WEBVTT - Word to the Wyze 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.200 My review of the new AirPods and why I might 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.800 be switching from the pros. Amazon's new TVs are now available. 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.680 There's a new family filter for your home internet service 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.800 that's free. Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.040 on Rich Demiro And this is Rich on Tech, the 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.120 podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.159 you should know about. It's also the place right answer 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.000 the questions you sent me. I'm the tech reporter at 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.400 KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Thanks for watching on 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.200 television if you so choose to do that. Otherwise, maybe 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.680 you've discovered me online somewhere. Thanks for tuning in. I 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.120 decided that I am going to start sharing a little 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.160 bit more behind the scenes, a little inside baseball about 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.560 my job on LinkedIn. 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:57.600 And here's the reason. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.280 So this could be a total total mistake, but a 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.320 couple of things going on. Number One, I feel like 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.560 I want to demystify a little bit of what it 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.320 takes to do my job. So it takes a lot, 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:10.840 there's a lot of things that go into it. There's 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.520 a lot of decisions that are made, there's a lot 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.040 of thought, there's a lot of process, and I feel 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.160 like young journalists people coming up in the business may 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.480 want to see how I do things. I don't know, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.919 maybe they don't, maybe they don't care. Otherwise, what else 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.440 the thing is LinkedIn I feel like is a place 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.319 where when I go on there, I'm looking for sort 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.920 of inspiration, I'm looking for tips, I'm looking for just 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.200 I don't know, just information. And so I felt like 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.440 that was a pretty good place for it. I could 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.240 be totally wrong. I mean, I know TikTok is where 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.959 everything's at, but I felt like LinkedIn maybe is a 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:49.080 better place for professionals to exchange opinions and thoughts on things. 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:50.760 So I don't know. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.160 Maybe I'll continue doing it, maybe I won't. But I've 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.960 got my first two posts up. I'm gonna try to 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.720 post every day, just FYI. So I'm gonna try to 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.720 post every single day and some kind of like little 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.880 nugget behind the scenes wherever I am whatever. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.600 I don't know, we'll just see. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.640 I'll use all the different different faculties available to me 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.960 on LinkedIn. You know, whether it's a video, whether it's 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:13.040 a picture, whether it's a poll. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:13.480 I don't know. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.799 So if you want find me on LinkedIn. I don't 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.480 know how you search on there. Just search rich DeMuro 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.760 LinkedIn and follow me there. So let's get to the 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.600 first story of the week. I will probably end up 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.760 switching to the new AirPods. I talked about this a 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.480 little bit in last week's show, the brand new Airpod's 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.480 third generation, but I was under embargo, couldn't really speak 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:37.720 about my impressions of them. And yeah, embargoes are kind 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.240 of a mixed bag when it comes to journalism, like 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.240 we love them and hate them. So it's nice that 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.480 Apple will get me the AirPod so that I can 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.080 test them. But it's you know a lot of times 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.080 when companies send stuff, it's there's some sort of caveat 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.040 with when you can actually. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:53.400 Speak about it. 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.799 And so is This has led to a whole joke 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.080 with MKBHD, who's one of the biggest or probably the 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.119 biggest tech you where he always you know, the joke 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.480 is when the product comes out the day comes out, 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.120 he always says, hey, guys, I've been using this product 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.120 for the last three months and here are my thoughts 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.680 on it. You know, where everyone else is like, wait, 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.480 we just found out about this, but you've been using 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.280 this secretly, so it led to a whole big joke 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:21.080 in the comment section of his stuff or any in general. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:22.560 I digress. 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.160 So, I've been wearing the new air pods and these 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.920 are these standard air pods. So if you're familiar with AirPods, 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.440 you know there's the standard ones and then there's the 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.560 air Pods Pro. And so I've been using the pros 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.760 pretty much since they came out, which I love because 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.720 they the day that they came out basically enabled me 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:46.200 to stop carrying noise cancellation headphones on the plane, and 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.320 I said, wow, now I've got one set of things, 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.560 one set of earbuds for every purpose. And they're tiny, 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.400 by the way. When you're packing, that's a big deal. 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.160 And so I've liked them. But the one thing I 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.040 don't like about them is that they seal out your ears, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.880 and that's good for noise cancelation, but it's sort of 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.600 bad for everything else if you want to hear people 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:05.240 around you. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:06.880 If you just don't like that feeling. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.560 And so for me, I never really liked that feeling, 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.320 but I put up with it because whatever. And now 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.320 that the AirPods have all of the same features as 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.920 the pros, except for noise cancelation and the silicone tips 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.080 you know, basically the rubber tips at the end of them. 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.520 They're pretty much the same. And I've been using these 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:29.080 and I really really liked them. So bottom line, if 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.960 you don't need the noise cancelation, I think that the 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.000 standard Airpod's third generation are better. They may not be 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.719 a better deal because they sell for one seventy nine, 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.200 but the AirPods Pro were on sale for one ninety 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.160 nine at Target this week, so you know, people might think, oh, 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.520 for twenty dollars more, I get the Pros. But it 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.839 depends on how you like these things to feel in 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:50.880 your ears. Now. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.360 I went on a run with them, you. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.240 Can see that on my Instagram at rich On Tech. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.560 They were fantastic. They sounded good. They don't fall out 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.760 of my ears at all. I think they're comfortable. I 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.520 don't think they're as comfortable as the pros, but they're comfortable. 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.159 They feel like the kind of the colder feeling of 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:08.919 the air Pods where they're just a little harder in 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.719 your ears. The design looks very similar to the Pros. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.880 They've got a new sensor on them that will they 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.560 get a couple of new sensors. So in the stems, 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.719 which are way smaller, there's a force sensor that you 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.080 can squeeze to like play pausure music whatever. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.039 They also have HCII and. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:31.680 They also have spatial audio Dolby Atmos Adaptive EQ, so 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.320 audio sounds really good. They've got head tracking, which is 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.960 really cool if you haven't experienced it, and then they've 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.440 got the sensor is the first and only on the 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.400 air pods at this point that it's a sensor that 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.600 senses your skin, so it knows if they're in your 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.760 ears or whether they're in your ears or in your pocket, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.599 so that can help with with you know, false starts 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.920 with the music if it starts and stops or something 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.479 because you're putting them in your pocket and it's just 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.400 getting covered up. Battery life is fantastic, but you can 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.240 also charge them in a couple different ways. You can 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.680 use MagSafe or you can use standard wireless. I found 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.400 that I didn't even have to charge these things during 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:06.799 my testing because they're just so good. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.040 And then they've got some. 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.560 Find my features that can help you find them if 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:14.800 they're lost. So bottom line, if you don't care about noise, 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.160 cancelation or the silicone tips, then I think you go 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.520 with the standard AirPods. I think they're just better because 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.840 they just let in more of the world around you 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.400 if you like that kind of thing, and they're just 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.320 simpler to wear for me for longer periods of time. 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.760 And so unless you're on a plane all the time, 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.400 if you're on a train or some sort of noisy 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.760 situation where you like the noise cancelation, then go with. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:36.520 The pros for sure. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.200 Or if you have trouble with things falling out of 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.560 your ears, I find that the AirPods Pro almost like 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.640 are like magnets into your ears. They're that good. They 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.920 just stay in there. So one hundred and seventy nine 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.880 dollars AirPods third generation available. 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:54.480 Now let's get to the first question. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.320 Jerry says, since you first told us about popcart, I've 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.039 been using it. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.040 It's been very helpful and I loved it. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.760 Nice to know if you're getting the best deal or 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.719 the item is cheaper somewhere else. I just got an 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.520 email they're shutting down, very disappointing. 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.640 Do you have another service that does this, Jerry, Jerry, 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:10.239 I don't. 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.640 I popcart was a service that I had not heard 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:19.240 of until the pandemic. And popcart basically is a little 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.320 chrome extension. And when you're shopping on a website that's supported, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.240 like a best Buy or a Target or a game 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.240 Stop or a Low's or a Coal's, and you go 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.600 to a product, it would say, oh, hey, we found 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.240 this cheaper. And so I really don't know of a 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.520 good alternative. I really liked popcart because it so simple 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.760 and it just worked. But I did get the same 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.560 email that you got that said, hey, we're shutting down, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:46.400 We're done, So I don't know what to say more 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:51.440 about that. Then they're just it's it, They're gone. Yeah, 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.440 I can't believe it says they've helped more than two 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:59.360 hundred and fifty thousand users, So I don't know what 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.320 to say. So you could get rid of it. I 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:03.880 don't know why they're shutting down. I gues two hundred 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.120 and fifty thousand users is just not that many. The 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:12.040 only alternative I can think of is probably Honey, and 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.360 that's it. I think their website is get honey dot com. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.480 Let me see what their website is, Join honey dot com. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:24.440 So joinhney dot com is their website and I guess 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.280 that's the best one. That's the one that I use now. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.400 I've got that installed on my computer and it seems 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.200 to work. But to be quite honest, I mainly shop 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.920 on Amazon. I'm not doing a lot of price comparisons online. 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.880 Maybe I'll cross check best Buy, but I think Honeywill 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.600 will be a decent replacement. But I don't know of 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.640 one good website that searches deals across various websites. I 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.199 think it's probably because all the websites want you to 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.720 shop on Amazon because they get a referral fee. So 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.520 I don't really know. If you find one, let me know, 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.200 or if you have one, tweet me. But that's I'm 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.520 mostly Amazon anyway. I mostly shop Amazon, Target, best Buy. 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.200 That's it, so I can easily look at the prices 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.280 across those three places. But it was nice to know 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:08.360 if something was was on sale somewhere else. Speaking of Amazon, 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.559 Amazon's new fire TV smart TVs are now available. They 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.000 have two flavors of these, the fire TV Omni series 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.440 and the four Series. The Omni is the nicer of 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.720 the bunch. I think they're going to sell a lot 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.800 of the four series because they're so cheap, but I 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.840 would probably recommend the Omni series if you're getting serious, 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.480 and especially if you're buying the bigger size, so the 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.120 four series. A forty three inch TV is three sixty nine, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.240 which a pretty pretty good deal. A fifty inch is 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.560 let's see here, a fifty inch is four to sixty nine, 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.240 and a fifty five inch is five p nineteen, and 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.720 then you step up to the sixty five inch Omni series, 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.120 which is better four k those I would say you 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.040 probably don't want to go less than sixty five inch. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.800 That's eight twenty nine, and then a seventy five inch 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.680 is one thousand ninety nine. Now I need to upgrade 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.760 my tea, and I'm trying to figure out if I 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.520 should go with this, or if I should go with TCL, 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:04.559 or if I should go with Visio. 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.240 I've got a Visio right now. I like the TCL. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.520 I've recommended the sixth series to everyone, and so I 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.040 feel like that's a good one to get. But I 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:17.800 also like the software on the Fire TV. But also 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.280 now TCL makes a Google TV like it's powered by Google, 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:23.599 so I may go with that. So I'm going to 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.000 be making this decision very soon. There's kind of a 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:27.960 lot on my list right now things to buy, so 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.760 I need to figure out my plan for purchasing all 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:36.559 of these different things. But the fireTV Omnia or Omna 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.840 Omni series has everything you need. It's got hands free 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.800 voice control, it's got four K, it's got HDR, it's 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.560 got Dolby Digital Plus also Dolby Vision on the sixty 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.160 five and seventy five inch models. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.320 It's got support for Airplay. 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.880 Two coming soon, which is really neat because you can 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.600 share stuff from your phone. It's got this feature where 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.360 you can ask Alexa to play something on Netflix, so 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.079 you can just say play something on Netflix and it 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.680 will play something that it thinks you'll like. You've got 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.520 three HDMI inputs, although you probably don't need them as 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.240 much anymore because everything is built into the TV. It's 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.040 got picture and picture for the doorbell or video cameras, 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.640 which is really cool. It's got Alexa Voice video calling, 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.160 so if you plug in a supported webcam you can 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.040 do that, or you can do Zoom later this year. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.640 It's got the fireTV remote that I love, so I 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.360 don't know, I'm one. This one's seeming pretty good. So 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.280 it really comes down to the software. Do you like 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.679 the software from Amazon or Google? Probably Amazon is the 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.760 bigger platform at this point. But I always tell people 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.480 to buy the TV and then add a streaming box. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.000 Later of your choice. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.000 But to be totally honest with this Fire TV, I 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.520 don't think you need to do that. And I think 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.920 that Amazon will continue to support these for a while 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.280 just because they are such a big, a big part 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:51.920 of their business. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.719 You know, these smart products. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.559 So they are available. Let me know if you purchase one. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:05.120 I think they look pretty pretty great. All right, let's 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:09.520 get to another question here. This one comes from mm 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.640 MM rights iCloud storage. 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:12.520 What do you think about it? 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.480 It says you can share it with family as my 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.880 wife has an iPhone, but I have a Galaxy S 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.240 ten e. I can see it, says I have it, 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:21.240 but I don't see it. 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:23.559 MM. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.080 So, yes, if you have iCloud, you can share it 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.560 among several family members, and if your wife has an iPhone, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.920 she can use easily on the on the Galaxy. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.040 I don't know of a way to use iCloud storage. 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.720 Now, maybe I am mis misguided on that, but I 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.080 don't think there's a way for you to easily access 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:47.480 iCloud on the Galaxy S ten. So if you are 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.040 thinking of sharing as a family plan, I would say 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.240 maybe look into a third party service that works across 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.440 all platforms, which would be something like a dropbox something like. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.600 It depends what you're doing, you know, like a one drive. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.800 You can do Google Photos if you're just doing photos. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:04.960 But I would look. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:09.480 Into that because iCloud is primarily geared towards iPhone users, 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.200 and if you're a family that's using a variety of devices, 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.120 it's probably not the best choice for you. Really get 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.160 through some of these stories here. Let's move on to Instagram. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.560 Instagram has opened up links in stories to everyone. Now 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:27.680 I'm talking about this given the fact that the average 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.600 person probably doesn't have a need for this. How many 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.160 links is the average person sharing? 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:31.600 I don't know. 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.440 But when you need to share one, maybe you figured 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.400 out that you couldn't the feature wasn't available. But there's 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.480 so many influencers out there that you follow that they're 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.240 always sharing links, you know. So it used to be 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.240 on Instagram Stories. It used to be a swipe up 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.920 to link. And so I had this feature, you got 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.400 access to it when you had ten thousand followers or 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.960 somehow Instagram blessed you with it, but primarily it was 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.559 if you had ten thousand followers you would get this feature, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.920 So that was mostly influences creators, people that amassed a 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.920 large following. They were able to give that option to 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.360 swipe up for a link to something, an external link 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.880 to a website, and I've had that for a while, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.439 I've used it. It's very helpful, but the average person 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.760 could not use that, And so if the average person 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.960 wanted to share, for instance, a link to their GoFundMe 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.120 or a link to find a loss pet or whatever, 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.200 they just couldn't do it. And they probably a lot 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:27.800 of people were probably scratching their heads and being like 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.880 am I missing something? Like why don't I have this? 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.640 And so Instagram had reasons for this. The primary reason 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.680 is that there was never really a good way to 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.600 link out of Instagram. But influencers need that to make 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.840 money and to share links and all that good stuff, 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.840 so they gave it to them. But they also had 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.760 to ride this other side of things of safety and security. 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.320 They don't want just a whole bunch of bought accounts 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.000 setting up or bought accounts just immediately sharing links, so 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.360 there had to be some sort of threshold for it, 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.040 and the ten thousand followers seemed to be a threshold 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.160 that worked, and so that's what they did for a 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:04.200 long time until now. Now they're giving this functionality to everyone, 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.120 and they said, you know what, there's a lot of 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.600 reasons why we like this idea, so let's give it 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.120 to everyone. And they change it a little bit. Now 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.320 it's actually a link. It's a sticker that you put 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.040 on your account, like on your story. And if you've 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:19.960 used a sticker before, those are basically if you have 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:24.720 ever added like a gift to your account or you know, 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.600 like a it's Monday or whatever like. So it's a sticker. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.240 It's a sticker on your account. If you've used it, 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.080 you know what I'm talking about. So now if you 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.480 go into the stickers when you go into stories, there 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:34.200 should be one. 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:34.720 That says link. 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.920 If it's not there right away, they're still rolling out 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.560 availability to this to everyone and so you may not 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.880 have it today, but it might show up tomorrow. So 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.400 you go on there, you uh tap the sticker link 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.080 and you can then paste a link in there. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.160 And put it on your story. And that's it. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.640 And I did a little tutorial on this on my 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.720 face on my Instagram at rich On Tech if you 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.840 want to check it out, because I always take for 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.640 granted that people just know how to do all this stuff, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.000 and I realize that they don't, so I put the 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:05.920 little tutorial there. If you know how to do it, great, 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:07.520 just freeze by it. If you don't, share it with 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.320 a friend or learn how to do it. But the 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.360 stickers and the links are you know, it's helpful, you 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.800 know when we're putting a link to something. And I 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.600 think that the sticker is better than the swipe up 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.480 because swipe up was always confusing to people and the 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:26.240 tapping on a link sticker is much more understandable. I 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.920 think to most people. If you don't have access to it, 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.800 the only reason you wouldn't is because you've been posting 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:37.600 harmful content on Instagram. So if you're a brand new account, 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.920 or you're posting stuff like hate speech or misinformation all 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.040 the time, or anything that violates their community guidelines, you 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.160 will not get access to link sticker. But you're listening 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.120 to the rich On Tech Show, I don't think that's 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:55.800 anyone that's listening here. Let's get to the next question 0:16:56.000 --> 0:17:00.240 of the show Let's see. Audrey says that I love 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.160 following your Instagram and listening to your podcast. Keep up 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.520 the awesome work, Audrey. I feel like I'm talking directly 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.720 to your ears right now. Thank you so much for that. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.679 Audrey says, I had to download the Clear app on 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:16.280 my phone and attend an event for vaccination verification. Now 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.680 I have concerns about the app, like if they're ever hacked. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.000 After having to upload a photo of my driver's license 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.359 and vaccine card, you also need to take a selfie photo, 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.000 so now they have my eyescan, is there a way 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.200 to pull back my info from their database files? And 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.360 are my concerns valid? Thanks Audrey, Audrey, No, you are 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:34.760 totally out of line. 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:35.560 No, I'm just kidding. 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.040 I think your concerns are very valid, and I think 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.200 that it's smart to think this way. Whenever you are 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.399 uploading anything to anywhere that involves your personal information or 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.840 your biometrics, you should be very concerned. In fact, I 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.560 think twice about giving my phone number at the checkout 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.439 when they say, hey, you can save ten percent today 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.840 by giving us your phone number. Well, yeah, that ten 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.640 percent is nice, but guess what happened your phone number 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.440 is now percolating into one thousand and one different databases 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.440 depending on their privacy policy. And you probably didn't read 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.160 it before you shared your phone number, and so that's 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.040 why you get all those robo calls from time to time. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.120 Well it's just one reason. So yes, you should be 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.080 concerned about giving out anything when it comes to personal information. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.199 In fact, I always recommend give out the least amount 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.520 of information that they will take to do whatever you're 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.879 trying to do. And when it comes to signing up 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.920 at places like Target or you know, Walmart or whatever, 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:31.879 Walmart doesn't have a loyalty program, but you know what 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.520 I mean. You know there's a loyalty program everywhere, and 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.959 there's always like some little perk that you get in 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.040 exchange for your phone number, and then they start texting 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:43.120 you incessantly. And so you know, with some of these companies, 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.320 it's fine because you get something in exchange. But with 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:49.200 clear I understand this is a big company. Your information 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.720 is probably safe with them, but there's always a way 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:54.919 to get out of their databases. And so if you 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.280 look at their privacy policy, it says you may request 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.240 that we remove your databases remove from our databases any 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:07.840 personal information we maintain about you. You may request removal 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.240 of your personal information by contacting us in the how 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.400 to contact Us section of this privacy policy. We will 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.120 honor your request, except that we may retain limited information 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.520 so that we can comply with your request not to 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.360 be contacted in the future. So go ahead and contact them, 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.960 say I want out, and they should contact you back 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.159 and say you got out. And I think, Audrey, that 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:33.160 it's a good idea to be like this and from 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:37.119 time to time just get rid of your information, you know, 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:41.840 unsubscribed to things, you know, close out accounts, old accounts, certainly, 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.640 don't reuse the same password over and over, and get 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:50.320 your information out of as many databases as possible, and 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.560 that really you don't have to make a concerted effort 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.720 to do this, but when the time comes. So, for instance, 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.440 I talked to a privacy expert a long time ago, 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.640 Haley Kaplan was her name is her name. 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:04.200 We haven't talked in a while. 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.800 But she was she was great, and she talked all 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.919 about privacy and all these different things, and one thing 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:14.720 she said that always stuck with me. She said, you know, 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:16.560 you get these things in the mail every year from 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:21.960 your bank, from your from everyone, and it says, hey, 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.679 you have to you can you can opt out of 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:28.080 your of US sharing your your privacy or your information 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.159 with third parties. And you just take this thing, you 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:31.440 look at it and you say I'm not doing that, 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.880 and you throw it out. It's too confusing to understand. 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.040 But she said every single time you should, you should 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.440 send it back and say I opt out. And what 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.639 that means is that your bank, your credit card, your 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:47.280 your insurance company can't share anything with third parties. And 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:49.600 if your personal information. A lot of times they aggregate 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:53.080 this information and share it in databases with other people 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:54.919 that they either sell it to or just share it to. 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.240 And so you have the option to say, nah, I 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.280 don't want that. And the more that you do this, 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.960 the less you're information shows up in those databases. So, 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.640 for instance, I went through and remove my information from 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.000 a lot of those like personal information websites step pop 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:13.440 up everywhere that say you know who is rich to 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:15.960 miro you know, and it has all this disinformation, half 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.919 of it's fake or half of it's not right you 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:20.919 know about you. And so I went through and I 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:22.719 did that, And you can do this with yellow pages. 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:24.520 You could do this with white pages. You could do 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.960 this with well maybe not yellow pages, but you know 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:30.520 white pages. You can do this with you know, Google maps. 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.720 You can blur out your house, you can you can 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:34.600 do it with a lot of this stuff. And so 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.199 any opportunity you have to get your information taken out 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:40.560 of one of these databases, do it. If it's as 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:41.919 long as you can do it and it's easy and 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:44.520 the company's legitimate. If they're legitimate, they'll get rid of it. 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.720 If they're not, you're actually just handing over your personal information. So, 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:52.080 for instance, if you see a spam email and it's 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:53.440 like legitimate spam. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:54.880 And they're like, hey, you know, click here to be. 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.800 To opt out, don't click those because that actually opts 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.440 you in. It confirms that your email address is a live, 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:04.680 working email address, and then they send you more email 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:06.040 and it was spam. 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:06.600 Same thing. 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.320 Don't even respond to spam emails. Don't even say stop. 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.480 Now if it is a real company, like a home depot, 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:14.560 and you sign up for a coupon or something, and 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:16.800 now they text you every weekend saying hey, come on 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.600 in five bucks off that I'm going to stay on 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:20.000 that list. 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:21.320 If they give you five bucks off. 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.080 But what I've found is that they just text you, 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.000 like promotions that are not discounts, and they just say, hey, 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.200 come on in and get your garden going for the 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:30.080 summer or whatever. I don't know why you do that, 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:31.160 because do you summer garden? 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:31.600 I don't know. 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.040 If I was a gardener, maybe i'd know. But with those, 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:37.960 with those texts, you can opt out, like a best Buy, 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.280 a Macy's, you know, if it's a real company, you can. 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.200 You can just type stop and you'll stop getting messages. 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:46.919 And I feel bad, especially with the smaller businesses. Sometimes 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:48.359 I'll sign up for their stuff, you know, if I'm 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.760 in a store, like if I find myself in a 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.320 little hallmark town, like a little main street somewhere, and 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.480 I'm at a gift shop with those little signs that 0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.720 say like, you know, whine is my best friend and 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:01.200 my ally or something like that. 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:01.960 You know, those little. 0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:04.080 Signs that you see. I was in one the other day. 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:06.600 It was so funny. It had like the best signs. 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:11.280 Some of those things are so great and anyway, so 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.639 you sign up for their little database thing, and then 0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.080 you feel bad taking your name off the list because 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.280 you're like, well, I don't know. Maybe maybe I should 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:22.560 just stay with them. But what was I talking about anyway? 0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.840 So yes, Audrey, good, good point. Get your information out 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.040 of those databases when possible. 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:30.920 All right, let's talk. 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:35.720 Speaking of databases, let's talk everyone's favorite conversation. 0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:37.919 Let's talk about coronavirus. 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:40.760 Do people even call it coronavirus anymore? It's just covid 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:45.000 or it's just like the world we live in. But 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:49.600 there was an update to the iPhone this week, iOS 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:53.119 fifteen point one, and it gave you a new feature, 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:57.120 the ability to add your vaccination card to Apple Wallet. 0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:59.560 And I got so much about this, Rich, I've been 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.280 able to do this forever. I know more than you. Okay, Yes, 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:05.040 And here's the thing. 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.960 When I post stuff to social media or to my 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:11.200 Facebook page, people are always trying to like get me, like, 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:12.720 h Rich, I knew this. 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:13.800 I already know that. 0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.240 I knew, Oh you could do this before. I've had 0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:16.879 that for months. 0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:17.280 Okay. 0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:21.280 When I post something typically it's because there's something new 0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:23.920 to it, there's a new aspect to it. And so yes, 0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.800 with the digital vaccination card. In fact, I've had my 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:32.640 card in an app called common Pass that has been 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.440 on my phone for a while, but you could not 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:39.280 add it to Apple Wallet, and some people have through 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.040 their healthcare provider the ability to add to Apple Wally. 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:45.560 Here's what's different about this new vaccination card. It is 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:49.080 now what's called a verifiable vaccination card. 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:50.040 And so what they're. 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:54.320 Doing is they are working with third party apps that 0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:59.480 can verify that your card in your Apple Wallet is legitimate. 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:01.920 And so what does that mean. It means that let's 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.960 say you're flying United Airlines and they say, hey, can 0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:08.040 you upload a copy of your vaccination card? Instead of 0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.119 having to actually go take a picture of your vaccination 0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:14.639 card or somehow finding you know, a verification of that 0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:18.440 card and uploading it to the app, the app will say, hey, 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:21.119 can we ping your Apple Wallet and we'll find it 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:23.959 in there or Apple Health and we'll just see that 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.560 your copy is verifiable, and you say sure, and they 0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:29.240 do it and in seconds you're verified without having to 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:33.200 do anything more. So that's what the big difference is here. 0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:36.320 And so if you're in California, and I wrote the 0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.720 instructions just for California, and since that's where I primarily appear, 0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.320 it's it's really easy. You just go to the vaccine 0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:48.879 the Vaccine Record Portal from California. You type in your information, 0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:51.960 you choose a four digit pin, they send you a 0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:55.320 QR code, and then you just import that QR code. 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:56.320 It should be there should be. 0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.119 A button at the bottom that says add to Apple 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:01.720 Wallet and Health. You tap it and boom, your vaccination 0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:03.280 card is now an Apple Wallet. 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:04.080 Now. 0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:06.439 I also updated my Apple Watch, and if you have 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:09.719 one of these with the latest Apple Watch software on it, 0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.600 which I think is Watch os eight point one, you 0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:15.879 can double click your little home button or your side button, 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.919 and now your vaccination card is also in there. And 0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:23.400 so that's really cool, and so it's a neat feature. 0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:26.280 It's simple. I'm not going to get into the debate 0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:29.760 over asking for vaccination proof and all that stuff. That's 0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.679 not for this show. But I will say if you 0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:36.200 are being asked for your vaccination card at entry at 0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.119 certain places, this is an easy way to show it. 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.600 Let me tell you just quickly about some of the places. Now, 0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:47.320 I did the the easiest way for California with the records, 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:51.040 but there is a whole bunch of providers that this 0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.120 works with. So what they're doing is they're using these 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:56.760 smart health card. So that's the smart Health Card is 0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:01.960 importable into Apple Wallet and Apple Health and if you're 0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:05.840 a business, you can actually download the Smart Health Card 0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.760 Verifyer app and you can scan people's QR codes. Now 0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:11.960 that's it's getting pretty intense if you're doing that. But 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.480 you know, again, we're not getting into the whole debate 0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:19.800 over this in this show. But who uses this California, Hawaii, Louisiana, 0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:23.320 New York, Virginia, a bunch of places in Canada, a 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:28.200 bunch of pharmacies Cedar Sinai, Express Scripts, Kaiser, write Aid, 0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:33.840 United Healthcare, Walgreens, Walmart, and then a whole bunch of providers. 0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:35.440 And I'm not going to go over the list of 0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:38.040 those because there's just too many. City of Hope, Cleveland Clinic, 0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:43.040 Penn Medicine. So basically, the bottom line is that if 0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:48.240 you see or can access your Smart Health Card record 0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:51.600 from your wherever you got your vaccination card, you can 0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.440 now import it into Apple Wallet. It's a really simple process. 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.680 It's really great, you know, if you're into this sort 0:27:57.680 --> 0:27:59.240 of thing, and it works really nicely. 0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.520 And so that's it. Now. 0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:05.680 The other question is when you get a booster, will 0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:08.159 it show up and the reality is that you actually 0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:11.040 have to import this card once again to show the 0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:14.160 booster but it does have the ability to show booster shots. 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:18.080 So that's it. That's all you need to know. Get 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:24.760 that card on your phone if you so choose. Jackie 0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:25.359 says Rich. 0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:27.640 When will Apple come out with a new iPod Touch 0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:29.160 or are they finished with them? 0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:32.399 Please let me know, oh Jackie. The iPod Touch. 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:37.560 The iPod Touch revolutionized running. In my mind back in 0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:41.240 the day, when I had an iPod Touch, oh my gosh, 0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:44.840 along with Nike running on it, I thought I was 0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:48.680 king of the world. I had my music, I had 0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:52.040 a running app I could see. I don't know if 0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:53.720 it was a map of where I ran, but it 0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:55.960 was like a trail of where I ran. 0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.000 It was life was good. 0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:03.360 And I don't know what's happening to the iPod Touch, 0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:07.000 because this is a device that has been eclipsed by 0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:11.120 the iPhone and it's just something that a large majority 0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:14.720 of people no longer need, which means Apple is not 0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:17.400 really putting that much effort into them now. When I 0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.320 go to my favorite website for all things Apple products, 0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:24.600 Buyer's Guide dot MacRumors dot Com, again Buyer's guide dot 0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:28.160 MacRumors dot com. It tells me that the iPod Touch 0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:31.160 has not been updated in eight hundred and eighty four days, 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:35.120 which sounds absolutely wild until you look at the history 0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:38.800 of the updates and the history the average is four 0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:43.200 hundred days four hundred and four to be to be exact, 0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:48.640 So four hundred and four days is the average it 0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:50.840 takes them to come up with a new one. The 0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:53.520 last time they came up with it was July twenty seventeen, 0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:57.840 then July twenty fifteen, June twenty fourteen, September twenty thirteen, 0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:01.440 May twenty thirteen, and then Octo over twenty twelve. So 0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:06.480 let's say twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, 0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:10.280 twenty seventeen, and twenty nineteen. There could be a twenty 0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:12.440 twenty one in there, but I don't think so. I 0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:14.640 think we're good with all the product updates from Apple 0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.800 this year, but perhaps next year, I don't know. 0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:19.400 Maybe they'll keep this going. 0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:21.920 Just as kind of a legacy product that just some 0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:24.000 people buy, and they know they just need to make, like, 0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:25.680 you know, a couple hundred thousand of them a year 0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:26.320 just for. 0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:27.719 Keep some people happy. 0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:31.760 But that is That is the most I know, and 0:30:32.040 --> 0:30:37.640 I'm looking at the rumors. This says unreleased iPod Touch 0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:43.000 five with Shamford edges and thirty pin dock connector shared online. 0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:51.800 Oh wow, this actually looks like an iPod Touch that is. 0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:58.680 Closer to the I don't know, there's no way thirty pin. 0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:00.400 I don't know what this means. 0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.760 But anyway, I think that it's one of these things 0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:06.000 where I don't think it's coming out this year. 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:07.680 Let's put it this way, Let's put it that way. 0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:11.880 So maybe make plans for a you know, maybe just 0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:15.240 purchasing one on eBay or just buy the current one 0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.720 and use that because a current one works just fine. 0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:20.480 There's nothing new about. 0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:24.920 It all, right, Wise came out with a lot of 0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:29.640 new products this week. Whyse is a real fan favorite 0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:33.120 when it comes to smart home products, and they're building 0:31:33.120 --> 0:31:38.040 out a very, very robust lineup of smart home products. 0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:38.800 Now. 0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.360 I often talk on this show about my love of 0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:45.800 Ring and how they're doing a robust lineup of products, 0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:47.920 but I think Why Is is sort of the anti Ring 0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:51.920 because they're not owned by a big company and they 0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:55.040 have a lot of stuff very competitive prices. But I 0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:58.560 think that the frustrating thing about Why sometimes is that 0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:02.040 it could either be tough get their products, or it's 0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:04.720 like weird pricing because you have to pay for like shipping. 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.000 Sometimes they're not always available on Amazon in like a 0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:12.440 straightforward way or just available in a straightforward way in general. 0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:15.959 But with that said, I've got a couple of wise cams. 0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:17.800 I love them. I think they do a great job. 0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.480 I think that their software is always being updated. They 0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:22.960 have a good team, it seems. And so here's what 0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:26.040 they've got going on. A new Wise solar panel which 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:29.920 is twenty dollars, and the Why solar panel will power 0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:36.680 the wise cam outdoor, so it's it's basically the equivalent 0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:40.000 of the Ring solar panel. This is twenty bucks plus shipping, 0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:42.360 which is pretty good. But shipping starts see this is 0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:44.440 the thing. It starts shipping in January. So I'm telling 0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:47.080 you about this in October and you can't get it 0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:49.640 until January, which I think, as a customer or as 0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:53.560 a consumer is really frustrating because you're hearing about this 0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:55.840 and you want it, and now you have to wait 0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:59.400 until January to get it. So my advice to Whys 0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:03.360 would be to not talk about products until they're available, 0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:07.640 or maybe in a week or two before, because it's 0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:10.560 that's frustrating, you're talking. I gotta wait at least two 0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:13.080 months to get my product, and perhaps in January. I'm 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.560 not even sure it's gonna be available. Then you've got 0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:19.200 the Why's Lamp Socket and this this enables you to 0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:23.080 plug your camera into a lamp socket so to power 0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:26.520 it that way. That's forty five dollars plus shipping, and 0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:28.800 that starts shipping in December, so again we got to 0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:32.880 wait till December. Then they've got a Wyse Switch three pack, 0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:36.680 and this is a three pack of switches that control 0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:39.600 wise lights and other wise devices at the touch of 0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:42.120 a button. That's thirty three dollars for a three pack, 0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:43.360 which is very competitive. 0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:45.440 That starts shipping in December. 0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:51.720 Then you've got the Why's Bulb white four pack, and 0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:54.720 that is thirty two dollars. Again, starts shipping in November, 0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:58.120 which I think Wyse already has. They do have white 0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:01.240 bulbs because I got them for my mom. So that's 0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:03.240 a four pack. I don't know what the difference is 0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:05.960 between this and the other ones that they had before, 0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:09.239 but that's what's happening. Then you've got a couple other 0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:15.239 things happening Campo Cam plus Pro and this is a 0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:18.560 new way to secure your home with AI powered professional security. 0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:21.560 Your wisecam will be able to arm, disarm. 0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:24.800 Detect people, and trigger alerts to a professional dispatch security. 0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:27.560 And all you need is a wisecam, So that's kind 0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:30.919 of cool. And then you've got camera. Oh you're gonna 0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:32.880 be able to view your wise cams on the web, 0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:36.120 so that's kind of cool. So a lot of announcements 0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:39.800 from Why's and again it's all just kind of getting 0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:43.799 into the scheme of things when it comes to, you know, 0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:47.239 just building out a robust system that you can rely 0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:49.480 on in your house with these smart home products at 0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:53.000 a very reasonable price. And I think that, you know, 0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:56.400 you'd be hard pressed to find another family of products 0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:57.399 as robust as. 0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:58.760 Ring or Wise. 0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:01.600 And if you look at stuff like at Google, Yeah, 0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:03.600 they've got a bunch of stuff, but it's very expensive. 0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:05.479 And Google's kind of all over the place. 0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:08.200 I've said this before, it's probably why they're not sending 0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:09.399 me the pixel to test out. 0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:12.200 But Google is all over the place with their products. 0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:14.520 And you get stuff and it's like, oh, we just 0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:17.839 continued that, or we're not supporting it, or whatever they do. 0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:20.960 They just hang on, let me check my email before 0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:22.640 I trash them even more. Are they sending me the 0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:24.879 the Pixel to test out? 0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:25.600 No, they're not. 0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:29.600 So I put in my request to Google to test 0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:31.719 the Pixel and they just completely ignored it. 0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:32.640 They could care less. 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:34.960 So I don't know what I did, what I said, 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:38.200 but they are just like, we don't care rich We're 0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:40.920 not We're not sending you the Pixel to review. So 0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:44.600 I've got to go out and secure one when it 0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:46.200 hits the stores. 0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:48.920 Google. 0:35:49.120 --> 0:35:51.600 I've tested every pixel phone, They've sent every Pixel phone 0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:53.799 to test since day one, and this one they just 0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:55.080 decide that I don't exist. 0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:56.560 I don't know what the deal is. I don't know. 0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:58.080 It's probably something I said. 0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:00.320 I believe I called the Pixel a one trick pony 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:01.080 on this podcast. 0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:04.040 Maybe that was it. I don't know, but I think 0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:06.200 that honesty is the best policy. 0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:08.680 I like to tell you what I think about products, 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:13.120 and if that interrupts my relationship with the company and 0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:16.040 their ability to send me that product review, then then 0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:16.759 so be it. 0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:18.440 I mean, I can't I can't. 0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:21.600 Withhold the truth because that's what I deal in, and 0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:23.520 I want to make sure that you know what's happening 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:28.080 with these things, all right, syl says, hey, Rich, hope 0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.520 all as well. I have over sixty thousand pictures on 0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:32.759 my iPhone. Can you recommend the best way to save 0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:35.080 and retrieve all these photos is a stick? 0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:36.600 The best way? If so, which one? 0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:39.759 I'm currently saving on iCloud and Google Photos and on 0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:42.280 a Shutterfly app. I would like to clear my phone 0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.400 of some of these photos. They are all family photos, 0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:50.759 grandchildren mostly. Thanks for your advice, Sylvana. Well, Sylvana, I 0:36:50.760 --> 0:36:53.480 think you are doing the right thing by saving to iCloud, 0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:54.880 Google Photos and Shutterfly. 0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:58.160 I also think that maybe that's a little overkill. I 0:36:58.160 --> 0:36:59.480 think you only need two places. 0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.360 So you said you want to clear your phone of 0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:05.680 some of these photos, now, I think the easiest way 0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:09.320 to do that is to stick with iCloud and Google Photos. 0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:14.320 And so what I would do is there's a couple 0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:16.560 things you can do. And it gets a little confusing 0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:20.800 because there is a feature on Google Photos that lets 0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.040 you delete pictures. 0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:24.720 From your phone. 0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:27.440 And so let's say you're just like like I am 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.719 just using Google Photos. So when my phone gets filled up, 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:33.640 I go into Google Photos and it says free up 0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:34.840 space on this phone. 0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:35.520 I click that. 0:37:35.800 --> 0:37:38.719 It deletes all the pictures from my phone, and I 0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:42.000 now have them safely backed up to Google Cloud and 0:37:42.080 --> 0:37:45.439 they are not on my phone any longer. I also 0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:48.879 have them in a third place, and that keeps them 0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:51.600 sorry in a second place, which keeps them backed up 0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:54.399 as well, so I can safely get rid of them 0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.200 from my phone because I don't need them there anymore. Now, 0:37:57.280 --> 0:37:59.719 when it comes to Google Photos and doing that same thing, 0:37:59.800 --> 0:38:04.040 if you're using iCloud, that is going to delete pictures 0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:08.440 off your phone and which will in turn trigger them to. 0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:09.800 Be deleted off of iCloud. 0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:13.239 So the better option for you is to actually go 0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:15.239 into if you're gonna stick with I Cloud and stick 0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:20.400 with Google Photos, is to go into iCloud settings. And 0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:23.719 so you want to go into settings, and then you 0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:26.759 want to go into iCloud, and then you want to 0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:31.719 go into photos and let's see that's not where it is. Actually, yeah, 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:34.839 that is not where it is. Okay, well, don't listen 0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:36.480 to me, because that's not exactly where it is. 0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:38.160 Let's see where. 0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:42.600 Is the there used to be. Let me go into 0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:46.040 photos and see if it's in there. Ugh, why do 0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:49.480 you have to put things in such different places? Okay, 0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:54.040 here it is, let's see is that it? 0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:55.720 Okay? 0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:58.160 So I don't have iCloud Photos turned on, but when 0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:01.000 you do, if you go into setting and then photos, 0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:04.880 there should be an option that says optimize. 0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:06.120 Storage. 0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:08.960 And so when you click that or toggle that on 0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:13.479 on your iPhone, it will automatically or should I say, 0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:19.480 automagically offload some of the pictures on your iPhone. And 0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:22.960 this is a very confusing feature that it's just so 0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:25.800 apple to do something like this, but it works really well, 0:39:26.200 --> 0:39:28.880 but it's very confusing because I get this question all 0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:30.759 the time. People say, if I delete a photo from 0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:33.840 Google or my phone, is it going to delete from iCloud? 0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:37.480 And the short answer is it's not easy to answer 0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:40.960 in a short answer. So the reality is the best 0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:44.120 way to do this is to just let iCloud optimize 0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:46.360 the storage on your phone. And what that means is 0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:49.120 that if your storage is running low on your iPhone, 0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:53.200 iCloud will go through and it will delete the full 0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:54.880 resolution picture. 0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:55.640 From your phone. 0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:58.319 It will keep that in iCloud, but it will keep 0:39:58.360 --> 0:40:02.880 a small, low red solution thumbnail on your iPhone, and 0:40:02.960 --> 0:40:05.000 so when you need that picture again, you can just 0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:08.240 tap it and it will quickly download the full resolution 0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:11.320 photo in the background for sharing or for viewing or whatever. 0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:15.479 And I do believe that there's a little cloud icon 0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:21.000 on the photo in the photos app that will denote 0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:24.040 that the actual photo is not being stored on your 0:40:24.080 --> 0:40:24.680 phone anymore. 0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:26.200 It's being stored in the cloud. But if you just 0:40:26.200 --> 0:40:27.720 tap it, it will restore that photo. 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:29.719 So that's the way I would do it, and that 0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:32.359 way it will not mess with Google Photos. It will 0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:34.640 not even mess with the Shutterfly app. It will still 0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:37.080 upload to both those places, but when storage gets low 0:40:37.160 --> 0:40:39.440 on your phone, it will go through and kind of 0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:41.920 manage some of that storage on your phone to make 0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:44.880 room for everyone, to make room for all the different 0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:48.759 pictures on your phone. All right, cloud Flare is introducing 0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:52.880 one point one point one point one for families. So 0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:55.200 I don't know, this kind of gets in a little 0:40:55.200 --> 0:40:57.920 bit techy, but I guess this whole show is techy, 0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:00.200 but I try to keep it, you know, on thee 0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:03.840 for most people that can understand it. But there's something 0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:07.600 that I always change on my router immediately when I 0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:10.040 get you know, when I get a router, is uh, 0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:13.640 I always change the DNS settings. And DNS is what 0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.360 is basically an address book for the web, and so 0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:19.000 by default you're using you know, your provider. We've talked 0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:21.160 about this in the show before, whether it's Spectrum or 0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:24.319 AT and T or Verizon or FiOS or whoever your 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:29.000 internet provider is, well, they use their their information their 0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:31.120 DNS look up. So if you want to be a 0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:35.480 bit more private, you can use a third party DNS resolver. 0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:37.399 And so Google makes one. 0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:39.759 There's this eight dot eight dot eight dot eight, and 0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:41.759 then the other one is cloud Flare. They make one 0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:44.960 called one dot one dot one dot one. And so 0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:50.359 what that does is it basically protects your lookups so 0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:53.719 that you know your your internet provider does not see 0:41:53.760 --> 0:41:57.120 as much information. And so this is most most a 0:41:57.160 --> 0:41:59.600 little bit more private. But a lot of people said, hey, 0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:03.840 we'd rather have oh it's also encrypted. We'd rather have 0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.160 something that works for the family. So can you come 0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:09.240 out with something that works for the family, and especially 0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:11.200 something that has maybe a little bit of filtering or 0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:14.319 maybe a little blocking built in. And so now one 0:42:14.400 --> 0:42:17.319 dot one dot one dot one for families gives an 0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:19.640 extra layer of protection to your home network to protect 0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:21.440 it from malware and adult content. 0:42:22.040 --> 0:42:25.680 So it's totally free, and all you have to. 0:42:25.640 --> 0:42:30.480 Do is change one setting on your router and it 0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:34.040 will immediately take effect. And so here's what you do. 0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:37.480 It's actually two settings in your router. So if you 0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:41.600 change the numbers on your primary DNS and your secondary DNS, 0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:45.080 it will help you route all of your DNS looks 0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:48.200 up look ups through their servers and not your ISPs. 0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:51.279 And so this will block malware if you set it 0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:53.480 to one dot one dot one dot two and then 0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:54.680 one zero zero two. 0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:55.600 And I'm getting a. 0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:59.080 Little bit techy here, but it sounds more complicated than this. 0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:01.239 It's actually quite easy to do this. Now, if you 0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:04.399 want to block malware and adult content, you can set 0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:06.680 it to one dot one dot one dot three and 0:43:07.120 --> 0:43:11.160 one dot zero dot zero dot three. And if you 0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:15.279 have one of the main providers, it's very easy to 0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:18.440 set this up. So if you have like an eurosystem 0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:24.959 or a a router from whatever, you can easily set 0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:28.120 this up at the router level, or you can just 0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:31.439 set it up on your actual devices. So if you 0:43:31.480 --> 0:43:34.319 if your kid has like an iPhone or a you know, 0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:36.880 computer or an Android. You can do it there. So 0:43:38.080 --> 0:43:40.439 on the website Cloudflare, I'll link it up. In the notes, 0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:44.320 they give instructions for linksys routers, a sous routers, Netgear routers, 0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:48.200 d link routers, and Ubiquity routers, and so all you 0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:50.560 have to do kind of is go into the routers 0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:53.759 and look for the DNS settings. That's that's the bottom line, 0:43:53.800 --> 0:43:56.720 and you change them to these numbers that I just mentioned. 0:43:57.120 --> 0:43:59.279 So it's either one dot one dot one dot two 0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:03.000 or one zero zero two or the other ones. And 0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:04.840 it's it's really easy. I do it on my computer 0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:05.440 all the time. 0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:09.120 I use Googles or do I use Googles. 0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:10.440 Or I use I can't remember which one I use, 0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:12.840 but I either use Google or cloud Flare. But this 0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:14.799 is good for families, and they are going to add 0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:17.160 some more features in the future, which is really cool. 0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:20.680 They are going to add. Let's see what are the 0:44:20.719 --> 0:44:23.719 other features they're going to add. You can create specific 0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:27.080 lists that allow and block certain sites. So, for instance, 0:44:27.080 --> 0:44:29.160 I fere on a block like roadblocks dot com. You 0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:31.960 can do that through this. You can set times of 0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:36.080 days when categories like social media are blocked, and you 0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:40.600 can also get reports on your internet your households internet usage, 0:44:40.960 --> 0:44:43.160 so you can see I don't know what that means, 0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.319 but you know, maybe the websites that they're spending time 0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:47.120 on or going to. I don't know if it's specific 0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:51.120 or just you know, category level, but this is a 0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:53.719 This is a very easy way to just give some 0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:57.920 basic protection to your family from malware and adult content. 0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:00.279 There are many other ways you can this. 0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:02.920 I know EO has things that are built in or 0:45:02.960 --> 0:45:05.120 you have to pay for them, I believe if you 0:45:05.160 --> 0:45:09.279 pay the extra thirty bucks a year, but you can 0:45:09.320 --> 0:45:13.400 also do something like if you want to pay something 0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:16.879 called Circle is really good. So Circle, I think their 0:45:16.880 --> 0:45:20.000 website is meet Circle, and that's really good and that 0:45:20.040 --> 0:45:22.640 gives you a lot more control. So if you want 0:45:22.680 --> 0:45:25.279 a lot of parental control over your kids and what 0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:28.680 they can access and when and how, then Circle is 0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:31.160 going to be. It's actually a physical device that you 0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:34.120 plug into your network, and that's really good. My kids 0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:38.080 hate it because you can really control. It's like down 0:45:38.120 --> 0:45:40.200 to the minute. You can say, okay, YouTube you get 0:45:40.200 --> 0:45:42.880 for a half an hour a day. You can you know, 0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:46.440 roadblocks is only available on weekends. Whatever you want to do, 0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:53.319 you can do it with that's very very powerful, all right, 0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:56.719 s rites in with the subject line iPhone thirteen can 0:45:56.760 --> 0:46:01.560 a text message be scheduled to be sent? Until recently 0:46:01.600 --> 0:46:04.040 I had an Android and I can schedule messages to 0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:06.759 be sent on a different day or time. I now 0:46:06.880 --> 0:46:08.440 own an iPhone and I would like to know if 0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:13.400 this is possible with the iPhone. Thank you S. The 0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:18.239 short answer here is I don't know, but also I 0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:21.400 don't think so, and as far as I know, built 0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:25.160 into so Android and iOS are very different in a 0:46:25.160 --> 0:46:28.200 lot of ways. But Android, I know, with the stock 0:46:28.360 --> 0:46:30.799 Google Messages app, I think if you just press and 0:46:30.800 --> 0:46:34.279 hold the little send button when you're going to you know, 0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:35.879 after you type in your message, or's like a little 0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:37.600 send arrow next to it. I think if you press 0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:40.640 and hold that, it will give you options to schedule 0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:43.040 a text and you can schedule it to send in 0:46:43.080 --> 0:46:46.920 an hour, whatever whatever time you want. On iPhone, not 0:46:47.040 --> 0:46:49.400 so much. And as far as I know, you can't 0:46:49.400 --> 0:46:52.680 do this at all on an iPhone because third party apps, 0:46:52.840 --> 0:46:55.160 as far as I know, do not have access to 0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:58.240 I Message, So you can't even download a third party 0:46:58.239 --> 0:47:01.720 app and schedule a message that way. Now, the only 0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:03.480 way that I think you could do this on an 0:47:03.480 --> 0:47:07.879 iPhone is with a third party service. So I'm sure 0:47:07.880 --> 0:47:10.040 there are plenty of them out there that you could 0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:13.480 download an app that will send text messages. It will 0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:16.120 not likely be from your phone number, but you can 0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:19.799 send a message from that app and schedule it. Now, 0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:21.640 I don't know of an app that does that. I'm 0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:24.600 sure there are plenty, especially for businesses. You know, there's 0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:26.920 lots of text messaging apps, but that would be the 0:47:26.920 --> 0:47:28.880 only way to do it. But as a as a 0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:32.040 casual user of a messaging program, if you just want 0:47:32.080 --> 0:47:35.080 to casually message your friend but schedule that message to 0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:37.360 send at a different time, I do not know of 0:47:37.400 --> 0:47:40.239 an easy way to do that on the iPhone. Let 0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:42.719 me know if you know of a way to do that. 0:47:42.840 --> 0:47:45.319 I just don't. All right, So you know, I got 0:47:45.320 --> 0:47:47.839 a Tesla, so I've been talking about and I'm very 0:47:47.960 --> 0:47:51.560 much interested in electric cars. At this point, I will 0:47:51.560 --> 0:47:56.560 tell you getting the not the supercharger, but I'm getting 0:47:56.600 --> 0:48:00.400 a charger installed at the house this week, and so 0:48:00.800 --> 0:48:03.239 I am excited for that, even though I don't really 0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.839 need it. I charge my car at work. That has 0:48:06.080 --> 0:48:09.640 been fantastic and quite honestly, it's free, and so I 0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:12.240 am going to take advantage of that as much as possible. 0:48:12.920 --> 0:48:15.080 And so I used to charge like on Sunday night 0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:18.279 or overnight on Saturday to Sunday. Now I just let 0:48:18.320 --> 0:48:21.719 my car run as far as humanly possible, as long 0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:23.160 as I can make it to work on Monday. 0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:25.120 I will charge it here. 0:48:25.000 --> 0:48:29.399 Because it's included. I shouldn't say free, it's included as 0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:33.680 a job perk of mine. And so but I'm getting 0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:35.520 this thing installed at home because a I bought the 0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:39.160 charger for six hundred bucks through Tesla, and I just figured, okay, well, 0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:40.680 now that I bought it, I'm not gonna return it, 0:48:41.040 --> 0:48:42.960 and it's probably nice to have it at home anyway, 0:48:43.000 --> 0:48:46.319 because I'm gonna need it eventually at some point. And 0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:48.160 so there are gonna be weekends where I want to 0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:50.200 take a road trip or I go out of you know, 0:48:50.400 --> 0:48:52.879 just drive further than I need to charge, and I've 0:48:52.960 --> 0:48:55.360 got to charge it up before Saturday or Sunday or whatever. 0:48:55.840 --> 0:48:59.239 And so I'm getting this installed. I tell you all 0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:02.960 of that because I'm talking about Lucid, and Lucid is 0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:06.279 a company that they're making an electric car that's very 0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:10.760 highly anticipated, very expensive. But they are doing their first 0:49:10.800 --> 0:49:14.880 deliveries this week. And so the Lucid Air is a 0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:20.560 five hundred and twenty mile range car and Lucid is 0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:24.600 out of Silicon Valley, but it is made in Arizona. 0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:26.719 I email the company to ask if I can come 0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:29.080 take a tour of the facility and drive the car. 0:49:29.160 --> 0:49:31.520 I hope they say yes. I don't know if they will, 0:49:31.560 --> 0:49:32.520 but let's hope they do. 0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:36.080 But they are doing deliveries of the Lucid Air, which 0:49:36.120 --> 0:49:38.880 is their first car. So this is very exciting for 0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:41.920 this company. And the range, like I said, five hundred 0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:45.080 and twenty miles, the longest range of any ev and 0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:47.800 zero to sixty and two point four to two seconds. 0:49:48.719 --> 0:49:50.879 Now this is their first you know, this is their 0:49:50.960 --> 0:49:55.520 big expensive Lucid Dream Edition and then they are going 0:49:55.560 --> 0:49:58.439 to come up with the Grand Touring Edition and then 0:49:58.560 --> 0:50:02.520 the Touring and Pure models are anticipated for in twenty 0:50:02.520 --> 0:50:06.000 twenty two. Now, the price, don't they don't list the 0:50:06.040 --> 0:50:10.040 price on their press release about this, but I you know, 0:50:10.160 --> 0:50:13.120 some other places had pricing. So these cars that they're 0:50:13.160 --> 0:50:15.400 delivering are like one hundred and seventy grand. Then the 0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:17.439 next car down is going to be like seventy eight, 0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:19.759 and then hopefully we'll have a car cheaper than that, 0:50:19.840 --> 0:50:22.319 and then eventually they want to make a car that's 0:50:22.360 --> 0:50:24.719 about twenty five grand, which is what Tesla has said 0:50:24.719 --> 0:50:28.120 as well. But the reality here is that this is 0:50:28.239 --> 0:50:31.759 fantastic for the electric car business. It just it's this 0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:34.359 is a startup, so they're not burdened by the same 0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:37.440 thing that a major car company that's like a Ford 0:50:37.520 --> 0:50:41.759 or a GM is burdened with, you know, to try 0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:45.640 to transform their company into something that's more electric. 0:50:46.040 --> 0:50:46.880 This is a startup. 0:50:46.920 --> 0:50:49.440 They're they're building it from the ground up, and it 0:50:49.480 --> 0:50:51.439 took Tesla ten years to get to where they are 0:50:52.040 --> 0:50:54.200 maybe a little bit less, but it took a while. 0:50:54.239 --> 0:50:55.680 I mean I was there at some of their first 0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:59.160 events and just just seeing where they've come from. This 0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:01.719 roadster that was so you know, I remember sitting in 0:51:01.719 --> 0:51:05.399 this two person roadster and you know, getting to meet 0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:07.960 Elon Musk and interview him. This is when I worked 0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:10.080 as a reporter at k CAL nine. I mean I 0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:12.839 was able to interview Elon Musk because he would give 0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:15.240 anyone an interview that would that would put a microphone 0:51:15.239 --> 0:51:18.040 in his face. And now if I emailed Elon Musk, 0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:20.600 he probably would not give me that same interview. And 0:51:20.719 --> 0:51:23.840 Tesla is not the same company. The company just reached 0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:28.040 a trillion dollar valuation, which just not many companies in 0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:30.960 America have that, you know, outside of Apple and Microsoft 0:51:31.000 --> 0:51:35.360 and Google, and you know, maybe a couple others nipping 0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:36.040 at their heels. 0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:39.320 But this is this a big deal for Lucid. 0:51:39.400 --> 0:51:42.080 I saw the car in person at the mall they 0:51:42.080 --> 0:51:44.560 have at the Century City Mall here in Los Angeles. 0:51:44.560 --> 0:51:47.480 They've got a little storefront, and me and my son 0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:48.920 went in there and we checked. 0:51:48.680 --> 0:51:49.360 Out the Lucid. 0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:52.680 It's beautiful, but the guy lost me at eighty grand. 0:51:52.719 --> 0:51:54.640 I said, Okay, well this is not for me right now. 0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:58.239 But it's a beautiful car. It's a luxurious car, and 0:51:58.719 --> 0:52:00.680 I have no doubt that people like this car will 0:52:00.680 --> 0:52:03.200 absolutely love it. But I also saw at them all 0:52:03.239 --> 0:52:06.040 they had the charging stations that were proprietary to Lucid. 0:52:06.400 --> 0:52:09.759 And so now we're getting into this world of here's 0:52:09.800 --> 0:52:12.799 the major electric car companies got. You've got Tesla, who 0:52:12.840 --> 0:52:14.520 has superchargers. 0:52:14.120 --> 0:52:15.280 You know in a lot of places. 0:52:15.760 --> 0:52:18.880 Then you've got Lucid coming up and they have their 0:52:18.880 --> 0:52:21.960 own superchargers that they're building, and I already saw them 0:52:21.960 --> 0:52:25.640 at the mall. And then you have Rivian, which they 0:52:25.640 --> 0:52:28.319 have their own chargers that they're putting at places like 0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:31.400 Adventure places, which you talked about on the show. And 0:52:31.440 --> 0:52:34.600 then you have Electrifi America and charge Point and all 0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:37.279 these other places, all these other charge companies that are 0:52:37.280 --> 0:52:40.160 building chargers that work on a variety of cars. And 0:52:40.239 --> 0:52:43.719 so where, I mean, where does it end. Are you 0:52:43.800 --> 0:52:45.960 going to go to a parking lot and have your 0:52:46.040 --> 0:52:49.200 choice of fifteen different proprietary chargers? 0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:49.840 I think not. 0:52:50.560 --> 0:52:53.200 So we're definitely going to see some consolidation in this 0:52:53.280 --> 0:52:56.600 world of proprietary chargers. I don't know how it's going 0:52:56.640 --> 0:53:00.120 to shake out, because every car company, like Apple, they 0:53:00.200 --> 0:53:02.440 learn from Apple. They're taking a queue from Apple and 0:53:02.480 --> 0:53:04.480 they're saying, ah, we saw what Apple did with their 0:53:04.880 --> 0:53:08.160 with their lightning and it worked really well as proprietary 0:53:08.200 --> 0:53:11.799 and all these accessories worked with lightning, and you know, 0:53:12.400 --> 0:53:13.839 that's what we want to do. We want to make 0:53:13.880 --> 0:53:15.880 sure we can optimize for our cars to be the 0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:20.040 best they can be. And you know, something like USBC 0:53:20.280 --> 0:53:23.279 for a car will have to eventually happen because it 0:53:23.320 --> 0:53:27.239 will just make things easier for the consumer. And USBC 0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:30.279 is a pretty good standard as well. It's just not 0:53:30.320 --> 0:53:32.759 on the iPhone, it's on every other Android, and it's 0:53:32.800 --> 0:53:35.920 it's worked pretty well for them. But I don't know, 0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:37.920 we're gonna we'll see what happens. Maybe they'll build it 0:53:37.960 --> 0:53:40.600 on top of, you know, a USBC style charger. Now 0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:44.040 when I say USBC, I mean some sort of electric standard, 0:53:44.120 --> 0:53:45.480 but it'll maybe. 0:53:45.280 --> 0:53:47.560 There'll be a separate flavor for Tesla. I don't know. 0:53:47.680 --> 0:53:50.080 Maybe Tesla will make it better, but the reality is, 0:53:50.160 --> 0:53:53.400 we just can't have fifteen different types of chargers for 0:53:53.440 --> 0:53:57.480 every electric car company that comes on comes on board 0:53:57.520 --> 0:54:00.680 with these things. But anyway, congrats Solution for making their 0:54:00.680 --> 0:54:03.040 first deliveries. We will continue to track that company and 0:54:03.040 --> 0:54:04.919 I hope I get into one of those cars soon 0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:08.520 real quick. Since I'm on the topic of electric cars, Tesla, 0:54:09.520 --> 0:54:13.040 my first software update hit my phone today. I got 0:54:13.080 --> 0:54:16.960 a message when I woke up, it said Tesla rich 0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:21.279 on Tesla, your software update is available, and when I 0:54:21.320 --> 0:54:24.000 clicked through to that, it tells me that there's a 0:54:24.040 --> 0:54:28.160 bunch of new features available in the car. The most notable, 0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:33.160 according to Electric website is they are now doing the 0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:36.360 Century mode Live Camera access. And this is so crazy 0:54:36.800 --> 0:54:39.759 because this is a feature that I imagined you would 0:54:39.840 --> 0:54:41.680 have on the Tesla and here it is. 0:54:42.400 --> 0:54:43.880 And this feature. 0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:48.640 Lets you access the cameras on your car through your 0:54:48.680 --> 0:54:51.200 phone and you can literally like you would watch your 0:54:51.239 --> 0:54:54.480 ringcam at home, or your Nest cam or your wisecam, 0:54:54.880 --> 0:54:57.120 you can now stream the cameras from your car on 0:54:57.160 --> 0:55:01.640 your phone. That is just about amazing. It is nothing 0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:06.520 short of just unbelievable. And so this is really cool. 0:55:06.560 --> 0:55:08.520 I've not installed it on my car just yet, says 0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:10.800 The update is going to take approximately twenty five minutes. 0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:12.960 During the update process, you will not be able to 0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:15.520 drive the vehicle or use the touchscreen in your car. 0:55:15.560 --> 0:55:18.600 Alarm may be disarmed for a short duration. Do you 0:55:18.600 --> 0:55:20.239 want to install it now? I'm gonna say no, because 0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:24.360 I'm gonna do that later on today. This feature requires 0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:27.440 the ten dollars a month subscription the Premium or I 0:55:27.480 --> 0:55:32.200 guess the Premium connectivity feature. Oh wait, hold on, I 0:55:32.280 --> 0:55:36.120 need to pay. It's being introduced as a new Premium 0:55:36.120 --> 0:55:40.040 connectivity feature which requires a ten Okay, so you need 0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:42.239 to have that subscription to get access to this, but 0:55:42.600 --> 0:55:46.680 apparently it's only available on iOS for now, coming to 0:55:46.719 --> 0:55:47.399 Android later. 0:55:47.440 --> 0:55:49.200 But I can't wait to check that out. I will. 0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:51.000 I am sure I will talk about it more in 0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:56.200 a future report. All right, Jody says, I'm in need 0:55:56.239 --> 0:55:58.440 of a new iMac desktop. My first one is over 0:55:58.480 --> 0:55:59.080 ten years old. 0:55:59.160 --> 0:55:59.399 Wow. 0:55:59.520 --> 0:56:01.839 I wondered if it would be worth waiting for Black 0:56:01.880 --> 0:56:04.720 Friday to order one because they don't offer education prices 0:56:04.760 --> 0:56:07.560 anymore for newer models. Any savings would be a big 0:56:07.600 --> 0:56:10.120 help because they don't usually have sales. But if they 0:56:10.160 --> 0:56:12.640 don't usually have sales, I'll just order it now. Thank 0:56:12.640 --> 0:56:14.799 you for any help you can give me. Best to 0:56:14.840 --> 0:56:18.040 you and your family, Jody, Jody, that's a testament to 0:56:18.080 --> 0:56:22.920 the quality of Apple. The fact that your iMac lasted 0:56:22.960 --> 0:56:25.640 ten years amazing. And Apple gets a hard time for 0:56:26.080 --> 0:56:31.440 high prices, but their stuff lasts forever. And I'm telling 0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:34.360 you from experience. My MacBook that my kid is using 0:56:34.480 --> 0:56:36.680 is my old MacBook. Now give an eye upgrade every 0:56:36.760 --> 0:56:39.920 couple of years. But I mean he has thrown it down, 0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:44.799 dropped it, he's on it's it's it's greasy, and the 0:56:44.840 --> 0:56:47.600 thing still runs amazing. And if you clean it up, 0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:51.160 you wipe it down, it's still a fantastic computer, at 0:56:51.280 --> 0:56:54.080 least four years later. And so the fact that you're 0:56:54.120 --> 0:56:56.720 going on ten years is awesome, and these things. 0:56:56.560 --> 0:56:57.880 Have a great resale value. 0:56:57.920 --> 0:57:02.920 But the couple things, so Number one, Apple absolutely offers 0:57:03.400 --> 0:57:07.120 education pricing on the new Imax. They start at twelve 0:57:07.160 --> 0:57:10.320 forty nine for the new iMac, and if you're purchasing 0:57:10.320 --> 0:57:13.680 that as a quote unquote regular person, it would be 0:57:13.680 --> 0:57:16.000 a little bit more expensive. So twelve forty nine for 0:57:16.040 --> 0:57:20.720 the regular iMac. Let's see how much the non education 0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:21.800 store pricing is. 0:57:22.400 --> 0:57:25.400 It would be twelve ninety nine. 0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:28.120 So it's not a huge discount fifty dollars on that 0:57:28.280 --> 0:57:31.360 lower end machine, or i should say the entry level machine. 0:57:31.360 --> 0:57:32.400 It's not low end at all. 0:57:33.600 --> 0:57:36.600 But hey, fifty bucks is fifty bucks. So a couple 0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:39.360 things you could do. Number one, Yes, do the education pricing. 0:57:39.400 --> 0:57:41.680 If you are an educator, for sure, you should always 0:57:41.760 --> 0:57:47.120 be buying Apple products with education pricing. Number Two, you 0:57:47.160 --> 0:57:49.440 can go to Costco. Sometimes they offer a little bit 0:57:49.480 --> 0:57:51.440 of an upgrade for a cheaper price. I saw the 0:57:51.440 --> 0:57:55.240 new Imax there, so check that. Number three Black Friday. 0:57:55.800 --> 0:57:59.920 Apple historically does not really go all out on Black Friday. 0:58:00.080 --> 0:58:03.160 They don't really need to, and so often you will 0:58:03.240 --> 0:58:07.120 get maybe an added bonus of they will include something 0:58:07.200 --> 0:58:09.760 like headphones with it, or they will give you a 0:58:09.800 --> 0:58:12.720 gift card towards a new computer. So I would say 0:58:13.200 --> 0:58:17.120 you've waited ten years, So Jody, if you can wait 0:58:17.200 --> 0:58:21.120 another four weeks, I think wait the four weeks, see 0:58:21.160 --> 0:58:23.040 what the deal is on Black Friday. Definitely buy it 0:58:23.040 --> 0:58:25.520 from the Education store and hopefully you'll get a one 0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:27.800 to two punch of maybe the fifty dollars off for 0:58:27.840 --> 0:58:31.040 the education pricing, and maybe another fifty to one hundred 0:58:31.080 --> 0:58:34.160 dollars gift card that they offer on Black Friday. Hopefully 0:58:34.200 --> 0:58:37.720 you'll be able to connect those as well. All right, 0:58:37.800 --> 0:58:41.760 let's get to one more question before the show ends, 0:58:42.720 --> 0:58:45.160 and this is Steve. He says, good night, Rich, love 0:58:45.160 --> 0:58:47.000 your show, never miss it. I love the joke because 0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:49.120 everyone says good morning. You must listen to the show. 0:58:49.160 --> 0:58:49.440 Thank you. 0:58:49.480 --> 0:58:52.160 Steve, he says, I'm sure the M one ship is fabulous, 0:58:52.200 --> 0:58:54.320 but I'm not willing to downsize from a twenty seven 0:58:54.320 --> 0:58:56.000 inch iMac to a twenty four Do you know if 0:58:56.000 --> 0:58:57.720 Apple's going to build a Mac with the M one 0:58:57.800 --> 0:59:01.280 and a larger screen. Steve and bo Mont, California. Steve, 0:59:01.400 --> 0:59:04.960 I would say absolutely. They have built all of their 0:59:05.080 --> 0:59:08.000 Mac computers with the M one chips. Slowly but surely 0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:11.000 they are ruling them out on all sizes and varieties, 0:59:11.040 --> 0:59:14.160 and so I think the twenty seven inch iMac will 0:59:14.200 --> 0:59:16.680 not be far behind. Maybe they were waiting to put 0:59:16.680 --> 0:59:18.919 this M one pro chip in it, and I think 0:59:18.960 --> 0:59:22.360 that's probably If I was a betting man, which I 0:59:22.400 --> 0:59:24.720 am sometimes in Las Vegas. Not in a big way, 0:59:25.160 --> 0:59:27.360 not in a problematic way, just a small way. If 0:59:27.360 --> 0:59:29.440 I was a betting man, I would say that Apple 0:59:29.520 --> 0:59:33.920 will probably probably do that for sure, all right, And 0:59:34.000 --> 0:59:35.840 with that, that's going to do it for this episode 0:59:35.920 --> 0:59:37.640 of the show. If you would like to submit a 0:59:37.720 --> 0:59:39.480 question for me to answer, go to my Facebook page, 0:59:39.520 --> 0:59:41.800 Facebook dot com slash Rich on Tech, hit the big 0:59:41.840 --> 0:59:44.200 blue send email button.
