1
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: My review of the new AirPods and why I might

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: be switching from the pros. Amazon's new TVs are now available.

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: There's a new family filter for your home internet service

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: that's free. Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: on Rich Demiro And this is Rich on Tech, the

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place right answer

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: the questions you sent me. I'm the tech reporter at

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Thanks for watching on

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: television if you so choose to do that. Otherwise, maybe

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: you've discovered me online somewhere. Thanks for tuning in. I

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: decided that I am going to start sharing a little

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: bit more behind the scenes, a little inside baseball about

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: my job on LinkedIn.

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: And here's the reason.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: So this could be a total total mistake, but a

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: couple of things going on. Number One, I feel like

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: I want to demystify a little bit of what it

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: takes to do my job. So it takes a lot,

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that go into it. There's

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: a lot of decisions that are made, there's a lot

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: of thought, there's a lot of process, and I feel

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: like young journalists people coming up in the business may

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: want to see how I do things. I don't know,

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 1: maybe they don't, maybe they don't care. Otherwise, what else

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: the thing is LinkedIn I feel like is a place

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: where when I go on there, I'm looking for sort

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: of inspiration, I'm looking for tips, I'm looking for just

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, just information. And so I felt like

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: that was a pretty good place for it. I could

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: be totally wrong. I mean, I know TikTok is where

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: everything's at, but I felt like LinkedIn maybe is a

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: better place for professionals to exchange opinions and thoughts on things.

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll continue doing it, maybe I won't. But I've

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: got my first two posts up. I'm gonna try to

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: post every day, just FYI. So I'm gonna try to

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: post every single day and some kind of like little

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: nugget behind the scenes wherever I am whatever.

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll just see.

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: I'll use all the different different faculties available to me

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: on LinkedIn. You know, whether it's a video, whether it's

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: a picture, whether it's a poll.

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: So if you want find me on LinkedIn. I don't

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: know how you search on there. Just search rich DeMuro

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: LinkedIn and follow me there. So let's get to the

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: first story of the week. I will probably end up

49
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: switching to the new AirPods. I talked about this a

50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: little bit in last week's show, the brand new Airpod's

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: third generation, but I was under embargo, couldn't really speak

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: about my impressions of them. And yeah, embargoes are kind

53
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: of a mixed bag when it comes to journalism, like

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: we love them and hate them. So it's nice that

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Apple will get me the AirPod so that I can

56
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: test them. But it's you know a lot of times

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: when companies send stuff, it's there's some sort of caveat

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: with when you can actually.

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: Speak about it.

60
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: And so is This has led to a whole joke

61
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: with MKBHD, who's one of the biggest or probably the

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: biggest tech you where he always you know, the joke

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: is when the product comes out the day comes out,

64
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: he always says, hey, guys, I've been using this product

65
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: for the last three months and here are my thoughts

66
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: on it. You know, where everyone else is like, wait,

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: we just found out about this, but you've been using

68
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: this secretly, so it led to a whole big joke

69
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: in the comment section of his stuff or any in general.

70
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: I digress.

71
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: So, I've been wearing the new air pods and these

72
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: are these standard air pods. So if you're familiar with AirPods,

73
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: you know there's the standard ones and then there's the

74
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: air Pods Pro. And so I've been using the pros

75
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: pretty much since they came out, which I love because

76
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: they the day that they came out basically enabled me

77
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: to stop carrying noise cancellation headphones on the plane, and

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: I said, wow, now I've got one set of things,

79
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: one set of earbuds for every purpose. And they're tiny,

80
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: by the way. When you're packing, that's a big deal.

81
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: And so I've liked them. But the one thing I

82
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: don't like about them is that they seal out your ears,

83
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: and that's good for noise cancelation, but it's sort of

84
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: bad for everything else if you want to hear people

85
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: around you.

86
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: If you just don't like that feeling.

87
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: And so for me, I never really liked that feeling,

88
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: but I put up with it because whatever. And now

89
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: that the AirPods have all of the same features as

90
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: the pros, except for noise cancelation and the silicone tips

91
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, basically the rubber tips at the end of them.

92
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: They're pretty much the same. And I've been using these

93
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: and I really really liked them. So bottom line, if

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: you don't need the noise cancelation, I think that the

95
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: standard Airpod's third generation are better. They may not be

96
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: a better deal because they sell for one seventy nine,

97
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: but the AirPods Pro were on sale for one ninety

98
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: nine at Target this week, so you know, people might think, oh,

99
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars more, I get the Pros. But it

100
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: depends on how you like these things to feel in

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: your ears. Now.

102
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: I went on a run with them, you.

103
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: Can see that on my Instagram at rich On Tech.

104
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: They were fantastic. They sounded good. They don't fall out

105
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: of my ears at all. I think they're comfortable. I

106
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: don't think they're as comfortable as the pros, but they're comfortable.

107
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: They feel like the kind of the colder feeling of

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: the air Pods where they're just a little harder in

109
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: your ears. The design looks very similar to the Pros.

110
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: They've got a new sensor on them that will they

111
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: get a couple of new sensors. So in the stems,

112
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: which are way smaller, there's a force sensor that you

113
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: can squeeze to like play pausure music whatever.

114
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: They also have HCII and.

115
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: They also have spatial audio Dolby Atmos Adaptive EQ, so

116
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: audio sounds really good. They've got head tracking, which is

117
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: really cool if you haven't experienced it, and then they've

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: got the sensor is the first and only on the

119
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: air pods at this point that it's a sensor that

120
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: senses your skin, so it knows if they're in your

121
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: ears or whether they're in your ears or in your pocket,

122
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: so that can help with with you know, false starts

123
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: with the music if it starts and stops or something

124
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: because you're putting them in your pocket and it's just

125
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: getting covered up. Battery life is fantastic, but you can

126
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: also charge them in a couple different ways. You can

127
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: use MagSafe or you can use standard wireless. I found

128
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: that I didn't even have to charge these things during

129
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 1: my testing because they're just so good.

130
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: And then they've got some.

131
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Find my features that can help you find them if

132
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: they're lost. So bottom line, if you don't care about noise,

133
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: cancelation or the silicone tips, then I think you go

134
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: with the standard AirPods. I think they're just better because

135
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: they just let in more of the world around you

136
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: if you like that kind of thing, and they're just

137
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: simpler to wear for me for longer periods of time.

138
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: And so unless you're on a plane all the time,

139
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: if you're on a train or some sort of noisy

140
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: situation where you like the noise cancelation, then go with.

141
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: The pros for sure.

142
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Or if you have trouble with things falling out of

143
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: your ears, I find that the AirPods Pro almost like

144
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: are like magnets into your ears. They're that good. They

145
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: just stay in there. So one hundred and seventy nine

146
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: dollars AirPods third generation available.

147
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: Now let's get to the first question.

148
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: Jerry says, since you first told us about popcart, I've

149
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: been using it.

150
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 2: It's been very helpful and I loved it.

151
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Nice to know if you're getting the best deal or

152
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: the item is cheaper somewhere else. I just got an

153
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: email they're shutting down, very disappointing.

154
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: Do you have another service that does this, Jerry, Jerry,

155
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 2: I don't.

156
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: I popcart was a service that I had not heard

157
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: of until the pandemic. And popcart basically is a little

158
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: chrome extension. And when you're shopping on a website that's supported,

159
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: like a best Buy or a Target or a game

160
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: Stop or a Low's or a Coal's, and you go

161
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: to a product, it would say, oh, hey, we found

162
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: this cheaper. And so I really don't know of a

163
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: good alternative. I really liked popcart because it so simple

164
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: and it just worked. But I did get the same

165
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: email that you got that said, hey, we're shutting down,

166
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: We're done, So I don't know what to say more

167
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: about that. Then they're just it's it, They're gone. Yeah,

168
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: I can't believe it says they've helped more than two

169
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand users, So I don't know what

170
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: to say. So you could get rid of it. I

171
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: don't know why they're shutting down. I gues two hundred

172
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand users is just not that many. The

173
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: only alternative I can think of is probably Honey, and

174
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: that's it. I think their website is get honey dot com.

175
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Let me see what their website is, Join honey dot com.

176
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: So joinhney dot com is their website and I guess

177
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: that's the best one. That's the one that I use now.

178
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: I've got that installed on my computer and it seems

179
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: to work. But to be quite honest, I mainly shop

180
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: on Amazon. I'm not doing a lot of price comparisons online.

181
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll cross check best Buy, but I think Honeywill

182
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: will be a decent replacement. But I don't know of

183
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: one good website that searches deals across various websites. I

184
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: think it's probably because all the websites want you to

185
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: shop on Amazon because they get a referral fee. So

186
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't really know. If you find one, let me know,

187
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: or if you have one, tweet me. But that's I'm

188
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: mostly Amazon anyway. I mostly shop Amazon, Target, best Buy.

189
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: That's it, so I can easily look at the prices

190
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: across those three places. But it was nice to know

191
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: if something was was on sale somewhere else. Speaking of Amazon,

192
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: Amazon's new fire TV smart TVs are now available. They

193
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: have two flavors of these, the fire TV Omni series

194
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: and the four Series. The Omni is the nicer of

195
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: the bunch. I think they're going to sell a lot

196
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: of the four series because they're so cheap, but I

197
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: would probably recommend the Omni series if you're getting serious,

198
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: and especially if you're buying the bigger size, so the

199
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: four series. A forty three inch TV is three sixty nine,

200
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: which a pretty pretty good deal. A fifty inch is

201
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: let's see here, a fifty inch is four to sixty nine,

202
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: and a fifty five inch is five p nineteen, and

203
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: then you step up to the sixty five inch Omni series,

204
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: which is better four k those I would say you

205
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: probably don't want to go less than sixty five inch.

206
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: That's eight twenty nine, and then a seventy five inch

207
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: is one thousand ninety nine. Now I need to upgrade

208
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: my tea, and I'm trying to figure out if I

209
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: should go with this, or if I should go with TCL,

210
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: or if I should go with Visio.

211
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: I've got a Visio right now. I like the TCL.

212
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I've recommended the sixth series to everyone, and so I

213
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: feel like that's a good one to get. But I

214
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: also like the software on the Fire TV. But also

215
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: now TCL makes a Google TV like it's powered by Google,

216
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 1: so I may go with that. So I'm going to

217
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: be making this decision very soon. There's kind of a

218
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: lot on my list right now things to buy, so

219
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: I need to figure out my plan for purchasing all

220
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: of these different things. But the fireTV Omnia or Omna

221
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: Omni series has everything you need. It's got hands free

222
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: voice control, it's got four K, it's got HDR, it's

223
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: got Dolby Digital Plus also Dolby Vision on the sixty

224
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: five and seventy five inch models.

225
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: It's got support for Airplay.

226
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Two coming soon, which is really neat because you can

227
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: share stuff from your phone. It's got this feature where

228
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: you can ask Alexa to play something on Netflix, so

229
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: you can just say play something on Netflix and it

230
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: will play something that it thinks you'll like. You've got

231
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: three HDMI inputs, although you probably don't need them as

232
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: much anymore because everything is built into the TV. It's

233
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: got picture and picture for the doorbell or video cameras,

234
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: which is really cool. It's got Alexa Voice video calling,

235
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: so if you plug in a supported webcam you can

236
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: do that, or you can do Zoom later this year.

237
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: It's got the fireTV remote that I love, so I

238
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm one. This one's seeming pretty good. So

239
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: it really comes down to the software. Do you like

240
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: the software from Amazon or Google? Probably Amazon is the

241
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: bigger platform at this point. But I always tell people

242
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: to buy the TV and then add a streaming box.

243
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: Later of your choice.

244
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: But to be totally honest with this Fire TV, I

245
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: don't think you need to do that. And I think

246
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: that Amazon will continue to support these for a while

247
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: just because they are such a big, a big part

248
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: of their business.

249
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 2: You know, these smart products.

250
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: So they are available. Let me know if you purchase one.

251
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: I think they look pretty pretty great. All right, let's

252
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: get to another question here. This one comes from mm

253
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: MM rights iCloud storage.

254
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: What do you think about it?

255
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: It says you can share it with family as my

256
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: wife has an iPhone, but I have a Galaxy S

257
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: ten e. I can see it, says I have it,

258
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: but I don't see it.

259
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 2: MM.

260
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: So, yes, if you have iCloud, you can share it

261
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: among several family members, and if your wife has an iPhone,

262
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: she can use easily on the on the Galaxy.

263
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: I don't know of a way to use iCloud storage.

264
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: Now, maybe I am mis misguided on that, but I

265
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: don't think there's a way for you to easily access

266
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: iCloud on the Galaxy S ten. So if you are

267
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: thinking of sharing as a family plan, I would say

268
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: maybe look into a third party service that works across

269
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: all platforms, which would be something like a dropbox something like.

270
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: It depends what you're doing, you know, like a one drive.

271
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: You can do Google Photos if you're just doing photos.

272
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: But I would look.

273
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Into that because iCloud is primarily geared towards iPhone users,

274
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: and if you're a family that's using a variety of devices,

275
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: it's probably not the best choice for you. Really get

276
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: through some of these stories here. Let's move on to Instagram.

277
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: Instagram has opened up links in stories to everyone. Now

278
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this given the fact that the average

279
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: person probably doesn't have a need for this. How many

280
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: links is the average person sharing?

281
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

282
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: But when you need to share one, maybe you figured

283
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: out that you couldn't the feature wasn't available. But there's

284
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: so many influencers out there that you follow that they're

285
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: always sharing links, you know. So it used to be

286
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: on Instagram Stories. It used to be a swipe up

287
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: to link. And so I had this feature, you got

288
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: access to it when you had ten thousand followers or

289
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: somehow Instagram blessed you with it, but primarily it was

290
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: if you had ten thousand followers you would get this feature,

291
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: So that was mostly influences creators, people that amassed a

292
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: large following. They were able to give that option to

293
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: swipe up for a link to something, an external link

294
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: to a website, and I've had that for a while,

295
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: I've used it. It's very helpful, but the average person

296
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: could not use that, And so if the average person

297
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: wanted to share, for instance, a link to their GoFundMe

298
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: or a link to find a loss pet or whatever,

299
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: they just couldn't do it. And they probably a lot

300
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: of people were probably scratching their heads and being like

301
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: am I missing something? Like why don't I have this?

302
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: And so Instagram had reasons for this. The primary reason

303
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: is that there was never really a good way to

304
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: link out of Instagram. But influencers need that to make

305
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: money and to share links and all that good stuff,

306
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: so they gave it to them. But they also had

307
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: to ride this other side of things of safety and security.

308
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: They don't want just a whole bunch of bought accounts

309
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: setting up or bought accounts just immediately sharing links, so

310
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: there had to be some sort of threshold for it,

311
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: and the ten thousand followers seemed to be a threshold

312
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: that worked, and so that's what they did for a

313
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: long time until now. Now they're giving this functionality to everyone,

314
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: and they said, you know what, there's a lot of

315
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: reasons why we like this idea, so let's give it

316
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: to everyone. And they change it a little bit. Now

317
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: it's actually a link. It's a sticker that you put

318
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: on your account, like on your story. And if you've

319
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: used a sticker before, those are basically if you have

320
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: ever added like a gift to your account or you know,

321
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: like a it's Monday or whatever like. So it's a sticker.

322
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: It's a sticker on your account. If you've used it,

323
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. So now if you

324
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: go into the stickers when you go into stories, there

325
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: should be one.

326
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: That says link.

327
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: If it's not there right away, they're still rolling out

328
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: availability to this to everyone and so you may not

329
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: have it today, but it might show up tomorrow. So

330
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: you go on there, you uh tap the sticker link

331
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: and you can then paste a link in there.

332
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: And put it on your story. And that's it.

333
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: And I did a little tutorial on this on my

334
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: face on my Instagram at rich On Tech if you

335
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: want to check it out, because I always take for

336
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: granted that people just know how to do all this stuff,

337
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: and I realize that they don't, so I put the

338
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: little tutorial there. If you know how to do it, great,

339
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: just freeze by it. If you don't, share it with

340
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: a friend or learn how to do it. But the

341
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: stickers and the links are you know, it's helpful, you

342
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: know when we're putting a link to something. And I

343
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: think that the sticker is better than the swipe up

344
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: because swipe up was always confusing to people and the

345
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: tapping on a link sticker is much more understandable. I

346
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: think to most people. If you don't have access to it,

347
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: the only reason you wouldn't is because you've been posting

348
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: harmful content on Instagram. So if you're a brand new account,

349
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: or you're posting stuff like hate speech or misinformation all

350
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: the time, or anything that violates their community guidelines, you

351
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: will not get access to link sticker. But you're listening

352
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: to the rich On Tech Show, I don't think that's

353
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: anyone that's listening here. Let's get to the next question

354
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: of the show Let's see. Audrey says that I love

355
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: following your Instagram and listening to your podcast. Keep up

356
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: the awesome work, Audrey. I feel like I'm talking directly

357
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: to your ears right now. Thank you so much for that.

358
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: Audrey says, I had to download the Clear app on

359
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: my phone and attend an event for vaccination verification. Now

360
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: I have concerns about the app, like if they're ever hacked.

361
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: After having to upload a photo of my driver's license

362
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: and vaccine card, you also need to take a selfie photo,

363
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: so now they have my eyescan, is there a way

364
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: to pull back my info from their database files? And

365
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: are my concerns valid? Thanks Audrey, Audrey, No, you are

366
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: totally out of line.

367
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding.

368
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I think your concerns are very valid, and I think

369
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: that it's smart to think this way. Whenever you are

370
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: uploading anything to anywhere that involves your personal information or

371
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: your biometrics, you should be very concerned. In fact, I

372
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: think twice about giving my phone number at the checkout

373
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: when they say, hey, you can save ten percent today

374
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: by giving us your phone number. Well, yeah, that ten

375
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: percent is nice, but guess what happened your phone number

376
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: is now percolating into one thousand and one different databases

377
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: depending on their privacy policy. And you probably didn't read

378
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: it before you shared your phone number, and so that's

379
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: why you get all those robo calls from time to time.

380
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Well it's just one reason. So yes, you should be

381
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: concerned about giving out anything when it comes to personal information.

382
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: In fact, I always recommend give out the least amount

383
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: of information that they will take to do whatever you're

384
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: trying to do. And when it comes to signing up

385
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: at places like Target or you know, Walmart or whatever,

386
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: Walmart doesn't have a loyalty program, but you know what

387
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean. You know there's a loyalty program everywhere, and

388
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: there's always like some little perk that you get in

389
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: exchange for your phone number, and then they start texting

390
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: you incessantly. And so you know, with some of these companies,

391
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: it's fine because you get something in exchange. But with

392
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: clear I understand this is a big company. Your information

393
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: is probably safe with them, but there's always a way

394
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: to get out of their databases. And so if you

395
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: look at their privacy policy, it says you may request

396
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: that we remove your databases remove from our databases any

397
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: personal information we maintain about you. You may request removal

398
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: of your personal information by contacting us in the how

399
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: to contact Us section of this privacy policy. We will

400
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: honor your request, except that we may retain limited information

401
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: so that we can comply with your request not to

402
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: be contacted in the future. So go ahead and contact them,

403
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: say I want out, and they should contact you back

404
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: and say you got out. And I think, Audrey, that

405
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: it's a good idea to be like this and from

406
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: time to time just get rid of your information, you know,

407
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: unsubscribed to things, you know, close out accounts, old accounts, certainly,

408
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: don't reuse the same password over and over, and get

409
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: your information out of as many databases as possible, and

410
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: that really you don't have to make a concerted effort

411
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: to do this, but when the time comes. So, for instance,

412
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: I talked to a privacy expert a long time ago,

413
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: Haley Kaplan was her name is her name.

414
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: We haven't talked in a while.

415
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: But she was she was great, and she talked all

416
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: about privacy and all these different things, and one thing

417
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: she said that always stuck with me. She said, you know,

418
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: you get these things in the mail every year from

419
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: your bank, from your from everyone, and it says, hey,

420
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: you have to you can you can opt out of

421
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: your of US sharing your your privacy or your information

422
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: with third parties. And you just take this thing, you

423
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: look at it and you say I'm not doing that,

424
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: and you throw it out. It's too confusing to understand.

425
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: But she said every single time you should, you should

426
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: send it back and say I opt out. And what

427
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: that means is that your bank, your credit card, your

428
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: your insurance company can't share anything with third parties. And

429
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: if your personal information. A lot of times they aggregate

430
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: this information and share it in databases with other people

431
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: that they either sell it to or just share it to.

432
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: And so you have the option to say, nah, I

433
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: don't want that. And the more that you do this,

434
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: the less you're information shows up in those databases. So,

435
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: for instance, I went through and remove my information from

436
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of those like personal information websites step pop

437
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: up everywhere that say you know who is rich to

438
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: miro you know, and it has all this disinformation, half

439
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: of it's fake or half of it's not right you

440
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: know about you. And so I went through and I

441
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: did that, And you can do this with yellow pages.

442
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: You could do this with white pages. You could do

443
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: this with well maybe not yellow pages, but you know

444
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: white pages. You can do this with you know, Google maps.

445
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: You can blur out your house, you can you can

446
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: do it with a lot of this stuff. And so

447
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: any opportunity you have to get your information taken out

448
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: of one of these databases, do it. If it's as

449
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: long as you can do it and it's easy and

450
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: the company's legitimate. If they're legitimate, they'll get rid of it.

451
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: If they're not, you're actually just handing over your personal information. So,

452
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: for instance, if you see a spam email and it's

453
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: like legitimate spam.

454
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 2: And they're like, hey, you know, click here to be.

455
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: To opt out, don't click those because that actually opts

456
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: you in. It confirms that your email address is a live,

457
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: working email address, and then they send you more email

458
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: and it was spam.

459
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: Same thing.

460
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: Don't even respond to spam emails. Don't even say stop.

461
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: Now if it is a real company, like a home depot,

462
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: and you sign up for a coupon or something, and

463
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: now they text you every weekend saying hey, come on

464
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: in five bucks off that I'm going to stay on

465
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: that list.

466
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: If they give you five bucks off.

467
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: But what I've found is that they just text you,

468
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: like promotions that are not discounts, and they just say, hey,

469
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: come on in and get your garden going for the

470
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: summer or whatever. I don't know why you do that,

471
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: because do you summer garden?

472
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

473
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: If I was a gardener, maybe i'd know. But with those,

474
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: with those texts, you can opt out, like a best Buy,

475
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: a Macy's, you know, if it's a real company, you can.

476
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: You can just type stop and you'll stop getting messages.

477
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: And I feel bad, especially with the smaller businesses. Sometimes

478
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: I'll sign up for their stuff, you know, if I'm

479
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: in a store, like if I find myself in a

480
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: little hallmark town, like a little main street somewhere, and

481
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm at a gift shop with those little signs that

482
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: say like, you know, whine is my best friend and

483
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: my ally or something like that.

484
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: You know, those little.

485
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: Signs that you see. I was in one the other day.

486
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: It was so funny. It had like the best signs.

487
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: Some of those things are so great and anyway, so

488
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: you sign up for their little database thing, and then

489
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: you feel bad taking your name off the list because

490
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: you're like, well, I don't know. Maybe maybe I should

491
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: just stay with them. But what was I talking about anyway?

492
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: So yes, Audrey, good, good point. Get your information out

493
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: of those databases when possible.

494
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk.

495
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of databases, let's talk everyone's favorite conversation.

496
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 2: Let's talk about coronavirus.

497
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Do people even call it coronavirus anymore? It's just covid

498
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: or it's just like the world we live in. But

499
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: there was an update to the iPhone this week, iOS

500
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: fifteen point one, and it gave you a new feature,

501
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: the ability to add your vaccination card to Apple Wallet.

502
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: And I got so much about this, Rich, I've been

503
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: able to do this forever. I know more than you. Okay, Yes,

504
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: And here's the thing.

505
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: When I post stuff to social media or to my

506
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: Facebook page, people are always trying to like get me, like,

507
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: h Rich, I knew this.

508
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: I already know that.

509
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: I knew, Oh you could do this before. I've had

510
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: that for months.

511
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

512
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: When I post something typically it's because there's something new

513
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: to it, there's a new aspect to it. And so yes,

514
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: with the digital vaccination card. In fact, I've had my

515
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: card in an app called common Pass that has been

516
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: on my phone for a while, but you could not

517
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: add it to Apple Wallet, and some people have through

518
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: their healthcare provider the ability to add to Apple Wally.

519
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: Here's what's different about this new vaccination card. It is

520
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: now what's called a verifiable vaccination card.

521
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: And so what they're.

522
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Doing is they are working with third party apps that

523
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: can verify that your card in your Apple Wallet is legitimate.

524
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: And so what does that mean. It means that let's

525
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: say you're flying United Airlines and they say, hey, can

526
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: you upload a copy of your vaccination card? Instead of

527
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: having to actually go take a picture of your vaccination

528
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: card or somehow finding you know, a verification of that

529
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: card and uploading it to the app, the app will say, hey,

530
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: can we ping your Apple Wallet and we'll find it

531
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: in there or Apple Health and we'll just see that

532
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: your copy is verifiable, and you say sure, and they

533
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: do it and in seconds you're verified without having to

534
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: do anything more. So that's what the big difference is here.

535
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: And so if you're in California, and I wrote the

536
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: instructions just for California, and since that's where I primarily appear,

537
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: it's it's really easy. You just go to the vaccine

538
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: the Vaccine Record Portal from California. You type in your information,

539
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: you choose a four digit pin, they send you a

540
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: QR code, and then you just import that QR code.

541
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: It should be there should be.

542
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: A button at the bottom that says add to Apple

543
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: Wallet and Health. You tap it and boom, your vaccination

544
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: card is now an Apple Wallet.

545
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: Now.

546
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: I also updated my Apple Watch, and if you have

547
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: one of these with the latest Apple Watch software on it,

548
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: which I think is Watch os eight point one, you

549
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: can double click your little home button or your side button,

550
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: and now your vaccination card is also in there. And

551
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: so that's really cool, and so it's a neat feature.

552
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: It's simple. I'm not going to get into the debate

553
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: over asking for vaccination proof and all that stuff. That's

554
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: not for this show. But I will say if you

555
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: are being asked for your vaccination card at entry at

556
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: certain places, this is an easy way to show it.

557
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: Let me tell you just quickly about some of the places. Now,

558
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: I did the the easiest way for California with the records,

559
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: but there is a whole bunch of providers that this

560
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: works with. So what they're doing is they're using these

561
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: smart health card. So that's the smart Health Card is

562
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: importable into Apple Wallet and Apple Health and if you're

563
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: a business, you can actually download the Smart Health Card

564
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: Verifyer app and you can scan people's QR codes. Now

565
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: that's it's getting pretty intense if you're doing that. But

566
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, again, we're not getting into the whole debate

567
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: over this in this show. But who uses this California, Hawaii, Louisiana,

568
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: New York, Virginia, a bunch of places in Canada, a

569
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: bunch of pharmacies Cedar Sinai, Express Scripts, Kaiser, write Aid,

570
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: United Healthcare, Walgreens, Walmart, and then a whole bunch of providers.

571
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to go over the list of

572
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: those because there's just too many. City of Hope, Cleveland Clinic,

573
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: Penn Medicine. So basically, the bottom line is that if

574
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: you see or can access your Smart Health Card record

575
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: from your wherever you got your vaccination card, you can

576
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: now import it into Apple Wallet. It's a really simple process.

577
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: It's really great, you know, if you're into this sort

578
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: of thing, and it works really nicely.

579
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: And so that's it. Now.

580
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: The other question is when you get a booster, will

581
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: it show up and the reality is that you actually

582
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: have to import this card once again to show the

583
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: booster but it does have the ability to show booster shots.

584
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: So that's it. That's all you need to know. Get

585
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: that card on your phone if you so choose. Jackie

586
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: says Rich.

587
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: When will Apple come out with a new iPod Touch

588
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: or are they finished with them?

589
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 2: Please let me know, oh Jackie. The iPod Touch.

590
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: The iPod Touch revolutionized running. In my mind back in

591
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: the day, when I had an iPod Touch, oh my gosh,

592
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: along with Nike running on it, I thought I was

593
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: king of the world. I had my music, I had

594
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: a running app I could see. I don't know if

595
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: it was a map of where I ran, but it

596
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: was like a trail of where I ran.

597
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: It was life was good.

598
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know what's happening to the iPod Touch,

599
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: because this is a device that has been eclipsed by

600
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: the iPhone and it's just something that a large majority

601
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: of people no longer need, which means Apple is not

602
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: really putting that much effort into them now. When I

603
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: go to my favorite website for all things Apple products,

604
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: Buyer's Guide dot MacRumors dot Com, again Buyer's guide dot

605
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: MacRumors dot com. It tells me that the iPod Touch

606
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: has not been updated in eight hundred and eighty four days,

607
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: which sounds absolutely wild until you look at the history

608
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: of the updates and the history the average is four

609
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: hundred days four hundred and four to be to be exact,

610
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: So four hundred and four days is the average it

611
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: takes them to come up with a new one. The

612
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: last time they came up with it was July twenty seventeen,

613
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: then July twenty fifteen, June twenty fourteen, September twenty thirteen,

614
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: May twenty thirteen, and then Octo over twenty twelve. So

615
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: let's say twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,

616
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, and twenty nineteen. There could be a twenty

617
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: twenty one in there, but I don't think so. I

618
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: think we're good with all the product updates from Apple

619
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: this year, but perhaps next year, I don't know.

620
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll keep this going.

621
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: Just as kind of a legacy product that just some

622
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: people buy, and they know they just need to make, like,

623
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, a couple hundred thousand of them a year

624
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: just for.

625
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 2: Keep some people happy.

626
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: But that is That is the most I know, and

627
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the rumors. This says unreleased iPod Touch

628
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: five with Shamford edges and thirty pin dock connector shared online.

629
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: Oh wow, this actually looks like an iPod Touch that is.

630
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: Closer to the I don't know, there's no way thirty pin.

631
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what this means.

632
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, I think that it's one of these things

633
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: where I don't think it's coming out this year.

634
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: Let's put it this way, Let's put it that way.

635
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: So maybe make plans for a you know, maybe just

636
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: purchasing one on eBay or just buy the current one

637
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: and use that because a current one works just fine.

638
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: There's nothing new about.

639
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: It all, right, Wise came out with a lot of

640
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: new products this week. Whyse is a real fan favorite

641
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to smart home products, and they're building

642
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: out a very, very robust lineup of smart home products.

643
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: Now.

644
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: I often talk on this show about my love of

645
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: Ring and how they're doing a robust lineup of products,

646
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: but I think Why Is is sort of the anti Ring

647
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: because they're not owned by a big company and they

648
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff very competitive prices. But I

649
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: think that the frustrating thing about Why sometimes is that

650
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: it could either be tough get their products, or it's

651
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: like weird pricing because you have to pay for like shipping.

652
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're not always available on Amazon in like a

653
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: straightforward way or just available in a straightforward way in general.

654
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 1: But with that said, I've got a couple of wise cams.

655
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: I love them. I think they do a great job.

656
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: I think that their software is always being updated. They

657
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: have a good team, it seems. And so here's what

658
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: they've got going on. A new Wise solar panel which

659
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: is twenty dollars, and the Why solar panel will power

660
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: the wise cam outdoor, so it's it's basically the equivalent

661
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: of the Ring solar panel. This is twenty bucks plus shipping,

662
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: which is pretty good. But shipping starts see this is

663
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: the thing. It starts shipping in January. So I'm telling

664
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: you about this in October and you can't get it

665
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: until January, which I think, as a customer or as

666
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: a consumer is really frustrating because you're hearing about this

667
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: and you want it, and now you have to wait

668
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: until January to get it. So my advice to Whys

669
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: would be to not talk about products until they're available,

670
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: or maybe in a week or two before, because it's

671
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: that's frustrating, you're talking. I gotta wait at least two

672
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: months to get my product, and perhaps in January. I'm

673
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: not even sure it's gonna be available. Then you've got

674
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: the Why's Lamp Socket and this this enables you to

675
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: plug your camera into a lamp socket so to power

676
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: it that way. That's forty five dollars plus shipping, and

677
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: that starts shipping in December, so again we got to

678
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: wait till December. Then they've got a Wyse Switch three pack,

679
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: and this is a three pack of switches that control

680
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: wise lights and other wise devices at the touch of

681
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: a button. That's thirty three dollars for a three pack,

682
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: which is very competitive.

683
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: That starts shipping in December.

684
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: Then you've got the Why's Bulb white four pack, and

685
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: that is thirty two dollars. Again, starts shipping in November,

686
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: which I think Wyse already has. They do have white

687
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: bulbs because I got them for my mom. So that's

688
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: a four pack. I don't know what the difference is

689
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: between this and the other ones that they had before,

690
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: but that's what's happening. Then you've got a couple other

691
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: things happening Campo Cam plus Pro and this is a

692
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: new way to secure your home with AI powered professional security.

693
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: Your wisecam will be able to arm, disarm.

694
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: Detect people, and trigger alerts to a professional dispatch security.

695
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: And all you need is a wisecam, So that's kind

696
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: of cool. And then you've got camera. Oh you're gonna

697
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: be able to view your wise cams on the web,

698
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: so that's kind of cool. So a lot of announcements

699
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: from Why's and again it's all just kind of getting

700
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: into the scheme of things when it comes to, you know,

701
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: just building out a robust system that you can rely

702
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: on in your house with these smart home products at

703
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: a very reasonable price. And I think that, you know,

704
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: you'd be hard pressed to find another family of products

705
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: as robust as.

706
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 2: Ring or Wise.

707
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: And if you look at stuff like at Google, Yeah,

708
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: they've got a bunch of stuff, but it's very expensive.

709
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 2: And Google's kind of all over the place.

710
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: I've said this before, it's probably why they're not sending

711
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: me the pixel to test out.

712
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: But Google is all over the place with their products.

713
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: And you get stuff and it's like, oh, we just

714
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: continued that, or we're not supporting it, or whatever they do.

715
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: They just hang on, let me check my email before

716
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: I trash them even more. Are they sending me the

717
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: the Pixel to test out?

718
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: No, they're not.

719
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: So I put in my request to Google to test

720
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: the Pixel and they just completely ignored it.

721
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: They could care less.

722
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know what I did, what I said,

723
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: but they are just like, we don't care rich We're

724
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: not We're not sending you the Pixel to review. So

725
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: I've got to go out and secure one when it

726
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: hits the stores.

727
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: Google.

728
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: I've tested every pixel phone, They've sent every Pixel phone

729
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: to test since day one, and this one they just

730
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: decide that I don't exist.

731
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what the deal is. I don't know.

732
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: It's probably something I said.

733
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: I believe I called the Pixel a one trick pony

734
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: on this podcast.

735
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: Maybe that was it. I don't know, but I think

736
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: that honesty is the best policy.

737
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: I like to tell you what I think about products,

738
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: and if that interrupts my relationship with the company and

739
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: their ability to send me that product review, then then

740
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: so be it.

741
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't I can't.

742
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: Withhold the truth because that's what I deal in, and

743
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that you know what's happening

744
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: with these things, all right, syl says, hey, Rich, hope

745
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: all as well. I have over sixty thousand pictures on

746
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: my iPhone. Can you recommend the best way to save

747
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: and retrieve all these photos is a stick?

748
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: The best way? If so, which one?

749
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: I'm currently saving on iCloud and Google Photos and on

750
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: a Shutterfly app. I would like to clear my phone

751
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: of some of these photos. They are all family photos,

752
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: grandchildren mostly. Thanks for your advice, Sylvana. Well, Sylvana, I

753
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: think you are doing the right thing by saving to iCloud,

754
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: Google Photos and Shutterfly.

755
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: I also think that maybe that's a little overkill. I

756
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: think you only need two places.

757
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: So you said you want to clear your phone of

758
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: some of these photos, now, I think the easiest way

759
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: to do that is to stick with iCloud and Google Photos.

760
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: And so what I would do is there's a couple

761
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: things you can do. And it gets a little confusing

762
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: because there is a feature on Google Photos that lets

763
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: you delete pictures.

764
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: From your phone.

765
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: And so let's say you're just like like I am

766
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: just using Google Photos. So when my phone gets filled up,

767
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: I go into Google Photos and it says free up

768
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: space on this phone.

769
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: I click that.

770
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: It deletes all the pictures from my phone, and I

771
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: now have them safely backed up to Google Cloud and

772
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: they are not on my phone any longer. I also

773
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: have them in a third place, and that keeps them

774
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: sorry in a second place, which keeps them backed up

775
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: as well, so I can safely get rid of them

776
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: from my phone because I don't need them there anymore. Now,

777
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: when it comes to Google Photos and doing that same thing,

778
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: if you're using iCloud, that is going to delete pictures

779
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: off your phone and which will in turn trigger them to.

780
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 2: Be deleted off of iCloud.

781
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: So the better option for you is to actually go

782
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: into if you're gonna stick with I Cloud and stick

783
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: with Google Photos, is to go into iCloud settings. And

784
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: so you want to go into settings, and then you

785
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: want to go into iCloud, and then you want to

786
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: go into photos and let's see that's not where it is. Actually, yeah,

787
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: that is not where it is. Okay, well, don't listen

788
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: to me, because that's not exactly where it is.

789
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: Let's see where.

790
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: Is the there used to be. Let me go into

791
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: photos and see if it's in there. Ugh, why do

792
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: you have to put things in such different places? Okay,

793
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: here it is, let's see is that it?

794
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 2: Okay?

795
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: So I don't have iCloud Photos turned on, but when

796
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: you do, if you go into setting and then photos,

797
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: there should be an option that says optimize.

798
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 2: Storage.

799
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: And so when you click that or toggle that on

800
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 1: on your iPhone, it will automatically or should I say,

801
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: automagically offload some of the pictures on your iPhone. And

802
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: this is a very confusing feature that it's just so

803
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: apple to do something like this, but it works really well,

804
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: but it's very confusing because I get this question all

805
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: the time. People say, if I delete a photo from

806
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: Google or my phone, is it going to delete from iCloud?

807
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: And the short answer is it's not easy to answer

808
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: in a short answer. So the reality is the best

809
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: way to do this is to just let iCloud optimize

810
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: the storage on your phone. And what that means is

811
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: that if your storage is running low on your iPhone,

812
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: iCloud will go through and it will delete the full

813
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: resolution picture.

814
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: From your phone.

815
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: It will keep that in iCloud, but it will keep

816
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: a small, low red solution thumbnail on your iPhone, and

817
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: so when you need that picture again, you can just

818
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: tap it and it will quickly download the full resolution

819
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: photo in the background for sharing or for viewing or whatever.

820
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 1: And I do believe that there's a little cloud icon

821
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: on the photo in the photos app that will denote

822
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: that the actual photo is not being stored on your

823
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: phone anymore.

824
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: It's being stored in the cloud. But if you just

825
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 2: tap it, it will restore that photo.

826
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: So that's the way I would do it, and that

827
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: way it will not mess with Google Photos. It will

828
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: not even mess with the Shutterfly app. It will still

829
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: upload to both those places, but when storage gets low

830
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: on your phone, it will go through and kind of

831
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: manage some of that storage on your phone to make

832
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: room for everyone, to make room for all the different

833
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: pictures on your phone. All right, cloud Flare is introducing

834
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: one point one point one point one for families. So

835
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, this kind of gets in a little

836
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: bit techy, but I guess this whole show is techy,

837
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: but I try to keep it, you know, on thee

838
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: for most people that can understand it. But there's something

839
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: that I always change on my router immediately when I

840
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: get you know, when I get a router, is uh,

841
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: I always change the DNS settings. And DNS is what

842
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: is basically an address book for the web, and so

843
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: by default you're using you know, your provider. We've talked

844
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: about this in the show before, whether it's Spectrum or

845
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: AT and T or Verizon or FiOS or whoever your

846
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: internet provider is, well, they use their their information their

847
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: DNS look up. So if you want to be a

848
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: bit more private, you can use a third party DNS resolver.

849
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 2: And so Google makes one.

850
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: There's this eight dot eight dot eight dot eight, and

851
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: then the other one is cloud Flare. They make one

852
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: called one dot one dot one dot one. And so

853
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: what that does is it basically protects your lookups so

854
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: that you know your your internet provider does not see

855
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: as much information. And so this is most most a

856
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: little bit more private. But a lot of people said, hey,

857
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: we'd rather have oh it's also encrypted. We'd rather have

858
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: something that works for the family. So can you come

859
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 1: out with something that works for the family, and especially

860
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: something that has maybe a little bit of filtering or

861
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: maybe a little blocking built in. And so now one

862
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: dot one dot one dot one for families gives an

863
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: extra layer of protection to your home network to protect

864
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: it from malware and adult content.

865
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 2: So it's totally free, and all you have to.

866
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: Do is change one setting on your router and it

867
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: will immediately take effect. And so here's what you do.

868
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: It's actually two settings in your router. So if you

869
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: change the numbers on your primary DNS and your secondary DNS,

870
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: it will help you route all of your DNS looks

871
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: up look ups through their servers and not your ISPs.

872
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: And so this will block malware if you set it

873
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: to one dot one dot one dot two and then

874
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: one zero zero two.

875
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: And I'm getting a.

876
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: Little bit techy here, but it sounds more complicated than this.

877
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: It's actually quite easy to do this. Now, if you

878
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: want to block malware and adult content, you can set

879
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: it to one dot one dot one dot three and

880
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: one dot zero dot zero dot three. And if you

881
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: have one of the main providers, it's very easy to

882
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: set this up. So if you have like an eurosystem

883
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 1: or a a router from whatever, you can easily set

884
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: this up at the router level, or you can just

885
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 1: set it up on your actual devices. So if you

886
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: if your kid has like an iPhone or a you know,

887
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: computer or an Android. You can do it there. So

888
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: on the website Cloudflare, I'll link it up. In the notes,

889
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: they give instructions for linksys routers, a sous routers, Netgear routers,

890
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: d link routers, and Ubiquity routers, and so all you

891
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: have to do kind of is go into the routers

892
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: and look for the DNS settings. That's that's the bottom line,

893
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: and you change them to these numbers that I just mentioned.

894
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: So it's either one dot one dot one dot two

895
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: or one zero zero two or the other ones. And

896
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: it's it's really easy. I do it on my computer

897
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: all the time.

898
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: I use Googles or do I use Googles.

899
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: Or I use I can't remember which one I use,

900
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: but I either use Google or cloud Flare. But this

901
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: is good for families, and they are going to add

902
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: some more features in the future, which is really cool.

903
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: They are going to add. Let's see what are the

904
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: other features they're going to add. You can create specific

905
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: lists that allow and block certain sites. So, for instance,

906
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: I fere on a block like roadblocks dot com. You

907
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: can do that through this. You can set times of

908
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: days when categories like social media are blocked, and you

909
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: can also get reports on your internet your households internet usage,

910
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: so you can see I don't know what that means,

911
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe the websites that they're spending time

912
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: on or going to. I don't know if it's specific

913
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: or just you know, category level, but this is a

914
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: This is a very easy way to just give some

915
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: basic protection to your family from malware and adult content.

916
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 2: There are many other ways you can this.

917
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: I know EO has things that are built in or

918
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: you have to pay for them, I believe if you

919
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: pay the extra thirty bucks a year, but you can

920
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: also do something like if you want to pay something

921
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: called Circle is really good. So Circle, I think their

922
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: website is meet Circle, and that's really good and that

923
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: gives you a lot more control. So if you want

924
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: a lot of parental control over your kids and what

925
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: they can access and when and how, then Circle is

926
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: going to be. It's actually a physical device that you

927
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: plug into your network, and that's really good. My kids

928
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: hate it because you can really control. It's like down

929
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: to the minute. You can say, okay, YouTube you get

930
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: for a half an hour a day. You can you know,

931
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: roadblocks is only available on weekends. Whatever you want to do,

932
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: you can do it with that's very very powerful, all right,

933
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: s rites in with the subject line iPhone thirteen can

934
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: a text message be scheduled to be sent? Until recently

935
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: I had an Android and I can schedule messages to

936
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: be sent on a different day or time. I now

937
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: own an iPhone and I would like to know if

938
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: this is possible with the iPhone. Thank you S. The

939
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: short answer here is I don't know, but also I

940
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: don't think so, and as far as I know, built

941
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: into so Android and iOS are very different in a

942
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of ways. But Android, I know, with the stock

943
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 1: Google Messages app, I think if you just press and

944
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: hold the little send button when you're going to you know,

945
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: after you type in your message, or's like a little

946
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: send arrow next to it. I think if you press

947
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: and hold that, it will give you options to schedule

948
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: a text and you can schedule it to send in

949
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: an hour, whatever whatever time you want. On iPhone, not

950
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: so much. And as far as I know, you can't

951
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: do this at all on an iPhone because third party apps,

952
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: as far as I know, do not have access to

953
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: I Message, So you can't even download a third party

954
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 1: app and schedule a message that way. Now, the only

955
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: way that I think you could do this on an

956
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: iPhone is with a third party service. So I'm sure

957
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: there are plenty of them out there that you could

958
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: download an app that will send text messages. It will

959
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: not likely be from your phone number, but you can

960
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: send a message from that app and schedule it. Now,

961
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't know of an app that does that. I'm

962
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: sure there are plenty, especially for businesses. You know, there's

963
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: lots of text messaging apps, but that would be the

964
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: only way to do it. But as a as a

965
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: casual user of a messaging program, if you just want

966
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: to casually message your friend but schedule that message to

967
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: send at a different time, I do not know of

968
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: an easy way to do that on the iPhone. Let

969
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: me know if you know of a way to do that.

970
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: I just don't. All right, So you know, I got

971
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: a Tesla, so I've been talking about and I'm very

972
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: much interested in electric cars. At this point, I will

973
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: tell you getting the not the supercharger, but I'm getting

974
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: a charger installed at the house this week, and so

975
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: I am excited for that, even though I don't really

976
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: need it. I charge my car at work. That has

977
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: been fantastic and quite honestly, it's free, and so I

978
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: am going to take advantage of that as much as possible.

979
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: And so I used to charge like on Sunday night

980
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: or overnight on Saturday to Sunday. Now I just let

981
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: my car run as far as humanly possible, as long

982
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: as I can make it to work on Monday.

983
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 2: I will charge it here.

984
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: Because it's included. I shouldn't say free, it's included as

985
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: a job perk of mine. And so but I'm getting

986
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: this thing installed at home because a I bought the

987
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: charger for six hundred bucks through Tesla, and I just figured, okay, well,

988
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: now that I bought it, I'm not gonna return it,

989
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: and it's probably nice to have it at home anyway,

990
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna need it eventually at some point. And

991
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: so there are gonna be weekends where I want to

992
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: take a road trip or I go out of you know,

993
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: just drive further than I need to charge, and I've

994
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: got to charge it up before Saturday or Sunday or whatever.

995
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: And so I'm getting this installed. I tell you all

996
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: of that because I'm talking about Lucid, and Lucid is

997
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: a company that they're making an electric car that's very

998
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 1: highly anticipated, very expensive. But they are doing their first

999
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: deliveries this week. And so the Lucid Air is a

1000
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty mile range car and Lucid is

1001
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: out of Silicon Valley, but it is made in Arizona.

1002
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: I email the company to ask if I can come

1003
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: take a tour of the facility and drive the car.

1004
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 2: I hope they say yes. I don't know if they will,

1005
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 2: but let's hope they do.

1006
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: But they are doing deliveries of the Lucid Air, which

1007
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: is their first car. So this is very exciting for

1008
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: this company. And the range, like I said, five hundred

1009
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: and twenty miles, the longest range of any ev and

1010
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: zero to sixty and two point four to two seconds.

1011
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 1: Now this is their first you know, this is their

1012
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: big expensive Lucid Dream Edition and then they are going

1013
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,439
Speaker 1: to come up with the Grand Touring Edition and then

1014
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: the Touring and Pure models are anticipated for in twenty

1015
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: twenty two. Now, the price, don't they don't list the

1016
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: price on their press release about this, but I you know,

1017
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: some other places had pricing. So these cars that they're

1018
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: delivering are like one hundred and seventy grand. Then the

1019
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,439
Speaker 1: next car down is going to be like seventy eight,

1020
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: and then hopefully we'll have a car cheaper than that,

1021
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: and then eventually they want to make a car that's

1022
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: about twenty five grand, which is what Tesla has said

1023
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: as well. But the reality here is that this is

1024
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: fantastic for the electric car business. It just it's this

1025
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: is a startup, so they're not burdened by the same

1026
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: thing that a major car company that's like a Ford

1027
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: or a GM is burdened with, you know, to try

1028
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: to transform their company into something that's more electric.

1029
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 2: This is a startup.

1030
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: They're they're building it from the ground up, and it

1031
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 1: took Tesla ten years to get to where they are

1032
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit less, but it took a while.

1033
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean I was there at some of their first

1034
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: events and just just seeing where they've come from. This

1035
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: roadster that was so you know, I remember sitting in

1036
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: this two person roadster and you know, getting to meet

1037
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and interview him. This is when I worked

1038
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: as a reporter at k CAL nine. I mean I

1039
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 1: was able to interview Elon Musk because he would give

1040
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 1: anyone an interview that would that would put a microphone

1041
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: in his face. And now if I emailed Elon Musk,

1042
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: he probably would not give me that same interview. And

1043
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: Tesla is not the same company. The company just reached

1044
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: a trillion dollar valuation, which just not many companies in

1045
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: America have that, you know, outside of Apple and Microsoft

1046
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: and Google, and you know, maybe a couple others nipping

1047
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: at their heels.

1048
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 2: But this is this a big deal for Lucid.

1049
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: I saw the car in person at the mall they

1050
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: have at the Century City Mall here in Los Angeles.

1051
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: They've got a little storefront, and me and my son

1052
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: went in there and we checked.

1053
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 2: Out the Lucid.

1054
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: It's beautiful, but the guy lost me at eighty grand.

1055
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, well this is not for me right now.

1056
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: But it's a beautiful car. It's a luxurious car, and

1057
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that people like this car will

1058
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. But I also saw at them all

1059
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: they had the charging stations that were proprietary to Lucid.

1060
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: And so now we're getting into this world of here's

1061
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: the major electric car companies got. You've got Tesla, who

1062
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: has superchargers.

1063
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 2: You know in a lot of places.

1064
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: Then you've got Lucid coming up and they have their

1065
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: own superchargers that they're building, and I already saw them

1066
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: at the mall. And then you have Rivian, which they

1067
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: have their own chargers that they're putting at places like

1068
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: Adventure places, which you talked about on the show. And

1069
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: then you have Electrifi America and charge Point and all

1070
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: these other places, all these other charge companies that are

1071
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: building chargers that work on a variety of cars. And

1072
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: so where, I mean, where does it end. Are you

1073
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: going to go to a parking lot and have your

1074
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: choice of fifteen different proprietary chargers?

1075
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 2: I think not.

1076
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: So we're definitely going to see some consolidation in this

1077
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: world of proprietary chargers. I don't know how it's going

1078
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: to shake out, because every car company, like Apple, they

1079
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: learn from Apple. They're taking a queue from Apple and

1080
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: they're saying, ah, we saw what Apple did with their

1081
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: with their lightning and it worked really well as proprietary

1082
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: and all these accessories worked with lightning, and you know,

1083
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: that's what we want to do. We want to make

1084
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: sure we can optimize for our cars to be the

1085
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: best they can be. And you know, something like USBC

1086
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: for a car will have to eventually happen because it

1087
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: will just make things easier for the consumer. And USBC

1088
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: is a pretty good standard as well. It's just not

1089
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, it's on every other Android, and it's

1090
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: it's worked pretty well for them. But I don't know,

1091
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna we'll see what happens. Maybe they'll build it

1092
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: on top of, you know, a USBC style charger. Now

1093
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: when I say USBC, I mean some sort of electric standard,

1094
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: but it'll maybe.

1095
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 2: There'll be a separate flavor for Tesla. I don't know.

1096
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: Maybe Tesla will make it better, but the reality is,

1097
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: we just can't have fifteen different types of chargers for

1098
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: every electric car company that comes on comes on board

1099
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: with these things. But anyway, congrats Solution for making their

1100
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: first deliveries. We will continue to track that company and

1101
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:04,919
Speaker 1: I hope I get into one of those cars soon

1102
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: real quick. Since I'm on the topic of electric cars, Tesla,

1103
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: my first software update hit my phone today. I got

1104
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: a message when I woke up, it said Tesla rich

1105
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: on Tesla, your software update is available, and when I

1106
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: clicked through to that, it tells me that there's a

1107
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: bunch of new features available in the car. The most notable,

1108
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: according to Electric website is they are now doing the

1109
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: Century mode Live Camera access. And this is so crazy

1110
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: because this is a feature that I imagined you would

1111
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: have on the Tesla and here it is.

1112
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 2: And this feature.

1113
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: Lets you access the cameras on your car through your

1114
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: phone and you can literally like you would watch your

1115
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: ringcam at home, or your Nest cam or your wisecam,

1116
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: you can now stream the cameras from your car on

1117
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: your phone. That is just about amazing. It is nothing

1118
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: short of just unbelievable. And so this is really cool.

1119
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: I've not installed it on my car just yet, says

1120
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: The update is going to take approximately twenty five minutes.

1121
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: During the update process, you will not be able to

1122
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: drive the vehicle or use the touchscreen in your car.

1123
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: Alarm may be disarmed for a short duration. Do you

1124
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: want to install it now? I'm gonna say no, because

1125
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that later on today. This feature requires

1126
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: the ten dollars a month subscription the Premium or I

1127
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: guess the Premium connectivity feature. Oh wait, hold on, I

1128
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: need to pay. It's being introduced as a new Premium

1129
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: connectivity feature which requires a ten Okay, so you need

1130
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: to have that subscription to get access to this, but

1131
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: apparently it's only available on iOS for now, coming to

1132
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 1: Android later.

1133
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 2: But I can't wait to check that out. I will.

1134
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: I am sure I will talk about it more in

1135
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: a future report. All right, Jody says, I'm in need

1136
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: of a new iMac desktop. My first one is over

1137
00:55:58,480 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: ten years old.

1138
00:55:59,160 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 2: Wow.

1139
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 1: I wondered if it would be worth waiting for Black

1140
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 1: Friday to order one because they don't offer education prices

1141
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: anymore for newer models. Any savings would be a big

1142
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: help because they don't usually have sales. But if they

1143
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: don't usually have sales, I'll just order it now. Thank

1144
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: you for any help you can give me. Best to

1145
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: you and your family, Jody, Jody, that's a testament to

1146
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: the quality of Apple. The fact that your iMac lasted

1147
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: ten years amazing. And Apple gets a hard time for

1148
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: high prices, but their stuff lasts forever. And I'm telling

1149
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 1: you from experience. My MacBook that my kid is using

1150
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: is my old MacBook. Now give an eye upgrade every

1151
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: couple of years. But I mean he has thrown it down,

1152
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 1: dropped it, he's on it's it's it's greasy, and the

1153
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: thing still runs amazing. And if you clean it up,

1154
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: you wipe it down, it's still a fantastic computer, at

1155
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: least four years later. And so the fact that you're

1156
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 1: going on ten years is awesome, and these things.

1157
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 2: Have a great resale value.

1158
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: But the couple things, so Number one, Apple absolutely offers

1159
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: education pricing on the new Imax. They start at twelve

1160
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 1: forty nine for the new iMac, and if you're purchasing

1161
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: that as a quote unquote regular person, it would be

1162
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more expensive. So twelve forty nine for

1163
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: the regular iMac. Let's see how much the non education

1164
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: store pricing is.

1165
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 2: It would be twelve ninety nine.

1166
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: So it's not a huge discount fifty dollars on that

1167
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: lower end machine, or i should say the entry level machine.

1168
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 2: It's not low end at all.

1169
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: But hey, fifty bucks is fifty bucks. So a couple

1170
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: things you could do. Number one, Yes, do the education pricing.

1171
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: If you are an educator, for sure, you should always

1172
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: be buying Apple products with education pricing. Number Two, you

1173
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: can go to Costco. Sometimes they offer a little bit

1174
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: of an upgrade for a cheaper price. I saw the

1175
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: new Imax there, so check that. Number three Black Friday.

1176
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: Apple historically does not really go all out on Black Friday.

1177
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: They don't really need to, and so often you will

1178
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: get maybe an added bonus of they will include something

1179
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: like headphones with it, or they will give you a

1180
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: gift card towards a new computer. So I would say

1181
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: you've waited ten years, So Jody, if you can wait

1182
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: another four weeks, I think wait the four weeks, see

1183
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: what the deal is on Black Friday. Definitely buy it

1184
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: from the Education store and hopefully you'll get a one

1185
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: to two punch of maybe the fifty dollars off for

1186
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: the education pricing, and maybe another fifty to one hundred

1187
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: dollars gift card that they offer on Black Friday. Hopefully

1188
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: you'll be able to connect those as well. All right,

1189
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: let's get to one more question before the show ends,

1190
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: and this is Steve. He says, good night, Rich, love

1191
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: your show, never miss it. I love the joke because

1192
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: everyone says good morning. You must listen to the show.

1193
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1194
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: Steve, he says, I'm sure the M one ship is fabulous,

1195
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: but I'm not willing to downsize from a twenty seven

1196
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: inch iMac to a twenty four Do you know if

1197
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: Apple's going to build a Mac with the M one

1198
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: and a larger screen. Steve and bo Mont, California. Steve,

1199
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: I would say absolutely. They have built all of their

1200
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: Mac computers with the M one chips. Slowly but surely

1201
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: they are ruling them out on all sizes and varieties,

1202
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: and so I think the twenty seven inch iMac will

1203
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: not be far behind. Maybe they were waiting to put

1204
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,919
Speaker 1: this M one pro chip in it, and I think

1205
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: that's probably If I was a betting man, which I

1206
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: am sometimes in Las Vegas. Not in a big way,

1207
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: not in a problematic way, just a small way. If

1208
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: I was a betting man, I would say that Apple

1209
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: will probably probably do that for sure, all right, And

1210
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: with that, that's going to do it for this episode

1211
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: of the show. If you would like to submit a
