22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: positive online reputation. Well, welcome to you. Thanks for listening

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: on our stations across the nation and also tuning in

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: on KTLA Plus streaming the show. There, I got a

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: very serious topic to open up the show. This topic

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: is something that we all think about, we don't want

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: to believe, but it's happening, and it's true, and it

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: is about social media. It is changing the fabric of

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: our society, and not necessarily in a good way. Now,

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, there are plenty of benefits to

31
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: social media. You can keep up with friends and family

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: no matter where they are. You can raise money or

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: awareness for a cause. You can learn, you can network,

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: you can connect with others around the world world. Then

35
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: there's the dark side, endless scrolling through misinformation and fake news, addiction,

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: that waste of time, the mental health impact like FOMO

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: and anxiety, echo chambers, scams, and the list goes on. Now,

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: think about the way you feel when you're scrolling through

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: social media versus real life. On a walk through the park. Now,

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: on social media, you might think the world is out

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: to get you. You might think everything is wrong and

42
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: nothing is right. On your walk, you kind of notice

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,559
Speaker 1: the sun shining. How it feels great to be outside

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: and your goals for the future. Look back at your

45
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: phone and the sky is falling once again. Now, this

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: is the thing. We are not equipped for this level

47
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: of information as adults, and certainly not as kids. And

48
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: I have two of them. I know. Remember back to

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: your days in high school or college, how you felt

50
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: when you found out your friends went to a party

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: without you. Now, imagine that feeling times one thousand. Every day,

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: all the time you scroll, and there's always going to

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: be people going to better places, eating it better restaurants,

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: and hanging out with cooler people. This has been happening

55
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: since the beginning of mankind, it just wasn't in our

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: face every minute of every day. This takes a toll

57
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: on adults. Now imagine kids and teens with their underdeveloped brains. Now.

58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: I always say that social media is sort of a

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: highlight reel for people's lives. Right, They post the highlights,

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: They post the best things that they want other people

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: to see. My kid broke his toe the other day,

62
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: and guess what I posted on social media because I

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: wanted people to realize that life has its ups and downs.

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: It's not all the best stuff. So That's why I

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: put it on there. Now, think about the perfect Friday

66
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: night for kids around the US. It's probably hanging out

67
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: on their iPad playing roadblocks, playing Minecraft, playing Fortnite, and

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: chatting with their friends. Parents like it because the kids

69
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: are entertained and out of the way. What did I

70
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: do as a kid, Well, I wandered around my neighborhood aimlessly.

71
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: I walked to a friend's house, I biked around for hours.

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: I waited for a movie to come out in theaters

73
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: or play on cable TV. We literally could watch Wizard

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: of Oz once a year. I looked under rocks to

75
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: find worms, and I was bored out of my mind.

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. This sense of wonder and curiosity

77
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: about the real world around us has been replaced with

78
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: YouTube and TikTok shorts featuring fast talking know it alls

79
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: that use even faster cuts, so we don't tune them

80
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: out as our instinct previously told us to do. Remember

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: when you went to your family parties as a kid

82
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: and Grandpa would talk real slow to us. As kids,

83
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: we kind of thought he was off his rocker, But

84
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: guess what he was actually thinking about what he had

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: to say. There's an idea, and he also had the

86
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: real world knowledge to back it up. Now I'm not

87
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: just singling out Grandpa. Could have been Grandma, could have

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: been anyone in your family. All those people that you

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: sort of wrote off, You realize they did have something

90
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: to say, They did have world knowledge, life skills, life knowledge.

91
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: These days, everyone with the smartphone has a hot on

92
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: just about anything you can think of. Case in point,

93
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: this week, we had the real ID deadline and the

94
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: air traffic control situation at Newark Airport both came to

95
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: a head. And guess what I had to fly? And

96
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I was flying in and out of Newark for a

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: work trip, something I've done many many times. You know,

98
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm from New Jersey. I have flown into Newark dozens

99
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: upon dozens of times throughout my lifetime. This time it

100
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: was a little bit different because, according to social media,

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: I'd be met with planes falling out of the sky,

102
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: delays and cancelations galore, and passenger chaos all over the airport,

103
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: with almost everyone being denied at the TSA checkpoint for

104
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: having a driver's license without that new real ID star

105
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: on it. Now I had my passport, I was prepared,

106
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: but when I got there. I don't have a real

107
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: id when I got there. Guess what. Everything was calm,

108
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: everything was cool, everything was collected.

109
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: Now.

110
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: Yes, the pilots on both of my flights addressed the

111
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: situation and explain that we might be delayed due to

112
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: air traffic control shortage. But the entire trip there and

113
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: back turned out to be smooth sailing. In fact, we

114
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: landed early last night, which I can't believe now. On

115
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: my plane ride, I watched as my fellow passengers endlessly

116
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: scrolled through social media, seeing the same wild takes on politics, health, celebrities, money,

117
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: and recipes. None of us recipes will bookmark, but none

118
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: of us will actually ever make Yes, that's what we

119
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: do on social media. Back when I was a kid,

120
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: when I wanted to learn something, I'd open up the

121
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: World Book Encyclopedia, and if I was feeling super adventurous,

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: I'd sneak a section about the human anatomy. Now, I'm

123
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: not saying our world is not better because we have

124
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: instant access to twenty four to seven information about just

125
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: about anything. But now there's so much information we don't

126
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: know where to turn for trusted information online. Everyone has

127
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: a slant. Everyone has an angle, and we're not always

128
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: sure to aligns with our own and if it doesn't,

129
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: we might just say eh, never mind. Did I do

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: on the plane? I disconnected. I was done with all

131
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: my work, I had written my newsletter. I didn't have

132
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: anything to do, so I did not buy the Internet, which,

133
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: by the way, is so slow it's barely worthless anyway,

134
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: So I couldn't surf as some of my friends on

135
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: the plane were doing. So what did I do? I

136
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: alternated between reading a book, yes, a hardcover book, old school,

137
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: and watching a show on Netflix. Now, given the show

138
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: on Netflix was about how social media is impacting our kids,

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: so maybe that was on my mind this morning, And

140
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: even though the topic was heavy, my world felt light here.

141
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: I was in control of my little fiefdom, on a

142
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: comfortable plane ride high above the chaos of the information

143
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: super Highway, which, as it turns out, might be traveling

144
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: a bit too fast for our brains. It felt good

145
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: yesterday to just tune out the world. So my advice,

146
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: if you're feeling out of touch, out of control, and

147
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: like the world is falling apart around you, just tune

148
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: it out. Tune into yourself, tune into those around you,

149
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: and I believe it is a fail proof way to

150
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: feel better. And you might even smile and think everything

151
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: is okay. That's it. That's the rant, that's the thought.

152
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: It's very simple. Life feels very complicated when you're online

153
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: and scrolling through all this stuff. But guess what, disconnect

154
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: it and it all sort of fades away. Right now,

155
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: I have no phone number. I literally I tried to

156
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: switch my phone, my phone number to a different phone

157
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: than I'm testing, and it didn't take. And this happens

158
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: a couple times a year where my phone line just

159
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: goes into never never land. Now it's a little bit

160
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: dangerous because I've got two kids and they may need

161
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: to get in touch with me and I, you know,

162
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: of course my wife as well. But I tell them, look,

163
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: if you need to get in touch with me, text

164
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: me on this number, you know, my telegram. I don't

165
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: have a phone line right now. And guess what. Every

166
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: time this happens, it's kind of funny how all the

167
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: texts I get and all the messages that I miss

168
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: don't really mean anything when I come back to my phone.

169
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: But I can sit there with my kids at home

170
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: and just be connected to them, and it all seems

171
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: to be good. So I guess my thesis here is

172
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: when you're feeling like everything is just crumbling, that's not

173
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: necessarily reality. Reality is what's happening to you. Reality is

174
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: what's happening to your friends, your family, your world, and

175
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: what is physically and mentally happening to you. So just

176
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. I know it's tough, and believe me,

177
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: I love social media. I'm on social media, but this

178
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: year I did another thing. I unfollowed anyone I don't

179
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: know on social media personally, and guess what, not seeing

180
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: all the nonsense of the people trying to sell me something,

181
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: trying to tell me how to do things better in

182
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: my life has actually led me to be a little

183
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: calmer in my life.

184
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: Now.

185
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still have, you know, people that are doing

186
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: cool things on there that are cooler than me, but

187
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that because we know that's happening in

188
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: the real world. So just understand these things. And I

189
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: guess my bigger point about the kids is that they don't.

190
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: They're not equipped as we are as adults to sort

191
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: of have this perspective on things. And that's why I

192
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: feel like it's super important that we give them that perspective.

193
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: I was out of high school the other day and

194
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe the kids coming out of the classrooms.

195
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: The second they came out of those classrooms, what they

196
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: do They pulled their phone out of their back pocket. Now,

197
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: use an adult might do the same thing. I'm fine

198
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: with that. You're an adult. You can do what you

199
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: want in your life. But kids, they think that what's

200
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: on their phone is more important than what's happening in

201
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: real life in those hallways of school, and it's not.

202
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: And we need to figure out a way to help

203
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: them understand that that is not more important than what's

204
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: happening right in front of them. All right, that's it.

Speaker 1: Everybody'll want Yeah, I agree. What can I help you with?

229
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: All right? My eighty seven year old best friend, he uh,

230
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: he's got Exfinity for his phone sell service and his

231
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: Wi Fi. I suppose it's called anyway, he's got Exfinity.

232
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: He's got an iPhone thirteen Max Pro. It stopped. He

233
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: couldn't make phone calls out or in. He went over

234
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 4: it said what it was displaying was SOS SIM. He

235
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: went over to Infinity. They pulled the SIM code out.

236
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: It started to work. He went home. It stopped working

237
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: again when he turned it off. He went back and

238
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 4: they said, don't turn it off again. They got it

239
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 4: to work, but they said, don't turn it off again.

240
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: Go to Apple. Don't shut off your phone. And if

241
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 4: you before I hang up or you hang up by

242
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: the way, I just want to know what you think

243
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 4: of Sonic Sonic for phone service. What do you think

244
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: is going on? Does you just need to go to Apple?

245
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: I mean, he's eighty seven. He doesn't want to go

246
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 4: to Apple.

247
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: Uh okay, so a couple things, it sounds. So what

248
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: they did was they swapped out his physical sim with

249
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: what's called an e sim, and that is a very

250
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: stand way of getting serviced. At this point, I actually

251
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: think it's well, it depends kind of where you're on.

252
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: You know, if you're switching your phone a lot, then

253
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: a physical sim is better. But if you're not switching

254
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: out your phone, which I doubt your eighty seven year

255
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: old friend is doing, I think an e sim is better.

256
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: It's secure, it stays there, you can't pop it out,

257
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: can't misplace it. Why it's not working on Exfinity They

258
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: should figure that out. Unless it is a physical problem

259
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: with the iPhone, then you know this is this is

260
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: Exfinity's problem, not Apple's problem. So what I would recommend

261
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: is there is a feature on the iPhone called a

262
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: Network Settings Reset, and you can Google to find where

263
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: that is in the settings or just search and settings

264
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: for Network settings reset, and that will reset all of

265
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: the settings on the iPhone when it comes to your network,

266
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: and so that should If that does not bring this

267
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: sim back to life, there's a larger problem. It may

268
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: not be provisions properly, there could be some sort of

269
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: issue with the way that they set it up. But

270
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: typically if a SIM is on your phone, there's really

271
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: no problem with that sim. Like, once it's on there,

272
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't really unless it gets you know, unless it's

273
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: a physical SIM that gets bumped out of place or something,

274
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: the SIM is just going to continue to work. So

275
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: by the way settings general transfer transfer or reset phone

276
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: and then tap reset and then it says reset network settings.

277
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: So once you tap that, it's not going to erase

278
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: the SIM card or anything like that. It's just going

279
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: to kind of reset the network settings. It's going to

280
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: look for that Exfinity network once again, and hopefully it

281
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: should latch onto that. The other thing to check is

282
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: to make sure that the SIM is actually turned on.

283
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: So go into your settings Cellular and you'll see your

284
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: list of eSIMs. Make sure that your eSIM is toggled

285
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: on under Exfinity and that that should be pretty straightforward.

286
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: As for Sonic the phone service, I have never heard

287
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: of that. So I let's say Sonic, Oh, Sonic Residential. Okay,

288
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: it looks like this is an UMA type service. Okay,

289
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: this get Sonic voice service. So Sonic Fusion, you can

290
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: plug any phone into a jack. We'll work with Sonic's

291
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: phone service. Just plug your phone into the analog telephone

292
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: adapter which we deliver. Okay. So Sonic looks to be

293
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: an internet company. Maybe not in my area, maybe it's

294
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: in the Santa Monica area where you live, but yeah,

295
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: I think that's fine. It's basically just they're using what's

296
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: called voiceover IP, and so what they do is they

297
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: give you a little adapter. You plug that into your

298
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Internet connection via Ethernet or even Wi Fi nowadays, and

299
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: then your phone. You can plug any phone, a standard

300
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: phone into that adapter and it becomes sort of a landline.

301
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: But what it's doing is instead of using copper cables,

302
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: it's running routing all your calls through the internet. You

303
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: can do this yourself. I'm not sure how much Sonic

304
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: charges for this because they don't put the price ing

305
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: clear on their website as far as I can tell,

306
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: But and you have to looks like you have to

307
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: live in their area. But the alternative to this is

308
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: Umaoma and they work with any internet provider and you

309
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: can buy the box. Usually it's either free two one

310
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. You plug it into your Internet and you

311
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: usually pay about ten dollars a month for the service.

312
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: So that's an alternative to this Sonic situation, this Sonic

313
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: home phone with Fusion Internet. But the thing about Sonic

314
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: is that it's probably a bit cheaper if you're bundling

315
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: it with your home internet. So I guess my bottom

316
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: line is if you already have home internet from Sonic,

317
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: you can add the home phone and it's probably just

318
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: an add on like any other cable company. If you

319
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: don't have internet from Sonic and you have internet from

320
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: a third party provider, I would just check out Uma.

321
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Looks like they're on sale right now. It's eighty dollars

322
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: for the device and then phone service is zero dollars

323
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: a month. You just pay the taxes and fees, which

324
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: is about usually it runs about ten dollars a month.

325
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Good question, Susan. Hopefully your friend gets that stuff figured out.

326
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: I remember you from a previous show. You had another

327
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: friend that had an issue with their phone. I like that.

328
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: You're the neighborhood caller to the rich On Tech Show.

329
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for that. Eighty eight rich one O one eighty

330
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. I'll

331
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: tell you how you can get a piece of Apple's

332
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: ninety five million dollar Siri privacy settlement coming up. Welcome

333
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: back to rich On Tech. Eighty eight rich one oh

334
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: one eighty eight seven four to two four one zero one.

335
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: Apple has agreed to pay ninety five million dollars over

336
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: this Siri privacy lawsuit. We've talked about this before, but

337
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: now the claims period is open. So, uh, if you

338
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: have ever had Siri activate accidentally, even though you didn't

339
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: say her name, you maybe owed some money. So this

340
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: was a couple that said Siri activated and captured their

341
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: private conversation, which was then shared with a whole bunch

342
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: of people, and then the recordings were used for ads. Now,

343
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: I don't really believe that any of that was true,

344
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: but I mean, I know Siri did activate, but I

345
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,479
Speaker 1: don't think Apple sold it or anything like that. But

346
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: Apple has settled this case without admitting any wrongdoing. Of course.

347
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: So if you had a SyRI enabled device, and a

348
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: lot of you do between September twenty fourteen and December

349
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four ten years, you can file a claim.

350
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: Devices include the iPhone, the iPad, Apple Watch, the Mac,

351
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: the HomePod, Apple TV. You can claim up to five

352
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: devices per person. Payouts are up to twenty dollars per device,

00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: so that's one hundred dollars. Total. Claims are due by

00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: July second, So you might get an email. A couple

355
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: of people already emailed me and said, Rich, I got

356
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: an email about this, And if you don't have an email,

357

Speaker 1: you can still claim. It's Lopez Voice Assistant Settlement dot com.

358
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: I'll put the link on my website. Rich on tech

359
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: dot tv Lopez Voice Assistant Settlement dot Com. Say that

360
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: ten times fast. But yeah, this is it, this is happening.

361
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm part of this. I mean, how many

362
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: times have you been talking and Siri just chimes in?

363
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: It's like wait what and she'll just say something you know,

364
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, and it's like she'll just add

365
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 1: to the conversation. You're like, hold on now, I do

366
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: believe that Siri was is probably the most private assistant

367
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: out there. But yes, at a point, Apple was I guess,

368
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: reviewing some of the transcripts and recordings that people had

369
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: with Siri because they wanted to make the service better.

370
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: They have since now given you the option of whether

371
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: you want your stuff to go into that pile or not,

372
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: and you can turn that off in your settings. I

373
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: think it's off by default now. But yes, So ninety

374
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: five million dollars not a lot to Apple, but uh,

375
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: you know, hundred bucks, why not if you had this

376
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: happen to you. Uh eighty eight Rich one on one

Speaker 6: Hello? All right.

382
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: I was trying to sorry, I was trying to switch

383
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 3: to my earbud and it was a freaking organ so

384
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: oh well, so sorry. So I am totally blind, and

385
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: I use a screen reader voiceover, and I do have

386
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: it connected to my brother's by my eye said to

387
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 3: night bad, I'm just gonna kind of purpose this, so

388
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: I'll usually groom. I've started using groom really, But a

389
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: problem I'm having basically, do I have to allow people

390
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: full keyboard access for this thing to work? Because I

391
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: don't like like it's causing issues. My on screen keyboard

392
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: disappears a lot of times, and I have a bunch

393
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 3: of issues with that, and it's driving me up the wall.

394
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: And I'm just, you know, with language told be better.

395
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: Could I turn off full keyboard access and still get

396
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 3: the free step at gramary or just I don't. I

397
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: don't know, and I'm you know, and I have some

398
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: of the questions related to language Tool, but I just

399
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: I'm frustrated.

400
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: Okay, I understand, I totally understand. Now I've recently switched

401
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: from Grammarly to you mentioned language Tool, so I recently

402
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 1: switched to that. It's free, it's open source. You do

403
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: not have to grant grammarly full keyboard access. So if

404
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: you deny this, you're not going to get the full functionality.

405
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: But let's think about what grammarly does. It looks through

406
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: what you're typing, and it underlines the things that it

407
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: thinks could be corrected. So it does not require full

408
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: access to do that. It just would like full access

409
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: because guess what. It can now analyze the way that

410
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: you type, It can analyze the things that you're typing,

411
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: and it can do it in much more real time.

412
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: You're basically just giving more data to that company because

413
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: they're going to monetize on that data. They're going to

414
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: train their system them and make it better. So I think,

415
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: have you tried turning off the full keyboard access.

416
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: I don't try that yet, but I'm about to the

417
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: problem is that I'm you know, I'm a ditilliaris advocate,

418
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 3: So I'm doing a lot of writing and stuff related

419
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: to you know, blog entries for a website that me

420
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 3: and a friend run called Ohio Ohio Advocacy Heartbeat, and

421
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: I'm mostly doing me you know, there's some personal things

422
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: and then you know, emails and that kind of stuff.

423
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 3: And I also, you know, you know, I'm doing minutes

424
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: for as extra position I have. So it's just like

425
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: I do a lot of onto you of the personal stuff.

426
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want this, you want this to look and

427
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: sound right, and so that's I understand.

428
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: You can't you and I need organization too, Like, I

429
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 3: don't want everything to be in like twenty different twenty

430
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: thousand different places. I want some working, you know, some

431
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: you know, some structure. So okay, my minutes, minutes you

432
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 3: go into one folder, you know, blog posts you go

433
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: into that folder, and everything else you go into whatever

434
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: other folders. I tell you, I tell you, I tell

435
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: you you're going in.

436
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: I hear you, and I'm yeah. I try to stay

437
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: organized on my computer, but it's not always easy. My

438
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: question is have you tried Have you tried using chat

439
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: GBT at all to clean up your your documents or

440
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: make minutes or anything like that.

441
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 3: I haven't tried it because I know I have the

442
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 3: three point five model, and I know it's kind of

443
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: limited and things like that, So I don't really and

444
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: I don't really think I have the signage of resources

445
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: to swing a chat GTP Chat GPT plus membership for

446
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 3: twenty bucks a month, well a year.

447
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 7: I could swing it.

448
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: But here's the thing I don't. I don't think you

449
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: need to pay for chat GBT, especially for now. The

450
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: advanced model is going to have much more advanced features

451
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: and it's also going to give you more access. So

452
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: if you're using it a ton. If you're using the

453
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: free version, you're going to run out of some of

454
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: the usage, Like it's going to say after a while, like, hey,

455
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: you're using this too much, and you get some advanced features.

456
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: But honestly, they've given they've unlocked a lot of the features,

457
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: and they're now sort of just limiting it by rate,

458
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, like how much you're using it. And I

459
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: think for basic things like you're talking about, which it

460
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: comes to grammar and spelling and language and organization, those

461
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: are all things that I think you're going to be

462
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: pretty well suited to just use the basic CHATCHYBT. So

463
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: I guess my big point is I was paying for Grammarly.

464
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: I no longer pay for Grammarly. I let my subscription laps.

465
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: I've switched a language Tool, which I find to be

466
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 1: very straightforward by the way. It's let me just get

467
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: the website for that language. Let's see whereas it Language

468
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: tool dot org. And it's very similar to Grammarly and

469
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: AI based grammar Checker, but I and they do have

470
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: a premium version. But I find and I do a

471
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: lot of writing that between language Tool and chat gybt,

472
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: I am getting a lot of my work double checked.

473
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: So language tool, as I'm writing, it will put those

474
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: little squiggles under the things and it will just check

475
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 1: the spelling straightforward. Grammarly was going a little bit too

476
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: far in my opinion, of changing like the structure of

477
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: my sentences, and it wanted to change too much, and

478
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: so I just decided, you know what, I just all

479
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: I want is my spelling checked. And then if I

480
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: want to kind of polish up some of the things

481
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: I write, I paste them into chat GBT and then

482
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: I will polish them up that way, keeping my voice

483
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: as close as possible. But it has a nice knack

484
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: for kind of making things a little bit more organized

485
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: than I can and making them sound a little bit

486
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: better or you know, gets my thoughts a little bit right.

487
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of like me, but like times one hundred.

488
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: So that's what I like about it. But the other thing,

489
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: and by the way, the pro tip when you're putting

490
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: stuff into chat GBT and you're trying to have it

491
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: polish your text, okay, number one less is more so

492
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: if you're writing a whole thing, or a whole paper

493
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: or a whole page, whatever it is, is paste it

494
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: in paragraph by paragraph right. Don't try to do the

495
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: whole thing at once, because if there's any sort of issue,

496
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: it's going to try rewriting the whole thing over and

497
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: over and it just takes so much longer you're never

498
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: going to get it right. So try doing things paragraph

499
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 1: by paragraph. Now, if you're just writing a simple email

500
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: or something, obviously you can toss it all in there

501
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: and it's much easier. But I will tell you that

502
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: almost a majority of the communication I get at this

503
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: point in my life is generated by chat GBT, and

504
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: it is I mean, and I'll admit that I use

505
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: it to write back to some of the emails that

506
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: I get. And what I'll do is I will dictate

507
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: my response and chat gibt will just format it in

508
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: a nice, pretty way so that I can respond to

509
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: you without saying a couple of words. I always remember

510
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: the Steve Jobs emails that he would send back to

511
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: people would be like one to two to three words.

512
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: And I understand why he was a busy guy, but

513
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: he wanted to reply to people. And that's kind of

514
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: like me. I get all these emails all week long

515
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: from you, and I want to reply, and I've realized

516
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: that sometimes my replies, you're like one to two words,

517
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: that's right, Yes, that would be perfect. Go with this,

518
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: And of course you're sitting there thinking, oh, okay, Rich

519
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: doesn't really have much time for me. He's writing these

520
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: one or two words. But now with chat GBT, I

521
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: can just dictate what I'm saying and it will kind

522
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: of elaborate on that and kind of fill out the blanks,

523
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: like thanks for writing, Susan, here's what I think about this.

524
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, Dawn, the other thing that I love,

525
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: and I've talked about this before on my show, and

526
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: I know you use the dictation is whisper flow. I'm

527
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: not kidding. I am not kidding. This is the best

528
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: voice dictation I have ever seen in my life, and

529
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: I honestly cannot imagine my life without it. And I'm

530
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: actually worried at this point because I feel like Google

531
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: or Apple is going to buy this company and or

532
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: a third party some other company, and they're going to

533
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: ruin it for me because I love that I can

534
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: use it on my Mac, it works on Windows now,

535
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: it works on the iPhone. I'm waiting for it to

536
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: come to Android. But if you think voice dictation is good,

537
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: you have never seen anything like this, never ever in

538
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: your life. It uses AI to not just get what

539
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: you're saying, but to put in the paragraphs, the periods,

540
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: the explanation points, expla exclamation points. See it's better than

541
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: what I could do. And I'm just talking. I'm not

542
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: even writing all right. Eighty to eight Rich one on one.

543
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Dawn, appreciate it. Show notes everything

544
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned all on the website rich on Tech dot TV.

545
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: Coming up, I'll tell you about Netflix's first big redesign

546
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: in twelve years. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

547
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology. Eighty eight

548
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: Rich one O one eighty eight seven four to two

549
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Jeff right into the feedback, saying, Rich,

550
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: excellent opening message today, a classic. You should keep a

551
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: permanent link to this message on the social media status

552
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: quo on your show's website. Well said sir Jeff in Clearwater, Florida.

553
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jeff. Yeah, you know, look, I know people

554
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: don't want to believe it, but it's true and I

555
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: stick by my words. Thanks for the feedbag. If you

556
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: want to get yours in at rich on Tech, just

557
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: go to rich on Tech dot TV hit contact. I

558
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: changed it up a little bit. I actually put the

559
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: email address. Now it's feedbag at richon tech dot TV,

560
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: which I may have to change because I feel like

561
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: when people see that that aren't like a fan of

562
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: the show or haven't listened, they're gonna think that I

563
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: misspelled feedback, they're gonna be like, oh, no, it's feedback

564
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: at richon tech dot TV. But no, it's actually feedbag.

565
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: And the reason I call it feedbag is because it's

566
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: a combination of feedback and mail bag. Get it feedback,

567
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: And I think I said it once on the show

568
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: by accident. It just kind of slipped that way, and

569
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: I've preferred it ever since. And so now you can

570
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: just directly email feedback at richontech dot TV. That'll give

571
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: me your message. If you prefer a form, there is

572
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: also a place to submit your message via a form,

573
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: and just be sure to include your name, your city,

574
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: how you listen, and understand that we may use your

575
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: message here. I originally wanted the form because I wanted

576
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: to make it as simple as possible for people to

577
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: submit their message, and so I still have that option,

578
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people just like to

579
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: have an email address in general, so I put that

580
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: there as well. All right, there you have it, Rich

581
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: on tech dot TV. Let's go to Nash in Downy Nash.

582
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

583
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 5: How are you doing, sir?

584
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: I am doing well. How are you doing?

585
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: Pretty good?

586
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 8: I got a complex question then to get a single question.

587
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 8: So number one, where or what type of model do

588
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 8: you recommend for holographic sticker printing. I have a little

589
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 8: big and I want to say stickers. I've gone to

590
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 8: a couple models and none of them really seemed to

591
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 8: drive the ink from the machines onto a holographic paper. Well,

592
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 8: and I know there's got to be a better way.

593
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 5: What's your take?

594
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: Ooh, so you're printing your what kind of printer are

595
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: you using to print to this hall? Is it? So

596
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: you're buying like a holographic sticker and then you're printing

597
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: stuff onto their like like custom stickers.

598
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it's like my mobol and kind of like

599
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 8: those stickers you see like at the dances or maybe

600
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 8: if your kid won an award at school. But the

601
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 8: stickers I prints, they're more high quality. They're a holographic paper.

602
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 8: It's considered a premium brand. The model of pary I'm using.

603
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 8: It's this really really old Lex mark from I think

604
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 8: the eighteen hundreds, very loud.

605
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: Very annoying, the eighteen hundred.

606
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, the eighteen hundred stone age.

607
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

608
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 5: Is it?

609
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: Is it a laser printer or is it a special

610
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: specialty printer.

611
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 8: It's one of these specialty produce. I believe the model

612
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 8: number is t X one eight eight.

613
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: Okay. Uh so this is a a Lex TX one

614
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: a eight.

615
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

616
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 8: That's that's that's the only information that's luck on the

617
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 8: little badge by the plug on the back. But I

618
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 8: don't know if that's a serial number or the model number.

619
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 8: I know it serviceable for the ink, but I need

620
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 8: something better, I need something more quality.

621
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: So what type of printer is this? Is it?

622
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 4: Like?

623
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: Is it printing like? Is it etching onto this paper?

624
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: Or is it actually just printing like laser jet ink?

625
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 4: Like?

626
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: Is it?

627
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 5: Okay?

628
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: So it's just a laser jet printer that you're you're

629
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: putting this, uh this paper, you're feeding this holographic sticker

630
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: paper into correct Okay, So you just you just basically

631
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: need a nice printer that can print to this, yes, sir, Okay, Well,

632
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean if you're talking about the best. I mean,

633
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: if you're you're just basically looking for the best, like

634
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: laser jet printer, I'm taking it.

635
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, something that can handle holographic paper.

636
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that is very specific and I can't say

637
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: I have an experience with that whatsoever, but I would

638
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: say I would just look for a really good laser

639
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: printer that is highly rated. Now, does it need to

640
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: have a certain functionality for that paper to take? Like

641
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: does it need like a manual feed or anything. Is

642
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: that paper like super thick that you you need to

643
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: have like a specialty you know, feeder for it or no?

644
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 8: Yes, some paper is it's it's it's loaded by weight. Okay,

645
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 8: So obviously because it's a thicker paper, you can't put

646
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 8: so much into the feed tray, right, maybe you can

647
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 8: go five or ten max. Because the sticker is so

648
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 8: thick and the holographic nature of it is, it's not

649
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 8: like printing out a paper.

650
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 5: Of an essay.

651
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 8: It's it takes a long time, a very long time

652
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 8: to apply the laser inc from the actual jet to

653
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 8: the paper. And I just I just I don't know

654
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 8: why this is like rocket science, but a lot of

655
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 8: people I've seen do it. They have like these really

656
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 8: eight thousand dollars nine thousand dollars printers. They shoot them

657
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 8: out one hundred out of time like a dollar bill press.

658
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 8: And I said, there's got to be a better way

659
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 8: to do this at home without spending a fortune. But

660
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 8: I'll go ahead and do my own homework on that.

661
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 8: And then the last question I want to ask you is,

662
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 8: I have a problem with Jim headphones. I can't find

663
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 8: a pair of beads of Sony over ear models that

664
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 8: have a very powerful base. What do you recommend?

665
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: Mm? Okay, Well, back to the printer real quick. You know,

666
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: I would say to just get like I mean, brother

667
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: Brother laser printers are very highly rated for their combination

668
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: of sort of price and features, So I would look

669
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: into them and just make sure it has a manual

670
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: feed tray on there. And of course you can go

671
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: color laser or black and white if you need that.

672
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: When it comes to headphones, so you want Sony headphones

673
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: with a lot of bass.

674
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 8: Any any over to ear headphones that you model that

675
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 8: have a lot of beets?

676
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: Okay?

677
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 8: Models you recommend Beats or Apple. I had some beets

678
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 8: the Solo Breeze. I don't know where the base was.

679
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 8: I had some Sony they were like d dollars a target.

680
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 8: There was like no base to them. And I had

681
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 8: some all of those Apple Apod maxis, and there's just

682
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 8: I don't know what's my phone When I switched from

683
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 8: settings to the model of acoustic or card speakers or

684
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 8: over your monitors or whatever, there's just there's no base

685
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 8: in any of these models. And I'm thinking exact the way.

686
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: They come now, well, it could be the way they come,

687
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: but also it could be the EQ settings on your

688
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: on your phone. So I would look into your phone

689
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: and check out the EQ settings. Most of the audio

690
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: files that I know, and I'm not one of them

691
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: that are testing headphones all the time, they are saying

692
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: that you have to change those EQ settings on your

693
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: device or else. These things are not going to sound

694
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: that good. I would say for the gym. I mean,

695
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: if you're looking for like over the over the ear headphones,

696
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, I would say something from Beats is probably

697
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: going to be your best bet, just because you know,

698
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: that's what I see the most of and I think

699
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: that's what most people go to. I do have the

700
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: Aarpods max. I think they're good, but I to me,

701
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: earbuds are better for the gym. I just let me,

702
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: let me look into this. We'll be right back. Welcome

703
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: back to rich on tech rich DeMuro here hanging out

704
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: with you, talking technology at triple eight Rich one on one.

705
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one

706
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: zero one. The website for the show rich on tech

707
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: dot TV. This is episode one twenty, So if you

708
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: want links to anything I mentioned, you can find it

709
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: on the website rich on tech dot TV search one

710
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: twenty or search episode one twenty. Links are all there.

711
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: Before the break, we had a Nash in Downie asking

712
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: about some UH headphones that had better base for the gym,

713
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: and so UH did a little research in the break

714
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: and it turns out there's two that seemed to come

715
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: up over and over for having a lot of base

716
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: for the price. The Beats fit Pro Eats fit Pro.

717
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: Those are earbuds, and I think Nash said that he

718
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: wanted headphones. I personally like earbuds better at the gym.

719
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: Just that's me. But I see a lot of people

720
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: with headphones. But that's if you want earbuds. Beats fit

721
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: Pro those are two hundred dollars got a nice amount

722
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: of bass on them. And then these are the the

723
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: Sony Olt Power Sound ult Alt, where these are two

724
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and they actually have a special button on them,

725
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: an old button to boost your base and feel the

726
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: incredible power of sound. So those are two hundred dollars.

727
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: So two pair of headphones right there, or two pairs

728
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: of possibilities with that extra base. I guess you know, Look,

729
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: if you're lifting lifting a lot of weight, maybe that's

730
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: my problem. I don't you know, I'm sitting there running

731
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: like to like cardio, like Sabrina Carpenter. I just like

732
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: to make Bobo walk out every once in a while.

733
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: I guess you're listening to like real good heavy metal

734
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: stuff and you want to get that, you know, pumping music.

735
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: I guess the base probably, Maybe that's what I'm missing

736
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: in my life. Maybe this is why I am the

737
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: way I am. I don't have enough base in my life.

738
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 9: You got enough weights?

739
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 5: Lift weights?

740
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: I gotta lift weights. I did lift weights the other day.

741
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: It was like, I think it was like thirty or

742
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: forty pounds.

743
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 9: What did you do with it?

744
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: Like a little curl?

745
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 5: All right?

746
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: Like one or two?

747
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 3: Oh?

748
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: All right? Eighty eight rich one on one eighty eight

749
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero And let's go

750
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: to Sam in Huntington Beach. I gotta be very careful

751
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: if I if I press five, it goes to Kim

752
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: for Sam.

753
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 10: All do that?

754
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,040

758
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 10: I can see their neighbor WiFi but those are lost secured.

759
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what do I do? So when

760
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: you when you when you scan your Wi Fi networks,

761
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: you see this inappropriate wi Fi network name?

762
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's open. And sometime you know, when I

763
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 10: go from work to home and my phone is searching

764
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 10: for it because I have a Tesla a Solar panels too,

765
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 10: so it's got its own WiFi do and it just

766
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 10: I don't want it to connect it. I don't want

767
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 10: I don't know.

768
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 8: I'm lost.

Speaker 1: so you can? I mean so number one, I mean,

771
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate that this is happening, but people can make

772
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: their wife. It's kind of interesting that I don't see

773
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: this more now that you say this, because I think

774
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: some of the Wi Fi network names I've seen are funny,

775
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: and I always get a kick out of like interesting

776
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: or you know, just silly ironic Wi Fi names, But

777
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: I have not thought of the inappropriate Wi Fi network name. Now,

778
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: Wi Fi network is the name of that network. The

779
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: SSID is broadcast out by the device, and so anyone

780
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: in that area that's scanning for Wi Fi is going

781
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: to see that Wi Fi network. Now, there's not a

782
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: simple easy way to tell your device do not show

783
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: me all the Wi Fi networks in my area. That's

784
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: not really a possibility as far as I've seen. But

785
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: you can control which Wi Fi networks your device connects to.

786
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: So there's two settings on your phone. The first is

787
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: connect to open networks, turn that off. The second is

788
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: it sounds like you might have already connected to this

789
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: network at one point, maybe you were curious about it.

790
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: It was an open network, you tapped it, and your

791
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: phone connected. So now every time your phone goes past

792
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: that network, it is reconnecting to that network. And whether

793
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: it's your phone or your car or your computer, whatever

794
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: it is, just go into your Wi Fi, find that network,

795
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: tap the there's usually either an I next to it

796
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: or something, and just say either forget this network, or

797
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: if it's already connected, say do not join. Do not

798
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: join this network automatically. So there's like a toggle that

799
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: will say, you know, do not join this network. And

800
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: so that's the way you do it. Like, for instance,

801
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: when I go to work, I've got a network there

802
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: that I only want to connect to once in a while,

803
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: So I just toggled off the ability for my phone

804
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: to connect to that network automatically. When it finds it,

805
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: I have to manually enable that connection. Now, when it

806
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: comes to this open network, there's not much you can

807
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: do about it. I mean, this person, whoever they are

808
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: that has this silly network name, has decided that they

809
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 1: think it's funny to do this, and I mean, there's

810
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: not that much harm. I guess it's silly, but you know, yeah,

811
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: kids could be scanning on their devices and see this

812
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: inappropriate name, and that's pretty much, you know, the worst

813
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: that can happen there. So I think it's interesting that

814
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: it's open. So if you were like a bit of

815
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: a tinker hacker type, you know, you might have some

816
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: fun with that you know you because they left it open.

817
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, what are you doing there? But when

818
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: it comes to actually telling your device not to show

819
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: you that name, ever, there's not really a way that

820
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: I know. And maybe because you said this, I mean

821
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: maybe in the future that you know, maybe phones and

822
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: computers when they scan for network names, if they see

823
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: a bad word in the name, they'll exit out or something.

824
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that would be interesting. Thanks for the call,

825
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,919
Speaker 1: appreciate it. FBI is warning speaking of routers and Wi Fi.

826
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: FBI is warning about old routers powering cyber crimes. So

827
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 1: cyber criminals are targeting routers from twenty ten or earlier.

828
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: So if you have not switched your router in fifteen years,

829
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: and I know there are some of you out there

830
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 1: that probably haven't, these are being turned into like zombie routers.

831
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: So these devices don't get security updates, which makes them

832
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 1: easy to hack. And once they're infected, the hackers install

833
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: malware called the Moon to your router into a proxy,

834
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: and this lets them do all kinds of things. Basically,

835
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: they're running their crimes through this router, and because this

836
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: router seems trusted because it's on your network, the systems

837
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: that sort of filter through all these different malware and

838
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: stuff like that are none the wiser. So here are

839
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: the warning signs. Number one, your router is fifteen years old.

840
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: That's the number one warning sign. Number two, slow Internet,

841
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: your router's overheating, unfamiliar router settings. The biggest risk is

842
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: if your router has remote administration turned on, which it may,

843
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: especially if it's old. You know, they didn't think a

844
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff. They didn't think about a lot

845
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: of this stuff back in the day. So the FBI

846
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: recommends you disabled remote access, update the firmware, change your password.

847
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: But if your router's end of life, which you know,

848
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: you can google the name of your router and just

849
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: see if it's getting updates anymore. If it's not, it's

850
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: probably time to get a new one. Routers are not

851
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: that expensive. I think that this is something that when

852
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: you look at the massiveness of America and how many

853
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: routers are out there. Yes, there are probably some that

854
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,479
Speaker 1: are just sitting there, they've been there for a while,

855
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 1: they're in place, they're just doing their job, and that's

856
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: what happens. But I think for a lot of people,

857
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, if they're getting their Internet installed by their

858
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: cable provider, or they're kind of keeping up on things this.

859
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how widespread this is, but clearly it's

860
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: widespread enough that the FBI is putting a warning out

861
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: about it. So if your routers before twenty ten, get

862
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: a new one. And then Netflix getting its first home

863
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: screen redesign on TV in over twelve years. It's the

864
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: first time they're redesigning this screen since twenty thirteen. I

865
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: know no one's ready for change, but it's coming at

866
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 1: you fast. I mean it's only been you know, twelve years,

867
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: but still it's fast. Back then, when they redesign their

868
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: home screen, they had thirty million subscribers. Now they have

869
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: over three hundred million. This new update is called Eclipse.

870
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: I guess that's the code name for it. And finally, finally, finally,

871
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: there is a top navigation bar. So about you. But

872
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: if you ever scroll on Netflix from left to right,

873
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: like you go, Let's say you go down like a

874
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: movie list to the right. You keep going, and then

875
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: you want to search for something, you gotta scroll all

876
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: the way back through that list to the left just

877
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: to get back to that search. No more. Now you

878
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: can just go back up to the top and you

879
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: can search. Finally, Netflix, Thank you. This is for TV

880
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: screens only, where Netflix says seventy percent of viewing is happening.

881
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: There's gonna be fewer titles on the screen, but there's

882
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: gonna be more video like things are gonna auto play more,

883
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: more animations. Also, there's gonna be more of an emphasis

884
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: on live stuff, Like Netflix is getting into more live stuff,

885
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: so you might see like if they have like a

886
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: live wrestling or something happening, that's gonna be sort of

887
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: like playing in a little picture like on the screen.

888
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: So again, this is all to get you to click more.

889
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 1: The other thing I thought was interesting is that they're

890
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: gonna be doing recommendations in faster time. So if you

891
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: search for like horror movie and then you kind of

892
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: are just like bumping around the screen and trying to

893
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: look for some thing, they'll sort of populate the home

894
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: screen with a bunch of more horror recommendations because it

895
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: knows you're sort of looking for that. And so it

896
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: said the old algorithm could take a day to catch up.

897
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: So let's say you search for horror movies on Friday

898
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: night and on Saturday night you come back to Netflix,

899
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: then it would show you all the horror movies. No,

900
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: now it's going to show you that night. So that's

901
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Let's see, it's just kind of like a

902
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: more responsive I guess. Let's see. Hover over a title,

903
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: you'll see a larger image, a short description, and they're

904
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: also doing the tags like top ten or Oscar nominee,

905
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: which is interesting because that's what Roku did when they

906
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: announced their redesign. Not a redesign, but just new features.

907
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: People love when movies get awards, right, so if a

908
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: movie has an award or it's a Top ten, you know,

909
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: people like the comfort of these signals knowing that other

910
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: people like this movie. And that's one of my issues

911
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: with Netflix is like because they they don't want to

912
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: put an emphasis on like you know, this movie has

913
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 1: a Rotten Tomatoes score or this movie is top rated.

914
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: It's like, because they want you to watch this catalog

915
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: of stuff that they have, they don't want to say like, oh,

916
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: this is in IMDb's top two hundred movies. But now,

917
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: I guess Oscar Nominee's kind of a safe one. They're

918
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna toy with more of those little things, like you know,

919
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 1: some sort of award or some sort of top ten list.

920
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: But again it's like on Netflix information like Netflix data.

921
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: But this is a big shift. We'll see and of course,

922
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, we know the other streaming services love to

923
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: follow what Netflix does. We may see more redesigns if

00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: that's launching this week. Why why it's slim to win.

929
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on tech. Rich Demiro here talking

930
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: technology with you. Let's go to Orlando, Florida, where Chris

931
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 1: is calling. Chris. You're on with Rich.

932
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Thank you, Rich. I always appreciate you taking

933
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: the call.

934
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 5: I won't keep you very long.

935
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: Today, Thank you.

936
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 2: I have an iPad M four. Purchased it last September

937
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: and very much recently. It has been some awkward, you know,

938
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 2: issues with the software since we got it, but I've

939
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: had rest all the software. Well, I mean when I

940
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: got it, I believe it was that iPad OS seventeen

941
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 2: point six.

942
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that.

943
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 2: I think that's what that was. When we got it.

944
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 8: A short time after.

945
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 5: We couldn't.

946
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 2: We vooted it down. We couldn't get it to boot up.

947
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: Went to Apple. They reinstalled the software. Everything seemed to

948
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: be good, and then several months later we powered it down.

949
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 2: I went out, I had some meetings. I was going

950
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: to be back late, so I powered it down, give

951
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 2: it a break, and then I couldn't power it on.

952
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 2: I was without the iPad for twenty four hours.

953
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: Oh the humanity. How did you survive, Chris?

954
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 5: I did? I really didn't.

955
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 2: I had I didn't know what to do.

956
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: Really.

957
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 2: I called Apple and you know, made a cup of coffee,

958
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 2: got back to work, did several things, and got into

959
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 2: the back into the Apple store. I mean, no technology

960
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: for twenty four hours or rich. It's like, you know,

961
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: the end of the end of the world.

962
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 1: You know, I'm without a phone number right now. Nobody

963
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: can call me or text me. How do you think

964
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 1: I feel? It's horrible? I feel great. Just oh wife,

965
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: I didn't get the call, but I don't know. I

966
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: just have no way to get in touch with me

967
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: right now anyway. So what can we what can we

968
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: do to help you? What's what's the problem right now?

969
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: Well, right now, yeah, because we could expound on that

970
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 2: quite quickly.

971
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 5: Is that okay?

972
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 2: So then we went in. They reinstalled the software a

973
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: second time. Now recently Apple updated to Apple Intelligence and

974
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 2: Siri Apple Intelligence does not work very well at all,

975
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 2: so we basically we keep that off. And now the

976
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 2: problem is I cannot get just basic theory to work

977
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 2: on the device at all, no matter what I do.

978
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 2: I've called Apple Support several times. We can't get it

979
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: to work, won't turn on, went back in and now

980
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 2: also allow Siri when lot is stuck in a hibernation

981
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 2: mode in the sense that I don't know if that's

982
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: the right terminology, but it's not highlighted. So no matter

983
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: what I do, I can't get just basic s theory

984
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 2: to work. And I can't yet allow sey win Lot

985
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 2: to actually high like that features, so I can turn

986
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: it off and Apple doesn't know what to do with me.

987
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: Okay, well know what to do. So I think, Chris,

988
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: I think what would solve all of your issues is

989
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: tossing this iPad in the trash and buying a new one. No,

990
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. That seems like it's too Yeah, we

991
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: won't do that. I think that this sounds like you've

992
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: played with the settings too much and now everything's kind

993
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: of all over the place, and I think it sounds

994
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: like you have to just reset the settings and start over.

995
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: So a couple things you mentioned that you already installed

996
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: the software and reinstalled it on this divice I once,

997
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: so you could either do a full factory reset of

998
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: this device and start it up fresh and Cereal will

999
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: come back to life. That's number one. You don't have

1000
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: to be that drastic, you know, I would go into

1001
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: before I do anything else. Just go into settings. Let's

1002
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: see it's settings. Where is it Settings General? Scroll all

1003
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: the way down to where it says transfer or reset

1004
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: phone reset, and then where it says reset all settings.

1005
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: You can reset that and that will reset all of

1006
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: your settings back to factory, including Siri. And then once

1007
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: you do that, you can actually press the side button

1008
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,760
Speaker 1: and that should bring up Siri or it should actually

1009
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: give you the option of how do you want to

1010
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: set up Siri? Now. The other thing you mentioned is

1011
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: that you turned off Apple Intelligence, and so when you

1012
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: turn off Apple Intelligence, that is sort of linked to Siri,

1013
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: and so you may want to turn that off and

1014
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: turn it back on and see if that helps. But

1015
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: those two things are like sort of like tied together now,

1016
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to see what it's doing. Okay, so

1017
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: talk and type to Siri. Yeah. So the other thing

1018
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: you can do is, I don't know if you noticed this,

1019
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: but they added this new thing and if you have

1020
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: Apple Intelligence on your device anyone, whether it's your iPhone

1021
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: or your iPad, that line at the bottom of your

1022
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: device you can tap and well, actually I don't know

1023
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: if that works on the iPad, but I know it

1024
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: works on the iPhone. You can tap that little line

1025
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: at the bottom to bring up you can tap it,

1026
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: double tap and it'll bring up Siri. It's called type

1027
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: to Siri. I don't know if that's on the iPad.

1028
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: I gotta look at that. But I think the main

1029
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: thing that's happening here is somehow you switched all these

1030
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: settings around where now some settings are off, some settings

1031
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: are on, and they're all kind of interfering. So I

1032
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: think doing that that settings reset is going to bring

1033
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: this back to life. And then if you want, once

1034
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: you've got that up and running, then you can go

1035
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: in and toggle off Apple Intelligence and your serious it

1036
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: would still work. Siri will stop using okay, yeah, so

1037
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: that's just your Apple intelligence and then the Siri win locked.

1038
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: The reason why that could be off is that you know,

1039
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: once you toggle that off, let's see, I'll turn off

1040
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: allow Siri win locked, you should be oh you gotta yeah,

1041
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: that's a passcode things. You might have to turn that

1042
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: back on and toggle your passcode again. So you got

1043
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: to put your passcode in to let that feature turn on.

1044
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: But the bottom line, I think you do the settings reset.

1045
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: It's going to change a bunch of things back to

1046
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 1: the factory, but I think that's going to bring back Siri,

1047
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: brings Siri back to life. The M four iPad is

1048
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: a relatively new model, so it should be pretty good there.

1049
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: All right, Coming up, we're going to talk about AI

1050
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: in the workplace. Why if you're feeling burned out, maybe

1051
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: it's AI to the rescue right here on rich on Tech.

1052
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich On Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

1053
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at triple eight rich one

1054
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: O one eight eight eight seven four to two four

1055
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: one zero one. Not sure if you figure out the

1056
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: figured out the theme to this week's songs, but sort

1057
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: of road trippy traveling driving Bobo got it. When he

1058
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: looked through the list, He's like, I got it. What

1059
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: about this song? You left this one out? But they're that,

1060
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, just to get you going. All right, this

1061
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: is really interesting. So you know, we're all like sort

1062
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: of overworked and people are asking more of us, Employers

1063
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: are asking more. So how do we do more with less? Well?

1064
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: AI might be the answer. Let's hear from a Parna

1065
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: Chenna Pergata, chief product officer at Microsoft and the founder

1066
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: of Google Lens. By the way, she talks about why

1067
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: workers feel burned out and how AI can help.

1068
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 11: There's one statistic that just jumps out at us this year,

1069
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 11: which is fifty three percent of leaders want everybody to

1070
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 11: be more productive, they want.

1071
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 6: More work, and yet eighty percent of US leaders and

1072
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 6: employees we're maxed out. We don't have the energy or

1073
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 6: the capacity. So for us, it was like, oh, there

1074
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 6: is a big.

1075
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 11: Capacity gap here, and guess what the capacity gap can

1076
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 11: be filled with AI at work?

1077
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: And so what are some of the solutions for AI

1078
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,720
Speaker 1: at work that we are sort of seeing today.

1079
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 11: When you think about where we are in this whole

1080
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 11: AI journey, we have, you know, rich, we have intelligence

1081
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 11: on tap right now, like and you turn on the

1082
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 11: tap and you have a world class research scientist, a

1083
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 11: world class data scientist and analysts writing your pocket. So

1084
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 11: imagine you know you're a salesperson, you have that most

1085
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 11: important meeting end of the quarter, you're trying.

1086
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 6: To close the deal.

1087
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 11: AI can help you look through all the information that

1088
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 11: you need, look at what's the current news, what's on

1089
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 11: top of mind for the customer, and help you close

1090
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 11: that deal. Or you go on vacation hopefully sure, and

1091
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 11: then you know that's great, right, but when you come

1092
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 11: back from the vacation, you have countless emails, meetings, womans

1093
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 11: messages all waiting for you. And again, AI can help

1094
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 11: you scour through all of this stuff and say, just

1095
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 11: like a perfect assistant would do, and say, here are

1096
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 11: the three things that you should be focused on. Especially

1097
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 11: don't forget to respond to the email from the boss

1098
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 11: by the end of today.

1099
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: These are things that AI can do.

1100
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 11: Right now, you're actively working on all of these tools,

1101
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 11: and that's I think the most important thing here. We've

1102
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 11: got to have everybody start to use these tools.

1103
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: So that is where the idea of AI kind of

1104
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: comes in. For the average employee. We're getting mixed signals

1105
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: from companies. Don't you know whether we can use these tools?

1106
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: How can we use them? And sometimes we even feel

1107
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: guilty using them because we feel like they're replacing what

1108
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: we're doing.

1109
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean which I have three tips, which is

1110
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 11: number one, using AI it's a contact sport, it's a

1111
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 11: you got to build a muscle group, right and you

1112
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 11: have to use the tools of course that are compliant

1113
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 11: and safe and secure like Microsoft. And you need to

1114
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 11: get in the game and actually start to see what

1115
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 11: the tools are useful for where the gaps, et cetera.

1116
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 11: Number one, build a muscle group.

1117
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 6: Number two.

1118
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 11: What we find is that really people who the frontier

1119
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 11: firms and the employees get most out of it when

1120
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 11: they start to put this to work where they work.

1121
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 6: Right.

1122
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 11: So in Microsoft there sixty five, you're in teams, you

1123
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 11: miss the meeting, help it summarize the meeting, or you're

1124
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 11: trying to draft an important email, have the assistant look

1125
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 11: over you have copilot help you with that, right.

1126
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: Or So we shouldn't feel guilty having Copilot help us

1127
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: write our emails.

1128
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 11: We should help you guide. I think that just like

1129
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 11: a perfect assistant would do. Right, it's the think of

1130
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,439
Speaker 11: this as the perfect AI assistant that comes to work

1131
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 11: for you and beside you to make.

1132
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 6: You the best version of yourself.

1133
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 11: If we can get AI to help us take the

1134
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 11: drudgery out of it, then it frees us up to

1135
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 11: do more of the meaningful parts of our work. And

1136
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 11: then finally, there are places that we are seeing our

1137
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 11: customers our employees use AI where it gives you superpowers,

1138
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 11: Like I couldn't possibly understand everything that's going on in

1139
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 11: the world around a particular topic, even though I'm.

1140
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 6: Like thicking that including AI.

1141
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 11: So again, like, what are ways that you can get

1142
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 11: save time, increased capacity and get some superpowers?

1143
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: How much should we be asking our companies about what

1144
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: we can do? And also, when it comes to sort

1145
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: of private information or proprietary information at your workplace, how

1146
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: do we make sure that that's safe.

1147
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 11: This is one of the most important things that the

1148
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 11: companies need to get right, and that is at the

1149
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 11: heart of what we're doing at Microsoft, which is how

1150
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 11: do you do innovation and trust?

1151
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 6: It's an end right, and how do you.

1152
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 11: Make sure that the data, the security, the compliance, privacy,

1153
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 11: all of these guardrails and kind of the right structures

1154
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 11: are in place. So that then within those guardrails, you

1155
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 11: can really put AI to work.

1156
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: And this goes back to that guilt factor. A lot

1157
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: of workers worry about AI replacing them, So how can

1158
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: you sort of understand that this has a role in

1159
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: the workplace moving forward? And do you feel like it's

1160
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: going to replace people?

1161
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 6: For me?

1162
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 11: AI, I mean we talked about AI is there to

1163
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 11: help us and not free places.

1164
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 6: All of us have.

1165
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 11: More work than we can do, So to me, it

1166
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 11: is about getting a good assistant, a good copilot that

1167
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 11: helps you just like be that better version, be that

1168
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 11: more productive version of yourself without leading to burnout.

1169
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 6: And that's important. That's the way I look at AI tools.

1170
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 6: That's the other thing.

1171
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 11: A lot of people today are using AI products as

1172
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 11: a chatbot right as a way to say, oh yeah,

1173
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 11: let me put some prompt in.

1174
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 6: And let me get some answer.

1175
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 11: That's an underuse what we think of with all these

1176
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 11: products with teams, outlook ets saying can you use AI?

1177
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 11: Can we use copilot as a thought partner and a collaborator,

1178
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 11: not just a chatbot where you occasionally put some stuff in.

1179
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: Well, what I'm hearing is use it, lean on it,

1180
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: try it, and use it. To your advantage and you'll

1181
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: prevent burnout absolutely.

1182
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 11: And I think the shift that's around the corner as

1183
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 11: I see where AI is headed and the horizon, is

1184
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 11: that you know, we're all used to doing things at work, right,

1185
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 11: we are the doers. But I think with agents and

1186
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 11: with AI.

1187
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: You're going to be a boss.

1188
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 11: Right, You're not just going to be an employee. Every

1189
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 11: person a boss of agents. We call it the agent

1190
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 11: boss in the in the research report. And you're going

1191
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 11: to have to learn not just to do things, but

1192
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 11: to direct and delegate things. And that's again a new

1193
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 11: mindset shift. It's less of a technology and access issue.

1194
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 11: It's really shifting your mindset and that's the key advantage.

1195
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 11: If you're listening, this is actually one of the ways

1196
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 11: that you can get ahead, start to adopt the mindset

1197
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 11: shift of Okay, how do I manage?

1198
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 6: How do I direct? How do I delegate AI? To

1199
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 6: get more work out of it.

1200
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot about this idea of like the

1201
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: AI agent. Can you explain what that means exactly?

1202
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 2: Like?

1203
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: Am I telling it to do something and it goes

1204
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: out and does it?

1205
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 11: I think, look, there's a lot of like different interpretations

1206
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 11: and ideas around agents, but the higher the big idea

1207
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 11: is this, right, which is how can you rely on

1208
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 11: a agent? Is a software that you can direct and

1209
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 11: delegate and say, hey, assigned tasks to it, not just

1210
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 11: answer questions back and forth like a chat bard and

1211
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 11: say I want you to go do this thing for me.

1212
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 6: Of course, you're in control.

1213
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,439
Speaker 11: We believe again like this is a co pilot, you're

1214
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 11: in control and you can always oversee the work, but

1215
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 11: you know, have the agent take on more of the task,

1216
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 11: not just the how, but the what, give it a goal,

1217
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 11: come back and then say okay, have you done this.

1218
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 11: A good example is, hey, I have this customer meeting

1219
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 11: coming up. Bring me build me a research report on

1220
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 11: this customer so that I can have this amazing meeting.

1221
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 11: That's a good example of an agent that we just launched.

1222
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: Now in the public we're hearing AI AI AI. How

1223
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 1: do you explain its simple as terms? What that is?

1224
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 11: I think one way to think about what AI is

1225
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 11: is a digital brain. Right, It's a digital brain that

1226
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 11: can do some of these tasks that previously we said, okay,

1227
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 11: we have to actually think about these things, like every

1228
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 11: one of us could use an additional digital brain. The

1229
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 11: additional the best part of this is that it is

1230
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 11: learned and trained on the best of the human knowledge,

1231
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 11: which means that again like you have an Einstein as

1232
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 11: your intern.

1233
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: Okay, and a little bit of background for you. You

1234
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: invented Google lens.

1235
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 6: That's right.

1236
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: How did that come about?

1237
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 11: It was back when the phones were starting to take off.

1238
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 11: And you know, one of the things I noticed is

1239
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 11: that we weren't taking pictures just off sunsets and selfies.

1240
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 11: We were taking pictures of the bag I want to buy,

1241
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 11: or this sign in a foreign language that I don't understand,

1242
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 11: or the book I saw at your place, or the

1243
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 11: funky lamp that I saw in a friend's place. And

1244
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 11: so I said, there is so much of information that

1245
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 11: we need to connect and the visual the camera is

1246
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 11: the new keyboard, and how do we actually use the camera,

1247
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 11: use photos and this visual intelligence to.

1248
01:02:58,400 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 6: Search the world around us.

1249
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 11: So that's how it began, very humble beginnings, with a

1250
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 11: handful of us building this in a skunk walks way,

1251
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 11: and then it grew to be one of the biggest products.

1252
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: Parna. There you have it, a Purna Chenna Pergrada at Microsoft.

1253
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: Once again, that is a Chenna Pergrada at Microsoft, founder

1254
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: of Google Lens, sort of threw that in there. I

1255
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 1: had to ask her about it and how AI can

1256
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: help you as an employee try it use it. The

1257
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: main thing and she did touch upon this is that

1258
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: you have to be sure that your employer is okay

1259
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: with all of this usage, right, So check to see

1260
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: you know what your employer has when it comes to

1261
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: rules or sort of regulations around using AI at work.

1262
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: But if they offer it and they have it and

1263
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,439
Speaker 1: they like it and they embrace it, you should too.

1264
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: And you're not going to break anything. So definitely try

1265
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: it out because everyone else is. Believe me, everyone is

1266
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: the website Microsoft dot com slash work Lab. If you

1267
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 1: want to read their work trend Index annual report that

1268
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: has some great insights in it, it'll be linked up

1269
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: on my website rich on Tech dot TV. All right,

1270
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: coming up, we'll take some more of your calls at

1271
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:17,919
Speaker 1: eight eight eight rich one on one eight eight eight

1272
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one, and I'll

1273
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:23,959
Speaker 1: tell you about Samsung's new thin to win smartphone going

1274
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: to be announced this week. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1275
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: Rich Tomuro here hanging out with you, talking Technology, the

1276
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: website rich On tech dot TV, the phone number uh

1277
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,919
Speaker 1: eight eight eight rich one on one eight eight eight

1278
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. There's a

1279
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: new feature on Google Maps that's kind of cool. But

1280
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,479
Speaker 1: if you're you know, into your privacy, maybe you won't

1281
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: like it. But it's a smart idea. So how many

1282
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: times have you taken a screenshot of something online, you know,

1283
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: an Instagram story or something you see in an article.

1284
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Place you want to go hike, you want to do,

1285
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: restaurant you want to eat at, and you know just

1286
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: lives in your screenshots and you kind of forget about it. Well,

1287
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: Google Maps has a great idea where now they're using

1288
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Gemini their AI to scan your screenshots and identify the

1289
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 1: places in those screenshots. So this is good for travel planning,

1290
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: it's good for anything that you're trying to remember. So

1291
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: if you want to turn it on, open up Google Maps.

1292
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: There's a you tab at the bottom and then tap

1293
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: that and then you'll see a screenshots section that's new

1294
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: up the top. Tap that says try it out and

1295
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: it will help you sort of set this up. Now,

1296
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: the main thing is you have to give Google Maps

1297
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: access to your screenshots. For this to work. Now, you

1298
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: can do a manual upload option, but I think by

1299
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: that point it's going to take so much work that

1300
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: you might as well just add these to your list yourself.

1301
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: But the cool thing is now, when you're on Instagram

1302
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: or an article, whatever it is, you can just screenshot

1303
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: it and then when you go back into Google Maps,

1304
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: back into that screenshots section, it will have scanned all

1305
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: those screenshots and it will say, Okay, we see that

1306
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: this is for a restaurant. Do you want to save?

1307
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: That restaurant gives you the name of it. If it

1308
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: gets it wrong, you can just skip it or edit.

1309
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 1: But in my experience I tested this with a whole

1310
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. It gets it right if the place

1311
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: name is clear and it finds it. But if it's

1312
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: just like let's say you're on Instagram and someone tags

1313
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: a restaurant, like, let's say they put a piece like

1314
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: I did this today. Actually I posted the pizza I

1315
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: had in New York City and I just tagged the

1316
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: restaurant that I ate at, and it's called Let's see

1317
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: what was it called LTD? I think it was called

1318
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Let's see LTD Pizza. Well, actually, you know what it

1319
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: probably will figure that out because the name of the

1320
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: place is LTD Pizza, so when you screenshot that, but

1321
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: if it's like something that is not necessarily the name

1322
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: of the place, it may not get it perfectly. So again,

1323
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 1: kind of cool feature. I think it's smart, you know,

1324
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: because I'm always screenshotting stuff that I want to go

1325
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: to later. So if you want to try this out again,

1326
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: open up Maps, tap you at the bottom, and then

1327
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: tap screenshots. Set it all up, get it going, and

1328
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: now you can keep track of all the places that

1329
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: you want to check out. Again. The privacy implication of

1330
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: this is that Google now has access to your screenshots,

1331
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: so if you're not comfortable with that, don't do this.

1332
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,439
Speaker 1: Samsung is unveiling a new phone this week. It's called

1333
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: the Galaxy S twenty five Edge. This is Samsung's slimmest

1334
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: phone yet, so they're just teasing it, but they say

1335
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: it's got a good camera two hundred megapixel main camera,

1336
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: of course, all the AI features. They call it an

1337
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: engineering marvel thin, lightweight, high performance, and no full specs

1338
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: just yet, but they're saying that this is gonna be

1339
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: a great phone. Obviously, they're saying that it's going to

1340
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 1: launch online May thirteenth at nine am Korea time, which

1341
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: is May twelfth at five pm Pacific eight pm Eastern.

1342
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: Kind of an interesting launch time, but that's again on Monday.

1343
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: So for us here in the US, I'm excited for

1344
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: this phone. It'll be you know, we've got this big

1345
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of slim phone war happening this year. We've got

1346
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: the S twenty five Edge from Samsung. And then the

1347
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,759
Speaker 1: rumor is that Apple is coming out with the Apple

1348
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,560
Speaker 1: iPhone Air whatever they're calling. I don't know what the

1349
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 1: name is going to be, but that's sort of, you know,

1350
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: the idea of it. It's as super thin phone. Why

1351
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: are they doing this well, because we all know phones

1352
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: of the standard size are great and everyone has one.

1353
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: So how do you differentiate and how do you sell

1354
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 1: more phones for something that's a little bit different than

1355
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: the standard upgrade because people are not upgrading their phones

1356
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: as often because there's no reason to. The camera is great,

1357
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: the features are great, the software is good, and most

1358
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,759
Speaker 1: people don't want all these new features to have to learn,

1359
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: so they like the fact that their phone works the

1360
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: way it works, and once you get everything logged in

1361
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: and set up, you don't want to go in and

1362
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: log in again. You don't want to set everything up again,

1363
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 1: so you keep your phone longer, and since it's working

1364
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: just fine, why not and it saves you money. So again,

1365
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: these thin phones are sort of a differentiator for someone

1366
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: to go ooh, I want that. I want a slim phone.

1367
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see how those are. By the way, if

1368
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: you want the if you have any interest in the

1369
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: Galaxy Edge at all, which sounds like a Disney ride,

1370
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: you can put in your email address on the Samsung

1371
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: website and they'll give you fifty dollars off the reservation.

1372
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 1: You don't have to commit to it, you don't have

1373
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: to buy it, they'll just give you that extra fifty

1374
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: dollars off. And as we all know, the best time

1375
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: to buy a phone is during the pre order time

1376
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: between the time the phone is on pre order and

1377
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: when it actually comes out. That's when all the phone

1378
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 1: carriers do their best deals, and then after that it's okay. Now,

1379
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: speaking of new features, if you got the Samsung one

1380
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: UI seven, which is our latest software, it's been rolling

1381
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: out to all kinds of phones, including all the way

1382
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 1: back to Samsung Galaxy S twenty TI two, S twenty one,

1383
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: the fold, four, and much more. If you got this

1384
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: over the past week or so, people are hating one

1385
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: two features in particular. Number one, when you swipe down,

1386
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: it splits your your swipe down into quick settings and notifications.

1387
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: So if you swipe from the right, it's your quick settings,

1388
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: if you swipe from the left, it's your notifications. That's

1389
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: driving people nuts. So if you want this to just

1390
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: be the old way, where if you just swipe down

1391
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: it's just your notifications, you can swipe down, tap that

1392
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:36,839
Speaker 1: pencil icon, tap panel settings, and then set two together

1393
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 1: instead of separate. So I personally like this split because

1394
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: I like the way that the quick settings are on

1395
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: one side and the notifications are on the other. But

1396
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 1: I get it. If you like that the old way,

1397
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: just change it back now. Second, lock screen notifications are

1398
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 1: hidden by default. You only see these tiny little icons

1399
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,080
Speaker 1: on the home screen instead of your actual notifications. You

1400
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: want to fix that, you can go into Settings Notifications

1401
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: lockscreen notifications and switch from icons to cards to see

1402
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: the full message previews again like you used to have.

1403
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: And this is from Android Authority. I'll put the link

1404
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 1: to their article on my show notes that you can

1405
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 1: see those instructions one more time, and finally Samsung adding

1406
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: a very cool feature. You know how when someone has

1407
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 1: to pay you back and you go through this whole

1408
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 1: game of vote. Do you have a Venmo? Yeah? I

1409
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: don't want to use that. What about Zell? I don't

1410
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: like Zell? Do you have any cash on you?

1411
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 2: No?

1412
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: Well, can you pay me back somehow? Well, now Samsung

1413
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: is giving no excuses. They're rolling out a new tap

1414
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 1: to transfer feature, So you literally can just tap your

1415
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 1: two phones together to send your money to each other,

1416
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: no extra apps needed. But here's the best part. If

1417
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: the person doesn't have a wallet app, they can just

1418
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: tap their debit card to your phone. Literally, they can

1419
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: tap their debit card to your phone to transfer the money.

1420
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: Doesn't get much easier than that. There is no excuses

1421
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: for your friend not paying you back at this point.

1422
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: It's called tap to transfer. Rolling on on Samsung eighty

1433
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: Denise did. Uh, She says, My husband and I both

1434
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: have iPhone fourteen plus models and are thinking about upgrading

1435
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 1: to the iPhone sixteen Pro. I prefer the smaller version,

1436
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: he wants a larger one. Do you think it's advisable

1437
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 1: to wait until September when the new iPhones come out?

1438
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: We enjoy watching you and reading newsletter, Denise. I don't

1439
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: think you need to wait because there are deals of

1440
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: plenty on the iPhone sixteen pros, and there's not gonna

1441
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: be deals on the new iPhone seventeen or whatever they're

1442
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna call it. I mean, I'm assuming, based on history,

1443
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the seventeen. And why wait until September

1444
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: when you have a perfectly good phone that does all

1445
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,719
Speaker 1: the things you need right now? I think the iPhone

1446
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: sixteen Pro is probably the best phone that Apple's made

1447
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 1: in years because of the combination of cameras, the speed,

1448
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 1: the size, the camera control button, everything is there that

1449
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: you need. And so if anything, the iPhone seventeen is

1450
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: just going to be a slight iteration of this, probably

1451
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a newer process or something like that. But

1452
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: you've got everything you need right now, so I would

1453
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: say go for it. And if you want the iPhone

1454
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: sixteen pro versus the Promax, just look for some deals.

1455
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: If you're sticking with your carrier, some of them have

1456
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 1: deals where they'll just give you the phone for free

1457
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 1: if you trade in your old one. Otherwise, if you're

1458
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 1: looking to switch carriers, you can do that too. But

1459
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: the catch is if you are sticking with your carrier,

1460
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: they want you to stay with them even longer, so

1461
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: you're not really getting a free phone per se, but

1462
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,639
Speaker 1: they will just basically lock you into a contract where

1463
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: they give you that iPhone sixteen pro for free, quote unquote,

1464
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: but you have to stick with them for another two

1465
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: to three years, depending on the carrier. But I'd say

1466
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: go for it, don't wait. And if you don't need

1467
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: the pro version. By the way, the iPhone sixteen E

1468
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: is an excellent phone for just six hundred bucks. Let's

1469
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: see here. Debra writes in I was in Jamala job Jamala,

1470
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, for the weekend somewhere in California and

1471
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: had to take a work meeting. Sure enough, not a

1472
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 1: strong enough signal. I go there every six months and

1473
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: I usually camp tell me more about satellite internet. Couldn't

1474
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,640
Speaker 1: replace the T mobile I used for both home and

1475
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: cellular chat. GBT says Starlink is best, and even though

1476
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm not an Elon fan, I'll look past that to

1477
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: get reception everywhere. Well, I don't think Elon himself is

1478
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 1: delivering the Internet to your device, so I think you

1479
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: can be okay with that. He might have he might

1480
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 1: have come up with the idea for the company, but

1481
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: I think that it's run by a lot of smart people.

1482
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, Starlink is transformative and the way it's brought

1483
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 1: Internet to the far reaches of the planet in places

1484
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,839
Speaker 1: that never had it. And by the way, it's really fast.

1485
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about Internet on planes, it's

1486
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: pretty much unusable unless they've got the new Starlink. So

1487
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: it's done a lot of great things and I'm a

1488
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: big fan of it. It is very good. It is

1489
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: very reliable, especially for portable satellite internet. So let's see,

1490
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 1: couldn't replace the T mobile I use for both home

1491
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: and cellular. No, T Mobile is the connection on your phone.

1492
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 1: Starlink is more of a think about it as like

1493
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 1: a hotspot. So if you went to this location that's

1494
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: remote and you don't have a strong enough signal, what

1495
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: you would do is you would set up this starlink.

1496
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: They have a kit that's sort of mobile, would set

1497
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: that up and that would give you broadband Internet, so

1498
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: sort of like a Wi Fi signal for all your devices,

1499
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: including your phone. Now, could you use that for your

1500
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: traditional calls and text? Probably if you set up Wi

1501
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,680
Speaker 1: Fi calling, I know people have used starlink for that.

1502
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: You can use it for anything that you would use

1503
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,719
Speaker 1: Wi Fi for, So that would work, but you would

1504
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,639
Speaker 1: still use the T mobile for your standard Internet.

1505
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 3: Now.

1506
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: T mobile's good, it works in a lot of places.

1507
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen to work in this one place,

1508
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it's unusable. It just means you would

1509
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,759
Speaker 1: get this starlink to supplement it. Now, Starlink's not cheap.

1510
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of expensive for the hardware and then you

1511
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: got to pay monthly. But if you're going to this

1512
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 1: place every six months and usually camp and you need

1513
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,440
Speaker 1: to take work calls. I think it's probably worth the investment,

1514
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: and I think Starlink just came out with the new

1515
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,679
Speaker 1: plan where you can just kind of use it on demand,

1516
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: but I'd have to check that they're constantly changing their

1517
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: offerings because it's brand new, and so if you if

1518
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: you need it, I'd say go for it. It's going

1519
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: to work really, really well. Thanks for emailing in. Rich

1520
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,759
Speaker 1: on tech dot tv is the place to go. Mark

1521
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,560
Speaker 1: from upland rights in. Is there really any way to

1522
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: block junk or bulk emails? I try to block them,

1523
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: but they keep showing up on my desktop PC AOL

1524
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: told me the only real solution is to change my

1525
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: email address, which is not going to work for me.

1526
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: I enjoy your segments on TV. I listen to you

1527
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: on the radio and I'm in the car. Thanks for

1528
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: your time. So a couple of things. Here's my tried

1529
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: and true method for handling spam. Number one, unsubscribe to

1530
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 1: legitimate emails. So if you're getting an email from a

1531
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,799
Speaker 1: company that I consider legitimate okay, like a home depot,

1532
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: a Mac's, or anyone that's using a mailing list service

1533
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: like a Mailchimp or Constant Contact or whatever, they are

1534
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: going to honor the unsubscribed link that is inside that email,

1535
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: so I'm not kidding. One of my favorite pastimes I

1536
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier in the show, is to watch people

1537
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: on their phones. So, if you're around me and your

1538
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: phone is unlocked and you don't have one of those

1539
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 1: privacy screens, I'm watching what you're doing on your phone. Yes,

1540
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: go ahead judge me for it, but I'm kind of curious.

1541
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 1: It's like a little focus group. And what I normally

1542
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: see is people scrolling through through their email and their

1543
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 1: inbox is filled with nonsense. All these emails from every

1544
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: company you've ever done business with. And I get it.

1545
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: You're getting deals, you're getting offers. You don't need it

1546
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: unsubscribed to anything, be crazy about it. Yes, you made

1547
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: a purchase at home Depot. You don't need to know

1548
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: about every Home Depot deal or sale or offer going

1549
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 1: on for the rest of your life. Get rid of it.

1550
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: When you need to shop at Home Depot again, you'll

1551
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 1: find them Macy same thing. Yeah, they send twenty percent

1552
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: coupons every week. Get rid of it. So that's number

1553
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:57,759
Speaker 1: one for the suspicious emails. You know anything that looks

1554
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: like hmm, did I ever sign up for this, don't

1555
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 1: open them, delete them immediately, or you can mark them

1556
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: as spam. This will help train sort of your email

1557
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 1: filter over time. It'll send the signals to Gmail and

1558
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: AOL that these emails are bogus. So that's what I

1559
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 1: would do there. And then the other These are the

1560
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: two pro tips. Number one, turn off remote image loading,

1561
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 1: so on my email, no images load by default. I

1562
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: have to toggle on the images for every single email

1563
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: that comes to my box. Now that may seem like

1564
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: a pain, and yes it is, but guess what my

1565
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: email address is everywhere? And I can tell you the

1566
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: amount of spam in my inbox is maybe maybe one two,

1567
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: three times a week, very very limited spam. Why because

1568
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 1: when people send me an email, these spammers that if

1569
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: you have your images loading, they're using an image tracking

1570
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: service to know when you've opened up the email. And

1571
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: so when you open up that email, it sends a

1572
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: signal back to the spammers. It says, hey, we got

1573
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,719
Speaker 1: a live one. They're opening their email. This one works

1574
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: and that tells them to send more emails. So by

1575
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: turning off this remote image loading, they can't get those

1576
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 1: signals and it gets you less emails. Or less less

1577
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: spam emails. Uh. The other thing you can do, and

1578
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: I this is my real pro tip, is create a filter. Okay,

1579
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: all the email services allow you to create a filter.

1580
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: So when you create that filter, put the put the

1581
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: filter in that says has the words and type in

1582
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:32,839
Speaker 1: unsubscribe and create a filter, and then tag that email.

1583
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: Any email that comes in with the word unsubscribe in

1584
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 1: the body, tag it with a with the term unsubscribe eligible.

1585
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: So when emails come into my inbox, every single one

1586
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 1: that has the word unsubscribe is tagged with a little

1587
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 1: label that says unsubscribe eligible. And that sends me a

1588
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: reminder every single day that oh, I can unsubscribe to

1589
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: this email. And believe me, I do it a lot.

1590
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 1: I am unsubscribing to emails multiple times per day. If

1591
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: it's got that link and I don't need it and

1592
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 1: I don't want it again, I'm unsubscribing. And so that's

1593
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 1: my pro tip is really use that to your advantage.

1594
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: And once you start getting in the habit, it's kind

1595
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: of like I call it good email and inbox hygiene.

1596
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: Get into that habit and your inbox will be tamed

1597
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 1: and you won't be in this world of like I mean,

1598
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,839
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I have good friends. Their entire inbox

1599
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 1: is just filled one hundred flowers. All these things every

1600
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: company they've ever done business with is in their face

1601
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 1: on a daily business not on a daily basis. Not

1602
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: only does that make you spend more money, but it's

1603
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: like you got to sift through all the stuff to

1604
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: just get to the emails that are important. So do it.

1605
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Sherry writes in from Riverside, California. With Mother's Day and

1606
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,799
Speaker 1: Father's Day coming up, I'm looking to upgrade my parents'

1607
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: old box TV to something better. They don't have internet

1608
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: or smart devices. They just need a basic, non smart

1609
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 1: plugin TV, ideally forty inches ten ADP. I'm looking for suggestions. Well,

1610
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 1: it is really tough to find a non smart TV

1611
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: these days. Every TV is smart, but you can. There's

1612
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:16,640
Speaker 1: two brands to look into. Septor s C E, P

1613
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 1: t R E. They sell TVs that are not smart,

1614
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 1: and Insignia they may sell TVs that are not smart

1615
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: as well. Those are very basic. You can find them

1616
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:32,600
Speaker 1: in various sizes. Sceptor s C E, P t R E,

1617
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 1: Sceptor dot com. You can find them there. They sell

1618
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 1: them at various stores. Let's see here, they've got a

1619
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: four k u h d t V five hundred bucks.

1620
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: Let's see where they sell it. Looks like Amazon and

1621
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: Walmart are your etailers that sell this. So again, I mean,

1622
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to go to these lengths

1623
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 1: to go non smart, but if you want them. If

1624
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: you want a non smart TV, make sure it has

1625
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: the one fee that you need. I'm guessing is a tuner.

1626
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: If your parents are connecting like an antenna or their

1627
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: cable box, will need an HDMI input, which of course

1628
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: these will have. So just make sure that they have

1629
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:13,559
Speaker 1: those two key features if you're connecting things that you want.

1630
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: But it's tough. It is really tough to find a

1631
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: non smart TV these days. Not so tough to find

1632
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: a non smart person like me. Rich on Tech. Dot

1642
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:57,799
Speaker 7: I'm going on a cruise and I had a question

1643
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,599
Speaker 7: if you had experience with a gigs guy or internet

1644
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 7: service made by sailor at sea?

1645
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 2: Is it?

1646
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 10: What's forth it?

1647
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: I do have experience with gigsky. I don't have experience

1648
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: with cruises because I've never been on one. Can you

1649
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 1: believe that?

1650
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 7: That's crazy?

1651
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 9: Wait a minute, You've never been on a cruise.

1652
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: Never I've been on a cruise ship. We're going on

1653
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 1: a cruise. We're going on a vacation. I'm never going

1654
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: on a cruise. Yes you are, that's the problem. Yes,

1655
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: you are. Never.

1656
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:29,839
Speaker 9: No, I'm talking to the wife. We're going on a cruise.

1657
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: She's never going on one. No, she actually has been

1658
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:34,679
Speaker 1: on one, and she loves them exactly.

1659
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 9: So we're going to go.

1660
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: It's it's been a we have a very happy marriage,

1661
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: but it's been a I'm gonna let you.

1662
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 9: Finish talking to This is a shocker to me. Sorry, Nikki.

1663
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's the deal. I do have. I do

1664
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 1: have experience with gigsky. I have tested they are a

1665
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: very good e SIM provider in fact, if you have

1666
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: a visa card or you just want to test them out,

1667
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: they will give you a free SIM for like one

1668
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: hundred megabytes, which is not a ton. But if you're

1669
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,799
Speaker 1: traveling to an international destination you want to just try

1670
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: and ease him, you can try them out. When it

1671
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:11,720
Speaker 1: comes to the idea of the cruise on gigs guy,

1672
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 1: what are they offering you? Are they saying it's going

1673
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: to work on the cruise ship.

1674
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 7: I haven't talked to gigs guys, but I just have

1675
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 7: a hard time getting off of five hundred dollars for

1676
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 7: the sky link that in the past hasn't worked at all. Yes,

1677
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 7: here from friends that it's sometimey and they are very

1678
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,639
Speaker 7: just very really unhappy and because of their refund.

1679
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're talking about Wi Fi on the ship. Yeah,

1680
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: terrific until they switch to to starlink on these ships there,

1681
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: the Wi Fi is not even worth it. Do you

1682
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 1: need to stay connected for any particular reason.

1683
01:25:54,360 --> 01:26:01,679
Speaker 7: I'm exchanging emails from work and doing a videos, uh

1684
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 7: trainings for work, different certifications and licenses they have to

1685
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 7: keep up, okay, and yeah, or that I have to uptate.

1686
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 7: So I thought it would be a good time to

1687
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:13,879
Speaker 7: do it because I've had downtime.

1688
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: Okay, so what and who's your who is your carrier

1689
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 1: through your primary carrier?

1690
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 4: Oh?

1691
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: It is okay. So I was gonna say, because AT

1692
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: and T just added some plans for for their cruise ships.

1693
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:31,799
Speaker 1: You know, they have like built in I'm looking at Verizon.

1694
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 1: So long story short, when it comes to gigs, guy,

1695
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: if you are traveling in an area where they have

1696
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:40,560
Speaker 1: an offshore plan, you'll have some coverage. So their offshore

1697
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: plans are mainly in the North Sea and the Gulf

1698
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 1: of Mexico. Are you going to those two places?

1699
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 7: I'll be in the Atlantic, on the west coast of Africa.

1700
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 7: I'll be doing ten ports okay, from South Africa up

1701
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:58,639
Speaker 7: to Morocco and Barcelona City.

1702
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Uh is that in the North Sea? Maybe my

1703
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 1: geography is not very good. Okay, then okay, So it

1704
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like it doesn't sound like they are going

1705
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: to have the coverage you need out there in the sea,

1706
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 1: so I would not go that way. The other way

1707
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: is Verizon does have the cruise daily Pass, which is

1708
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:24,919
Speaker 1: twenty dollars per day, and so that may give you coverage,

1709
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: but it has to be on the thing about it

1710
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 1: is your the cruise ship has to have the connection

1711
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: to your you know, your service, or it has to

1712
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: have you know, or you have to be close to

1713
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: land where it's going to just latch on to the service.

1714
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,760
Speaker 1: That's sort of you know on land as general, you're

1715
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: not going to be pulling a signal from the sky

1716
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 1: for verizons. That makes sense because there's no like cell

1717
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 1: tower out there. So that's the main thing is you

1718
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 1: have to see if the if the cruise has any

1719
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: sort of connection to Verizon or if that will work.

1720
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 1: So I would first go to Verizon and see what

1721
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,759
Speaker 1: they have and if it's going to however, your cruise,

1722
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case. It doesn't seem

1723
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 1: like it just looks like.

1724
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 7: Three horizons about three times and it seems like they

1725
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:09,440
Speaker 7: don't have Yeah, okay.

1726
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 1: So uh the short answer, Nikki is that you're probably

1727
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,120
Speaker 1: if you need to stay connected, you're probably gonna have

1728
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 1: to go with what's on your cruise or the alternative.

1729
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: Are you going to any ports while you're there? Are

1730
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: you going to land at all? Are you doing that?

1731
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1732
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, we're hopping all over up and down the coach.

1733
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so the then the other option is to just

1734
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 1: get a an e SIM for the area that you're visiting.

1735
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 1: You said Africa, so you can get a nis SIM

1736
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: for Africa and then use your phone when you get

1737
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: to those destinations and do all your connection and all

1738
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 1: your training. So it sounds to me like you're gonna

1739
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: be on this cruise ship enjoying, partying. Then when you

1740
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 1: get to Africa instead of sight seeing, you're gonna be

1741
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 1: doing these harassment trainings for your work or whatever.

1742
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 7: No, I'm flying to Africa and then we're gonna do

1743
01:28:56,200 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 7: the cruise or twenty days, twenty one day, So it

1744
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:02,759
Speaker 7: looks like I'm just gonna be a joy the vacation.

1745
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's what I would say. Tell your work. Look,

1746
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm on vacation. I'm seeing things I've never seen before.

1747
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: Give me a break here. But at the end of

1748
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: the day, the cruise they do offer, it's very confusing

1749
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,519
Speaker 1: because it's got the cruise plus the world plan. It

1750
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 1: all depends on is there going to be coverage out

1751
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:24,600
Speaker 1: at sea. But I would definitely go with the e

1752
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 1: SIM for sure. At least you have it when you

1753
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:29,640
Speaker 1: get to land and you can do all of your

1754
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 1: trainings and things like that, but keep it limited. You know,

1755
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 1: don't don't spend your whole vacation working. The whole point

1756
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: of the vacation is to be away from work and

1757
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 1: to reset your mind, So enjoy that time. Eight of

1758
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:44,840
Speaker 1: eight rich one oh one rich on tech dot TV.

1759
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna talk to Josh Aux about how

1760
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 1: students can stay bright online. Welcome back to rich on

1761
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: tech rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology.

Speaker 1: The website for the show with all the notes rich

1763
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:04,760
Speaker 1: on tech dot TV. Now, I told you I was

1764
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: watching that show on Netflix, Adolescent. If you haven't watched it,

1765
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 1: ado lessince okay, at a less, since it's like a

1766
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 1: four part series on Netflix. My wife watched it. You know,

1767
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: she's big into like this. You know, she's like a

1768
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: school therapist, so she's big into that world and just said,

1769
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 1: you have to watch this. And I haven't gotten to

1770
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 1: the end, so I don't know what happens, but it's

1771
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 1: you know, it's definitely an interesting show the way they

1772
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 1: do it, and our next guest is kind of in

1773
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 1: the thick of it when it comes to all these

1774
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 1: issues affecting teens and their parents and social media and

1775
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 1: now of course AI. Josh Oux runs a website called

1776
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:44,200
Speaker 1: smartsocial dot com. It's got a couple of books out

1777
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 1: about how parents and students can use social media and

1778
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 1: now AI tools to build a positive online reputation. Josh

1779
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

1780
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 5: Hey, Rich, it's great to have you. Great to be

1781
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:56,759
Speaker 5: here with you. It's so so fun.

1782
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we've we've known each other for a long time.

1783
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 1: You've been doing this for a very long time. What

1784
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 1: do you think has changed? I mean, I know what

1785
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 1: the answer is. It is probably AI. But I mean,

1786
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 1: what's changed the most since you've started helping teens become

1787
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 1: their best? You know online?

1788
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 5: You know you just hit on it earlier. It's not AI.

1789
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 5: AI is huge. We talk about it a lot, and

1790
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:19,120
Speaker 5: I do think all the parents listening right now you

1791
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:21,280
Speaker 5: need to be on AI as much as you possibly can.

1792
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 5: It is like the Microsoft word of twenty years ago.

1793
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,720
Speaker 5: It won't replace you, but somebody that knows how to

1794
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:26,439
Speaker 5: use it might.

1795
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 3: Rich.

1796
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 5: The real problem right now is the addictive nature of

1797
01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:33,519
Speaker 5: all of the apps that shall go unnamed, and.

1798
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 1: We'll name them. I don't care, we'll name them.

1799
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 5: We're on the radio. Meta owns Instagram and Facebook, and

1800
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 5: they have psychologists working there that use the color red

1801
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 5: and they let you basically get inundated with the dopamine

1802
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 5: that's in there. TikTok is the world's best at it,

1803
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:51,600
Speaker 5: I would argue, and you might agree. And there's X

1804
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,679
Speaker 5: and so diving in and getting addicted to these apps

1805
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 5: is probably the biggest thing that's happened over the last

1806
01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:59,759
Speaker 5: few years since you first interviewed me in twenty twelve.

1807
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 5: Back then, it wasn't as addictive. It was just online.

1808
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 5: And now it's gotten to where Kids the Adolescent's the

1809
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 5: TV show and a lot of other screen time books

1810
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 5: right now that are coming out are saying that kids

1811
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 5: just can't disconnect.

1812
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I read the Jonathan hey Or's Jonathan Heighte

1813
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 1: Jonathan Ate book the I mean that book was really

1814
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:24,640
Speaker 1: eye opening for the idea that kids are just you know,

1815
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:27,519
Speaker 1: there's just the anxious generation. I mean, that's what it's

1816
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: all about. Like, you know, it's the idea that you're

1817
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:33,639
Speaker 1: never disconnected. You're exposed to more at an earlier age

1818
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 1: than ever, and you're processing all this stuff that you

1819
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:38,720
Speaker 1: never really had to process at nine years old or

1820
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 1: ten years old. Or eleven years old. So what do

1821
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:44,800
Speaker 1: you kind of what's your I guess how do you

1822
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:47,160
Speaker 1: approach this with parents and teachers? I know you speak

1823
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 1: at a lot of schools, So how do you approach this?

1824
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:52,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I used to speak at schools all over the country, Rich,

1825
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 5: Right right when I first met you, I got a

1826
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,559
Speaker 5: lot of calls. I started talking to people about shining

1827
01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 5: online and my book called Light, Bright and Polite. School

1828
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 5: high schools, middle schools across the country would say, can

1829
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,720
Speaker 5: you fly here? We got a problem with Instagram. These

1830
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 5: kids are not never getting hired because of the mistakes

1831
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:10,720
Speaker 5: they're making. They're they're posting bomb threats thinking it's funny,

1832
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 5: and so all these problems started happening, and I became

1833
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 5: very popular, very quickly, and it would fly all over

1834
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 5: the country. And I want to talk to everybody who's

1835
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,800
Speaker 5: listening today just about a couple of little, tiny ideas.

1836
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 5: One of the biggest questions you had for me, Rich

1837
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 5: was what does it mean to shine online? And I

1838
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 5: want to equate it for everybody, all of our listeners today.

1839
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:33,519
Speaker 5: It's kind of like driving a car. You wouldn't at

1840
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:36,120
Speaker 5: the very last moment in California, you can get like

1841
01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:38,719
Speaker 5: a learners permit at fifteen and a half or fifteen,

1842
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 5: and then at sixteen most of the country you can

1843
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 5: start driving. You wouldn't give your kids that ease at

1844
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 5: sixteen and say here you go, have fun and I'm

1845
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 5: going to teach you on that day everything you need

1846
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:50,960
Speaker 5: to know. You teach them at the age of ten

1847
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 5: to twelve, all way up to fourteen and a half.

1848
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,000
Speaker 5: This is what distracted driving. This is why it's bad.

1849
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 5: This is what good driving is. Mom and Dad teach

1850
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 5: them and we will. If you're at smart social dot

1851
01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:05,879
Speaker 5: com that teaching them social media safety and being positive

1852
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 5: online is exactly the same. It starts early and it models.

1853
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 5: You have to model that soon early and Rich. What

1854
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 5: you're saying about too much screen time and anxious generation

1855
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 5: is a lot of parents don't know that they have

1856
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:19,679
Speaker 5: the right to You know what, let's not have any

1857
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 5: devices during dinner and there's all these tools that we

1858
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:25,080
Speaker 5: can get into in a sec But in addition, what

1859
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:27,599
Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today is about shining online,

1860
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:30,400
Speaker 5: teaching kids that you can put all of your accomplishments

1861
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 5: online so that when a college, a future employer in

1862
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 5: internship sees you they get this warm, fuzzy feeling that

1863
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 5: this is a great candidate that would be a good

1864
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 5: fit for my college, maybe our company, our internship. They'd

1865
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 5: be a part of our culture and we'd be proud

1866
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 5: for clients to see them.

1867
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 1: Now, most most kids, let's be honest, are using expiring

1868
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 1: media like Snapchat or Instagram Stories, and so they feel

1869
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 1: like whatever's on there, nobody's gonna see. And so that's

1870
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:01,840
Speaker 1: why they are as open and and silly and scandalous

1871
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:04,519
Speaker 1: as they are on these platforms that, by the way,

1872
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:06,680
Speaker 1: parents are not really too hip on because they're not

1873
01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:10,800
Speaker 1: monitoring that. How can they see it? So is that

1874
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,200
Speaker 1: a problem that they're doing this stuff on these platforms

1875
01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 1: where it disappears.

1876
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's talk about Snapchat first. That's the original expiring media.

1877
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:19,599
Speaker 5: They had to promise that, oh, it'll disappear in an

1878
01:35:19,640 --> 01:35:21,920
Speaker 5: hour or twenty four hours, depending on what your little

1879
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 5: setting was. Parent's the best thing that we suggest to

1880
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 5: people enrich the thing that and you're a dad of

1881
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 5: a couple boys, the best thing that we recommend to

1882
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:35,720
Speaker 5: kids these days is sit down and google things with

1883
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:38,559
Speaker 5: your kids. And that might mean googling your kids' names,

1884
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 5: be specific in my case, it's Josh Oakes. And if

1885
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 5: you're probably thinking, oh, my kid isn't online, there's a

1886
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 5: lot of listeners thinking right now, my kid isn't online,

1887
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:49,080
Speaker 5: so I don't have to worry about that until the

1888
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:52,400
Speaker 5: day that they are. You'd be shocked parents that the

1889
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 5: middle school, the elementary school actually will build a presy,

1890
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 5: which is a little tiny kind of an online animated

1891
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:01,719
Speaker 5: version of PowerPoint, and the kids will start creating things

1892
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 5: at school not to put things online without their parents

1893
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:08,880
Speaker 5: knowing that. They don't know that everything leaks online. Back

1894
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 5: to your question, Josh, is Snapchat safe for my kids?

1895
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:14,759
Speaker 5: Typically not below the age of thirteen, and we suggest

1896
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:16,639
Speaker 5: more like the age of sixteen. Your kids will hate

1897
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 5: me for saying that. But nothing really disappears, parents, And

1898
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:21,720
Speaker 5: when you go to Google, you'll start to see that

1899
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 5: a one screenshot of that Snapchat story or disappearing message

1900
01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:30,839
Speaker 5: on any other app can get posted and put online

1901
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 5: anywhere else, and it can then a friend can share

1902
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 5: it and it's online for your students or your kids

1903
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:38,160
Speaker 5: Google results forever.

1904
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, kids will hate us for saying anything. I mean,

1905
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, no matter what it's And this has been

1906
01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 1: going on forever, whether it's social media or something else

1907
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 1: that parents sort of know about that kids don't. You

1908
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 1: know where parents know better? But what are some of

1909
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,439
Speaker 1: the apps? I know that you mentioned snapchat, but I mean,

1910
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 1: is there anything new and up and coming that parents

1911
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 1: should be aware of. I know there's always something like

1912
01:36:59,080 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 1: bubbling up.

1913
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:02,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, the hottest biggest apps right now are going to

1914
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:06,840
Speaker 5: be X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat. Your kids probably aren't

1915
01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 5: on Facebook, but it's part of the meta platform. Parents

1916
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 5: here are on Facebook. They're trying to make threads a thing.

1917
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 5: LinkedIn is one that I want parents to look at

1918
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:18,640
Speaker 5: a lot more. But really it's going to be Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok,

1919
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 5: a little bit of X, and then there's some other

1920
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:23,719
Speaker 5: ones like Reddit where kids will go in. Though Discord

1921
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,000
Speaker 5: if your kid is a gamer, and then there's the

1922
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 5: whole gaming platform thing.

1923
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 1: What's the danger of Discord because my kid keeps asking

1924
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:32,639
Speaker 1: me for that one. Is there anything dangerous about that?

1925
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 5: The problem is Discord has originally invented rich so that

1926
01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:38,800
Speaker 5: people who are playing Fortnite and other games could live

1927
01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 5: chat with other people in the room and either do

1928
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,720
Speaker 5: audio or text chat and stuff like that there's a

1929
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:45,680
Speaker 5: lot of people Rich who yeah, and I think you

1930
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:48,120
Speaker 5: got two boys. You and I are friends on Instagram

1931
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 5: and I think that, or we believe based on all

1932
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:54,720
Speaker 5: of our research at smartsocial dot com, there's a lot

1933
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:57,439
Speaker 5: of people who And in fact, here's what the predators

1934
01:37:57,439 --> 01:38:01,080
Speaker 5: would love, Rich, give your kids discord because I want

1935
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:04,320
Speaker 5: full access. A predator would say that I'd love full

1936
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 5: access to your kids and you won't know, and then

1937
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:10,480
Speaker 5: we can jump between different things. So that's the proble.

1938
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:12,680
Speaker 1: Side of the like if you're on roadblocks, like a

1939
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:15,240
Speaker 1: common thing is on roadblocks, they control the chat to

1940
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 1: a certain extent. Obviously, like anything else, kids get around it.

1941
01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 1: But the idea is that the chat is sort of

1942
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,720
Speaker 1: filtered and controlled, and so these people say, let's go

1943
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 1: outside of this, that we can be much more open

1944
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 1: in our chats. We can have a full fledged chat

1945
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 1: versus what they allow and the parameters of this game. Now,

1946
01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:35,040
Speaker 1: that may be fine if the only other people on

1947
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: there were other, you know, ten thirteen year olds, but

1948
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:40,680
Speaker 1: like you're saying, there are people that are clued into that,

1949
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:44,040
Speaker 1: and they go into these games specifically targeting these kids

1950
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:48,440
Speaker 1: with this sort of outside conversation exactly.

1951
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 5: So parents, just to recap the answer here, Rich and

1952
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:54,200
Speaker 5: I are not negative people. We want you to know

1953
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:55,840
Speaker 5: that there is a lot of safety and this is

1954
01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 5: our mottoismart Social Keep your kids safe so they can

1955
01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:01,280
Speaker 5: be successful while they're in your wall and living in

1956
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 5: your house and at school, so they can someday shine

1957
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 5: online and get that dream job. They're really the answer

1958
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 5: to a lot of the safety parents. It's not I

1959
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:10,959
Speaker 5: know there's a lot of parents right now listening, Josh.

1960
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:14,559
Speaker 5: I have parental controls my kids safe, right and Rich,

1961
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 5: what I want to tell the listeners today is parental control.

1962
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,439
Speaker 5: Kids are the world's best entrepreneurs. They're so clever, they

1963
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,320
Speaker 5: get around everything. It's just a challenge. And they don't

1964
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 5: have to pay for their new phone, so if they

1965
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 5: break it, they just push all the buttons and they

1966
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 5: don't care. So the best safety app, the only safety

1967
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:34,599
Speaker 5: app in the world, parents that is going to protect

1968
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 5: your kids, is going to be a rich ongoing dialogue

1969
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:39,599
Speaker 5: with your kids. I used Rich, I used your name,

1970
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:42,200
Speaker 5: but it's going to be that ongoing dialogue.

1971
01:39:42,080 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 1: Like, wait, do you have to talk to all the

1972
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:45,479
Speaker 1: kids in the world. Oh my gosh, that's gonna I'm

1973
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:46,719
Speaker 1: gonna be like Santa Claus.

1974
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:49,640
Speaker 5: That's a great idea. We're gonna get you one of

1975
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 5: those someday. Okay, But it's having that ongoing dialogue parents,

1976
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 5: and it's open ended questions. Then typically kids aren't gonna

1977
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 5: want to come to you and talk like that. So

1978
01:39:57,720 --> 01:39:59,760
Speaker 5: it's in the car ride home. Boys do not want

1979
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 5: to tal face to face. They want to be shoulder

1980
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:03,559
Speaker 5: to shoulder. A lot of parents will tell you, and

1981
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:05,360
Speaker 5: it could be around the dinner table when you don't

1982
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:08,719
Speaker 5: have a device. That ongoing dialogue is really the only

1983
01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 5: thing that's going to protect you these days. Sorry, it's

1984
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 5: not Microsoft, it's not Google, it's not oh but I

1985
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:15,519
Speaker 5: have this one app that probably not going to be

1986
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 5: able to reach into all the other apps. See who's

1987
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 5: what Predators are trying to chat with your kids?

1988
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:21,920
Speaker 1: I tell them. I sit down to dinner and I

1989
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:23,960
Speaker 1: just tell my kids, like, hey, ask me anything, what

1990
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:25,639
Speaker 1: do you want to know about? I'm like, there's nothing

1991
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 1: off topic, Like just just ask me, you know, because

1992
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:29,880
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I mean, I think that

1993
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 1: parents have gotten more open with their kids this day

1994
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:34,800
Speaker 1: and age, but like when I grew up, I don't

1995
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:36,639
Speaker 1: think parents were like that. Like I didn't really ask

1996
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 1: my parents a lot of like, you know, the questions

1997
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 1: that my kids come up with, that's for sure. They're

1998
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 1: much more comfortable asking me all kinds of stuff than

1999
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: I was. So we what is your advice? I mean,

2000
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 1: where do parents start if they're feeling overwhelmed? Where do

2001
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 1: they start? Is it the conversation?

2002
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2003
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:56,719
Speaker 5: So, first of all, parents, it's a great question, rich parents,

2004
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 5: don't be so hard on yourself. As I've spoken to

2005
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 5: a quarter of a million kids in twenty nine states.

2006
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:03,320
Speaker 5: As I used to be a traveling speaker and now

2007
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:06,639
Speaker 5: we do everything online, a lot of parents would tell me, Josh,

2008
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 5: I'm just not tech savvy. I just can't catch up

2009
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 5: to this. And I want everybody to slightly tweak those

2010
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:13,720
Speaker 5: words so we're a little nicer to ourselves. Rather than

2011
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 5: I'm not good at snapchat. Let's say the words I'm

2012
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:19,559
Speaker 5: learning snapchat, so that every time you're approaching this your

2013
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 5: kids moving fast, explain stuff you're learning. You're being open minded.

2014
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:26,080
Speaker 5: The second thing I want everybody to do today is

2015
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,680
Speaker 5: make your kids the expert. You know. Rich, you said,

2016
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 5: let's sit around the dinner table and let your kids

2017
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:34,160
Speaker 5: ask you questions. I also I would argue that it's

2018
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 5: good to go the other way, Hey can you teach

2019
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 5: me this? Never before in the history of the world

2020
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 5: has a child under the age of fifteen been an

2021
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:42,920
Speaker 5: expert at something that their parents had. I mean, back

2022
01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 5: in farming, you had to learn over thirty years how

2023
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:48,240
Speaker 5: to be a great farmer. Nowadays you learn over three

2024
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 5: minutes how to press buttons. And you're better at your

2025
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:53,000
Speaker 5: parents than your parents are at that tool. So parents,

2026
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 5: don't be afraid. And watch the look on your kids'

2027
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:57,719
Speaker 5: face when you go, hey, can you teach me this game?

2028
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:00,600
Speaker 5: You're interested in that Fortnite or whatever it is Minecraft.

2029
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 5: Watch how interesting it is for your kids. Now, if

2030
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 5: they're hiding something, they'll say, no, I don't want you playing. Okay,

2031
01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 5: now you've opened a dialog why is that? But all

2032
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 5: of a sudden might go, wow, my mom is interested

2033
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:14,679
Speaker 5: in this game, And if they see something inappropriate, they're

2034
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 5: more inclined to go to their mom go to their

2035
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:18,640
Speaker 5: dad because they don't know who to go to talk to.

2036
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 5: But mom and dad were trying to learn about it.

2037
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:23,559
Speaker 1: I love that advice, and my kids were very excited

2038
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: when I set up a roadblocks account, which I still

2039
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:28,639
Speaker 1: haven't used to this day, but hey maybe one day.

2040
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 1: All right, Josh Oakes, we're gonna leave it there. Smartsocial

Speaker 1: up the feedback right here on rich on Tech. Oh wow,

2047
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:54,280
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Bobo dance all show until we play

2048
01:42:54,320 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 1: some tailor. You got jokes?

2049
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:01,400
Speaker 9: Who's we going on? Let's talk about it.

2050
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 1: We'll go on the Taylor Swift Cruise. You can dance

2051
01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:07,559
Speaker 1: the whole time. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

2052
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:11,000
Speaker 1: Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology. We're gonna

2053
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,519
Speaker 1: get to the feedbag. I gotta tell you about this

2054
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: new browser extension via life Hacker discovered this and it's great.

2055
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 1: So YouTube is great, and it's got all kinds of

2056
01:43:23,560 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 1: features and things like this, but it's got too much

2057
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:29,719
Speaker 1: going on, right, So this browser extension lets you take

2058
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 1: back control. It works with all the major web browsers,

2059
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 1: So it's not gonna work on your phone. It's gonna

2060
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:38,720
Speaker 1: work on your desktop, So the mobile experience is still

2061
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:40,559
Speaker 1: going to be the same kind of cluttered mess. But

2062
01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:44,160
Speaker 1: on your desktop you can hide distractions like all those

2063
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 1: shorts if you don't want to watch those related videos,

2064
01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: end screen suggestions comments. You can also make it so

2065
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:55,919
Speaker 1: it always shows video chapters, It auto expands, the description,

2066
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:59,360
Speaker 1: launches in theater mode. I mean, there's just so many

2067
01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:02,760
Speaker 1: things you can high the comments, it's really really cool.

2068
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:09,799
Speaker 1: It's called on trap untrap dot app, untrap dot app,

2069
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:12,640
Speaker 1: and so you install it and once you once you

2070
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:16,720
Speaker 1: go to YouTube, it looks exactly how you want it.

2071
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 1: So when I go to YouTube, when I play a video,

2072
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so number one. I expanded the description.

2073
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:27,760
Speaker 1: I hid the comments because I don't know, if you know,

2074
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 1: if you've ever read the comments on YouTube, has there

2075
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 1: ever been a constructive comment on YouTube? I'm not sure

2076
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:40,280
Speaker 1: one of those exists. Has there ever been a smart

2077
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:44,000
Speaker 1: comment on YouTube? I'm not sure that exists. Why do

2078
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:47,320
Speaker 1: we need comments on YouTube? They just don't add anything.

2079
01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 1: So I've blocked those. But I'm talking on this on Trap.

2080
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 1: You've got two hundred and eighty three settings you can change.

2081
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:58,240
Speaker 1: When I tell you anything you want to modify, you

2082
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:01,840
Speaker 1: can do it. And I don't think YouTube can stop

2083
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:04,520
Speaker 1: this because I think they're just doing like JavaScript modification

2084
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 1: on your browser locally. So YouTube is none the wiser.

2085
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,919
Speaker 1: But this is really really fantastic game. It's called Untrapped,

2086
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:14,960
Speaker 1: very very handy. If you like YouTube, I'll put a

2087
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:17,439
Speaker 1: link to it on the website. Rich on tech dot

2088
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 1: tv Gym rights in OMG, Rich, you just said Golf

2089
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 1: of Mexico on the call about the cruise. I hope

2090
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:29,679
Speaker 1: the FCC isn't waiting for you in the parking lot. Oh,

2091
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:34,479
Speaker 1: Golf of America. My formal correction, Golf of America got

2092
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:37,760
Speaker 1: to update your website. Gigs Guy Mark writes in I

2093
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:39,320
Speaker 1: missed the beginning of the call, but I heard you

2094
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 1: mentioned starlink on cruise ships. I guess the caller set

2095
01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 1: are shipped and have it. Luckily most do now, although

2096
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: speeds are heavily throttled, usually around four down, four up. Ooh.

2097
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,840
Speaker 1: It's usable, but not ideal for things like a WORKVPN.

2098
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't get why airplanes starlink seems unthrottled. Maybe it's

2099
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:56,799
Speaker 1: the number of people on board a ship. You mentioned

2100
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 1: you never went cruising. My wife made me do it.

2101
01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:02,559
Speaker 1: My biggest issue the unlimited food. I gained ten pounds

2102
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: every time just got back from a Japan cruise. Also,

2103
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:07,960
Speaker 1: being a celebrity, I imagine you'd get approached a lot

2104
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 1: on board. I don't think people would be you'd be

2105
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:16,080
Speaker 1: surprised they would. I mean, look, here, here's the thing

2106
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 1: about me. You either know who I am or you don't.

2107
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:22,280
Speaker 1: There is no in between. So you either come right

2108
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:23,640
Speaker 1: up to me and say hey, Rich, I like you

2109
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:27,160
Speaker 1: on TV or on the radio or not. So I

2110
01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:31,280
Speaker 1: can travel many places without people saying anything. But yes,

2111
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:32,760
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that do come up

2112
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:35,120
Speaker 1: and say something, and I'm fine with it. If they didn't,

2113
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 1: something's wrong because that means that nobody cares about what

2114
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm doing. So if you see me, yes, you can

2115
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 1: say hi to me. Hi, Rich Chuck writes in I

2116
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,200
Speaker 1: was just listening to your podcast. You had a caller

2117
01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:50,960
Speaker 1: whose phone GPS stopped working after a battery replacement. I

2118
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 1: suggest they go back to the repair shop and ask

2119
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 1: them to check to see if a wire was left unplugged.

2120
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:57,960
Speaker 1: Sounds like something simple that could have been missed. Oh

2121
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:04,160
Speaker 1: that's a good suggestion there. Niella in Westchester, Pennsylvania writes
