1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: The battle of the thin phones begins with Samsung's Galaxy

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: S twenty five Edge now and the iPhone expected later.

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Coinbase gets hacked and promises to pay back customers. A

00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: makes its way to the US, and yes, that even

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: includes Amazon Plus. Your tech questions answered? What's going on

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: on Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech. This

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: is the show where I talk about the tech stuff

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: I think you should know about. It's also the place

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: where I answer your questions about technology. I believe the

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: tech should be interesting, useful and fun. With that in mind,

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: let's open up those phone lines at triple eight Rich

Speaker 1: across the nation and streaming the beginning of the show

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: on KTLA Plus, which is available on the major streaming platforms.

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: Guests this week, Johnny Jet, you remember him, he joins

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: us to share the latest in travel technology and tips,

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: and later in the show, Steve Fisher, futurist and co

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: author of Super Shifts, is going to talk about the

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: future of humanity and what comes after the age of AI.

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: I think we're all wondering that. Let's talk thin phones.

28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Since the beginning of the smartphone, the idea has always

29
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: been smaller, thinner, lighter. Our phones have evolved with more

30
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: features packed into tinier spaces. Now go back to the iPod.

31
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: Remember it was almost laughable how much smaller it got

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: each time it was released. First you had the iPod Classic,

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: then you had the iPod Mini, then you had the Nano,

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: then you had the shuffle so small you might lose

35
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: it if you blinked, And that kind of happened with phones.

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: When the first Samsung Galaxy S arrived in twenty ten,

37
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: it was notably thinner than the iPhone four at the time,

38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: and that was heavily advertised. Then each generation of the

39
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: iPhone shaved off just a millimeter or two to make

40
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: it ever so thin. That was until the Droid Razor

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: came along. That was marketed as the thinnest smartphone in

42
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: the world. At just seven point one millimeters thick. Keep

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: in mind they measure these things at their thinnest point,

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: not including the camera bump. Even the original Flip Razor

45
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: phone that everyone had, I mean, Motorola at one point

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: was on top of the smartphone market. That was seen

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: as amazingly thin at the time. Razor thin, right, see

48
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: where they got the name, especially compared to one of

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: my first smartphones, the Motorola Star Tac Flip. Remember that

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: one in the late nineties. That thing was huge, and

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: if you had the extended battery on it, it was

52
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: even bigger. But it was amazing. Then I remember my

53
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: phone before the iPhone. This was going back to two

54
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: thousand and seven. It was the Moto Q. Now, this

55
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: was kind of a sleeper hit for me versus a

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: lot of other people. You know, everyone was into their

57
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: Blackberries at the time, but this Moto Q stole my attention.

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: I lusted after that thing.

59
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: This was the phone before the iPhone, and it was

60
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: all the advertising around New York City, where I was

61
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: living at the time, was all about the thinness of

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: this device. And don't forget, this was a smartphone, so

63
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: I had the smarts built in and it was eleven

64
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: millimeters thick. Now remember those numbers. Of course, then consumer

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: taste began to change. People wanted more battery life and

66
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: more performance out of their phones, not just a super

67
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: thin experience. So phones kind of got a little bit bigger,

68
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: and they started to come in more sizes.

69
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Until this week, we.

70
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Are back to counting millimeters with the samson On Galaxy

71
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: S twenty five Edge.

72
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: I have it right here. If you're watching on the streaming,

73
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: you can see it.

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: This thing is so thin and light it almost feels fake.

75
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: It is five point eight millimeters thick or thin. However,

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: you look at it one hundred and sixty three grams,

77
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: which really means nothing. For reference, the S twenty five

78
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: Ultra is two hundred and eighteen grams. But it's one

79
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: of those things that you have to feel. You have

80
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: to hold it in your hand to realize just how

81
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: thin and light this is. I've been using this phone

82
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: for a few days now. It's I mean, we've used

83
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 1: this term before. It's an engineering marvel. It is literally

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: one of the slimmest and lightest phones I've ever used.

85
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel real, and we have not seen a

86
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: mainstream phone this thin in nearly a decade, especially not

87
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: one with specs this good. You're not giving up a

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: lot with this device like you might have in the

89
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: past for a thin phone. By the way, it's also

90
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: really slippery, so you need to put a case on

91
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: it asap. Side point, why are manufacturers of these phones

92
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: not working on grippier phones? I mean, it would not

93
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: take much to make a phone that you can actually

94
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: hold without a case. But maybe it's because the accessory

95
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: industry is valued at a cool ninety billion dollars.

96
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: But I digress.

97
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: The Samsung Galaxy S twenty five Edge has pretty much

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: everything you need.

99
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: That six point seven inch screen.

100
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: There's no anti reflective coding like the S twenty five

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Ultra has, which is an amazing feature.

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: By the way.

103
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: It also has a two hundred megapixel main camera, a

104
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: twelve megapixel wide angle camera, but no zoom lens. You

105
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: can still zoom, but it's all digital, so it's up

106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: to ten times digital zoom. Then you've got twelve gigabytes

107
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 1: of RAM and same as the S twenty five Ultra

108
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty six gigs of storage or five

109
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve and it's got the same high end

110
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: processor that's in the S twenty five Ultra. Now, Samsung

111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: is positioning this as in between the S twenty five

112
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: Plus and in between next to the Ultra, and if

113
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: you believe the rumors, the Plus might go away the

114
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: next time Samsung releases their phones, so we have to

115
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. There's also good water and dust resistance,

116
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: but no spen. But then there's the battery. Thirty nine

117
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: hundred millionamp hours. Now that's compared to most modern smartphones,

118
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: the flagship devices, and the Ultra has about a five

119
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: thousand million amp hour battery. So what does that mean.

120
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: It means you're getting about twenty percent less battery capacity,

121
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: which doesn't bode well for power users like myself. That

122
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: could mean the difference between making it to bedtime or

123
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: hunting for a charger by dinner. However, I will say

124
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: in my testing over the past couple of days, the

125
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: battery does trickle down a little bit faster than the Ultra,

126
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: but Samsung phones do charge up pretty fast, so you

127
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: plug it in, it's just fine.

128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: For instance, I woke.

129
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: Up this morning the phone was at forty seven percent

130
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: because I didn't plug it in last night. I plugged

131
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: it in for just a little bit and it was

132
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: up to ninety seven percent in just a few minutes,

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 1: so it charges very fast. I will say there is

134
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: the issue of heat dissipation with these thin phones. So,

135
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: like I said, I've had my hands on this phone

136
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: for just a couple of days, it does seem to

137
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: get warmer than the Ultra. And they've worked on making

138
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: the Ultra cooler over the years with a larger they

139
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: called the vapor chamber inside. That's just a fancy term

140
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: for how air can flow through this phone and make

141
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: it cool and say cool. But of course I'm using

142
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: this phone a lot. I'm setting it up, I'm downloading apps,

143
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm logging into things, I'm putting the phone through its paces.

144
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, Samsung is so confident about the thin

145
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: lightness nature of this device that they actually are going

146
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to have special systems to attach these phones, like the

147
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: anti theft systems in the stores. They came up with,

148
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: like special ones so that you can actually hold the

149
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: phone fully without something else weighing it down. You know,

150
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: usually there's that big thing glued to the back of

151
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: the phone to keep it keep you from stealing it. Well,

152
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: they somehow made something that's a lot smaller and lighter,

153
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: so that it feels like you can actually feel the

154
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: amazingness of this phone. The Galaxy S twenty five Edge

155
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: is eleven hundred dollars. It's available on May thirtieth. Now,

156
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: they do have pre order deals that gets you about

157
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: fifty dollars off, double the storage, and up to six

158
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty dollars for your old phone. But the

159
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: question becomes, who needs a super thin phone? Well, I

160
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: don't think it's a bad thing, and I don't think

161
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: people are going to run out to buy this phone

162
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: specifically because it's thin, although you might want to take

163
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: a look at it. I do think once you see

164
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: and feel it, though, you will be intrigued. Especially if

165
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: you want a Samsung. You're getting a mostly flagship phone

166
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: that's a bit different from everything else out there, and

167
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: this is not just a Samsung thing. Like I said earlier,

168
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Apple is expected to come out with their rumored iPhone

169
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: Air later this year. The iPhone seventeen models will probably

170
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: include a super thin phone, and next year, Apple's rumored

171
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: to do their first foldable phone, something Samsung's been doing

172
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: for six years now. I remember seeing the first fold

173
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Yeah, the one that had all those

174
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: screen issues. Now, you have to give Samsung credit for

175
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: giving people a lot of choices.

176
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: They've got the.

177
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: Ultra, they've got the Edge, they've got the regular s

178
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: twenty five and two sizes. Then they've got their foldable phones,

179
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: one that folds like a book, the other like a clamshell.

180
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: But the funny thing is, as much as I've been

181
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: reporting on Samsung innovations for years, many in the Apple

182
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: ecosystem just sort of discount the news. They wait for

183
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Apple to do their thing, and it's happened over and over.

184
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: We've seen larger screens, water resistance, wireless charging, multiple lenses,

185
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: and always on displays happen first on the Samsung and

186
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: then later on the iPhone where they get a lot

187
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: of attention. The top tech YouTuber I got a kick

188
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: out of this MKBHD. He tweeted the other day how

189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: he was at a family members graduation and the person

190
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: behind him was marveling at the zoom capabilities of his phone.

191
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: They'd never seen anything like that before. He said, well,

192
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: it's as Samsung S twenty five Ultra. The top reply

193
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: to that tweet was another YouTuber completing the interaction in

194
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: the way it typically goes, Oh, that's not an iPhone.

195
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: Never mind.

196
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not saying Apple doesn't innovate, but don't get

197
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: me wrong there. They just take a bit longer to

198
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: do things, and when they do, they put their own

199
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: signature twist on it, and usually do it in a

200
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: really thoughtful, polished way. Samsung probably throws more at the

201
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: wall to see what would work. But the bigger issue

202
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: these days is, even though there's no lack of innovation,

203
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: it's getting tougher and tougher to switch from one side

204
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: to another. When I first started covering this stuff, the

205
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: question always was are you going to switch from Android

206
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: to iPhone?

207
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: iPhone to Android?

208
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: But these days it's so rare that people want to

209
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: go through the hassle of that. Who's going to move

210
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: their iCloud to Android or Google Drive to iPhone? Even

211
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: though the accessory, even the accessori is built up around

212
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: Apple gadgets keep you wanting more and don't get me

213
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: started on I message you know my thoughts there.

214
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 2: Overall, it's a.

215
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: Good thing that companies keep innovating, even if the majority

216
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: of tech headlines and YouTube videos about the edge seem

217
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: to be this is a phone nobody asked for, but

218
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: maybe that's just to get you to click. So while

219
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: this phone might not be for everyone, it is proof

220
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: that companies are still trying to wow us, even if

221
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: that means going back to thin to win. All right,

222
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: coming up on the show, I'm going to tell you

223
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: about the new service that gives you a dollar back

224
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: on every Amazon order.

225
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: But first it is your turn.

226
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: We're going to take your calls at Triple eight Rich

227
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: one on one eight eight eight seven four to two

228
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: four one zero one. My name is Rich dmiro, and

229
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: you are listening to Rich on Tech. Let's go to

230
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: Tony in the Inland Empire. Tony, you're on with Rich.

231
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 3: Hi, Rich, thank you so much for taking my call.

232
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: I really really really need your help. I would like

233
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: to figure out how to put the setting back to

234
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: have my iPhone notify me when I leave my phone behind.

235
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: My phone did this at one time. I didn't change

236
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: any settings or do anything, but it no longer worked,

237
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: and I misplaced my phone a few times and I really.

238
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: Need your help.

239
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: Okay, now, what where are you going to get the notification?

240
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: If it's your phone that's on my watch okay, on

241
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: your watch.

242
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Yeah, my watch would notify me if I

243
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: left my iPhone behind, Like if I leave it in

244
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: the car and I walk away my phone, my I

245
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: watched with some I'll notify me that I'm out of

246
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: range or that I've left my phone behind or something.

247
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: Yes, yep, okay.

248
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: So what you're talking about is a feature called a

249
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: separation alert, and this is a feature inside the Find

250
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: My app. So what happened is you probably got one

251
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: of these notifications on your wrist and you might have

252
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: swiped it away or dismissed it, or turned it off

253
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: at some point by accident, or you might have said

254
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: something that discontinued these alerts and they just have to

255
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: be reset up. So all you have to do is

256
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: go into the So go on your iPhone and just

257
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: type in find my and that will bring up to

258
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Find My app.

259
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: And there's a whole bunch of stuff going on in

260
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: this app. Down at the bottom.

261
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: You've got people, you've got devices, you've got items.

262
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: Can you do with items?

263
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: No?

264
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't think so you can do it with items,

265
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: and then you've got me. So what you want to

266
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: do is tap devices and if your Apple watch is

267
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: connected to your phone. You should have some options there.

268
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: And that's interesting. It's showing my AirPods in a hmm,

269
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: interesting shows that my wife left. Oh maybe, sure, this

270
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: is weird. It's showing that her air pods are left

271
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: at the gym. It looks like but I don't know

272
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: who knows. We'll see Wait, is that Someone's house? Now,

273
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: it's just kidding, Jim's house. Yeah, that's funny. Okay, So

274
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: what you want to do is go under the devices

275
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: and you know what, we gotta put the show on hold.

276
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: I gotta look at this. I gotta no. I was

277
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: just kidding. I'm just kidding. Okay.

278
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: So you go under devices and where it says your iPhone. So,

279
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: for instance, my iPhone is named Rich's iPhone seventeen Ultra,

280
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: which I know it's nerd humor. There is no such

281
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: thing as an iPhone seventeen ultra. But I always think

282
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: it's funny if people see my stuff on air Drop

283
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: that they were like, wait.

284
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: What this phone? It doesn't even okay, I know I'm

285
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: a nerd.

286
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: So you go in there and you'll see under notifications,

287
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: it says notify when left behind, and it should say

288
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: enabled for you or Apple Watch. If it does not

289
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: say that, you need to toggle on the switch that

290
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: says notify when left behind. Okay. And then the other

291
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: thing is there's some exceptions. You might have turned on

292
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: an exception. So some people might like this to be

293
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: turned off when they're at their house because if they

294
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: leave their phone in their car or something like that,

295
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: they don't want this or at their work. So make

296
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: sure no exceptions are on there. And if there's an

297
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: exception on there, then you can just go ahead and

298
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: delete that. So you can there's a little arrow like

299
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: a looks like a circle with a line through it.

300
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: You can just tap that and say remove, and then

301
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: once you have that all set up, it should work

302
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: next time to alert you when your stuff is left behind. Now,

303
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: these alerts are great, but sometimes they're kind of annoying

304
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: because if you have a lot of Apple devices, Like

305
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: every time I go on a run, it's like you

306
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: just left behind. It gives me a list of like

307
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: one hundred things. I'm like, I get it. They're all

308
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: safe and sound in my house. So if you're getting

309
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: those alerts, you can turn off some of them. If

310
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: at the secured locations where you might leave your stuff

311
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: behind on purpose, for instance, your home or your work,

312
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: or maybe you have a you know, vacation house somewhere.

313
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: You don't need those things to trigger every time you

314
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: leave the house. So a great question, Tony, really appreciate

315
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: it this morning. That is an excellent one.

316
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: Good luck.

317
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: And yes, I always joke that the number one feature

318
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: of my Apple Watch is pinging my phone. I love

319
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: that little feature where you just go on the side,

320
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: you press the button and there's a little ping if

321
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: you press the flat button on the side of your

322
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: Apple Watch and you look in that in all the

323
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: little quick settings, there's one that looks like an iPhone

324
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: that's ringing. You tap that and your iPhone will do this.

325
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: So if you've ever done that, you know that sound

326
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: very well?

327
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: All right? Eighty eight rich one O.

328
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: One eight eight eight seven four to two four one

329
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: zero one. Let's do a quick question here from Melissa

330
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. She wrote in I want to send

331
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: my nephew some cash for his birthday. I thought I'd

332
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: use Apple Cash, but the app told me I needed

333
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: to add a debit card to my Apple wallet. That

334
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: makes sense, but I don't feel safe doing it since

335
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: that's a direct line in my checking account. I know

336
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: Apple is secure, but it seems like credit card companies

337
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: protect us more than banks. What do you think, Well,

338
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: first off, Melissa, I think it's very smart that you're

339
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: thinking about this. Anytime I'm adding a debit card or

340
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: using that debit card for anything, I'm always thinking about

341
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: the privacy and security implications. In fact, I have a

342
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: separate debit card that is not linked to my main

343
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: checking account just for stuff like this, because that means

344
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: there's only a limited amount of money at risk. So

345
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: that is a little bit of buffer, A little bit

346
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: of a buffer with debit cards. Yeah, it could be

347
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: trickier to get your money back compared to credit cards,

348
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: but I will tell you just looking up the Apple

349
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: Pay security, Apple goes through a lot of hoops to

350
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: keep your information safe. It says, after your card has approved,

351
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: they come up with a device specific account number, they

352
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: encrypt it, and they do not store or have access

353
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: to the original card numbers of credit, debit or prepay cards.

354
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: So I think you should be okay, But I like

355
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: that you're questioning this stuff. Eighty eight rich one one

356
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero

357
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: one coming up can get.

358
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: Money back on your Amazon purchases.

359
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: Got an email from Leo saying, I'm supposed to be

360
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: a tech wizard, but I can't find the option to

361
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: stream your show live on the KTLA plus app or

362
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: anywhere else. I should clarify, So if I said live stream,

363
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: I did not mean that you can watch the first

364
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: ten minutes of the show on the KTLA plus app

365
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: through rich on Tech Weekly.

366
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: That's a show that we do on the app specifically.

367
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: So KTLA Plus app is available for Roku, Apple TV, Fire,

368
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: TV stick, and select Samsung TVs. So it's not gonna

369
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: be the live show. We do not live stream the show.

370
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: The only way to listen to the show live is

371
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: on the radio, and it's that way for a reason

372
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: because I like it that way. And we may change,

373
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, we may, Okay, I say that now we may.

374
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,239
Speaker 2: You never know.

375
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: Things could change over time. But at this point, the

376
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: way to listen to the show is live on the radio.

377
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: If you want to download the KTLA plus app, which

378
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: you can do anywhere no matter where you live, you

379
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: don't have to live in Los Angeles, you can watch

380
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: the first minute, first ten minutes of the show that way.

381
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: Plus you can see all of my TV reports as well.

382
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: We package them all up in a weekly show. It's

383
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: kind of fun and uh yeah, it's great. Okay, let's

384
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: go to Oh my gosh, so many people. Let's go

385
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: to Leon in a Fallbrook.

386
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: Leon.

387
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 5: You're on with Rich Good morning.

388
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 6: All right.

389
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 7: When MGM had their big security breach, you were recommending

390
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 7: Penchester protect your data. Do you still recommend that.

391
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: We talked about pen Tester. I did not recommend it.

392
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: I mentioned it. We did an interview with them, and

393
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: I did talk about how you can use it. They

394
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: had a special tool that they set up. This was

395
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: during the big data breach the UH I think it

396
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: was called the NPD the National Public Data One, and

397
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: so we did have the guy on from pen Tester.

398
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: We did have the tool on.

399
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 1: As for recommending these services, I don't recommend a specific service,

400
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: But if you're trying to sort of rein in some

401
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: of the information that's out there about you on the web,

402
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a really tough question because here's a thing,

403
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: and this is actually what the guests and many guests

404
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: have said, is that the toughest part about all this

405
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: information is that the worst stuff is on the dark web,

406
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: and that is nearly impossible to recall. Right, you cannot

407
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: remove stuff from the dark web. What does the dark

408
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: web have? Your social Security number, your date of birth,

409
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: all the really highly personal information, your passwords that's out

410
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: there on the dark web, the stuff that's on the

411
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: sort of mainstream data broker sites, your name, your address,

412
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: your age, your phone number. That stuff is like almost

413
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: like table stakes at this point. Anyone can get that.

414
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: Anyone can have that. It's very simple to find that information.

415
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: So I think the question becomes is it worth cleaning

416
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: up all that information for twenty dollars a month? And

417
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: that's something that you really have to decide now. For

418
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: me personally, I have done a lot of this stuff myself.

419
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: I use the DIY takedown guide and they've got a

420
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: whole bunch of them. Let's see, I think it was

421
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: from delete me. So if you go to there's there's.

422
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 6: Okay, let's say, is it just delete me.

423
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: There's a couple of services that can give you these

424
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: guides on how to change or how to take down

425
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: the information that's you know, on you out there, and

426
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: so you can do that yourself or you can pay

427
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: one of these services The thing about paying these services

428
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: is that, you know, it depends how much you need

429
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: taken down and how effective that is, because there's a

430
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: new one popping up every day. It's like a game

431
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: of whack a ble, And so even if you pay

432
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month to take these things down, there's

433
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: gonna be another one that takes it, you know, puts

434
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: it up the next day. So you have to kind

435
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: of subscribe to them for the long term for them

436
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: to continually be removed. Now, the one that I did

437
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: do that was automated. Mozilla gave me a sort of

438
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: a test account of their service called Mozilla Monitor, and

439
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, it was interesting and I saw that they

440
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: did take down like two hundred and fifty different pieces

441
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: of my data. But again it's still sort of there

442
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: in general, and so I guess my advice would be,

443
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: if you want to try one of these things, if

444
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: you want to get this stuff taken down, it's not

445
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: going to hurt, but yes, you are going to spend

446
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: some money. And the idea behind these systems is that

447
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, you got to kind of beat them for

448
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: the long term because there's always going to be something

449
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: new that pops up. So I would say it might

450
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: be easier to just sort of do a couple of

451
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: things yourself, get down some of the main things, remove those,

452
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: and that can help. So I had a segment for

453
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: ktla remove how to erase yourself from the Internet, that

454
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: was pretty popular, and in there I talk about number

455
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: one signing up for Google's free Results about You service,

456
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: So you can sign up for this and if a

457
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: website has your personal information on it, you can ask

458
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: Google to take it down. Doesn't delete the original, but

459
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: it will take down some of those. Then I talk

460
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: about the services like you mentioned, including Incogni Privacy b

461
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: Those are twenty dollars a month. Consumer reports said that

462
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: a lot of them don't have a great success rate.

463
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: And then I posted the free opt out guide and

464
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: this is from delete Me. Delete me dot com has

465
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: these opt out guides and you can go through almost

466
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: every website that you've ever signed up for and you

467
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: can follow their instructions on how to delete your information,

468
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: deactivate your account, delete the information from those sites. So

469
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: it could be from a spokio or it could be

470
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: from something like Angie's List. So again it's this is

471
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: a system and a process that takes a very long

472
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: time to do, but it can be done. And those

473
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: services like you mentioned, the pen testers of the world,

474
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: they can help for sure, But the main thing is

475
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: moving forward. I think you have to practice sort of

476
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: better hygiene when it comes to the web. Use a

477
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: masked email address for you know, if you're signing up

478
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: for random things, definitely one hundred percent. Use a strong

479
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: unique password for every single website that you're signing up for,

480
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: and then of course two factor authentication, and then you

481
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: might want to look into sort of freezing your credit

482
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: reports if you're soci security numbers out there, which it

483
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: probably is, and you can do all that stuff pretty

484
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: much for free, So that's kind of what I recommend.

485
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: I think that that's a great way to go about it.

486
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: And if you want to spend the money on one

487
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: of these services, it's.

488
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: Not going to hurt you.

489
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: You know, you're just going to be out one hundred

490
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: and fifty bucks for the year whatever it is, you know,

491
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars for the year. But yes, they will

492
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: take down a large percentage of your information online. Just

493
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: understand that it's not the end all. There's still more

494
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: information that's out there. Leon, Thanks so much.

495
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: For the call.

496
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: Do appreciate it. It's interesting, you know people use the

497
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: word recommend are you know, when it's when they talk

498
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: about the things that I've talked about or they say endorse,

499
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: And you have to understand that, like, you know, I

500
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: talk about a lot of things unless I'm specifically saying

501
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: like this is what I use, this is what I like,

502
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: this is what I think you should be using. You know,

503
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that come up in the

504
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: discussions on my radio show, my social media, my newsletter,

505
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: my TV segments. So it does get confusing because just

506
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: because I'm presenting something to you doesn't mean I am

507
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: saying that this is what you should do. A lot

508
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: of times I'm telling you kind of the different options

509
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: that are out there. Okay, big big merger deal. Charter

510
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: and Cos, the two big cable companies are merging. So

511
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: Charter Communications is buying Cox Communications. For now, They've seen

512
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of numbers thrown around. A couple of

513
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: them say twenty two billion, some of them say thirty

514
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: four billion.

515
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm not a numbers guy. I'm not really sure.

516
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: All I know is is a lot combined company is

517
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: going to have thirty eight million customers. Good luck calling

518
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: customer service there. It'll be the biggest cable and broadband

519
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: provider in the US. The new company is going to

520
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: be called Cox Communications. Spectrum is going to be the

521
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: consumer brand for internet and TV.

522
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 6: Now.

523
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: The deal is expected to say these companies five hundred

524
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: million dollars annually are within three years. I guess, so

525
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: layoffs are expected, of course, and you know, the cable

526
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: companies are painting this picture of a lot of pressure

527
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: from the wireless companies, the satellite companies, the streaming companies,

528
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: and I do agree with that. I do think that

529
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: cable TV used to be a huge, big business that

530
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: was guaranteed. And now, yeah, you can sign up for

531
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: Verizon Home Internet and have that wirelessly delivered your house

532
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: in two seconds, or same thing with US Starlink. So

533
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: I do think that there is much more competition, and

534
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: they say that they're gonna have to use this to

535
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: compete against Verizon and T Mobile. But they did say

536
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: that broadband is now the main business. TV is no

537
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: longer the growth area that it was, so they say

538
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: there will be no immediate impact to customers, but of

539
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: course we're going to see different pricing changes different package changes.

540
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: And I always think when these big companies merge, it

541
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: is never a good thing for the consumer, right it's

542
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: less choice where you're going to go. But at this point,

543
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: at least you've got the wireless options, at least you've

544
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: got satellite keeping these companies on their toes. So it's

545
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: not going to happen overnight. But I have said before

546
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: that we are going to see many, many big companies

547
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: merging in the next couple of years because the time

548
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: is right for these companies. With the current administration and

549
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: the climate in Washington, it seems like these big companies

550
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: have been waiting to pounce, and it is the time

551
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: for them.

552
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: Eighty eight rich.

553
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: One O one eight eight eight seven four to two

554
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: four one zero one coming up more of your questions,

555
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: and I will tell you about the new rewards program

556
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: that just came to the US and it can give

557
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: you cash back on your Amazon purchases. I'll tell you

558
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: about that coming up next right here on Rich on Tech.

559
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: Edward in Tampa has a question that's very intriguing. Edward,

560
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

561
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, rich wanted to bring this up for not just

562
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 8: for people that I live in the row areas. But

563
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 8: even even if you live in the city, and that

564
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 8: is called Terra. This is the laser internet instead of

565
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 8: the traditional fiber optics. What is your take on it?

566
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 8: I saw this on that German DW in March. What

567
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 8: do you think about something like that.

568
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm the first I'm hearing of it. Is it available

569
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: in the US?

570
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 8: I know Google? It comes out from out of Google.

571
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 8: So I'd like to see something like this be more

572
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 8: in commercial use because I think it'd be very beneficial

573
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 8: than the traditional fiber optics.

574
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's yeah, it's so you're not laying any

575
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: You're not laying any cable basically, Okay, so it's yeah.

576
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: Interest This is the first I'm hearing of it. But

577
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: it's Google's parent company, you know, it's alphabet. It's a

578
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: laser internet company called Terra t A A r A.

579
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: Now they're independent, so I guess they were spun off.

580
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: But it basically uses beams of light to transmit data

581
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: between terminals. So it's sort of a high speed, case

582
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: free alternative to fiber optics. So if you don't want

583
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: to lay fiber, you just do this and it can

584
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: transmit data at speeds up to twenty gigabits per second.

585
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: That's very fast over distances of up to twenty kilometers.

586
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: So twenty kilometers to miles is what twelve miles, So

587
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: these stations have to be twelve miles apart. But it's fascinating.

588
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: I think probably if I had to guess, the downside

589
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: is the cost.

590
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: So it's fast, but it's okay. It requires a.

591
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: Clear line of sight between terminals, and performance can be

592
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: affected by weather conditions like fog and heavy rain. So

593
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: that's an interesting sort of idea, and I think the

594
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: bottom line is that it's probably expensive. It's probably right

595
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: now being used in it looks like it's being used

596
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: in a couple places India, Kenya, Fiji.

597
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: But I think the thing.

598
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: About here in the US is that we have pretty

599
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: good coverage with our internet systems that we have, right,

600
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: especially when you look at something like Starlink that's now

601
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: covering I guess the whole US all at once, right,

602
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: So I think this kind of solution in the future,

603
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's going to start with places

604
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: that are really tricky for putting wires in, and then

605
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: I think eventually this will probably be a good alternative

606
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: to either satellite or when the cost gets cheap enough,

607
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: people will have it.

608
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: It's funny. This reminds me of when I was in.

609
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: College, they had a TV service that was sort of

610
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: like an alternative to the standard cable service that was beamed.

611
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: They had to put as little special antenna, like it

612
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: was almost like an RF antenna on your roof, and

613
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: then somehow the cable service was beamed to that antenna

614
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: and it was from I think it was from pack

615
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: Bell Pacific Bell back in the day, and I thought

616
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: it was like the coolest thing. So of course I

617
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: called them up to try to get this installed in

618
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: my apartment at college, and they came out and put

619
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: the thing on the roof. They're like, now it's not

620
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: going to work here because you need a direct line

621
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: of sight. So that's a fascinating solution, Edward, and I

622
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: think that it holds a lot of promise, but the

623
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: reality is I think the the I guess it's a

624
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: rival to starlink. I mean, that's really what it sounds

625
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: like to me. So I guess it comes down to

626
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: which is cheaper, which is faster, and which one's easier

627
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: for the people that need it. Great question. Thanks for

628
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: the call today eighty eight rich one O one eight

629
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

630
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: All right, I gotta tell you about this because I've

631
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: been mentioning it, but this is really interesting. So there's

632
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: a new cash back rewards program in the US. It's

633
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: called shop Back shop Back, and apparently this is very

634
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: popular in Asia and some other countries, but now they

635
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: just came to the US.

636
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: And it's sort of like you know.

637
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: Those other things that you see out there, like the honey,

638
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: the cash back things, the two ken However, you say

639
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: that racketin I think, But what makes it different is

640
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: that it is giving you money back on.

641
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: Your Amazon orders, which is pretty wild.

642
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: So Shotback was founded in Singapore and twenty fourteen, they've

643
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: got over fifty million users in thirteen countries. They're headquarters

644
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: here in Austin, Texas, and they've got over two thousand

645
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: brands on their platform, including, like I said, Amazon, Walmart, Expedia, Macy's, Uber, Cole's, CVS,

646
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: Door Dash and more. But it's the only platform that

647
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: offers a dollar cash back per Amazon transaction. So I

648
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: installed this, I signed up, and I did my first

649
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: Amazon order and I got my little emails yesterday or

650
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: this morning.

651
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: Let's see, let me let me find it shot back.

652
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it says your your cash back is tracked one

653
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: dollar coming your way from your Amazon order, and so

654
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: once they get the final confirmation, they'll give you the money.

655
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: So if you go to this website, I'll put the

656
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: link online. Rich on tech dot tv. But they've got

657
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the big companies on there, and they

658
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: also Okay, so the other thing they do are these quests,

659
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: and they sort of gamify shopping. So right now, they've

660
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: got this quest earn ten dollars when you spend two

661
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: hundred dollars at any store. And then they got five

662
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: dollars on your first browser purchase extension, so you have

663
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: to install a little browser extension. And then, of course

664
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: I looked at the privacy of this whole thing, because

665
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: I was worried about that. You know, are they looking

666
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: at everything you do online? And it says no, we

667
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: only track your data on the sites that we work with.

668
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: So when you go to one of our sites, one

669
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: of our stores, that's when it sort of comes into play,

670
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: and you'll see it'll spring into action. It'll kind of

671
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: highlight on your web browser and it will say here,

672
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: you're going to get a dollar here. Six percent cash

673
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: back on booking dot com, up to three percent on Expedia,

674
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: ten percent on Walmart right now for the next two days,

675
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: ten percent on eBay.

676
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: So they do a lot of these deals.

677
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: Half a percent on best Buy, and again you can

678
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: just cash out to PayPal after you have a minimum

679
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: of five dollars. So so far it seems really good.

680
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: The dollar on Amazon seems too good to be true.

681
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how that how long that's going to last,

682
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: if that's just sort of a grand ope celebration deal.

683
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: But hey, I shop on Amazon a lot, and let's

684
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: say you do three orders in a week, that's three

685
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: dollars back. Why not every dollar counts. So again it's

686
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: called shopback dot com. And I guess it's probably best

687
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: to sign up with my code because then I think

688
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: you get a bonus if you sign up with that.

689
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: So I'll put it in the show notes rich on

690
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: tech dot TV. But hey, I mean, I'm impressed so far,

691
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: and I think this this competes against the other kind

692
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: of cash back shopping portals out there, like racketin. But

693
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: the thing about them is I don't think they do

694
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: anything with Amazon that used to be called Ebates yep,

695
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: and anyway, so check it out. I'll put out the

696
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: website rich on Tech dot tv shopback dot com. All right,

Speaker 1: tap the episode number one twenty one that has links

708
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: to everything I mentioned on the show, including that cash

709
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: back shopping site I just mentioned called shop Back. A

710
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: lot of you going there to get that information. Steve

711
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: writes in about the laser Internet won't work. Need to

712
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: establish line of site permits, so no one builds a

713
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: house in your path. Just like a microwave link, if

714
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: you place the transmitter on a hill and put the

715
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: receiver on your community roof, then you could route the

716
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: data via ethernet for the last mile. Good for a building,

717
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: not so good for a home, as the density would

718
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: need a rather large broad beam to cover multiple addresses

719
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: in a general area. Good point, Steve, Yeah, I think

720
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: that goes into what I was saying, where this is

721
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: much more specialized internet connections, like in a very area

722
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: that wants to get high speed internet. That's why it

723
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: seems like they're using it in different countries. First off,

724
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: you're going to see some changes. FTC's new rule on

725
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: unfair or deceptive fees is now in effect. This primarily

726
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: affects tickets for concerts, sports plays, also hotels and vacation rentals.

727
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: I was not aware that the hotels and vacation rentals

728
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: had to show all these fees up front now, and

729
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: sure enough, it just did a quick search on one

730
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: of the travel websites and yeah, all those annoying resort

731
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: fees are now included in the full price. So companies

732
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: selling event tickets or lodging short term lodging must show

733
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: the real price upfront, no more hidden charges. All required

734
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: fees must be included in the price you see first.

735
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: So if extra fees like taxes are shipping, can't be

736
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: calculated upfront. Sellers have to disclose them before you pay.

737
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: So the goals to make everything more transparent. Companies can

738
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: will charge these annoying fees, they just have to be

739
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: much more upfront about it.

740
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 2: So this is a great thing.

741
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: How many times have you searched for concert tickets or

742
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: a hotel room and it's a super low price on

743
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: the front end, and all of a sudden you get

744
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: to the checkout page and you know, another one hundred

745
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: dollars or two hundred dollars of all these added fees,

746
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: and so it's going to be a lot more helpful. Now,

747
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: let's say you're buying tickets for a sports game and

748
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: you say, I don't want to spend one hundred bucks. Well,

749
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: if you're looking for one hundred dollars tickets, by time

750
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: you get to the end, that one hundred dollars tickets

751
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: one fifty, two hundred whatever. Now you can finally say, okay,

752
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: here's one hundred dollars ticket. When I get to the end,

753
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be one hundred dollars. That is nice hotels,

754
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, how many times you know, especially

755
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: with these Vegas hotels, you know ninety nine dollars for

756
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: the night. By time you get to the end, the

757
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: resort fee is fifty bucks half the price of the hotel.

758
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: And the reason they did this is because all these

759
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: sites like Kayak, these aggregator sites that just kind of

760
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: list everything.

761
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 2: What do you think people do when they go to

762
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 2: a travel website.

763
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: They sort hotels by cheapest to most expensive, and what

764
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: do they do They look at the cheapest one. So

765
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: if that cheap hotel was one hundred and fifty dollars

766
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: for the night, you don't take into consideration the extra

767
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: seventy five dollars they're charging you in fees. Until you

768
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: get to the end, you're all invested. You're like, ah,

769
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: it's fine, I'll just do that now. The one place

770
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: I think they should have enacted this, which they did not,

771
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: is the airlines. It is really frustrating with the airlines,

772
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: especially when you're on a Google flight search and let's

773
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: say you're going, you know, from here to wherever, and

774
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: you've got this super cheap fare from one of these

775
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: budget airlines like a Spirit or a Frontier, and I'm

776
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: not you know, singling them out saying they're bad. I

777
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: think it's great that we have these options. The problem

778
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: is that they're showing you this fair that you know

779
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: it's eighty to extra dollars to bring a carry on,

780
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: and you don't see that up front. So I think

781
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: there needs to be a little bit more transparency there

782
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: at the airlines, because again, what do people do. They're searching.

783
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: Unless you're a power traveler that's you know, a certain

784
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: airline that you're always going on, most people are just

785
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: searching for their destination and sorting by price, and they're

786
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: picking the first flight that's the cheapest.

787
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 2: Then they're surprised at check out.

788
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: And some of these airlines I've noticed because I've taken

789
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: some of them, they do not give you all the

790
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: final fees and add ons until the very end, after

791
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: you're so invested, you've put all your information in, all

792
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: of your passenger information, all of your personal data, your

793
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: your credit card and all that stuff, and then finally

794
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: the last screen they're like, oh, by the way, here's

795
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: how much you have to pay for all this stuff.

796
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: So it's a start.

797
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: I think it's good, but I think that there can

798
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: be more that could be done. Let's go to JP

799
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: in Calabasis. Welcome to the show.

800
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 4: Hey, Rich, great talking with you. Hey, you know, I

801
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 4: had a silly question about a phone that's outdated, But

802
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 4: now I think I should be asking, is Tara the

803
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 4: new Bluetooth.

804
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 6: Is from?

805
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

806
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, okay, cool, Well, before you get into that,

807
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 4: I had a question about the s SE. He like

808
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: a special edition phone that and a lot of my

809
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 4: friends really still like, and they discontinue it. You think

810
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 4: they're just getting rid of it because they want to

811
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 4: bring on the swim phone. And I also had some

812
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 4: intel from my buddy who works at Apple. You told

813
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 4: me you're gonna hear it on this show first, but

814
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 4: they're bringing Apple walkie Talkie next year.

815
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: Mm okay, I have heard rumors about that, you know,

816
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: it's I think that rumor has been out for a

817
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: little bit with the walkie talkie, and you know they're

818
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: using this term walkie talkie. I mean, it's kind of

819
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: like the next Tell back in the day in a

820
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: blue bloop. But it's really just going over the LTE networks.

821
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: And there's a couple of services that already do this.

822
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: I think one of them is called Relay. Let's see, Yeah,

823
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: it's called Relay, and it's kind of like basically a

824
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: walkie talkie, but it just goes over the LTE systems.

825
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: And if you have an Apple Watch, they already have

826
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: a walkie talkie functionality built in. I'm not sure many

827
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: people use it, but if you scroll all the way down,

828
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: there is walkie talkie functionality on the Apple Watch. And

829
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: what it's doing is it's actually just using a FaceTime connection,

830
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: a FaceTime audio connection that is sort of staying persistent

831
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: in the background for a certain amount of time to

832
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: let you go back and forth with someone else. So

833
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: if you haven't tried the walkie talkie feature on the

834
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, it's definitely there. It would be interesting if

835
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: they brought that to the iPhone. I think that'd be

836
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: kind of fun, especially knowing that a lot of people

837
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: the young'ins I'll say, you know, my wife works at

838
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: a school, so she's kind of connected with what the

839
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: young kids are doing. But they're all using the audio

840
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: feature on I Message to send each other audio messages

841
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: instead of typing out messages. So it's almost like a

842
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: little mini voicemail that gets delivered to your I Message. Anyway,

843
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: I digress. You asked about the iPhone s. What's happening

844
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: with that, So the iPhone SE has pretty much been

845
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: replaced with the iPhone sixteen E and the iPhone SE.

846
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: What people liked about it is that it still had

847
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: the home button, but with the addition of the iPhone

848
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: sixteen E, it is Apple's cheapest iPhone five hundred and

849
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars and it is it's got all the functionality,

850
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: like all the latest processor and stuff like that. So

851
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: it's great and it's cheaper, but it's not the iPhone SE.

852
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: It does not have the home button. And so if

853
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: you still have an SE, I'm looking at the old ones. Okay,

854
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: so let's see here. SE second generation was Let's see

855
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: it was released five years ago April twenty fourth, twenty twenty,

856
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: and it's got it's still being supported, but it was discontinued.

857
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: So and I'm just looking at the website end of

858
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: life dot date. This gives you all the details in

859
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: every single phone to tell you how long it's going

860
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: to be supported for now, if you have the old

861
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: the old SE, the first generation that was introduced nine

862
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,959
Speaker 1: years ago, support for that just ended a month ago

863
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: March thirty first, twenty twenty five.

864
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 2: That was released, I guess let's see, here was to.

865
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: Say discontinues discontinued six years ago, six years eight months.

866
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: So here's a deal.

867
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: If you're if you're using a phone that is no

868
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: longer getting operating system or security updates, you can still

869
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: use it.

870
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 2: You can ride this thing out forever.

871
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna make calls, it's gonna send text, but you're

872
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: gonna have a couple of things that may not work

873
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: over time.

874
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: Number one, security risks.

875
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: You're gonna have security patches and bugs and things that

876
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 1: are just not available for your phone, or security patches

877
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: for bugs that are not available on your phone because

878
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: they're not they're not giving you that update anymore. So

879
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: you're not only getting not only not getting the new

880
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: operating system, but you're also not getting any of the

881
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: security patches. And so that's a that's a pretty big

882
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 1: deal because there are always hackers looking to exploit certain

883
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: features on the iPhone or any phone and use that

884
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: to their advantage to hack your phone. So if you're

885
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: not getting those updates, then those holes are wide open

886
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: on your device. And if you've noticed, on the smartphones,

887
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: we're getting more and more software updates, and a lot

888
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: of them have to do with little bugs and security

889
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: exploits that these companies are fixing. Sometimes they will also

890
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: impede your ability to download or update your apps. So

891
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: what happens is, you know, because there's so many phones

892
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: out there, the phone companies say, look, if you're a developer,

893
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: you only have to support up to operating system ten

894
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: or eleven or twelve or thirteen. Whatever it is, just

895
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: to make things easy, so you're not sitting there pulling

896
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: your hair out updating an app for three people that

897
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: use this old operating system, like there has to be

898
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: a cutoff somewhere. And then of course performance features all

899
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: this other stuff. Battery, you know that's going to degrade

900
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: over time. But yeah, you can use the phone at

901
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: its most basic core functionality indefinitely, as long as the

902
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: thing still turns on and the network still supports it.

903
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a pixel at home that my

904
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: kid was playing with, hacking on it, and you know

905
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: that thing is so old, and I fired it up.

906
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: I think as Android android ten, does that sound right?

907
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: But it's uh, you know, it still works, but everything

908
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: it's like frozen in memory, like there's it's not getting updates.

909
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: They can't update the apps it's just there. But I

910
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: tried to connect it to the Wi Fi and it

911
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: worked and it you know, just understand the security risks

912
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: of things like this. Eighty eight rich one O one

913
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

914
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: Coming up YouTube changing how ads work. You're now going

915
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: to see commercials right after the most exciting moments in

916
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: a video I'll explain. Coming up right here, I'm Rich

917
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: on Tech. Let's go to Vivian and Murrietta.

918
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 9: So I have a question. So I recently got an

919
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 9: email from I mean, I tried to get into my

920
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 9: Yahoo email account I've had for fifteen years with no problems.

921
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 9: They asked for my password. I put the password and

922
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 9: it's it denied it. So then it for me to

923
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 9: change the password. They are sending me a link to

924
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 9: my driver's to my phone. I never got that, so

925
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 9: when and I tried several times, it would never give

926
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 9: me that access code. So then I called y'allhoo a

927
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 9: hunter number, and they want want to charge me a

928
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 9: fee to help me and two which I paid and

929
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 9: then when they sent I'm sorry, I paid it, but

930
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 9: then I uh, it didn't go through because I fought

931
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 9: them on that okay, So then.

932
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: When they how much do they charge you? How much

933
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: do they charge you?

934
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 9: Charged me eighty two dollars, eighty.

935
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: Two dollars for customer support.

936
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 9: Eighty two dollars for support just to change my password?

937
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: What, okay?

938
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 9: Whatever? I called my bank.

939
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 2: You disputed the charge. I'm sorry you disputed the charge.

940
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 6: Afterwards, I disputed the charge.

941
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 9: But in the meantime, so I called back a second

942
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 9: time and they helped me. But they want to send

943
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 9: me a link to prove who I am. I have

944
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 9: to I send them. The link requires me to take

945
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 9: a picture of my driver's license, the front and the back. Sure,

946
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 9: And at that point I tried to do it by

947
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 9: by kind of blocking my information so they could just

948
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 9: get my picture and my name. It wouldn't accepse.

949
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 2: No, it won't take it if it doesn't show that.

950
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 9: No, this is fraud, right.

951
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 2: Well, not necessarily.

952
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: So these companies, these tech companies do and and this

953
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: is I'm glad that you're you're on alert with this, Vivian,

954
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: because you know, these hackers do try to trick us

955
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: into doing things like this. But the big tech companies,

956
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: and I've seen it, they do require sometimes identification like

957
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: you're talking about. And so sometimes, like with Facebook, if

958
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: you're if you're locked out, they will have you sort

959
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: of hold your driver's license up in front of a

960
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: video camera on your webcam and do a screenshot like

961
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: that and like make sure it's you. So it's not

962
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: out of the realm that Yahoo is trying to protect

963
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: your account in this way. And you have to understand

964
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 1: where they're coming from. You've lost access to this account.

965
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: You're saying it's mine, and you're trying to regain access,

966
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: and you know, once you have control of someone's email account,

967
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: there are many things you can do with that. You

968
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: can go in there and do password resets and all

969
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff and access all kinds of information. So

970
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: they want to keep this account private. Now, how do

971
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: you know that the link where you're sending the license

972
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: is legitimate? Is it a Yahoo link?

973
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 9: I don't remember right now because I kind of got scared, Okay,

974
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 9: so I don't have it in front of me to

975
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 9: know if it's lishit or not. And I got just

976
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 9: scared because you're right, it could be true. But with nowadays,

977
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 9: with everything being so, you know, so many scammers, and

978
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 9: the thing is they didn't try to verify my who

979
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 9: I am by asking me questions that only I would know.

980
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 9: They didn't ask me that to begin with.

981
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: Well, they may not have that because you know, don't

982
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: forget when you sign up for this email account, you

983
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: don't really need much to sign up. They're not asking

984
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: for your mother's maide name, or your social or you know,

985
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: all this identifying information that a bank would, so they

986
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: don't really have anything on you. Now, when you're trying

987
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: to reset this password, are you doing it from a

988
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: device that you've used before, because a lot of times

989
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: these these tech companies get spooked when you're logging in

990
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: from a different device and you're trying to reset your password.

991
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: So if you tried doing this from the place where

992
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: you always use this Yahoo account, I did, okay, and

993
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: it still wouldn't take.

994
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 9: And so the thing also that scared me was when

995
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 9: they were trying to send me a link to you know,

996
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 9: with a code, it wouldn't go through to my cell phone.

997
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 9: But when they sent me a link to the same

998
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 9: cell phone to put my to take a picture on

999
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 9: my driver's ices, that went through.

1000
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 3: Okay, And that was the only thing.

1001
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 9: That kind of like that was the red flag for me.

1002
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 9: But again, I can't prove that it was not legit

1003
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 9: or legit, but it just kind of That's what scared me, Like, wait,

1004
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 9: one thing in and going through, but the thing that

1005
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 9: you need for me is going through. That doesn't make right.

1006
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 2: I would agree with that.

1007
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: So look, I mean, I think at the end of

1008
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: the day, I think that you're very smart to be

1009
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: on guard with this stuff, and I think you do

1010
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: need to be on your toes. What I would do

1011
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: is I would try this process again. You already paid

1012
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: the money. Even though you've disputed it, you probably still

1013
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: have a little bit of access to this premium service.

1014
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: I would call back and say, look, I need to

1015
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: do this. Make sure you're calling the number that's on

1016
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 1: the Yahoo help page, do not just dial a random number.

1017
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: And make sure all those incoming texts and links are

1018
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: going to a Yahoo site. That's what I would do

1019
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: to regain access. This is rich on Tech.

1020
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 2: Joining me.

1021
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,680

Speaker 2: What a busy, busy travel time it is is.

1024
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: I know people thinking about summer trips and all this stuff,

1025
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: but oh my gosh, this whole situation with the air

1031
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 2: There's another one.

1032
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: There's a movie called Mannekin that they were like where

1033

00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 5: Especially Lax. I mean, and if you're playing between LA

1055
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 5: and New York, you always.

1056
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 6: See a celebrity always.

1057
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Newark number one. What's the latest on that?

1058
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, should people be concerned, should they be rerouting

1059
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: or what I flew in there? I had no problem,

1060
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: but obviously I understand the concern.

1061
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 7: What time?

1062
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 5: What time of day? Would your flight? Was it in

1063
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 5: the morning?

1064
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,280
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I don't remember.

1065
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're going to do it, do it

1066
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 5: in the morning.

1067
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 2: Okay.

1068
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 5: I would I say avoid Newark?

1069
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 10: I say void Newark anytime, but especially now with what's

1070
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 10: going on with these air traffic controllers. I mean they're

1071
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 10: down to three and at times, so it's really for

1072
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 10: the delays.

1073
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 5: Although I did see some posts.

1074
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 10: On social media where if you want to have an

1075
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 10: empty seat next to you. There was a lady who

1076
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 10: just filmed the whole flight LA to New York to

1077
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 10: LA and the plane was empty, but they were sitting

1078
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 10: on the runway for hours.

1079
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's that's the thing. Like for our

1080
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: flight going in it was no problem. But yeah, there's

1081
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: like a twenty minute delay. And then coming home they said, look,

1082
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: we're like fifteen in line to take off because they

1083
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: have to space out the planes further just in case

1084
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: the you know, the floppy disk system goes down for

1085
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: ninety seconds and they have to like you'd be like,

1086
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: all right, let's let that plane get out before we

1087
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: put another one behind them.

1088
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 5: Theme is not bad?

1089
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 2: What's that the theme?

1090
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 5: I would take that any day at no work.

1091
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, but this is the thing is, Look,

1092
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: new Jersey gets a bad rap to begin with.

1093
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 2: This is not helping.

1094
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, I've flown in and on Newark many many times,

1095
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: and you know, with a new a terminal, it's a

1096
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: beautiful experience. It's got a lot of Jersey pride. But

1097
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, and I understand, Look, I travel a lot.

1098
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: You travel a lot. Like people that don't travel a lot,

1099
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: they don't want to be hearing that there's a problem

1100
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: with air traffic control.

1101
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?

1102
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 10: All right, listen, safety wise, you're gonna be okay. If

1103
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 10: it keeps going on, we'll see, but right now it's fine.

1104
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 10: I mean all the planes I spoke to have many

1105
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 10: friends that are captains, right, Like, listen, all our planes

1106
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 10: are outfitted with all kinds of safety things. If the

1107
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 10: air traffic goes down, we still can space out, So

1108
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 10: there's no problem there.

1109
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 5: It's just really for convenience. I mean, Sean Duffy, who's

1110
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 5: ahead of the.

1111
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 10: Secretary Secretary of Transportation, you know, he just had his

1112
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 10: wife change her flight from Newark to La Guardian.

1113
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 5: So, I mean that tells you everything right there. Although

1114
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'd go to Laguardian.

1115
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 10: I look at the Yeah, I just look at the

1116
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 10: traffic between Newark and LaGuardia. It's only like thirty miles

1117
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 10: or not even thirty miles, and it was an hour

1118
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 10: and a half. You could go to Philly, which is

1119
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 10: ninety miles, and it was it was less time.

1120
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: Yeah Philly, Yeah, I went in doubt. Just walk, you know,

1121
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: just just walk to your destination. Okay, So, speaking of

1122
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: all the airline situation, airline complaints hit a record high

1123
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: last year. Why do you think people are unhappy with

1124
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: airlines and how can they get better? Results when filing

1125
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: a complaint. I mean, I know, use chatch ebt to

1126
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:02,479
Speaker 1: write your letter.

1127
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 5: Definitely.

1128
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 10: The problem with the problem with passengers is that no

1129
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 10: matter what I don't know, some people just they're just

1130
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 10: not grateful. I mean, when I get on a plane,

1131
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 10: I'm like, oh my god, can you believe I'm flying

1132
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 10: I'm going twenty five hundred miles and five hours? When

1133
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 10: you know, if my great grandfathers are around, they would

1134
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 10: take them months to do this, and you can have

1135
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 10: you can have the same flight and have different experiences

1136
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 10: with the passenger next to you.

1137
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 5: They'd be like, this was the worst flight ever. The

1138
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 5: other person to make it's great.

1139
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 10: But I think you know, people do not like to

1140
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 10: be delayed or have canceled flights, so you always need

1141
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 10: to have a backup plan. And they also don't like

1142
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 10: to have their bags gone, go missing or stolen. So

1143
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 10: don't check a bag. That will really alleviate a lot

1144
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 10: of the problems. And if you do check a bag,

1145
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 10: use an air tag and track it that way. But

1146
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 10: the best thing to do is to carry on only.

1147
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 1: I know so many of the travel experts recommend to

1148
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: carry on only, and I get it for a couple

1149
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: of days, but I know people that can go for

1150
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: like a week or two with a carry on. I

1151
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: can't do that, but I will say I think that

1152
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: the carry on situation is probably one of the biggest

1153
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: pro tips out there because it gives you the most

1154
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: flexibility to do whatever you need to do if there

1155
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: is a delay or a change, or you want to

1156
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 1: just stay later, leave earlier, whatever it is. It can't

1157
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: be said how important that is to just have that flexibility.

1158
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 10: I mean, when you do carry on, you can show

1159
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 10: up to the airport late, you go right to the gate.

1160
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 10: If the flight is delayed or canceled, you can easily

1161
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 10: get on the next one without having to wait for

1162
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 10: your bag or have the agent to handle all that stuff.

1163
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 10: And then you don't have to wait for an eternity

1164
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 10: for the bags that come out and if they do

1165
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 10: come out.

1166
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 5: And also you can take public transportation a lot easier.

1167
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 10: When you're traveling light, you can always shift your stuff

1168
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 10: if you're flying domestically.

1169
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: What's what's a Do you have a website recommendation?

1170
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 10: I mean there are Luglass is one of them, but

1171
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 10: I mean you can use FedEx ground just do it

1172
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 10: five days in the vans. Make sure your hotel is

1173
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 10: not charging a receiving fee, which some of them do

1174
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 10: now and or I mean what I do is I

1175
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 10: usually ship my stuff going home. I shipped my old clothes,

1176
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 10: everything that needs to be laundered. I don't care if

1177
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 10: it gets lost, and I just you just bring the

1178
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 10: bag to FedEx and they'll just wrap it right there.

1179
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 5: You don't need to do a box or anything. They'll

1180
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 5: just ship it like that.

1181
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, just do it.

1182
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 5: Just give at least five days in advance.

1183
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: I saw that United is rolling out it's starlink on

1184
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: some of its planes yesterday, right, yeah, So I mean

1185
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 1: this is going to be I think this is gonna

1186
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: be game changing. I had the chance to test this

1187
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: out on Hawaiian airlines. Now United's doing it. Has there

1188
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: been any other inklings of other airlines?

1189
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 10: You know, I'm not sure of that, but I mean

1190
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 10: I hear it's amazing. It's super fast. I mean some

1191
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 10: people say it's faster in the sky than it is at.

1192
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 5: Their house the internet.

1193
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 10: So I'm looking forward to that. And also it's a

1194
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 10: lot of these airlines are now gonna not stop charging.

1195
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild. So they're investing in it, but they're

1196
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: also not charging. But of course we know they're going

1197
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: to make it up on the fees on the back end.

1198
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean some some kind of new fee.

1199
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 10: They're making money. Yeah, I by American Aligne and they're

1200
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,439
Speaker 10: just rolled out. They're going to start rolling out free

1201
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 10: Wi Fi. But they charged an astronomical fee. I mean

1202
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 10: it's like twenty five dollars for two hours right now. Yeah,

1203
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 10: and United, although you know, if you have T Mobile,

1204
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 10: you always check to see because if you have a

1205
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 10: T Mobile you can usually get twenty minutes free or

1206
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 10: even four flights a year the Wi Fi free.

1207
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 6: So do that.

1208
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great tip if you have a Tea Mobile,

1209
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: if you have a T Mobile phone number, A lot

1210
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: of the login pages say hey, what's your Tea Mobile number?

1211
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: Put that in or actually, I've got a great tip

1212
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: that I'm going to share later on the show about

1213
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: kind of you can just connect to the messaging, even

1214
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: connect to the messaging, you know, real quick. Before we

1215
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: go the resort pass. Have you heard of this?

1216
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: This sudary? What what's the deal with that?

1217
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 7: Well?

1218
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 10: Listen, As a hotel guest, I do not like it

1219
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 10: because it makes a pool.

1220
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 5: More crowded, it's not as exclusive.

1221
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 10: But if you're a consumer, and actually, if you're a hoteler,

1222
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 10: you got to love it because you're generating more money.

1223
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 10: But if you're a consumer who you know, don't want

1224
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 10: to spend the five hundred dollars for a hotel room,

1225
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 10: they just want.

1226
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 5: To use the pool for the day, I mean it's great.

1227
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 5: I mean some of these charge thirty dollars a.

1228
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 10: Day, eighty dollars a day and you get in and

1229
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 10: I you know, I was done in a hotel in

1230
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 10: San Diego and I met.

1231
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 5: A bunch of people who were using it. This is

1232
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 5: years ago. That's when I first learned about it.

1233
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 10: I was like, what And anyway, if you just check,

1234
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 10: it's all around the world. You can check different hotels

1235
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 10: and a lot of them are even like five stars

1236
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 10: swanky hotels. They charge a lot more, but hey, you

1237
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 10: don't need to pay the big money.

1238
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: And okay, I know I'm getting the thing that I

1239
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: got to go here AI anything, I mean, are using

1240
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: AI to help plan this travel.

1241
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 2: I mean, people are just like all over this stuff

1242
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 2: with AI.

1243
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 5: I do use it obviously, I know, I know. Did

1244
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 5: I turn you onto the app? Flighty.

1245
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 2: I love Flighty. I yeah, So, I mean.

1246
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 10: I look at Flighty whenever I fly, and it tells

1247
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 10: you what you know, it predicts how long taxi times

1248
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 10: are going to be airtime, and I would take a

1249
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 10: screenshot and then afterwards see see how accurate it was a.

1250
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 5: Lot of times it's accurate. Not always, but a lot

1251
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 5: of times.

1252
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: It is, okay, Flighty And then they I wish it

1253
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: was on Android.

1254
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 2: It's not on Android.

1255
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: So I tell people flight Radar twenty four is like

1256
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: the good alternative.

1257
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 2: Is there anything else you like?

1258
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 5: I use trip it, but that's a paid service plans

1259
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 5: a trip, but actually that's not paid. But that's I'm

1260
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 5: an AI.

1261
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 10: But then I use you know, I don't even use

1262
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 10: I use play aware dot com. But again that's just

1263

Speaker 1: to keep up with all these things that are happening

1276
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: during the summer. All right, coming out, I will share

1277
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: the tip that I have about accessing AI while you're

1278
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: on the plane. If you don't feel like paying for

1279
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Wi Fi, I'll tell you about that plus more of

1280
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: your calls a triple eight rich one oh one when

1281
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: we come back. Okay, I promise this the Gemini hack.

1282
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: So this is if you don't want to pay for

1283
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: in flight Wi Fi, you can still play with AI

1284
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: on your flight. This comes from Android Authority. They wrote

1285
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: this article about this little hack when of their writers tried. Basically,

1286
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: instead of paying for the Internet, you just connect to

1287
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: the Wi Fi and then you can use your messaging app.

1288
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Typically all the airlines are many of them let you

1289
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: use your messaging app for the Wi Fi. So if

1290
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: you're on Android, you've got Google Messages. Gemini AI is

1291
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: built in so you can just log in to their WiFi,

1292
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: do the messaging, and then start chatting with Gemini, and

1293
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 1: now you're not going to be sitting there surfing the web,

1294
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: but you can just learn about something, ask questions, get weather,

1295
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: travel advice. Where you're going all through text messaging. And

1296
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: if you have not accessed this before on your Google Messages,

1297
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: you can just go into your Google Messages in the

1298
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: lower right hand corner. There's like a little that kind

1299
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: of star, sparkly looking star thing. That's how you access

1300
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: Google Gemini and it says, hi, I'm Gemini and Google Messages.

1301
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: Chat with me to draft messages, brainstorm ideas, plan events,

1302
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: or simply have a fun conversation. If you're not on

1303
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Android and you want to do something similar, a similar

1304
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: hack is to use that text dot Ai service I

1305
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: told you about a couple shows ago. This just works

1306
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: on over any text messaging, so you literally just text

1307
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: the phone number and it will reply back. It's usually

1308
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: like I'm guessing it's using some sort of version of

1309
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: chat GBT or something, but it's kind of cool because

1310
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: you can say, like, you know, I want a movie,

1311
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: your recommendation, You can ask questions, but you go to

1312
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: text dot ai and then you can just start a

1313
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: text chat and it works on Telegram and WhatsApp as well,

1314
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: and you can add it to your group tex So

1315
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: if you want to add it to a text with

1316
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: your friends, that could be kind of funny. I don't

1317
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: know why you'd want to do that, but you could.

1318
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: Let's see here Coinbase. Coinbase was sort of quasi hacked,

1319
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: so criminals targeted their overseas coinbased tech support agents with

1320
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: bribes and they ended up getting access to some of

1321
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: the coinbased systems and they got customer data. Not a

1322
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: lot of users, less than one percent, but if it's you,

1323
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: it still matters. The data they got includes names, addresses,

1324
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: phone numbers, emails, social security number, and bank account details.

1325
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: But it was all masked so they didn't get the

1326
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: full numbers. They just got a portion of the numbers,

1327
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: also ID images and account history. Then these hackers went

1328
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: to coinbase and said, look, we got all this information.

1329
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Passed twenty million dollars for this to go away, and

1330
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: Coinbase said, noah, we're not doing that. And so some

1331
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: of the customers who were tricked into sending funds because

1332
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: of this, because then the attackers went and targeted these

1333
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: customers and said, hey, we're Coinbase, you got to send

1334
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: money to this to make sure your accounts in good order.

1335
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 2: Whatever.

1336
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Some people did it, they were tricked and so Coinbase

1337
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:16,959
Speaker 1: said they will make those people whole again.

1338
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 2: They will pay to pay them back.

1339
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: Basically, so if you lost money in this hack, which

1340
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, not a lot of people, but some did,

1341
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: you were already notified by email on May fifteenth. So

1342
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: the notifications came from no dash reply at info dot

1343
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: coinbase dot com. So login credentials, two factor codes, all

1344
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: those private keys are safe. So they did not get

1345
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: that stuff. Let's see here, let's see. John in Denver

1346
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: has a comment. John, welcome to the show.

1347
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 7: Hey, thanks you helly are you?

1348
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 2: I'm doing well.

1349
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 7: Well if that happened now will You're talking about all

1350
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 7: those add on seas and hidden fees that the SEC

1351
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 7: now requires to be listed on websites, and you were

1352
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 7: talking about the airline aggregators, et cetera. And it got

1353
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 7: me to thinking to an app that I just got

1354
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 7: within the past two months or so called payback dot app.

1355
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 7: Have you ever heard of it or you didn't know?

1356
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 2: I haven't payback dot app p A.

1357
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 7: I Oh, okay, interesting app. And I'm fairly loyal to

1358
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 7: one of the major US carriers. I've got maybe five

1359
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 7: or six national and international flights this this coming year,

1360
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 7: and you basically send the take a confirmation number to

1361
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 7: this app and they will constantly track the fees for

1362
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 7: the same flight of flights, and if there's a change

1363
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 7: fee that's lower, they automatically get you airline credit or

1364
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 7: full refund of the difference and they take a small

1365
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 7: cut of it. And it is seamless. It is effortless.

1366
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 7: Instead of you going every day is looking to see

1367
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 7: whether your fare has changed prices, this does it automatically

1368
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 7: if you in the background and secures a better price.

1369
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting. So yeah, because there's no more change fees.

1370
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: So they basically would say, like, look, here's the instructions

1371
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: on how to rebook your account at the cheaper one

1372
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: and just get the.

1373
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 2: Or do they do it? Do they rebook it for you?

1374
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 5: They?

1375
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 7: Uh, oh, do not change the confirmation number. They did

1376
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 7: not change your sea dessignments. Nothing changes other than you

1377
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 7: get a refund of the fair difference.

1378
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 2: Okay. Interesting, And have you have you had this trigger yet?

1379
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 7: I've had I've got maybe five or six flights this year.

1380
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 7: Three of the flights have triggered I'd saved maybe three

1381
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 7: hundred dollars.

1382
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 6: Oh wow, myself and my wife and.

1383
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 7: And it's Effortless's the kind of thing you would normally

1384
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 7: be doing yourself and saying, damn I missed that. That's

1385
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 7: fair change.

1386
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I most people don't check after they've booked it.

1387
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: They've gone through all the trouble of booking and researching.

1388
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: They don't even think about it afterwards. But that's what

1389
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: Flight prices do change all the time. Do you know

1390
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: how much they take? How much do they take? Oh,

1391
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: twenty percent commission?

1392
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 7: Which again it's it's free money is whatever it is.

1393
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 7: It's freer than what you just lost if you hadn't

1394
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 7: added on the change free.

1395
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 2: All right.

1396
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: So the website thanks for that, John, appreciate it. Website

1397
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: is payback p AI B A c K dot app.

1398
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: This reminds me of another one that's called autopilot with

1399
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: autopilot dot com.

1400
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 2: Very similar principle.

1401
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: Again, this works best if you are a frequent flyer,

1402
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: but definitely something to check out. Let them track the

1403
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: flights and get you some money back. Eighty eight rich

1404
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: one on one eighty eight seven four to two four

1405
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 1: one zero one.

1406
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 2: Welcome back.

1407
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: To Rich on tech Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,

1408
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: talking technology. A couple of items before we get to

1409
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: the calls. Peacock right now offering a year of streaming

1410
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: for just twenty five dollars. So this is ad supported,

1411
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: so you're gonna see some ads on the movies. But

1412
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: what I like about Peacock I usually pay for it

1413
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: once a year, usually during Black Friday. I think I

1414
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: paid twenty dollars. This is twenty five, so that's still

1415
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 1: pretty good. Regular price is eighty, and you get a

1416
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: whole bunch of movies like throughout the year. You definitely

1417
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: will get your money's worth because Peacock is owned by Universal,

1418
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: They've got all kinds of big movies on there. I

1419
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: mean you'll you'll literally just fire up Peacock and be like, oh,

1420
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that came to streaming. So they get

1421
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff. So don't discount the Peacock anyway.

1422
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: Twenty five dollars right now, I don't know how long

1423
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna last. So if you're interested in getting that,

1424
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: I would go to their website and do that deal,

1425
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: and then Max is going to go back to being

1426
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: called HBO Max yeah, what the heck.

1427
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 2: So when this thing launched, it was called HBO Max.

1428
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Then Warner Brothers, I guess, merged with Discovery a couple

1429
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: of years ago, and they probably all went together and said,

1430
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: we need a new name for this. We got to

1431
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: reflect all the things that you can get inside this app,

1432
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: not just HBO Max. And they said, okay, fine, we'll

1433
01:07:56,640 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: just call it Max. Nobody liked that. Nobody ever said, oh,

1434
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: did you watch that on Max? Like literally everyone says

1435
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: HBO Max. And so now guess what. They're going back

1436
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: to HBO Max. Now, HBO Max does have a lot

1437
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: of brands. That's the thing about it is, I like,

1438
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: I understand their issue here. It's like I think they

1439
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: have like don't they have like Discovery shows on there too?

1440
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 2: Like they have so many, so.

1441
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Many different brands on there. It's not just like HBO stuff.

1442
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: So I understand why. Yeah, they've got like all these

1443
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 1: like HGTV shows. I don't know they used to have

1444
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: all the brands listed. I guess they don't have it anymore,

1445
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 1: but they used to have like DC. Anyway, HBO it's

1446
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: going back to HBO Max, And it's interesting. A couple

1447
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: of weeks ago they announced that they were changing the

1448
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: colors from the blue that they had to like the

1449
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 1: classic HBO black and white, and now it's just becoming

1450
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: HBO Max again. Anyway, this this stuff is wild, with

1451
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: this streaming stuff. Nobody like these streaming services change names

1452
01:08:58,400 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: so often.

1453
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 2: They got it.

1454
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: You know, once you get a good name like peacock,

1455
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: you don't need to change that. Let's go to Leo

1456
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: in Torrance. Leo, you're on with Rich?

1457
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 11: Hey, Hi, Rich, how you doing good?

1458
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 2: Is this the Leo that emails me?

1459
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 11: Or no?

1460
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 9: No?

1461
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 2: Oh okay, different Leo. Lots of Leo's out there. What's up?

1462
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 11: Leo used to listen to Leo the Ford.

1463
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, another Leo.

1464
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 3: Okay.

1465
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 11: My question is, well the setup. I bought the new

1466
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 11: iPhone sixteen E and then after buying it, found out

1467
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 11: and I went to the Apple Store. Well, I bought

1468
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:34,560
Speaker 11: it through AT and T, but I've got to the

1469
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 11: Apple Store and I said, how come my AV adapter

1470
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 11: doesn't work with the sixteen E. And the store manager

1471
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 11: had to look it up and he didn't even know,

1472
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 11: but he found out that it said it's not compatible

1473
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,759
Speaker 11: with the sixteen E. The little dongle.

1474
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, the adapter.

1475
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, and said, well, what's up with that? That wasn't

1476
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 11: in the say, you know, the brochure, because you know

1477
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 11: I bought it the the week before that you could

1478
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 11: actually pick it up, so I preset you I bought

1479
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 11: it on the pre sale and and that information was

1480
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 11: not available when we bought them.

1481
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at the website, all the specs.

1482
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: I don't see a word about that on here.

1483
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 2: This is nice to me.

1484
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I don't remember when we bought them the

1485
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 11: beginning of April or something like that. I've since called

1486
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 11: Apple and I've talked to Apple support and they said, yeah,

1487
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,600
Speaker 11: it does not have a V and I, well, is

1488
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 11: it going to And the person I talked to you said,

1489
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 11: I don't know it's that. I figured it's probably a

1490
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:35,719
Speaker 11: hardware function.

1491
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 2: I don't think they can add this via software.

1492
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 11: Well, so they said, your only recourse is to go

1493
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 11: to AT and T because that's who you bought it through.

1494
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 11: So for all the listeners out there, if you're thinking

1495
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:53,480
Speaker 11: about the sixteen E and you actually use that AV capability,

1496
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 11: I don't think you're going to be getting it. So

1497
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 11: I'm I'm a little bummed about that. The second thing

1498
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 11: is is I or being an early adopter. I thought

1499
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 11: Apple's designing their their own modem chip. Well, what's going

1500
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 11: to be a good thing. Well, I haven't seen any

1501
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 11: improvement in cell phone uh in the Yeah, it's I

1502
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 11: don't think it's any better.

1503
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: Well, they're they're big thing with the uh what was

1504
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: the speeds were faster with their modem.

1505
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 2: And also the battery life.

1506
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Have you noticed the battery life is pretty good though,

1507
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: Let's let's leave this on an on a positive note.

1508
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 11: Uh, battery life is is not worse than my second

1509
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 11: gen sEH, but I find it. I do have to

1510
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 11: charge it pretty much once once about every every day

1511
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 11: or every other day, I have to charge it. So

1512
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 11: it's it's not Latin. And I don't think I'm a

1513
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 11: big user. I don't think I'm on it that much.

1514
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 11: And there's a whole yeah you said, on a positive note,

1515
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 11: there's a whole lot of queer key things with the

1516
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 11: sixteen E. In the when you're text editing, it doesn't

1517
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 11: even seem to matter what app you're using, whether it's Gmail, Facebook, Messenger,

1518
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 11: the text editor is it just throws itself away sometimes.

1519
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 1: Leo, Leo, it's sounding like you don't like this phone

1520
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: very much.

1521
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:24,679
Speaker 2: What I mean, here's the thing.

1522
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: Look, I think the main thing about the sixteen E

1523
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 1: to know is that, yes, I mean Apple, I'm not

1524
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: going to say they cut corners on this phone, but

1525
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,440
Speaker 1: it is aimed at sort of the most baseline iPhone

1526
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: user that wanted. They basically wanted a phone where they

1527
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: could say, look, Apple intelligence is built into this phone.

1528
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: You're getting, you know a lot of the features and

1529
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: the latest processor, but if you look at the specs,

1530
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: there are a lot of little things that are not included,

1531
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: you know, like a zoom camera and all kinds of

1532
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 1: like you know, buttons that they just leave out because

1533
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, the screen. It's just like a lot of

1534
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: things are not as good as the the top of

1535
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: the line phones, whether it's a sixteen or the pro

1536
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: version and the DisplayPort thing. The fact that they left

1537
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: that out, I think, you know, it's definitely something they

1538
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: should have probably said in somewhere like I can't find

1539
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: it anywhere on their support page whatsoever. And so that's

1540
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: something that, like you said, surprised you. Now, if you

1541
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 1: go to the the Digital AV multiport adapter, like the

1542
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 1: official one that Apple sells and I know there's third party.

1543
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: They don't even list the iPhone sixteen on there, which

1544
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: is interesting. But of course Apple, you know they want you.

1545
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 1: They don't want you to connect this thing with HDMI.

1546
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: They want you to connect it with airplay, and that's

1547
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 1: kind of like there, you know, that's probably I don't

1548
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: know that would be their answer, I guess anyway, So

1549
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: are you gonna are you gonna return this phone or

1550
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: what you're gonna keep it?

1551
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 11: Well, I don't know. I'd have to go to AT

1552
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 11: and T and find out if there's if there's you know,

1553
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 11: some kind of a deal we could work. But there's

1554
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 11: a there's a lot of users out here that use

1555
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 11: a av for not just airplay, to like a capable

1556
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 11: TV or something. I go camping and I use a

1557
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 11: small projector and I use my SE all the time

1558
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 11: to hook up to the projector to throw it up

1559
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 11: on a white sheet on the side of my tent.

1560
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's frustrating. That is that is frustrating. I mean, look,

1561
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: it sounds like you need this feature and it's something

1562
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: that you really liked, and it sounds like it wasn't

1563
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 1: really clear that this phone didn't have this feature.

1564
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 2: This is the first TI I'm hearing of it. You know.

1565
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: The good news is, you know, talk to AT and

1566
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: T see what they say, see what the deal is,

1567
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: and see if they offer you some sort of olive

1568
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: branch here and trading in this device. I guess you'd

1569
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: have to go with the with the sixteen, which is

1570
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 1: a step up. Do you know if that supports it?

1571
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 2: For sure?

1572
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 11: Well, let me let me tell your users, tell you

1573
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 11: and the other listeners. I kept my old SE and

1574
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 11: when I'm at home, I can still connect with the

1575
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 11: SE to the internet, and I download my Netflix videos

1576
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 11: to my old SE which doesn't need self service to operate.

1577
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, when I go when I go camping, I

1578
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:06,799
Speaker 11: just use my old SSE as source.

1579
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: Oh that's not a bad I mean, look, that's not

1580
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: a bad thing. So, I mean, if that's if that's

1581
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario where you're trying to go camping,

1582
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: you've got the Netflix downloaded, I don't think it sounds

1583
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 1: like a terrible thing. Obviously it'd be nice if it

1584
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: was all in one, But in some ways that's a

1585
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: better set up, Leo, because you've got all your stuff

1586
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: on the device that's sort of insulated and isolated from

1587
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: your main device, which means you could still be on it,

1588
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: take calls whatever, while this thing's playing the movie on

1589
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: the campsite. So I mean, it's not not totally bad,

1590
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: but it is interesting the things you raise. So thanks

1591
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: for the mini review of the iPhone sixteen E. You

1592
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: do appreciate it, Leo.

1593
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, thank you, Rich. I love your show and I

1594
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 11: watch you on KTLA also.

1595
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you appreciate that. Enjoy, enjoy the rest

1596
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Here there you have it. So if

1597
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: you need to plug in that HDMI to your your

1598
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 1: iPhone sixteen E, that HDMI out, you know, if you're

1599
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 1: connecting it, something doesn't sound like it's gonna work. So

1600
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: eighty eight rich one eight eight eight seven four to

1601

Speaker 1: future of humanity and what comes after the age of AI.

01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:16,120

01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 12: Well, sir, how are you?

1609
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 2: I am doing fantastic? Welcome to the show.

1610
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 11: Thank you. I have a.

1611
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 12: Question about if he hasn't have any knowledge on how

1612
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 12: to get an old about a thirteen year old Facebook

1613
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 12: account deleted My wife and I at the time. We're

1614
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 12: now separated or been separated for a long time. We've

1615
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 12: used the account for maybe couple a couple of months,

1616
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 12: and since then we never figured out how to get

1617
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 12: access back to that account. Don't even remember what email

1618
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 12: we associated that account with. And I've been trying off

1619
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 12: and on for the past thirteen years to get this

1620
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 12: account to lead it using every option that Facebook authors

1621
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 12: and zero success.

1622
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: You've been trying this for thirteen years. Oh my god, Jake,

1623
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: but you get the award for persistence. Unfortunately it's not working.

1624
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: So let me get this straight.

1625
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 2: You've got is the okay?

1626
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Is the account a joint account with your wife? Like,

1627
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: does she want this to lete it as well?

1628
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 6: Or your ex wife?

1629
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 12: I'm yeah, I'm the original I'm the one that originally

1630
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 12: created the account with her permission, of course, but I

1631
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 12: did the whole setup and all, and we had plans

1632
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 12: to just ultimately get rid of our personal account and

1633
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 12: then use the joint account. But the marriage is on

1634
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,759
Speaker 12: the rocks. At that point, so we never even follow

1635
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 12: through with it, and since then it's just kind of

1636
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 12: a constant reminder that this page is there. But how

1637
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 12: do we even get.

1638
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 11: Rid of it?

1639
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh?

1640
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: Does it have like a picture of you guys, like back,

1641
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, in love, like in a little circle or

1642
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: something on this page?

1643
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 2: Like how terrible is that?

1644
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1645
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 12: It has like my name and her name flash the

1646
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:07,000
Speaker 12: name that we were.

1647
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: Married with, sap in the face every time you look

1648
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 1: at that, yeah, oh my gosh. Okay, And so are

1649
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: you like friends with people, like, like, can your friends

1650
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: still see this page?

1651
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 12: Yes? I mean a long time ago, some friends were

1652
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:26,720
Speaker 12: like sharing images to that account and that's like the

1653
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 12: latest activity, which probably would have been two more years

1654
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 12: after that account was made. But we've I've tried the

1655
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 12: ask a friend to help prove the validity of the account,

1656
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 12: and none of that ever has works.

1657
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 2: M okay.

1658
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: So the main thing is that you cannot You don't

1659
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 1: remember how you what email address you used to create

1660
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 1: this account?

1661
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think the email address. Uh, it was like

1662
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 12: another joint email address we just created on the fly

1663
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 12: to make that account. Uh, and then don't have any

1664
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 12: record that information?

1665
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.

1666
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: Okay, well, if you can't log into the account, it's

1667
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: going to be really tricky to sort of delete this account,

1668
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: because I would say, if you, you know, if you

1669
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 1: were able to log in, you just go through the

1670
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: deletion process and get rid of it. But since you

1671
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: can't do that, it sounds like, I mean, I know

1672
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: this sounds silly, but it sounds like you may have

1673
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: to write a letter and get it started that way.

1674
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, have you tried going through like this the

1675
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 1: standard help pages on Facebook, and that I'm guessing leads nowhere.

1676
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, because it wants me to I pin out the

1677
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 12: Facebook page that I want help with, but it keeps

1678
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 12: resorting to resetting the password to my individual Facebook page,

1679
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 12: so it keeps sending me.

1680
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 11: In a circle.

1681
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 2: Okay, well here's something.

1682
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: What about have you tried using like an incognito web

1683
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: browser or a different computer that's not logged into Facebook

1684
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: at all.

1685
01:19:57,560 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 12: I have not. That's an option I've never thought about.

1686
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: I would try that first off, because you know, if

1687
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 1: you're if it keeps so, what's happening is every time

1688
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: you try to do this, it's defaulting to your your

1689
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: Facebook account that you have now because you're probably logged

1690
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 1: in there or it sees that you know you're using that.

1691
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: So if you can do this from a separate device

1692
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: and say, you know, forgot my password, whatever, it should

1693
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: send an email to that original email. The problem is

1694
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: if that email address is not accessible or you're not

1695
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: getting that, then you're still not gonna be able to

1696
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: do much.

1697
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 2: But I would try that number one, and then you know, I.

1698
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,679
Speaker 1: Would just go through these these Facebook dot Com slash

1699
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: help pages and there's like a couple of things you

1700
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 1: can look for, and there's like, you know, there's all

1701
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: there's like things where you can kind of go through

1702
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: and see, you know, they have all these options for

1703
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: old accounts and deleting accounts. So I would look through

1704
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 1: and see if any of those fit. Doesn't this seems

1705
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 1: like a very unique situation and so you may have

1706
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: to just fiddle around a little bit there. But if not,

1707
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:57,799
Speaker 1: you know, you may just have to appeal to Facebook

1708
01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 1: with a letter and see if that works. I don't

1709
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: know if they even accept that, but you know, there

1710
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,799
Speaker 1: there may also be a legal like a legal section

1711
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: of Facebook's help account or help pages that you know,

1712
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 1: you can appeal that way. But here's what I would

1713
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: like you to do. Also, send me an email and

1714
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:16,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna see because I gotta I'm gonna

1715
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: reach out to Facebook and see what they say about

1716
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 1: this because it's a it's kind of an interesting situation.

1717
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,679
Speaker 1: So send me an email feedback at richon tech dot tv,

1718
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: and I will ping Facebook and see what they say

1719
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 1: about this, because this, Jake, this is an interesting one.

1720
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: Now you got my curiosity here, so I'll see what

1721
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: I can do on that.

1722
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 4: And okay, yeah, thank you for that.

1723
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 12: Then the problem is trying to get in contact with

1724
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 12: Facebook almost anyone is they don't even have people you

1725
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 12: can actually reach out through directly. So that's what I've

1726
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 12: been battling with Facebook many years.

1727
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: There is one little hack that people have been using,

1728
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: and uh, it's called the meta Verified for Business And basically,

1729
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,679
Speaker 1: you sign up, you pay like fifteen bucks a month

1730
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: to get access to a live human that can.

1731
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 2: Help you with your account.

1732
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 1: So you may maybe pay for a month of that

1733
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: and try to get you know, the chat support person

1734
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: or the phone number of the support person, and then

1735
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: be like, oh, by the way, I've got this other

1736
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: page I need to get rid of just to clean

1737
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: up my you know, online presence. See what asay. That's

1738
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 1: another thing that people have been doing doing that's called

1739
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: Facebook meta verified, So that's another route. But send me

1740
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,679
Speaker 1: the email, let me look into it, and definitely try

1741
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 1: to log into the account from you know, a browser

1742
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: that you're not signed into your primary account on to

1743
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: see if it can trigger that recovery code without going

1744
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 1: to your main account. Thanks for the call, Jake, appreciate it,

1745
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you can laugh about the the ex

1746
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: wife situation. Uh eighty eight rich one On one eighty

1747
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. Coming up,

1748
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about the future of humanity

1749
01:22:53,560 --> 01:23:00,759
Speaker 1: post AI. You are listening to rich on Tech. Joining

1750
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 1: me now is Steve Fisher, a futurist and co author

1751
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: of super Shifts, here to talk about the future of

1752
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: humanity and what comes after the Age of AI. Steve,

1753
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

1754
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 6: Thanks a lot, rich good to be here.

1755
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:18,600
Speaker 1: So give me a sort of a quick primer on

1756
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: the book.

1757
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 2: What's it all about?

1758
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 13: Yeah, so there's a couple things. We are entering a

1759
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 13: new age, last age called the Age of Machines. I

1760
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 13: did a whole thing on ages and eras, which is

1761
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 13: a social theory around the last thousand years of macrohistory.

1762
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 13: So we're kind of repeating the next cycle. So the

1763
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 13: next two hundred years we call the age of Intelligence,

1764
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 13: and what does that mean? Think about it like this.

1765
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 13: It's a fusion of human, artificial, and networked intelligence. And

1766
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 13: it's not just about smarter machines, which is for the

1767
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:50,719
Speaker 13: first time in history, we'll have.

1768
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 6: Things smarter than us.

1769
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:52,719
Speaker 2: That's scary.

1770
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know. It's about a smarter civilization.

1771
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 13: It's where intelligence becomes decentralized, is amplified and embedded into

1772
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:01,599
Speaker 13: the fabric of how we live, work and think.

1773
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 6: And I wanted to.

1774
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 13: Set the stage for there's nine super shifts that come

1775
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 13: across technology, generational structures, social theory. It's a whole, but

1776
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 13: think of it like this accelerated convergence. We know about trends, right,

1777
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 13: we know about the drivers of change. There's a larger

1778
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 13: set of shifts, and then there's multiple shifts that combine

1779
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 13: into this like very systemic type of change.

1780
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 6: What we've done in the book.

1781
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,799
Speaker 13: Is we look at the societal impact of each of these,

1782
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 13: the organizational impact and the impact on yourself, and the

1783
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 13: end part we really look at actionable ways to take

1784
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 13: advantage of this. I can get into that, but I

1785
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 13: know we don't have a whole lot of time today.

1786
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:52,520
Speaker 13: But it really gets into what we call spectrum futures,

1787
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 13: and this is about multiple simultaneous futures we live in.

1788
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 13: Things are collapse, things are transformation. And what we wanted

1789
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 13: to do with this book is we also wanted to

1790
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 13: give it some humanization. So there's a design fiction piece.

1791
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 13: The prologue introduces you to a family in twenty forty

1792
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 13: called the Sinclair's and they experienced this and you could

1793
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 13: almost look at this as what happens after the Singularity.

1794
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you know, yeah, explain with singularity is for

1795
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 1: someone who may not know.

1796
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, the Singularity predates you might have heard it from

1797
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 13: like Ray kurzwell, but before that, and I'm trying remember

1798
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 13: the gentleman's name. It really kind of came up with it.

1799
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 13: It's an acceleration of technology and every and a lot

1800
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 13: of other factors that create this single point where there's

1801
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 13: a transformational uh like even more than then a shift.

1802
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 13: It is a radical like radical change in all of

1803
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 13: what humanity can fit and really can expect to be.

1804
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 6: Taken advantage of and you know, I can't even do

1805
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 6: it justice.

1806
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 13: It's like if you look about beyond superintelligence, if you

1807
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 13: think about when you think about the changes in how

1808
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 13: we interact with the world today, everything will change, you know,

1809
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 13: every the It's that, yes, is it kind of star

1810
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,000
Speaker 13: trek in that way and that age of abundance in

1811
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 13: a way, but it allows us to really go beyond

1812
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 13: ourselves as humans.

1813
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a point of no return as well.

1814
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 13: Yeah, a bit of a bit of a point of

1815
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 13: no return. The design fiction piece. What it strives to

1816
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 13: do is that the family moves through weeks of the

1817
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 13: change and the shift that's happening in the world.

1818
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 6: You experience it through their eyes.

1819
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 13: So each shift you have kind of the beginning of

1820
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 13: the chapter goes into that, and the epilogue actually goes

1821
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 13: two hundred years in the future and we actually talk

1822
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 13: about the next that next age, which is that age

1823
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 13: of transcendence because people will be alive and kids now

1824
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 13: could be one hundred and fifty years old, they can

1825
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 13: live to see the entire thing.

1826
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 6: I think that's wow, that's radicals.

1827
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 13: It sounds radical, but in the same way, and you

1828
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 13: think about one hundred years ago, most people live forty

1829
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:03,840
Speaker 13: or fifty and now we live eighty ninety healthfully, right,

1830
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:05,919
Speaker 13: So yeah.

1831
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:06,719
Speaker 2: That's quite the thought.

1832
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:11,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, well okay, I mean AI obviously a buzzword today.

1833
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 1: I mean people are you know, people are already using

1834
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: it in their daily lives, chat, GBT, all these different things.

1835
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 1: How do you think that's influencing the decisions we're making

1836
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: without even us realizing it.

1837
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:25,799
Speaker 6: I think it's a question of critical thinking.

1838
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 13: I think we're My concern is that it's taking away

1839
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 13: the challenge of thought, the challenge of new thought, because

1840
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 13: there's an existing body of language, and if you look

1841
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 13: at it as a tool to help you clear away.

1842
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 6: Maybe some of the more mundane things to do the

1843
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 6: more challenging things.

1844
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 13: I think if that perspective is kept in a way

1845
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 13: to really push the boundaries of whatever profession you're in,

1846
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 13: the things that you're contemplating. The whole thing is that

1847
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 13: technology should, and even any type of not beyond technology,

1848
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 13: but any kind of change should allow you to have

1849
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 13: more space for harder things. And that's how we've you know,

1850
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 13: move forward as a as a as a as the

1851
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 13: human race.

1852
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 4: Right.

1853
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 13: I think right now, the challenge right now is that

1854
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 13: we are kind of co evolving with these technologies. You know,

1855
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 13: AIS needs to become a partner, not just a tool.

1856
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 13: I think people see it as a tool, but I

1857
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 13: think there's a lot more to it as it gets smarter.

1858
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,560
Speaker 13: If you look at six months, it's like a lifetime,

1859
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 13: right It's yeah. I mean, and you look at a

1860
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 13: year or two.

1861
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 6: It's generational. I mean, it's where it will be.

1862
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 13: My son is eight years old and he'll be the

1863
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 13: high school class of twenty thirty five.

1864
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 6: What will college look like then?

1865
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 13: Right In the book, we wrote a letter to the

1866
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:41,480
Speaker 13: eight children of the Age of Intelligence.

1867
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 6: We wrote a book to this.

1868
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 13: This two page letter kind of is the wonder of

1869
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 13: what is ahead for them and the hope that we have.

1870
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 6: It's a very pro topian book, not a the dystopian.

1871
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 2: That's good.

1872
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:55,839
Speaker 6: I you know, one of the things that I've.

1873
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 13: Worked on is, you know, in AI ethics is kind

1874
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 13: of creating like laws of AI, like laws of robotics

1875
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 13: in terms of how humanity can coexist in that way

1876
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 13: because we have to protect us as a human race.

1877
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 13: We can't have supercomputing think that we're the problem, because

1878
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 13: then that's that conjures up all the all the the

1879
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 13: movies of the last thirty forty years.

1880
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 1: Well, I guess, I guess that's a good question people have.

1881
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: You know, when these things get so smart, and I've

1882
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: said on this show many times that there will be

1883
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 1: a point when this AI is built into sort of

1884
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: a robotic form, human form, where now it's moving, it's

1885
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,439
Speaker 1: making decisions, it's it's making physical actions. Right like, right

1886
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 1: now you just type into it, stops typing, You're done.

1887
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 1: But when this thing can actually move and do things,

1888
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, is is that a concern? Should we be

1889
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: concerned about that?

1890
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 13: I mean, I think as long as there needs to

1891
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 13: be a set of ethical laws built into the systems,

1892
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 13: and you have to make it so that they can't

1893
01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 13: just remove it themselves and override themselves, because then then

1894
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 13: that kind of free range takes away any kind of

1895
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:08,080
Speaker 13: wisdom that we might have, you know, as the AI

1896
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 13: grows so much, the wisdom we have, you know, because

1897
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 13: intelligence without ethics is it's a faster way to crash

1898
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:14,639
Speaker 13: the system.

1899
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 4: Right.

1900
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 13: You know, we're not just asking this is in mortal

1901
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 13: words of Jeff Goldbloom. You know, it's because we can

1902
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 13: do it. Should we do it right? And how do

1903
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 13: we design for impact right? How do we just use that?

1904
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 13: So writing super shifts and as a futurist, you know,

1905
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 13: I help people think about the let you know, these

1906
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:35,639
Speaker 13: rates of change, and what's really interesting is that AI

1907
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:39,600
Speaker 13: right now is changing that length. You know, some industries

1908
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 13: take five, ten, twenty years to change, some some shorter.

1909
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 13: But people kind of watch the future happen and we

1910
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 13: have the perspective of history, right, you know. And I

1911
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,479
Speaker 13: think when you were living in it so fast, we

1912
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 13: feel the change. I think that's what's different right now

1913
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 13: is we're feeling in a visceral way and it's going

1914
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 13: to be very scary. So I think for us is

1915
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:01,880
Speaker 13: instead of being spectator, we have to be designers of

1916
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 13: that future. We have to take the we have to

1917
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 13: take the active participation. I think that's the bill. That's

1918
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 13: the opportunity for us.

1919
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 2: Okay, along that note, we've got about a minute left. Yeah.

1920
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1921
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: For people feeling overwhelmed by all this, I mean all

1922
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 1: this stuff we've just been talking about, all these changes.

1923
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 2: What's your advice to start adapting right now?

1924
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 13: I would say, don't fear it, engage it, start asking

1925
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:25,679
Speaker 13: better questions.

1926
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 11: You know.

1927
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 13: I mean think if you start small with things, you

1928
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:33,880
Speaker 13: can do things on a smaller scale and then engage other.

1929
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:34,800
Speaker 6: People to participate.

1930
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 13: And it's not just about the elites in tech or

1931
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,800
Speaker 13: other industries. It's about thinking about co creation. I think

1932
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 13: it's there's an opportunity to co create with other people,

1933
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 13: to be inclusive in it, regenitive. I think there's a

1934
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 13: real we have an opportunity for I think the first

1935
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 13: time in history, to really change how we.

1936
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:53,599
Speaker 6: Interact with the world.

1937
01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:55,560
Speaker 13: I think it's a real oper I think it's a

1938
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:58,440
Speaker 13: real opportunity and I want to leave people with that optimism.

1939
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:00,920
Speaker 6: And you know, check the book. I think you'll.

1940
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 13: I think you'd be encouraged by what potential is in

1941
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 13: front of us and what you can do, and.

1942
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:08,800
Speaker 6: There's actuable ways you can take advantage of it.

1943
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:09,639
Speaker 2: All right.

1944
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 1: Steve Fisher, futurist and co author of the book is

1945
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 1: Super Shifts again Super Shifts. It's available now. Check it out.

1946
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me, Steve, Thanks a lot. Rich,

1947
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 1: great great conversation, interesting stuff. Oh okay, let's go to

1948
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: break Rich on tech dot tv is the website we

1949
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:30,040
Speaker 1: want to link to the book, and coming up we

1950
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:32,839
Speaker 1: are going to open up the feedbag. These are the emails,

1951
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 1: the questions, the comments you sent me all week long.

1952
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:36,680
Speaker 2: We'll get to those right after this.

1953
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,439
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

1954
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. Now, time for one of

1955
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:51,320
Speaker 1: your favorite segments. We got a lot to get to,

1956
01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:53,880
Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna start right with it. This is

1957
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 1: the feedbag segment. Yes, it's called the feedbag. That's feedback

1958
01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:01,440
Speaker 1: plus the mail bag. Put them together, you get the feedbag.

1959
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 1: So if you go to the website to send me

1960
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 1: an email and it says feedback at richon Tech dot tv,

1961
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: yes that is the right email. People might think it's wrong,

1962
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:12,599
Speaker 1: but no, that is correct. Coined it many shows ago

1963
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 1: and it just kind of stuck. So if you want

1964
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:16,960
Speaker 1: to follow me on social media, it's at rich on Tech.

1965
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 1: The website to send in your message is rich on

1966
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 1: Tech dot TV. Mike writes in, as always, I enjoy

1967
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 1: the radio show, but I felt like your interview with

1968
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Tim O'Hearn, author of Framed, a Villain's Perspective on Social Media,

1969
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 1: missed an opportunity. He was obviously there to promote his book,

1970
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 1: but I wish you would ask why is his conscience back,

1971
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:38,479
Speaker 1: Where was his conscience back when he was doing all

1972
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:40,840
Speaker 1: the things he now criticizes, And why the sudden change

1973
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 1: of heart would have added a little bit more credibility

1974
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:46,479
Speaker 1: if that had been explored just saying Mike, I get you, Mike,

1975
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:47,720
Speaker 1: I hear you.

1976
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:48,719
Speaker 6: You know, don't I don't.

1977
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:50,720
Speaker 1: Always get it right, and so I will. I will

1978
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 1: do better next time. Don writes in I've been dealing

1979
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:56,880
Speaker 1: with phone and cable companies for decades. When we moved

1980
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 1: into our current home thirty years ago, I switched to

1981
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 1: Direct TV and never looked back. Yes, it's pricey, but

1982
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 1: I need the channels. I held onto my landline from

1983
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight and eventually added Internet through AT and T.

1984
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 1: Turns out they only offer twelve down and four up

1985
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 1: in our area, no fib or, no upgrades, and repairs

1986
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: were a nightmare. Texts needed to access polls in our

1987
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 1: yard and our neighbors, which is a scheduling hassle. Then

1988
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:21,639
Speaker 1: I saw a Spectrum truck on our street. They offered

1989
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:24,479
Speaker 1: landline and internet, so I switched. It's been ninety nine

1990
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 1: percent reliable ever since. Now use Spectrum for landline, internet

1991
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 1: and streaming direct TV for TV, consumer cellular for cell phones,

1992
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 1: plus satellite radio, Netflix and other services. I also pay

1993
01:34:35,479 --> 01:34:39,719
Speaker 1: for Equifax protection and software for our church. Total monthly cost,

1994
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 1: let's just say, I try not to look appreciate all

1995
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 1: you do, blessings do in your family. Thank you, don

1996
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 1: That was yes. Do not look at the amount you

1997
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,679
Speaker 1: pay on subscriptions when you add them up. I one

1998
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 1: time put all my things to AT and T. I

1999
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 1: had direct TV AT and T, phone line, AT and

2000
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:58,519
Speaker 1: T Internet. I got my first bill it was like

2001
01:34:58,560 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: over four hundred dollars.

2002
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:00,439
Speaker 2: Said, why is this?

2003
01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 1: It's the same amount I'd been paying, but it was

2004
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 1: all chopped up when I put them together.

2005
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 2: I said, nah, I got to cancel that. I can't

2006
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 2: do that anymore.

2007
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 1: Don't bundle teen teen rights in just a heads up.

2008
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 1: Verizon's new Unlimited Ultimate plan worked great for us on

2009
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 1: a recent trip to South Korea. No issues with phone,

2010
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: text or data, and the hotspot worked perfectly for my iPad.

2011
01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:25,000
Speaker 1: I love the show and I still tune in even

2012
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,479
Speaker 1: when I'm out of the country. Yeah, that Unlimited Ultimate

2013
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: is expensive, but it does include pretty much every perk

2014
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: you can think of, including that international roaming PAM rights in.

2015
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 1: When you rave about a program or app, please repeat

2016
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:39,680
Speaker 1: the name a few times and maybe even spell it.

2017
01:35:40,040 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 1: I was half listening while driving and missed the name

2018
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:44,759
Speaker 1: of the voice to text app you mentioned. It sounded

2019
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,839
Speaker 1: like talk to flow, but I couldn't find it online.

2020
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,679
Speaker 1: What is it, PAM. The app is called whisper wispr.

2021
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 1: You can check it out at whisperflow dot ai. And

2022
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:56,839
Speaker 1: you know what I do. Try to repeat names clearly

2023
01:35:57,120 --> 01:35:59,759
Speaker 1: on air, but I have to strike that balance between

2024
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 1: being helpful and not sounding like a complete commercial.

2025
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 2: If I just said, like.

2026
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 1: Whisper ai, whisperflow dot ai, go to whisperflow dot ai,

2027
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 1: you would think that's a commercial.

2028
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 2: So gotta be careful with that.

2029
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:12,760
Speaker 1: Thanks for the email, Bob, and Sacramento says, I heard

2030
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 1: your segment on staying connected while camping Just to heads up.

2031
01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:18,559
Speaker 2: Satellite internet gear can use a lot of power.

2032
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:20,680
Speaker 1: If you're in an RV or car, no problem, but

2033
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:22,919
Speaker 1: if you're hiking it with a battery, that's something consider.

2034
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 1: Also for folks traveling overseas, is Verizon sponsoring this what's

2035
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:30,800
Speaker 1: happening here? Especially for Verizon customers. You can switch to

2036
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 1: their Unlimited Ultimate Plan for a month and then switch back.

2037
01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:36,719
Speaker 1: It includes international service in over two on our countries,

2038
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:38,599
Speaker 1: but don't do it if you're on a grandfather plan.

2039
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:39,759
Speaker 2: One more tip.

2040
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,679
Speaker 1: My son often travels to South America and says everyone there,

2041
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:46,599
Speaker 1: including businesses, uses WhatsApp, so keep data usage in mind

2042
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 1: when planning your trip.

2043
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 2: Thank you, Bob and Sacramento. Good things to remember. Let's see.

2044
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 1: Russ writes in, I picked up an iPhone se from

2045
01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: track Phone for one hundred and eighty four bucks. Just

2046
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 1: needed something that works well with my Apple gear. The

2047
01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 1: bonus at home I can answer calls on my iPad,

2048
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:07,600
Speaker 1: iPod Touch or even my computer super convenient. Yes, the

2049
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: Apple ecosystem is excellent at that. And when I've got

2050
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 1: everything all fired up, when I get a phone call

2051
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 1: about twenty five things ring in my house, I'm like,

2052
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:15,760
Speaker 1: where do I answer this?

2053
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 2: Let's see.

2054
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 1: Mike from California rites in, I didn't hear you mentioned

2055
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:25,480
Speaker 1: a couple of things Apple and Google offer for smaller developers.

2056
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:27,320
Speaker 2: Both platforms reduce their.

2057
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 1: Commissions to fifteen percent for businesses making under a million

2058
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:35,280
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Definitely worth noting if you're just starting out. Also,

2059
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to tracking in app subscriptions. There's no

2060
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 1: easy way through their platform. The most reliable method is

2061
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 1: setting up back end services to receive updates directly from

2062
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 1: Apple or Google. A lot of small devs skip this.

2063
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 1: It leads to confusion about renewals and cancellations. Mike, good information. Obviously,

2064
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 1: you know this show is geared towards the average tech consumer,

2065
01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: but there are a certain element of folks that are

2066
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 1: in the development community and you know it community that

2067
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 1: do listen. So I always joke that they're listening to

2068
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:07,600
Speaker 1: enjoy the show, but also see how I do with

2069
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:11,840
Speaker 1: my answers as well. Matt from I told you we

2070
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:14,679
Speaker 1: had a lot this week. Matt from Queen Creek, Arizona

2071
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 1: writes in I always look forward to hearing your podcast

2072
01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 1: each week.

2073
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 2: Thanks for a great show.

2074
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 1: Last week you had a caller looking for over the

2075
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: year headphone headphones with bass base bass. Isn't it basse

2076
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:31,559
Speaker 1: pass base bass is fish? Yes, That's why I used

2077
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:33,559
Speaker 1: to catch when I was growing up Lake George. I

2078
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:36,559
Speaker 1: want to recommend Soundcore, a brand that hasn't been mentioned

2079
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:38,719
Speaker 1: on your show before. They offer an app to control

2080
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:41,639
Speaker 1: the base, treble and more. The Q twenty has great

2081
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 1: base base base Base, It's bluetooth and cost less than

2082
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:46,439
Speaker 1: fifty dollars on Amazon.

2083
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 2: Yes, Matt, we have mentioned that brand.

2084
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 1: Our expert we had on a couple of years a

2085
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 1: couple of months ago mentioned Soundcore always a good value

2086
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 1: made by anchor. Actually, Jase from Sydney, Australia rights in,

2087
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:00,880
Speaker 1: I was listening to the podcast of your show from

2088
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 1: May tenth, and I really connected with your opening about

2089
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 1: disconnecting from social media and the Internet. I just flew

2090
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 1: fourteen hours from Melbourne to Los Angeles with no Wi

2091
01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 1: Fi and passed the time listening to podcasts, including yours,

2092
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:16,600
Speaker 1: and I watched videos I downloaded. It was actually refreshing

2093
01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 1: to be offline and enjoy entertainment. I chose I'm flying

2094
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,519
Speaker 1: back next Thursday and plan to do the same. Yes,

2095
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm from Sydney, but flew out of Melbourne because my

2096
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 1: original flight was canceled. Thank you, Jase. I posted a

2097
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:31,639
Speaker 1: bit of that on my Instagram at richon Tech. Chris

2098
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:34,080
Speaker 1: from Troy, Michigan writes in, we frequently listened to the

2099
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 1: show from the Detroit area on the iHeart app. I

2100
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 1: really appreciate the tech tips and thoughtful analysis you bring

2101
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 1: each week. That said, I wanted to respond to your

2102
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:44,759
Speaker 1: recent comment about tuning out the constant stream of bad news.

2103
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:47,600
Speaker 1: While I get the intention encouraging people to focus on

2104
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:49,839
Speaker 1: what's right in front of them, I think it's important

2105
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 1: to acknowledge our responsibility as citizens to be aware of

2106
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,640
Speaker 1: and take action against injustice when we see it. Sometimes

2107
01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:59,000
Speaker 1: stepping back from the noise is necessary, but we shouldn't

2108
01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 1: let that become a reason to ignore the world beyond

2109
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:01,679
Speaker 1: our circle.

2110
01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 2: Thanks for the show and hearing me out, Chris.

2111
01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I said in my opening monologue that tune things

2112
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:10,600
Speaker 1: out when they become too much, don't tune them out forever, obviously,

2113
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:13,400
Speaker 1: and Daniel writes in your sermon at the top of

2114
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 1: last week's show was terrific enough with the devices already.

2115
