Speaker 1: happy to say that as of right now, we have

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: Let me just make sure before I say that, I

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: believe we are one hundred percent. Yes, we are one

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: hundred percent five star reviews. So we've got a bunch

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: of people that have reviewed this thing and they all

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: say five stars. So five point zero five out of five.

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: That means you like what I'm doing. I love to

Speaker 1: iPhone or through iTunes. It doesn't have to be long.

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: You can just do short and sweet. You know, I

28

Speaker 1: like the show, I like what you're doing. Just let

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: me know because that way I keep doing it. You know,

30
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: it gives me fuel for the fire here. Thanks so

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: much to everyone watching on the live broadcast, and I'm

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk to you guys as well. You can join

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: the conversation. I'm gonna have a phone number in just

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: a moment that you can call in. And so think

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: about it. Think about what's vexing you in your life.

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: What's happening in your life that you need to talk

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: to someone about technology, whether it is your WiFi that

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: doesn't work, whether it's something on your phone you're getting

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: double notifications or double text messages, or you can't find

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: the app that you need to do something. This is

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: my life. This is what I talk about every day.

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm studying this stuff, and believe me, I've got a

43
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: lot of stuff to share with you guys. Let's just

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: start with Facebook, because I know it's on a lot

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: of your minds and the privacy concerns. I was on

46
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: a Serious satellite radio yesterday and for those of you

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: who listen, thank you. It was a really cool It

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: was my first time on Sirious and it was really cool.

49
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: But we got into this really interesting conversation about Facebook

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: and privacy, and to me, I just always assume that

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: everyone assumed they were not private on Facebook. No matter

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: what you exchanged on Facebook, some kind of computer or

53
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: server or artificial intelligence is analyzing and scanning what you

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: look at, or well what you look at, as well

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: as what you're typing, what you're browsing, anything you do

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: on there. I don't think people realize just to the

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: extent that Facebook can also monitor things that are outside

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: of Facebook. So when you go to a separate website

59
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: and it has some Facebook functionality built into it, Facebook

60
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: can also see what you do at that website, and

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: that's something that's called the Facebook pixel. A lot of

62
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: websites have it installed, and what it does is when

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: you go to a third party website, any random website,

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: and it has this Facebook pixel installed, it's basically sending

65
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: back information about your visit to Facebook so that they

66
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: can connect the two lines. So they know that rich

67
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: DeMuro visited this belt website that I really like. I

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: like these certain type of belts, and I go to

69
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: that website and now that belt website goes, ooh, did

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: he came to our website but he didn't buy anything?

71
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: So let's go back to his Facebook page and let's

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: put a little ad there for five percent off his

73
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: next purchase at our belt company. Yes, if you're a marketer,

74
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: that's brilliant, because now I go back to my Facebook

75
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: page the next day and I go, oh, that was

76
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: the belt I was looking at. Let me oh oh,

77
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: and I get ten percent off. That's cool, let me

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: buy it now. And now they just converted that sale.

79
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: So a lot of this does have to do with

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: making sales, selling you stuff, merchandising, marketing. It is scary

81
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: that they can track you this closely, but the reality

82
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: is this has been going on in our lives in

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: so many different ways. It's just that Facebook has gotten

84
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: really good at doing it. And I haven't even gotten

85
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: into the other web companies like Google. They're the major platforms,

86
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: and so these are the companies that are doing it best.

87
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: And the reality is people have always been tracking us,

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: and technology has been out there to do that. Your bank,

89
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: your credit card. If you don't think your credit card

90
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: is slicing and dicing the information of where you're shopping

91
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: and how you're spending your money and all that kind

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: of stuff, I mean, you're kind of fooling yourself because

93
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: it's all meant to sell you more stuff. I mean,

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: these are the kind of things that these companies do

95
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: and it's not a bad thing. It really isn't. It's

96
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: bad for your wallet, and if you listen to the

97
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Daily podcast, I've explained this before, it's bad for your

98
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: wallet because the better they get at marketing us stuff,

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: the more we are spending money. And in that aspect

100
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: it's bad. But in other aspects it's actually not bad

101
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: at all. So when you think about it, if you

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: use Facebook Messenger to message someone, and I just never

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: assume that those messages were private. Now, I don't think

104
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: Facebook would ever put those messages in a public forum,

105
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: like They're not going to share what I'm saying to

106
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: my friends on the cover of the New York Times.

107
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: That's not the way I imagine the privacy is when

108
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: I think privacy, I think that it's private, but a

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: server is reading and consuming that message to figure out

110
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: is he talking about going to Tahiti? All right, Let's

111
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: send him a Facebook ad about Tahiti because he talked

112
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: about that with his friend and Facebook Messenger. To me,

113
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: that was just logical. It makes sense. Why would Facebook

114
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Messenger offer a free service like that without something in return?

115
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: And if you say, well, why do they have to

116
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: track me? Why can't they just put ads on there

117
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: that aren't linked to me, Well they don't work. If

118
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: they show me an ad for Greece and I don't

119
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: have any idea about wanting to go to Greece, then

120
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: that person that's buying that Greek ad or that Grease

121
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: ad is just wasting money because I'm not going to

122
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: go there. I have nothing against Greece. I'm just using

123
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: that as an example. So anyway, there you go. I'm

124
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: just trying to explain a little bit more as to

125
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: what these companies are doing. And if you're searching on Google,

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. They're creating a profile of you.

127
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: And a lot of these companies are quick to say

128
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 1: they don't sell your data they're not selling your data,

129
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: but they are using your data so that marketers can

130
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: market to you. So if I'm a person that wants

131
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: to sell something on Facebook, I don't get a list

132
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: of everyone that likes my company. Maybe you can get that, perhaps,

133
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: but the reality is all I want is a list

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: of let's say I'm selling, Let's see what do we

135
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: want to sell. Let's say I want to sell. Let's

136
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: see what can I sell a new type of a candle. Okay,

137
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: so let's say I want a list of everyone on

138
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: Facebook who has expressed interest in going out to nice

139
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: dinners or fun little handmade items around their house, or

140
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: they're into their home, or they're into maybe even gardening,

141
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: because gardening might lead me to believe that you like

142
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: a nice candlelight dinner. So now I'm gonna try to

143
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: get I'm not going to get a list of all

144
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: those people. But Facebook says, hey, we're gonna send to

145
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: all those people your ad for those candles because they

146
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: seem like they're interested in that kind of stuff. And

147
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: the more you do on Facebook, the more they can

148
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: build that profile of you. So anyway, that's I agree,

149
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: And Angie says, I feel like we already knew this,

150
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: and that's kind of like what I feel like. I mean,

151
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: who didn't know this? Carlin says exactly, nothing is free,

152
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: and Claudia says, definitely tracking our every step. Unfortunately I

153
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: did not know anything anyone that isn't. Yeah, I mean

154
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Let's see what else do we have

155
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: any Manny says, very very true. So anyway, that's it.

156
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just giving you guys ideas so that

157
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: you know what's happening. Phone lines are open, area code

158
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: three one zero five nine four three zero zero three.

159
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Jumiro. You're listening to Rich on tech Live.

160
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: And if you have a question, you've got something on

161
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: your mind about technology, call in. You can talk to me.

162
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk you through it. What else is happening in

163
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: the news. I'll talk about more Facebook in a little bit.

164
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's let Facebook breathe for a moment, but let's

165
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: talk about something that is How about my next favorite topic, Apple?

166
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: So Apple, you know, we talked about the HomePod on

167
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: this podcast, and apparently the HomePod is not doing so well.

168
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: Bloomberg out with a story that apple stumbling HomePod isn't

169
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: the hot cellar it wanted. This is from Mark German.

170
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: He is literally the Apple the Apple expert he is.

171
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: This guy clearly has a lot of friends at Apple

172
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: because he's always getting a scoop from them. And basically

173
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: a couple of things that they're saying about the HomePod

174
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: is that, you know, Apple was all about the quality

175
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: of this device, and it does. It sounds great, but

176
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: the problem is consumers didn't really necessarily care about the

177
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: quality of the device. And that's a problem because realistically,

178
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: when you think about the HomePod, the only thing that

179
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: it works with is the Apple Music and that's just

180
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: not enough for this thing to take off. Apparently, in

181
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: its first ten weeks of sale, it only got ten

182
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: percent of the smart speaker market, seventy three percent for

183
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: Google or Amazon Echo, fourteen percent for Google Home. And

184
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: those numbers are not from Apple or anyone that's from

185
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: a third party, so we don't know how accurate they are.

186
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: But the reality is most people are not out buying

187
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: HomePods right now. It's too expensive. It only works with

188
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: Apple Music. If you're an Apple ecosystem fanatic, then it's

189
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: a great buy. Otherwise, if you're into Spotify or anything else,

190
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: it's a really tough buy. All right, let's go to

191
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: the phone line. We've got five six to two on.

192
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: We've got five six two you're on with Rich. Hello.

193
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: Who am I speaking with?

194
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: Hey?

195
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: Rich is David Hughes out of lake Wood.

196
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: Hey, David, how are you doing?

197
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: I'm doing good? Thank you?

198
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: How's the good morning? How's the show? How's the show looking?

199
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: Today's everything technically? Okay?

200
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 2: Yes?

201
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got it up on the Facebook live page.

202
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,599
Speaker 3: I'm streaming good audio problems.

203
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: Beautiful, just making sure? All right? What can I help

204
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: you with today?

205
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: Hey?

206
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: So two questions for you. First one is the Samsung

207
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: S nine phone. When are they gonna be coming out

208
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 3: with S ten phone? And should I wait for that?

209
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: I would not wait for the S ten because the

210
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: S nine just came out. I mean you're talking. What

211
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: was it March March fourteenth? I think it went on sale.

212
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: So it just went on sale. We're we're in April,

213
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: so it's only a month old. Everything about the S

214
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: nine I think they did a really nice job with

215
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: So what do you have right now? I want to say, okay,

216
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: sir on a seven? So I think when you the

217
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: seven was a really nice upgrade from the six because

218
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the six had a lot of battery problems. I think

219
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: the seven was a nice smoothing out of all those problems.

220
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: The seven, the thing I like about it is it

221
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: still has the fingerprint reader on the front right, so

222
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: it's a good position underneath the screen. The eight they

223
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: really messed up on because they put the fingerprint reader

224
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: on the back, but they put it in a really

225
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: bad position. So I'm glad you skipped the eight. The

226
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: nine they actually put the fingerprint reader in the right position,

227
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: and I would say when it comes to a Samsung device,

228
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: this is about as perfect as it gets. The only

229
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: thing I could see improvement for at this point on

230
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: the Samsung device is some software improvements. Although I think

231
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: the software has gotten really good. It's really just maybe

232
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: the front facing camera and that's it. I've seen some

233
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: stumbles in the software when it comes to the smoothness

234
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: of it. But I really think the S nine is

235
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: probably the perfect Android phone at this point. Unless you're

236
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: looking at their devices. What's the most important thing you're

237
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: looking for and you're Android.

238
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 3: Well, I use it a lot for work, so just

239
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: reliability for performance, you know, I came from originally with

240
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: a motorola and it crashed ONMMI and then I jumped

241
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: to the five, and then I went to the five

242
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 3: to the seven, so I jumped versions. So ever since

243
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 3: I had the five, I really liked it. I've been

244
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: sticking with it since then.

245
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: The only other phone that I would recommend you take

246
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: a look at is, uh, the one Plus. Have you

247
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: heard of this one?

248
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: Yes?

249
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: So the reason I like the one Plus is because

250
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: it really does a nice job with their phone. It's

251
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: five hundred bucks, it's a beautifully designed phone, it's got

252
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: a great screen, it's got a it's got a good camera.

253
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's the best camera in the world,

254
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: but it's gonna it's gonna be a capable camera, and

255
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: you really don't you The software is just unbelievable. So

256
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: that's really where this kind of I think is ahead

257
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: of the Samsung. The Samsung there's a lot of there's

258
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff on there, but there's a lot

259
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: of extra up on there sometimes that you don't necessarily need,

260
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: whereas the one Plus has a lot of nice software features,

261
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: but it's not a lot of stuff that you don't need.

262
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: So I would take a look at that and otherwise

263
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: the pixel the Pixel two I really like as well,

264
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: except I think the pixel too xcel is a little

265
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: bit too big, and I think the Pixel two is

266
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: a little bit too small. And you also kind of

267
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: lose a lot of features on the pixel like wireless charging,

268
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: the extra storage capacity, so things like that. So I like,

269
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: and the screen is better on the S nine. So

270
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: you said you had two questions. What's the second question.

271
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the other one's always about Wi Fi ringty.

272
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: Once again, we always have Wi Fi issues and they

273
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: get an extend an only sends in one room gaming

274
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: and we have an extender if he's not getting strong

275
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: enough signal, So we're looking to do something else to

276
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: get our signal boosted on.

277
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: Our Wi Fi.

278
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: Well, the one thing I recommend is it's a system

279
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: called EO E E R O. If you've listened to

280
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: the podcast, you've definitely heard me talk about it. The

281
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: thing about EO is it's unbelievable. I mean I recommended

282
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: it to a cowork the other day and he bought

283
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: it immediately, and it was shipped to his house through

284
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: Amazon immediately, and he just couldn't believe how good it was.

285
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: And this this is really, if you want the best

286
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: WiFi in your house, Ero is the way to go.

287
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: The only downside to it is twofold. It's a startup,

288
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: so it could go out of business, but I don't

289
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: anticipate that. I think that a company would at least

290
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: buy the technology from them because it's so good and

291
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: they kind of they kind of they invented this technology.

292
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: So it's four hundred dollars for a starter system or

293
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: I guess the best selling system. You can get it

294
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: as cheap as two ninety nine, let's see, and then

295
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: you can get little individual ones for one fifty. But

296
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: I would say check out euro that's gonna be your

297
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: absolute best case scenario. Then the other one that's good

298
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: is Netgear ORB. So people really like that one. I

299
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: have not tested it personally, but it's a it's a

300
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: very popular system. It comes from Netgear, which is a

301
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: big networking company. That one's good, and then the other

302
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: one to look at is Google Wi Fi, which a

303
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: lot of people like as well. The problem with Google

304
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: Wi Fi is that Google is very haphazard in kind

305
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: of their continuing projects. So this is a great product,

306
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: but Google kind of is all over the place when

307
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: it comes to support in the long term, so they

308
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: may stop making this, they may forget about it. But

309
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: this one is really good as well. So those are

310
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: the three I recommend taking a look at, but don't

311
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: go with a booster or extender anymore. I don't recommend

312
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: those because they just don't work for today's systems and

313
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: today's gadgets. We're much more. We've moved past those those

314
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: types of systems. Now there's just a lot more stress

315
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: on what we need.

316
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: Okay, great, Thank you very much for great David.

317
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for calling in appreciate it. Thanks for

318
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: calling the show. Phone lines are open if you'd like

319
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: to get in. The phone number is three one zero

320
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: five nine four three zero zero three. Now's a good

321
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: time to tell you about my favorite case. I've been

322
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: buying this case for every phone that I ever use.

323
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: I just love this case. So I'm telling you guys

324
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: about it. Not sponsored. This is just one of the

325
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: I just love this case, and I've purchased it for

326
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: a couple of the phones I use regularly, and I

327
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: just got this one. This is basically it's called the

328
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: Spec Presidio Grip, and I just love the way this

329
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: case fits on your phone. There's a on the iPhone ten.

330
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: It's super grippy. You just can't It's just amazing the

331
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: way it fits onto your phone. It doesn't make your

332
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: phone too big. And the grips. You've got these little

333
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: grips on the edges that literally make you never drop

334
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: your phone ever. So I love that aspect of it. Spec.

335
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: I can, you know, I forgot, I keep forgetting that

336
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: I could actually comment on these things. So let me

337
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: let me put this in the comments so you guys

338
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: can actually see what I'm talking about. But that's the

339
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Spec Presidio grip. I don't think that you can click

340
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: on it from you can click on it from there,

341
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, that's a really nice case, so I

342
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: highly recommend that. And JT says, does the case come

343
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: in clear? I, you know, I don't know. I don't

344
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: know if it comes in the grip. I think it

345
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: just comes in colors in the grip. But they have

346
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: Spec Presidio without the grip. But I think that if

347
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna go with the Spec Presidio, you gotta get

348
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: the grip. And Angie says she got one for my

349
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: S nine. It's sleek. I haven't dropped it once and

350
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: that that's really nice. All right, let's go to the

351
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: phone lines. Uh eight, let's see what was this? Eight

352
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: oh one? You're on with Ritch? Who am I speaking with?

353
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 4: Hey, Rich, this is Steve. How are you doing?

354
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: Oh? I'm doing fantastic, Steve. It's a Saturday.

355
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 4: Oh yes, tell me what dun Fox thirteen all the time.

356
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: And then I travel to California for work and see

357
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 4: you on KTLA.

358
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh, it's so funny. So Fox thirteen Salt Lake City.

359
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: That's a great station. And it's funny when people travel

360
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: because most people we don't make a big deal of

361
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm on a bunch of different stations.

362
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: So people can be watching on KTLA and have no idea.

363
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: But then they travel to other cities and they're like,

364
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: oh is my hotel room and I saw you, So

365
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: thanks for watching on Fox thirteen. That's pretty cool. I

366
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: love Carry and Dan over there. What's going on?

367
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 4: You know? I'm curious and maybe this is just wishful thinking,

368
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: but do you ever see the headphone jack coming back

369
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: to the iPhone?

370
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

371
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: That is wishful thinking, don't I don't see that happening.

372
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I mean, we have to look at

373
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: Apple's past. So Apple has a history of getting rid

374
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: of things on their devices and being the first to

375
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: get rid of them and never looking back. So when

376
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: you think about I think the DVD player was probably

377
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: the first thing that they got rid of on the

378
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: MacBook and literally people went nuts, myself included I'm like,

379
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: how could you live without a DVD player or a

380
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: DVD burner or a DVD recorder whatever? And to me,

381
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: that was just insane. You remember that, right? And the

382
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: other thing, the other thing Apple never did on their laptops.

383
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Everyone went to a Blu ray player on their laptops

384
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: and Apple said, no, we're not doing that, and everyone

385
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: was like, wait, are you crazy? How could you not

386
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: Blu rays the next generation? But Apple has their reasons

387
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: for things and the reason why they ditched the DVD players.

388
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: They wanted to push everyone to digital movies. They wanted

389
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: to create less piracy. They also saw people burning DVDs

390
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: less I'm sure their data showed that, or sharing DVDs

391
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. They just knew that they could

392
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: do without those and people would be fine. And I

393
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: actually bought the external I have it somewhere in here

394
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: my h.

395
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got an external with the Blu ray burner

396
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 4: that I love you thing.

397
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got my Trustee external you know, Mac computer

398
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: Player Blue DVD. I think this is a burner too.

399
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is. Haven't used it in a while,

400
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: but you know, I bought one of those, so I

401
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: had to have the external because you know, it's like,

402
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: how can I do without it? And now we just

403
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: realized we don't really think about DVDs as much as

404
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: we used to do. There's still a place for them,

405
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: but we just don't use them as much as we did.

406
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: Then we had USB ports. They kind of let made

407
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: less of those, and they started even on this new

408
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 1: MacBook I have, I have only USBC and they got

409
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: rid of my SD card slot, which I was also

410
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: angry about. So Apple just has a history of doing

411
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: this and they like to streamline their products. When you

412
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: look at their products, there's not much going on now.

413
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: The interesting thing is that the new iPad that just

414
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: came out does have a headphone jack, so they have

415
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: not ditched it on the iPad, So I think when

416
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: they think about the use case on the iPad, they're thinking, Okay, well,

417
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: people are watching a lot of movies on there. Maybe

418
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: not everyone has a pair of Bluetooth headphones, so it's

419
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: interesting that they're doing two different things. But on the

420
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: iPad there's also more space inside for components, and Apple

421
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: has always argued that on the iPhone, they're trying to

422
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: maximize the space inside for other stuff and that's why

423
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: they got rid of the headphone jack.

424
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, or what were you gonna have?

425
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: Oh?

426
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, why do you want the

427
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: headphone jack back? Because I've kind of gotten used to

428
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: not having it. But I do still like it myself

429
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: as well, because I like being able to have that

430
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: default of my headphones aren't charged or I just you know,

431
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: sometimes you're on a plane, you don't feel like dealing

432
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: with all the stuff. You just want to plug in,

433
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: you know.

434
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm still clinging to my iPhone SIXSS actually,

435
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 4: but so I haven't dealt with that. But my wife

436
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 4: teaches a lot of fitness classes and she says it's

437
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 4: such a pain dealing with a dong dole and everything else.

438
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I always I always see that in

439
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: the fitness classes I go to that they literally have

440
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: like the iPhone with like, you know, ten different things

441
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: because they've got to charge it at the same time

442
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: as the you know, you got to get a connector

443
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: you know that has like to both. It's such a pain.

444
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, it reminds me of driving in my

445
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 4: dad's Cadillac with an A track player and having an

446
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 4: a track to cassette converter and then a cassette to

447
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 4: CD converter.

448
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, wow. Well, I remember there was a

449
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: point that's a little bit before my time, but there

450
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: was a point when a cassette, a cassette to like

451
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: external like a three point five millimeters was like all

452
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: the rage, you know. And I remember when I wanted

453
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: to get serious satellite radio, I wanted a clean install

454
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: so I did not want to have to use the

455
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: cassette to three point five inch jack. So I spent

456
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: like the most money of my life at the time,

457
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: which I think was probably like two hundred dollars on

458
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: getting like a best buy installation where they went through

459
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: and they did the FM uh what was it FM

460
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: modulator where they installed it behind my radio. Oh, and

461
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: to me that was like living large at the time.

462
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: That was like the best I was like, this is unbelievable.

463
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: This is high tech and now, of course, you know,

464
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: you plug your iPhone and you're Android in it's like

465
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: just a world ahead of that, right, right.

466
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: So a lot of people talk about broadcast TV going

467
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 4: away as we see it and everything going to streaming.

468
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 4: I studied broadcast journalism when I was in college, which

469
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 4: was a little while back. But to me that seems

470
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 4: a little bit forward thinking. I don't see it happening

471
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 4: as quickly as some people say. I think physical media

472
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 4: is not dead yet, but I don't know I would

473
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: you have any insight into.

474
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: That specifically, what like what the future broadcast?

475
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, if we're really going to lose big network

476
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 4: seasons of TV and you're just it's just going to

477
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 4: go to all subscribe, like a lot of people are saying, oh,

478
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 4: Star Trek Discovery is the way of the future. And

479
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: then a lot of people really like Fox of the

480
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 4: Whorville because it's actually broadcast and it's free, right versus

481
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: a subscription based.

482
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's kind of weird because you're

483
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: you're you're you're speaking in terms of like our entire society.

484
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, It's like there used to be a time

485
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, the whole water cooler conversation, which is kind

486
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: of It's interesting when things bubble up to the level

487
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: of people all knowing about them. That's pretty rare these days,

488
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: like a big show Like remember when Cereal the podcast

489
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: was pretty big and everyone was talking about that, you know,

490
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: and it was really interesting that people were talking about

491
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: something that wasn't on a broadcast, and it wasn't It

492
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: was mass available, but it wasn't available in a mass way,

493
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it didn't air on broadcast.

494
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: So nowadays it's like these little things bubble up to

495
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: the top. I say, because there's so many things out there.

496
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: You ask anyone, Hey, what what shows are you watching,

497
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: and they can tell you five shows that you've never

498
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: heard of, and there's probably one show of overlap that

499
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: you have heard of. So do I think broadcast is

500
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: going away? I think over the long term, I think

501
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot of evolution, But I

502
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: don't think it's going away. I remember when TVO first

503
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: came out back in two thousand and everyone spelled doom

504
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: and gloom for everything when it came to TV. Now,

505
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: I think TVO changed the fabric of television but we

506
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: still have TV pretty much the same way that we

507
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: had it in two thousand, which is a show broadcast

508
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: on TV over the air, and yes, now it's available

509
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: in a million different on demand ways and on DVR,

510
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: but it's still broadcasts like Survivor. I don't think that's

511
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: still on anymore. Maybe it is, but that was the

512
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: first show that I DVRD back in the day on

513
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: my TVO, and I thought it was so crazy that

514
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: I could skip through the commercials, but I still watched

515
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: it pretty quick to the day that it aired because

516
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to be up to date on that show.

517
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: So I just think things are evolving in a in

518
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: a pretty rapid way. But I think we have a

519
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: pretty long runway before things change in where NBC, CBS, ABC,

520
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: nightly news those kind of things are gone. I don't

521
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: think that's happening right away, especially because news is still

522
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: one of the news in sports are still two of

523
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: the most most popular things that happen live. So but

524
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: shows shows, I think a lot of that has changed,

525
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, especially Netflix launching shows all at once,

526
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: that changed the game again. So it's it's really it's

527
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: really crazy when you think about what's happening and how

528
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: things will still continue to change.

529
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, my favorite ti Vo box that I had was

530
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 4: made by Samsung and it had a built in DVD

531
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 4: burner on it, so things.

532
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

533
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 4: I always hope that they would do a blu ray

534
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 4: burner and they never did.

535
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: That was the one I always wanted. I never got

536
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: that one, but that I had. Almost every Tvo accept

537
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: that model. I think that model was really expensive, like

538
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: cause I remember my first TV I paid eight hundred

539
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: dollars for and they they were pretty expensive throughout the years,

540
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: but they got cheap. They got really cheap after a while.

541
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: But I love the Tvo and the idea of burning

542
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: to DVD, you know what, Hold on, I'm wait a second.

543
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: I did have one that burned to DVD now that

544
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: I think about it, but it was not a Samsung.

545
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't think. Do they have another model that burned

546
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: to DVD. I don't remember, because I remember I actually

547
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: have a bunch of my I lived in Shreveport at

548
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: the time. I was a reporter there and I have

549
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of my air checks that I would offload

550
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: to the DVD for later. But the problem is the

551
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: way they formatted it to the DVD Like now, I

552
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: just have them all and I can't really rip them

553
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: because it's it's in like this weird format. I got

554
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: to look at those again. But I did have one

555
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: with a burner on it, but I just don't remember.

556
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: It was not Samsung. Maybe it was. It's been a while,

557
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: but yeah.

558
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,840

577
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: C Yes, it's been gosh four months since then.

578
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: And great show at NAP this year. Everything was eight

579
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh from Korea and it was spectacular and

580
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: doing all sorts of different video changes to video as

581
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: it's live for like sporting events and everything.

582
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting, like what amazing?

583
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: Amazing like sporting events. In the middle of a lie clip,

584
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: you can change the different view of the picture. Okay, yeah,

585
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: that type of thing, you know, like Intel, Intel was

586
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 2: doing where you're live and can change where you are

587
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: in the stadium.

588
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: That's always been kind of the dream of these sports

589
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: broadcasts is to kind of, you know, make it more

590
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: kind of user driven where they can do things. But

591
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of we've seen a lot of

592
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: things trying you know, we've seen a lot of companies

593
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: try to do that. I don't think anyone has sort

594
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: of mastered it yet, but definitely when that happens, that's

595
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: that's a huge market right there, because people, you know,

596
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: they they let's say you have a favorite player and

597
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: you just want to learn more about them, see what

598
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: they're doing see their stats or whatever at any given time.

599
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: That's the kind of stuff that will really help with that.

600
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're in the in the Futures Park area

601
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: and they were demonstrating it all and I go, here

602
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: we go. They're gonna beat us out at that too.

603
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: It was amazing. And then uh AR was packed all

604
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: over the place, all the boosts that we're doing AR

605
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: more than VR. I was surprised.

606
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: Interesting. I think, uh yeah, I think there's a place

607
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: for both. But I personally, I like, I don't. I

608
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: think VR is amazing. I think AR is cool. It's

609
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: like a good like wading into the waters, you know.

610
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: And they both have, like I said, they both have

611
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: their augmented reality. If you're listening and you're wondering what

612
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about here, augmented reality is when they kind

613
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: of add something to the world around you, but you

614
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: still see the world around you, whereas virtual reality is

615
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: more like your entire existence is happening in a computer

616
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: generated world. So that's that's the differentiator that I explained

617
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 1: last thing.

618
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: Last thing on Facebook. I didn't never bother to follow

619
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: up on this. When they put pixels on different sites

620
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: and everything, do they make like any affiliate link, Facebook

621
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: or any money by having somebody place a pixel, by

622
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: them placing a pixel on your heade no.

623
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: Because usually it's the website operator that's placing the pixel.

624
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to remember, I don't think they make

625
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: any money doing that. I think that it's it's more

626
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: for the relationship of the website to kind of figure out. Yeah,

627
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: it's like, let's say I own a belt website. I

628
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: want to be able to tap into Facebook's marketing data

629
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: by kind of figuring out who's coming to my website.

630
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: And then what they do is they call it similar audiences.

631
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: So okay, let's say, all, let's say ten thousand people

632
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: come to my belt website, and now I have the

633
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: Facebook pixel. It knows exactly who those ten thousand people

634
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: are on Facebook. And then Facebook says, well, here's another

635
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: ten thousand people that are exactly like them. You can

636
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: market to them because they're very similar to the people

637
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: that just came to your website. And that's how the

638
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: magic works, and that's the information marketers are kind of

639
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: buying from Facebook. It's really fascinating when you think about it.

640
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: Okay, and so then it's a paid service. The marketers

641
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: are buying it from Facebook.

642
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean it's not. You don't just to

643
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: see the data that's being collected from your website. You

644
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: don't have to pay to do that, but you do

645
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: have to pay. Yeah, you only have to pay if

646
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: you want to kind of do a marketing plan against

647
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: that data, you know what I mean?

648
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, yeah. I'm surprised that a piece of

649
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: technology got buy me. Can you believe it?

650
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. You are you're You're better than me

651
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: on some of this stuff.

652
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: It's the thirty five years from IBM. That doesn't that'll

653
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: do it.

654
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: How is it in Vegas today?

655
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: Uh?

656
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: Windy as usual, Yeah, and sunny. And before we moved here,

657
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: I always said, why is it every time I fly

658
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: into Vegas is clear and sunny, but yet the plane

659
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: goes all over the place.

660
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: I was just going to say that every time. It's

661
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: like I've I've actually stopped flying into Vegas as much

662
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I'm sick of that flat landing. It's like,

663
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it looks beautiful out, but it's like

664
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: you're being whipped all around exactly.

665
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: And now I was flying in for like twenty years

666
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: that couldn't figure it out. And now that I moved

667
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: here and retired and going and now I understand that.

668
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's not just me because my wife for

669
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: a while she was like refusing to fly in there

670
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: because she was just sick of it. And I was like,

671
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty bad, but not like you know, I mean,

672
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 1: clearly it works. You know what I mean?

673
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well you get an autonomous car.

674
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: And you're okay, yeah, there you go.

675
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: They have that.

676
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: They have that Tesla service for eighty nine dollars that

677
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: will go back and forth, which was great. I tried

678
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: it once.

679
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: Or did you really you took the Tesla because we

680
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: did a story on it. I did not take it.

681
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: They kept asking me to take it to Vegas. I

682
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: was a little hesitant in being in a car for

683
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: five hours with someone else driving, but or a combination

684
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: of a human and Tesla driving. But what'd you think

685
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: of it?

686
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: It was outstanding. You know. They had drinks in there

687
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: and a lot of connections, so you were all connected

688
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: all the week, got a lot of work done. Really,

689
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: and now they go to Irvine, where I used to live,

690
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: so it's perfect to go to Burbank, Irvine and Palm Springs.

691
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah, here it is. It's a test loop

692
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: and basically you just you book a seat in the car.

693
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: I think there's what there's four, four seats available or no,

694
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: three seats available, three because they've got the driver, and

695
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: then three. So right now, they've got Los Angeles to

696
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: San Diego, Los Angeles to Palm Springs, Los Angeles to

697

00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,560

708
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: some of the questions that I'm seeing on the chat room. Hey, Rich,

709
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: what was the website that you can check with internet

710
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: services to see when you're moving to a new area.

711
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,200

714
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: see it. This is now Here's the thing. I think

715
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: that all connect is sort of owned by the cable

716
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: and satellite companies. I don't really know. Let's see about us.

717
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: But the point is it does help you put in

718
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: your address and your phone number and everything, and they

719
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: do that. It used to be called white fence, I think,

720
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I mean it's anyway. It helps

00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: don't know. It doesn't maybe it's not owned by them. Anyway.

00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: look up let's see bundles internet TV, home phone. Oh

729
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: my gosh, I should I tell you guys about my experience.

730
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: I just I had to call Spectrum to negotiate my

731
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: rate because it went up from forty five to sixty

732
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: five dollars a month, and oh my gosh, that was

733
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: not a nice conversation. I was not happy with them.

734
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: I'll be honest they I got a guy in Texas

735
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: and the first thing he does is try to get

736
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: some information out of me about like how many gadgets

737
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: I use and you know, how many how much Internet

738
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: I use, and what my needs are. So immediately he

739
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: was like, well, we don't do any deals anymore. So

740
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: I was like, uh, that can't be true. A lot

741
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: of the people I talked to tell me that they

742
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: are paying forty five dollars a month, which is what

743
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: I'm paying, and I'd like to keep paying that, but

744
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: they bumped it to sixty five. Long story short, we

745
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: went around and around. The best he did was fifty

746
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: five bucks a month, so I got ten dollars off

747
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: for the next year. But the funny thing is he

748
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: tried to upsell me to the three hundred, which was

749
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: going to be I think eighty dollars a month, and

750
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't really think I need so

751
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: I called to save money and the guy's trying to

752
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: sell me on more service, and I'm like dude, come on,

753
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: like customer service one on one. I get it, you're

754
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: trying to make a sale. But the things he was

755
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: saying I thought were a little bit weird because he

756
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: was kind of like not making fun of me, but

757
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: he was kind of like telling me stuff that I

758
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: knew wasn't true. He was like, well, and I guess

759
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: it would be true for certain people. But he was like, well,

760
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: if you change your internet to a different provider, which

761
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I can get AT and T

762
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: here and it's the same price. Blah blah blah. He's like, well,

763
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: if you change, you're gonna have to change all your

764
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: gadgets and it's a you know, it's a pain. And

765
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: I forget if he made fun of their service whatever

766
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: he did, but my point is I was and I

767
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 1: didn't say, you know, look, I do tech for a living.

768
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't really reveal that stuff. But it was just

769
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: funny to kind of call as a regular person and

770
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: hear what he's saying to someone that knows a lot

771
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: about technology and to get the stuff that he's trying

772
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: to sell people on. Anyway, long story, Shore ended up

773
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: saving ten dollars, so I got to fifty five a month.

774
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: I said, are you in the retention department and he said,

775
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: we don't have a retention department anymore, which, come on,

776
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: that's not true. They of course they have retention apartment.

777
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: So I'm happy with it. I was gonna pay twenty

778
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: dollars extra a month. I'm now paying ten dollars extra.

779
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: I hate to see my bills go up, as we

780
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: all do, but at the same time, I'm fining fifty

781
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: five bucks a month. He told me I used nine hundred.

782
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: The best part was at the end he was like, well,

783
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: you know, you used nine hundred gigabytes last month, which

784
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: I think sounded like a lot. I don't feel like

785
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: I used nine hundred gigabytes, but I guess I did,

786
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: so my kids must be watching a lot of Netflix.

787
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: So he was like, well, you know, you use nine

788
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: hundred gigabytes, So I think paying fifty or sixty five

789
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: dollars a month for nine hundred gigabytes of Internet is

790
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: pretty good. And I'm like, I really couldn't challenge him

791
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: on that. I was like, yeah, because I pay about

792
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: two hundred de verison every month for like, you know,

793
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: unlimited data, which is really twenty gigs a month. So

794
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: I really couldn't challenge him on that when he got

795
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: me there, Anthony says on Facebook chap, Hey, Rich, what

796
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: do you think of the Lynxis developed home home mesh

797
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: Wi Fi system pack of three?

798
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: And?

799
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I think it's fine. I think that

800
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: my favorites I've gone over this is Ero is my

801
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: favorite E E R O. Then i'd say Google Wi

802
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: Fi and Netgear orby. I don't have experience with the Lynxis,

803
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: but uh, I think that you'll you'll probably be okay

804
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: with them. Let's see, Lynxus is the one that's uh,

805
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: I think that's the one that's owned by Belkin, right, yeah,

806
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: it is okay. So Lynxus is owned by Belkan and

807
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: you know they just got purchased. So I think you'll

808
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: be fine with it. But I would check out the

809
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: three that I recommend. Three one, Oh you're on with Rich?

810
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: Three win, Oh you're on with Rich? Who am I

811
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: speaking with?

812
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 5: Julian Melendez? I've speak to you last time?

813
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: Hey? How you doing?

814
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 4: Okay?

815
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: How are you?

816
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 5: I do some looking at your life?

817
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: Are you where are you calling from?

818
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 2: Oh?

819
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: Culver City? That's right, okay?

820
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 5: How you doing going good? Quick question on your own

821
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 5: Speczone Internet ye cable, and I was thinking to change it,

822
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 5: but I have the Riz and files and drug TV

823
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 5: Geny and they told me I could switch over, but

824
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 5: the direct with that time spectrum apps, you don't get

825
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: that much channels. But they told me to add four

826
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 5: cable boxes for four rooms. Let's make any difference or known,

827
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 5: what are.

828
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: You trying to do? What's what's the problem with what

829
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: you have right now?

830
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 5: The Drug TV Geny updating is not and my Directivity

831
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 5: is messing up a lot. I don't know the update

832
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 5: or messing.

833
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: Up, and so you're just not happy with the quality

834
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: of the service. Basically no costing us so much. And

835
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: do you have four rooms that you have connected to

836
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: the Genie?

837
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 5: Yes, it's all wireless.

838
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: And it's all wireless, okay, I mean yeah. Oh here's

839
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, if you switch over, it's it's

840
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: kind of a big switchover because they have to come

841
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: to your house and make sure they install the cable

842
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: boxes in each room. I would if you have FiOS,

843
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: if you have Frontier FiOS Internet that's the Internet, Well

844
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: maybe you should call them and see if they can

845
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: give you TV as well, because then you're on one plan.

846
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: It'll probably be a lot cheaper if you do it

847
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: that way.

848
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 5: I would think, Yeah, you've been including with their cell

849
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 5: phone too. Oh, but I don't know if they have wireless,

850
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 5: but I don't think they would run company. No, I

851
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 5: don't think that network they do.

852
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dish network and a lot of them might have

853
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: like a bundle with wireless, but if they're not providing

854
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: the service. But I would if I were you, I

855
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: would call uh. I would call FiOS, which is owned

856
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: by Frontier now in our area, and I would I

857
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: would just ask them, Hey, give me the price on

858
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: four TVs for you know, with the DVR service. They've

859
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: got the same thing where the DVR works in all

860
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: the four TVs. I know people are mixed about Frontier

861
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: and FiOS, so I'm just telling you I don't have

862
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: experience with them except for what I know from a

863
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: corporate level. But I know it was a big growing

864
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: pain when they switched over in southern California to Spectrum

865
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: or to FiOS from Verizon to Frontier. But it's been

866
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: a couple of years now. So and Carlos is saying

867
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: on the Facebook live chat he doesn't like the wireless

868
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: Genie boxes the menus are really slow to react to

869
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: the remotes, so that's interesting. I had a Genie. It

870
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. When I had it, I thought it was fine,

871
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: but I didn't really watch it. I didn't really use

872
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: my direct TV that much, so I did have it

873
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: for a while. But I would do that. I would

874
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: call up the I would call the FiOS and ask

875
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: them to just give you a price on what you

876
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: can do with that, and see what they say, and

877
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: then compare that to what I guess if you have yeah,

878
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's your only option really, so I would

879
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: do that versus going to anything else. I think that's

880
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: a good question. But thanks so much for calling. I

881
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: think that that's Uh. It's tough because most people are

882
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: kind of calling to cancel their cable, and when they

883
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: hear you that you want to add four TVs, I

884
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: think they're they're like, Okay, let's give this guy a deal,

885
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: because clearly we're losing a lot of customers right now

886
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: to just kind of the internet customers. And I think

887
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: that they like when they hear that you want to

888
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: connect all those TVs, so I think they'll come over

889
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: there and do that pretty well. All right, Rich Demiro

890
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot TV. You're listening to Rich on

891
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: tech Live. I just wanted to talk about one thing

892
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: real quick here. Spotify and Hulu they teamed up. We'll

893
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: take We have time for one more call. By the way,

894
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: three one oh five nine four three zero zero three.

895
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Spotify and Hulu teamed up, so now they've got If

896
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: you're a Spotify Premium customer, you can now add Hulu

897
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: for effectively three dollars a month, which is pretty good

898
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: if you want to get the Hulu programming, which has

899
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: like seventy five thousand shows. If you're into like current

900
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: TV shows, like a lot of the sitcoms and stuff

901
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: that air or dramas, Hulu's really good for that. And

902
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: of course a lot of people like that show, The

903
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: Handmaid's Tale. I've not seen it, but a lot of

904
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: people love that show. So if you have Spotify Premium,

905
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: you're already paying the ten dollars a month for that.

906
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: You can add sp Hulu to your plan for three

907
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: dollars a month, so it's twelve ninety nine for both.

908
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm on the family plan with Spotify, I pay fifteen dollars.

909
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: They are not allowing the family plan to add Hulu

910
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: because I'd probably add it for three bucks a month.

911
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: That's a pretty darn good deal. If you have it

912
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: right now. You can do a ninety nine cent promotional deal,

913
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: so you can try the Hulu for three months for

914
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: ninety nine cents, So that's pretty good. The thing I

915
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: don't like about Hulu Limited, which is what they're giving you,

916
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: the limited plan still has commercials and have I mean,

917
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: it's fine if you get to sit through limited commercials,

918
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: but you're still paying for the commercials, so you're paying

919
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: three dollars to sit through those commercials. But that's pretty good.

920
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: So Glenda says, what if you already have Hulu. If

921
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: you already have Hulu, you're gonna have to cancel Hulu

922
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: and then sign up again through this special link to

923
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: get the new product. So but you have to have

924
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: you have to have Spotify Premium. Okay, so real quick,

925
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: I want to talk about one thing real quick before

926
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: we go, because I thought that this is I'm getting

927
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: so many questions about this thing. So this is the

928
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: Facebook BFF thing everyone's asking me about. If you type

929
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: BFF on Facebook, does it? Hold on? Let me get

930
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: the article here, because this is okay, so the article

931
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: there's a big thing going around on Facebook. People are

932
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: saying Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, invented the word BFF,

933
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: which is stupid and not true. To make sure your

934
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: account is safe on Facebook, type bff in a comment.

935
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: If it appears green, your account is protected. If it

936
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: does not appear in green, change your password immediately because

937
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: it will be hacked. So stupid, I mean, clearly that's

938
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: not true. Anyway, So you see when you do that

939
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: and what happens there. So my point is, there's a

940
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: lot of other things you can type. These are little

941
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: graphics that Facebook puts in there, and let's see here,

942
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: I gotta figure out how to get rid of this

943
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: thing because I just did this. Okay, So anyway, Facebook

944
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: puts a lot so other things you can do. By

945
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: the way, you can type in you're the best, and

946
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: that will also do some flying stars. You can type

947
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: in best wishes and you get two hands that unfold

948
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: with colorful shapes flying up to the screen. Okay, you

949
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: can let's see. Okay, here we go delete, there we go. Okay,

950
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: let's see what else can you do? You can do

951
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: this an article, by the way, I'm reading off on medium,

952
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: I'll send you, guys, the link you can do you've

953
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: got this and or you can do it and you'll

954
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: get some thumbs up emoji bounces. You can do rad

955
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: that will give you a flurry of thumbs up emojis.

956
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: You can do congrats and you'll get a bunch of

957
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: balloons and confetti. Or you can do XO and you'll

958
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: get a bunch of small hearts. So kind of cool

959
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: to try all these different things, because they don't are

960
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: you guys? Now, I see you're commenting these things, but

961
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: are they working on my Facebook Live? Because I don't

962
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: think they work on the Facebook Live. You have to

963
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: do them on someone's comment, right, all right, So Lisa

964
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: is asking what is the safest way to save photos?

965
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: And it's a fantastic question. So I will tell you

966
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: what I do. Your results may vary, you may want

967
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: to do it, but I'll tell you the system that

968
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: you should be using for your photos. Okay, So number one,

969
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: you take a photo. Most of us are taking our

970
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: pictures on our cell phones, so that's the first place

971
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you have your pictures

972
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: backed up on your phone. Okay, So that means you

973
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: can use iCloud. If you have Apple, you can use iCloud.

974
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: So if you turn on iCloud, make sure that you

975
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: say optimize photos on my phone because otherwise you're gonna

976
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: run out of space on your phone before you can

977
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: put all your pictures into iCloud. So you need to

978
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: go into settings and make sure that you have a

979
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: setting that's on called optimize iPhone Storage for Photos. Okay,

980
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: that's going to enable you to do this. That's gonna

981
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: enable you to see all your pictures on your iPhone,

982
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: but some of them are going to be stored up

983
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: in the cloud. So that means you can have twenty

984
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: thousand pictures in your photo collection on your phone, but

985
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: they're not really residing on your phone. Okay, So that's

986
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: number one, So you have to do that. So you've

987
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: got iPhone, you've got iicloud, that's good. Number two if

988
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 1: you're using that system, you still want your pictures backed

989
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: up in a secondary place. So this could be as

990
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: easy as every month you download a copy of all

991
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: your pictures to your computer and you have them on

992
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: there as well. You always want your pictures in two places.

993
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: That's the name of the game, because if one place

994
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: goes down, the other place is going to be your

995
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: backup savior. And believe me, it doesn't happen often, but

996
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: it could and you want to make sure. So you

997
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: can get an external hard drive. You can get something

998
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: called the ie expand this is a really simple way

999
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: to do it. This is from sand Disk and you

1000
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: can get this thing, plug it into your plug it

1001
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: into your iPhone and every once in a while just

1002
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: download your pictures to there. But again you have to

1003
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: have them in two places. So you can do iCloud

1004
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: plus the I expand flash drive, or you can do

1005
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: iCloud plus Google Photos, which is what I do. So

1006
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: I do well, I do Google Photos plus something else.

1007
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: So you can do Google Photos. And Google Photos is

1008
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: a free app. You put that on there, And Pauline

1009
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: is saying, what if you don't use Apple, Then if

1010
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: you don't use Apple, my choice is Google Photos. So

1011
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: that's where you want to go. And Google Photos is free,

1012
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: one hundred percent free. You put your photos in there

1013
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: and it will back up as many pictures as you

1014
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: have forever for free. And it's amazing, it's searchable, it's free.

1015
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: You don't have to think about it. If you don't

1016
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: want to use Google because somehow you don't like Google.

1017
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: You can use Flicker, and again, Flicker has an app

1018
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: that you can put on your phone and that's gonna

1019
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: let you upload all the pictures. Now, you only get

1020
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: a thousand gigs, which is one terabyte, so they are

1021
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 1: limit but for most people a thousand gigs should be fine.

1022
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: Amazon Photos that's another one. If you are an Amazon

1023
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: customer and you have Amazon Prime, you can use Amazon

1024
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: Photos for free and you get unlimited photo storage as well.

1025
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: If you don't have Prime, you get five gigs, So

1026
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: I don't recommend it. If you don't have Prime. I mean,

1027
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: you could use it up to five gigs, but that's

1028
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: that's pretty small. But if you have Prime, you're gonna

1029
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: get unlimited. So again, you need your photos in two places.

1030
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: One of these apps, which I just mentioned a bunch

1031
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: of them. You can do Amazon, you can do Google Photos,

1032
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: or you can do or you can do One Drive.

1033
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: That's another one. You just have to pick one. But

1034
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: you got to have it in two places, So have

1035
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: it on your phone, on a backup drive and in

1036
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: one of these places. So because your phone is going

1037
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: to run out of storage, so you really want to

1038
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 1: have you really want to have your photos in different place,

1039
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: and yes, Lisa, you can. Once your photos are in

1040
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 1: Amazon Phone Photos, then you click that optimized storage button

1041
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: and then you can do that. You don't really you

1042
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 1: want to make sure that these things are in a

1043
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: different place. I've seen way too many people lose their

1044
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: photos because they're not syncing them, they're not backing them up,

1045
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: they don't have them backed up in two places. But

1046
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: you have to do that. And Angie is saying, I

1047
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: need to save all my Facebook photos. Go to Facebook,

1048
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: go to Facebook Tools. It's called Facebook Download my Data.

1049
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: Download Download Data. And all you have to do is

1050
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: download all your data. It will give you a copy

1051
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: of all your pictures and then you can upload them

1052
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: to your cloud storage and you can do that from

1053
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: the web. You can do that in a lot of

1054
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: different places. So all right, thanks so much for listening
