's not really you,
Speaker 1: it's a hacker, and the scam just continues and they
Speaker 1: it's a numbers game. So that's the number one place
Speaker 1: to go Facebook dot Com, slash hacked. It does take
Speaker 1: a while, you may get it back, you may not,
Speaker 1: but I know from experience it does take a long time. Now,
Speaker 1: the other thing people have had some success with is
Speaker 1: this thing called meta verified. So if you go through
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com slash hacked, you're not going to get
Speaker 1: a human right, You're just gonna go through an automated
Speaker 1: system over and over, keep trying. But meta verified you
Speaker 1: pay fifteen bucks a month to get verified, and then
Speaker 1: what happens when you pay that fifteen dollars a month.
Speaker 1: You now have access to a live human being who
Speaker 1: can help you get your account back. Now, we had
Speaker 1: this exact same issue last week, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: find my feedback here where I put this in. But
Speaker 1: let's see she ended up. We had Alison and Newport Beach.
Speaker 1: She got our business Instagram account taken down for violations.
Speaker 1: She knew what was not true. I told her about
Speaker 1: the meta verified program. She emailed me after the show saying,
Speaker 1: oh MG, it worked, my account was back. Thanks so
Speaker 1: much for your help. I'm on the hook for eleven
Speaker 1: ninety nine a month through meta but I'm happy to
Speaker 1: be part of their protection plan. So she got her
Speaker 1: account back instant, I mean almost instantly after she did this,
Speaker 1: so I told her, I said, look, you probably don't
Speaker 1: have to pay forever. Just pay for the first month,
Speaker 1: get your account back, get it up and running, secure
Speaker 1: your account, and then you can stop paying. And here
Speaker 1: is the most important takeaway for not only you, Wane,
Speaker 1: but every single person that has an Instagram or a
Speaker 1: Facebook account. Lock down your account with two factor authentication.
Speaker 1: So Google Facebook, two factor authentication, Instagram two factor authentication.
Speaker 1: That is what you need to do. So what happens
Speaker 1: is even if someone gets into your account with your
Speaker 1: username and your password, once they try to log in,
Speaker 1: it is going to text you a code and they
Speaker 1: are not going to have that code because it's going
Speaker 1: to go to your cell phone or your email address,
Speaker 1: and the hacker is going to be foiled because they
Speaker 1: don't have it. And when you get that code, you go,
Speaker 1: oh ooh, that's a problem. Why am I getting this
Speaker 1: code randomly? It's because someone's trying to get into your account.
Speaker 1: So please the takeaway use strong passwords, unique passwords, two
Speaker 1: factor authentication. That is the best way to authenticate and
Speaker 1: keep your account safe. An authentication app is better than
Speaker 1: a text message.
Speaker 2: But I'll take the text message, all right, Coming up,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to Titania Jordan of Bark.
Speaker 1: She's going to tell us how to keep kids safe online.
Speaker 1: My next guest is Titania Jordan. She's with Bark Technologies
Speaker 1: and a passionate advocate for keeping kids safe online. Her
Speaker 1: new book is called Parental Control. It teaches parents how
Speaker 1: to take back the reins and guide their kids toward
Speaker 1: a safer, healthier online experience. So you're with Bark Technologies,
Speaker 1: first off, tell me what Bark.
Speaker 2: Is all about.
Speaker 5: Sure, So, Bark helps keep kids safer online with our
Speaker 5: Safer smartphone for Kids, Safer smart watch for Kids, our app,
Speaker 5: our community. It's just it's been incredible to see the
Speaker 5: growth since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: What do you think kids and parents are up against
Speaker 1: on the Internet today, Well.
Speaker 5: Rich, you know just as much as I do about this,
Speaker 5: But for everybody watching and listening, it's a lot. Children
Speaker 5: are spending upwards of eight hours a day on connected tech.
Speaker 5: Their children, their parents have no frame of reference for
Speaker 5: these worlds like Snapchat and roadblocks and Minecraft, so parents
Speaker 5: are floundering. Kids are exposed to problematic content and people
Speaker 5: much younger than they should be, much more frequently than
Speaker 5: they should be, so it is truly a state of crisis.
Speaker 1: So when we hear these terms like Snapchat and roadblocks
Speaker 1: and all these other platform games and the things that
Speaker 1: kids are just doing and it's accepted shorts, are they
Speaker 1: really bad?
Speaker 6: Yes? Yeah? In short, yes, is everything bad all the time?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: But would you let it twelve year old drive a
Speaker 5: Lamborghini with no seat belt?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: Would you send a third grader into the woods to
Speaker 5: cut down a tree with a chainsaw?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: You know, there's really powerful tools that we all have
Speaker 5: at our disposal, smartphones and the Internet included, and when
Speaker 5: you give children unfiltered, unfettered, unmonitored access to the Internet,
Speaker 5: bad things are going to happen.
Speaker 6: It's the Internet.
Speaker 1: What do you think about the tools that tech companies
Speaker 1: themselves put out? Okay, I know it's a loaded questions,
Speaker 1: you know the answer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I will say the most promising parental controls that
Speaker 5: I have seen to date from any big tech company
Speaker 5: have been Instagram's teen accounts.
Speaker 6: Those are actually decent.
Speaker 5: Asterisk everything else that I have seen smoke and mirrors
Speaker 5: because the child can unlink it, or the parental controls
Speaker 5: aren't actually giving the parent any control or any meaningful insight.
Speaker 1: What are some of the worst offenders out there when
Speaker 1: it comes to what kids are exposed to on these platforms.
Speaker 2: Is it TikTok?
Speaker 1: Is it Instagram?
Speaker 2: Is it Roadblocks?
Speaker 6: If I have to.
Speaker 5: Pick one, like the number one top worst app for
Speaker 5: a child, including somebody under the age of eighteen an
Speaker 5: older teen, it's Snapchat.
Speaker 6: It's absolutely Snapchat, hands down.
Speaker 5: Snapchat was created for the whole premise of sending disappearing
Speaker 5: dudes right, not a place that kids need to be.
Speaker 5: It makes children think unrealistically that their photos and videos
Speaker 5: will disappear when we know that they are saved to
Speaker 5: a server or somebody else nearby can take a.
Speaker 6: Picture of it.
Speaker 5: It facilitates the sale and distribution of drugs that have
Speaker 5: fentanyl in it that have killed children. It creates too
Speaker 5: fomo and mental health issues. You know, if you're on
Speaker 5: snap maps, you see where all your friends are and
Speaker 5: you weren't invited.
Speaker 6: That does not feel good.
Speaker 1: And parents not blaming them, but I feel like they're busy,
Speaker 1: they don't understand all of the tools out there, and
Speaker 1: they just don't have the time, no to even get
Speaker 1: through what all of this means. So they let their kids.
Speaker 1: They hand the phone over, they hand the tablet, and
Speaker 1: the kids seem to be content.
Speaker 6: So is that where the problem occurs. That's a huge
Speaker 6: part of the problem.
Speaker 5: And anything that I am saying to you right now
Speaker 5: is not from a place of judgment. It's from a
Speaker 5: place of I have been there. My son is sixteen.
Speaker 5: I made all the mistakes. I let the iPad baby
Speaker 5: sit him, I let him have too much tech too soon,
Speaker 5: And I am pleading with you to please not make
Speaker 5: those same mistakes with your children, because it has very
Speaker 5: real physical and mental health ramifications.
Speaker 1: Tell me about the book, So why did you want
Speaker 1: to write a book and what do you hope to
Speaker 1: instill in the reader?
Speaker 5: I wrote this book because it's the book I wish
Speaker 5: I had Again. My son is sixteen, and starting when
Speaker 5: he was around three four five, I was faced with
Speaker 5: all of these issues around when to allow us access
Speaker 5: and seeing the problems it was causing with lighting up
Speaker 5: the pleasure shuner for his brain and him were responding
Speaker 5: in a way that I.
Speaker 6: Would never respond to my parents, you know, like wait what?
Speaker 5: And then I just started to realize and unpack all
Speaker 5: these things. And again I can't go back, but Hopefully
Speaker 5: those of you with younger children, or even children that
Speaker 5: are older, you have the opportunity to make a better
Speaker 5: choice today. And hopefully my book giving you the data
Speaker 5: for how to properly raise your child in this age
Speaker 5: when everything is completely nuts, can help you have a
Speaker 5: better relationship with your child, set your child up for
Speaker 5: success again physically, with more movement outside and mentally around just.
Speaker 6: Being a happier, more fulfilled human.
Speaker 5: If I had to give parents just one tip, right,
Speaker 5: maybe you don't like to read books, don't want to
Speaker 5: buy the book, that's totally fine, But I would say,
Speaker 5: and it's actually not one.
Speaker 6: I'm going to slip two in there. Two for one.
Speaker 5: One is just delay is the way you will not
Speaker 5: regret delaying giving your child access. And I can't claim
Speaker 5: responsibility for that quote. It comes from our friend Chris
Speaker 5: mckenn of protect young Eyes dot com. And then also
Speaker 5: just free tip, don't let your children have connected tech
Speaker 5: in the bedrooms behind closed doors overnight.
Speaker 6: You can avoid a lot of problems that way.
Speaker 1: Any warning signs parents should be aware of when their
Speaker 1: kids are either seeing too much, having too much, doing
Speaker 1: too much.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know when your child overreacts because you've said, okay,
Speaker 5: you've had enough. That's a clear warning sign that they
Speaker 5: are not able to self regulate. The tech is in
Speaker 5: control of them. They are not in control of the tech.
Speaker 5: So you have to work with them to help them
Speaker 5: understand that. Help them understand why there's a reason why
Speaker 5: they don't have unlimited access to a tub of ice
Speaker 5: cream at dinner, and there's a reason why they don't
Speaker 5: have unlimited access to Minecraft for seven hours on Saturday.
Speaker 5: You know warning signs that are even more severe and
Speaker 5: important to pay attention to anything involving sleep too much,
Speaker 5: not enough, diet too much, not enough grades? Are they
Speaker 5: dropping changes with friends and interest? There's an obviously normal
Speaker 5: amount of that as you grow, But if your child
Speaker 5: has completely withdrawn or seems agitated when certain people are around,
Speaker 5: just pay attention and trust your gut. We are given
Speaker 5: this gut feeling where we just we can sense something
Speaker 5: is off with your child. Do not be afraid to
Speaker 5: address it. And if your child won't talk to you,
Speaker 5: which is normal, that's okay. Don't be afraid to reach
Speaker 5: out to your child's pediatrician or school counselor, because unfortunately
Speaker 5: they are seeing a dramatic increase in issues with children,
Speaker 5: and they are best suited to help you address that.
Speaker 8: What was the.
Speaker 1: Biggest challenge you faced in writing the book? Any chapter
Speaker 1: that stands out to you, or any topic that you
Speaker 1: thought was really the most important.
Speaker 5: In this It was suggested to me that I share
Speaker 5: some of my personal stories growing up to help give
Speaker 5: the reader reference for why I do.
Speaker 6: This and why I care.
Speaker 5: So it was hard to talk about, you know, my
Speaker 5: childhood sexual abuse, or my own struggles with ideation and
Speaker 5: disorder eating. But I'm so thankful that I can share
Speaker 5: those things without shame, because that's how we help each
Speaker 5: other as by being real with each other. You know,
Speaker 5: I went on to have a very successful career and family,
Speaker 5: and I'm very happy and fulfilled and if I can
Speaker 5: overcome all of those things and be here with you today,
Speaker 5: like anyone can. So that was a challenge. And then
Speaker 5: also just the subtitle like how do you do this
Speaker 5: in a balanced way? You know, you can either give
Speaker 5: all the access and raise your hands up and say
Speaker 5: oh oh, or you can keep your kid in a bubble,
Speaker 5: have no internet and you know, live off the grid.
Speaker 5: Neither of those solutions work, So what is the right
Speaker 5: way the playbook, the task lisk for how to do
Speaker 5: this in a way that everybody is healthy and has balance.
Speaker 6: And that was hard.
Speaker 5: That was hard to land on because we are still
Speaker 5: figuring this out in real time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess my final question is can this
Speaker 1: be done? I mean, can parents have a good back
Speaker 1: and forth with their kids and their kids have a
Speaker 1: good relationship with tech?
Speaker 2: Is a possible?
Speaker 6: I really believe it is.
Speaker 5: I really believe it is because again tech is a tool,
Speaker 5: and our children can use the tech to create, to curate,
Speaker 5: to authentically connect with loved ones through FaceTime, you know,
Speaker 5: with Grandma who's across the country. We can use tech
Speaker 5: as a tool, but we have to remain in control
Speaker 5: of it. We have to have balance, and we have
Speaker 5: to be fully informed about things like addictive algorithms and misinformation.
Speaker 5: And is this an influencer? Is this just an organic post?
Speaker 6: You know? So we can?
Speaker 5: We absolutely can, And it starts with listening to Rich
Speaker 5: and I today and just just paying attention and those
Speaker 5: candid conversations with your children more frequently than you might think,
Speaker 5: and younger.
Speaker 6: Than you might think.
Speaker 1: Big thanks to Tatanya Jordan for joining me. Some great
Speaker 1: insights on how parents can help their kids navigate the
Speaker 1: online world. Her book Parental Control is available March eleventh.
Speaker 1: You can pre order it right now. It's definitely worth
Speaker 1: a read if you're looking to take charge of your.
Speaker 2: Child's digital life. I'll put a link on my website.
Speaker 1: On tech dot TV, more tech talk coming your way
Speaker 1: at triple eight. Rich one oh one, you are listening
Speaker 1: to Rich on tech. Let's go to Maureene in Burbank Marine.
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.
Speaker 9: Hi, thank you for taking that call. I love your show.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 9: I have gotten for the past week, and I think
Speaker 9: I know what's wrong. Now your iCloud subscription has expired
Speaker 9: and it click to renew and then it gives you
Speaker 9: all these plans. So I got it like almost every
Speaker 9: day now. Today when I was waiting for you to
Speaker 9: come on the line, I krised it again and Rebroot
Speaker 9: came up and said, you know, don't do it in
Speaker 9: red and everything. So I'm assuming this is a prank.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these have been going around and this is well,
Speaker 1: I mean, there is some truth to it, right because
Speaker 1: iCloud is a very popular service on a lot of
Speaker 1: iPhones and people do run out of storage all the time,
Speaker 1: and so they do get messages from Apple that say, hey,
Speaker 1: you need to upgrade or else you're gonna run out
Speaker 1: of space. But what I've talked about in the past
Speaker 1: on this show is that every scam artist takes what
Speaker 1: we typically get and what we know to be true,
Speaker 1: and they put some sort.
Speaker 2: Of devious twist on it.
Speaker 1: Right, So they take that same message that we get
Speaker 1: that we need sometimes hey you run out of vicloud,
Speaker 1: and they make their own and it looks convincing. But
Speaker 1: and I think this is really interesting that your program
Speaker 1: popped into action and said, hey, this is a bad link,
Speaker 1: like don't click this link. And so that's really smart
Speaker 1: that you had that protection. So I like that. But yes,
Speaker 1: so I think what you've experienced is the fact that
Speaker 1: you got a bunch of emails that are bogus and
Speaker 1: they are trying to get you to click a link
Speaker 1: and to hand over personal information, and not just hand
Speaker 1: over personal information, but probably steal your Apple log in,
Speaker 1: because what happens is they will present you with a
Speaker 1: page that looks like an iCloud log in, you will
Speaker 1: log in, and next thing you know, as soon as
Speaker 1: you log in, something's not going to be right, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna go, that's kind of weird. But they capture
Speaker 1: that username and that password immediately, and they will take
Speaker 1: that and they will hack you as soon as they can.
Speaker 1: And the other thing about this is that this is
Speaker 1: why I talk about two factor authentication. Because let's say
Speaker 1: you clicked on that page, you ignore all the warnings,
Speaker 1: you log in with your Apple ID and your password,
Speaker 1: and they take it and they try to log in.
Speaker 1: What will happen is it will say, oh, okay, someone's
Speaker 1: trying to log in. Let's send Maureen a text with
Speaker 1: her two factor authentication. Hey, someone's logging in in some
Speaker 1: other random country in the world. Do you want to
Speaker 1: approve this log in? If so, yes, and here's the
Speaker 1: code to approve that login. You'll see that and you'll go, oh,
Speaker 1: I just did something really bad. So we have to
Speaker 1: be aware of these scams. We have to be aware
Speaker 1: that these scam artists pose in ways that look like
Speaker 1: stuff that should be happening, but it's not real. So
Speaker 1: always check the return email address. Always hover over the
Speaker 1: link on an email that you get and look and
Speaker 1: see what that link is bringing you to. Most of
Speaker 1: the time it's a website that is either completely off
Speaker 1: base or it's a website with a URL that looks
Speaker 1: like the real thing but is not.
Speaker 2: So be very very careful.
Speaker 1: Now I will tell you, Maureen, you had this software
Speaker 1: kind of pop in and it must be scanning the
Speaker 1: links that you click to make sure that they are valid.
Speaker 1: So I will put a note about this. This is
Speaker 1: why I like using Google Chrome over Safari on the iPhone.
Speaker 1: So Google Chrome has this thing called Enhanced Browsing protection,
Speaker 1: and so what they're doing is they're actually scanning. It's
Speaker 1: called enhanced Safe browsing. So generally they have safe browsing
Speaker 1: is the default. Enhanced is a little bit more. But
Speaker 1: what happens is when you're on Google Chrome, any link
Speaker 1: that you go to, Google is scanning that link to
Speaker 1: make sure it is not malware, It is not a virus,
Speaker 1: it is not a phishing link. And they're doing that
Speaker 1: based on all the other people that are surfing the web.
Speaker 1: They kind of notice when these links pop up, and
Speaker 1: so they'll put a big red screen between you and
Speaker 1: that link and say, hey, other people or we figure
Speaker 1: that this link is bad and you'll get that screen.
Speaker 1: Now that does not happen on Safari unfortunately so on
Speaker 1: your iPhone. And I've done this just the other day.
Speaker 1: I was testing some links and I clicked the same
Speaker 1: exact link on Chrome on the iPhone and Safari on
Speaker 1: the iPhone. Safari brought me right to it, No problem,
Speaker 1: go ahead, take you go there, Chrome said, huh, hold on,
Speaker 1: you might want to think twice before you click this link.
Speaker 1: So I would say that's a little bit of a
Speaker 1: reason why it's better to use Chrome on the iPhone
Speaker 1: than Safari, which is built and free from from Apple. Now,
Speaker 1: the flip side is that Google, I guess their payment
Speaker 1: for all of this protection is taking more of your
Speaker 1: personal information as you surf the web, because Google's entire
Speaker 1: business is collecting data about you and what you do
Speaker 1: and where you serf and what you search, and then
Speaker 1: selling that against advertising, whereas Apple does not do that.
Speaker 1: So you are a little bit more private in your
Speaker 1: information on Safari on the iPhone versus Chrome, but you're
Speaker 1: giving up when something like this happens, And something like
Speaker 1: this could actually be more detrimental than them knowing that
Speaker 1: you're looking for a mattress or a new cooler or
Speaker 1: whatever you're searching for it that they're selling ads against so.
Speaker 2: Good question, Maureen.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you have your pictures backed up in nycloud or
Speaker 1: wherever you're backing them up and they're safe and sound,
Speaker 1: but be careful. I actually posted this on my Instagram
Speaker 1: and this is If you're not following me on Instagram,
Speaker 1: please follow me on Instagram.
Speaker 2: This is what I do.
Speaker 1: I post all of the latest scams that are happening
Speaker 1: so that you are aware of them. And some of
Speaker 1: them seem just way too too unreal, like who would
Speaker 1: fall for this stuff? Like yesterday I posted one about
Speaker 1: this brushing scam? Have you heard about this?
Speaker 2: People?
Speaker 1: Literally scam artists will send random packages to your house.
Speaker 1: These packages will come to your door, it'll have something
Speaker 1: in there of nominal value pair, socks, whatever, and there
Speaker 1: will be a QR code on the package and you're like,
Speaker 1: that's weird, Why did I get this package? Let me
Speaker 1: scan this QR code for more information. And that QR
Speaker 1: code may take you to a fake Amazon site. It
Speaker 1: may take you to a fake whatever site to try
Speaker 1: to get you to log in. And what are they doing?
Speaker 1: They're stealing your credentials? Now is this happening a lot?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure?
Speaker 2: Is it happening.
Speaker 1: Yes, brushing has been going on forever where these The
Speaker 1: original way they were doing it is they would send
Speaker 1: you a package, you would scan the link or whatever,
Speaker 1: and you would review the product. You'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: here's a free product, please review it on Amazon, and
Speaker 1: you say, oh, that's cool. But now they're doing this
Speaker 1: QR code. That's nefarious. So I posted that. I will
Speaker 1: tell you when I posted the iCloud warning that you
Speaker 1: were talking about, Maureen, this was a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Here it is.
Speaker 1: This was in January fourth. I posted about that and
Speaker 1: says immediate action required. Secure your iCloud account now before
Speaker 1: suspending iCloud subscription alert. And I explained why it's fake,
Speaker 1: and I said, look at the reply, look at the
Speaker 1: link when you hover over it update payment information.
Speaker 2: It's completely bogus.
Speaker 1: So again, if you're not following me on Instagram at
Speaker 1: rich on Tech, and you listening to a tech program
Speaker 1: like this, may say, rich come on, this stuff is
Speaker 1: like basic. But there are people out there, especially in
Speaker 1: your family, the less tech savvy folks, who may fall
Speaker 1: for this stuff. And that's why I share it to
Speaker 1: my Instagram so that you can share it to your
Speaker 1: Instagram stories and they can be alerted about it, or
Speaker 1: you can text them with it and say, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: just be.
Speaker 2: Aware of this.
Speaker 1: The more you are aware of these scams, the more
Speaker 1: you are just empowered to ignore them. And when you
Speaker 1: see them, you can spot them quickly. And that's what
Speaker 1: it's all about, all right about Facebook?
Speaker 2: Real quick?
Speaker 1: I got a message from uh let's see Summer said, hey,
Speaker 1: can you address Facebook's new policy on their intention to
Speaker 1: delete live videos after thirty days? Yes, starting February nineteenth,
Speaker 1: which is already passed, Facebook is going to automatically delete
Speaker 1: live video recordings thirty days after you live stream. So
Speaker 1: you can save your old videos by downloading them, sharing
Speaker 1: them as the reels, or transferring them. But if you
Speaker 1: have live videos older than thirty days, that's it. These
Speaker 1: are going away after ninety days. You can postpone an
Speaker 1: individual video by six months, but either save your live
Speaker 1: videos or they're going to go away. And in the future,
Speaker 1: if you have new ones, they're going away. Facebook says
Speaker 1: they're doing this because most people watch a live video
Speaker 1: within a couple weeks of it going live. Now, you
Speaker 1: know eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two.
Speaker 2: Four one zero one. Welcome back to rich on Tech.
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology at
Speaker 1: Triple eight Rich one oh one.
Speaker 2: That's eight eight eight.
Speaker 1: Seven four two four one zero one. The website for
Speaker 1: the show rich on Tech dot tv. If you want
Speaker 1: to send me an email, you can do it right there.
Speaker 1: If you want to submit your question that way. While
Speaker 1: you're there, be sure to sign up for my free newsletter.
Speaker 1: New issue went out this weekend, so be sure to
Speaker 1: read that all about the iPhone sixteen E. Speaking of Apple,
Speaker 1: coming up this hour, we've got Brandon Butch, tech YouTuber
Speaker 1: and writer at the Apple Den. He's going to talk
Speaker 1: about all things Apple this week, all the little announcements
Speaker 1: that they had. So we'll get on the line with
Speaker 1: him and talk big breakthrough this week from Microsoft. Now,
Speaker 1: this goes way over my head. It's quantum computing, but
Speaker 1: it seems like a big deal. This is a new chip,
Speaker 1: the Mayorana one. This is a groundbreaking quantum chip powered
Speaker 1: by a new material who invents a new material topo conductor.
Speaker 1: They say it's the biggest breakthrough in computing materials since silicon.
Speaker 1: The topo conductor, topological semic superconductor is not a solid
Speaker 1: liquid or gas. It's a new state of matter that
Speaker 1: scientists have theorized for about one hundred years, but hadn't
Speaker 1: achieved it until now. My friend I Justine, did a
Speaker 1: great video. She went up to Microsoft and did a
Speaker 1: video on this thing. And apparently this this new chip
Speaker 1: they made to work has to be in like a
Speaker 1: space that is colder than outer space, like in this
Speaker 1: kind of they put it in this chamber just to work.
Speaker 1: That's how wild this stuff is. So the main thing
Speaker 1: about this material is that a could drastically speed up
Speaker 1: quantum computing development, so cutting timelines from decades.
Speaker 2: To just a few years.
Speaker 1: And that means that these chips are so incredibly powerful
Speaker 1: they can solve complex problems faster, so things like energy, healthcare,
Speaker 1: and vironmental cleanup. So things like self healing materials, sustainable agriculture,
Speaker 1: advance chemical discoveries. Because they can compute this stuff so
Speaker 1: much faster, the timeline for figuring out these solutions is quicker.
Speaker 1: Now this is all theoretical at this point. I mean
Speaker 1: they came up with this chip and the material, but
Speaker 1: now they actually have to somehow use it, and so
Speaker 1: I think that's the next step here, but pretty wild
Speaker 1: the topoconductor based cubits cubits are with quantum bits. They
Speaker 1: are so small, one to one hundredth of a millimeter.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't get It's like, how do you
Speaker 1: even think about this stuff? We're talking about things you
Speaker 1: can't even see.
Speaker 2: Now, here's the whole thing with quantum computing.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of errors apparently in the quantum computing
Speaker 1: realm because of the way that these chips are designed.
Speaker 1: So when they're coming up with the calculations, apparently they
Speaker 1: have a lot of mistakes. And so the big thing
Speaker 1: that they've been trying to figure out is how to
Speaker 1: make less mistakes. And I guess Microsoft's breakthrough has much
Speaker 1: more error resistance and digital control for better performance. So
Speaker 1: it just sounds wild. I'm excited just because anything with
Speaker 1: these breakthroughs.
Speaker 2: We had Google.
Speaker 1: I talked about a breakthrough in quantum computing with Google
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago or a couple of months ago,
Speaker 1: and now we've got Microsoft. So again, the timeline for
Speaker 1: all of this stuff just continues to accelerate, and I'm
Speaker 1: here for it. Very very exciting. Let's go to Mark
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, Mark, you're on with Rich Rich you
Speaker 1: excited about quantum computing.
Speaker 4: Mark, I'm very excited about it. Maybe it'll solve my problems.
Speaker 4: I have two R low camera systems. I've had them
Speaker 4: for years and with the old app they've been great.
Speaker 4: I had to upgrade to the new app and the
Speaker 4: new app is just terrible and difficult and very complicated.
Speaker 4: I can't set the same schedules and alerts I do.
Speaker 4: Haven't paid subscription. However, the real problem, as I called
Speaker 4: Arlow customer service in India. I've spent hours on the
Speaker 4: phone with different people and they can't figure it out either. Well,
Speaker 4: that's a problem, don't know, you know, it's just too complicated.
Speaker 4: When I ask a question, they put me on a
Speaker 4: long hold and they come back with an answer that
Speaker 4: I know that they don't really understand. My question is
Speaker 4: is there a way to get back to the old app?
Speaker 4: They said no? Or is there a way to contact
Speaker 4: Arlow someone in the US to get like real answers
Speaker 4: like how do I make this all work?
Speaker 1: Well, the second question is a good one. I will
Speaker 1: reach out to Arlow and see what they say. But
Speaker 1: I think that have you asked for like an elevated
Speaker 1: customer service supervisor.
Speaker 2: Have you done that?
Speaker 4: Yes? And and someone is supposed to call me. They
Speaker 4: haven't yet, but I mean, you know, I think they
Speaker 4: probably will, but everybody, I mean, this is really it's
Speaker 4: kind of like the Saunos app. They've come up with
Speaker 4: a new app.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, Mark, don't get me started on it. I
Speaker 2: oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: I've had Sonos for since almost since day one, and
Speaker 1: my system I I can't. I used to not be
Speaker 1: able to speak high enough about Sonos. Now I don't
Speaker 1: think I could ever recommend it to someone because it's
Speaker 1: so terrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the app.
Speaker 1: I still cannot adjust the volume on all of my
Speaker 1: speakers at the same time.
Speaker 2: That is that is insane to me. This is something
Speaker 2: that is like, this is.
Speaker 4: Almost like the same thing.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 4: They have told me I do have two different locations,
Speaker 4: which was never a problem. One of the people said, well,
Speaker 4: maybe you have to get it by a second subscription,
Speaker 4: and I said, well I never had to before. And
Speaker 4: if that's the the the the goal of the new
Speaker 4: app is just to make more money, you know. One
Speaker 4: that's not very It doesn't make me happy, but it
Speaker 4: should have been disclosed that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So okay, so the main system, so your system doesn't
Speaker 1: do what it used to do anymore.
Speaker 4: Correct.
Speaker 1: Okay, now when it comes to the app. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't know how much. When did they update this app.
Speaker 4: It's like a couple of weeks ago. I think it's
Speaker 4: pretty recent.
Speaker 2: Do you have an Android or an iPhone?
Speaker 4: iPhone?
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's a problem. So so on Android, you
Speaker 1: you can go to websites called APK websites that will
Speaker 1: give you the actual old versions of apps. So in
Speaker 1: this case, if you wanted to go download the r
Speaker 1: low Secure from you know, a couple months ago, you
Speaker 1: might be able to find it on this like an
Speaker 1: APK website. There's one example is called APK mirror. Now,
Speaker 1: you got to be careful, and I'm talking to Android
Speaker 1: folks right now, because if you're downloading apk's that is,
Speaker 1: there could be room for viruses, malware, spyware, so you
Speaker 1: do have to be careful. But a lot of times
Speaker 1: Google will scan them. You know, in this the website
Speaker 1: that you're getting it from, as long as it's reputable,
Speaker 1: will scan it as well. So I'm just saying, proceed
Speaker 1: at your own risk. With I phone, that is not
Speaker 1: possible once iPhone upgrades, there's really no way to go back.
Speaker 2: There is not a system to do that.
Speaker 1: So for you, Mark, the problem is, how do you
Speaker 1: get these things to do what you need them to do,
Speaker 1: and what do you need them to do that they're
Speaker 1: not doing.
Speaker 4: It just to have two different systems, both easily accessible
Speaker 4: and to go ahead and set different schedules and alerts
Speaker 4: for both for either system.
Speaker 2: But they're in different locations.
Speaker 4: They are, But that was never ever a problem with
Speaker 4: the old app.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean so that I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know because I don't use our low so I don't
Speaker 1: really know why that changed. But I can understand that
Speaker 1: if you're looking trying to think, like with my standard camera.
Speaker 1: So if they're on two different Wi Fi networks, is
Speaker 1: that what I'm hearing here?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think that is.
Speaker 1: They probably said, like, look, if something's on one Wi
Speaker 1: Fi network, you can't manage it from the same place
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have to just to log in separately
Speaker 1: for each network. Now or do they all show up
Speaker 1: on the same app? They just you just can't control them.
Speaker 4: They all show up on the same app. But but
Speaker 4: you just now one of them no longer records and
Speaker 4: one of them can't be set and in general before
Speaker 4: actually that, the the app itself is just terrible in
Speaker 4: just in terms of how you you know, have to
Speaker 4: now do a very complicated setup what used to be
Speaker 4: a very easy thing. I just hate to have to
Speaker 4: buy another subscription when before I didn't have to. But
Speaker 4: but but I'm not sure that that's actually going to
Speaker 4: solve the problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, so what do you what do
Speaker 1: you need the subscription for for? What do you use
Speaker 1: that for?
Speaker 4: Uh, it's it's to record and uh, you know, to
Speaker 4: record any kind of camera alert camera video and it
Speaker 4: gives you your really good alerts. And you know, I
Speaker 4: don't mind paying for It's always functioned really well.
Speaker 1: Have you searched online for the r low app update?
Speaker 1: Are there people complaining about this?
Speaker 4: I went on the community. Yes they are complaining.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm looking at Reddit right now. There's a Do
Speaker 1: you know about the website Reddit Answers No? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I just searched. Reddit Answers is sort of like they're
Speaker 1: you know Reddit, right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, so Reddit Answers is sort of like their AI,
Speaker 1: and so it searches through all of the reddit forms
Speaker 1: without you having to.
Speaker 2: Do it and summarizes it.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, people are definitely having issues with motion detection,
Speaker 1: geo fencing, and scheduling the user interface. People are threatening
Speaker 1: to switch to different brands. Some people have found partial
Speaker 1: solutions by tweaking settings like motion sensitivity and redefining activity
Speaker 1: zones and third party solutions interesting. Seymour By prompt ai,
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know if I would recommend that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it sounds like Mark, the issues you're having
Speaker 1: are not unique to you. The best I can say
Speaker 1: is I will reach out to r Low and see
Speaker 1: what they kind of say if this is a more
Speaker 1: recent update, which just sounds like it is. Maybe they're
Speaker 1: still polishing things, But I would say my instinct is
Speaker 1: telling me that if you're saying it's tougher to manage
Speaker 1: the two different locations because of the subscription situation, it's
Speaker 1: probably because they want to push you to subscribe in
Speaker 1: more ways. And that's really and this is the sad
Speaker 1: part about all of the tech companies at this point
Speaker 1: is it used to be technology was unifying and empowering
Speaker 1: for the consumer, and now we are seeing a shift
Speaker 1: towards benefiting the company first, and that's always an issue
Speaker 1: and all these and it's all because of subscriptions. Once
Speaker 1: these companies got an idea that, by the way, we're
Speaker 1: not going to sell you a box of software once,
Speaker 1: we are now going to have you subscribe every month
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. Why would you not
Speaker 1: want that? And so it seems like every improvement quote
Speaker 1: unquote improvement we've seen with tech has always been pushing
Speaker 1: consumers towards that subscription for the stuff they really want.
Speaker 1: I think that might be what's going on here. Hopefully
Speaker 1: the app will get better over time. Eighty eight rich
Speaker 1: one O one eight eight eight seven four to two
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Coming up, I'll tell you about
Speaker 1: Google's new AI tool that helps you discover your next career.
Speaker 1: And Google's bringing one of their best Android features to
Speaker 1: iOS kind of sorta. I'll explain you are listening to
Speaker 1: rich on tech. Jace writes in on X Hey rich
Speaker 1: on Tech. I'm a visually impaired person and the home
Speaker 1: button on the iPhone is something I strongly value. With
Speaker 1: the sixteen E, it will take a lot of getting
Speaker 1: used to for me, and I would prefer still having
Speaker 1: my home button. I used to se three at the moment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, that is an interesting point, so it will
Speaker 1: take some getting used to.
Speaker 2: I think that you'll be able to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to be interesting, but it's it's good
Speaker 1: to have different perspectives. And Jase, thanks for that. Appreciate
Speaker 1: you writing in on that Google couple notable items. First off,
Speaker 1: Google is bringing one of their best features from Android
Speaker 1: to iPhone, but kindness sort is not going to work
Speaker 1: in the same way.
Speaker 2: If you've listened to me at all, you've heard me extol.
Speaker 1: The praises of Circle to Search on Android. I think
Speaker 1: this is the differentiator right now between Android and iPhone
Speaker 1: because anything on your screen on Android you can search,
Speaker 1: you can reverse search, you can circle whatever you need,
Speaker 1: you can search it.
Speaker 2: On iPhone you can't really do that.
Speaker 1: So there's times when someone posts a restaurant or a
Speaker 1: link or a phone number, whatever, and if it's not
Speaker 1: like something that is clickable, you can't do anything with it.
Speaker 2: But on Android you can.
Speaker 1: You just bring up Circle to Search and it will
Speaker 1: find the links, it will find the phone numbers, it
Speaker 1: will search the images, it will search the whatever you want,
Speaker 1: text translate things.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's quite miraculous. So anyway, in.
Speaker 1: iPhone there now bringing similar functionality, not calling it Circle
Speaker 1: to Search, but they're calling it Search Screen with Google Lens.
Speaker 1: And so if you want to try this out, this
Speaker 1: is on Chrome or the Google App. You don't have
Speaker 1: to screenshot anything. So in Chrome, tap the three dot
Speaker 1: menu and then selects Search screen with Google Lens. And
Speaker 1: in the Google App you can tap the three dot
Speaker 1: menu and choose search this screen. Uh So, it's not perfect,
Speaker 1: but it's a little bit better. And it's basically being
Speaker 1: billed as Google Lens but in a different way. But
Speaker 1: it's only going to work inside Chrome, which is fine
Speaker 1: if you're using Chrome as your browser and Google App,
Speaker 1: which is fine. It's a start, but the fact that
Speaker 1: this works across anything on Android is pretty incredible. And
Speaker 1: then Google launched a new tool called Career Dreamer. This
Speaker 1: is an AI powered tool from a grow with Google
Speaker 1: that basically lets you explore potential career paths based on
Speaker 1: your skills and also your background and your interests. So
Speaker 1: if you're in there thinking, gosh, I really kind of
Speaker 1: want a new job. Whatever I'm doing is not really working.
Speaker 1: But I've been a professor for twenty years and I
Speaker 1: want to try something new.
Speaker 2: Well, this tool basically has you go through a series of.
Speaker 1: Prompts saying, Okay, what are your skills, what's your current classification,
Speaker 1: what are your skills, what do you like to do,
Speaker 1: what's your background? And then it will come up with things,
Speaker 1: thanks to AI, that you may be good for. And
Speaker 1: it taps into job market data, so it's like basically
Speaker 1: finding stuff that is not a dead end, stuff that's growing,
Speaker 1: based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics and also job
Speaker 1: market data from light Cast. It can also help you
Speaker 1: make a resume a cover letter, but kind of cool
Speaker 1: if you want to try it out grow dot Google
Speaker 1: slash career Dreamer, grow dot Google slash career Dreamer and
Speaker 1: pop in your skills. See where you can go. I
Speaker 1: should have done this. I should have done this to
Speaker 1: see what it comes up with for me. That'd be fun.
Speaker 1: Let's see here.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Patrick in reading Patrick kay, uh, you're
Speaker 2: on with Rich?
Speaker 7: Hello Rich? Hey, I have ways wise security systems Okay,
Speaker 7: and I I bought two or one.
Speaker 2: I've got a heart out here, so I need a
Speaker 2: question real quick here, Sorry.
Speaker 7: I have I want to know how to connect two
Speaker 7: new cameras, but none necessarily Wise cameras. They can pan okay,
Speaker 7: because the Wise three pan doesn't have night vision, they
Speaker 7: can't fix it.
Speaker 2: So you want to connect them to what the Wise app?
Speaker 7: Or no, actually a separate app. Is there an app
Speaker 7: that I can connect Wise cameras to end it can
Speaker 7: be the cheap camera.
Speaker 2: No, you gotta you gotta use the separate apps.
Speaker 1: The only thing you could do possibly is bring them
Speaker 1: into something like Google Home app. You might be able
Speaker 1: to monitor several of them from there. But as far
Speaker 1: as I know, I've got a couple different cameras in
Speaker 1: my house and they're all on different apps. So if
Speaker 1: I want to look at I can look at the
Speaker 1: cameras from let's see here, I can look at all
Speaker 1: of my let's see here, Yeah, I can look at them.
Speaker 1: Let's see those are all Nest cams. Yeah, so it
Speaker 1: looks like you have to Yeah, you may be able
Speaker 1: to link them up through the the Google Home app
Speaker 1: to view them, but your best bet, Patrick is just
Speaker 1: going to be to use the separate apps, because you're
Speaker 1: going to get the the full uh, you know, the
Speaker 1: full features of all these different cameras through their own apps,
Speaker 1: their own respective apps. So, as far as I know,
Speaker 1: you can't just mix and match into one place. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's these these companies are building silos, right.
Speaker 1: They want you to use their app, they want you
Speaker 1: to have a subscription, they want you to have all
Speaker 1: the same thing. And I think that yes, you'll be
Speaker 1: able to do some of the functionality through the Google
Speaker 1: Home app if you have that per se, or maybe
Speaker 1: through the you know, the Home Kit, the Home on iOS,
Speaker 1: but I think for the most part you're gonna have to.
Speaker 2: Be stuck with the separate apps.
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna talk to Brandon Butch of the
Speaker 1: Apple Den about all announcements from Apple this week. Right
Speaker 1: here on rich on Tech, We've got Brandon Butch here,
Speaker 1: tech YouTuber and writer at the Apple Den. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the show, Brandon, Thanks for having me, Thanks for being here.
Speaker 1: So I'm here. I'm I'm here in a little echo
Speaker 1: here for some reason.
Speaker 2: So let's talk. First off, explain what you do.
Speaker 1: I met you at this Samsung event up in San
Speaker 1: Francisco and we hit it off. We were chatting and
Speaker 1: you know, learned about what you do. But tell me
Speaker 1: what you do exactly.
Speaker 10: Yeah, pretty ironic that we met at a Samsung event.
Speaker 10: I mostly do Apple content, so I've been doing that
Speaker 10: since two thousand and eight on YouTube, and I have
Speaker 10: a newsletter as well called the Apple Den where I
Speaker 10: write about Apple news every week, and that's just been
Speaker 10: my thing for a long time. Covered the iPhones, the software,
Speaker 10: pretty much anything to do with Apple products.
Speaker 1: So Apple big announcement this week obviously the new iPhone
Speaker 1: sixteen E.
Speaker 2: Uh what do you make of that?
Speaker 10: Yeah, So that was kind of a surprise because I
Speaker 10: think everybody went in expecting an SE four you know,
Speaker 10: kind of a continuation of the cheap budget model. So
Speaker 10: when Apple announced the price at five ninety nine, it
Speaker 10: was a little bit more than people are expecting. But
Speaker 10: I think we also got more than people are expecting
Speaker 10: with the sixteen E.
Speaker 8: So it's the first ever, you know, E model from Apple.
Speaker 10: And I personally view this more like an iPhone ten
Speaker 10: R from twenty eighteen compared to like an iPhone SE,
Speaker 10: So I don't really view it as an SE equivalent.
Speaker 10: It kind of is, but I view it more like
Speaker 10: the ten R because it has a lot of the
Speaker 10: you know iPhone fourteen design language with a lot of
Speaker 10: the more modern iPhone sixteen features, like you know, Apple Intelligence,
Speaker 10: which I think is a big deal, the action button,
Speaker 10: the O lead display is a big one because the
Speaker 10: iPhone ten R back in the day, the big you
Speaker 10: know drawback with that was the LCD display. So yeah,
Speaker 10: I think the sixteen E. It's priced at five ninety nine,
Speaker 10: it's two hundred dollars cheaper than the regular sixteen. It
Speaker 10: is missing some of the more advanced features, but I
Speaker 10: think this is targeted to people who just want to
Speaker 10: go into the Apple store. You know, hey, what's the
Speaker 10: cheapest iPhone you have? It's going to last me all
Speaker 10: day battery life. When they say five ninety nine, it's
Speaker 10: two hundred dollars cheaper than you know, the sixteen, but
Speaker 10: it still has the sixteen name in it. It's an
Speaker 10: easy sale.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that.
Speaker 1: That was my kind of thesis at the top of
Speaker 1: the show is that I think Apple is going to
Speaker 1: sell a ton of these.
Speaker 8: I think so too.
Speaker 10: I mean, if you look back at the iPhone ten
Speaker 10: R that was you know, everybody made fun of the
Speaker 10: iPhone ten R when that phone came out, you know,
Speaker 10: back in the day, and that.
Speaker 8: Sold extremely well for Apple.
Speaker 10: So I kind of view this as going down a
Speaker 10: more similar path to the as the iPhone ten R
Speaker 10: compared to like maybe the previous se models.
Speaker 1: What about this whole modem. I mean, they've got like
Speaker 1: an Apple built modem. I know, it was a big
Speaker 1: deal when Apple shifted away from the Intel chips and
Speaker 1: their computers to their own, and that's just been fantastic.
Speaker 1: Their computers have been so good ever since they did that.
Speaker 1: Is this bad for Qualcom?
Speaker 10: I think it is bad for Qualcom if you're you know,
Speaker 10: maybe an investor, But I think it's great news for
Speaker 10: Apple iPhones, especially moving forward. Maybe it'll show up in
Speaker 10: other things as well, but iPhones especially. I mean, we
Speaker 10: saw the big difference that makes just in battery efficiency
Speaker 10: for the first generation of this C one chip.
Speaker 8: So it's the C one modem.
Speaker 10: That's what it's called inside, and you know, eventually it's
Speaker 10: so it doesn't have millimeter wave, it doesn't have the
Speaker 10: super fast five G speeds just yet. But you know,
Speaker 10: most people, especially buying a base model iPhone, are not
Speaker 10: going to care or even know what that means.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, hold on, so explain that again, because I
Speaker 1: was I've seen that Apple keeps saying this is a
Speaker 1: five G modem. So first off, the phone will support
Speaker 1: four G right, correct, Okay, but it's not going to
Speaker 1: have that ultra wideband so like the like on Verizon.
Speaker 1: Let's say, when you get into those likely fast speeds
Speaker 1: when you get into a UW section or on T Mobile,
Speaker 1: I think they call it like UC so, will it
Speaker 1: not support those?
Speaker 10: Correct, Yes, it will not support those. That's called millimeter wave,
Speaker 10: and that's you know, one of Qualcomm's main benefits. So
Speaker 10: that's gonna mostly be and like you're really populated cities
Speaker 10: New York, California, like in the city, if you're in
Speaker 10: a more rural area, it's not gonna you probably never
Speaker 10: have seen that before on your phone.
Speaker 1: So oh when I see that, Brandon, I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: literally like downloading all of Netflix. When I see that,
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, baby, let's down. Let's do whatever
Speaker 1: we can to take advantage of this speed because some
Speaker 1: I mean I I think I've gotten like really really fast,
Speaker 1: like faster than home on some of those. Okay, so
Speaker 1: the sixteeny anything else that you think is notable that
Speaker 1: we should talk about with this device.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think one of the main things that I
Speaker 10: you know, quickly picked up on and a lot of
Speaker 10: people have mentioned this as well, is that there's no
Speaker 10: mag Safe support, so the magnets in the back. You know,
Speaker 10: a lot of people have the mag Safe wallets that
Speaker 10: they just stick on to the back their phone. That's
Speaker 10: not in the iPhone sixteen E. So that's a big
Speaker 10: drawback for a lot of people. Also for the wireless charging,
Speaker 10: you can wirelessly charge the sixteen e, but it does
Speaker 10: not support mag Safe, which enables faster wireless charging. So
Speaker 10: that's not the big deal. I think a lot of
Speaker 10: people are kind of upset that they can't use maybe
Speaker 10: their accessories that they had. However, you can buy cases
Speaker 10: with magnets in it, so it's not a complete lost
Speaker 10: cause it's just not in the phone itself.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: And the other thing is the face ID. You know,
Speaker 1: of course on my Facebook page, you know where rumored
Speaker 1: speculation runs rampant. People commented, oh we face ID is
Speaker 1: you know your face biometrics are instantly sent to the cloud.
Speaker 1: Now I know that not to be true because it's
Speaker 1: stored on device, but just can you go over fact,
Speaker 1: like what the difference is between face ID and the
Speaker 1: touch ID is it as secure.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's more secure because touch ID, you know,
Speaker 10: you can take somebody's finger. If somebody were to do
Speaker 10: something crazy and you know, have your finger without you knowing,
Speaker 10: they can unlock your phone, whereas face ID there's a
Speaker 10: setting where you have to be actually have your eyes
Speaker 10: open and looking at the camera, So if you were
Speaker 10: knocked out or something and somebody couldn't just put the
Speaker 10: phone up to your face and unlock it. So I
Speaker 10: think face ID is a lot more secure than touch ID.
Speaker 1: So the other headline that of course a lot of
Speaker 1: people are sharing online is this whole cloud encryption change
Speaker 1: in the UK. Right, so Apple has this setting where
Speaker 1: they can you can super encrypt anything that you send
Speaker 1: to the cloud that nobody can tap into and out.
Speaker 1: Now they're getting rid of that in the UK, not
Speaker 1: in the US, just in the UK. Does that mean
Speaker 1: that Apple's looking at your stuff and the government's looking
Speaker 1: at your stuff?
Speaker 2: And how big of a deal do you think that is?
Speaker 10: Yeah, So just a little backstory here real quick. So,
Speaker 10: so the UK government basically demanded Apple to create a
Speaker 10: backdoor to allow the government to in view to view
Speaker 10: that encrypted user data globally. So they were trying to
Speaker 10: pitch a back door that would allow the government to
Speaker 10: view everybody's data, including those in the US. So Apple
Speaker 10: of course denied creating that backdoor, and instead they just
Speaker 10: decided to pool the end to end encryption for iCloud
Speaker 10: storage in the UK, which is called Advanced Data Protection.
Speaker 10: So basically, now British user files like the iCloud backup
Speaker 10: files will be accessible to Apple, so they'll be able
Speaker 10: to be shared with law enforcement if they have a warrant,
Speaker 10: things like that. Now, I do not see this happening
Speaker 10: in the US whatsoever. The UK has been you know,
Speaker 10: pushing back against end end encryption for years now for
Speaker 10: some reason, so this is kind of bound to happen
Speaker 10: at some point.
Speaker 8: But yeah, I don't see this happening in the US
Speaker 8: at all.
Speaker 1: How long before Apple just says, you know what, UK,
Speaker 1: We're now longer going to do business here. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're changing every aspect of how Apple wants to do
Speaker 1: business when it comes to privacy and security by opening
Speaker 1: up the phone. You know, they made them change to USBC,
Speaker 1: which I do like. But still, you know, they opened
Speaker 1: up the app store, the payment method is like all
Speaker 1: this stuff that's just like a thorn and apple side.
Speaker 1: How much more can they deal with before they just say,
Speaker 1: you know what, Europeans, you can't have the iPhone.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, it's such a big market for them
Speaker 10: that I don't see that happening. I think they'll continue to, like,
Speaker 10: you know, maybe remove features and things like this to
Speaker 10: kind of, you know, find a middle ground. But the
Speaker 10: thing is a lot of these EU changes where a
Speaker 10: lot of people are against it at first, but now
Speaker 10: fast forward years later, most people are kind of happy,
Speaker 10: you know that they kind of forced Apples hand and
Speaker 10: doing things like USBC and some of the other ones.
Speaker 10: This is the first one that I think, just globally
Speaker 10: is just like a bad idea for them, like to
Speaker 10: even pitch in the first place.
Speaker 1: Okay, we've got about a minute left, so I'm going
Speaker 1: to leave it to you. Is there any other I
Speaker 1: sent you a whole bunch of topics that I wanted
Speaker 1: to touch upon. Is there anything else that you want
Speaker 1: to touch upon that you know we haven't yet?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean Vision US two point four. I know
Speaker 10: there's probably twelve people out there with an Apple Vision
Speaker 10: pro right now, but you know, Vision of US two
Speaker 10: point four is a massive software update that's going to
Speaker 10: bring a lot of big features to the Vision Pro,
Speaker 10: things like Apple Intelligence supports a companion app for the iPhone,
Speaker 10: kind of like with the Apple Watch. So you're gonna
Speaker 10: have an app on your phone where you can have
Speaker 10: an improved guest mode. You can kind of see what
Speaker 10: the person is seeing in the Vision Pro from your
Speaker 10: iPhone via airplay, which is really cool. So I just
Speaker 10: think it's gonna Apple's gonna continue working on the Vision
Speaker 10: Pro despite the you know, not very many sales of that,
Speaker 10: They're still continuing to build it out.
Speaker 8: You have to be something great, will there be?
Speaker 2: I mean, is there a future for the Vision Pro.
Speaker 8: I think there is. I think we're still ways away.
Speaker 10: I think the weights and obviously just the infrastructure, it's
Speaker 10: still in its infancy. We're only on the second version. Ever,
Speaker 10: It's like going back to iPhone when it was iPhone
Speaker 10: OS two. We're now on eighteen, you know, sixteen years later,
Speaker 10: so I kind of see it following a similar path
Speaker 10: where it's going to take quite some time.
Speaker 2: All Right, Brandon Butch, thanks for joining me today.
Speaker 8: Thank you appreciate it, all right, follow him.
Speaker 1: The Appleden dot com, The Appleden dot com. He's got
Speaker 1: a newsletter, he's got information. He's also on YouTube, so
Speaker 1: find him. Brandon Butch, great source of Apple information. Appreciate
Speaker 1: you being on the show today. Link on my website.
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot TV. Coming up, we'll take more
Speaker 1: of your calls at Triple eight rich one oh one
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you the app you have
Speaker 1: to get on your phone if you want your pictures
Speaker 1: to look their best, especially if you post them to
Speaker 1: social media. This is rich on Tech. Did a segment
Speaker 1: this week. You know, I'm also on TV on KTLA
Speaker 1: five in Los Angeles, so I do TV segments, so
Speaker 1: you can watch those on YouTube, also on my website.
Speaker 1: But this week I talked to Jefferson Graham. He's a
Speaker 1: friend of the show. He's been on a bunch. He
Speaker 1: was a tech journalist at USA Today for many years now.
Speaker 1: He has a show called Photo Walks TV, and he
Speaker 1: shared some of his top photography tips and number one
Speaker 1: start out. I know these sounds simple, but you'd be surprised.
Speaker 1: Charge your phone, clear out your storage. Two things I
Speaker 1: know seems like a given, but I've seen I've been
Speaker 1: at the plays and the recitals for my kids, the
Speaker 1: holiday shows, and I've watched the phone's in front of
Speaker 1: me with that dreaded screen that says boop, you're out
Speaker 1: of storage, and people are sitting there scrambling to delete
Speaker 1: things out of your phone. And by the way, if
Speaker 1: that happens to you, the easiest thing to delete a
Speaker 1: couple of large videos.
Speaker 2: He also says, clean your lens. This is a big one.
Speaker 1: You have no idea how many people say, hey, rich
Speaker 1: or they just come up to me, hey, can you
Speaker 1: take a picture? You know, you're at a restaurant or something,
Speaker 1: and you know, you go to take a picture with
Speaker 1: their phone, and it's like the smudgiest, looks like there's
Speaker 1: vasoline on the lens. So the first thing you gotta
Speaker 1: do is clean your lens.
Speaker 2: He also likes the iPhone.
Speaker 1: After you know, trying shooting with the iPhone Samsung Pixel,
Speaker 1: he actually prefers the iPhone for its natural colors. And
Speaker 1: then he mentioned a couple of apps that he likes.
Speaker 1: Number one, Adobe light Room Mobile. I said, well, doesn't
Speaker 1: that have a subscription. No, you can use a lot
Speaker 1: of the features without subscribing, So I downloaded that Adobe
Speaker 1: light Room mobile. He likes this de haze tool, so
Speaker 1: it makes the skies look better. So you take a
Speaker 1: sky and it just you kind of use that the
Speaker 1: haze tool and it just kind of brings out the sky,
Speaker 1: makes it look a lot better. He also likes the
Speaker 1: black Magic Camera app for taking time lapses. He says
Speaker 1: that the iPhone sort of doesn't let you change any
Speaker 1: of the settings with time lapses. I think he says,
Speaker 1: they'd limit them to it like thirty seconds. But if
Speaker 1: you get one of these apps, a third party app
Speaker 1: like black Magic, you can.
Speaker 2: Do whatever you want with your time lapses.
Speaker 1: And then he likes the Halid app, which has an
Speaker 1: anti AI mode, So if you want to take a
Speaker 1: photo without any AI, Halid will let you do it.
Speaker 1: There's also another one called Zerocam, which I think you
Speaker 1: have to pay ten dollars. I think I paid for that,
Speaker 1: but you have to It takes pictures without any AI.
Speaker 1: So that's called zero Cam. He didn't mention that. I'm
Speaker 1: mentioning that. But the app that if you download one
Speaker 1: thing that I'm talking about, it's called Radiant Photo. Our
Speaker 1: adat Radiant Photo. Again, all these apps are like freemium.
Speaker 1: You download them. They want you to pay, but you
Speaker 1: don't really have to. You can get a lot of
Speaker 1: the functionality. But this Radiant Photo I'm not kidding. I'm
Speaker 1: hesitant to even share it because I feel like it's
Speaker 1: my secret weapon. It literally perfects your photo with not
Speaker 1: even a tap. You know, all you have to do
Speaker 1: is put the photo into it and it will just
Speaker 1: automatically look at the scene, sense what you're trying to show,
Speaker 1: and it will just perfect it. Like if it's someone's face,
Speaker 1: if it's a portrait photo, if it's a landscape, it
Speaker 1: just somehow does a really nice job of identifying what
Speaker 1: that picture is and making it better. So Radiant Photo
Speaker 1: iOS Android. Yes, they may try to get you to
Speaker 1: subscribe or pay, but you don't have to. I've been
Speaker 1: using it for six months, no payment, and it's worked
Speaker 1: every time. I basically any picture that I upload to
Speaker 1: social media, I'll just put in there and just kind
Speaker 1: of one tap and it's perfect.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Randy. Randy, you're on with Rich.
Speaker 11: Hi Rich, I enjoy your show.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you well, I enjoy doing it.
Speaker 11: I'm not super tech savvy, but I wanted to ask
Speaker 11: your opinion, if you could just keep it as basic
Speaker 11: language as possible. I have an iPhone eleven and I
Speaker 11: deleted a video about a year ago, and I regret
Speaker 11: doing that. And I've struggled and agonized over finding apps
Speaker 11: that will recover deleted and lost photos and videos, and
Speaker 11: I'm just totally dumbfounded by them. I did look in
Speaker 11: my iPhone backup. It's gone. There is there any specific
Speaker 11: app that you would recommend that would do the job,
Speaker 11: or is it permanently gone?
Speaker 1: A video on the iPhone that you deleted a year ago,
Speaker 1: it is gone. So I hate to say that, but
Speaker 1: there are there's not an app that can bring it
Speaker 1: back on the iPhone, let's put it that way. But
Speaker 1: are there some avenues that you can explore? So Number one,
Speaker 1: did you have this backed up in any way, shape
Speaker 1: or form to any app?
Speaker 11: No other than the iCloud. I'm not even sure if.
Speaker 1: It was, well, it wasn't back it was not, okay search.
Speaker 1: What about a backup of your phone? Did you ever
Speaker 1: have a backup of your phone?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: No, okay.
Speaker 1: So with those two things, so there's a couple of
Speaker 1: ways that you know a photo could be still around.
Speaker 1: Number one, when you delete a picture on your iPhone,
Speaker 1: it does linger for about thirty days in a special folder.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you've checked this, but it's called recently deleted.
Speaker 1: Have you seen that one?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So with the latest iOS, they did add
Speaker 1: a feature where you have to authorize your phone before
Speaker 1: you can look at it. But on my phone, it's
Speaker 1: showing me, yeah, twenty nine days until it deletes the
Speaker 1: last photo, and it gives you a little countdown for
Speaker 1: each picture.
Speaker 2: So that's the first place to look.
Speaker 1: And Randy, even though you may not be able to
Speaker 1: get this back sadly, I am just going to go
Speaker 1: through these these suggestions so that if someone is dealing
Speaker 1: with something similar, maybe they deleted a photo by accident,
Speaker 1: these are the places they could potentially look. So that's
Speaker 1: number one, the recently deleted, and both iPhone and Android
Speaker 1: have a version of that, So that's the first place
Speaker 1: to check. The second place is an online backup. So
Speaker 1: I always recommend that you back up your photos. I
Speaker 1: understand for privacy concerns or other reasons, you may not
Speaker 1: want to do that, but I always recommend doing that.
Speaker 1: That could be through iCloud, that could be through Google Photos,
Speaker 1: that could be through one drive, it could be through iedrive.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many different ways of backing up.
Speaker 1: If you're an Amazon Photo, if you're an Amazon Prime member,
Speaker 1: they offer free unlimited photo backup at full resolution for
Speaker 1: their Prime members. Now as long as you're paying for Prime,
Speaker 1: right even if you stop paying, they'll give you a.
Speaker 2: Certain amount of time to download it.
Speaker 1: So those are little avenues to backup photos if you
Speaker 1: don't want to pay a lot. The other place to
Speaker 1: look is a full phone backup. So when you back
Speaker 1: up your phone, it you know, if you have an iPhone,
Speaker 1: it's backing up to iCloud like the entire phone. Even
Speaker 1: if you have iCloud photos turned off, it's still backing
Speaker 1: up a copy of your entire phone to the cloud.
Speaker 2: So you may be able to go in there use
Speaker 2: a program like I.
Speaker 1: Amazing to extract that photo out of that backup, or
Speaker 1: you can restore that backup to another iPhone or your
Speaker 1: or your current iPhone and get that photo back. The
Speaker 1: other place to look, of course is iCloud. And if
Speaker 1: you're wondering like okay, this is on my phone?
Speaker 2: Is it not on my phone?
Speaker 1: You can always go to iCloud dot com and check
Speaker 1: to see if the picture is there.
Speaker 2: But those are the avenues, Randy.
Speaker 1: There is not a way to find that video that
Speaker 1: I know of, unless someone emails me something different that's
Speaker 1: been deleted a year ago. Because after a year, you know,
Speaker 1: no matter what, that thing is pretty much gone. The
Speaker 1: only thing I can think of is if it's something
Speaker 1: important in the future, you can upload it to YouTube
Speaker 1: as a private video for free. Dropbox gives you two
Speaker 1: gigs of storage. I believe for free. Most of the
Speaker 1: main service providers will give you a couple of gigs
Speaker 1: of storage completely free. I'm sorry this happened to you.
Speaker 1: Please back up your photos or put something that you
Speaker 1: need to keep in a safe place. Eight and eight
Speaker 1: rich one on one eight eight eight seven four to
Speaker 1: two four one zero one more rich on Tech.
Speaker 2: Come your way after this.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology. Oh we got a whole
Speaker 1: nother hour here. Yeah, uh coming up this hour, Facundo
Speaker 1: holds my stir from how two men. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: some cool hidden Android apps. Get ready for some must
Speaker 1: download recommendations. Yes, he does a great job with these.
Speaker 1: Every every time I watch every month he's got a
Speaker 1: YouTube video with like all these like android apps. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's see what he's got this month. There's
Speaker 1: always like a couple of them on there that I
Speaker 1: download immediately because they're so good. So he's going to
Speaker 1: join us in a little bit to talk about that. Uh,
Speaker 1: we'll get to the phone lines in just a second.
Speaker 1: I see there, holding on, We'll get back to those.
Speaker 1: But I did want to tell you real quick about
Speaker 1: the Google TV app. So I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm always trying to like get a hold
Speaker 1: of all the things that are on streaming. I subscribe
Speaker 1: to like ten thousand different services, and it's when you
Speaker 1: sit down to actually watch something, you're like, now, what
Speaker 1: to watch, and you're jumping through every single app trying
Speaker 1: to see what's new.
Speaker 2: It's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: And so I've tried all the different apps to kind
Speaker 1: of keep track of the different shows, and they're all
Speaker 1: good in different reasons.
Speaker 2: You know, you've got like.
Speaker 1: Real good, ore eel good, You've got just watched Those
Speaker 1: are probably two of the most popular. Then there's Letterboxed,
Speaker 1: which is just for movies, and then you've got Google
Speaker 1: TV and then Apple TV, those two apps that can
Speaker 1: also keep a watch list. Now, I'll tell you why
Speaker 1: I've kind of come to love the Google TV watch list.
Speaker 1: It's because I don't know, I think it's like the best. Now, Basically,
Speaker 1: if you download the app, which is available for iPhone
Speaker 1: or Android, anytime you are on Google, you just search
Speaker 1: for a movie, right, so let's search for Paddington, the
Speaker 1: new one, Paddington in Peru. So if you search for
Speaker 1: a movie, you might have noticed it says want to
Speaker 1: watch or already watched. So that's how you add things
Speaker 1: to your list. You just say want to watch and boom,
Speaker 1: it will add it to this app. You can also
Speaker 1: do it inside the app, but once you have it,
Speaker 1: now you have your watch list. So I've got all
Speaker 1: these movies on my watch list, and what I like
Speaker 1: about it. You've got a couple toggles. You've got movies
Speaker 1: and then shows.
Speaker 8: You can just.
Speaker 2: Sort that way.
Speaker 1: But then you also have free so you tap that
Speaker 1: and it will tell you the stuff that's streaming for
Speaker 1: free on your services that you subscribe to. So you
Speaker 1: go into the settings of the app and you say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got Amazon Prime, I've got Hulu, I've got you
Speaker 1: know whatever, Disney Plus, and it will show you just
Speaker 1: the movies on your watch list that are streaming quote
Speaker 1: unquote free. Now, it's funny that they use the word
Speaker 1: free because it's not free technically, but that's what I
Speaker 1: always say, like, oh, we got a free movie tonight,
Speaker 1: because I'm paying for Prime Video.
Speaker 2: We just watch something that's free.
Speaker 1: Now, I would say the preferred way of describing it
Speaker 1: is streaming included in your services, right, but they use
Speaker 1: the toggle free, which I think is smart. So anyway,
Speaker 1: the other thing I like about it is you can
Speaker 1: see immediately when you look at the video or you
Speaker 1: look at your watch list, it says where it's streaming
Speaker 1: right underneath it. And then it also gives you the
Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes rating. I know that's become like the gold
Speaker 1: standard for everything. So if you go into the movie,
Speaker 1: you can get more information. You got your watch list.
Speaker 1: You can like it, you can dislike it. It's got all
Speaker 1: the different ratings. You've got common Sense media, you've got IMDb,
Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes, metacritics. You can kind of cross reference, depending
Speaker 1: on you know, is it important what the common Sense
Speaker 1: rating is versus IMDb whatever you like, it's on there,
Speaker 1: and it also has related movies. It's got stories about
Speaker 1: the movie, and of course it tells you where you
Speaker 1: can watch it, so some of these things you can
Speaker 1: watch on different services. It'll tell you all the different
Speaker 1: services that it's on. So I think it's like one
Speaker 1: of the best apps out there. Whether you're on Android
Speaker 1: or iPhone, it works equally well. If you happen to
Speaker 1: have a TV with Google TV software, it integrates really nicely,
Speaker 1: just like Apple TV. He does on Apple TV. But
Speaker 1: the problem with the Apple TV app if you use
Speaker 1: that as your watch list. A it's proprietary, which you
Speaker 1: know I don't like. But b nothing on Netflix is included.
Speaker 1: So if there's like a Netflix show, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to watch list it on
Speaker 1: your Apple TV app. Let's see if Netflix is on here.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me just make sure before I say this.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah it is. Netflix is included on here as well.
Speaker 1: So although it's interesting, it says that title is not
Speaker 1: currently available, so you can watch list it, but.
Speaker 2: It may not interesting. Tell yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe it does work with Netflix in like a weird way,
Speaker 1: but it's on there anyway, if you're looking for a
Speaker 1: way to keep track of all your streaming stuff, Google
Speaker 1: TV app, download it iOS Android. I'm finding it very,
Speaker 1: very handy, and the only thing I don't like is
Speaker 1: that you can't sort your list in any way, shape
Speaker 1: or form. So the other one's like real good and
Speaker 1: just watch. Lets you sort your list by rating time,
Speaker 1: you know, genre title. You can't do any of that here.
Speaker 1: There's no sorting on this list except for movies, shows,
Speaker 1: and free. That's it. So it's all limited in that way.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mark and Wineka Mark, you're on with Rich.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'd like to preface by saying I'm bit of
Speaker 12: a browser freak. I have five of them permanently on
Speaker 12: my task bar here. I've noticed over the last year
Speaker 12: plus that a lot of the financial companies airlines, banks, etc.
Speaker 12: Are pushing us into the Chrome.
Speaker 4: Browser over others.
Speaker 12: I love the slim browser and the Firefox is my favorite.
Speaker 12: The so customizable Brave is a good one as well.
Speaker 12: But do you have any thoughts on that, Rich, It
Speaker 12: seems like there's a concerted effort to push us into
Speaker 12: the Chrome browser, sir.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think this comes down to it comes
Speaker 1: down to market share. So let's see, let's see web browser.
Speaker 1: Let's just see if we can market share twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: So let's just see what the mark shares of the
Speaker 1: various web browsers. So with anything else, it comes down to,
Speaker 1: you know, these companies have to maintain a certain level
Speaker 1: of privacy, security updates that work with various browsers. And
Speaker 1: so if we look at desktop, Chrome is sixty six percent,
Speaker 1: followed by Edge at twelve percent, followed by Safari at
Speaker 1: nine percent. Yeah, so when you look at that, Opera
Speaker 1: and Firefox have two percent and three percent worldwide, that's
Speaker 1: pretty small. So if you are a bank, your Chase Bank,
Speaker 1: you are American Express, you are email companies, whatever, what
Speaker 1: are you optimizing for? You are optimizing for the market leader.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why we're seeing this emphasis on Chrome,
Speaker 1: because it is it commands such a lead.
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying that Firefox is bad.
Speaker 1: I think that Firefox and many ways is interesting because
Speaker 1: they've been promoting more of a fair and open web
Speaker 1: and more privacy.
Speaker 2: And you know, this is a company that.
Speaker 1: I think, from what I'm reading on the history, this
Speaker 1: was born out of Netscape. So It's got deep roots
Speaker 1: in the web community. But it reminds me of the
Speaker 1: days of Internet Explorer, when that was king of the Internet,
Speaker 1: and you would go to a website and it would say, sorry,
Speaker 1: this website is optimized for Internet Explorer, and you'd be like, really,
Speaker 1: I'm using you know, this was when Chrome first started.
Speaker 2: You'd be like, wait, really, come on, I'm using Chrome.
Speaker 1: And so you didn't get certain functionality because of that,
Speaker 1: And we see this on mobile. If you look at
Speaker 1: mobile now, this is interesting. It says for mobile devices,
Speaker 1: Chrome leads with sixty eight percent, Safari follows at twenty
Speaker 1: three percent. Now, I'll be honest, the only reason Safari
Speaker 1: has any percentage like that is because the iPhone is
Speaker 1: so popular and Safari for many many years was the
Speaker 1: only default you could have on the iPhone, so people
Speaker 1: just use that because of it. Now you can set
Speaker 1: Chrome as a default. But also Android has such a
Speaker 1: large market share worldwide that that makes sense why Chrome
Speaker 1: is is almost seventy percent of the mobile share. But again, Mark,
Speaker 1: it really comes down to the fact that companies want
Speaker 1: to make life easy for themselves, and if seventy percent
Speaker 1: of people are using Chrome, then they're going to optimize
Speaker 1: their websites and security features for Chrome. And you know,
Speaker 1: I've come up against this in certain websites where it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you should switch to this or use that,
Speaker 1: or if you even look at let's just look at
Speaker 1: if you go to like Chase Bank recommended browser, you
Speaker 1: know it'll say, here's what we recommend system requirements.
Speaker 2: Right, so they've got for.
Speaker 1: The best experience on Chase dot com and enhance your
Speaker 1: security against fraud. Be sure your web browser and operating
Speaker 1: system meet the requirements recommendations in the table below. You
Speaker 1: can upgrade to the latest browser by using these lanes. Chrome, Safari,
Speaker 1: Firefox Edge. Some features and functions may not operate properly
Speaker 1: with unsupported browser versions. We don't support beta or development versions.
Speaker 1: We don't support browsers in compatibility mode. We don't support
Speaker 1: third party browser.
Speaker 2: Extensions or plugins. So again, they.
Speaker 1: Want to make sure that you are secure, and that's
Speaker 1: why they support these. So I don't think that Firefox
Speaker 1: is necessarily bad, and I think it still is a
Speaker 1: very reliable browser and I don't see any problem with it.
Speaker 1: For me personally, it always comes down to whenever I
Speaker 1: try to switch away from Chrome, there's always some tiny
Speaker 1: little feature that I've come to rely on on Chrome
Speaker 1: that I just can't get away from. I will tell
Speaker 1: you I downloaded the Opera Air browser the other day,
Speaker 1: which is fantastic, and it's built on Chromium, which is
Speaker 1: the Chrome web browser at its heart. It's built on
Speaker 1: similar technology, so you can get the extensions and things,
Speaker 1: or at least I think it's built on Chromium. Don't
Speaker 1: quote me on that. Don't send me the emails, please,
Speaker 1: I will fact check that. Let's see browser identification Mozilla
Speaker 1: five point anyway, maybe it's not. Oh it is Chromium,
Speaker 1: Yes it is. Okay, there you go, send me the emails.
Speaker 1: But they have this great feature where they have chat
Speaker 1: GBT in the sidebar built into the browser, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: And then they also have little music like focus music.
Speaker 1: They call them boosts, so you can literally just play
Speaker 1: music on your browser that helps you be more creative,
Speaker 1: more energized, more relaxed.
Speaker 2: So it's really cool. But again, can I switch to it?
Speaker 13: Ay?
Speaker 1: I don't feel like logging into all my websites again.
Speaker 1: And b I've got my Chrome browser set up in
Speaker 1: such a streamlined way with all my buttons and tool
Speaker 1: bars and extensions and saved logins.
Speaker 2: That I don't want to change.
Speaker 1: And so I think some of this stuff is definitely
Speaker 1: inertia and momentum that keeps us doing things the same
Speaker 1: way over and over, and that's why it's tough for
Speaker 1: other browsers to kind of break in anyway.
Speaker 2: Good question.
Speaker 1: Mark didn't appreciate the Uh. You know, some people come
Speaker 1: on the show, and I get it, it's a platform,
Speaker 1: it's a big show, so they try to like, you know,
Speaker 1: sneak in other things.
Speaker 2: I guess that's been going on on radio forever.
Speaker 1: Adam Right, people like say stuff and you know, try
Speaker 1: to get things through anyway.
Speaker 2: I don't appreciate it.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like, look, we're trying to do a show.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 1: I keep this show pretty non partisan, and I like
Speaker 1: it that way because there's so much stuff that we
Speaker 1: have to deal with on a daily basis that's political
Speaker 1: and this and that.
Speaker 2: I like to keep this.
Speaker 1: I want you to listen, no matter what you care about, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I want you to like the show for what it is.
Speaker 2: Do I have time for two quick emails or no?
Speaker 2: Do I got to go to break?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to break.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up this hour again, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: some great apps for you to download, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you how air tags. Airlines are turning to air
Speaker 1: tags to help them find lost luggage, and a new
Speaker 1: airline is on board. I'll tell you about that. Plus
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get some more of your calls. Eighty eight
Speaker 1: Rich one on one eight eight seven four to two
Speaker 1: four one zero on the website, richon tech dot TV.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Let's see here.
Speaker 1: We've got Matthew from Sunrise Beach, Australia. He's listening on
Speaker 1: KFI via the iHeart app. He says good day Rich
Speaker 1: in the ause style.
Speaker 2: I heard the.
Speaker 1: Caller mentioned issues with Arlow, and I've had the same problem.
Speaker 1: After an upgrade schedules and geofencing stopped working after forty
Speaker 1: three years in it. I was frustrated with Arlow's poor support,
Speaker 1: so I took matters into my own hand. I found
Speaker 1: that removing all linked mobile devices from the account and
Speaker 1: rebuilding from scratch solved the issue. Everything's working fine now,
Speaker 1: cheers from down under, Matthew.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 1: And that's why I like this show because it is
Speaker 1: a platform for finding out the answer I may not
Speaker 1: always have the answer immediately, but someone like Matthew, who's
Speaker 1: sitting there listening, going wait, wait, this happened to me.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me write Rich, and then we help everyone.
Speaker 1: So that was the earlier question about the Rlow cameras.
Speaker 1: Let's see, I can see I can look in the
Speaker 1: show notes. It was Mark that was experiencing issues with
Speaker 1: the latest Arlow app update. So try that Mark, see
Speaker 1: if it works. Kevin writes in from Cottonwood Heights. Hey, Rich,
Speaker 1: the guy who called about an app that can view
Speaker 1: wys and other brands of cameras. He said he needed
Speaker 1: to get other cameras because the wise Pancam three doesn't
Speaker 1: have night vision one hundred percent on true, it absolutely
Speaker 1: has night vision. I own four of the Pancam threes,
Speaker 1: and night vision works on them just like the older version.
Speaker 2: Cameras.
Speaker 1: Have a great day. All right, problem solved. So who
Speaker 1: had the Wyse issue? Let's see, Oh, I didn't take
Speaker 1: notes on that one. After I just said I took
Speaker 1: great notes, maybe because I couldn't help him.
Speaker 2: There you go, that's wrong.
Speaker 1: I guess so I thought the wisecam had it built in,
Speaker 1: but I guess not.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: I guess I was second guessing myself, but I will
Speaker 1: say I did look in, you know, a little further,
Speaker 1: and yes, I can't seem to stream.
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I used to be able to stream my wiscams from
Speaker 1: Google Home, but for some reason, it's not letting me
Speaker 1: do that right now. I don't know if a camera's
Speaker 1: off or something, or it's been disconnected, but I see
Speaker 1: it on here, but it just won't let me stream
Speaker 1: it for some reason. But I know I've been able
Speaker 1: to do that in the past, especially we have a
Speaker 1: little Google Home, so we used to stream the camera
Speaker 1: there to watch the kids. And again, see it's like
Speaker 1: little changes, like we used to be able to have
Speaker 1: unlimited viewing on that camera, but then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they were like limiting it to like a certain
Speaker 1: amount of streaming time before it would stop. American Airlines
Speaker 1: is joining the air tag program to help recover your
Speaker 1: lost luggage. I think this was on Let's see which
Speaker 1: blog View from the Wing. I like this one view
Speaker 1: from the Wing viewfrom Thewing dot com. So they talk
Speaker 1: about how Airlines lost one hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 1: last year to mishandled luggage. American Airlines is now joining
Speaker 1: eighteen other carriers and using Apple air tags to help
Speaker 1: recover bags faster.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you remember this.
Speaker 1: When air tags first came out, of course, everyone was
Speaker 1: up in arms about them, privacy concerns, safety concerns, the
Speaker 1: airlines themselves some of them said, oh, don't put these
Speaker 1: in your bags, they can explode or whatever. But now,
Speaker 1: of course they're as common as like they're everywhere air tags.
Speaker 2: I think there's an air tag on everything now.
Speaker 1: And I was just talking to the points guy last
Speaker 1: week and he said, yes, if you have luggage, put
Speaker 1: an air tag on it, even if you have a
Speaker 1: carry on. I have it on all my carry ons
Speaker 1: because you never know you might be separated from it,
Speaker 1: you might leave it behind. Air tags are incredible. So
Speaker 1: American Airlines and I guess other airlines are joining this
Speaker 1: program where you can now share your air tag.
Speaker 2: Let's say your luggage gets lost.
Speaker 1: There is a special link you can place inside like
Speaker 1: the American Airlines app that will link your luggage to
Speaker 1: this air tag. So now their system could use your
Speaker 1: air tag and track it. And I guess they worked
Speaker 1: with Apple to make this all happen. I've not tried this,
Speaker 1: That's why I'm kind of dancing around it because I'm
Speaker 1: not really sure like it's interesting. So I guess you
Speaker 1: provide a secure link inside the app, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the airline can now track your bag
Speaker 1: through your air tag, all of course keeping it private.
Speaker 1: Airlines now participating in this include Delta, United, British Airways, Luftanza,
Speaker 1: Singapore Airlines, and American Airlines quietly joining the list. So
Speaker 1: you basically share the item through Apple's app, and then
Speaker 1: once your bag is lost, you scan a QR code
Speaker 1: at the baggage office to submit your claim and share
Speaker 1: your tracking info. So yeah, Now, the problem here is
Speaker 1: that this is only for Apple users, and this again
Speaker 1: goes back to that question of why do we see
Speaker 1: such a focus on certain things while because air tags
Speaker 1: are everywhere, smart tags tile not as popular. Anyway, if
Speaker 1: you're traveling, definitely have an air tag on your bag,
Speaker 1: if you're using iPhone. If you're not using iPhone, get
Speaker 1: something like a tile or a Pebble tracker Chipolo. Those
Speaker 1: all work with Android or a smart tag, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're Samsung.
Speaker 2: All right, coming up.
Speaker 1: Facundo Holdsmeister from How Too Men is going to talk
Speaker 1: about some of the coolest Android apps to download. Get
Speaker 1: ready for some must download recommendations right here on rich
Speaker 1: on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you talking technology one of my
Speaker 1: favorite topics. I'm assuming our next guest likes it as well,
Speaker 1: because he talks about it all the time on his
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, How Two Men. Welcome to the show, Facundo Holsmeister.
Speaker 13: Thank you, Rich, I appreciate it for having me on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I love your video you do every month
Speaker 1: about out the Android apps, like these hidden Android apps
Speaker 1: that you find, and I always kind of like download
Speaker 1: a couple of them. So I figured i'd have you
Speaker 1: on the show to talk about some of these must
Speaker 1: download recommendations. But first off, just tell me about your
Speaker 1: channel and haw'd you got the name? I guess is
Speaker 1: my first question?
Speaker 13: Yeah? Absolutely So.
Speaker 14: I created my channel back when I was thirteen, and
Speaker 14: I created with my tech YouTube friend who also loved
Speaker 14: technology too with smartphones, and we were doing how to
Speaker 14: videos and it's just two guys, so we just decided
Speaker 14: how two Men together?
Speaker 13: And since then he's gone his way and I've.
Speaker 14: Gone my way and I've just taken over the channel
Speaker 14: and since then, best apps you know, every month since then.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's so funny, that's awesome. And why Android? Why
Speaker 1: do you gravitate towards Android?
Speaker 14: I just like the customization behind it, everything you can
Speaker 14: do with it, all the teendering, all the unique apps
Speaker 14: that you can download too. It's a very fun experience.
Speaker 1: Do you think that Apple has gotten better with their
Speaker 1: customization in recent years?
Speaker 13: Oh? Most definitely.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I really do like their new widgets that they released
Speaker 14: back in iOS fortune. I believe on top of that,
Speaker 14: their control panel is way better than Androids obviously.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's definitely gotten a lot better too. So they're both.
Speaker 13: They're both have.
Speaker 14: Their unique advantages, pros and cons on each side too.
Speaker 14: I definitely like each too. I prefer Android though, because
Speaker 14: it does have you can tink here, a little bit
Speaker 14: more here and there if you really dig into the settings.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: One of the things I was talking about earlier on
Speaker 1: the show is I think one of the biggest delineations
Speaker 1: between Android and iOS right now is circle to search,
Speaker 1: because anything on your phone screen is up for grabs
Speaker 1: with searching, reverse searching, getting more information about it. Like
Speaker 1: let's say someone texts you a restaurant and you know
Speaker 1: on an iPhone, you've got to remember the name of it.
Speaker 2: Go to your browser, open it up, search this that.
Speaker 1: On Android, you literally just activate Circle to Search, tap
Speaker 1: the restaurant name, and it's like boom, you're into the
Speaker 1: whole search information about that.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 14: No, absolutely, On Android, it's super easy. You just long
Speaker 14: press your nab bar. You can circle anything on us
Speaker 14: on the screen and it'll look it up. That's funny
Speaker 14: that you say that too, because there's actually an app
Speaker 14: on the play Store that you can download. It's called
Speaker 14: Circle to Search for.
Speaker 13: Older phones or for phones that don't have it.
Speaker 14: Some phones don't have that feature, so if you want
Speaker 14: that feature, you can literally just look up Circle to
Speaker 14: Search and you can have that same exact feature on
Speaker 14: any other Android as well.
Speaker 13: It works the same way too.
Speaker 14: You can long press the low key and you can
Speaker 14: just circle anything on the screen and it's free to
Speaker 14: download and you'll get that same feature. It's great to
Speaker 14: download on your older device that may not have this
Speaker 14: unique feature.
Speaker 1: That's her sing and I know, I know. It started
Speaker 1: out as a Samsung thing. It's expanded to more phones.
Speaker 1: But yeah, not every phone, like Google has to bless
Speaker 1: that feature onto your phone before you have it. It's
Speaker 1: not just like a given. Tell me about this alarm
Speaker 1: app you've found.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so there's an alarm app called QR Alarm. So
Speaker 14: in the morning, I know some people have it have
Speaker 14: a hard time waking up if if you hit the
Speaker 14: snooze button and you didn't hear.
Speaker 13: The alarm go off or something like that.
Speaker 14: Uh, there's a great app called QR Alarm that allows
Speaker 14: you to scan a QR code.
Speaker 13: You can link it to any QR code.
Speaker 14: And what I did is I actually printed out that
Speaker 14: QR code and I put that on a sheet of
Speaker 14: paper and put.
Speaker 13: It in the other room.
Speaker 14: So when I wake up in the morning, I can
Speaker 14: just get up, go to that room, scan it with
Speaker 14: my phone, and the alarm turns off. That's the only
Speaker 14: time the alarm will turn off when.
Speaker 2: I scan it.
Speaker 13: Oh really, it really forces you to get out of bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had I've definitely had the situation where I
Speaker 1: turn off my alarm without realizing and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden I wake up.
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, what why is the alarm off?
Speaker 1: How about this app that turns your front camera hole
Speaker 1: punch into a button.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so it's called nody Guy. This is actually a
Speaker 14: pretty fun one. So your front camera on your front phone,
Speaker 14: it allows you to you can it allows you can
Speaker 14: turn into a button essentially. So what I did is
Speaker 14: this app basically puts like a little touch area around
Speaker 14: your front camera and when you tap on it, you
Speaker 14: can open things like your favorite app, maybe a certain action,
Speaker 14: maybe you could take a screenshot or something.
Speaker 13: Basically, you just tap on your notch.
Speaker 14: Of your front front camera hole punch and it'll turn
Speaker 14: it into a button.
Speaker 2: It links it pretty cool.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now this next one you really got me to thinking
Speaker 1: how I turned off this functionality on the Samsung the
Speaker 1: big full screen reminder. And then when you did this
Speaker 1: video and I saw this little remind Me app, I
Speaker 1: was like, wait, that's actually really good because I sometimes
Speaker 1: you miss things.
Speaker 2: Because it just explained what this is.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so basically there's an app called remind Me and
Speaker 14: you can. By the way, all these apps are free.
Speaker 14: So on the Samsung phones, whenever you set a reminder,
Speaker 14: you get a full screen reminder, meaning that you can't
Speaker 14: you can't dismiss it unless you actually see it.
Speaker 13: And you hit the dismissed button.
Speaker 14: On any other phone, when you set a reminder, you
Speaker 14: go into the you get a note of vacation, which
Speaker 14: can easily get lost in your panel. So what this
Speaker 14: app does remind me it's on the play Store. It
Speaker 14: basically gives you a whole new, fresh way to get
Speaker 14: a full screen reminder on your phone, so that way
Speaker 14: you don't forget it, and it's right in your face
Speaker 14: right when you turn on the screen.
Speaker 1: It's great, that's really good. And I turn this feature
Speaker 1: now because I do have a Samsung. I turn it
Speaker 1: back on on the Samsung. But I love how you
Speaker 1: can get this for any phone. Now, how about GPT
Speaker 1: Mobile GPT Mobile.
Speaker 13: That's a fun one too, you.
Speaker 14: Know, with AI on the Rise and everyone using GPT Chat, GPT, Gemini, Claude,
Speaker 14: all these different models to choose from, it's hard to
Speaker 14: choose which one has the best option for responses. So
Speaker 14: why not combine them all and have them all on
Speaker 14: one app.
Speaker 13: This literally lets you have every single one.
Speaker 14: You just just have to type in a key to
Speaker 14: get it linked up, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 14: you can just ask you a question and it'll bring
Speaker 14: up their responses for each model of AI on the spot,
Speaker 14: so you don't even have to switch between CHATTEBT or
Speaker 14: Gemini or Claude. You can get all the responses right
Speaker 14: then and there. Called GPT Mobile. That's a fun one too.
Speaker 2: What's your what's your preferred AI? At this point?
Speaker 13: Honestly, I'd say it's chat GPT just because of this app.
Speaker 14: It allowed me to see all the different responses and
Speaker 14: CHATJPT for sure brought.
Speaker 13: The most the most detailed responses.
Speaker 7: That I found.
Speaker 1: Any privacy concerns with this app? Do we have to
Speaker 1: be worried about that one?
Speaker 13: I don't know.
Speaker 14: That one just links it. It's all open source. This
Speaker 14: one allows you to just link it to the API key.
Speaker 14: You'll be okay, okay. What about this next one? Tracker control?
Speaker 14: Because basically we're all looking for more privacy. How can
Speaker 14: this help?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Definitely. So on your phone you have a lot of trackers.
Speaker 14: You can't really avoid it. Every app that you download
Speaker 14: has trackers behind it. And trackers aren't necessarily a bad thing.
Speaker 14: Sometimes they just use it for at personalization or you
Speaker 14: can some of them use it for analytics. But this
Speaker 14: one allows you with track or control. It allows you
Speaker 14: to have basically a VPN, a local VPN put onto
Speaker 14: your phone and it will basically tell you which of
Speaker 14: your apps have trackers in them and why they're using
Speaker 14: those trackers. And if you want to, you can also
Speaker 14: turn off internet access for some of those apps that
Speaker 14: you don't want accessing your internets.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting. Okay, So if you don't want it to
Speaker 1: like phone home or something, you can just toggle that off.
Speaker 14: Yeah, let's say you have an offline game and or
Speaker 14: some app that doesn't really require the Internet for example,
Speaker 14: you can just go in there and you can turn
Speaker 14: off the internet for that app, so that way it
Speaker 14: doesn't do anything sketchy in the background.
Speaker 2: Okay. Finally, this I don't know how to say, is
Speaker 2: a kind stop.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, keen stop or kind stop yeah?
Speaker 2: What is that? That f one?
Speaker 14: So that one so whenever you're in the car and
Speaker 14: you're using your phone, maybe you get motion sickness. Happens
Speaker 14: to me a couple of times when I'm reading or
Speaker 14: looking in an article or something like that basically allows
Speaker 14: you to lower motion sickness while using your phone in
Speaker 14: the car or maybe an airplane too. And the way
Speaker 14: it does this is by adding some visual elements on
Speaker 14: the screen, sort of simulating in the horizon and following
Speaker 14: your hand movements. It may sound like it may sound
Speaker 14: like a gimmick, but it's been working for a lot
Speaker 14: of people. It has a ton of awesome reviews, and
Speaker 14: don't knock until you try it, to be honest.
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite Android phone these days?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 13: Definitely.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I mostly switch between the Galaxy devices. I like the
Speaker 14: Galaxy S twenty five Ultra, but my heart always goes
Speaker 14: back to the Google Pixel just because I'm a Nexus
Speaker 14: fan from back in the day. So uh yeah, I
Speaker 14: definitely like the core Android stock Android experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel the same way I find myself going
Speaker 1: back and forth. You you remember that wallpaper, that Nexus
Speaker 1: wallpaper that was live, Remember the little digital like colors
Speaker 1: that would go up and down as stuff?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Absolutely, absolutely, the one where you could just tap on
Speaker 14: the screen and it expands into a four colorway immersion experience.
Speaker 14: It's pretty nice. It's funny too, because there's actually an
Speaker 14: app for that too. It's called I think it's called
Speaker 14: NeXT's Live Wallpaper.
Speaker 8: There you go.
Speaker 1: I probably saw that on your channel, all right. The
Speaker 1: channel is how two men, it's on YouTube. How two
Speaker 1: men follow it? Facundo Holsmeister, thanks so much for joining
Speaker 1: me today.
Speaker 13: Thank you, rich I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll put links to all of the apps
Speaker 1: that we mentioned on our website, rich on Tech dot tv.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, we'll get through a couple of stories.
Speaker 1: The one plus Watch three has a really unfortunate typo
Speaker 1: on it. I'll explain that. Plus we'll open up the
Speaker 1: feedback right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. We'll get to the feedback in just
Speaker 1: a moment. Two quick stories for you here Ring If
Speaker 1: you've been waiting for a new outdoor cam, they just
Speaker 1: released one. It's called the Outdoor Cam Plus. They say
Speaker 1: it's got the best ever image quality two K video resolution.
Speaker 1: It's got low light site technology so it can get
Speaker 1: clear color footage even in near darkness. You can use
Speaker 1: this indoors or outdoors. It's weather resistant, you can mount it,
Speaker 1: you can use battery, you can plug it in, or
Speaker 1: you can use solar. It's got motion detection, real time alerts,
Speaker 1: two way talk. And if you've got this Ring Home subscription,
Speaker 1: which I think the price just went up on that,
Speaker 1: you can get event video history. So again a lot
Speaker 1: of these cameras don't forget if you're not paying for
Speaker 1: the subscription, they're just live streaming. They're not recording necessarily
Speaker 1: unless they have local storage. You can also get package
Speaker 1: detection twenty four to seven recording if you're plugging this in.
Speaker 2: That's new.
Speaker 1: By the way, Ring just added that smart Video Search
Speaker 1: AI you can use to find things like if you
Speaker 1: want to search raccoon, you can see if Raccoon crossed
Speaker 1: your video.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Pre order now Amazonring dot Com. Hunter Bucks starts shipping
Speaker 1: on March twenty sixth. Another new product the one plus
Speaker 1: Watch three. This is a new one plus watch. I've
Speaker 1: been testing it out. It's a great watch, works really
Speaker 1: well if you have an Android phone. It's got a
Speaker 1: great design, long battery life, great screen. But the downside
Speaker 1: is an unfortunate typo on the back. So someone looked
Speaker 1: at the back of this thing and saw that it
Speaker 1: says instead of made in China, it says Meta Meda
Speaker 1: in China. I guess there's a little typo that they
Speaker 1: didn't notice before they went to press with it. Mistake
Speaker 1: was first spotted on review units quickly caught attention on Reddit.
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't affect the watch at all, but it's
Speaker 1: kind of like pretty rare for an error like this
Speaker 1: to slip through. So some people are saying these watches
Speaker 1: might be collector items, collector's items. We don't know if
Speaker 1: one plus has corrected this because the watch hasn't shipped yet.
Speaker 2: Right now, it's just on the review units.
Speaker 1: But anyway, if you get one of these one plus
Speaker 1: watch threes, check the back. I know mine says it.
Speaker 1: I checked mine. I couldn't believe it. I was like, what,
Speaker 1: when did you ever see that? Some people were saying
Speaker 1: it was a joke about avoiding tariffs because it wasn't
Speaker 1: made in China, don't have to pay the tariff on it.
Speaker 1: It was meta in China, Meda. All right, let's open
Speaker 1: up the feedbag. Let's see deb rightes. What's a good,
Speaker 1: safe and reliable scanning app to use for forwarding tax
Speaker 1: documents to my CPA? Used to use the notes app.
Speaker 1: It no longer allows me to convert files to PDFs.
Speaker 1: Notes app still allows you to convert files to PDFs.
Speaker 1: Just go into the notes app, tapped the little attachment
Speaker 1: icon and then say, I think it's just scan scan document.
Speaker 1: Let's see new document tached the little paper clip. It
Speaker 1: says scan documents. You can scan the document that way.
Speaker 1: If you don't want to do it that way, you
Speaker 1: can use the files app on your iPhone that will
Speaker 1: also scan documents as PDFs. If you're on Android, you
Speaker 1: can use the Google Drive app. It's got a built
Speaker 1: in scanner that will save them as PDFs. Just tap
Speaker 1: the plus icon and select scan once you open up
Speaker 1: that app. And if you don't want to deal with
Speaker 1: any of that stuff, Adobe scan is really good. It
Speaker 1: works on iPhone and Android. Adobe Scan is the one
Speaker 1: ray from brayat California writes in what's your recommendation on
Speaker 1: a quality AMFM Internet radio with a wired Ethernet connection?
Speaker 1: My Wi Fi gets interrupted by a ham radio operator
Speaker 1: next door, so I'd prefer something reliable.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: I found one called the Grace Where is it here?
Speaker 1: The Grace Digital Mondo Elite Internet Radio. But then it's
Speaker 1: got a USB two Ethernet adapter, so it's a one
Speaker 1: to two punch.
Speaker 2: You'll need those two products. The Grace Digital Mondo Elite.
Speaker 1: Let's see how much that is? I think it was
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars. Let's see, Yeah, two hundred dollars, So
Speaker 1: two d and twenty bucks. All your problems are solved
Speaker 1: there right, well, at least when it comes to the radio.
Speaker 2: Let's see, Bob.
Speaker 1: Bob writes in on enjoying the podcast from Australia. Your
Speaker 1: discussion on satellite mobile connectivity caught my attention.
Speaker 2: You got the orbit mechanics a bit off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I knew I did as soon as I said it,
Speaker 1: because I said that one of the satellites stays in
Speaker 1: the same place and the others move.
Speaker 2: That's not true, he says.
Speaker 1: Both Apple, Global Star and Starlink satellites are constantly moving
Speaker 1: in the sky. The key difference is that global Star
Speaker 1: has about twenty eight satellites requiring precise alignment, while Starlink
Speaker 1: has sixty five hundred aiming for forty thousand. Wow, are
Speaker 1: those numbers right? Ensuring near constant coverage. So and then
Speaker 1: he goes into low earth orbit. Satellites travel seventeen five
Speaker 1: hundred miles per hour at six hundred miles up. They
Speaker 1: orbit the Earth in ninety minutes. They're visible overhead for
Speaker 1: five minutes. Used for fast, lower cost communications, then you've
Speaker 1: got geo satellites geostationary orbit twenty two thousand miles up,
Speaker 1: traveling at sixty three hundred miles per hour. They say
Speaker 1: fixed over one spot, but they require stronger signals. So
Speaker 1: with thousands of starlike starlink satellites spread globally, you're always
Speaker 1: within range global stars. Smaller network means less frequent connections.
Speaker 1: Hope that clears things up, Bob, thank you for the
Speaker 1: masterclass in satellite. I appreciate it, and apologies for getting
Speaker 1: that wrong. Let's see gym rights in. I'm enjoying this
Speaker 1: application called the Cruise Globe, the Cruiseglobe dot com. It
Speaker 1: tracks all of your cruises. That's pretty cool. It shows
Speaker 1: you where all your cruises are on a map. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like when I was a kid. I had
Speaker 1: a map on my wall of all the different places
Speaker 1: I went, with a little pin in each one. And
Speaker 1: then Craig writes in the trick to deleting a ton
Speaker 1: of Gmail emails, use a desktop computer only, not an
Speaker 1: iPhone or an iPad. I just wiped out one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand emails in about thirty minutes. It took
Speaker 1: me two tries. Then I empty the trash done.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 1: The main thing to know here is that when you
Speaker 1: go to Gmail and you search for something like someone's email,
Speaker 1: you have to tap that little square checkbox and then
Speaker 1: it says select all up at the top. You can
Speaker 1: select all and then it will go through. It take
Speaker 1: a while to delete, by the way. It's not like instantaneous,
Speaker 1: but it does take a little bit. Let's see if
Speaker 1: I have time for one more here. Phil from Mount Prospect,
Speaker 1: Illinois rites in. Just want to congratulate you on fourteen
Speaker 1: years at the TV station.
Speaker 2: That's really terrific.
Speaker 1: We're glad to see your rich on tech report on
Speaker 1: WGNTV in Chicago and hope to see a longer half
Speaker 1: hour show someday. All the best to you and those
Speaker 1: affected by the terrible wildfires and flooding.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Phil.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, I work for a TV station
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles KTLA, Channel five, but the segment
Speaker 1: goes to a bunch of TV stations nationwide. WGN Chicago
Speaker 1: is one of them, so that's where Phil is watching.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: We do have a half an hour show actually on
Speaker 1: KTLA Plus, which is a free streaming app. You can
Speaker 1: watch it there. You don't have to be in LA
Speaker 1: to download it. You can download it anywhere. So if
Speaker 1: you want to see the half hour show, it actually
Speaker 1: includes some of this radio show. The first ten minutes
Speaker 1: is on that TV show, so it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: If you want to see behind the scenes what it
Speaker 1: looks like in the studio here, you can see that.
Speaker 1: So and then of course we have longer versions of
Speaker 1: my TV segments and all that good stuff. So fun
Speaker 1: stuff KTLA plus it's available on Roku, Apple TV, and
Speaker 1: let's see Fire TV and also Samsung TVs. All right,
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna do it. That's gonna do it.
Speaker 1: For this episode of the show. You can find links
Speaker 1: to everything I mentioned on the website. Just go to
Speaker 1: richon tech dot TV, find me on social media, follow
Speaker 1: me on Instagram at rich on tech. Next week we've
Speaker 1: got Chris Gould of Geeks on tour. She's gonna share

Speaker 1: so much for listening. There are so many ways you
Speaker 1: can spend your time. I do appreciate you spending it
Speaker 1: right here with me. Thanks to everyone who makes this
