That will be interesting. Well, I am here 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas for CS twenty twenty six. Now the 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: show floor is officially closed, but I am still here 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: after an entire week, and I have to say, I'm 23 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: quite proud of myself for actually staying pretty healthy throughout 24 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: the week. That is no easy feat in a city 25 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: of Las Vegas, where the air is drier than any 26 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: place I've been. I mean, it's really really dry, and 27 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: there's one hundred thousand, over one hundred thousand people from 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: all over the world, touching things, talking, and so this 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: is a big show. It takes over the convention center, 30 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: it takes over the surrounding hotels, it takes over the city. 31 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: I have walked the floor, I've seen people, I've had meetings, 32 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: have gone to dinners. It's really where the tech world 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: comes together. Now you might be saying, rich, doesn't CS 34 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: stand for Consumer Electronics Show. It not. So CS is 35 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: put on by an organization called CTA, which does stand 36 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: for the Consumer Technology Association. They dropped the you know 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: CES Consumer Electronics Show moniker a while ago. Now it's 38 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: just CS because it's not just gadgets. It's everything on 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: that show floor. There is health tech, there are cars, 40 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: there's AI, there's wearables. I mean, there's so many things 41 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: to see. It's not just one size fits all. We're 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: no longer talking about DVD players and radios and TVs, 43 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: although TVs are still a very big part of this show. Now, 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: I saw a ton of stuff this week. I walked 45 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand steps, and I know that because 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: all week long I wore the Samsung ring. Basically, you know, 47 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: I've had this thought about smart rings, which is great. 48 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: You know, I want to wear them because twenty four 49 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: to seven you can get your health insights. But I 50 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: don't like the idea of wearing two rings. So I 51 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: politely asked my wife and said, hey, do you mind 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: if I replace my wedding ring with a smart ring 53 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: just to see how it feels, just to see how 54 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: I like having this thing on. And sure enough, because 55 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: I'm already used to having a ring on that finger, 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: I had no problem all week wearing this thing, and 57 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: I really kind of loved it. Like every morning I'd 58 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: wake up and I'd check my sleep. Now in Las Vegas, 59 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: you know, sleep is very precious, especially at a show 60 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: like this. I was also carrying around the Samsung S 61 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: twenty five Ultra phone for capturing everything. I'm not sure 62 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: why I wanted to switch from the iPhone this week, 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: but I just wanted to see how it could do 64 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: in a sort of a content creator situation, and I 65 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: gotta say I was very impressed that thing really kept up, 66 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: and I kind of remembered just how less, how many 67 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: less taps it takes to do things on an Android 68 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: than an iPhone, And voice to text on Android is 69 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: infinitely better than on an iPhone. It's like you tap 70 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: once you're already talking to text, or you're already talking 71 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: to search. It's so much easier. The bummer was I 72 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: could not find a signal in this entire town, and 73 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: I was carrying around phones all the carriers. I don't 74 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: know what the deal is with Las Vegas, but all 75 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: throughout the convention center, all throughout the hotels, in the 76 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, the bottoms of these hotels, there is just 77 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: no signal. So I'm sitting there trying to post all 78 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: my stuff to social media and it was just almost impossible. 79 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: Now at my hotel, I will tell you I did 80 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: use a hack that was actually really good that I 81 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: want to share. So, you know, you go to these 82 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: hotels nowadays, it used to be you can connect as 83 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: many devices as you want. And I guess this depends 84 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: on the hotel you stay at. But where I'm staying 85 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars if you connect more than two devices, and 86 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: I was like, no way, I've got like twenty devices 87 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: I need to connect. So here's what you can do. 88 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: If you have an Android phone, you can turn that 89 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: into a mobile router where it not just shares a 90 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: hotspot connection from your cellular which of course draws from 91 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: your cellular data. It can take that hotel Wi Fi 92 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: connection and actually reshare it. Even if you have to 93 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: log in, it will still do that. And this is 94 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: a thing that not many people know, not many people 95 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: realize or use. This doesn't work on the iPhone, it's 96 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: only on Androids, but if you want to know how 97 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: to do it, it's on the Samsung. I'll put the 98 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: link in the show notes. But it's Wi Fi tethering, 99 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: and it is such a helpful thing because I basically 100 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: connected my one Samsung phone to the hotel's internet, and 101 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: then I connected all of my other devices to the 102 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: Samsung device the Wi Fi hotspot, which again is not 103 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: pulling from cellular. It was pulling from the hotel's Wi Fi, 104 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: which I think is brilliant. 105 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: There. 106 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to tell this story because it's really sad, 107 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: but I did something very stupid this week. And there's 108 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: a reason I'm telling you this because I thought the 109 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: technology behind it was kind of interesting. So I went 110 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: to this event. The first night I got here. It's 111 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: at the Mandalay Bay and I had to park. You know, 112 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: the parking lot was cramped and crowded, so I pulled 113 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: into one of these spots. I wedged my car in 114 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: there well. As I was pulling out at the end 115 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: of the night, I was really close to a poll 116 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: and I was talking to my wife on the phone 117 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: and the kids, and I came like one inch away from, 118 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, clipping my side view mirror, right my driver's 119 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: side mirror. And I was like, oh, that was a 120 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: close call. Oh my gosh. And so I get back 121 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: to my hotel, I valet my car. I don't think 122 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: about it for the rest of the week. I get 123 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: down to the valet to get my car. It comes 124 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: back with this big, giant scrape on the driver's side 125 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, you guys, I think you 126 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: scratched my car. They said, no, we didn't. I said, yeah, 127 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 1: you did, and they said because I told the guys, 128 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: the valet guys, the story about almost hitting my car, 129 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: they said, no, we remember you told us you almost 130 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: hit your car. You did hit your car. I said what, 131 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: and they said, well, we have cameras that can show 132 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: when you entered the garage, like the valet garage. Every 133 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: time the valet brings a car into the garage, it 134 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: captures photos of it, kind of like that hurts Ai 135 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: thing I was telling you about last weekend. So they 136 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: do that, which I thought was brilliant. And so they 137 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: showed me my car. They show it clearly going in 138 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: at the time I brought it in, and they said, yeah, 139 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: it already had the problem on your car and on 140 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: this door. I said, Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. 141 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: It's been such a long week. I completely forgot I 142 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: did that. But how stupid am I that I hit 143 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: my car. I didn't even look at the door because 144 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: I thought I didn't hit it. So now I got 145 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: to get my car fixed. Oh my gosh, brand new car. 146 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: Not fun. But I will say it's very smart of 147 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: this hotel, and I'm sure other valets do that. Of 148 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: taking a picture of every single car, all they do 149 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: is scan my ticket brought it right to that picture, 150 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: and that's very smart because I bet a lot of 151 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: people try to get over on the system and say, hey, 152 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: you guys messed up my car. Now you get to pay, 153 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: and they say not so fast. So I thought that 154 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: was good, even though I'm really sad that I need to. 155 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those things where you're spending 156 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: money to get back to where you were, Like I'm 157 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: going to repair my car just to get it back 158 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: to where it was, which is always the worst spending 159 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: of money. Instagram this week, if you got one of 160 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: those password reset emails, it seems like it's some sort 161 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: of system issue. I would not engage with it. So 162 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: the first time I got the text from someone, they're like, hey, 163 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: what's this deal? Why'd I get this email? I said, 164 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. Usually that's when someone tries to get 165 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: into your account. Then I get another email from someone, 166 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: Hey I'm getting this. They send me a screenshop. Then 167 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: I get another one. Then my wife sends it to me, 168 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: then my mom sends it to me. Then a couple 169 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: other people on Instagram, Hey, rich what's going on. That's 170 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: when I realize it's a trend and something's happening. So 171 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: that's when I post and on Instagram and said, hey, 172 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: if you're getting one of these things, you might want 173 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: to be on the lookout. Don't engage with this email 174 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: because I'm not sure what's happening. So if you get 175 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: one of those emails it says, hey, on Instagram, we 176 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: got a request to reset your password. Just leave it 177 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: alone for now because we don't know what's happening. The 178 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: good news is this is a reminder to tell you 179 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: use a strong, unique password. If this is a hack 180 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: where someone got access to a whole bunch of passwords 181 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: and they're trying to log into accounts, anyone who has 182 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: a weak password, they're going to get into your account. 183 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: So make sure you have a strong password on. Make 184 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: sure you have two factor authentication turned on. That is 185 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: very important. All right, So at CS throughout the show, 186 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to sprinkle the show with all the cool 187 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: stuff I saw. I'll tell you a couple of things 188 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: right now, but overall, themes Ai Huge Ai one of 189 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: the biggest things we saw there. It was in just 190 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: about every product. Every company is throwing whatever they can 191 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: at the wall to see what sticks. Robots I cannot 192 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: tell you. I don't think I've ever seen more robots 193 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: under one roof in one place in my entire life. 194 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: And that was my most viral video from CS I 195 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: posted a whole bunch of stuff at Richon Tech on Instagram. 196 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: My video that went viral with almost six million views 197 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: in counting. Is a human fighting a robot in a 198 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: boxing ring at the unitary booth. Yes, a human fighting robot. Now, 199 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: I think he was throwing pretty easy punches at this robot. 200 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: But let me tell you, when robots are throwing punches 201 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: back at humans, that is scary. And the other thing 202 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: about these robots because right now, it takes a lot 203 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: of time for these robots to learn how to do 204 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: things that humans can do in seconds, Like they had 205 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: all these laundry folding robots and things. Here's the thing 206 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: that really stuck with me. One of the people I 207 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: interviewed said, before we had to program these robots, there 208 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: there's no data to show a robot how to fold laundry. 209 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: But in the future, as these robots are walking around 210 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: and they're learning about the world around them, they're going 211 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: to start collecting data about wait, hold on, how do 212 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: you fold laundry, how do you open a car door, 213 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: how do you sweep a floor, how do you help 214 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: someone or how do you hold their hand without crushing it. 215 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: They're going to start learning because they're going to collect 216 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: all this data from the world in real world circumstances, 217 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: not just seeing it, but physically doing it themselves and 218 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: making it better and better and better, and then sharing 219 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: that knowledge with other robots. So that is a paradigm 220 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: shift in our world because of AI. No longer do 221 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: you have to sit there and say, okay, all this 222 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: lines of code to say how to lift your hand 223 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: and turn it and swap it and do this. No, 224 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: now the robot learns on its own because of AI. 225 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: That is a major shift in how fast we're going 226 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: to see these robots develop from here on out. Right now, 227 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: you may watch some of these videos on my Instagram, say, 228 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: Rich those robots, you know, yeah, sure they can do 229 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: this and that, but they're not really helpful. We are 230 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: going to see an acceleration like never before in the 231 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: next couple of years because of AI and because of 232 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: what these robots can learn on their own. So check 233 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: that out for sure. All right, I'll be telling you 234 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: more about some of this stuff. I mean, I saw 235 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: a robot that can climb the stairs, a vacuum robot. Uh, 236 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: let's see. I saw a vending machine that three D 237 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: prints chocolate. I saw snap on nails, press on nails 238 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: that change color digitally, a lollipop that plays music, so 239 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: much more. I'll tell you all about CS twenty twenty 240 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: six right here on rich on Tech plus your calls 241 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: at Triple eight Rich one O one eight eight eight 242 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one.

I know 250 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: not everyone does. I posted on my Facebook Facebook dot 251 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: com slash rich on Tech and I said vaggas love 252 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: it or not for you, and the comments came flowing in. 253 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: A lot of people love it, A lot of people 254 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: think it's fun. A lot of people think it's gotten 255 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: very expensive, which it has. I've been coming to Las 256 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: Vegas long enough to remember the ads for ninety nine 257 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: cent shrimp cocktail. I never took advantage of that, And 258 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: now I don't think you can because now that same 259 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: shrimp cocktail is like ninety nine dollars and it's a 260 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: seafood tower of shrimp cocktail. But here's what I love 261 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: about Vegas. When adults come to Las Vegas, they come 262 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: to enjoy themselves, right Like everyone here wants to have 263 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: a good time. And I think that's very unique for 264 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: a city because you walk around, people are smiling, they're laughing, 265 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: they're with their friends. They usually have a little group 266 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: of folks with them, and it's just kind of fun. 267 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying everyone, you know, there's definitely some 268 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: people here that you see them and you're like, you know, 269 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: you feel a little sad. But for the most part, 270 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: people that are flying into Las Vegas, they are definitely 271 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: here to take advantage of some downtime, be an adult, 272 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: enjoy some you know, nice food, nice play, nice shows, whatever. 273 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: And it's just kind of a different atmosphere than a 274 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: lot of places. It's almost like a vacation every single day, 275 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: which of course makes it interesting when you're here for 276 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: something like a big technology show like CES, because the 277 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: whole rest of the city is partying and you're trying 278 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: to work, so it's definitely a different dynamic for sure. 279 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Let's go to the first caller, Arnold in Rancho Cucamonga, 280 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: Line one, Arnold, you're on with Rich Arnold? Are you there? 281 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 2: My Microsoft subscription to a Microsoft perpetual license and then 282 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: so then I was unable to access it. So I 283 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: changed to Libert Office because it was free to get 284 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: access to my word documents. But then when I try 285 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: and save, I get an air message I finally got 286 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: access to. And then when I try and save my 287 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: MS word documents, I get this air message It says, sorry, 288 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: we can't open htpps A, doots, live, whatever, all this stuff. 289 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 2: And if I click okay to exit that error message, 290 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 2: it takes me to this UH to save the file 291 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 2: to the thing it says users arenal app data roaming 292 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: Microsoft Windows network shortcuts. But this all seemed to and 293 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: then what happened was it seemed to be related to 294 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: my subscription expireds that my one drive. It tells me 295 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: that there's not enough cloud storage, and it asked me 296 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: either to upgrade but ord to free up space, and 297 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: I can't. I'm unable to free up space, so I 298 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: don't know if that's two separate issues. 299 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 3: Hope that makes sense. 300 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: So it doesn't really make sense. I'm trying to figure out. 301 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: So what are you trying to You're trying to double 302 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: click a file on your computer and it's not opening, 303 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: and it's saying it's this weird like HTTP, like almost 304 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: like a web r L. 305 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 306 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: It's like when I'm working on a word file and 307 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: then I go to save it, and because I'm getting 308 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: the message saying this file is like unsaved and you 309 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: need to save it, and it's just it's just continually reads. 310 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: It has the name of the files that's saving. It's 311 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: just continually saving. 312 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 5: And I don't want to save that from just in 313 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 5: a word, just a word file of my you know, 314 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 5: a word file that I'm working on, you know. 315 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: In the Libra office. 316 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: I changed I did. 317 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 5: Get rid of the lever stuff and I changed it 318 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 5: back to word. I changed a bunch of things in 319 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 5: the settings that I'm back to my I was finally 320 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 5: able to get into my I believe it's my perpetual 321 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 5: license and I'm so I'm back to. 322 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 3: Using a word. 323 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: Okay, So it sounds like, are you trying to save 324 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: it to the cloud or to your hard drive. 325 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 2: I'm trying to save it to my hard drive, but 326 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: so I turn off the I turn off that open 327 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: the yeah, but it always pops up and I can't 328 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: seem to get rid of it. And I don't want 329 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: I never wanted to save to one drive, but I 330 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: can't get rid of that red dot and white X 331 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: on all these files.

I would I would go in there 335 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: and you can do this maybe from the web interface. 336 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: To make life easier for you. You got to go 337 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: in there and either drag some files out, delete some files, 338 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: and just free up space. And I think that should 339 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: solve a lot of the problems. 340 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: And the problem I can't find those. So when I 341 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 2: can't find where to do that at, I don't see 342 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 2: any files. 343 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: Just go to OneDrive dot live dot com and that'll 344 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: bring you to your files as long as you're logged 345 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: in on your Microsoft account. You have to be logged 346 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: in on the same account, So if you go there, 347 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: that'll bring your files and you can see I'll say, 348 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: you know, home my files shared, and I can see 349 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: right at the bottom it should say storage how much 350 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: storage is being used out of your If you're just 351 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: on the free version, you got five gigabytes, so I 352 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: would do that would also empty the recycling bin. Depends 353 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: on the cloud service. Some cloud services count the recycling 354 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: bin as storage, some do not, So it just sort 355 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: of depends on the different cloud storage that you're using, 356 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: so you can check that. But I think it sounds 357 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: like a lot of these issues are related to the 358 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: cloud storage being overfilled, and so it's trying to save 359 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: things on the cloud storage and it can't. Now if 360 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: you want to save them in a different location when 361 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: you're in word, you know, just use that menu to 362 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: save as into a different location on your hard drive. 363 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: But then you have to worry about your stuff not 364 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: being in sync or not being backed up rather, and 365 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: so I would recommend that you probably use one edrive 366 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: just because it's better to have things in the cloud. 367 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: If this is all very frustrating to you, you can 368 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: also just switch to Google Docs and you can use 369 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: Google Docs on the web. It's completely free. You're not 370 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: gonna have any issues with this stuff. They're going to 371 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: give you fifteen gigabytes of storage, so you do have 372 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: some options there. And then Microsoft does have a web 373 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: version of their apps as well, so if you type 374 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: in Office three sixty five web app, they should have 375 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: some free versions of those as well. It says free 376 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: Microsoft three sixty five online. Thanks for the call. Arnold 377 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: eighty eight rich one oh one eighty eight seven four 378 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: to two four one zero one. Welcome back to rich 379 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking 380 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: technology at triple eight Rich one O one eight eight 381 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: eight seven four two four one zero one. Let's go 382 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: to let's see what we have here. Let's go to 383 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: Mike in Minnesota. Line is that that is line three I. I. 384 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 1: You know, Bobo has to uh, since it's a remote show, 385 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Bobo has to bring up the caller. So that's why 386 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: I'm calling out the lines in case you know a 387 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: little behind the scenes information for you. That's why I'm 388 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: calling out the lines today. Mike, thanks for joining. What 389 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: what can we help you with today? What's going on? Hey? 390 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 4: So I've got Mike, so I've got uh do looking 391 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 4: for it? So I got Mike. I was able to 392 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 4: fix my router. So I was able to because the 393 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 4: night Night Hawk app is accessible for visually impaired. So 394 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 4: the the thing I wanted to know is how do 395 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 4: I get rid of or not get rid of, Like 396 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 4: how do I disable Microsoft Edge on my co gutter 397 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 4: because it's like the co pilot. I don't like that, 398 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 4: It's it's really irritating. 399 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you have to set your default app. So 400 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,959 Speaker 1: uninstalling Edge from Windows is it might be possible, but 401 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,239 Speaker 1: it's not easy, and I don't think it's for the uh, 402 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, the average person to do because they've sort 403 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: of built it into the entire program, right, it's built 404 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: directly into the operating system. So but what you can 405 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: do is you can easily set Google Chrome as your default. 406 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: So there's a couple of ways you can do this. 407 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: You can either go into Chrome and in the settings. 408 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: So you can go into Chrome and then you know, 409 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: tap those three little lines in the upper right hand 410 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: corner tap settings, and then you can go into default 411 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: and see where it says default browser on the left 412 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: hand sid. You can tap that and then it'll say 413 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: Google Chrome is your default browser. So that's how you 414 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: can confirm if it is or not. If it's not, 415 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: then you've got to go into your search and just 416 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: type in defaults and it'll bring up default apps and 417 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: you tap that, and now you can go down to 418 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: Chrome that's installed. And let's see here trying to find 419 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: Google Chrome. Here it's set to faults for application on 420 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: a search Chrome. Okay, now I search Chrome, tap Google Chrome, 421 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: and now at the top it says make Google Chrome 422 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: your default browser. And so if you look at my 423 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: list right now, it's a mishmash like some things are Chrome, 424 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: some things are Edge. I'm gonna tap set default and 425 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: now all the important stuff will switch over to Google Chrome. 426 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: And then when you're trying to open up documents and links, 427 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: it will open in Google Chrome. It's not gonna get 428 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: rid of the edge browser completely, but it will get 429 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: rid of when you try to open things up in 430 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: different apps that they open up into the Edge browser. 431 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: So's it's one of those things that you know, it 432 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: should be a little bit more straightforward. On Windows. I 433 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: feel like they should get people more of an option, 434 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: maybe like a one switch to turn off these things 435 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: like Copilot. I'm looking in here, I've got Copilot. I 436 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: think there is a setting to make sure that you 437 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: know it doesn't come up as much. Let me see 438 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: if I go, I remember looking at this one time. 439 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: Oh that's recall. Okay, that's a whole other thing. Oh 440 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: my gosh, let's let's not open that can of worms. 441 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: Recall is the feature that basically remembers everything that comes 442 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: across your screen on your Windows PC. So I think 443 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: it's turned off by default. I have it turned on 444 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: just for testing purposes, but actually forgot. But it's interesting 445 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: because the first clue is that to even open up 446 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 1: the app, they wanted me to put in my code 447 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: because you know, there could be some very private information 448 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: in there. But again, Mike, you can do that by 449 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: just going into the settings uh default apps and switching 450 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: that over and hopefully that should help. But yeah, I agree, 451 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, Windows, they do give you a 452 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: lot of options, and power users know how to kind 453 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: of tweak every single little thing. But I think the 454 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: average person just kind of deals with what Microsoft gives them. 455 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: And that's what companies like because most people are not 456 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: changing the defaults. They're just using whatever they get, and 457 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: that is an advantage for these companies that want to 458 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: propagate their software to everyone. Thanks for the call. Eight 459 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: eight eight Rich one oh one eight eight eight seven 460 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Glad you got 461 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: the other. I remember Mike called a couple of weeks 462 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: ago about another question with his router, and he actually 463 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: got that fixed, which is great to hear. Let's see 464 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: what let me tell you more about CS some of 465 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: these things I saw. Okay, so I guess I'll tell 466 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: you the oddest thing that I saw. And I've got 467 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: it right here. I'm not even you can hear the 468 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: packaging a gadget call. Now at CES, there's a whole 469 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: bunch of stuff, right, there's like stuff you might see 470 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: in the future, stuff you may never see, prototypes, concepts, 471 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: stuff that's coming out, you know. Like TCL they launched 472 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: their new flagship TV and they made it available that day, 473 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: Like that's never done practically. Most companies announce stuff and 474 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: then it's another three to six months before you can 475 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: actually get it. TCL actually made their TV. Let me 476 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: see if I can get the the actual name of 477 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: the TV, because I went to this whole big TCL briefing. Yeah, okay, 478 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: it is the let's see what it was. It was 479 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: the Oh yes, it's the sq D. So their TCL 480 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: SQD X eleven l that's their twenty twenty six flagship 481 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: X eleven l SQD Mini LED And this thing is 482 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: like super It looks amazing, by the way, Like this 483 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: TV is incredible, Like the screen is so good, it's 484 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: almost old. Like they showed it next to an olead 485 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: and it looked better than an OLEAD. So I was 486 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: very impressed with this thing. But what they did was 487 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: they made it available the same day they announced it, 488 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: which is like, no one does that. So I love 489 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: that because like people like me that want something, you 490 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: don't have to wait another three to six months for it. 491 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: But this this odd gadget that I have in my 492 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: hands here, it's called Lollipop Star, and it is a 493 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: lollipop that plays music in your head. So when you 494 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: put this thing in your mouth, uses bone conduction technology 495 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: to let you hear music. So a lot of headphones 496 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: and earplugs are at earplugs, you know, earbuds will use 497 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: bone conduction or not really earbuds, I guess it's really 498 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: it kind of going the outside of your ear. And 499 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: so this lollipop uses that same technology, and so you 500 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: turn the thing on. It's a real lollipop, but the 501 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: bottom of the stick has like electronics built in and 502 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: then you can hear music. And this one I have 503 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: is from Ice Spice. It's a pink peach pink frost 504 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: and it's a white peach strawberry ice lollipop and you 505 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: put it in your mouth and you basically hear music. 506 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: It plays up to sixty minutes and when it's over, 507 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: that's it. You got to throw out the whole thing, 508 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: which is kind of wasteful because it's a one time 509 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: used thing, but and it's also unique. Nine dollars for 510 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: the lollipop, lollipop stars the name. But here's what I 511 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: love about ces. This is and this is why I 512 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: think if you, if you own a small business, if 513 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: you are someone it has like a little candy shop 514 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: or something, you need to come to shows like this. 515 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: Why because you need something that is on the cutting 516 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 1: edge to attract customers to your business. And so if 517 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: you run a candy shop, I saw a machine that 518 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: three D prints chocolate figurines. You want that in your 519 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: candy shop because it's gonna give you an advantage over 520 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: when people are walking down some main street and some 521 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: little vacation city they're going to and they come at 522 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: your candy shop and they see the same old candy, 523 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: you know, the salty saltwater taffy and the gummy bears 524 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Okay, I've seen all this stuff. 525 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: They'll walk around for a minute. But when you have 526 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: an attraction like this, like a lollipop that plays music, 527 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: yeah it's silly, but it's something nobody's seen before. So 528 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: now you're gonna have that curiosity factor of someone's gonna 529 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: come in. They've got discretionary money, they're on vacation, they're 530 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: gonna buy it, and now you've just made more money 531 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: for your business. Same thing with this machine. It's called 532 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: the Choco Print chalco Print. This is one of the 533 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: videos that also is going viral on my Instagram rich 534 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: on tech. This is a vending machine that three D 535 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: prints chocolate figurines. Now people are debating the merits of it. 536 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: The company that was demoing it made a mistake. The 537 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: mistake is that they put the sample price, like the 538 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: price on the screen was like twenty dollars for the figurine, 539 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: which is not really what people are going to be paying. 540 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: They said it's more like five to six dollars. So 541 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: when you're demoing a machine. Don't put a really expensive 542 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: price on the screen because people are all fixated on 543 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: the price, which is not really representative what people are 544 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: actually going to pay for this thing, this little figurine. 545 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: So you pick your design. It makes a whole bunch 546 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: of different designs, everything from like little rabbits to you know, 547 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: different NFL helmets, whatever, And then you choose your design. 548 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: You take a tray, you put it in the machine, 549 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: and some people are saying, Okay, I don't like that 550 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: because people are putting their hands into the machine. And 551 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: then the little three D print head prints out the 552 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: design with chocolate, and it takes about, you know, three 553 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: to four minutes for this to happen. You get to 554 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: watch it, so you get to show and then it 555 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: pops out, little figurine. You can keep it, you can 556 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: eat it, you can show your friends. You'll probably take 557 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: a picture of it and post it to social media. 558 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: And the machine itself is about twelve thousand dollars. Nobody's 559 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying you're buying that machine unless 560 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: you ran a small business. But you can see how 561 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: you can make a return on this. But again, I'm 562 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: not saying that this machine is going to succeed or fail. 563 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: But it's one of these things where when you are 564 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: and this is kind of like why I go to 565 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: all this stuff, you have to be aware of what's 566 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: out there so that when people ask you about things, 567 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: you know what the market has and what it doesn't have. 568 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: So there's so many things like that. I saw another 569 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: idea in the market. Now I'm gonna I'll talk about this, 570 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: but there's this little there's this little section that I 571 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: personally love of CS called Eureka Park. These are all 572 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: the kind of scrappy startups from all over the world, 573 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: and they usually have just one little product that they 574 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: are just launching. I think that one of the people 575 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: told me the product has to launch at CS, like 576 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,479 Speaker 1: it can't be something that's been on the market. Has 577 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: to at least a new version or a new feature. 578 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: But one of these things was a digital lock for 579 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: bathrooms at like a gas station, and you would have 580 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: to tap to pay to get into the lock, which 581 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: I thought was really interesting. It is called flush Locks USA, 582 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: and they're gonna start selling this thing and it just 583 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: looks like a digital lock for your front door, except 584 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: it's got a screen pad, it's got number keys, on it. 585 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: It's got tap to pay and you can open this 586 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: bathroom door by yourself if you pay the dollar ninety 587 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: nine for access. Now you may be saying rich, that's 588 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: so evil. I have public restrooms. A public restroom. Yeah, 589 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: have you been to public restroom lately? They're horrific. I mean, 590 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: the things that have happened in there are like I 591 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: don't even know. And so I would gladly pay a 592 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: dollar for a clean restroom on a road trip. Why not? 593 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: And so this company's gonna start putting these things in 594 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: the marketplace. We'll see. I don't know if that's gonna work. 595 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the rules and regulation are. 596 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: But a lot of these places you go into, they're like, sorry, 597 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: no public restroom. But if you're making money on your 598 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: restroom and people are happy to pay for a clean restroom, 599 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a win win situation for a lot 600 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: of people. So again, all these ideas you see at CS. 601 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: It's still a place where new ideas take flight, and 602 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: I love to be there for that. And I've got 603 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: many more to tell you about. I got to tell 604 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: you about these color changing press on nails. Unbelievable. I 605 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: don't know how they work, but that's a wild thing. 606 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: Eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight eight 607 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one.

It eats 623 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 3: into my funds. 624 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well you just gotta you gotta go with digital, 625 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: a digital door lock and a digital thermostat. So what 626 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: do you have right now for those things you just 627 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: you said you have a lock box or just a physical. 628 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 3: Everything's just manual. Now. The thermostat's you know, battery operated 629 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 3: like digital thermostat and it controls electric heat. 630 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: Do you have a Wi Fi cant? Do you have 631 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: a router or Wi Fi connection? 632 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 3: Yes, d r bo if you have a dr bio 633 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 3: in this neck of the witch, you need to have 634 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 3: a high speed internet, so yes, I do. 635 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: Okay, perfect. So I was gonna say, I mean, I 636 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, unless people are trying to stay there to 637 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: disconnect from everything, you gotta have you gotta have Wi Fi. 638 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean that would be a problem if you didn't. Okay, 639 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: Well you can. So I have one of these locks 640 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: on my door, like the smart lock, and basically you 641 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: can create different codes for different people, so you can 642 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: do it right from the app. You can do it instantly. 643 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: It will update. Now I'm looking online right now, and 644 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: it's interesting because you're using Verbo. It looks like some 645 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: of these actually integrate with the app, so I would 646 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: look to see it right now, I'm only seeing it. 647 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: Looks like Airbnb has a couple of models that integrate 648 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: with the app, which means when someone rents a place 649 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: on Airbnb, it generates a code for the front door 650 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: and then it sends it to your lock, so that 651 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: person has a unique code and that's it. It only works 652 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: for them when they flog in, which is, by the way, 653 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: would be a lot less work for you. 654 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, how often I might lose some control over 655 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 3: it too. I don't just go through rent it from 656 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,479 Speaker 3: vrbo iver in it through other sources also. 657 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: Okay, well, the good news is you it's easy to 658 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: do this, so you've got I mean, Schlague is the 659 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: one that I've tested that I like. It works and 660 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: you can definitely do that remotely. So you would just 661 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: get one of these. I mean, they have a whole 662 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: bunch of different ones, but the encode plus uh, you know, 663 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: just look for one of those that they have and 664 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: they will let you change the codes from the app 665 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: and you can have up to one hundred codes. Now, 666 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: you probably want one that's a little bit more reinforced 667 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: because it's gonna be used by a lot of people, right, 668 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: so you want to make sure you're getting a heavy 669 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 1: duty one that's number one. Yale is another brand that 670 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: has one that you know is obviously very popular as well. 671 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,239 Speaker 1: I'm trying to look at this one let's see, uh, 672 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: it's got some good weather resistance and it's got the 673 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: Wi Fi connect. Okay, that's good. And then let's see okay, 674 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: and then there's one called Lockley. That one's interesting. I'm 675 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: not familiar with that, but it's it's coming up here 676 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: and it's saying that basically, it can issue offline access code, 677 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: so if the internet connection ever happened to go down, 678 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: it would still work with a code offline, which could 679 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: be interesting. But it looks like a lot of these 680 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: things can have up to one hundred codes at one time, 681 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,719 Speaker 1: so you could either rotate through those codes or just 682 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: give you know, sign people a code however you want 683 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: to do it. But that's definitely easily doable. So that's 684 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: number one. When it comes to the thermostat, I would say, 685 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there's really two thermostats out there that are 686 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: good for this sort of thing. I would say the 687 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: Nest thermostat is kind of like, you know, it's the 688 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: thermostat that invented the entire genre of smart thermostats. So 689 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: the neat thing about the Nest thermostat, and a lot 690 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: of the other ones do this too, is that they 691 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: do have presence sensing built in, so even if the 692 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: people leave this airbeing or this verbo and they forget 693 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: to turn it down like you ask them to, this 694 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: thermostat is smart enough to know when everyone leaves the 695 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: house and it's vacated, it will automatically fault to the 696 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 1: temperature that you set in the app to go, or 697 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: you could just go into the app and manually set that. 698 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of ways to do that. But 699 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: those are the two things that you need to get 700 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: this set up. And I think your your guests will 701 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: really appreciate that. I think a lot of them will 702 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: know how to use the nest, so I would probably 703 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: go with that. The other, the other one that a 704 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: lot of people like is called ecob or echo be 705 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: on how I say it, but it's that's they make 706 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: smart thermostats that a lot of people like as well, 707 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: and they also have thermostats that have those presence detection 708 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: sensors in them as well. So those are your options, Mark, 709 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna really help you out there. Pretty cool. 710 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's a nice little business to have. You 711 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: got those got that rental property, you got people coming in. 712 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: I you know, I've only stayed in a handful of 713 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: these airbnbs or these verbos. I think they're really interesting. 714 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: I think that you know, it's it serves such a 715 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: purpose for what you want to do. Right, Like if 716 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: you're like we had you know, my my mother in 717 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: law's birthday at like this giant house that we rented, right, 718 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: you can't you can't have two four, six, eight, ten, twelve, 719 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,959 Speaker 1: you know, twelve people in a how in a hotel room? 720 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: Like you just can't do that. I mean maybe there's 721 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: an hotel room, but it's like, you know, and plus 722 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: you had this great estate, you had this great pool, 723 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: so it's really amazing. How again, when you look at 724 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: what Airbnb invented, And I went to the Airbnb event 725 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: this year where you know the guy who started it, 726 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: he just Brian Cheskey talks about you know, how he 727 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: came up with this idea and it was just literally 728 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: him and a couple of people in San Francisco, and 729 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: I think there was a conference coming to town, and 730 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: he said, hey, why don't we put some like air 731 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,959 Speaker 1: mattresses on the floor and rent them out to people 732 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: that are coming to this conference it's like a tech conference. 733 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: And sure enough that is now a multi billion dollar company, 734 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: and people have made a living getting places, renting places, 735 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: making their places great. 736 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 4: You know. 737 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so amazing that when you think 738 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 1: about and I guess I'm just inspired right now because 739 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: of everything I saw at CES. There's still so many 740 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: ideas out there that there's just waiting to be born. 741 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: And you know, people may be frustrated, they may say, oh, 742 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: everything's been thought of. Sometimes all you have to do 743 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: is modify an idea to make it better. I mean, 744 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: who would have thought that a guy with an air 745 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 1: mattress would take on Marriot. If you told me that, 746 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: you'd say, no, way, you can't. Mariot's got a hotel 747 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: in every every single city in the world. And you know, 748 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: now people stay in Airbnb. It's a it's a proprietary eponym. 749 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: No one said, you know, no one says I'm gonna 750 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: stay in Marriot. They say I'm gonna stay in a hotel, 751 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: but they do say I'm gonna stay in Airbnb. Eighty 752 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: eight Rich one O one eighty eight seven four to 753 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: two four one zero one more after this, Welcome back 754 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: to rich On Tech. Rich Tomuro here hanging out with you, 755 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: talking technology. Triple eight rich one oh one eight eight 756 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. I 757 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 1: am looking at an incredible view right now of the 758 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: Las Vegas sphere. Wizard of Oz is playing today at 759 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: eleven am and two pm. Buy tickets now I can 760 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: see that. Yeah, if you have not seen this fear 761 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: in real life, it is quite incredible. It's been outside 762 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: my hotel room. Yes, I'm broadcasting live from Las Vegas 763 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: this week because of CS and CS is the big 764 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: technology show that everyone from around the world pretty much attends. 765 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: Not open to the public, by the way, so don't 766 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: try to come. We were talking to some folks at 767 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 1: the bar last night and he said, Oh, I wanted 768 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,240 Speaker 1: to go to the show see all those cool robots 769 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: and things. And I realized you can't. You can't buy 770 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 1: a ticket. No, you cannot. But I've talked to CS 771 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: about this. I said, you guys need to do one 772 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: day where the public can come to the show. You 773 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 1: would make so much money. The public would gladly pay 774 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, thirty forty fifty dollars for a ticket 775 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: to see all this cool stuff. Now, the floor is 776 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: crowded as it is, so I don't think they would 777 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: do it during the normal show, but maybe you stay 778 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: open an extra day and you let the public in. 779 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 1: They would love to experience this stuff. I mean, it's 780 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: not a year goes by where people say, Rich, I 781 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 1: would love to go to CES. I want to see that. 782 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 1: But I'm still here looking at I can see the 783 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: convention center. By the way, they remodeled the convention Center 784 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: this year. It was kind of a surprise. Maybe a 785 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: couple years ago they remodeled one of the wings. Now 786 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: they've remodeled I think it was a west wing. Now 787 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: they've remodeled the north and central hallwing, and it looks incredible. 788 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's now a proper entrance to this convention center. 789 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: And I think they still have the South wing to go. 790 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: That's the final wing to be remodeled. But you know, 791 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: there's only a couple of cities that can handle a 792 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: giant conference like this. I think Orlando's one of them. 793 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I'm not sure where else can handle you 794 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand people at the same time 795 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: in a city, especially with the hotel rooms just absorbing that. 796 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: Saw so many cool things that CS. I'll get to 797 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: a call in just a second, but let me just 798 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: tell you about this one. I just got a If 799 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: you haven't checked out my instagram at rich on Tech, 800 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,280 Speaker 1: you gotta go there. I've got so many things posted 801 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: from CS and they're just so fun. I posted the 802 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: most visual stuff at richon Tech on Instagram. Just just 803 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: scroll through and just have a you know, just sit 804 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: down your couch have you know, still listen to the 805 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: show obviously, but just you know, maybe grab a a 806 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: soda or whatever you want. I mean, I'm not telling 807 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: you if drink soda, but you know what I mean, 808 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: and you know, just sit there and scroll. It's fun. 809 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many cool visual things from this show. 810 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: One of them I saw is this startup called eye Polish. 811 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: They're making color changing press on nails. They are digital 812 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what this material is, but you pick 813 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: a color on the iPad. Yeah, it sends it via 814 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 1: bluetooth to this little device. You pop your nail into 815 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: the device and suddenly the nail flickers and the color changes. 816 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: And yes, if you watch Total Recall, I've got a 817 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 1: whole bunch of people sending me the clip from that movie. 818 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: It's exactly what it looked like in that movie where 819 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: the person taps their finger and the color of their 820 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: nail changes. And I watched this demo of this girl 821 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: changing the color of her nails a bunch of times, 822 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: and I still couldn't figure out how it's done, and 823 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: she couldn't really explain it either, So I said, how 824 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: is this being done? What kind of digital witchcraft is this? 825 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: It is really cool. The device is going to sell 826 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,399 Speaker 1: for like one hundred dollars and then each individual set 827 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: of nails is you know, it sounded pretty reasonable. I 828 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: can't remember the exact price, but it wasn't overly crazy. 829 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, you can change. Let's say you put these on. 830 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: They last about two weeks. You put these on your nails, 831 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: and every single day you can change the color of 832 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,439 Speaker 1: your nails to match your outfit. Now I'm not doing 833 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 1: this personally, but I could see the appeal. My wife, 834 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 1: she loves. During the pandemic, she found these like press 835 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: on nails. Remember back in the day when I was 836 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: a kid, they had Lee press on nails. I remember that. 837 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: I think that was the name, right. I could just 838 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: it's just like it's seared in my head from when 839 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: I was a kid, Lee press on nails famous since 840 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties. Now she uses a different brand. Oh 841 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: it's called Dashing Divas. That's right. See, these are the 842 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: things I know because I see the bill. But Dashing 843 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,879 Speaker 1: Divas she discovered during the pandemic and she loves them. Now, 844 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: it's a lot of work. She's sitting there at our 845 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: table and she literally looks like she working in a 846 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: nail salon. She's like filing her nails putting all these 847 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: things on. It takes a lot of work, but they 848 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: look great, especially for you know, at home nails. But 849 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: now we're taking a step further. You gotta check out 850 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: the video again. The company is called I Polish.

I try, I read, 872 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 6: I've downloaded it. I tried importing from last Pass and 873 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,439 Speaker 6: I can't get it to work. 874 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,359 Speaker 2: Really, I was wondering if you have if you. 875 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 6: Have a simple plot, a simplified instructions for that. 876 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 1: Okay, let me let me see Bitwarden import from Last Past. 877 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: I think they would have it on their help page. 878 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: I did this recently and I found the process to 879 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: be quite easy. So I will definitely link up the 880 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 1: help page that bitwarden has. But where how are you? 881 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: Where are you doing this? Are you doing this on 882 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: your computer or on your smartphone? 883 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 2: On my computer? 884 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: Okay? So when you open up Last Past, you found 885 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: the ability to export your vault correct, correct, okay, and 886 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:20,280 Speaker 1: you get. 887 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 9: That file file yeah. 888 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: Okay, you saved it to an Excel file. Yes, okay, 889 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: that might be the problem. You gotta say. Well, okay, 890 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: now when you say excel, is it a CSV that's 891 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: a comma separated value file? Is that with the dot CSV? 892 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Okay? 893 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 3: Good? 894 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Excel okay. 895 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,280 Speaker 1: Okay, so you don't need to open it in Excel. 896 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 1: Do you don't need to open this at all? So 897 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: don't open it, export it and then don't open it. Okay, 898 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 1: that's number one. Now, once you once you get that file, 899 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: that export dot CSV, you're going to go into bitwarden 900 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: on your computer. Okay, And I'm trying to see if 901 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: you can do this. Yes, so you have to do this, Yeah, 902 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: you can do this on your computer. You have a 903 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: Chrome web browser. 904 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah okay. 905 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: So did you install the bitwarden extension on your web browser? 906 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 8: Yeah? 907 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 1: Okay, so you did that. Now, when you go into 908 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: settings on bitwarden, can you open up there? Can you 909 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: open up bitwarten, go to settings. Once you go there, 910 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: you'll see vault options and it says import items. You 911 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: tap that and then you go and you look at 912 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: your data. It says data file and it will say 913 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: last pass, so you tap that, and then it even 914 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: gives you an option to import directly directly from last pass. 915 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: You can try that, but I think you already have 916 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: the CSV, so just do that. You choose your file, 917 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: and it will import all of those passwords into bitwarden 918 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: and that's it. It should be pretty straightforward. Have you 919 00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: done all those steps? Okay, well I think we lost Joan, 920 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: but sorry, Vanessa. But if you've done those steps, it 921 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: should be pretty straightforward, and then when you go into bitwarden, 922 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: all of your passwords should be in your vault. Now 923 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: I did this recently and it really is a quite 924 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: easy process and there's really not much more you have 925 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: to do other than that. The only thing I will 926 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,240 Speaker 1: I will tell you Vanessa, once you're done with that file, 927 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 1: I would delete it and get rid of it, because 928 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 1: the reason you want to get rid of it is 929 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: because it has all of your passwords on there, So 930 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: definitely delete that. You don't want that lingering around getting 931 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: in the wrong hands, and then you can go in. 932 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: Now what I would do is don't go ahead and 933 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 1: delete last past. The first day. You do this, give 934 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: yourself a couple of weeks of overlap. That's what I 935 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: did for myself when I change from my old password manager, 936 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: And so you give yourself a couple of weeks of 937 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,800 Speaker 1: overlap because if you're having trouble you can't find a password, 938 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 1: something imported wrong, you can go back to last pass 939 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: and find that password and correct it. But you can 940 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 1: always do a password reset nine times out of ten 941 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: and before you get you know, once you're up and 942 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,720 Speaker 1: running on bitwarden, then you can go into last Pass. 943 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: You can delete your account, you can delete the app, 944 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 1: get rid of everything, and you can now finally, you know, 945 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: completely use bitwarden in your day to day. But that's 946 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,760 Speaker 1: what I would recommends. That's the process that I used, 947 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 1: and it worked pretty well. And I'm not look nothing 948 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: against last Pass, nothing against all these other password managers. 949 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 1: But Bitwarden is completely free. And you may be saying, well, rich, 950 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 1: if it's free, it can't be that good. It is good. 951 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,399 Speaker 1: And I've met with the CEO. I've talked to them 952 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: extensively about their plan and their product, and they do 953 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: open source a lot of it so that people can 954 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 1: check to make sure what they're doing is on the 955 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: up and up. That's a great thing. And why is 956 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 1: it free? Well, even if you want it to pay 957 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 1: for bitwarden, the personal pricing is so cheap that, in fact, 958 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 1: I got an email this week someone said, hey, rich 959 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,959 Speaker 1: why don't you just pay just to support them, which 960 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: I probably will do. It's like ten bucks.

It knows exactly how 998 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,359 Speaker 1: I write my emails, which by the way, are usually 999 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 1: like one or two words, but it will suggest replies 1000 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: in my own voice. That's all going to be free, 1001 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: and that's rolling out to Gmail users now in the US, 1002 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 1: so don't be surprised if you start typing an email 1003 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,319 Speaker 1: and it wants to help you write it. That used 1004 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: to be a paid feature which I've been using for 1005 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 1: a long time. Now everyone's getting it, which is incredible. 1006 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 1: Also summarized, so when you look at the top of 1007 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,360 Speaker 1: your email, it'll have a little summary of the email, 1008 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: which is really helpful, especially when you get into like 1009 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 1: a long back and forth with someone, you could just 1010 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 1: see what the latest is. And then smart replies you're getting, 1011 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,839 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, more personal with the way 1012 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: that you do that. Now, this is the other cool 1013 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 1: thing that it's getting that is just truly, truly incredible. 1014 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: They have basically taken all of your emails. Now this 1015 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: is for paid users, and they are now letting you 1016 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: search those through those emails the way you would search 1017 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: with a chatbot. So I don't know about you, but 1018 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 1: you know, you make a reservation for something, you trying 1019 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: to find that exact email with that information, you can 1020 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: never find it quickly for some reason. Now, AI Overview 1021 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 1: will synthesize the information. It will scour your inbox, find 1022 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: the information, even if it's across a whole bunch of 1023 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: different emails, and put that into a little summary up 1024 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 1: at the top, just the way that AI is doing 1025 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 1: it on CHATGBT, the way that AI is doing it 1026 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: on AI overview for Google, or when you see that 1027 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: little AI summary up at the top of your search. 1028 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: Now that's going to happen in Gmail, but you have 1029 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 1: to be a paying Gmail user to get that. And 1030 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: I am, and I already have it, and it is 1031 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 1: so amazing. You can ask questions of your email, your 1032 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,799 Speaker 1: past twenty years of emails. You can ask questions just 1033 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,319 Speaker 1: like you would an AI chatbop. And it's only programmed 1034 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 1: on your emails. Now I know, before you send me 1035 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: the angry emails. Yes, this is private. Google is not 1036 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,239 Speaker 1: using your email to train their AI box. They're not 1037 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: sharing your information with anyone else. This is all done 1038 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: a very private way. Think about as your email is 1039 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: a little vault, and their AI box can look into 1040 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 1: that vault, but it can't share that information with anyone else, 1041 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: nor is it being trained on that vault. So come on, 1042 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 1: this is Google. They're gonna do things in a private 1043 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: way because they know there would be backlash if they didn't. 1044 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 1: So I am absolutely loving that feature. Now, the new feature, 1045 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 1: the super new feature that I'm testing that is only 1046 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: available to a handful of people, and I beg them 1047 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 1: to give me. This is called AI Inbox. And this 1048 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 1: just takes your whole email, changes the way your inbox 1049 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: looks completely, and it gives you as soon as you 1050 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 1: get to the top, it says, hey, right, you have 1051 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: eleven suggested to do s and fourteen topics to catch 1052 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 1: up on. And it gives me all the things I 1053 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,720 Speaker 1: need to do in my inbox that are like pressing, 1054 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,799 Speaker 1: whether it's paying a bill, whether it's an RSVP, whether 1055 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 1: it's a reply, whether it's a sign an agreement, submit 1056 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: a time card, pay your taxes, update billion information. I mean, 1057 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,320 Speaker 1: this is stuff that's on there right now. It's amazing, 1058 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: It's totally amazing. Then you've got topics to catch up on, 1059 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 1: and it's got all the little things that you need 1060 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: to know that people wrote you in an email, like 1061 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: ten thousand characters, but it summarizes it and it organizes it. 1062 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 1: It is truly incredible. I will be such a productive 1063 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 1: person because of this. But Google, if you're listening on 1064 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 1: these suggested to dos, you need a checkbox so I 1065 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,359 Speaker 1: can get rid of it, because I already it says 1066 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: you have to update my ex billing information. I already 1067 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 1: did that. I figured it out. Now I want to 1068 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,239 Speaker 1: get rid of that card. So I need a way 1069 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: to get rid of that, and it's not there yet. 1070 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: But again, it's day two, so I'll give you a 1071 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,360 Speaker 1: little bit of a break there.

You 1154 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 1: gave out awards at the show, so you've got a 1155 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,720 Speaker 1: whole bunch of a list of gadgets that won year awards. 1156 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm just going to go down the list of some 1157 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,239 Speaker 1: things that I think are interesting and you can kind 1158 00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 1: of give me a couple thoughts about them very you know, 1159 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 1: quickly obviously, so I want to get through as many 1160 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,319 Speaker 1: as possible. The Pawport Smart pet door. Why did you 1161 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 1: give that an award? 1162 00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 3: What is that? 1163 00:56:58,680 --> 00:56:58,879 Speaker 4: Yes? 1164 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 11: So then we saw that to you years ago. We 1165 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 11: really liked the idea, but it was more of like 1166 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,279 Speaker 11: a kickstarter thing. And then two years later they come 1167 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 11: out with one, and they said it's so much more doorable, 1168 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 11: Like it opens up the doggy door, the traditional doggy door, 1169 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 11: but it does it with either an app or motion, right, 1170 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 11: So it's kind of like one of these smart door locks, 1171 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 11: but for your pet. And now it's bulletproof, so that's 1172 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 11: how durable it is. And I was like, you know what, 1173 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 11: I don't think by my dogs would be packing, but 1174 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,320 Speaker 11: just you know. 1175 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 1: Your dogs would be like, let me in. Now the 1176 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 1: dog has like a little a little like dongle on 1177 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: the chain on the the collar right to only open 1178 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 1: it for them, isn't that part of it? Yes? 1179 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 11: And like you wolf can't get in, and they yes, 1180 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 11: they demonstrated to us, and it was, uh, you know, 1181 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 11: is it in working order? 1182 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,479 Speaker 9: It went out sale Black Friday. Of this past year. 1183 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 11: So it is out there and that's why we're like, Okay, 1184 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 11: this is mature enough where it's actually in consumers homes. 1185 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 11: And it reminds me of something that should be, you know, 1186 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 11: on the Jets, and it reminds me of the future. 1187 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 11: And I don't know if you remember that scene from 1188 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 11: Home Alone where Marv gets into the doggy door for 1189 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 11: Kevin mcgows's home. This stops something like that, right, you 1190 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 11: don't want to open, you know, door, So this is 1191 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,000 Speaker 11: something in the future, has like two swinging doors that 1192 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 11: come open. 1193 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 9: Very cool. 1194 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty smart. And make sure no other critters 1195 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 1: get into your house either. Okay, this was a trend 1196 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: we saw over and over, these smart glasses, the even 1197 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 1: Realities G two. I tried these on. They kind of 1198 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: have a little screen in them. What do you think 1199 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 1: Even Realities is doing well with these? 1200 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,560 Speaker 11: I think it's the fact that there's the smart glasses 1201 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,800 Speaker 11: that don't have the screen, and then there's the Apple 1202 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 11: Vision pro on the other side, and there's certain companies 1203 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 11: ray Ben or there's a companies like a Rainio and 1204 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 11: Even Realities that are starting to put a screen inside. 1205 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 11: Ray Ben is doing it with the meta glasses, but 1206 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 11: the functionality doesn't work for me nearly as well. 1207 00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 9: And this did all right. It's simple. 1208 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 11: It has heads up display, kind of like your Some 1209 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 11: cars have those heads up displays. 1210 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,080 Speaker 9: I think that's the intriguing part. 1211 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,120 Speaker 11: It's it's getting to the middle of I want a display, 1212 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 11: but I don't need the Apple Vision pro. I just 1213 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,280 Speaker 11: want something that's telling the information, that's give given me 1214 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 11: notifications that I can use as you know, when I 1215 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 11: need to read a script for on air, Like I 1216 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 11: find that intriguing. 1217 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay, now did you test the teleprompter functionality, 1218 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 1: because it's really cool. But the thing that they need 1219 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 1: to figure out is they need to make the screen 1220 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 1: sort of float in front of you more than move 1221 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: around every time your head moves. You know, that's the 1222 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 1: only issue. Because I'm not kidding, this is game changing. 1223 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 1: If we can get that teleprompter. I want a circuit 1224 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 1: of a speaking circuit just with these glasses, like I 1225 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,160 Speaker 1: will bring it.

Uh, you want to pick something, Yeah, 1238 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 11: let's go with the lg EVO C six and W six. 1239 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 11: So the W six is more intriguing to me than 1240 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 11: anything because again it's, oh, it's a wallpaper TV. 1241 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 1: Have you seen this?

Is that the. 1244 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 11: Size exactly right? And you know that is something that 1245 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 11: stands out at me. It's when this this technology is 1246 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 11: not only vibrant, which it is and it has all 1247 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 11: the you know, the resolution capabilities that you need, but 1248 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 11: it fits into a home where you're not It's almost 1249 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,640 Speaker 11: like an art piece in a lot of ways. Where 1250 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 11: it does look like wallpaper, you could mistake it for 1251 01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 11: blending into the rest of your wall. I found that 1252 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 11: super interesting and uh and at the same time, I'll 1253 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 11: go ahead and say another one. Samsung has a one 1254 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:18,200 Speaker 11: hundred and thirty inch micro RGBTV. It looks like it's 1255 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 11: on an easel. That's that's how they actually have it 1256 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 11: set up. 1257 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, oh that okay, so that was how they 1258 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: that's how they present it. I thought that was just 1259 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,560 Speaker 1: for the show. But that's how you could have it 1260 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:27,120 Speaker 1: in your house. 1261 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,320 Speaker 11: I believe you know, they're they're pitching it as you know. 1262 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 11: This is for someone who's building their mansion and they're 1263 01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,360 Speaker 11: they're choosing the TV and building the house around around it. 1264 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 1: So you'd have to put the TV in first and 1265 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,000 Speaker 1: build the walls around it because it's so big. 1266 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 11: That's the only way you have to do it.

This was pretty cool. 1306 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 1: It's like basically every way you can imagine getting into 1307 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:33,880 Speaker 1: your lock, they've got it built in. 1308 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:34,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1309 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 11: They have actually five ways you can tap into it, 1310 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 11: including the past code, including traditional key, but also face unlocked. 1311 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,480 Speaker 11: So my Q has built a really good face unlocked 1312 01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 11: feature that I haven't seen in a lot of other 1313 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 11: smart locks. 1314 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 9: There are other smart locks. 1315 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 11: There's actually a lot of smart locks at cees, but 1316 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 11: this one kind of intrigued me. It's a dead boat, 1317 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 11: it's a security camera, and of course it's a smart 1318 01:03:55,880 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 11: lock that unlocks when you approach it, and that that 1319 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,640 Speaker 11: to me. I see a lot of these airbnbs, which 1320 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,479 Speaker 11: is very cool, these these smart locks, because it beach 1321 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 11: trying to fetch a lock from a little lock box 1322 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,680 Speaker 11: and It just makes things so much more seamless. When 1323 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 11: there's a keypad on there, there's face on lock, there's 1324 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:19,560 Speaker 11: traditional locks, there's fingerprint sss, there's lots of ways to 1325 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 11: access your home. And also what I like is my 1326 01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,680 Speaker 11: parents have you know, they have a Yale lock and 1327 01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 11: a nest those kind those are kind of outdated. 1328 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,760 Speaker 9: This is the whole package. It's a three on one device. 1329 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. All right, we may have time for 1330 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 1: one more. Let's try. Let's do one more of your 1331 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:40,959 Speaker 1: choice and we'll see if we have time for one more. 1332 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 11: Sure, let's go with the Legion Lenovo Legion pro Rollable. 1333 01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,960 Speaker 11: This to me was it's got our Best Concept award. 1334 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,400 Speaker 11: What I really liked about this is it expands the 1335 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 11: screen on a gaming laptop. Right, Lenovo also has this 1336 01:04:58,120 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 11: on like a regular laptop that goes up and down. 1337 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 11: This takes a screen and makes it wider, so like 1338 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,439 Speaker 11: a sixteen by nine by like a twenty one by nine, 1339 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,040 Speaker 11: and it expands out. Usually with these out Yeah, so 1340 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:13,240 Speaker 11: usually with these screens we see we see like expanding 1341 01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 11: screens or like unfolding screens on a thin and light 1342 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 11: device that kind of sacrifices some performance. We see that 1343 01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 11: all the time. This is a gaming laptop. So that's 1344 01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,000 Speaker 11: what really intrigued me about this. It's one of my 1345 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 11: favorite things of the show. Lenovo always brings good concepts 1346 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 11: to see. Yes, it's things that you may not see 1347 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 11: in reality on sore shelves for like five years. But 1348 01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:39,200 Speaker 11: you know, their legion lineup of gaming laptops is very good. 1349 01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 11: This might be the future where you're like, I need 1350 01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,720 Speaker 11: more screen space, but also I need to stow this 1351 01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 11: in my backpack. 1352 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 9: So the fact that you can do gaming is a 1353 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:50,000 Speaker 9: huge thing. 1354 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: It looks like that XPEC I don't know how you 1355 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,200 Speaker 1: say that z beec those screens that you attach those 1356 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 1: laptop screen extenders on the sides. It looks like that 1357 01:05:58,840 --> 01:05:59,920 Speaker 1: built into the laptop. 1358 01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 9: That's a great analogy. 1359 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 11: And I'm not quite sold on having wings on my 1360 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 11: screen for you know, accessories kind of like you mentioned, 1361 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 11: I see those sold in Walmart and Amazon all the time. 1362 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 11: This having it built in is kind of luxury. It's 1363 01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,840 Speaker 11: it's motorized. We were having so much fun playing with it. 1364 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that that will actually I think that will 1365 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 1: happen because it's it's something that every single person that 1366 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,080 Speaker 1: has a laptop needs. You always need that screen real estate, 1367 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 1: especially with you know, these chat apps and the things 1368 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 1: you want to keep in the sidebar.

So 1469 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,679 Speaker 1: it's okay, manage change plan. 1470 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:41,599 Speaker 7: Answer. 1471 01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:47,200 Speaker 1: So it's managed change plan. Cancel my billing, cancel subscription, 1472 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 1: and that's it. This will be out of your life. 1473 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,000 Speaker 1: You'll still have AOL. You may have to download a 1474 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 1: new version of that Desktop Gold, or it may just 1475 01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,360 Speaker 1: the desktop Gold naming may just disappear. But I think 1476 01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 1: no matter what, you'll still you're all account will still 1477 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,280 Speaker 1: be there. Everything will still be intact. Do you still 1478 01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,080 Speaker 1: use the AOL email? Is that what you use? 1479 01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:05,720 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1480 01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:08,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that will still be there. It's just all 1481 01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,960 Speaker 1: going to be free. Which, by the way, I mean, 1482 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,439 Speaker 1: you know, they they probably got people to subscribe to 1483 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,120 Speaker 1: this AOL Desktop Gold just because back in the day 1484 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,439 Speaker 1: people were used to paying for AOL, then it became 1485 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 1: free because of high speed internet, and now they're trying 1486 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: to you know, they tried to get people to pay again. 1487 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 1: Nobody's really paying for this, So go ahead and do that. 1488 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,599 Speaker 1: I will link this up on the website.

Welcome back to rich On tech. Rich Demiro 1506 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:24,360 Speaker 1: here hanging out with you, talking technology, Triple eight Rich 1507 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,720 Speaker 1: one on one eight eight eight seven four to two 1508 01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:31,160 Speaker 1: four one zero one, coming to you live from Las Vegas. Yes, 1509 01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 1: the site of CS twenty twenty six. A lot of 1510 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,320 Speaker 1: people ask, what does CES stand for? Doesn't stand for 1511 01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,640 Speaker 1: anything anymore. Used to be Consumer Electronics Show. Now it 1512 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,519 Speaker 1: is just CEES. That is the name of the show, 1513 01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,200 Speaker 1: and that's to reflect kind of the changing nature of 1514 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,479 Speaker 1: all this technology. I mean, there's so many things on 1515 01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,320 Speaker 1: the show floor, more so than just the TVs and 1516 01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 1: the radios and the DVD players and TVO made its 1517 01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,120 Speaker 1: debut here. I mean, so many gadgets over the years 1518 01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,760 Speaker 1: made their debut here. I've been covering this show for 1519 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,599 Speaker 1: more than fifteen years, if you can believe it. I 1520 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 1: remember my very first show. I was with CNET and 1521 01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,759 Speaker 1: I stayed in the Palms Hotel. My stay was eleven days, 1522 01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,760 Speaker 1: eleven days in Las Vegas, and by the way, that 1523 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 1: was so far away from the convention center. Now I 1524 01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 1: like to stay a little bit closer. It's not really 1525 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,720 Speaker 1: walking distance per se, that would be the ultimate goal. 1526 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,479 Speaker 1: There is. There are a handful of hotels that are 1527 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,600 Speaker 1: walking distance to the convention center. I like to just 1528 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,639 Speaker 1: be on the monorail, so that's a lot easier. Eighty 1529 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 1: eight rich one oh one richontech dot tv is the website. 1530 01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:33,800 Speaker 1: If you're not there, if you're not signed up for 1531 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 1: my newsletter, please sign up for the newsletter. It is 1532 01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,040 Speaker 1: the best way to keep up with everything that I do, 1533 01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,479 Speaker 1: all the smart tips, I share all the coverage that 1534 01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,519 Speaker 1: I have, and on my Instagram as well at rich 1535 01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:48,040 Speaker 1: on Tech. Follow me on Instagram. So it's really just 1536 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,360 Speaker 1: a couple of places to find me. Instagram, the newsletter, 1537 01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:55,240 Speaker 1: the website, TV radio. Is there anything else? I think 1538 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,120 Speaker 1: that's it. A couple other things I saw at CS 1539 01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:01,679 Speaker 1: and then I'll take a call here. Ultrasonic chef's knife 1540 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 1: company called Seattle Ultrasonics designed a chef's knife that vibrates 1541 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:10,120 Speaker 1: thousands of times per second at an ultra high frequency 1542 01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,880 Speaker 1: to help you cut through food easier. So I tried 1543 01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:15,240 Speaker 1: this on a tomato. I tried it on a potato. 1544 01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,599 Speaker 1: Anything that rhymes, I tried it on, and yeah it does. 1545 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 1: It slices through very easily. It glides through with less 1546 01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:25,280 Speaker 1: effort fifty percent less effort. Yes, very expensive. Three hundred 1547 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:27,519 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars kind of bulky. You got to recharge it. 1548 01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,760 Speaker 1: The charging device is one hundred and fifty dollars, so 1549 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,360 Speaker 1: five hundred bucks if you want to use this thing 1550 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,280 Speaker 1: in your house more than once. But I think in 1551 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,800 Speaker 1: the future this will probably be something that we take 1552 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:39,839 Speaker 1: for granted. We just all have kind of like a 1553 01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:45,800 Speaker 1: ultrasonic toothbrush, same principle there. That's from Seattle Ultrasonics. And 1554 01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:50,479 Speaker 1: I love this the glide smart hair clipper. Remember the flowbe. 1555 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:53,040 Speaker 1: I never had a Flowbee as a kid, but I 1556 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,120 Speaker 1: always saw those commercials on TV, and I always wanted 1557 01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:56,720 Speaker 1: one because I thought it was so efficient. Why go 1558 01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,840 Speaker 1: to the barber shop when you just put this thing 1559 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 1: on a vacuum suck it up on. I don't know, 1560 01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:06,519 Speaker 1: just I guess the clippers somehow change or rotate when 1561 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,000 Speaker 1: they're you know, on the vacuum head, and then you 1562 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:10,400 Speaker 1: just kind of move it around your head and you've 1563 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,280 Speaker 1: got a haircut. Now. They kind of left out the 1564 01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 1: fact that you still got to do like all the trimming, 1565 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 1: you know, around the ears and you know, the back 1566 01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:18,320 Speaker 1: of your neck, all that good stuff. But hey, why 1567 01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,400 Speaker 1: not you get a free haircut? But Glide is an 1568 01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,919 Speaker 1: AI version of this, so it looks like a hair clipper, 1569 01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:29,559 Speaker 1: but there's no plastic guard attachments. The blade automatically adjusts 1570 01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 1: as you move it up and down your head, so 1571 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 1: you can get like a perfect fade. 1572 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:33,639 Speaker 3: Now. 1573 01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:35,280 Speaker 1: They did not test this on me, although I was 1574 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: completely open to them doing that because I need a 1575 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 1: haircut right now. But that's another one. Glide g l 1576 01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 1: Yde smart hair clipper. Who knows that I'll take off? 1577 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 1: This one was just silly. The ice Plosion instant carbonated 1578 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,519 Speaker 1: slushy machine. It's kind of like a soda stream, but 1579 01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:55,479 Speaker 1: it makes slushies and they are carbonated and they're frozen. 1580 01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 1: So a soda stream, I didn't realize the soda doesn't 1581 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,599 Speaker 1: come out cold. You can't like get instantly unless I'm mistaken, 1582 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:05,880 Speaker 1: that's what I understood. But this it instantly makes a 1583 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,920 Speaker 1: carbonated slushy that's frozen. And it's seven hundred dollars for 1584 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,880 Speaker 1: the machine, which is a lot of money. The pods 1585 01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:14,679 Speaker 1: are about a dollary each, kind of like a cakeup. 1586 01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 1: You pop it in there, you wait four minutes, it 1587 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:18,960 Speaker 1: spits out this slushy. I've got a video of this 1588 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:20,920 Speaker 1: on my Instagram at rich On Tech, they call it 1589 01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 1: ice splosion. Yeah, when the slushy came out, it like 1590 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 1: is splattered everywhere, like all over my suits. I was 1591 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,519 Speaker 1: like cracking up. But I did try it and it 1592 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:35,240 Speaker 1: was delicious. I've tried the sugar free blue Raspberry and 1593 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 1: it was really good. Even though there's no straw to 1594 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:39,320 Speaker 1: use it with. I had to like dump it into 1595 01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: my mouth and yeah, got everywhere. So that's the ice explosion. 1596 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 1: Then you've got this other company called camel Oh c 1597 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 1: cha m E l O. They make these sunglasses or 1598 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:55,679 Speaker 1: I guess just glasses in general, that adjust their tint 1599 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 1: with a tap of the side, so they have like 1600 01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:03,400 Speaker 1: different tint colors and sort of the amount of tint 1601 01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,240 Speaker 1: that this eyeglass can have. You just tap the side 1602 01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 1: and it changes. So it's a photochromatic lens and it's 1603 01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, the idea is that the sun is not 1604 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,880 Speaker 1: always the same brightness. Sometimes you want lighter, sometimes you 1605 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,559 Speaker 1: want darker, and so you can just adjust them and 1606 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:22,080 Speaker 1: they are rechargeable. Some of them have Bluetooth music built 1607 01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,000 Speaker 1: into them. Some of them actually automatically adjust their tint. 1608 01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,439 Speaker 1: But this company got a lot of publicity here Chimelo 1609 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,519 Speaker 1: c h A M E l O. They start at 1610 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,200 Speaker 1: two hundred dollars and finally this one. I absolutely loved 1611 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:40,120 Speaker 1: Plant Pets. This looked like the booth looked like little 1612 01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:43,679 Speaker 1: Shop of Horrors because all the plants were moving in unison. 1613 01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 1: So this looks like a regular plant pot, but it 1614 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:51,440 Speaker 1: turns your houseplant into an interactive companion that moves, reacts, 1615 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,320 Speaker 1: and can even quote unquote talk to you. So you 1616 01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,599 Speaker 1: put this probe in the soil, and somehow that probe 1617 01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,680 Speaker 1: makes it so that when you touch the leaves, the 1618 01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,799 Speaker 1: pop reacts and it can move, It can make little sounds. 1619 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 1: If it needs water, it's gonna make a gurgling sound 1620 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,559 Speaker 1: instead of dying, like you know all plants do that 1621 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 1: I bring home. I thought this was just so funny. 1622 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,639 Speaker 1: They're already selling the earlier version on Amazon. It's called 1623 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:19,160 Speaker 1: Plant Pets. The new version has a couple more features. 1624 01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,200 Speaker 1: So I just thought this was such a great idea. 1625 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 1: I kind of want one of these from my house 1626 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,400 Speaker 1: because when does your plant move it, it literally gives 1627 01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: this plant almost a lifelike kind of a life on 1628 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,560 Speaker 1: its own. The Plant Pets p l A N T 1629 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,840 Speaker 1: Petz Robotic Planner is already on Amazon's one hundred and 1630 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,920 Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars, but the guy told me it's gone 1631 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 1: on sale for as low as seventy nine dollars, so 1632 01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,560 Speaker 1: watch for those price drops. All right, let's go to 1633 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 1: Linda in San Pedro. You are online three, you're on 1634 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:51,360 Speaker 1: with Rich Hey. 1635 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,400 Speaker 8: Rites, you sound like a kid in the Candy Story 1636 01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 8: going to that tech event. 1637 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,960 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so fun. It's just it really 1638 01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:00,800 Speaker 1: is like I wish I had two weeks here, to 1639 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 1: be honest, because I don't get to see everything. But 1640 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,320 Speaker 1: I just, you know, I just have to smile when 1641 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 1: I see some of this stuff, like who thinks of 1642 01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 1: a plant pot that you know comes to life. I mean, 1643 01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: it's just silly, but it's fun and I think people 1644 01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:14,320 Speaker 1: will like it. Anyway, go ahead with your question. 1645 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,120 Speaker 8: And those fingernail things is bizarre. 1646 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,519 Speaker 1: Anyways, Oh yeah, you saw the video. 1647 01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 8: I haven't seen it, but I'm going to pull it up. 1648 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:23,800 Speaker 1: That's the Oh you got to pull it up. It's 1649 01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,120 Speaker 1: so wild. It just looks so weird. But go ahead. 1650 01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:31,400 Speaker 8: I have a question regarding videos that are online. I 1651 01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:35,920 Speaker 8: like to look at animal videos and it comes you know, 1652 01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,800 Speaker 8: with a whole bunch of Anyway, when I pull up 1653 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:42,479 Speaker 8: my front page of the Internet and some videos, they'll 1654 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 8: say and please subscribe. And so I have two questions 1655 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,799 Speaker 8: about that. What I don't want to subscribe to anything 1656 01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,880 Speaker 8: because I don't know what's going to happen. I don't 1657 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,560 Speaker 8: know if I'm going to be hit with advertisements or 1658 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 8: a bunch of other videos that I don't want. So 1659 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,800 Speaker 8: what do they do with my in sol? That's one question. 1660 01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,760 Speaker 8: The next one is what is the videographer whatever you 1661 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,360 Speaker 8: call them, What is the videographer? Get out of it? 1662 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: If oh, this is this is a great way to 1663 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:14,679 Speaker 1: support them? Are you talking YouTube? 1664 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:19,800 Speaker 8: Well, I don't see the logo YouTube logo. I see 1665 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:24,439 Speaker 8: there's like an animal logo with a pawprint, uh in 1666 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,320 Speaker 8: the corner, but I don't see any YouTube logo. 1667 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,040 Speaker 1: Well, if they're hosting it on YouTube, then if you 1668 01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:35,760 Speaker 1: are what's called subscribing to the channel, Like just so, 1669 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,800 Speaker 1: YouTube has these like paid subscriptions, and so if you 1670 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:44,439 Speaker 1: if you are a channel subscriber that's paid, you can 1671 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 1: actually you're supporting the person that's making that channel. So 1672 01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,200 Speaker 1: I actually think that's a pretty good thing. They called 1673 01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:54,519 Speaker 1: a channel membership, and so these you know, YouTubers need 1674 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,479 Speaker 1: to make money in a variety of ways because they 1675 01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:00,000 Speaker 1: only make so much on the ad revenue that YouTube 1676 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 1: tube shares with them. But when you become a subscriber 1677 01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:07,200 Speaker 1: or a member rather, they're getting seventy percent of that revenue. 1678 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,240 Speaker 1: So let's say I run a channel doing tech videos 1679 01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:11,680 Speaker 1: and I post them all the time, and I go 1680 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 1: to all these different shows and you like to watch them, 1681 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,160 Speaker 1: and you subscribe. Do you become a member of my channel, 1682 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,439 Speaker 1: I'm going to get seventy percent of that five dollars 1683 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 1: a month or whatever you you know, whatever this subscription is. 1684 01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:24,559 Speaker 1: And so it's a great way to support your favorite 1685 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,360 Speaker 1: creators because you know, they need to make money because 1686 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 1: they're they're doing this on a daily basis. Now, what 1687 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:34,160 Speaker 1: what do they see about you? Not very much? So 1688 01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking in my I don't I don't sub I 1689 01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,080 Speaker 1: don't have a channel membership offered on my YouTube channel 1690 01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:42,519 Speaker 1: because I'm not really focused on YouTube. But the only 1691 01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 1: thing that I can see with my audience if I 1692 01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 1: go into my analytics is basically their watch behavior. So 1693 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:49,680 Speaker 1: I can see like kind of when they're watching when 1694 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:53,040 Speaker 1: they're online. I can also see their gender. So I 1695 01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:56,479 Speaker 1: can see that sixty eight percent of my subscribers on YouTube, 1696 01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,759 Speaker 1: which again I don't really focus on our mail thirty 1697 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 1: one female. I can see their age range. I don't 1698 01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 1: see their names. I don't even see their user names 1699 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,880 Speaker 1: as far as I can tell. There might be a 1700 01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:09,640 Speaker 1: way to see that, but they're not. I don't even 1701 01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,720 Speaker 1: think they're getting your email address. So it's something that 1702 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:16,080 Speaker 1: is pretty private in a way. But you are directly 1703 01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:20,880 Speaker 1: supporting your favorite creators by by joining that subscription or 1704 01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 1: that membership to them. Does that make a lot of sense. 1705 01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,800 Speaker 8: Oh, they don't give out my information to anybody else. 1706 01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,960 Speaker 1: Now this is just on YouTube. It depends what you're joining. 1707 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:38,719 Speaker 1: I mean, there's lots of video subscriptions out there in general. 1708 01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,880 Speaker 1: Unless it is something like you know, Patreon, you would 1709 01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 1: have to look at the privacy page for whatever you're joining. So, 1710 01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 1: for instance, I have a substack, which when you join 1711 01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:55,680 Speaker 1: my substack, I can see your email address directly. Now 1712 01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:58,920 Speaker 1: that is a rarity in a creator world because what 1713 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:02,000 Speaker 1: happens is a lot of the creator focused websites they 1714 01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 1: want to control the relationship. So let's say you're on 1715 01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,360 Speaker 1: something like Threads and someone follows you, Threads is not 1716 01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,360 Speaker 1: going to give up the email addresses of all the 1717 01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 1: people that are following you because for privacy reasons and 1718 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,599 Speaker 1: other reasons. But they want to control that relationship. They 1719 01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,840 Speaker 1: want you to go through Threads or Facebook or whatever 1720 01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 1: to post things to your following. So some of these 1721 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:28,920 Speaker 1: more creator focused programs, like a Patreon or like a substack, 1722 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,360 Speaker 1: they may be more generous and what they share with 1723 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,800 Speaker 1: you because they want you to control that relationship with 1724 01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 1: your fans and subscribers. So it really depends on the 1725 01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:41,439 Speaker 1: setup of the specific video site that you're talking about. 1726 01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 1: But what I would do is just google the name 1727 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 1: of that site and say, you know, if I become 1728 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,519 Speaker 1: a member or a subscriber, what information do you share 1729 01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 1: with that creator? And in most cases it's going to 1730 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,360 Speaker 1: be a pretty private relationship, unless it is a site 1731 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,320 Speaker 1: like a substack, where they give you you know, they 1732 01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 1: give your name, or they may give your name and 1733 01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,920 Speaker 1: your email address and that's about it. But substack was 1734 01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:10,800 Speaker 1: specifically created to put newsletter writers in charge of their 1735 01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,439 Speaker 1: membership so that they control that membership and really can 1736 01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,760 Speaker 1: have a great relationship with those people. So but it 1737 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,800 Speaker 1: all depends on the website. Good question, Linda, Thanks for 1738 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,120 Speaker 1: the call today.

Now it doesn't want to function. It 1752 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,040 Speaker 12: says no Internet. 1753 01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 5: Now. 1754 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:12,960 Speaker 12: I don't know what I did, but I'm in an 1755 01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:17,639 Speaker 12: assisted living and all the other laptops in the household work, 1756 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,040 Speaker 12: but mine says no Internet. And I don't know how 1757 01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:21,000 Speaker 12: to retrieve this. 1758 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 1: So the computer works, It just says no Internet. 1759 01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 12: No Internet. That's what it says. 1760 01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 1: Okay, does everything else work on it? 1761 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:33,880 Speaker 12: I don't know what I did, but it doesn't want 1762 01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 12: to function anymore. I can't even get googled. 1763 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so it just sounds like you got disconnected from 1764 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,200 Speaker 1: the Internet. How are you connecting to the internet? Typically? 1765 01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 1: Is it Wi Fi inside this facility? 1766 01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:47,240 Speaker 12: I believe yes, yes, okay, all right. 1767 01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 1: It sounds to me like you might have deleted the 1768 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:53,880 Speaker 1: Wi Fi connection to this facility. So if you go 1769 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 1: in the lower right hand corner of this computer, there 1770 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,439 Speaker 1: should be a little signal. It looks like little Wi 1771 01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,400 Speaker 1: Fi signal. Do you know what that looks like? It's 1772 01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:07,080 Speaker 1: kind of like a almost like a like a van. Yes, exactly? 1773 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:09,800 Speaker 1: Is that lit up when you when you tap that? 1774 01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:11,920 Speaker 1: Does it? Are you on this computer? 1775 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:12,160 Speaker 3: Now? 1776 01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:15,639 Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay? Does this say you're connected to anything underneath? 1777 01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:15,680 Speaker 4: That? 1778 01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:16,840 Speaker 1: Is it highlighted in blue? 1779 01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 12: So what comes on is not connected? No way it works? 1780 01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:21,439 Speaker 12: And then it says Bluetooth on. 1781 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:25,760 Speaker 1: Okay, perfect. So where it says not connected, I would 1782 01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,560 Speaker 1: tap that that arrow and it should bring up a 1783 01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:32,640 Speaker 1: list of all the Wi Fi networks that are available 1784 01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,320 Speaker 1: to you, and one of them should be the facility 1785 01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:39,720 Speaker 1: that you're in or whatever. Are you paying for this 1786 01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:44,080 Speaker 1: internet or do they just give you internet? Okay, so 1787 01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,400 Speaker 1: you have to tap the internet, you know, the Wi 1788 01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:49,760 Speaker 1: Fi network that they give you and you have to 1789 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 1: put in probably a password or it may remember this. 1790 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,599 Speaker 1: But I think what happened is you might have deleted 1791 01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,760 Speaker 1: this network by accident or disconnected from it and deleted it. 1792 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,599 Speaker 1: And that's why it's not automatically reconnecting, because it should 1793 01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,880 Speaker 1: automatically once you do this once, it should automatically reconnect. 1794 01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:10,000 Speaker 1: So unfortunately, okay, so find that network. Can you see 1795 01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:11,479 Speaker 1: the network in the list? Are you looking at it 1796 01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:11,840 Speaker 1: right now? 1797 01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:22,200 Speaker 12: Let me connect to this, uh says it says the address. 1798 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:28,120 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, it's I must say. 1799 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,639 Speaker 12: I don't know what I did, but it's it's disconnected, yes. 1800 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:34,519 Speaker 1: Sir, okay, so it says disconnected underneath. So you see 1801 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:36,320 Speaker 1: the network name, but it says disconnected. 1802 01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 12: This connecting is trying. 1803 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,960 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, it's trying to connect. That's a good sign, 1804 01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 1: so you might okay, so what do you want to do? 1805 01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,120 Speaker 12: Is I did what I did? I did it? 1806 01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,000 Speaker 1: Well, it happens, you know, we you know, play around 1807 01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,640 Speaker 1: on these things sometimes and they just kind of you know, 1808 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:57,759 Speaker 1: sometimes it just it just happens. Okay. So what sounds 1809 01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:01,639 Speaker 1: to me is that you need to forget this network 1810 01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:06,120 Speaker 1: and then reconnect it. Okay, And so that is something 1811 01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:09,720 Speaker 1: that connect right next to it above all this, Yes, 1812 01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:15,000 Speaker 1: and I would disconnect, ye, disconnect or forget. I would 1813 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,760 Speaker 1: hit forget. And then is there someone that can tell 1814 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:19,080 Speaker 1: you the password to this network? 1815 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:19,320 Speaker 2: Again? 1816 01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:19,600 Speaker 4: Is there? 1817 01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:21,360 Speaker 1: Before you disconnect it? Is there someone that can tell 1818 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:22,120 Speaker 1: you the right password? 1819 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:23,400 Speaker 12: Sure? 1820 01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:26,639 Speaker 1: Okay, yes, like some someone that works there. 1821 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:29,400 Speaker 12: I'll do that right now. 1822 01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:33,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So disconnect from that network, go grab the 1823 01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,600 Speaker 1: person that has the password, and then reconnect. And I 1824 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,479 Speaker 1: think that's going to solve your problems. And I think 1825 01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,240 Speaker 1: that's what's going on, is just somehow the password got 1826 01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:44,559 Speaker 1: changed or deleted, and then once you're reconnected there will 1827 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,000 Speaker 1: you should be able to use your computer, you know, 1828 01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:50,720 Speaker 1: as as you previously did. So that that's what I 1829 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:53,600 Speaker 1: think is going on there. So good question today. So 1830 01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, some of these things that happen are are 1831 01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:58,920 Speaker 1: just you know, they're very simple. You know, you think 1832 01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 1: you have a big problem with your can computer, but 1833 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:02,320 Speaker 1: it could be just a simple fix. You know, we 1834 01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:07,120 Speaker 1: we we often go through these computer screens really fast. 1835 01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:08,840 Speaker 1: And I know I'm guilty of it, My kid is 1836 01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:10,679 Speaker 1: guilty of I always give them a hard time because 1837 01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:13,839 Speaker 1: when we're doing something on the iPad together or his computer, 1838 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:16,479 Speaker 1: he's going through these screens at a million miles an 1839 01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 1: hour and I'm like, hey, Tanner, dude, like slow down. 1840 01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 1: You gotta you know. And I'm guilty of it too, 1841 01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,680 Speaker 1: because we we think we know what these screens are 1842 01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:27,720 Speaker 1: gonna say, and they don't all the time. So that's 1843 01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:29,800 Speaker 1: what I would do. If you ever get disconnected from 1844 01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:31,439 Speaker 1: your Internet, you know, you can just go in there, 1845 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,720 Speaker 1: forget the network and rejoin the network. Of course, you 1846 01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:36,800 Speaker 1: will need to know the password to do that, but 1847 01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,200 Speaker 1: that's a pretty simple fix.

You mentioned that it's private. 1888 01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:52,960 Speaker 1: Let's get into the privacy aspect right away, because I 1889 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,559 Speaker 1: think most people when they hear health, you know, they're 1890 01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:58,240 Speaker 1: concerned about privacy. These are the medical records, these are 1891 01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:01,719 Speaker 1: their stats. So explain to me how this is private 1892 01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:05,160 Speaker 1: and does my data go anywhere? Is it training your models? 1893 01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:07,920 Speaker 1: Is it going to show up on someone else's chat somehow? 1894 01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:09,840 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1895 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:10,559 Speaker 13: Great question. 1896 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:15,600 Speaker 14: We've built this with privacy absolutely top of mind. The 1897 01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:19,960 Speaker 14: baseline chatchbt experience is already has a very strong level 1898 01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:20,599 Speaker 14: of privacy. 1899 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:24,120 Speaker 13: But this new health feature you can really think of 1900 01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:25,519 Speaker 13: as a vault. 1901 01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:29,920 Speaker 14: So the information that you're putting in and potentially connecting, 1902 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:34,160 Speaker 14: like your medical records, like your fitness trackers, they're staying 1903 01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:38,479 Speaker 14: within that vault and not going anywhere. It's not going 1904 01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:42,759 Speaker 14: to open AI, it's not being used to train models. 1905 01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:44,320 Speaker 14: It's really there for you. 1906 01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:45,839 Speaker 13: And you alone. 1907 01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:48,680 Speaker 1: So let's back up a little bit and just kind 1908 01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:50,760 Speaker 1: of what was the inspiration for this. I mean, you 1909 01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:53,559 Speaker 1: guys know that people are already asking chatchubt all kinds 1910 01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,960 Speaker 1: of health questions.

And here we're trying to build towards 1915 01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:15,559 Speaker 14: the demand and use cases that people are already showing 1916 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:17,560 Speaker 14: us that they want to use the product for and 1917 01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:21,120 Speaker 14: are using it for. The three biggest cases that we 1918 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:25,639 Speaker 14: see are one, people using chat to help them prepare 1919 01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:30,040 Speaker 14: for their clinician appointments, for their doctor's appointments, so we 1920 01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,759 Speaker 14: all know that time with our doctor can be limited 1921 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:38,439 Speaker 14: and precious, and for folks navigating serious diagnoses, but also 1922 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:41,439 Speaker 14: just for people who are trying to better understand their 1923 01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:46,120 Speaker 14: lab results and be their healthy at self, Chat can 1924 01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:49,040 Speaker 14: really really help you take advantage of the limited time. 1925 01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:50,479 Speaker 13: That you have with your doctor. 1926 01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,400 Speaker 14: The second place we see people really leaning on Chat 1927 01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:59,120 Speaker 14: is helping navigate insurance and benefits.

Wes and Memphis 2096 01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:34,000 Speaker 1: says they couldn't have picked a better person to take over. 2097 01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,400 Speaker 1: You've done a great job these past three years, and 2098 01:44:36,600 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 1: you add some fun humor to the weekly show and podcast. 2099 01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:43,759 Speaker 1: Thank you, Wes, appreciate you listening there in Memphis, Tennessee. 2100 01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:47,200 Speaker 1: For Jeff writes in Hey, Rich, quick question, How can 2101 01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:51,000 Speaker 1: I tell if my desktop computer is running Windows eleven? Easy? Easy, easy. 2102 01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:54,120 Speaker 1: If the search bar is in the middle of your 2103 01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,479 Speaker 1: screen at the bottom, it's Windows eleven. If it's on 2104 01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:58,840 Speaker 1: the left, it's Windows ten. That's the easiest way. You 2105 01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:01,840 Speaker 1: can also go into settings and then System and then 2106 01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:04,400 Speaker 1: about and it'll say Windows ten or eleven right there. 2107 01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:09,559 Speaker 1: Gennaro says Rich, that good Sun story really hit home. 2108 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:12,559 Speaker 1: It highlights a bigger issue for seniors like me. We're 2109 01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:14,639 Speaker 1: getting locked out of everyday life because we're not tech 2110 01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:17,559 Speaker 1: savvy enough. Grocery stores give you better price if you're digital. 2111 01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:20,120 Speaker 1: I just found out to use Uber. Oh you know, 2112 01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:24,080 Speaker 1: I think I read this one before. So anyway, well, Gennaro, 2113 01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:27,200 Speaker 1: thank you for sending that. Even though looks like I 2114 01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:28,880 Speaker 1: read it. Maybe I read it live on the show 2115 01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:32,840 Speaker 1: last week, so I'm recalling that. Wendy and Irvine says, Rich, 2116 01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:34,479 Speaker 1: have you ever help? If you ever feel like helping 2117 01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:37,000 Speaker 1: someone else untangle their tech stuff, please let us know. 2118 01:45:37,439 --> 01:45:39,880 Speaker 1: We're much closer than New Jersey since we live right 2119 01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:43,759 Speaker 1: in California. Love your newsletter, radio show and TV segments. 2120 01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:49,000 Speaker 1: Take care, you know. I don't do tech support visits 2121 01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:51,479 Speaker 1: at home, but you know, maybe if this radio thing 2122 01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:55,400 Speaker 1: doesn't work out, maybe I'll do that. But in all seriousness, yes, 2123 01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:57,880 Speaker 1: that was referring to my newsletter last week with my 2124 01:45:58,000 --> 01:45:59,920 Speaker 1: dad and talking about all the stuff that he went 2125 01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:02,560 Speaker 1: through and I upgraded at his house. So yes, I 2126 01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:04,760 Speaker 1: do love to help people with their technology in real 2127 01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:09,800 Speaker 1: life too. Bob and Charlotte along the same Along the 2128 01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,040 Speaker 1: same lines, Rich, bless you you're a good son and 2129 01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:15,160 Speaker 1: happy y two K plus twenty six from a fix 2130 01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:19,160 Speaker 1: it senior citizen and dad. When tech is complicated but intuitive, 2131 01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:22,719 Speaker 1: that's okay. Otherwise not so much. Wishing you many Ota 2132 01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:26,960 Speaker 1: broadcast hours seventy three. What's seventy three mean? Is that 2133 01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:30,920 Speaker 1: his age? Okay? Thank you, Bob. Joanne says, Hey Rich, 2134 01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:34,080 Speaker 1: I've started using Costco to reserve my car rentals. It 2135 01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,200 Speaker 1: might be a false sense of security, but if something 2136 01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:38,519 Speaker 1: goes wrong, I feel like I have more leverage with 2137 01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:41,559 Speaker 1: Costco behind me. On top of that, the rates usually 2138 01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:44,599 Speaker 1: seem better through that behemoth. Thanks for all the helpful 2139 01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:47,439 Speaker 1: tech updates. Happy New Year, Joanne. I was inspired by 2140 01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:49,960 Speaker 1: you to actually use Costco from an ex car rental 2141 01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:52,040 Speaker 1: because you know, I ditched the company that rhymes with 2142 01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:55,360 Speaker 1: shirts because they did me wrong. So now I'm using 2143 01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:57,720 Speaker 1: whatever company is cheapest at Costco, and that's what I 2144 01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:00,320 Speaker 1: used to book my next rental. So I will follow 2145 01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:02,840 Speaker 1: up in a future show to tell you how that went. 2146 01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:07,360 Speaker 1: Claudia and Irvine says, Hey, Rich, I love Today's newsletter. 2147 01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:09,800 Speaker 1: Before moving to California in the sixties, I grew up 2148 01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:13,400 Speaker 1: in Massapequa on Long Island. Fun side note, I lived 2149 01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:16,000 Speaker 1: next door to Neil Diamond and even baby sat his 2150 01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:19,880 Speaker 1: infant daughter Marjorie. That was right when he was starting 2151 01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,920 Speaker 1: out and releasing songs like Solitary Man and Cherry Cherry. 2152 01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,439 Speaker 1: I tried your CHATCHYBT photo restoration prompt on a couple 2153 01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:29,200 Speaker 1: pictures from that time and they turned out great. I 2154 01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:31,280 Speaker 1: still love the black and white versions, but it was 2155 01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,800 Speaker 1: really fun to see them restored in color. Thanks again. 2156 01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:37,479 Speaker 1: Oh that's such a cool story. Wow. I love that 2157 01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:41,000 Speaker 1: you live next door to Neil Diamond. Wow. That's quite 2158 01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:43,640 Speaker 1: the story to tell your friends. Huh. All right, we 2159 01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:46,960 Speaker 1: got a scam warning up next from John. I consider 2160 01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:50,080 Speaker 1: myself pretty tech savvy, but I still got scammed. I 2161 01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:51,960 Speaker 1: was looking for a puppy for the holidays, and I 2162 01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:54,240 Speaker 1: thought I bought one from a website that looked legit. 2163 01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:57,240 Speaker 1: After emails and phone calls, I sent six hundred and 2164 01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:00,040 Speaker 1: sixty dollars through Venmo and then guess what happened and 2165 01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,599 Speaker 1: the person disappeared. Venmo basically told me there's nothing they 2166 01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:06,320 Speaker 1: can do, even though their account was active. I reported 2167 01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,439 Speaker 1: it to the FTC and wanted to warn you and 2168 01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,479 Speaker 1: your audience. Thank you, John, I'm sorry this happened to you, 2169 01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:14,800 Speaker 1: but the puppy scam is going around a lot, and 2170 01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:18,040 Speaker 1: I actually did a story on this on TV. Might 2171 01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:20,760 Speaker 1: have been last year, even the year before. But yeah, 2172 01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:22,720 Speaker 1: the big issue with those cash apps like Venmo is 2173 01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,439 Speaker 1: that once you send the money, it is really tough 2174 01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:28,800 Speaker 1: to get back. You might in some cases, but it's 2175 01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:31,839 Speaker 1: like cash. And they warn you that A great resource 2176 01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:34,800 Speaker 1: for checking out scams and reporting them and researching them 2177 01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:38,840 Speaker 1: is the Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker BBB Scam Tracker. 2178 01:48:39,040 --> 01:48:42,559 Speaker 1: Look it up. Stephanie says, hey, Rich, Happy New Year. 2179 01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:45,559 Speaker 1: I used an app. I used an app to convert 2180 01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:47,960 Speaker 1: all my live photos into standard photos. Now it looks 2181 01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,759 Speaker 1: like I lost about seven hundred captions. Is that really possible? 2182 01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:55,080 Speaker 1: Big fan of the show, That could be possible if 2183 01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:57,639 Speaker 1: you convert those photos. I'm not sure those captions would 2184 01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:03,800 Speaker 1: stay with those pictures. But my advice here, always test 2185 01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:06,519 Speaker 1: if you're gonna do something big, Always test the change 2186 01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,120 Speaker 1: on a handful of something before applying it to your 2187 01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:11,120 Speaker 1: entire library, because you could make a change that you 2188 01:49:11,160 --> 01:49:14,240 Speaker 1: will never recover from and also have backups. Because that 2189 01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:16,400 Speaker 1: is a bummer. I am so sorry that happened to you. 2190 01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:19,519 Speaker 1: All right, that is gonna do it for this week's show. 2191 01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:23,120 Speaker 1: I cannot believe it went this fast. I just love 2192 01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:26,280 Speaker 1: how this show. I'm sad that it flies by this fast, 2193 01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:28,120 Speaker 1: but it's also a testament to how much fun I 2194 01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:31,640 Speaker 1: have doing this.
