We're gonna talk 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.920 about cees all neat things I've seen here, plush. We're 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.320 gonna talk to open AI about their new chat GPT 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.080 health experience. Yes, chat ebt wants you to upload your 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.959 health information to their chatbot so you can gain insights 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:10.000 about yourself. That will be interesting. Well, I am here 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.400 in Las Vegas for CS twenty twenty six. Now the 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.920 show floor is officially closed, but I am still here 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.959 after an entire week, and I have to say, I'm 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:24.160 quite proud of myself for actually staying pretty healthy throughout 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.960 the week. That is no easy feat in a city 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.840 of Las Vegas, where the air is drier than any 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.160 place I've been. I mean, it's really really dry, and 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.960 there's one hundred thousand, over one hundred thousand people from 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:40.960 all over the world, touching things, talking, and so this 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.319 is a big show. It takes over the convention center, 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.080 it takes over the surrounding hotels, it takes over the city. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.880 I have walked the floor, I've seen people, I've had meetings, 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.000 have gone to dinners. It's really where the tech world 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.560 comes together. Now you might be saying, rich, doesn't CS 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:02.200 stand for Consumer Electronics Show. It not. So CS is 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.440 put on by an organization called CTA, which does stand 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:10.720 for the Consumer Technology Association. They dropped the you know 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.160 CES Consumer Electronics Show moniker a while ago. Now it's 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.240 just CS because it's not just gadgets. It's everything on 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.800 that show floor. There is health tech, there are cars, 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.560 there's AI, there's wearables. I mean, there's so many things 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.200 to see. It's not just one size fits all. We're 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.280 no longer talking about DVD players and radios and TVs, 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.359 although TVs are still a very big part of this show. Now, 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.720 I saw a ton of stuff this week. I walked 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:41.000 over one hundred thousand steps, and I know that because 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.480 all week long I wore the Samsung ring. Basically, you know, 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.520 I've had this thought about smart rings, which is great. 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.280 You know, I want to wear them because twenty four 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.560 to seven you can get your health insights. But I 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.760 don't like the idea of wearing two rings. So I 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.840 politely asked my wife and said, hey, do you mind 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.720 if I replace my wedding ring with a smart ring 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.639 just to see how it feels, just to see how 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.840 I like having this thing on. And sure enough, because 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.560 I'm already used to having a ring on that finger, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.320 I had no problem all week wearing this thing, and 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.839 I really kind of loved it. Like every morning I'd 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.400 wake up and I'd check my sleep. Now in Las Vegas, 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.840 you know, sleep is very precious, especially at a show 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.800 like this. I was also carrying around the Samsung S 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.440 twenty five Ultra phone for capturing everything. I'm not sure 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.359 why I wanted to switch from the iPhone this week, 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.000 but I just wanted to see how it could do 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.120 in a sort of a content creator situation, and I 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.200 gotta say I was very impressed that thing really kept up, 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.320 and I kind of remembered just how less, how many 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.000 less taps it takes to do things on an Android 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.600 than an iPhone, And voice to text on Android is 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.160 infinitely better than on an iPhone. It's like you tap 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.880 once you're already talking to text, or you're already talking 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:56.160 to search. It's so much easier. The bummer was I 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.880 could not find a signal in this entire town, and 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.000 I was carrying around phones all the carriers. I don't 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.480 know what the deal is with Las Vegas, but all 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.520 throughout the convention center, all throughout the hotels, in the 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.480 you know, the bottoms of these hotels, there is just 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.680 no signal. So I'm sitting there trying to post all 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.960 my stuff to social media and it was just almost impossible. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.839 Now at my hotel, I will tell you I did 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.880 use a hack that was actually really good that I 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.800 want to share. So, you know, you go to these 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.400 hotels nowadays, it used to be you can connect as 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.279 many devices as you want. And I guess this depends 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.560 on the hotel you stay at. But where I'm staying 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.760 fifteen dollars if you connect more than two devices, and 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.599 I was like, no way, I've got like twenty devices 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.560 I need to connect. So here's what you can do. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.200 If you have an Android phone, you can turn that 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.480 into a mobile router where it not just shares a 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.280 hotspot connection from your cellular which of course draws from 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.159 your cellular data. It can take that hotel Wi Fi 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.200 connection and actually reshare it. Even if you have to 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.719 log in, it will still do that. And this is 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.040 a thing that not many people know, not many people 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.960 realize or use. This doesn't work on the iPhone, it's 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.160 only on Androids, but if you want to know how 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.760 to do it, it's on the Samsung. I'll put the 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.680 link in the show notes. But it's Wi Fi tethering, 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.360 and it is such a helpful thing because I basically 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.640 connected my one Samsung phone to the hotel's internet, and 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.400 then I connected all of my other devices to the 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.040 Samsung device the Wi Fi hotspot, which again is not 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.080 pulling from cellular. It was pulling from the hotel's Wi Fi, 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.159 which I think is brilliant. 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:20.360 There. 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.800 I don't want to tell this story because it's really sad, 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.039 but I did something very stupid this week. And there's 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.719 a reason I'm telling you this because I thought the 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.200 technology behind it was kind of interesting. So I went 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.200 to this event. The first night I got here. It's 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.039 at the Mandalay Bay and I had to park. You know, 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.760 the parking lot was cramped and crowded, so I pulled 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.800 into one of these spots. I wedged my car in 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.039 there well. As I was pulling out at the end 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.640 of the night, I was really close to a poll 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.280 and I was talking to my wife on the phone 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.880 and the kids, and I came like one inch away from, 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.560 you know, clipping my side view mirror, right my driver's 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.440 side mirror. And I was like, oh, that was a 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.760 close call. Oh my gosh. And so I get back 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.400 to my hotel, I valet my car. I don't think 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.080 about it for the rest of the week. I get 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:06.760 down to the valet to get my car. It comes 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.320 back with this big, giant scrape on the driver's side 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.760 and I was like, hey, you guys, I think you 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.159 scratched my car. They said, no, we didn't. I said, yeah, 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.239 you did, and they said because I told the guys, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.240 the valet guys, the story about almost hitting my car, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:19.760 they said, no, we remember you told us you almost 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.599 hit your car. You did hit your car. I said what, 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.720 and they said, well, we have cameras that can show 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:29.160 when you entered the garage, like the valet garage. Every 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.760 time the valet brings a car into the garage, it 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.279 captures photos of it, kind of like that hurts Ai 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.680 thing I was telling you about last weekend. So they 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.680 do that, which I thought was brilliant. And so they 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.640 showed me my car. They show it clearly going in 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.600 at the time I brought it in, and they said, yeah, 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.479 it already had the problem on your car and on 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.120 this door. I said, Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.520 It's been such a long week. I completely forgot I 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.920 did that. But how stupid am I that I hit 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.479 my car. I didn't even look at the door because 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.240 I thought I didn't hit it. So now I got 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.920 to get my car fixed. Oh my gosh, brand new car. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.880 Not fun. But I will say it's very smart of 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.320 this hotel, and I'm sure other valets do that. Of 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.320 taking a picture of every single car, all they do 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.400 is scan my ticket brought it right to that picture, 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.400 and that's very smart because I bet a lot of 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.160 people try to get over on the system and say, hey, 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:13.840 you guys messed up my car. Now you get to pay, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.000 and they say not so fast. So I thought that 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.360 was good, even though I'm really sad that I need to. 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.440 You know, it's one of those things where you're spending 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.600 money to get back to where you were, Like I'm 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.720 going to repair my car just to get it back 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.360 to where it was, which is always the worst spending 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.840 of money. Instagram this week, if you got one of 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:35.160 those password reset emails, it seems like it's some sort 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.240 of system issue. I would not engage with it. So 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.480 the first time I got the text from someone, they're like, hey, 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.240 what's this deal? Why'd I get this email? I said, 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:43.920 I don't know. Usually that's when someone tries to get 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.120 into your account. Then I get another email from someone, 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.800 Hey I'm getting this. They send me a screenshop. Then 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.760 I get another one. Then my wife sends it to me, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.520 then my mom sends it to me. Then a couple 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.280 other people on Instagram, Hey, rich what's going on. That's 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.080 when I realize it's a trend and something's happening. So 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.000 that's when I post and on Instagram and said, hey, 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.120 if you're getting one of these things, you might want 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.960 to be on the lookout. Don't engage with this email 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.600 because I'm not sure what's happening. So if you get 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.000 one of those emails it says, hey, on Instagram, we 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.800 got a request to reset your password. Just leave it 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.960 alone for now because we don't know what's happening. The 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.360 good news is this is a reminder to tell you 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.920 use a strong, unique password. If this is a hack 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.600 where someone got access to a whole bunch of passwords 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.960 and they're trying to log into accounts, anyone who has 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.320 a weak password, they're going to get into your account. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.360 So make sure you have a strong password on. Make 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.840 sure you have two factor authentication turned on. That is 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.720 very important. All right, So at CS throughout the show, 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.840 I'm going to sprinkle the show with all the cool 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.840 stuff I saw. I'll tell you a couple of things 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:48.240 right now, but overall, themes Ai Huge Ai one of 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.240 the biggest things we saw there. It was in just 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.959 about every product. Every company is throwing whatever they can 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.560 at the wall to see what sticks. Robots I cannot 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.640 tell you. I don't think I've ever seen more robots 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.920 under one roof in one place in my entire life. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.600 And that was my most viral video from CS I 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.760 posted a whole bunch of stuff at Richon Tech on Instagram. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.920 My video that went viral with almost six million views 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:17.000 in counting. Is a human fighting a robot in a 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:22.960 boxing ring at the unitary booth. Yes, a human fighting robot. Now, 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.800 I think he was throwing pretty easy punches at this robot. 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.440 But let me tell you, when robots are throwing punches 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.520 back at humans, that is scary. And the other thing 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.760 about these robots because right now, it takes a lot 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.480 of time for these robots to learn how to do 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.760 things that humans can do in seconds, Like they had 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.679 all these laundry folding robots and things. Here's the thing 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.200 that really stuck with me. One of the people I 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.440 interviewed said, before we had to program these robots, there 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.280 there's no data to show a robot how to fold laundry. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.360 But in the future, as these robots are walking around 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.280 and they're learning about the world around them, they're going 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.840 to start collecting data about wait, hold on, how do 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.360 you fold laundry, how do you open a car door, 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.600 how do you sweep a floor, how do you help 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.880 someone or how do you hold their hand without crushing it. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.120 They're going to start learning because they're going to collect 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:15.400 all this data from the world in real world circumstances, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.840 not just seeing it, but physically doing it themselves and 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.440 making it better and better and better, and then sharing 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.400 that knowledge with other robots. So that is a paradigm 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.360 shift in our world because of AI. No longer do 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.160 you have to sit there and say, okay, all this 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.280 lines of code to say how to lift your hand 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.920 and turn it and swap it and do this. No, 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.320 now the robot learns on its own because of AI. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.199 That is a major shift in how fast we're going 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.320 to see these robots develop from here on out. Right now, 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.160 you may watch some of these videos on my Instagram, say, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.160 Rich those robots, you know, yeah, sure they can do 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.000 this and that, but they're not really helpful. We are 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.480 going to see an acceleration like never before in the 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.280 next couple of years because of AI and because of 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.560 what these robots can learn on their own. So check 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.880 that out for sure. All right, I'll be telling you 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.439 more about some of this stuff. I mean, I saw 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.440 a robot that can climb the stairs, a vacuum robot. Uh, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.280 let's see. I saw a vending machine that three D 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:14.120 prints chocolate. I saw snap on nails, press on nails 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.560 that change color digitally, a lollipop that plays music, so 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.080 much more. I'll tell you all about CS twenty twenty 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.160 six right here on rich on Tech plus your calls 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.040 at Triple eight Rich one O one eight eight eight 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.439 seven four to two four one zero one. Thanks for 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.440 joining me in Las Vegas. More rich on Tech coming 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:37.360 your way right after this. Welcome back to rich On Tech. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.960 Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology at 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.920 Triple eight rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.560 seven four to two four one zero one. Yes, coming 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.440 to you live from Las Vegas today, one of my 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.920 favorite cities. I love coming to Las Vegas. I know 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:58.439 not everyone does. I posted on my Facebook Facebook dot 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.720 com slash rich on Tech and I said vaggas love 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.520 it or not for you, and the comments came flowing in. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.120 A lot of people love it, A lot of people 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.000 think it's fun. A lot of people think it's gotten 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.679 very expensive, which it has. I've been coming to Las 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.800 Vegas long enough to remember the ads for ninety nine 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.840 cent shrimp cocktail. I never took advantage of that, And 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:19.679 now I don't think you can because now that same 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.920 shrimp cocktail is like ninety nine dollars and it's a 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.520 seafood tower of shrimp cocktail. But here's what I love 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.600 about Vegas. When adults come to Las Vegas, they come 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.640 to enjoy themselves, right Like everyone here wants to have 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.880 a good time. And I think that's very unique for 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:42.200 a city because you walk around, people are smiling, they're laughing, 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.720 they're with their friends. They usually have a little group 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.040 of folks with them, and it's just kind of fun. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.160 Now I'm not saying everyone, you know, there's definitely some 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:50.920 people here that you see them and you're like, you know, 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.560 you feel a little sad. But for the most part, 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.000 people that are flying into Las Vegas, they are definitely 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.960 here to take advantage of some downtime, be an adult, 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:05.319 enjoy some you know, nice food, nice play, nice shows, whatever. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.400 And it's just kind of a different atmosphere than a 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.960 lot of places. It's almost like a vacation every single day, 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.120 which of course makes it interesting when you're here for 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:18.560 something like a big technology show like CES, because the 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.640 whole rest of the city is partying and you're trying 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.480 to work, so it's definitely a different dynamic for sure. 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:29.800 Let's go to the first caller, Arnold in Rancho Cucamonga, 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:37.240 Line one, Arnold, you're on with Rich Arnold? Are you there? 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:42.959 My Microsoft subscription to a Microsoft perpetual license and then 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.560 so then I was unable to access it. So I 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.880 changed to Libert Office because it was free to get 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.480 access to my word documents. But then when I try 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.280 and save, I get an air message I finally got 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:55.760 access to. And then when I try and save my 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.440 MS word documents, I get this air message It says, sorry, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:04.280 we can't open htpps A, doots, live, whatever, all this stuff. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:09.079 And if I click okay to exit that error message, 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.000 it takes me to this UH to save the file 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.840 to the thing it says users arenal app data roaming 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.200 Microsoft Windows network shortcuts. But this all seemed to and 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.160 then what happened was it seemed to be related to 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.200 my subscription expireds that my one drive. It tells me 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.680 that there's not enough cloud storage, and it asked me 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.280 either to upgrade but ord to free up space, and 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.760 I can't. I'm unable to free up space, so I 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.200 don't know if that's two separate issues. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:37.480 Hope that makes sense. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.080 So it doesn't really make sense. I'm trying to figure out. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:41.960 So what are you trying to You're trying to double 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.280 click a file on your computer and it's not opening, 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.320 and it's saying it's this weird like HTTP, like almost 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:48.240 like a web r L. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:49.320 Yeah. 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.520 It's like when I'm working on a word file and 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.720 then I go to save it, and because I'm getting 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.520 the message saying this file is like unsaved and you 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.840 need to save it, and it's just it's just continually reads. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.800 It has the name of the files that's saving. It's 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.120 just continually saving. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.680 And I don't want to save that from just in 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.400 a word, just a word file of my you know, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.480 a word file that I'm working on, you know. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:13.800 In the Libra office. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:15.640 I changed I did. 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.240 Get rid of the lever stuff and I changed it 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.240 back to word. I changed a bunch of things in 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.840 the settings that I'm back to my I was finally 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.600 able to get into my I believe it's my perpetual 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.040 license and I'm so I'm back to. 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:28.560 Using a word. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.920 Okay, So it sounds like, are you trying to save 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.520 it to the cloud or to your hard drive. 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:35.600 I'm trying to save it to my hard drive, but 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.320 so I turn off the I turn off that open 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.720 the yeah, but it always pops up and I can't 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:45.920 seem to get rid of it. And I don't want 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.600 I never wanted to save to one drive, but I 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.160 can't get rid of that red dot and white X 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.120 on all these files. Now they just sitting there. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.240 Okay, well it sounds it sounds like your one drive 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.920 is completely filled up. That's what it sounds like to me. 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.520 So it is. I would I would go in there 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.920 and you can do this maybe from the web interface. 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.240 To make life easier for you. You got to go 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.560 in there and either drag some files out, delete some files, 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.120 and just free up space. And I think that should 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:14.440 solve a lot of the problems. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.480 And the problem I can't find those. So when I 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.000 can't find where to do that at, I don't see 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.040 any files. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.120 Just go to OneDrive dot live dot com and that'll 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:26.840 bring you to your files as long as you're logged 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.720 in on your Microsoft account. You have to be logged 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.040 in on the same account, So if you go there, 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.000 that'll bring your files and you can see I'll say, 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.440 you know, home my files shared, and I can see 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.000 right at the bottom it should say storage how much 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.720 storage is being used out of your If you're just 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.360 on the free version, you got five gigabytes, so I 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.280 would do that would also empty the recycling bin. Depends 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.320 on the cloud service. Some cloud services count the recycling 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.240 bin as storage, some do not, So it just sort 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.840 of depends on the different cloud storage that you're using, 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.760 so you can check that. But I think it sounds 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.200 like a lot of these issues are related to the 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.560 cloud storage being overfilled, and so it's trying to save 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.879 things on the cloud storage and it can't. Now if 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.040 you want to save them in a different location when 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.600 you're in word, you know, just use that menu to 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.440 save as into a different location on your hard drive. 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:15.919 But then you have to worry about your stuff not 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.040 being in sync or not being backed up rather, and 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.800 so I would recommend that you probably use one edrive 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.040 just because it's better to have things in the cloud. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.959 If this is all very frustrating to you, you can 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.000 also just switch to Google Docs and you can use 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.280 Google Docs on the web. It's completely free. You're not 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.040 gonna have any issues with this stuff. They're going to 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.679 give you fifteen gigabytes of storage, so you do have 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.760 some options there. And then Microsoft does have a web 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.640 version of their apps as well, so if you type 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:49.439 in Office three sixty five web app, they should have 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.520 some free versions of those as well. It says free 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.840 Microsoft three sixty five online. Thanks for the call. Arnold 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.320 eighty eight rich one oh one eighty eight seven four 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:03.360 to two four one zero one. Welcome back to rich 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.800 on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.679 technology at triple eight Rich one O one eight eight 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:13.600 eight seven four two four one zero one. Let's go 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.040 to let's see what we have here. Let's go to 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:21.000 Mike in Minnesota. Line is that that is line three I. I. 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.360 You know, Bobo has to uh, since it's a remote show, 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.080 Bobo has to bring up the caller. So that's why 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:27.720 I'm calling out the lines in case you know a 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.720 little behind the scenes information for you. That's why I'm 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.399 calling out the lines today. Mike, thanks for joining. What 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.440 what can we help you with today? What's going on? Hey? 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.040 So I've got Mike, so I've got uh do looking 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.960 for it? So I got Mike. I was able to 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.720 fix my router. So I was able to because the 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:52.639 night Night Hawk app is accessible for visually impaired. So 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.359 the the thing I wanted to know is how do 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.960 I get rid of or not get rid of, Like 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.840 how do I disable Microsoft Edge on my co gutter 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:10.560 because it's like the co pilot. I don't like that, 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:12.720 It's it's really irritating. 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:19.359 Yeah, well, you have to set your default app. So 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.959 uninstalling Edge from Windows is it might be possible, but 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.239 it's not easy, and I don't think it's for the uh, 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.960 you know, the average person to do because they've sort 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.960 of built it into the entire program, right, it's built 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:37.720 directly into the operating system. So but what you can 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:41.520 do is you can easily set Google Chrome as your default. 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:42.720 So there's a couple of ways you can do this. 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:46.400 You can either go into Chrome and in the settings. 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.280 So you can go into Chrome and then you know, 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.720 tap those three little lines in the upper right hand 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:57.320 corner tap settings, and then you can go into default 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.600 and see where it says default browser on the left 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.320 hand sid. You can tap that and then it'll say 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.480 Google Chrome is your default browser. So that's how you 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:06.159 can confirm if it is or not. If it's not, 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.480 then you've got to go into your search and just 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:13.879 type in defaults and it'll bring up default apps and 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.920 you tap that, and now you can go down to 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:22.000 Chrome that's installed. And let's see here trying to find 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.760 Google Chrome. Here it's set to faults for application on 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.760 a search Chrome. Okay, now I search Chrome, tap Google Chrome, 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.160 and now at the top it says make Google Chrome 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.639 your default browser. And so if you look at my 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.679 list right now, it's a mishmash like some things are Chrome, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:41.159 some things are Edge. I'm gonna tap set default and 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:45.000 now all the important stuff will switch over to Google Chrome. 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.840 And then when you're trying to open up documents and links, 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.080 it will open in Google Chrome. It's not gonna get 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:54.480 rid of the edge browser completely, but it will get 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.119 rid of when you try to open things up in 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.360 different apps that they open up into the Edge browser. 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.480 So's it's one of those things that you know, it 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.600 should be a little bit more straightforward. On Windows. I 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:05.760 feel like they should get people more of an option, 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.560 maybe like a one switch to turn off these things 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:13.040 like Copilot. I'm looking in here, I've got Copilot. I 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.320 think there is a setting to make sure that you 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.120 know it doesn't come up as much. Let me see 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.200 if I go, I remember looking at this one time. 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.480 Oh that's recall. Okay, that's a whole other thing. Oh 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.560 my gosh, let's let's not open that can of worms. 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:29.320 Recall is the feature that basically remembers everything that comes 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.720 across your screen on your Windows PC. So I think 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:34.760 it's turned off by default. I have it turned on 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.080 just for testing purposes, but actually forgot. But it's interesting 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.679 because the first clue is that to even open up 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:42.479 the app, they wanted me to put in my code 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.960 because you know, there could be some very private information 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.200 in there. But again, Mike, you can do that by 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.600 just going into the settings uh default apps and switching 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.200 that over and hopefully that should help. But yeah, I agree, 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.280 it's uh, you know, Windows, they do give you a 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:57.240 lot of options, and power users know how to kind 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.439 of tweak every single little thing. But I think the 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.640 average person just kind of deals with what Microsoft gives them. 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:05.359 And that's what companies like because most people are not 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.520 changing the defaults. They're just using whatever they get, and 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.080 that is an advantage for these companies that want to 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.560 propagate their software to everyone. Thanks for the call. Eight 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.000 eight eight Rich one oh one eight eight eight seven 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.040 four to two four one zero one. Glad you got 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:20.920 the other. I remember Mike called a couple of weeks 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.080 ago about another question with his router, and he actually 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:26.720 got that fixed, which is great to hear. Let's see 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:28.480 what let me tell you more about CS some of 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.040 these things I saw. Okay, so I guess I'll tell 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:32.760 you the oddest thing that I saw. And I've got 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.439 it right here. I'm not even you can hear the 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:38.040 packaging a gadget call. Now at CES, there's a whole 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.439 bunch of stuff, right, there's like stuff you might see 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:43.720 in the future, stuff you may never see, prototypes, concepts, 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.720 stuff that's coming out, you know. Like TCL they launched 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.640 their new flagship TV and they made it available that day, 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:54.320 Like that's never done practically. Most companies announce stuff and 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.560 then it's another three to six months before you can 0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:01.080 actually get it. TCL actually made their TV. Let me 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.680 see if I can get the the actual name of 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:08.560 the TV, because I went to this whole big TCL briefing. Yeah, okay, 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.360 it is the let's see what it was. It was 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:15.040 the Oh yes, it's the sq D. So their TCL 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:19.520 SQD X eleven l that's their twenty twenty six flagship 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:24.000 X eleven l SQD Mini LED And this thing is 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.119 like super It looks amazing, by the way, Like this 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.840 TV is incredible, Like the screen is so good, it's 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.800 almost old. Like they showed it next to an olead 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.639 and it looked better than an OLEAD. So I was 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:38.159 very impressed with this thing. But what they did was 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.360 they made it available the same day they announced it, 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:42.720 which is like, no one does that. So I love 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.000 that because like people like me that want something, you 0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.119 don't have to wait another three to six months for it. 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:50.560 But this this odd gadget that I have in my 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.880 hands here, it's called Lollipop Star, and it is a 0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:58.280 lollipop that plays music in your head. So when you 0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:02.720 put this thing in your mouth, uses bone conduction technology 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.840 to let you hear music. So a lot of headphones 0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:09.159 and earplugs are at earplugs, you know, earbuds will use 0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:13.960 bone conduction or not really earbuds, I guess it's really 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:16.520 it kind of going the outside of your ear. And 0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.879 so this lollipop uses that same technology, and so you 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.359 turn the thing on. It's a real lollipop, but the 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.000 bottom of the stick has like electronics built in and 0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:26.560 then you can hear music. And this one I have 0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:30.840 is from Ice Spice. It's a pink peach pink frost 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:36.359 and it's a white peach strawberry ice lollipop and you 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.960 put it in your mouth and you basically hear music. 0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:42.720 It plays up to sixty minutes and when it's over, 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:44.240 that's it. You got to throw out the whole thing, 0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:46.840 which is kind of wasteful because it's a one time 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:51.320 used thing, but and it's also unique. Nine dollars for 0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.639 the lollipop, lollipop stars the name. But here's what I 0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:56.440 love about ces. This is and this is why I 0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.240 think if you, if you own a small business, if 0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.720 you are someone it has like a little candy shop 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:04.639 or something, you need to come to shows like this. 0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:08.119 Why because you need something that is on the cutting 0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:12.120 edge to attract customers to your business. And so if 0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:14.560 you run a candy shop, I saw a machine that 0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.760 three D prints chocolate figurines. You want that in your 0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:21.120 candy shop because it's gonna give you an advantage over 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.240 when people are walking down some main street and some 0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.679 little vacation city they're going to and they come at 0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:28.760 your candy shop and they see the same old candy, 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.679 you know, the salty saltwater taffy and the gummy bears 0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:35.160 and all that stuff. Okay, I've seen all this stuff. 0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:37.000 They'll walk around for a minute. But when you have 0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:39.480 an attraction like this, like a lollipop that plays music, 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:43.520 yeah it's silly, but it's something nobody's seen before. So 0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:46.320 now you're gonna have that curiosity factor of someone's gonna 0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.480 come in. They've got discretionary money, they're on vacation, they're 0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:50.960 gonna buy it, and now you've just made more money 0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:53.920 for your business. Same thing with this machine. It's called 0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:57.760 the Choco Print chalco Print. This is one of the 0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:00.360 videos that also is going viral on my Instagram rich 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.159 on tech. This is a vending machine that three D 0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:05.760 prints chocolate figurines. Now people are debating the merits of it. 0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:08.600 The company that was demoing it made a mistake. The 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:10.800 mistake is that they put the sample price, like the 0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:14.359 price on the screen was like twenty dollars for the figurine, 0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:16.520 which is not really what people are going to be paying. 0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:19.240 They said it's more like five to six dollars. So 0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:22.679 when you're demoing a machine. Don't put a really expensive 0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:25.399 price on the screen because people are all fixated on 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:28.359 the price, which is not really representative what people are 0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:30.960 actually going to pay for this thing, this little figurine. 0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.280 So you pick your design. It makes a whole bunch 0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:36.320 of different designs, everything from like little rabbits to you know, 0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:40.320 different NFL helmets, whatever, And then you choose your design. 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:42.560 You take a tray, you put it in the machine, 0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:44.600 and some people are saying, Okay, I don't like that 0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:47.439 because people are putting their hands into the machine. And 0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.160 then the little three D print head prints out the 0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:54.160 design with chocolate, and it takes about, you know, three 0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.359 to four minutes for this to happen. You get to 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.479 watch it, so you get to show and then it 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:01.920 pops out, little figurine. You can keep it, you can 0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:03.760 eat it, you can show your friends. You'll probably take 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.240 a picture of it and post it to social media. 0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:10.080 And the machine itself is about twelve thousand dollars. Nobody's 0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:12.760 you know, I'm not saying you're buying that machine unless 0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:15.080 you ran a small business. But you can see how 0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:17.200 you can make a return on this. But again, I'm 0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:19.800 not saying that this machine is going to succeed or fail. 0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:22.600 But it's one of these things where when you are 0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:24.359 and this is kind of like why I go to 0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:26.880 all this stuff, you have to be aware of what's 0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:29.880 out there so that when people ask you about things, 0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:33.520 you know what the market has and what it doesn't have. 0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:36.879 So there's so many things like that. I saw another 0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:40.480 idea in the market. Now I'm gonna I'll talk about this, 0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:42.600 but there's this little there's this little section that I 0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:46.720 personally love of CS called Eureka Park. These are all 0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:50.439 the kind of scrappy startups from all over the world, 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.760 and they usually have just one little product that they 0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:54.720 are just launching. I think that one of the people 0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.439 told me the product has to launch at CS, like 0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.479 it can't be something that's been on the market. Has 0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.840 to at least a new version or a new feature. 0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:07.119 But one of these things was a digital lock for 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.840 bathrooms at like a gas station, and you would have 0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:14.720 to tap to pay to get into the lock, which 0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:18.159 I thought was really interesting. It is called flush Locks USA, 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:20.760 and they're gonna start selling this thing and it just 0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:24.720 looks like a digital lock for your front door, except 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.760 it's got a screen pad, it's got number keys, on it. 0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:31.639 It's got tap to pay and you can open this 0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:35.280 bathroom door by yourself if you pay the dollar ninety 0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:38.080 nine for access. Now you may be saying rich, that's 0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:40.840 so evil. I have public restrooms. A public restroom. Yeah, 0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:45.200 have you been to public restroom lately? They're horrific. I mean, 0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:47.160 the things that have happened in there are like I 0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:50.280 don't even know. And so I would gladly pay a 0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:52.960 dollar for a clean restroom on a road trip. Why not? 0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:56.080 And so this company's gonna start putting these things in 0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:58.160 the marketplace. We'll see. I don't know if that's gonna work. 0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:00.320 I mean, I don't know what the rules and regulation are. 0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:02.120 But a lot of these places you go into, they're like, sorry, 0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:05.320 no public restroom. But if you're making money on your 0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:08.080 restroom and people are happy to pay for a clean restroom, 0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:09.760 I think it's a win win situation for a lot 0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:13.320 of people. So again, all these ideas you see at CS. 0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:18.320 It's still a place where new ideas take flight, and 0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:20.120 I love to be there for that. And I've got 0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:22.000 many more to tell you about. I got to tell 0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:26.320 you about these color changing press on nails. Unbelievable. I 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:28.960 don't know how they work, but that's a wild thing. 0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:32.080 Eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight eight 0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:34.680 seven four to two four one zero one. More rich 0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:41.920 on Tech coming your way right after this. Welcome back 0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:44.160 to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, 0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:47.640 talking technology. Triple eight rich one O one eight eight 0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:50.640 eight seven four to two four one zero one. Let's 0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:53.440 go to line one. We've got Mike on Mark on 0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:55.880 the line in Seattle. Mark, you're on with Rich. 0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:59.440 Yeah, Rich, Hey, I have a VRBO and I would 0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:03.160 like remotely control the heat, you know, control the heat 0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:05.040 with the guests they make sure the heats off. And 0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:07.680 i'd also like to if if it's possible to have 0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:11.360 a door that I could change the combinations to remotely, 0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:13.240 because currently I just have a key box that I'm 0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:16.160 manually set, and I have a manual thermostat, and a 0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:18.959 lot of times the guests will even though they're started 0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:23.520 to turn the heat down, they don't cuss. It eats 0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:24.320 into my funds. 0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:28.560 Yeah, okay, well you just gotta you gotta go with digital, 0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:32.400 a digital door lock and a digital thermostat. So what 0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:34.160 do you have right now for those things you just 0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:36.360 you said you have a lock box or just a physical. 0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:40.920 Everything's just manual. Now. The thermostat's you know, battery operated 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.760 like digital thermostat and it controls electric heat. 0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:47.160 Do you have a Wi Fi cant? Do you have 0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:48.440 a router or Wi Fi connection? 0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:52.520 Yes, d r bo if you have a dr bio 0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:54.560 in this neck of the witch, you need to have 0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:56.200 a high speed internet, so yes, I do. 0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:59.160 Okay, perfect. So I was gonna say, I mean, I 0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:00.800 you know, unless people are trying to stay there to 0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.360 disconnect from everything, you gotta have you gotta have Wi Fi. 0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:06.480 I mean that would be a problem if you didn't. Okay, 0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:08.920 Well you can. So I have one of these locks 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:12.520 on my door, like the smart lock, and basically you 0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:17.080 can create different codes for different people, so you can 0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.200 do it right from the app. You can do it instantly. 0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:22.560 It will update. Now I'm looking online right now, and 0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:27.640 it's interesting because you're using Verbo. It looks like some 0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:33.360 of these actually integrate with the app, so I would 0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:35.440 look to see it right now, I'm only seeing it. 0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:38.280 Looks like Airbnb has a couple of models that integrate 0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:41.560 with the app, which means when someone rents a place 0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:44.920 on Airbnb, it generates a code for the front door 0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.000 and then it sends it to your lock, so that 0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:49.200 person has a unique code and that's it. It only works 0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:50.960 for them when they flog in, which is, by the way, 0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:52.400 would be a lot less work for you. 0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:57.080 Right, Yeah, how often I might lose some control over 0:31:57.120 --> 0:32:00.120 it too. I don't just go through rent it from 0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:03.479 vrbo iver in it through other sources also. 0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:06.640 Okay, well, the good news is you it's easy to 0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:08.640 do this, so you've got I mean, Schlague is the 0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:12.640 one that I've tested that I like. It works and 0:32:12.680 --> 0:32:15.400 you can definitely do that remotely. So you would just 0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:17.760 get one of these. I mean, they have a whole 0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:20.800 bunch of different ones, but the encode plus uh, you know, 0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:22.680 just look for one of those that they have and 0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:26.640 they will let you change the codes from the app 0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.040 and you can have up to one hundred codes. Now, 0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:32.840 you probably want one that's a little bit more reinforced 0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.000 because it's gonna be used by a lot of people, right, 0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:36.320 so you want to make sure you're getting a heavy 0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:39.719 duty one that's number one. Yale is another brand that 0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:43.520 has one that you know is obviously very popular as well. 0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:46.239 I'm trying to look at this one let's see, uh, 0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.760 it's got some good weather resistance and it's got the 0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:54.120 Wi Fi connect. Okay, that's good. And then let's see okay, 0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:57.240 and then there's one called Lockley. That one's interesting. I'm 0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.400 not familiar with that, but it's it's coming up here 0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:03.640 and it's saying that basically, it can issue offline access code, 0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:05.760 so if the internet connection ever happened to go down, 0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:08.960 it would still work with a code offline, which could 0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:11.120 be interesting. But it looks like a lot of these 0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:14.680 things can have up to one hundred codes at one time, 0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.719 so you could either rotate through those codes or just 0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:20.440 give you know, sign people a code however you want 0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:22.880 to do it. But that's definitely easily doable. So that's 0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:27.440 number one. When it comes to the thermostat, I would say, 0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:30.720 I mean, there's really two thermostats out there that are 0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:32.480 good for this sort of thing. I would say the 0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:35.600 Nest thermostat is kind of like, you know, it's the 0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:40.480 thermostat that invented the entire genre of smart thermostats. So 0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:42.560 the neat thing about the Nest thermostat, and a lot 0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:44.280 of the other ones do this too, is that they 0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:47.600 do have presence sensing built in, so even if the 0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:52.080 people leave this airbeing or this verbo and they forget 0:33:52.080 --> 0:33:54.480 to turn it down like you ask them to, this 0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:57.520 thermostat is smart enough to know when everyone leaves the 0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:00.480 house and it's vacated, it will automatically fault to the 0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:02.719 temperature that you set in the app to go, or 0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:05.000 you could just go into the app and manually set that. 0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:07.080 So there's a lot of ways to do that. But 0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:09.520 those are the two things that you need to get 0:34:09.520 --> 0:34:12.120 this set up. And I think your your guests will 0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:14.080 really appreciate that. I think a lot of them will 0:34:14.080 --> 0:34:16.440 know how to use the nest, so I would probably 0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:18.120 go with that. The other, the other one that a 0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:21.160 lot of people like is called ecob or echo be 0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:23.279 on how I say it, but it's that's they make 0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:25.480 smart thermostats that a lot of people like as well, 0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:29.480 and they also have thermostats that have those presence detection 0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:33.759 sensors in them as well. So those are your options, Mark, 0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:37.279 I think that's gonna really help you out there. Pretty cool. 0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:39.600 You know, it's a nice little business to have. You 0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:42.440 got those got that rental property, you got people coming in. 0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:46.480 I you know, I've only stayed in a handful of 0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:50.680 these airbnbs or these verbos. I think they're really interesting. 0:34:50.719 --> 0:34:53.360 I think that you know, it's it serves such a 0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:55.759 purpose for what you want to do. Right, Like if 0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:57.840 you're like we had you know, my my mother in 0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:00.640 law's birthday at like this giant house that we rented, right, 0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:04.359 you can't you can't have two four, six, eight, ten, twelve, 0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:06.959 you know, twelve people in a how in a hotel room? 0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:08.640 Like you just can't do that. I mean maybe there's 0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:10.560 an hotel room, but it's like, you know, and plus 0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:12.600 you had this great estate, you had this great pool, 0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:16.640 so it's really amazing. How again, when you look at 0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:19.440 what Airbnb invented, And I went to the Airbnb event 0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:22.839 this year where you know the guy who started it, 0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:25.920 he just Brian Cheskey talks about you know, how he 0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:27.640 came up with this idea and it was just literally 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:29.719 him and a couple of people in San Francisco, and 0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:32.239 I think there was a conference coming to town, and 0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:34.719 he said, hey, why don't we put some like air 0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:36.959 mattresses on the floor and rent them out to people 0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:39.000 that are coming to this conference it's like a tech conference. 0:35:39.600 --> 0:35:44.600 And sure enough that is now a multi billion dollar company, 0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:48.640 and people have made a living getting places, renting places, 0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:50.080 making their places great. 0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:50.359 You know. 0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:52.719 I mean, it's just so amazing that when you think 0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:55.439 about and I guess I'm just inspired right now because 0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.440 of everything I saw at CES. There's still so many 0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:01.080 ideas out there that there's just waiting to be born. 0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:04.680 And you know, people may be frustrated, they may say, oh, 0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:07.440 everything's been thought of. Sometimes all you have to do 0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:10.440 is modify an idea to make it better. I mean, 0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:12.520 who would have thought that a guy with an air 0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:15.879 mattress would take on Marriot. If you told me that, 0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:18.120 you'd say, no, way, you can't. Mariot's got a hotel 0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:21.239 in every every single city in the world. And you know, 0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:25.040 now people stay in Airbnb. It's a it's a proprietary eponym. 0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:26.799 No one said, you know, no one says I'm gonna 0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:28.520 stay in Marriot. They say I'm gonna stay in a hotel, 0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:31.759 but they do say I'm gonna stay in Airbnb. Eighty 0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:34.040 eight Rich one O one eighty eight seven four to 0:36:34.040 --> 0:36:40.560 two four one zero one more after this, Welcome back 0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:42.799 to rich On Tech. Rich Tomuro here hanging out with you, 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:47.000 talking technology. Triple eight rich one oh one eight eight 0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:49.400 eight seven four to two four one zero one. I 0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:53.919 am looking at an incredible view right now of the 0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:58.560 Las Vegas sphere. Wizard of Oz is playing today at 0:36:58.600 --> 0:37:01.120 eleven am and two pm. Buy tickets now I can 0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:04.120 see that. Yeah, if you have not seen this fear 0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:06.920 in real life, it is quite incredible. It's been outside 0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:10.200 my hotel room. Yes, I'm broadcasting live from Las Vegas 0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.520 this week because of CS and CS is the big 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.480 technology show that everyone from around the world pretty much attends. 0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:18.960 Not open to the public, by the way, so don't 0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:20.520 try to come. We were talking to some folks at 0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:23.400 the bar last night and he said, Oh, I wanted 0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:25.240 to go to the show see all those cool robots 0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:27.160 and things. And I realized you can't. You can't buy 0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:30.240 a ticket. No, you cannot. But I've talked to CS 0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:32.680 about this. I said, you guys need to do one 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:36.120 day where the public can come to the show. You 0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:41.359 would make so much money. The public would gladly pay 0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:44.720 twenty twenty five, thirty forty fifty dollars for a ticket 0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:48.080 to see all this cool stuff. Now, the floor is 0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:51.120 crowded as it is, so I don't think they would 0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:53.080 do it during the normal show, but maybe you stay 0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:56.400 open an extra day and you let the public in. 0:37:56.960 --> 0:38:00.399 They would love to experience this stuff. I mean, it's 0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:02.279 not a year goes by where people say, Rich, I 0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:04.399 would love to go to CES. I want to see that. 0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:07.319 But I'm still here looking at I can see the 0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:10.640 convention center. By the way, they remodeled the convention Center 0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:13.400 this year. It was kind of a surprise. Maybe a 0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:16.080 couple years ago they remodeled one of the wings. Now 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:18.359 they've remodeled I think it was a west wing. Now 0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:23.000 they've remodeled the north and central hallwing, and it looks incredible. 0:38:23.120 --> 0:38:28.440 I mean, it's now a proper entrance to this convention center. 0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:30.960 And I think they still have the South wing to go. 0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:33.600 That's the final wing to be remodeled. But you know, 0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:35.839 there's only a couple of cities that can handle a 0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:40.000 giant conference like this. I think Orlando's one of them. 0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:42.960 Las Vegas. I'm not sure where else can handle you 0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:45.040 one hundred and fifty thousand people at the same time 0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:47.759 in a city, especially with the hotel rooms just absorbing that. 0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:51.600 Saw so many cool things that CS. I'll get to 0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:53.360 a call in just a second, but let me just 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:55.480 tell you about this one. I just got a If 0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:57.640 you haven't checked out my instagram at rich on Tech, 0:38:57.680 --> 0:39:00.280 you gotta go there. I've got so many things posted 0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:03.319 from CS and they're just so fun. I posted the 0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:06.719 most visual stuff at richon Tech on Instagram. Just just 0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:09.040 scroll through and just have a you know, just sit 0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:11.680 down your couch have you know, still listen to the 0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:14.880 show obviously, but just you know, maybe grab a a 0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:16.640 soda or whatever you want. I mean, I'm not telling 0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:17.880 you if drink soda, but you know what I mean, 0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:20.520 and you know, just sit there and scroll. It's fun. 0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:23.080 I mean, there's so many cool visual things from this show. 0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:27.560 One of them I saw is this startup called eye Polish. 0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:32.360 They're making color changing press on nails. They are digital 0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.680 I don't know what this material is, but you pick 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:39.080 a color on the iPad. Yeah, it sends it via 0:39:39.080 --> 0:39:42.800 bluetooth to this little device. You pop your nail into 0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:46.000 the device and suddenly the nail flickers and the color changes. 0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:48.600 And yes, if you watch Total Recall, I've got a 0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:50.760 whole bunch of people sending me the clip from that movie. 0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:53.200 It's exactly what it looked like in that movie where 0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:55.279 the person taps their finger and the color of their 0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:59.520 nail changes. And I watched this demo of this girl 0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:02.120 changing the color of her nails a bunch of times, 0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:04.880 and I still couldn't figure out how it's done, and 0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:07.680 she couldn't really explain it either, So I said, how 0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:11.200 is this being done? What kind of digital witchcraft is this? 0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:14.239 It is really cool. The device is going to sell 0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:17.399 for like one hundred dollars and then each individual set 0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:19.640 of nails is you know, it sounded pretty reasonable. I 0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:22.120 can't remember the exact price, but it wasn't overly crazy. 0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:24.200 But yeah, you can change. Let's say you put these on. 0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:27.080 They last about two weeks. You put these on your nails, 0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.640 and every single day you can change the color of 0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:33.439 your nails to match your outfit. Now I'm not doing 0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:37.760 this personally, but I could see the appeal. My wife, 0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:40.800 she loves. During the pandemic, she found these like press 0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:42.640 on nails. Remember back in the day when I was 0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:44.759 a kid, they had Lee press on nails. I remember that. 0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:47.680 I think that was the name, right. I could just 0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:49.440 it's just like it's seared in my head from when 0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:52.319 I was a kid, Lee press on nails famous since 0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:55.640 the nineteen eighties. Now she uses a different brand. Oh 0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:58.440 it's called Dashing Divas. That's right. See, these are the 0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:02.000 things I know because I see the bill. But Dashing 0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:04.879 Divas she discovered during the pandemic and she loves them. Now, 0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:07.040 it's a lot of work. She's sitting there at our 0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:09.320 table and she literally looks like she working in a 0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:11.719 nail salon. She's like filing her nails putting all these 0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:13.440 things on. It takes a lot of work, but they 0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:17.319 look great, especially for you know, at home nails. But 0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:19.920 now we're taking a step further. You gotta check out 0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:23.799 the video again. The company is called I Polish. They're 0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:27.120 a startup out of Florida, and they're gonna be selling 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:30.640 these things soon. But yeah, that was really cool. She 0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.120 gotta you gotta see that. All right, let's go to 0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:39.000 Vanessa Vanessa online three calling from You're gonna have to 0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:40.880 tell me how to say the name of this city, Vanessa. 0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:42.239 What's what's the how do you say the name of 0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:46.799 your city?

It's the home of a lethal 0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:04.880 brothels into that. 0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:08.160 Oh wow, okay, well you know, I'm surprised I haven't 0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:13.480 been there before. No, I'm just kidding. Uh oh my gosh. 0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:13.839 Uh. 0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:19.640 Kim apparently knew that. And Bobo's taking notes all right, 0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:23.040 in all seriousness, what what's happening? What's what's going on? 0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:24.800 Well? 0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:29.040 I tried to change from Last Past to Bitwarden, and 0:42:29.480 --> 0:42:33.680 I cannot figure out the instructions. I try, I read, 0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:38.759 I've downloaded it. I tried importing from last Pass and 0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:40.439 I can't get it to work. 0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:43.359 Really, I was wondering if you have if you. 0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:47.759 Have a simple plot, a simplified instructions for that. 0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:53.800 Okay, let me let me see Bitwarden import from Last Past. 0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:55.960 I think they would have it on their help page. 0:42:56.200 --> 0:42:58.680 I did this recently and I found the process to 0:42:58.719 --> 0:43:01.600 be quite easy. So I will definitely link up the 0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:04.879 help page that bitwarden has. But where how are you? 0:43:04.920 --> 0:43:06.520 Where are you doing this? Are you doing this on 0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:09.040 your computer or on your smartphone? 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:10.000 On my computer? 0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:13.960 Okay? So when you open up Last Past, you found 0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:19.680 the ability to export your vault correct, correct, okay, and 0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:20.280 you get. 0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:24.000 That file file yeah. 0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:27.200 Okay, you saved it to an Excel file. Yes, okay, 0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:30.080 that might be the problem. You gotta say. Well, okay, 0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.560 now when you say excel, is it a CSV that's 0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:35.960 a comma separated value file? Is that with the dot CSV? 0:43:36.080 --> 0:43:37.440 Is that what it is? Okay? 0:43:37.480 --> 0:43:37.680 Good? 0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:40.600 Yeah, okay, Excel okay. 0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:42.280 Okay, so you don't need to open it in Excel. 0:43:42.320 --> 0:43:43.920 Do you don't need to open this at all? So 0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:47.880 don't open it, export it and then don't open it. Okay, 0:43:47.960 --> 0:43:52.800 that's number one. Now, once you once you get that file, 0:43:52.880 --> 0:43:56.400 that export dot CSV, you're going to go into bitwarden 0:43:56.600 --> 0:44:01.359 on your computer. Okay, And I'm trying to see if 0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:05.200 you can do this. Yes, so you have to do this, Yeah, 0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:06.600 you can do this on your computer. You have a 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:07.560 Chrome web browser. 0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:10.640 Yeah okay. 0:44:10.840 --> 0:44:13.960 So did you install the bitwarden extension on your web browser? 0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:15.359 Yeah? 0:44:15.880 --> 0:44:17.839 Okay, so you did that. Now, when you go into 0:44:17.880 --> 0:44:21.239 settings on bitwarden, can you open up there? Can you 0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:23.960 open up bitwarten, go to settings. Once you go there, 0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:29.640 you'll see vault options and it says import items. You 0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:33.080 tap that and then you go and you look at 0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:36.880 your data. It says data file and it will say 0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:40.960 last pass, so you tap that, and then it even 0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:44.120 gives you an option to import directly directly from last pass. 0:44:44.160 --> 0:44:45.880 You can try that, but I think you already have 0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:48.880 the CSV, so just do that. You choose your file, 0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:51.960 and it will import all of those passwords into bitwarden 0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:56.080 and that's it. It should be pretty straightforward. Have you 0:44:56.120 --> 0:45:04.239 done all those steps? Okay, well I think we lost Joan, 0:45:04.280 --> 0:45:07.560 but sorry, Vanessa. But if you've done those steps, it 0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:10.920 should be pretty straightforward, and then when you go into bitwarden, 0:45:11.320 --> 0:45:15.680 all of your passwords should be in your vault. Now 0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:19.080 I did this recently and it really is a quite 0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:21.520 easy process and there's really not much more you have 0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:23.160 to do other than that. The only thing I will 0:45:23.200 --> 0:45:25.240 I will tell you Vanessa, once you're done with that file, 0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:28.920 I would delete it and get rid of it, because 0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:30.759 the reason you want to get rid of it is 0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:32.600 because it has all of your passwords on there, So 0:45:32.920 --> 0:45:35.200 definitely delete that. You don't want that lingering around getting 0:45:35.200 --> 0:45:38.000 in the wrong hands, and then you can go in. 0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:40.440 Now what I would do is don't go ahead and 0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:43.279 delete last past. The first day. You do this, give 0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:45.920 yourself a couple of weeks of overlap. That's what I 0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:49.680 did for myself when I change from my old password manager, 0:45:50.000 --> 0:45:51.880 And so you give yourself a couple of weeks of 0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:54.800 overlap because if you're having trouble you can't find a password, 0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:57.319 something imported wrong, you can go back to last pass 0:45:57.360 --> 0:45:59.600 and find that password and correct it. But you can 0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:01.960 always do a password reset nine times out of ten 0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:04.239 and before you get you know, once you're up and 0:46:04.280 --> 0:46:07.720 running on bitwarden, then you can go into last Pass. 0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:09.719 You can delete your account, you can delete the app, 0:46:09.760 --> 0:46:12.719 get rid of everything, and you can now finally, you know, 0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:16.000 completely use bitwarden in your day to day. But that's 0:46:16.000 --> 0:46:19.760 what I would recommends. That's the process that I used, 0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:22.520 and it worked pretty well. And I'm not look nothing 0:46:22.560 --> 0:46:25.600 against last Pass, nothing against all these other password managers. 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:29.759 But Bitwarden is completely free. And you may be saying, well, rich, 0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:32.360 if it's free, it can't be that good. It is good. 0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:35.399 And I've met with the CEO. I've talked to them 0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:39.160 extensively about their plan and their product, and they do 0:46:39.239 --> 0:46:41.600 open source a lot of it so that people can 0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:43.520 check to make sure what they're doing is on the 0:46:43.600 --> 0:46:46.120 up and up. That's a great thing. And why is 0:46:46.160 --> 0:46:48.200 it free? Well, even if you want it to pay 0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:53.040 for bitwarden, the personal pricing is so cheap that, in fact, 0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:54.759 I got an email this week someone said, hey, rich 0:46:54.760 --> 0:46:56.959 why don't you just pay just to support them, which 0:46:56.960 --> 0:47:00.759 I probably will do. It's like ten bucks. Let's say 0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:04.000 I'm trying to find the personal and if you look 0:47:04.000 --> 0:47:08.200 at a view all plans so free, free forever, zero dollars, 0:47:08.640 --> 0:47:11.640 unlimited devices, some of these some of these apps that 0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:14.160 are free for your password, they'll limit you to a 0:47:14.160 --> 0:47:17.359 certain amount of devices, one or two devices. You get 0:47:17.360 --> 0:47:20.240 pass keys, management, all the core functionality, and it's always 0:47:20.239 --> 0:47:22.040 going to be free. Plus you can share with one 0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:25.960 other user premium ten dollars a year. You can swing 0:47:26.040 --> 0:47:29.040 that ten bucks a year, why not? And you get 0:47:29.120 --> 0:47:32.000 even more features like file attachments. I'll put a link 0:47:32.080 --> 0:47:34.120 to all of this on the website Vanessa, including that 0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:37.799 help page.

Like I'm talking all of my time. Now, 0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:25.360 I am testing a new feature on Gmail called AI Inbox, 0:48:26.160 --> 0:48:29.080 and let me tell you, it is incredible. So this 0:48:29.120 --> 0:48:32.440 week Gmail or Google I guess, added a couple of 0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:36.279 new AI features to Gmail that you're now getting for free. 0:48:36.320 --> 0:48:38.239 These are things that you used to have to pay for, 0:48:39.239 --> 0:48:42.440 and a couple of them. Basically, it's like smart replies 0:48:43.000 --> 0:48:45.560 and all these different things that you know. It's kind 0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:49.000 of turning your Gmail inbox into like an AI assistant. 0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:52.719 So number one has features that help you write emails. 0:48:52.960 --> 0:48:56.600 It'll summarize emails and suggest replies in your own tone. 0:48:56.640 --> 0:48:59.680 That was the thing that was missing before. Now it's 0:48:59.680 --> 0:49:01.439 looking at all your emails. You know, I have twenty 0:49:01.520 --> 0:49:03.920 years worth of emails in there. It knows exactly how 0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:06.359 I write my emails, which by the way, are usually 0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:09.840 like one or two words, but it will suggest replies 0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:11.920 in my own voice. That's all going to be free, 0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.120 and that's rolling out to Gmail users now in the US, 0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:17.319 so don't be surprised if you start typing an email 0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:19.319 and it wants to help you write it. That used 0:49:19.320 --> 0:49:21.040 to be a paid feature which I've been using for 0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:23.600 a long time. Now everyone's getting it, which is incredible. 0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:26.360 Also summarized, so when you look at the top of 0:49:26.360 --> 0:49:28.360 your email, it'll have a little summary of the email, 0:49:28.400 --> 0:49:30.520 which is really helpful, especially when you get into like 0:49:30.520 --> 0:49:33.160 a long back and forth with someone, you could just 0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:36.920 see what the latest is. And then smart replies you're getting, 0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:38.839 you know, like I said, more personal with the way 0:49:38.840 --> 0:49:41.560 that you do that. Now, this is the other cool 0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:46.319 thing that it's getting that is just truly, truly incredible. 0:49:47.120 --> 0:49:50.200 They have basically taken all of your emails. Now this 0:49:50.239 --> 0:49:52.920 is for paid users, and they are now letting you 0:49:53.000 --> 0:49:55.520 search those through those emails the way you would search 0:49:55.640 --> 0:49:58.160 with a chatbot. So I don't know about you, but 0:49:58.280 --> 0:50:00.239 you know, you make a reservation for something, you trying 0:50:00.280 --> 0:50:02.600 to find that exact email with that information, you can 0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:06.960 never find it quickly for some reason. Now, AI Overview 0:50:07.320 --> 0:50:11.840 will synthesize the information. It will scour your inbox, find 0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:14.000 the information, even if it's across a whole bunch of 0:50:14.000 --> 0:50:16.719 different emails, and put that into a little summary up 0:50:16.760 --> 0:50:18.759 at the top, just the way that AI is doing 0:50:18.800 --> 0:50:22.120 it on CHATGBT, the way that AI is doing it 0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:25.000 on AI overview for Google, or when you see that 0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.520 little AI summary up at the top of your search. 0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:29.080 Now that's going to happen in Gmail, but you have 0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:31.759 to be a paying Gmail user to get that. And 0:50:31.840 --> 0:50:34.000 I am, and I already have it, and it is 0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:37.960 so amazing. You can ask questions of your email, your 0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.799 past twenty years of emails. You can ask questions just 0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:44.319 like you would an AI chatbop. And it's only programmed 0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:47.200 on your emails. Now I know, before you send me 0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:50.560 the angry emails. Yes, this is private. Google is not 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:55.239 using your email to train their AI box. They're not 0:50:55.440 --> 0:50:58.080 sharing your information with anyone else. This is all done 0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:01.520 a very private way. Think about as your email is 0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:04.560 a little vault, and their AI box can look into 0:51:04.600 --> 0:51:07.080 that vault, but it can't share that information with anyone else, 0:51:07.120 --> 0:51:10.000 nor is it being trained on that vault. So come on, 0:51:10.080 --> 0:51:11.880 this is Google. They're gonna do things in a private 0:51:11.920 --> 0:51:14.680 way because they know there would be backlash if they didn't. 0:51:15.160 --> 0:51:17.920 So I am absolutely loving that feature. Now, the new feature, 0:51:18.000 --> 0:51:20.640 the super new feature that I'm testing that is only 0:51:20.640 --> 0:51:23.680 available to a handful of people, and I beg them 0:51:23.719 --> 0:51:27.040 to give me. This is called AI Inbox. And this 0:51:27.280 --> 0:51:29.840 just takes your whole email, changes the way your inbox 0:51:29.880 --> 0:51:32.560 looks completely, and it gives you as soon as you 0:51:32.560 --> 0:51:33.840 get to the top, it says, hey, right, you have 0:51:33.880 --> 0:51:36.520 eleven suggested to do s and fourteen topics to catch 0:51:36.600 --> 0:51:38.920 up on. And it gives me all the things I 0:51:38.960 --> 0:51:41.720 need to do in my inbox that are like pressing, 0:51:42.200 --> 0:51:44.799 whether it's paying a bill, whether it's an RSVP, whether 0:51:44.840 --> 0:51:47.680 it's a reply, whether it's a sign an agreement, submit 0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:50.560 a time card, pay your taxes, update billion information. I mean, 0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:52.320 this is stuff that's on there right now. It's amazing, 0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:56.759 It's totally amazing. Then you've got topics to catch up on, 0:51:57.200 --> 0:51:58.920 and it's got all the little things that you need 0:51:58.960 --> 0:52:00.680 to know that people wrote you in an email, like 0:52:00.719 --> 0:52:05.600 ten thousand characters, but it summarizes it and it organizes it. 0:52:05.600 --> 0:52:09.520 It is truly incredible. I will be such a productive 0:52:09.520 --> 0:52:12.840 person because of this. But Google, if you're listening on 0:52:12.920 --> 0:52:15.600 these suggested to dos, you need a checkbox so I 0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:18.359 can get rid of it, because I already it says 0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:21.000 you have to update my ex billing information. I already 0:52:21.000 --> 0:52:22.360 did that. I figured it out. Now I want to 0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:24.239 get rid of that card. So I need a way 0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:26.120 to get rid of that, and it's not there yet. 0:52:26.120 --> 0:52:28.400 But again, it's day two, so I'll give you a 0:52:28.440 --> 0:52:30.360 little bit of a break there. All right, let's go 0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:33.240 to Kathleen in Santa Clarita line for Kathleen. 0:52:33.239 --> 0:52:36.879 You're on with Rich Hello, how are you today?

We've got a great guest, someone who's 0:54:55.800 --> 0:54:58.640 been on the show many times before. Matt. You may 0:54:58.880 --> 0:55:02.320 Matt Swider from the show, Welcome to the show. 0:55:03.160 --> 0:55:04.000 Thanks for having me Rich. 0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:08.640 He literally took a red Eye from Las Vegas to 0:55:08.760 --> 0:55:11.640 fly back to New York City, still made it in 0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:14.319 time for this hit. I am so impressed with you 0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:14.799 right now. 0:55:15.520 --> 0:55:18.000 Thanks. I barely made it, but I did make it. 0:55:18.040 --> 0:55:18.879 You're right, you're right. 0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:20.839 Now. 0:55:21.239 --> 0:55:23.879 Tell me about CS twenty twenty six. What did you 0:55:23.960 --> 0:55:25.600 What was your what's your key takeaway? 0:55:27.040 --> 0:55:30.840 I'd say, we're seeing you know, gadgets, the next generation 0:55:30.880 --> 0:55:34.480 of gadgets, but also AI integrated smartly. 0:55:34.520 --> 0:55:35.879 It's not just a marketing term. 0:55:36.120 --> 0:55:40.080 So we're seeing a lot of you know, smarter programmatic 0:55:40.480 --> 0:55:43.000 gadgets that are trying to predict what you want and 0:55:43.160 --> 0:55:47.680 personalize to you. For me, there's good AI and bad AI. 0:55:48.120 --> 0:55:51.799 And good AI is able to you know, predict what 0:55:51.840 --> 0:55:54.160 you want, but bad AI kind of you know, it's 0:55:54.200 --> 0:55:57.799 AI slop as as we've been calling it. So it 0:55:57.880 --> 0:56:01.319 depends on Hey, how useful is this information that they're 0:56:01.320 --> 0:56:04.600 collecting from you and trying to, you know, figure out 0:56:04.600 --> 0:56:08.000 what you want? All right, So I'm seeing it in TVs. 0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:12.319 I'm seeing it in graphics processes from Nvidia where they're 0:56:12.360 --> 0:56:15.080 trying to take a graphics card that's usually in a 0:56:15.120 --> 0:56:18.799 desktop and use AI to double the frames or you know, 0:56:18.880 --> 0:56:23.760 double the resolution without having to have a large graphic process. 0:56:23.840 --> 0:56:26.760 So stuff like that that's really good AI in my opinion. 0:56:28.400 --> 0:56:30.840 You do the website the shortcut dot com. This is 0:56:30.880 --> 0:56:33.840 a newsletter that you in website that you know is 0:56:33.840 --> 0:56:36.480 all for consumers and all the gadgets that you're you're 0:56:36.520 --> 0:56:39.040 trying to get has got some great advice there. You 0:56:39.120 --> 0:56:42.759 gave out awards at the show, so you've got a 0:56:42.760 --> 0:56:45.720 whole bunch of a list of gadgets that won year awards. 0:56:45.719 --> 0:56:47.000 I'm just going to go down the list of some 0:56:47.040 --> 0:56:49.239 things that I think are interesting and you can kind 0:56:49.239 --> 0:56:51.440 of give me a couple thoughts about them very you know, 0:56:51.520 --> 0:56:53.200 quickly obviously, so I want to get through as many 0:56:53.200 --> 0:56:57.319 as possible. The Pawport Smart pet door. Why did you 0:56:57.320 --> 0:56:58.000 give that an award? 0:56:58.120 --> 0:56:58.600 What is that? 0:56:58.680 --> 0:56:58.879 Yes? 0:56:58.960 --> 0:57:00.520 So then we saw that to you years ago. We 0:57:00.560 --> 0:57:02.400 really liked the idea, but it was more of like 0:57:02.400 --> 0:57:05.279 a kickstarter thing. And then two years later they come 0:57:05.320 --> 0:57:09.160 out with one, and they said it's so much more doorable, 0:57:09.280 --> 0:57:12.960 Like it opens up the doggy door, the traditional doggy door, 0:57:13.239 --> 0:57:17.320 but it does it with either an app or motion, right, 0:57:17.400 --> 0:57:19.760 So it's kind of like one of these smart door locks, 0:57:19.800 --> 0:57:22.680 but for your pet. And now it's bulletproof, so that's 0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:24.400 how durable it is. And I was like, you know what, 0:57:24.440 --> 0:57:26.560 I don't think by my dogs would be packing, but 0:57:27.160 --> 0:57:28.320 just you know. 0:57:28.360 --> 0:57:30.480 Your dogs would be like, let me in. Now the 0:57:30.600 --> 0:57:32.680 dog has like a little a little like dongle on 0:57:32.720 --> 0:57:36.400 the chain on the the collar right to only open 0:57:36.440 --> 0:57:38.720 it for them, isn't that part of it? Yes? 0:57:38.960 --> 0:57:41.880 And like you wolf can't get in, and they yes, 0:57:42.000 --> 0:57:44.720 they demonstrated to us, and it was, uh, you know, 0:57:44.840 --> 0:57:45.640 is it in working order? 0:57:45.680 --> 0:57:48.479 It went out sale Black Friday. Of this past year. 0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:51.520 So it is out there and that's why we're like, Okay, 0:57:51.760 --> 0:57:54.480 this is mature enough where it's actually in consumers homes. 0:57:54.720 --> 0:57:56.840 And it reminds me of something that should be, you know, 0:57:56.960 --> 0:57:58.760 on the Jets, and it reminds me of the future. 0:57:59.080 --> 0:58:01.600 And I don't know if you remember that scene from 0:58:01.680 --> 0:58:05.920 Home Alone where Marv gets into the doggy door for 0:58:06.120 --> 0:58:09.400 Kevin mcgows's home. This stops something like that, right, you 0:58:09.400 --> 0:58:13.480 don't want to open, you know, door, So this is 0:58:13.520 --> 0:58:16.000 something in the future, has like two swinging doors that 0:58:16.080 --> 0:58:16.640 come open. 0:58:17.520 --> 0:58:17.960 Very cool. 0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:20.600 Yeah, it's pretty smart. And make sure no other critters 0:58:20.600 --> 0:58:23.240 get into your house either. Okay, this was a trend 0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:26.280 we saw over and over, these smart glasses, the even 0:58:26.360 --> 0:58:28.600 Realities G two. I tried these on. They kind of 0:58:28.640 --> 0:58:31.280 have a little screen in them. What do you think 0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:33.120 Even Realities is doing well with these? 0:58:34.120 --> 0:58:37.560 I think it's the fact that there's the smart glasses 0:58:37.600 --> 0:58:39.800 that don't have the screen, and then there's the Apple 0:58:39.880 --> 0:58:42.840 Vision pro on the other side, and there's certain companies 0:58:43.200 --> 0:58:46.880 ray Ben or there's a companies like a Rainio and 0:58:46.960 --> 0:58:49.560 Even Realities that are starting to put a screen inside. 0:58:50.080 --> 0:58:52.720 Ray Ben is doing it with the meta glasses, but 0:58:53.400 --> 0:58:56.360 the functionality doesn't work for me nearly as well. 0:58:57.200 --> 0:58:58.960 And this did all right. It's simple. 0:58:59.520 --> 0:59:01.960 It has heads up display, kind of like your Some 0:59:02.040 --> 0:59:03.760 cars have those heads up displays. 0:59:04.000 --> 0:59:06.080 I think that's the intriguing part. 0:59:06.120 --> 0:59:09.120 It's it's getting to the middle of I want a display, 0:59:09.120 --> 0:59:11.120 but I don't need the Apple Vision pro. I just 0:59:11.160 --> 0:59:14.280 want something that's telling the information, that's give given me 0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:17.200 notifications that I can use as you know, when I 0:59:17.280 --> 0:59:19.760 need to read a script for on air, Like I 0:59:19.800 --> 0:59:20.640 find that intriguing. 0:59:21.360 --> 0:59:25.080 Yeah, well, okay, now did you test the teleprompter functionality, 0:59:25.080 --> 0:59:27.560 because it's really cool. But the thing that they need 0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:29.600 to figure out is they need to make the screen 0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:32.200 sort of float in front of you more than move 0:59:32.240 --> 0:59:34.680 around every time your head moves. You know, that's the 0:59:34.720 --> 0:59:37.640 only issue. Because I'm not kidding, this is game changing. 0:59:38.040 --> 0:59:40.800 If we can get that teleprompter. I want a circuit 0:59:40.840 --> 0:59:44.360 of a speaking circuit just with these glasses, like I 0:59:44.400 --> 0:59:47.160 will bring it. Come have me talk to your people, 0:59:47.200 --> 0:59:49.240 and I will tell you I will make the whole 0:59:49.240 --> 0:59:51.240 thing on a script and I will you know, I mean, 0:59:51.280 --> 0:59:54.440 obviously I'll affect it, but it would be so helpful. 0:59:55.360 --> 0:59:58.280 Absolutely can you imagine, like you you know, head talks, 0:59:58.560 --> 1:00:01.480 instead of having those monitors and a lot of gear, 1:00:02.080 --> 1:00:04.640 it's just someone wearing a pair of glasses and the 1:00:04.680 --> 1:00:07.560 words are getting piped to them that they've previously written. 1:00:07.600 --> 1:00:09.000 So I find that intriguing. 1:00:09.080 --> 1:00:11.760 Yes, that it's those are the kinks where it's like, 1:00:11.880 --> 1:00:15.800 this is great conceptual, award winning technology, but there's gonna 1:00:15.800 --> 1:00:18.280 be a version three or version four down the line 1:00:18.280 --> 1:00:23.120 that fixes those issues. Uh, you want to pick something, Yeah, 1:00:23.240 --> 1:00:28.720 let's go with the lg EVO C six and W six. 1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:31.720 So the W six is more intriguing to me than 1:00:31.760 --> 1:00:34.960 anything because again it's, oh, it's a wallpaper TV. 1:00:35.280 --> 1:00:38.200 Have you seen this? Oh yeah, oh my gosh. Yes, 1:00:38.280 --> 1:00:39.840 it was like it's like it's a is it like 1:00:39.960 --> 1:00:41.480 nine millimeters thin? Is that the. 1:00:41.560 --> 1:00:46.600 Size exactly right? And you know that is something that 1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:49.280 stands out at me. It's when this this technology is 1:00:49.320 --> 1:00:52.040 not only vibrant, which it is and it has all 1:00:52.080 --> 1:00:54.360 the you know, the resolution capabilities that you need, but 1:00:55.080 --> 1:00:59.040 it fits into a home where you're not It's almost 1:00:59.120 --> 1:01:01.640 like an art piece in a lot of ways. Where 1:01:01.760 --> 1:01:04.280 it does look like wallpaper, you could mistake it for 1:01:04.440 --> 1:01:07.400 blending into the rest of your wall. I found that 1:01:07.760 --> 1:01:10.960 super interesting and uh and at the same time, I'll 1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:13.760 go ahead and say another one. Samsung has a one 1:01:13.800 --> 1:01:18.200 hundred and thirty inch micro RGBTV. It looks like it's 1:01:18.200 --> 1:01:20.480 on an easel. That's that's how they actually have it 1:01:20.520 --> 1:01:20.880 set up. 1:01:21.040 --> 1:01:23.160 Yeah, okay, oh that okay, so that was how they 1:01:23.280 --> 1:01:25.200 that's how they present it. I thought that was just 1:01:25.200 --> 1:01:26.560 for the show. But that's how you could have it 1:01:26.600 --> 1:01:27.120 in your house. 1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:31.320 I believe you know, they're they're pitching it as you know. 1:01:31.600 --> 1:01:35.320 This is for someone who's building their mansion and they're 1:01:35.360 --> 1:01:38.360 they're choosing the TV and building the house around around it. 1:01:38.400 --> 1:01:40.520 So you'd have to put the TV in first and 1:01:40.520 --> 1:01:42.000 build the walls around it because it's so big. 1:01:42.560 --> 1:01:44.160 That's the only way you have to do it. I mean, 1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:46.800 that's that's when you have that much money. I don't 1:01:46.800 --> 1:01:49.240 know how much it costs yet, but uh, it will 1:01:49.280 --> 1:01:52.360 be an expensive accessory for a home. 1:01:52.600 --> 1:01:53.800 But but the something, the. 1:01:53.760 --> 1:01:56.120 Great thing is in ten years you'll be going to 1:01:56.160 --> 1:01:58.120 cost go for that rotisserie chicken. You'll just pick up 1:01:58.120 --> 1:01:58.880 one of these TVs. 1:01:59.480 --> 1:02:03.640 Absolutely, yes, the amount of you know, just how affordable 1:02:03.680 --> 1:02:07.360 things are after I'd say five years, like, oh lead, 1:02:07.600 --> 1:02:10.439 O Lead was like ten thousand dollars when at first launch, 1:02:10.480 --> 1:02:12.600 if not more right when I saw my first O 1:02:12.720 --> 1:02:15.920 Lead And now now it's you know, under a thousand 1:02:16.000 --> 1:02:17.800 for a lot of O led TVs. 1:02:19.000 --> 1:02:20.360 You've got a lot of other stuff. You got. You 1:02:20.560 --> 1:02:22.920 got the Samsung trifold on here, which I went hands 1:02:22.920 --> 1:02:26.760 on with. That's the screen phone. The Dell XPS. Dell 1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:30.160 got a lot of publicity because they brought back the 1:02:30.160 --> 1:02:31.440 the XPS name, right. 1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:34.040 Yeah, we were toying around with that when we're like 1:02:34.040 --> 1:02:36.600 the Shortcut team when we were giving out awards, were like, 1:02:36.960 --> 1:02:39.280 do we just love this because it's a great laptop, 1:02:39.320 --> 1:02:42.280 which it is, or because they kind of changed the 1:02:42.320 --> 1:02:45.320 name last year after years of Dell XPS being their 1:02:45.360 --> 1:02:48.040 their brand name and their you know, the most iconic 1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:50.960 laptop name, they got rid of it and it came 1:02:51.000 --> 1:02:54.280 back because they realized, oh, like a Dell Pro and 1:02:54.280 --> 1:02:58.000 stuff like that, like del Max's not really good naming 1:02:58.040 --> 1:03:00.640 conventions and confused a lot of people. So they almost 1:03:01.000 --> 1:03:03.360 made a whoop see last year and then made up 1:03:03.360 --> 1:03:04.760 for it this year by just saying, you know what, 1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:06.160 let's pretend that didn't happen. 1:03:06.320 --> 1:03:09.200 So very smart on love when I love when companies 1:03:09.240 --> 1:03:10.960 can do that and admit like, hey, you know what, 1:03:11.000 --> 1:03:13.360 we try this, it's not working. We're going back. And 1:03:13.440 --> 1:03:16.240 people celebrated it, and they got a lot of you know, 1:03:16.640 --> 1:03:19.800 a lot of publicity for that because people, you know, 1:03:19.920 --> 1:03:23.240 especially in the tech world, that missed that name, they 1:03:23.280 --> 1:03:26.440 really enjoyed that. I saw this the my que Secure 1:03:26.560 --> 1:03:29.400 View three and one smart lock. This was pretty cool. 1:03:29.680 --> 1:03:31.920 It's like basically every way you can imagine getting into 1:03:32.320 --> 1:03:33.880 your lock, they've got it built in. 1:03:34.520 --> 1:03:34.720 Yeah. 1:03:34.720 --> 1:03:36.840 They have actually five ways you can tap into it, 1:03:36.880 --> 1:03:40.640 including the past code, including traditional key, but also face unlocked. 1:03:40.720 --> 1:03:43.480 So my Q has built a really good face unlocked 1:03:43.520 --> 1:03:46.360 feature that I haven't seen in a lot of other 1:03:46.440 --> 1:03:47.080 smart locks. 1:03:47.240 --> 1:03:48.280 There are other smart locks. 1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:50.320 There's actually a lot of smart locks at cees, but 1:03:50.400 --> 1:03:53.000 this one kind of intrigued me. It's a dead boat, 1:03:53.160 --> 1:03:55.840 it's a security camera, and of course it's a smart 1:03:55.880 --> 1:04:00.240 lock that unlocks when you approach it, and that that 1:04:00.360 --> 1:04:03.640 to me. I see a lot of these airbnbs, which 1:04:03.680 --> 1:04:06.479 is very cool, these these smart locks, because it beach 1:04:06.560 --> 1:04:09.840 trying to fetch a lock from a little lock box 1:04:09.920 --> 1:04:12.680 and It just makes things so much more seamless. When 1:04:12.800 --> 1:04:15.680 there's a keypad on there, there's face on lock, there's 1:04:15.680 --> 1:04:19.560 traditional locks, there's fingerprint sss, there's lots of ways to 1:04:19.680 --> 1:04:24.120 access your home. And also what I like is my 1:04:24.160 --> 1:04:27.680 parents have you know, they have a Yale lock and 1:04:28.080 --> 1:04:30.960 a nest those kind those are kind of outdated. 1:04:31.240 --> 1:04:33.760 This is the whole package. It's a three on one device. 1:04:34.800 --> 1:04:37.560 Yeah, that's amazing. All right, we may have time for 1:04:37.560 --> 1:04:39.280 one more. Let's try. Let's do one more of your 1:04:39.320 --> 1:04:40.959 choice and we'll see if we have time for one more. 1:04:41.760 --> 1:04:46.720 Sure, let's go with the Legion Lenovo Legion pro Rollable. 1:04:46.920 --> 1:04:49.960 This to me was it's got our Best Concept award. 1:04:50.640 --> 1:04:53.400 What I really liked about this is it expands the 1:04:53.440 --> 1:04:58.000 screen on a gaming laptop. Right, Lenovo also has this 1:04:58.120 --> 1:04:59.960 on like a regular laptop that goes up and down. 1:05:00.120 --> 1:05:02.800 This takes a screen and makes it wider, so like 1:05:02.800 --> 1:05:05.439 a sixteen by nine by like a twenty one by nine, 1:05:05.480 --> 1:05:09.040 and it expands out. Usually with these out Yeah, so 1:05:09.200 --> 1:05:13.240 usually with these screens we see we see like expanding 1:05:13.280 --> 1:05:16.560 screens or like unfolding screens on a thin and light 1:05:16.600 --> 1:05:19.200 device that kind of sacrifices some performance. We see that 1:05:19.240 --> 1:05:22.200 all the time. This is a gaming laptop. So that's 1:05:22.200 --> 1:05:24.000 what really intrigued me about this. It's one of my 1:05:24.040 --> 1:05:27.080 favorite things of the show. Lenovo always brings good concepts 1:05:27.120 --> 1:05:29.480 to see. Yes, it's things that you may not see 1:05:29.920 --> 1:05:33.240 in reality on sore shelves for like five years. But 1:05:34.200 --> 1:05:39.200 you know, their legion lineup of gaming laptops is very good. 1:05:39.720 --> 1:05:42.560 This might be the future where you're like, I need 1:05:42.600 --> 1:05:44.720 more screen space, but also I need to stow this 1:05:45.080 --> 1:05:45.880 in my backpack. 1:05:45.960 --> 1:05:49.480 So the fact that you can do gaming is a 1:05:49.560 --> 1:05:50.000 huge thing. 1:05:50.840 --> 1:05:53.600 It looks like that XPEC I don't know how you 1:05:53.600 --> 1:05:56.200 say that z beec those screens that you attach those 1:05:56.240 --> 1:05:58.800 laptop screen extenders on the sides. It looks like that 1:05:58.840 --> 1:05:59.920 built into the laptop. 1:06:01.320 --> 1:06:02.280 That's a great analogy. 1:06:03.360 --> 1:06:06.640 And I'm not quite sold on having wings on my 1:06:06.720 --> 1:06:09.760 screen for you know, accessories kind of like you mentioned, 1:06:09.920 --> 1:06:12.360 I see those sold in Walmart and Amazon all the time. 1:06:13.240 --> 1:06:16.080 This having it built in is kind of luxury. It's 1:06:16.120 --> 1:06:18.840 it's motorized. We were having so much fun playing with it. 1:06:19.360 --> 1:06:21.520 Yeah, and that that will actually I think that will 1:06:21.520 --> 1:06:24.120 happen because it's it's something that every single person that 1:06:24.120 --> 1:06:27.080 has a laptop needs. You always need that screen real estate, 1:06:27.440 --> 1:06:29.880 especially with you know, these chat apps and the things 1:06:29.920 --> 1:06:32.240 you want to keep in the sidebar. Matt, we're gonna 1:06:32.280 --> 1:06:35.360 leave it there. Thank you so much for doing this today. 1:06:35.440 --> 1:06:39.160 Really appreciate it.

You started this 1:06:42.480 --> 1:06:44.439 business from the ground up, and I think you're doing 1:06:44.520 --> 1:06:46.800 such an incredible job. You're really taking on some of 1:06:46.800 --> 1:06:50.000 these established media companies at their own game and doing 1:06:50.040 --> 1:06:51.880 a better job at it.

You are 1:08:04.800 --> 1:08:06.240 on with Rich.

Years and years and years ago, when 1:08:18.520 --> 1:08:22.840 I first got my first desktop computer, I signed up 1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:25.360 for AOL and it was free. 1:08:25.439 --> 1:08:28.880 A lot of people did, yeah. 1:08:27.880 --> 1:08:31.200 And I've kept it all these years. And oh, several 1:08:31.280 --> 1:08:33.719 years ago, not several, but a couple of years ago, 1:08:34.479 --> 1:08:38.080 I received a notice from AOL saying I needed to 1:08:38.160 --> 1:08:41.720 change it to AO AOL Gold and it was gonna 1:08:41.760 --> 1:08:44.559 be four ninety nine a month. Well, it made it 1:08:44.560 --> 1:08:47.040 sound like I needed to do that, so I did. 1:08:48.120 --> 1:08:51.880 Now that is six ninety nine a month. I don't 1:08:51.880 --> 1:08:55.439 see any difference between my free AOL and the sixth 1:08:55.560 --> 1:08:58.559 ninety nine AOL Gold And if there any way I 1:08:58.560 --> 1:08:58.960 can go. 1:08:59.000 --> 1:09:04.679 Back, you know, absolutely absolutely, so AOL Desktop goal number one, 1:09:05.240 --> 1:09:07.960 are you still using the desktop version, like you still 1:09:07.960 --> 1:09:10.080 have the download of AOL on there or using the 1:09:10.120 --> 1:09:13.080 website at this point, I'm not sure. 1:09:13.120 --> 1:09:16.679 I log on and then I click on the icon 1:09:16.800 --> 1:09:18.240 on my desktop and it's. 1:09:19.800 --> 1:09:22.320 Yep. So it sounds like it's actually like an AOL 1:09:22.400 --> 1:09:25.160 application that you have on your computer. Okay. So the 1:09:25.200 --> 1:09:29.400 AOL Desktop Gold is like an enhanced version of the 1:09:29.479 --> 1:09:32.880 standard AOL software. So it's got some you know, anti 1:09:32.960 --> 1:09:36.200 phishing like security. You can customize it more, you get 1:09:36.240 --> 1:09:39.040 more support. So they're giving you a couple of things 1:09:40.040 --> 1:09:42.920 extra for that price. But you do not need this. 1:09:43.040 --> 1:09:47.719 I can guarantee you that, Thank you. So the deal 1:09:47.840 --> 1:09:50.720 is you've got to downgrade to AOL, which is which 1:09:50.720 --> 1:09:53.040 you can do.

Cancel my billing, cancel subscription, 1:11:47.360 --> 1:11:48.960 and that's it. This will be out of your life. 1:11:48.960 --> 1:11:52.000 You'll still have AOL. You may have to download a 1:11:52.040 --> 1:11:54.360 new version of that Desktop Gold, or it may just 1:11:54.680 --> 1:11:58.360 the desktop Gold naming may just disappear. But I think 1:11:58.439 --> 1:12:01.000 no matter what, you'll still you're all account will still 1:12:01.040 --> 1:12:03.280 be there. Everything will still be intact. Do you still 1:12:03.320 --> 1:12:05.080 use the AOL email? Is that what you use? 1:12:05.520 --> 1:12:05.720 Yeah? 1:12:06.479 --> 1:12:08.559 Yeah, so that will still be there. It's just all 1:12:08.600 --> 1:12:10.960 going to be free. Which, by the way, I mean, 1:12:11.200 --> 1:12:13.439 you know, they they probably got people to subscribe to 1:12:13.479 --> 1:12:17.120 this AOL Desktop Gold just because back in the day 1:12:17.200 --> 1:12:20.439 people were used to paying for AOL, then it became 1:12:20.560 --> 1:12:23.120 free because of high speed internet, and now they're trying 1:12:23.120 --> 1:12:24.599 to you know, they tried to get people to pay again. 1:12:24.680 --> 1:12:28.280 Nobody's really paying for this, So go ahead and do that. 1:12:28.360 --> 1:12:30.599 I will link this up on the website. If you 1:12:30.640 --> 1:12:32.639 send me an email, Mary, I will send this directly 1:12:32.680 --> 1:12:35.640 to you. It's a hello at richontech dot tv.

Welcome back to rich On tech. Rich Demiro 1:13:20.600 --> 1:13:24.360 here hanging out with you, talking technology, Triple eight Rich 1:13:24.400 --> 1:13:26.720 one on one eight eight eight seven four to two 1:13:26.920 --> 1:13:31.160 four one zero one, coming to you live from Las Vegas. Yes, 1:13:31.400 --> 1:13:34.000 the site of CS twenty twenty six. A lot of 1:13:34.000 --> 1:13:36.320 people ask, what does CES stand for? Doesn't stand for 1:13:36.360 --> 1:13:39.640 anything anymore. Used to be Consumer Electronics Show. Now it 1:13:39.760 --> 1:13:42.519 is just CEES. That is the name of the show, 1:13:42.840 --> 1:13:45.200 and that's to reflect kind of the changing nature of 1:13:45.200 --> 1:13:47.479 all this technology. I mean, there's so many things on 1:13:47.520 --> 1:13:50.320 the show floor, more so than just the TVs and 1:13:50.320 --> 1:13:53.760 the radios and the DVD players and TVO made its 1:13:53.800 --> 1:13:56.120 debut here. I mean, so many gadgets over the years 1:13:56.120 --> 1:13:58.760 made their debut here. I've been covering this show for 1:13:59.120 --> 1:14:01.599 more than fifteen years, if you can believe it. I 1:14:01.600 --> 1:14:05.280 remember my very first show. I was with CNET and 1:14:05.479 --> 1:14:09.759 I stayed in the Palms Hotel. My stay was eleven days, 1:14:10.360 --> 1:14:12.760 eleven days in Las Vegas, and by the way, that 1:14:12.840 --> 1:14:15.200 was so far away from the convention center. Now I 1:14:15.320 --> 1:14:17.040 like to stay a little bit closer. It's not really 1:14:17.080 --> 1:14:19.720 walking distance per se, that would be the ultimate goal. 1:14:19.800 --> 1:14:22.479 There is. There are a handful of hotels that are 1:14:22.479 --> 1:14:25.600 walking distance to the convention center. I like to just 1:14:25.600 --> 1:14:28.639 be on the monorail, so that's a lot easier. Eighty 1:14:28.720 --> 1:14:32.320 eight rich one oh one richontech dot tv is the website. 1:14:32.320 --> 1:14:33.800 If you're not there, if you're not signed up for 1:14:33.840 --> 1:14:36.360 my newsletter, please sign up for the newsletter. It is 1:14:36.640 --> 1:14:39.040 the best way to keep up with everything that I do, 1:14:39.560 --> 1:14:42.479 all the smart tips, I share all the coverage that 1:14:42.520 --> 1:14:45.519 I have, and on my Instagram as well at rich 1:14:45.600 --> 1:14:48.040 on Tech. Follow me on Instagram. So it's really just 1:14:48.160 --> 1:14:51.360 a couple of places to find me. Instagram, the newsletter, 1:14:51.479 --> 1:14:55.240 the website, TV radio. Is there anything else? I think 1:14:55.240 --> 1:14:58.120 that's it. A couple other things I saw at CS 1:14:58.120 --> 1:15:01.679 and then I'll take a call here. Ultrasonic chef's knife 1:15:01.960 --> 1:15:06.400 company called Seattle Ultrasonics designed a chef's knife that vibrates 1:15:06.520 --> 1:15:10.120 thousands of times per second at an ultra high frequency 1:15:10.160 --> 1:15:12.880 to help you cut through food easier. So I tried 1:15:12.920 --> 1:15:15.240 this on a tomato. I tried it on a potato. 1:15:15.439 --> 1:15:18.599 Anything that rhymes, I tried it on, and yeah it does. 1:15:18.680 --> 1:15:21.160 It slices through very easily. It glides through with less 1:15:21.160 --> 1:15:25.280 effort fifty percent less effort. Yes, very expensive. Three hundred 1:15:25.280 --> 1:15:27.519 and fifty dollars kind of bulky. You got to recharge it. 1:15:28.240 --> 1:15:30.760 The charging device is one hundred and fifty dollars, so 1:15:30.800 --> 1:15:32.360 five hundred bucks if you want to use this thing 1:15:32.360 --> 1:15:35.280 in your house more than once. But I think in 1:15:35.280 --> 1:15:37.800 the future this will probably be something that we take 1:15:37.840 --> 1:15:39.839 for granted. We just all have kind of like a 1:15:39.960 --> 1:15:45.800 ultrasonic toothbrush, same principle there. That's from Seattle Ultrasonics. And 1:15:45.880 --> 1:15:50.479 I love this the glide smart hair clipper. Remember the flowbe. 1:15:51.479 --> 1:15:53.040 I never had a Flowbee as a kid, but I 1:15:53.040 --> 1:15:55.120 always saw those commercials on TV, and I always wanted 1:15:55.160 --> 1:15:56.720 one because I thought it was so efficient. Why go 1:15:56.760 --> 1:15:58.840 to the barber shop when you just put this thing 1:15:58.840 --> 1:16:01.880 on a vacuum suck it up on. I don't know, 1:16:02.080 --> 1:16:06.519 just I guess the clippers somehow change or rotate when 1:16:06.520 --> 1:16:09.000 they're you know, on the vacuum head, and then you 1:16:09.120 --> 1:16:10.400 just kind of move it around your head and you've 1:16:10.400 --> 1:16:12.280 got a haircut. Now. They kind of left out the 1:16:12.320 --> 1:16:14.120 fact that you still got to do like all the trimming, 1:16:14.360 --> 1:16:16.479 you know, around the ears and you know, the back 1:16:16.479 --> 1:16:18.320 of your neck, all that good stuff. But hey, why 1:16:18.360 --> 1:16:21.400 not you get a free haircut? But Glide is an 1:16:21.479 --> 1:16:23.919 AI version of this, so it looks like a hair clipper, 1:16:24.280 --> 1:16:29.559 but there's no plastic guard attachments. The blade automatically adjusts 1:16:29.640 --> 1:16:31.840 as you move it up and down your head, so 1:16:31.880 --> 1:16:33.360 you can get like a perfect fade. 1:16:33.479 --> 1:16:33.639 Now. 1:16:33.640 --> 1:16:35.280 They did not test this on me, although I was 1:16:35.320 --> 1:16:37.080 completely open to them doing that because I need a 1:16:37.080 --> 1:16:40.280 haircut right now. But that's another one. Glide g l 1:16:40.520 --> 1:16:43.920 Yde smart hair clipper. Who knows that I'll take off? 1:16:44.560 --> 1:16:48.760 This one was just silly. The ice Plosion instant carbonated 1:16:48.800 --> 1:16:51.519 slushy machine. It's kind of like a soda stream, but 1:16:51.600 --> 1:16:55.479 it makes slushies and they are carbonated and they're frozen. 1:16:55.920 --> 1:16:58.840 So a soda stream, I didn't realize the soda doesn't 1:16:58.840 --> 1:17:01.599 come out cold. You can't like get instantly unless I'm mistaken, 1:17:01.800 --> 1:17:05.880 that's what I understood. But this it instantly makes a 1:17:05.920 --> 1:17:09.920 carbonated slushy that's frozen. And it's seven hundred dollars for 1:17:09.960 --> 1:17:12.880 the machine, which is a lot of money. The pods 1:17:12.920 --> 1:17:14.679 are about a dollary each, kind of like a cakeup. 1:17:14.720 --> 1:17:16.360 You pop it in there, you wait four minutes, it 1:17:16.600 --> 1:17:18.960 spits out this slushy. I've got a video of this 1:17:19.000 --> 1:17:20.920 on my Instagram at rich On Tech, they call it 1:17:20.960 --> 1:17:24.439 ice splosion. Yeah, when the slushy came out, it like 1:17:24.880 --> 1:17:27.400 is splattered everywhere, like all over my suits. I was 1:17:27.479 --> 1:17:29.519 like cracking up. But I did try it and it 1:17:29.560 --> 1:17:35.240 was delicious. I've tried the sugar free blue Raspberry and 1:17:35.280 --> 1:17:37.960 it was really good. Even though there's no straw to 1:17:38.040 --> 1:17:39.320 use it with. I had to like dump it into 1:17:39.400 --> 1:17:44.320 my mouth and yeah, got everywhere. So that's the ice explosion. 1:17:45.080 --> 1:17:47.439 Then you've got this other company called camel Oh c 1:17:47.840 --> 1:17:51.280 cha m E l O. They make these sunglasses or 1:17:51.320 --> 1:17:55.679 I guess just glasses in general, that adjust their tint 1:17:56.280 --> 1:17:58.880 with a tap of the side, so they have like 1:17:58.960 --> 1:18:03.400 different tint colors and sort of the amount of tint 1:18:03.479 --> 1:18:06.240 that this eyeglass can have. You just tap the side 1:18:06.680 --> 1:18:11.160 and it changes. So it's a photochromatic lens and it's 1:18:11.320 --> 1:18:13.280 you know, the idea is that the sun is not 1:18:13.360 --> 1:18:15.880 always the same brightness. Sometimes you want lighter, sometimes you 1:18:15.920 --> 1:18:18.559 want darker, and so you can just adjust them and 1:18:18.600 --> 1:18:22.080 they are rechargeable. Some of them have Bluetooth music built 1:18:22.120 --> 1:18:25.000 into them. Some of them actually automatically adjust their tint. 1:18:25.320 --> 1:18:28.439 But this company got a lot of publicity here Chimelo 1:18:28.680 --> 1:18:31.519 c h A M E l O. They start at 1:18:31.560 --> 1:18:35.200 two hundred dollars and finally this one. I absolutely loved 1:18:35.760 --> 1:18:40.120 Plant Pets. This looked like the booth looked like little 1:18:40.160 --> 1:18:43.679 Shop of Horrors because all the plants were moving in unison. 1:18:44.240 --> 1:18:46.360 So this looks like a regular plant pot, but it 1:18:46.400 --> 1:18:51.440 turns your houseplant into an interactive companion that moves, reacts, 1:18:51.520 --> 1:18:54.320 and can even quote unquote talk to you. So you 1:18:54.400 --> 1:18:57.599 put this probe in the soil, and somehow that probe 1:18:57.600 --> 1:18:59.680 makes it so that when you touch the leaves, the 1:18:59.720 --> 1:19:02.799 pop reacts and it can move, It can make little sounds. 1:19:03.040 --> 1:19:05.439 If it needs water, it's gonna make a gurgling sound 1:19:05.920 --> 1:19:08.559 instead of dying, like you know all plants do that 1:19:08.600 --> 1:19:11.880 I bring home. I thought this was just so funny. 1:19:12.360 --> 1:19:15.639 They're already selling the earlier version on Amazon. It's called 1:19:15.720 --> 1:19:19.160 Plant Pets. The new version has a couple more features. 1:19:19.760 --> 1:19:22.200 So I just thought this was such a great idea. 1:19:22.360 --> 1:19:24.280 I kind of want one of these from my house 1:19:24.760 --> 1:19:27.400 because when does your plant move it, it literally gives 1:19:27.439 --> 1:19:30.840 this plant almost a lifelike kind of a life on 1:19:30.920 --> 1:19:33.560 its own. The Plant Pets p l A N T 1:19:33.840 --> 1:19:37.840 Petz Robotic Planner is already on Amazon's one hundred and 1:19:37.840 --> 1:19:39.920 twenty nine dollars, but the guy told me it's gone 1:19:39.960 --> 1:19:42.080 on sale for as low as seventy nine dollars, so 1:19:42.240 --> 1:19:44.560 watch for those price drops. All right, let's go to 1:19:44.680 --> 1:19:50.000 Linda in San Pedro. You are online three, you're on 1:19:50.080 --> 1:19:51.360 with Rich Hey. 1:19:51.360 --> 1:19:53.400 Rites, you sound like a kid in the Candy Story 1:19:53.479 --> 1:19:55.200 going to that tech event. 1:19:56.200 --> 1:19:58.960 Oh my gosh, it's so fun. It's just it really 1:19:59.120 --> 1:20:00.800 is like I wish I had two weeks here, to 1:20:00.840 --> 1:20:02.920 be honest, because I don't get to see everything. But 1:20:03.040 --> 1:20:05.320 I just, you know, I just have to smile when 1:20:05.320 --> 1:20:06.920 I see some of this stuff, like who thinks of 1:20:07.000 --> 1:20:10.439 a plant pot that you know comes to life. I mean, 1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:12.439 it's just silly, but it's fun and I think people 1:20:12.479 --> 1:20:14.320 will like it. Anyway, go ahead with your question. 1:20:15.120 --> 1:20:17.120 And those fingernail things is bizarre. 1:20:17.600 --> 1:20:19.519 Anyways, Oh yeah, you saw the video. 1:20:20.240 --> 1:20:21.920 I haven't seen it, but I'm going to pull it up. 1:20:22.080 --> 1:20:23.800 That's the Oh you got to pull it up. It's 1:20:23.920 --> 1:20:27.120 so wild. It just looks so weird. But go ahead. 1:20:27.520 --> 1:20:31.400 I have a question regarding videos that are online. I 1:20:31.640 --> 1:20:35.920 like to look at animal videos and it comes you know, 1:20:36.160 --> 1:20:38.800 with a whole bunch of Anyway, when I pull up 1:20:38.800 --> 1:20:42.479 my front page of the Internet and some videos, they'll 1:20:42.520 --> 1:20:48.160 say and please subscribe. And so I have two questions 1:20:48.200 --> 1:20:51.799 about that. What I don't want to subscribe to anything 1:20:51.920 --> 1:20:54.880 because I don't know what's going to happen. I don't 1:20:54.880 --> 1:20:57.560 know if I'm going to be hit with advertisements or 1:20:57.720 --> 1:21:01.240 a bunch of other videos that I don't want. So 1:21:01.479 --> 1:21:03.800 what do they do with my in sol? That's one question. 1:21:04.400 --> 1:21:07.760 The next one is what is the videographer whatever you 1:21:07.920 --> 1:21:10.360 call them, What is the videographer? Get out of it? 1:21:10.640 --> 1:21:13.200 If oh, this is this is a great way to 1:21:13.240 --> 1:21:14.679 support them? Are you talking YouTube? 1:21:15.640 --> 1:21:19.800 Well, I don't see the logo YouTube logo. I see 1:21:20.200 --> 1:21:24.439 there's like an animal logo with a pawprint, uh in 1:21:24.560 --> 1:21:27.320 the corner, but I don't see any YouTube logo. 1:21:28.439 --> 1:21:31.040 Well, if they're hosting it on YouTube, then if you 1:21:31.120 --> 1:21:35.760 are what's called subscribing to the channel, Like just so, 1:21:35.920 --> 1:21:39.800 YouTube has these like paid subscriptions, and so if you 1:21:40.200 --> 1:21:44.439 if you are a channel subscriber that's paid, you can 1:21:44.520 --> 1:21:48.080 actually you're supporting the person that's making that channel. So 1:21:48.240 --> 1:21:50.200 I actually think that's a pretty good thing. They called 1:21:50.240 --> 1:21:54.519 a channel membership, and so these you know, YouTubers need 1:21:54.600 --> 1:21:57.479 to make money in a variety of ways because they 1:21:57.560 --> 1:22:00.000 only make so much on the ad revenue that YouTube 1:22:00.000 --> 1:22:02.360 tube shares with them. But when you become a subscriber 1:22:02.560 --> 1:22:07.200 or a member rather, they're getting seventy percent of that revenue. 1:22:07.560 --> 1:22:10.240 So let's say I run a channel doing tech videos 1:22:10.320 --> 1:22:11.680 and I post them all the time, and I go 1:22:11.760 --> 1:22:14.280 to all these different shows and you like to watch them, 1:22:14.600 --> 1:22:17.160 and you subscribe. Do you become a member of my channel, 1:22:17.280 --> 1:22:19.439 I'm going to get seventy percent of that five dollars 1:22:19.479 --> 1:22:22.000 a month or whatever you you know, whatever this subscription is. 1:22:22.439 --> 1:22:24.559 And so it's a great way to support your favorite 1:22:24.880 --> 1:22:27.360 creators because you know, they need to make money because 1:22:27.360 --> 1:22:30.240 they're they're doing this on a daily basis. Now, what 1:22:30.840 --> 1:22:34.160 what do they see about you? Not very much? So 1:22:34.280 --> 1:22:36.400 I'm looking in my I don't I don't sub I 1:22:36.439 --> 1:22:39.080 don't have a channel membership offered on my YouTube channel 1:22:39.120 --> 1:22:42.519 because I'm not really focused on YouTube. But the only 1:22:42.600 --> 1:22:44.519 thing that I can see with my audience if I 1:22:44.560 --> 1:22:47.960 go into my analytics is basically their watch behavior. So 1:22:48.000 --> 1:22:49.680 I can see like kind of when they're watching when 1:22:49.680 --> 1:22:53.040 they're online. I can also see their gender. So I 1:22:53.080 --> 1:22:56.479 can see that sixty eight percent of my subscribers on YouTube, 1:22:56.640 --> 1:22:59.759 which again I don't really focus on our mail thirty 1:22:59.800 --> 1:23:03.439 one female. I can see their age range. I don't 1:23:03.479 --> 1:23:05.920 see their names. I don't even see their user names 1:23:05.920 --> 1:23:07.880 as far as I can tell. There might be a 1:23:07.960 --> 1:23:09.640 way to see that, but they're not. I don't even 1:23:09.640 --> 1:23:12.720 think they're getting your email address. So it's something that 1:23:12.920 --> 1:23:16.080 is pretty private in a way. But you are directly 1:23:16.160 --> 1:23:20.880 supporting your favorite creators by by joining that subscription or 1:23:20.920 --> 1:23:23.200 that membership to them. Does that make a lot of sense. 1:23:25.360 --> 1:23:28.800 Oh, they don't give out my information to anybody else. 1:23:29.840 --> 1:23:32.960 Now this is just on YouTube. It depends what you're joining. 1:23:33.000 --> 1:23:38.719 I mean, there's lots of video subscriptions out there in general. 1:23:39.240 --> 1:23:41.880 Unless it is something like you know, Patreon, you would 1:23:41.920 --> 1:23:47.280 have to look at the privacy page for whatever you're joining. So, 1:23:48.160 --> 1:23:51.439 for instance, I have a substack, which when you join 1:23:51.760 --> 1:23:55.680 my substack, I can see your email address directly. Now 1:23:56.040 --> 1:23:58.920 that is a rarity in a creator world because what 1:23:59.040 --> 1:24:02.000 happens is a lot of the creator focused websites they 1:24:02.080 --> 1:24:05.479 want to control the relationship. So let's say you're on 1:24:06.280 --> 1:24:09.360 something like Threads and someone follows you, Threads is not 1:24:09.439 --> 1:24:11.360 going to give up the email addresses of all the 1:24:11.400 --> 1:24:14.120 people that are following you because for privacy reasons and 1:24:14.160 --> 1:24:16.599 other reasons. But they want to control that relationship. They 1:24:16.640 --> 1:24:19.840 want you to go through Threads or Facebook or whatever 1:24:20.400 --> 1:24:23.960 to post things to your following. So some of these 1:24:24.360 --> 1:24:28.920 more creator focused programs, like a Patreon or like a substack, 1:24:29.280 --> 1:24:32.360 they may be more generous and what they share with 1:24:32.439 --> 1:24:34.800 you because they want you to control that relationship with 1:24:34.880 --> 1:24:38.040 your fans and subscribers. So it really depends on the 1:24:38.120 --> 1:24:41.439 setup of the specific video site that you're talking about. 1:24:41.920 --> 1:24:44.280 But what I would do is just google the name 1:24:44.320 --> 1:24:47.519 of that site and say, you know, if I become 1:24:47.560 --> 1:24:50.519 a member or a subscriber, what information do you share 1:24:51.040 --> 1:24:55.040 with that creator? And in most cases it's going to 1:24:55.080 --> 1:24:58.360 be a pretty private relationship, unless it is a site 1:24:58.479 --> 1:25:00.320 like a substack, where they give you you know, they 1:25:00.360 --> 1:25:02.960 give your name, or they may give your name and 1:25:03.000 --> 1:25:05.920 your email address and that's about it. But substack was 1:25:05.920 --> 1:25:10.800 specifically created to put newsletter writers in charge of their 1:25:10.880 --> 1:25:14.439 membership so that they control that membership and really can 1:25:14.560 --> 1:25:16.760 have a great relationship with those people. So but it 1:25:16.840 --> 1:25:19.800 all depends on the website. Good question, Linda, Thanks for 1:25:19.840 --> 1:25:22.120 the call today. Eighty eight Rich one on one eight 1:25:22.160 --> 1:25:24.240 eight eight seven four to two four one zero one 1:25:24.479 --> 1:25:26.240 more rich on Tech coming your way right after this. 1:25:29.479 --> 1:25:31.920 Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging 1:25:31.920 --> 1:25:38.120 out with you, talking technology. Let's go to Let's go 1:25:38.200 --> 1:25:42.479 to Will in Colorado Springs Line too. Will You're on 1:25:42.600 --> 1:25:47.519 with Rich hit there. Rich, Welcome to the show. 1:25:48.560 --> 1:25:50.720 Hey, I'm glad to hear your voice. It sir, I 1:25:50.800 --> 1:25:55.160 have a Hewlett Packard and I did something wrong and 1:25:55.439 --> 1:25:59.320 I now it doesn't want to function. It's a laptop. 1:25:59.439 --> 1:25:59.840 What'd you do? 1:26:00.000 --> 1:26:00.120 Oh? 1:26:01.800 --> 1:26:05.280 I was trying to delete a function and I ended 1:26:05.360 --> 1:26:08.000 up deleting it. Now it doesn't want to function. It 1:26:08.080 --> 1:26:09.040 says no Internet. 1:26:09.160 --> 1:26:09.280 Now. 1:26:10.040 --> 1:26:12.960 I don't know what I did, but I'm in an 1:26:13.000 --> 1:26:17.639 assisted living and all the other laptops in the household work, 1:26:18.080 --> 1:26:20.040 but mine says no Internet. And I don't know how 1:26:20.120 --> 1:26:21.000 to retrieve this. 1:26:22.600 --> 1:26:25.439 So the computer works, It just says no Internet. 1:26:25.880 --> 1:26:27.200 No Internet. That's what it says. 1:26:27.200 --> 1:26:29.479 Okay, does everything else work on it? 1:26:31.200 --> 1:26:33.880 I don't know what I did, but it doesn't want 1:26:33.920 --> 1:26:36.080 to function anymore. I can't even get googled. 1:26:37.280 --> 1:26:39.800 Okay, so it just sounds like you got disconnected from 1:26:39.920 --> 1:26:42.200 the Internet. How are you connecting to the internet? Typically? 1:26:42.280 --> 1:26:44.240 Is it Wi Fi inside this facility? 1:26:44.640 --> 1:26:47.240 I believe yes, yes, okay, all right. 1:26:47.240 --> 1:26:50.320 It sounds to me like you might have deleted the 1:26:50.439 --> 1:26:53.880 Wi Fi connection to this facility. So if you go 1:26:54.120 --> 1:26:58.040 in the lower right hand corner of this computer, there 1:26:58.120 --> 1:27:00.439 should be a little signal. It looks like little Wi 1:27:00.479 --> 1:27:02.400 Fi signal. Do you know what that looks like? It's 1:27:02.479 --> 1:27:07.080 kind of like a almost like a like a van. Yes, exactly? 1:27:07.600 --> 1:27:09.800 Is that lit up when you when you tap that? 1:27:10.439 --> 1:27:11.920 Does it? Are you on this computer? 1:27:12.040 --> 1:27:12.160 Now? 1:27:12.640 --> 1:27:15.639 Yeah? Okay? Does this say you're connected to anything underneath? 1:27:15.640 --> 1:27:15.680 That? 1:27:15.760 --> 1:27:16.840 Is it highlighted in blue? 1:27:17.840 --> 1:27:20.200 So what comes on is not connected? No way it works? 1:27:20.240 --> 1:27:21.439 And then it says Bluetooth on. 1:27:22.400 --> 1:27:25.760 Okay, perfect. So where it says not connected, I would 1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:29.560 tap that that arrow and it should bring up a 1:27:29.640 --> 1:27:32.640 list of all the Wi Fi networks that are available 1:27:32.720 --> 1:27:36.320 to you, and one of them should be the facility 1:27:36.360 --> 1:27:39.720 that you're in or whatever. Are you paying for this 1:27:39.800 --> 1:27:44.080 internet or do they just give you internet? Okay, so 1:27:44.400 --> 1:27:47.400 you have to tap the internet, you know, the Wi 1:27:47.520 --> 1:27:49.760 Fi network that they give you and you have to 1:27:49.800 --> 1:27:52.880 put in probably a password or it may remember this. 1:27:53.040 --> 1:27:55.599 But I think what happened is you might have deleted 1:27:55.640 --> 1:27:58.760 this network by accident or disconnected from it and deleted it. 1:27:59.080 --> 1:28:01.599 And that's why it's not automatically reconnecting, because it should 1:28:01.640 --> 1:28:04.880 automatically once you do this once, it should automatically reconnect. 1:28:05.360 --> 1:28:10.000 So unfortunately, okay, so find that network. Can you see 1:28:10.000 --> 1:28:11.479 the network in the list? Are you looking at it 1:28:11.560 --> 1:28:11.840 right now? 1:28:12.880 --> 1:28:22.200 Let me connect to this, uh says it says the address. 1:28:22.960 --> 1:28:28.120 Okay, okay, okay, it's I must say. 1:28:28.400 --> 1:28:31.639 I don't know what I did, but it's it's disconnected, yes. 1:28:31.520 --> 1:28:34.519 Sir, okay, so it says disconnected underneath. So you see 1:28:34.560 --> 1:28:36.320 the network name, but it says disconnected. 1:28:36.640 --> 1:28:38.880 This connecting is trying. 1:28:38.960 --> 1:28:41.960 Okay, okay, it's trying to connect. That's a good sign, 1:28:42.520 --> 1:28:46.120 so you might okay, so what do you want to do? 1:28:46.200 --> 1:28:48.120 Is I did what I did? I did it? 1:28:49.600 --> 1:28:52.000 Well, it happens, you know, we you know, play around 1:28:52.000 --> 1:28:54.640 on these things sometimes and they just kind of you know, 1:28:54.760 --> 1:28:57.759 sometimes it just it just happens. Okay. So what sounds 1:28:57.840 --> 1:29:01.639 to me is that you need to forget this network 1:29:02.240 --> 1:29:06.120 and then reconnect it. Okay, And so that is something 1:29:06.200 --> 1:29:09.720 that connect right next to it above all this, Yes, 1:29:10.000 --> 1:29:15.000 and I would disconnect, ye, disconnect or forget. I would 1:29:15.080 --> 1:29:17.760 hit forget. And then is there someone that can tell 1:29:17.760 --> 1:29:19.080 you the password to this network? 1:29:19.120 --> 1:29:19.320 Again? 1:29:19.439 --> 1:29:19.600 Is there? 1:29:19.680 --> 1:29:21.360 Before you disconnect it? Is there someone that can tell 1:29:21.360 --> 1:29:22.120 you the right password? 1:29:23.160 --> 1:29:23.400 Sure? 1:29:24.160 --> 1:29:26.639 Okay, yes, like some someone that works there. 1:29:28.360 --> 1:29:29.400 I'll do that right now. 1:29:30.040 --> 1:29:33.200 Yeah, okay, So disconnect from that network, go grab the 1:29:33.240 --> 1:29:35.600 person that has the password, and then reconnect. And I 1:29:35.720 --> 1:29:38.479 think that's going to solve your problems. And I think 1:29:38.560 --> 1:29:41.240 that's what's going on, is just somehow the password got 1:29:41.320 --> 1:29:44.559 changed or deleted, and then once you're reconnected there will 1:29:44.680 --> 1:29:47.000 you should be able to use your computer, you know, 1:29:47.240 --> 1:29:50.720 as as you previously did. So that that's what I 1:29:50.800 --> 1:29:53.600 think is going on there. So good question today. So 1:29:53.600 --> 1:29:56.200 you know, some of these things that happen are are 1:29:56.360 --> 1:29:58.920 just you know, they're very simple. You know, you think 1:29:58.960 --> 1:30:00.479 you have a big problem with your can computer, but 1:30:00.600 --> 1:30:02.320 it could be just a simple fix. You know, we 1:30:02.720 --> 1:30:07.120 we we often go through these computer screens really fast. 1:30:07.240 --> 1:30:08.840 And I know I'm guilty of it, My kid is 1:30:08.880 --> 1:30:10.679 guilty of I always give them a hard time because 1:30:10.920 --> 1:30:13.839 when we're doing something on the iPad together or his computer, 1:30:14.160 --> 1:30:16.479 he's going through these screens at a million miles an 1:30:16.520 --> 1:30:19.360 hour and I'm like, hey, Tanner, dude, like slow down. 1:30:19.520 --> 1:30:21.439 You gotta you know. And I'm guilty of it too, 1:30:22.400 --> 1:30:24.680 because we we think we know what these screens are 1:30:24.720 --> 1:30:27.720 gonna say, and they don't all the time. So that's 1:30:27.760 --> 1:30:29.800 what I would do. If you ever get disconnected from 1:30:29.840 --> 1:30:31.439 your Internet, you know, you can just go in there, 1:30:31.800 --> 1:30:34.720 forget the network and rejoin the network. Of course, you 1:30:34.760 --> 1:30:36.800 will need to know the password to do that, but 1:30:37.160 --> 1:30:40.200 that's a pretty simple fix. Thanks for the call today, 1:30:40.880 --> 1:30:43.519 Let's see what else before we have to So coming up, 1:30:43.640 --> 1:30:48.240 we're gonna talk to Kate Rowse. She is with open Ai. 1:30:48.920 --> 1:30:51.719 This week, chatchy BT came out with a new offering 1:30:51.800 --> 1:30:55.040 called chatchybt Health and basically they want you to upload 1:30:55.240 --> 1:30:58.639 or connect some of your smart devices like your Apple 1:30:58.720 --> 1:31:01.400 Watch and some of your health records to their service 1:31:01.479 --> 1:31:04.559 and then you can chat with AI about your health.

My name 1:31:23.680 --> 1:31:26.160 is rich Demiro, hanging out with you talking technology at 1:31:26.240 --> 1:31:29.000 Triple eight Rich one O one eight eight eight seven 1:31:29.120 --> 1:31:31.800 four two four one zero one. We will get back 1:31:31.800 --> 1:31:34.040 to the phone lines in just a moment. But first, 1:31:34.400 --> 1:31:36.720 open Ai made a big announcement this week. They have 1:31:36.760 --> 1:31:39.840 a new product. It's called chat GPT Health, and here 1:31:39.920 --> 1:31:42.400 to talk about it is the chief marketing officer at 1:31:42.439 --> 1:31:44.920 open Ai, Kate raw Kate, thanks so much. 1:31:44.840 --> 1:31:45.280 For joining me. 1:31:46.400 --> 1:31:47.640 Thank you so much for having me. 1:31:48.880 --> 1:31:52.200 So I've read the announcement and people are already using 1:31:52.439 --> 1:31:55.000 chat gbt for health, so this is a natural extension. 1:31:55.120 --> 1:31:59.320 So explain to me what the new offering is exactly 1:31:59.479 --> 1:32:01.280 versus just the standard chatbot. 1:32:03.400 --> 1:32:03.599 Yeah. 1:32:03.640 --> 1:32:08.559 Absolutely, So this week we announced two new new features 1:32:08.800 --> 1:32:13.240 for chat eybt and open Ai. The first is for 1:32:13.439 --> 1:32:16.920 everyday people and that's chatchybt Health, which is a new 1:32:17.120 --> 1:32:21.760 private space inside of chat eibt where you can bring 1:32:21.880 --> 1:32:26.719 together your medical records and then any connected health apps 1:32:26.760 --> 1:32:30.640 that you may be using. So things like ploton or 1:32:30.960 --> 1:32:35.240 weight watchers, or you know, a fitness tracker for things 1:32:35.360 --> 1:32:38.479 like steps or sleep. Now you can connect that all 1:32:38.760 --> 1:32:44.240 into chat gybt directly in a private, standalone area. 1:32:44.160 --> 1:32:44.880 Of the app. 1:32:45.280 --> 1:32:47.320 I mean, it's a natural extension of the way people 1:32:47.400 --> 1:32:50.679 have already been using CHATCHYBT. You mentioned that it's private. 1:32:50.760 --> 1:32:52.960 Let's get into the privacy aspect right away, because I 1:32:53.000 --> 1:32:55.559 think most people when they hear health, you know, they're 1:32:55.600 --> 1:32:58.240 concerned about privacy. These are the medical records, these are 1:32:58.280 --> 1:33:01.719 their stats. So explain to me how this is private 1:33:01.840 --> 1:33:05.160 and does my data go anywhere? Is it training your models? 1:33:05.280 --> 1:33:07.920 Is it going to show up on someone else's chat somehow? 1:33:09.640 --> 1:33:09.840 Yeah? 1:33:09.960 --> 1:33:10.559 Great question. 1:33:11.000 --> 1:33:15.600 We've built this with privacy absolutely top of mind. The 1:33:15.720 --> 1:33:19.960 baseline chatchbt experience is already has a very strong level 1:33:20.000 --> 1:33:20.599 of privacy. 1:33:21.040 --> 1:33:24.120 But this new health feature you can really think of 1:33:24.479 --> 1:33:25.519 as a vault. 1:33:26.040 --> 1:33:29.920 So the information that you're putting in and potentially connecting, 1:33:30.200 --> 1:33:34.160 like your medical records, like your fitness trackers, they're staying 1:33:34.360 --> 1:33:38.479 within that vault and not going anywhere. It's not going 1:33:38.560 --> 1:33:42.759 to open AI, it's not being used to train models. 1:33:42.960 --> 1:33:44.320 It's really there for you. 1:33:44.720 --> 1:33:45.839 And you alone. 1:33:46.760 --> 1:33:48.680 So let's back up a little bit and just kind 1:33:48.680 --> 1:33:50.760 of what was the inspiration for this. I mean, you 1:33:50.840 --> 1:33:53.559 guys know that people are already asking chatchubt all kinds 1:33:53.560 --> 1:33:56.960 of health questions. What are people using chat eibt for 1:33:57.040 --> 1:33:58.439 when it comes to health already? 1:33:59.360 --> 1:34:02.559 Yeah, so we see that forty million people a day 1:34:02.760 --> 1:34:06.400 turn to chat ubt for health and wellness questions, which 1:34:06.479 --> 1:34:11.200 is really incredible. And here we're trying to build towards 1:34:11.320 --> 1:34:15.559 the demand and use cases that people are already showing 1:34:15.680 --> 1:34:17.560 us that they want to use the product for and 1:34:17.720 --> 1:34:21.120 are using it for. The three biggest cases that we 1:34:21.360 --> 1:34:25.639 see are one, people using chat to help them prepare 1:34:25.760 --> 1:34:30.040 for their clinician appointments, for their doctor's appointments, so we 1:34:30.120 --> 1:34:33.759 all know that time with our doctor can be limited 1:34:33.840 --> 1:34:38.439 and precious, and for folks navigating serious diagnoses, but also 1:34:38.600 --> 1:34:41.439 just for people who are trying to better understand their 1:34:41.520 --> 1:34:46.120 lab results and be their healthy at self, Chat can 1:34:46.280 --> 1:34:49.040 really really help you take advantage of the limited time. 1:34:48.880 --> 1:34:50.479 That you have with your doctor. 1:34:51.240 --> 1:34:54.400 The second place we see people really leaning on Chat 1:34:54.880 --> 1:34:59.120 is helping navigate insurance and benefits. And then finally a 1:34:59.200 --> 1:35:02.799 lot of people are turning to Chat for general wellness. 1:35:03.080 --> 1:35:05.360 So you spoke about using this to kind of prepare 1:35:05.400 --> 1:35:08.800 for the doctor and for diagnosis. You've spoken publicly about 1:35:08.880 --> 1:35:12.800 using AI during your own cancer diagnosis, So what did 1:35:12.840 --> 1:35:14.880 it help you understand better about that? 1:35:16.520 --> 1:35:20.760 Yeah, so last year, a month into my new job 1:35:20.920 --> 1:35:24.639 at open AI, I was diagnosed with a pretty serious 1:35:25.080 --> 1:35:31.240 breast cancer. And thankfully I'm totally cancer free and healthy now, 1:35:31.840 --> 1:35:35.920 but at the time that was an extremely overwhelming experience. 1:35:36.120 --> 1:35:39.519 I'm the mom of two very young children, three and 1:35:39.720 --> 1:35:43.840 six at the time of my diagnosis, and while I 1:35:43.960 --> 1:35:49.200 worked with an absolutely amazing team of doctors, they were 1:35:49.280 --> 1:35:53.320 specialists across a really wide range of medical specialties, from 1:35:53.880 --> 1:36:00.360 oncology to surgeons to radiologist, and frankly, I used CHAT 1:36:00.640 --> 1:36:04.240 to do things like really help me understand coming into 1:36:04.560 --> 1:36:10.240 appointments with my specialists, what were the different options being proposed, 1:36:10.439 --> 1:36:13.040 What did the clinical literature that they were kind of 1:36:13.160 --> 1:36:15.600 pointing me to really mean in terms that. 1:36:15.680 --> 1:36:16.760 I could understand. 1:36:17.800 --> 1:36:20.080 What were the most important questions for me to be 1:36:20.360 --> 1:36:23.479 asking them, As I mentioned a lot of people do. 1:36:24.080 --> 1:36:27.360 I also used it to help me get. 1:36:27.680 --> 1:36:31.960 My care covered and navigate my insurance, and then I 1:36:32.080 --> 1:36:35.160 use it for everyday things like identifying, you know, if 1:36:35.200 --> 1:36:39.200 a renny nose was a symptom of my cancer treatment 1:36:39.360 --> 1:36:40.840 or just you know, a cold. 1:36:41.040 --> 1:36:43.480 Is this something that I, you know, other people experienced 1:36:43.600 --> 1:36:43.800 or not. 1:36:45.240 --> 1:36:47.439 How to talk to my three year old about what 1:36:47.680 --> 1:36:51.799 was going on in an age appropriate way, identify children's 1:36:51.800 --> 1:36:53.000 books I could read him. 1:36:53.479 --> 1:36:57.280 Really the wide range of use cases that I relied 1:36:57.360 --> 1:36:58.400 on through my treatment. 1:36:59.240 --> 1:37:01.360 Kate, thanks for daring that story. I know that's a lot, 1:37:01.520 --> 1:37:05.280 and I really appreciate you doing that, and I'm glad 1:37:05.320 --> 1:37:07.320 you're doing better, So thank you for that. Thank you. 1:37:08.160 --> 1:37:12.680 Where does CHATCHIBT get its knowledge of health? And how 1:37:13.600 --> 1:37:15.400 how well can we trust that knowledge? 1:37:16.000 --> 1:37:16.160 You know? 1:37:16.479 --> 1:37:21.320 Yeah, chatg EPT is trained with a huge variety of sources, 1:37:22.320 --> 1:37:26.320 including peer reviewed medical literature. 1:37:26.640 --> 1:37:28.679 It's also designed by. 1:37:30.280 --> 1:37:33.800 In partnership with clinicians and doctors around the world, so 1:37:34.320 --> 1:37:38.839 we fine tune the responses that chat GPT gives based 1:37:38.880 --> 1:37:43.840 on feedback and advice from many medical professionals, and we 1:37:43.960 --> 1:37:50.160 hold ourselves accountable for accuracy on benchmarks. It's kind of pest, 1:37:50.320 --> 1:37:53.320 if you will, of the of the underlying technology that 1:37:53.800 --> 1:37:58.439 doctors and clinicians and scientists help design. So we have 1:37:58.600 --> 1:38:02.599 one called health bench, which is really in the industry's standard, 1:38:03.080 --> 1:38:07.320 and you've seen that even from a baseline of high accuracy, 1:38:08.000 --> 1:38:12.360 the models and technology powering chatch ebt has had an 1:38:12.400 --> 1:38:15.040 eightfold increase in accuracy. 1:38:16.200 --> 1:38:17.960 Over the past year or so. 1:38:18.320 --> 1:38:22.679 So we also really design the responses to make sure 1:38:22.800 --> 1:38:28.160 that we are directing people to medical professionals at the 1:38:28.240 --> 1:38:30.840 appropriate time in their line of questioning. 1:38:31.479 --> 1:38:33.240 So along those lines, I know we've heard a lot 1:38:33.280 --> 1:38:37.400 about mental health with these chatbots, this specific chatch ebt 1:38:37.600 --> 1:38:40.559 health is not really associated with that aspect of things. 1:38:40.600 --> 1:38:42.840 And also, how are you working to make sure that 1:38:42.960 --> 1:38:45.720 people with mental health issues, you know, get the help 1:38:45.760 --> 1:38:46.680 they need when they need it. 1:38:46.800 --> 1:38:50.360 Like you just said, absolutely right that this experience is 1:38:50.560 --> 1:38:55.640 designed for you know, kind of physical, physical health and 1:38:55.720 --> 1:39:00.280 wellness and not specific to mental health.

But let 1:42:31.920 --> 1:42:36.000 me get to the feedbag. Let's open it up. Jeff 1:42:36.160 --> 1:42:39.200 from Frisco, Texas, listening on the podcast, says, Hey, Rich, 1:42:39.280 --> 1:42:41.320 you joked about being passed out in a ditch in 1:42:41.400 --> 1:42:44.439 Tokyo and how anyone would know who you are. Here's 1:42:44.479 --> 1:42:46.760 what I do. I create a Google doc with my 1:42:46.880 --> 1:42:49.360 basic info and share it with anyone with the link. 1:42:49.920 --> 1:42:51.760 Then I make a QR code that points to that 1:42:51.880 --> 1:42:54.560 document and I print it out for my wallet. You 1:42:54.600 --> 1:42:56.840 can also save the QR code as your phone's lock 1:42:56.880 --> 1:42:59.280 screen image, and if anything changes, you just update the 1:42:59.360 --> 1:43:01.680 document and the QR code still works. It's great for 1:43:01.720 --> 1:43:04.439 anyone who scans it. They can see your info instantly. 1:43:05.240 --> 1:43:08.679 That's a that's yeah, it's that's one solution for sure, Jeff. 1:43:09.560 --> 1:43:11.840 I may look into that. There's a little bracelet that 1:43:11.960 --> 1:43:14.320 you can get also like an emergency risk bracelet, but 1:43:14.479 --> 1:43:19.160 this is a more high tech version. Ross in Canada says, 1:43:19.200 --> 1:43:21.760 I heard you talking about using AI on the show, 1:43:22.120 --> 1:43:23.720 and I wanted to share how I've been using it. 1:43:24.000 --> 1:43:26.599 I love making short video clips with Sora, then stitching 1:43:26.640 --> 1:43:28.920 them together on TikTok. I've also used Gemini to create 1:43:28.960 --> 1:43:32.360 storybooks for my grandkids. Lately, I've been experimenting with music. 1:43:32.400 --> 1:43:34.439 I use Gemini to write song lyrics, then an app 1:43:34.520 --> 1:43:37.599 called Suno turns those words into songs. I even made 1:43:37.640 --> 1:43:40.280 one about you Rich on Tech. I've been using chatch 1:43:40.320 --> 1:43:43.360 ebt to build playlists in Apple Music.

You 1:44:58.840 --> 1:45:01.840 can also go into settings and then System and then 1:45:01.880 --> 1:45:04.400 about and it'll say Windows ten or eleven right there. 1:45:05.680 --> 1:45:09.559 Gennaro says Rich, that good Sun story really hit home. 1:45:10.080 --> 1:45:12.559 It highlights a bigger issue for seniors like me. We're 1:45:12.560 --> 1:45:14.639 getting locked out of everyday life because we're not tech 1:45:14.680 --> 1:45:17.559 savvy enough. Grocery stores give you better price if you're digital. 1:45:17.960 --> 1:45:20.120 I just found out to use Uber. Oh you know, 1:45:20.240 --> 1:45:24.080 I think I read this one before. So anyway, well, Gennaro, 1:45:24.240 --> 1:45:27.200 thank you for sending that. Even though looks like I 1:45:27.280 --> 1:45:28.880 read it. Maybe I read it live on the show 1:45:28.920 --> 1:45:32.840 last week, so I'm recalling that. Wendy and Irvine says, Rich, 1:45:32.880 --> 1:45:34.479 have you ever help? If you ever feel like helping 1:45:34.520 --> 1:45:37.000 someone else untangle their tech stuff, please let us know. 1:45:37.439 --> 1:45:39.880 We're much closer than New Jersey since we live right 1:45:40.000 --> 1:45:43.759 in California. Love your newsletter, radio show and TV segments. 1:45:43.800 --> 1:45:49.000 Take care, you know. I don't do tech support visits 1:45:49.080 --> 1:45:51.479 at home, but you know, maybe if this radio thing 1:45:51.520 --> 1:45:55.400 doesn't work out, maybe I'll do that. But in all seriousness, yes, 1:45:55.520 --> 1:45:57.880 that was referring to my newsletter last week with my 1:45:58.000 --> 1:45:59.920 dad and talking about all the stuff that he went 1:46:00.080 --> 1:46:02.560 through and I upgraded at his house. So yes, I 1:46:02.680 --> 1:46:04.760 do love to help people with their technology in real 1:46:04.840 --> 1:46:09.800 life too. Bob and Charlotte along the same Along the 1:46:09.840 --> 1:46:12.040 same lines, Rich, bless you you're a good son and 1:46:12.120 --> 1:46:15.160 happy y two K plus twenty six from a fix 1:46:15.240 --> 1:46:19.160 it senior citizen and dad. When tech is complicated but intuitive, 1:46:19.240 --> 1:46:22.719 that's okay. Otherwise not so much. Wishing you many Ota 1:46:22.920 --> 1:46:26.960 broadcast hours seventy three. What's seventy three mean? Is that 1:46:27.080 --> 1:46:30.920 his age? Okay? Thank you, Bob. Joanne says, Hey Rich, 1:46:31.000 --> 1:46:34.080 I've started using Costco to reserve my car rentals. It 1:46:34.200 --> 1:46:36.200 might be a false sense of security, but if something 1:46:36.280 --> 1:46:38.519 goes wrong, I feel like I have more leverage with 1:46:38.640 --> 1:46:41.559 Costco behind me. On top of that, the rates usually 1:46:41.640 --> 1:46:44.599 seem better through that behemoth. Thanks for all the helpful 1:46:44.640 --> 1:46:47.439 tech updates. Happy New Year, Joanne. I was inspired by 1:46:47.520 --> 1:46:49.960 you to actually use Costco from an ex car rental 1:46:50.000 --> 1:46:52.040 because you know, I ditched the company that rhymes with 1:46:52.160 --> 1:46:55.360 shirts because they did me wrong. So now I'm using 1:46:55.400 --> 1:46:57.720 whatever company is cheapest at Costco, and that's what I 1:46:57.840 --> 1:47:00.320 used to book my next rental. So I will follow 1:47:00.439 --> 1:47:02.840 up in a future show to tell you how that went. 1:47:04.600 --> 1:47:07.360 Claudia and Irvine says, Hey, Rich, I love Today's newsletter. 1:47:07.400 --> 1:47:09.800 Before moving to California in the sixties, I grew up 1:47:09.800 --> 1:47:13.400 in Massapequa on Long Island. Fun side note, I lived 1:47:13.439 --> 1:47:16.000 next door to Neil Diamond and even baby sat his 1:47:16.200 --> 1:47:19.880 infant daughter Marjorie. That was right when he was starting 1:47:19.920 --> 1:47:22.920 out and releasing songs like Solitary Man and Cherry Cherry. 1:47:23.439 --> 1:47:26.439 I tried your CHATCHYBT photo restoration prompt on a couple 1:47:26.520 --> 1:47:29.200 pictures from that time and they turned out great. I 1:47:29.320 --> 1:47:31.280 still love the black and white versions, but it was 1:47:31.400 --> 1:47:34.800 really fun to see them restored in color. Thanks again. 1:47:35.320 --> 1:47:37.479 Oh that's such a cool story. Wow. I love that 1:47:37.600 --> 1:47:41.000 you live next door to Neil Diamond. Wow. That's quite 1:47:41.040 --> 1:47:43.640 the story to tell your friends. Huh. All right, we 1:47:43.720 --> 1:47:46.960 got a scam warning up next from John. I consider 1:47:47.040 --> 1:47:50.080 myself pretty tech savvy, but I still got scammed. I 1:47:50.160 --> 1:47:51.960 was looking for a puppy for the holidays, and I 1:47:52.000 --> 1:47:54.240 thought I bought one from a website that looked legit. 1:47:54.800 --> 1:47:57.240 After emails and phone calls, I sent six hundred and 1:47:57.360 --> 1:48:00.040 sixty dollars through Venmo and then guess what happened and 1:48:00.600 --> 1:48:03.599 the person disappeared. Venmo basically told me there's nothing they 1:48:03.640 --> 1:48:06.320 can do, even though their account was active. I reported 1:48:06.320 --> 1:48:08.439 it to the FTC and wanted to warn you and 1:48:08.560 --> 1:48:11.479 your audience. Thank you, John, I'm sorry this happened to you, 1:48:11.840 --> 1:48:14.800 but the puppy scam is going around a lot, and 1:48:15.120 --> 1:48:18.040 I actually did a story on this on TV. Might 1:48:18.080 --> 1:48:20.760 have been last year, even the year before. But yeah, 1:48:20.800 --> 1:48:22.720 the big issue with those cash apps like Venmo is 1:48:22.760 --> 1:48:25.439 that once you send the money, it is really tough 1:48:25.479 --> 1:48:28.800 to get back. You might in some cases, but it's 1:48:28.920 --> 1:48:31.839 like cash. And they warn you that A great resource 1:48:31.920 --> 1:48:34.800 for checking out scams and reporting them and researching them 1:48:35.200 --> 1:48:38.840 is the Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker BBB Scam Tracker. 1:48:39.040 --> 1:48:42.559 Look it up. Stephanie says, hey, Rich, Happy New Year. 1:48:42.600 --> 1:48:45.559 I used an app. I used an app to convert 1:48:45.600 --> 1:48:47.960 all my live photos into standard photos. Now it looks 1:48:48.000 --> 1:48:50.759 like I lost about seven hundred captions. Is that really possible? 1:48:50.840 --> 1:48:55.080 Big fan of the show, That could be possible if 1:48:55.120 --> 1:48:57.639 you convert those photos. I'm not sure those captions would 1:48:57.720 --> 1:49:03.800 stay with those pictures. But my advice here, always test 1:49:04.000 --> 1:49:06.519 if you're gonna do something big, Always test the change 1:49:06.560 --> 1:49:09.120 on a handful of something before applying it to your 1:49:09.240 --> 1:49:11.120 entire library, because you could make a change that you 1:49:11.160 --> 1:49:14.240 will never recover from and also have backups. Because that 1:49:14.439 --> 1:49:16.400 is a bummer. I am so sorry that happened to you. 1:49:17.000 --> 1:49:19.519 All right, that is gonna do it for this week's show. 1:49:19.640 --> 1:49:23.120 I cannot believe it went this fast. I just love 1:49:23.200 --> 1:49:26.280 how this show. I'm sad that it flies by this fast, 1:49:26.320 --> 1:49:28.120 but it's also a testament to how much fun I 1:49:28.200 --> 1:49:31.640 have doing this. Thanks for listening to this episode.
