28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: to do.

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: Well.

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: Today, I figured i'd tell you a story about technology,

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: but really it's a story about perseverance because this all

32
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: started at my work. You know, I work as a

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: TV reporter at a tech tech reporter at a TV station,

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, people come up to me all

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: the time and say, hey, Rich do you have a

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: second for a question? All the time, and of course

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: I say, yes, what do you need? And it inevitably

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: is some very complicated situation on their phone or computer

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: or iPad or at home that is not easily answered

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: in a minute or two.

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: But it's fine. I don't mind.

42
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: I love talking to people about this stuff, as I

43
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: do here on the show. So they come up they say, hey,

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: my computer. I've got this old computer. I want to

45
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: like kind of freshen it up, clean it out, and

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: make it new it again. I said, oh, that's easy.

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: We kind of computer macro pc. Oh it's a mac

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: oh super easy. We could just reformat it'll be back

49
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: up and running a couple of minutes. He's like, oh great,

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: I have it right here. Oh okay, let me have it.

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: So he brings it to my desk and I start

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: looking at this computer. It's kind of old, it's aging,

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of slow, it's got old software on it,

54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: and it's very clear that this thing just needs a

55
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: total reinstallation of the operating system. So I said, all right,

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: leave it here, can you can you leave it at

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: my desk for a couple minutes and I'll I'm doing

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: other stuff, but let me try to work on it.

59
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: Well. To connect this thing to the.

60
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: Internet at my work was very complicated because we have

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: a kind of secured Wi Fi and it's not very

62
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: easy to do that when you're trying to form out

63
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: a machine and get it up and running. It's easier

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: to have either Wi Fi at home or some sort

65
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: of Ethernet connection. Plus it's fat, you know, it's much faster.

66
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: So I start trying to do this at my work

67
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: with the work connection. It keeps failing, and so I'm like,

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: all right, let me try a hotspot. So I hook

69
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: it up to my cell phone and I hotspot it

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: connection is a little bit better, but everything I'm trying

71
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: to do is still failing. And it's trying to connect

72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: to some server. But the computer's really old and the

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: software is really old. So I feel like Apple's shut

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: down whatever server it's trying to connect to. So I

75
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: said to the guy, look, do you mind if I

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: just bring this thing home and I will figure it

77
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: out at home and I will work on it.

78
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: Oh.

79
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely, It's got a whole bag, puts all the stuff

80
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: in it, all the you know, cables and things, and

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: bring it.

82
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Bring this thing home.

83
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: So I get it home, and you know, it's one

84
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: of these days where I got home kind of early

85
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: from work. I would gonna work on it that afternoon,

86
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: so I want to go to the gym, kind of

87
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: do some.

88
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: Other stuff whatever.

89
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: I start working on this thing, and you know, I

90
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: just go down a rabbit hole of trying to figure

91
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: this thing out. Nothing is working. So I get the

92
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: good internet connection. I find a way to connect. First

93
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: thing I had to do. This thing doesn't have USBC,

94
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: so I had to like find a way to connect

95
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: my ethernet to this even though all I had was USBC.

96
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: So I had to find like an adapter, which I

97
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: ended up finding in my old you know, gadget closet whatever.

98
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: So I figured that out.

99
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: But I'm sitting here and now now time is starting

100
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: to go by, right like I'm kind of getting a

101
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: little bit annoyed at the fact that I'm spending so

102
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: much time and nothing I'm doing is working. And next

103
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: thing you know, I'm trying to get into like terminal

104
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: on this computer. I'm trying to like format things. I'm

105
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 1: trying to make a USB boot drive, all this stuff

106
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: that I've done a million times in the past, but

107
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: nothing seems to work. And I keep going and going

108
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: and going, and I'm sitting there thinking to myself, this

109
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: should be so easy. But at this point, I'm so invested.

110
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: I can't go back to this guy at my work

111
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: as the tech guy. I'd be like, oh, sorry, I

112
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: wasn't able to figure this out, Like could you imagine,

113
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Like I can't have that word spreading around KTLA or

114
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: anywhere else.

115
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: And so I am determined. So I finally, I'm not kidding.

116
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I spent three hours in the afternoon and I thought

117
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: at one point I got it up and running. I

118
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: text the guy I'm like, hey, look at this splash screen.

119
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: It was showing like the installation working. I was like, see,

120
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: all I needed was better Internet. And sure enough, right

121
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: at the end of that installation, it's like error failed.

122
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: Right at the end, ninety nine percent, that last one

123
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: percent failed. I'm like, You've got to be kidding me

124
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: right now. So I am just trying to figure out

125
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: any way to get this thing to work. And you know,

126
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: as you spend more time on something, you're getting a

127
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: little bit more like quick and hasty and like things

128
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: aren't working. And I've downloaded like all the software to

129
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: my computer. Nothing's working. I shelve it. I'm like, you

130
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: know what, I got to take a break. I gotta

131
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: take a breath. I sholve the computer. I put it

132
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: in my room. I, you know, just leave it there.

133
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: Like a week or two goes by. I see this

134
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: guy at work, He's like, hey, Ranch, any update. I'm like,

135
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: it's going, it's going, it's going, But really nothing was happening.

136
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: So finally I have a breakthrough. I'm at home and

137
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: I realized what I needed. So with the way mac

138
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: os works, you can't download a current version of the

139
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: software or an old version of the software on a

140
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: new machine, you have to use an old machine that

141
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: used to be able to run that software. And all

142
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm going through like my drawers and

143
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: I find a laptop, a Mac laptop that I forgot

144
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: I had, because I forgot I had it because the

145
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: battery is is shot so it doesn't hold a charge.

146
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: And so usually I hand my computers down to a

147
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: family member, but this one I just threw in a

148
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: drawer because I'm like, oh, I don't really know what

149
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: to do with this thing, because nobody else could use it. Well,

150
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: I plug it in, it gets up and running. I

151
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: look at the version of the software. I'm like, you've

152
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: got to be kidding me. I think this is gonna work.

153
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: And so I download this program called disk Drill, and

154
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: it's like a really easy program to help you make

155
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: these bootable drives. I download it and I'm starting to

156
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: download the software and everything is working. I'm like, You've

157
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: got to be kidding me, Like this is actually working.

158
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm sitting there smiling to myself. I am working

159
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: on a ten year old computer with another ten year

160
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: old computer next to me, with my current computer there,

161
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: so I have like a whole like factory of MacBooks

162
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: sitting in front of me, and it's working. It is working.

163
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: So I get this little drive made. And by the way,

164
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: since these computers are so old, everything that should take

165
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: five or ten minutes really takes like twenty to thirty minutes.

166
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: But finally I am getting some progress. This drive that

167
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: I need, it's like a USB drive is it's what's

168
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: called a bootable drive. So when you plug it into

169
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: the new computer, it looks at that it says, ooh,

170
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: I can use this to boot up, and I can

171
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: use this to actually install this operating system and run.

172
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: And so I get this little drive made. And by

173
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: the way, I had to have a USB drive that

174
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: was USBC on one side and USB on the other side,

175
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: and so I had that because I test stuff and

176
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: I happen to have that lane around the house. So

177
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: that was like, that was just incredible to have I

178
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: get the software on this thing.

179
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: I plug it into the computer.

180
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: Immediately the computer went from having a question mark on

181
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: the screen to an Apple logo and it was starting

182
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: to install. And I didn't even have to do anything.

183
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: It just started like it knew. It was like magical.

184
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: As soon as I plugged this piece, and it was

185
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: like out of a movie. And I'm sitting there like

186
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: high fiving myself, laughing that this is like actually a thing.

187
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: And I'm more just sitting there thinking that this is

188
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: my reputation on the line more than anything. I'm like, oh, yeah,

189
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure this out. I get the software. It installs,

190
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: the computer opens up, it turns on. It is a fresh,

191
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: clean installation of mac os High Sierra, which by the way,

192
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: came out I don't know how many years ago. But

193
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: it's on there and it's working. And I'm like, okay,

194
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: and I finally get this thing to work. I plug

195
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: it all in, I turn it on. I set up

196
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: his littleccount and it is perfect. It is pristine. His

197
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: old computer that I couldn't figure out for two weeks

198
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: finally worked. I looked back in the email that I

199
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: originally sent him, saying, oh, I think I got it.

200
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: It was sixteen days ago. This guy waited sixteen days

201
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: thinking oh, this is not going to work. Why do

202
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: I tell you this story, Well, I said it was

203
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: a story of perseverance. So you can apply this to

204
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: anything in your life, whether it is tech, whether it

205
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: is your job, whether it's sports, maybe your marriage, I

206
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: don't know. Whatever you need, just keep going. And I'm

207
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: so proud that I figured this out, something that I've

208
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: done many, many times. But more so than that, it

209
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: is exciting to have this up and running for this

210
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: person again and deliver them this computer. And man, I

211
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: feel good. I feel good. But here is the bottom line.

212
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: I say this story because people come up to me,

213
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: as you know, the person who knows about technology, thinking

214
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: I have all the answers, and you call me on

215
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: this show and you think I have all the answers.

216
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: Tech people don't have all the answers immediately. But the

217
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: difference between me and other people out there and other

218
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: tech people is that we know how to find the answers.

219
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: Like any person that is a sort of an expert

220
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: in their field, they may not have all the answers

221
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: off the top of their head, but they know where

222
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: to find that answer. If a doctor comes up against something,

223
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not comparing myself to a doctor, believe me,

224
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: but if a doctor comes up against something that is

225
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: challenging them, they will figure out. They will consult with

226
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: their colleagues and figure out a solution that they think

227
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: is best someone fixes cars, they come up against the

228
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: problem that they can't figure out. They'll consult with other people.

229
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: You probably consult with other people at your work, asking hey,

230
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: how do I solve this problem?

231
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: That is what it's all about. That is it. That

232
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 2: is the story. I feel good.

233
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited I can deliver this guy's computer back and

234
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: I learned a lesson. Not only is disc drill an

235
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: excellent program to have around, but I'm also gonna keep

236
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: a bootable USB drive for every version of Mac os

237
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: at the ready from now on.

238
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do, all right.

239
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, I hope you enjoyed that

240
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: because I really got kick. My My wife and family

241
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: were like every day when they come home, they get

242
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: a little update about this computer, Like Dad, that computer

243
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: is still sitting there in the office. I'm like, I know,

244
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out, all right. Coming up, more of

250
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,240

Speaker 2: Cam you're on with Rich.

262
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: Hi, Rich, I love you on KTLA and just wanted

263
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: to say thank you for your information all the time.

264
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: And my question is I'm looking for some resources actually

265
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: hopefully this is a quick question for someone to perform

266
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: an investigation on the dark web to find maybe some

267
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 3: uh information pertaining to somebody maybe putting information out there

268
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: that's false. And I've been doing a lot of research

269
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 3: on my own and I'm kind of limited in my

270
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: understanding of, you know, the complete realm of technology, and

271
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: was wondering if you had a resource of some investigative

272
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: either law firm or investigative company that can it would recommend,

273
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 3: that would be able to perform that type of investigation.

274
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: Well, I have one person that comes to mind that

275
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: I've interviewed actually several times for KTLA and thanks for

276
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: the kind words on that. And so I can recommend

277
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: a website that you can contact. Her name is Haley Kaplan.

278
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: What is privacy dot com? And there's dashes between, so

279
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: what dash is dash? Privacy dot com? And Hailey works

280
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: with a lot of high profile individuals for reputation management.

281
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: And you know basically what you're saying, She's not a lawyer,

282
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: and I can't really recommend a legal route to go,

283
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: but that's that's a route to go that can at least,

284
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: you know, get you in.

285
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: The right direction.

286
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: Now, when it comes to the dark Web, this is

287
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: an area of the Internet that is not necessarily traversed

288
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: by the average person, nor is it easily searchable by

289
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: the average person. But there is information on pretty much

290
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: every single one of us out there on the dark web.

291
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: And so if you are just looking to see what

292
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: is out there on you, there's a couple of resources

293
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: I can mention that you can use to scan kind

294
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: of some of these things. And believe me, when you're

295
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: talking about your personal information on the Internet, it is

296
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: a game of whack a mole. You can get this

297
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: removed and it shows up instantly a couple of days later.

298
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: I use a service called Google Results About You, which

299
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: I highly recommend. I just signed up my wife this morning,

300
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: but I highly recommend you go in here and set

301
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: this up. It is free, and it doesn't remove the

302
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: data about you from the Internet, but it removes kind

303
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: of the links on Google. So if someone's searching for

304
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: information about you, you know, your name, address, phone number,

305
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: SoC security number, whatever, that information may still be out

306
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: there on the websites, but most people are just gonna,

307
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, casually search Google for that and those links

308
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: will not show up. So that again is called Google

309
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: Results about You. If you want to sign up for it,

310
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: open up the Google app on your phone has to

311
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: be the Google app. Tap in the upper right hand corner.

312
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: You'll see a little icon and then you'll see something

313
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: that says Results about You. And so to sign up,

314
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: you basically have to give Google your information, your name,

315
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: your address, your phone number, your email and then they

316
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: go out on the web and they scan the web

317
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: for that information and as they find it, they will

318
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: send you a notification that says, hey, do you want

319
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: us to take this off of our Google Search results?

320
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: And they're not going to take everything down, but they

321
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: will take down a lot. I mean I had three

322
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: taken down just yesterday, So that's one way to do it.

323
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: Another website that's really handy is called have I Been Pooned?

324
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: And it's not spelled the way you think it's h

325
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: a ve I beIN pwned and it looks like pawned,

326
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: but it's pned dot com. Have I Beenpooned?

327
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: Dot com?

328
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: And I'll link this up on my website rich on

329
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: tech dot tv, and you can put your email address

330
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: in there and it will tell you if your email

331
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: address is in one of these breaches, and if it is,

332
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: that means that the password associated with that email address

333
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: is out there on the web as well. So don't

334
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: reuse your passwords please. When it comes to scanning your

335
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: information on the dark web, a lot of these services

336
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: are paid. Experience has a dark Web scanning option you

337
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: can pay for that. It says you can start for free.

338
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: I have not use that one personally, so I can't

339
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: vouch for it. Norton also has some dark web monitoring Mozilla.

340
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they monitor the dark web, but they

341
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: do monitor for data breaches. It's called Mozilla Monitor and

342
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: you can get a first scan for free. I think

343
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: we talked about it on the show last week. And

344
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: then there is another option through Google One if you

345
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: have Google One, So if you pay for any subscription

346
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: service on Google, you have a membership to Google One

347
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: and they will scan your information on the dark Web.

348
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: So it's kind of it's similar to that results about

349
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: you that I talked about that's available to everyone, but

350
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: this takes it a little deeper into the dark web

351
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: and you will get those alerts and you'll be surprised

352
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: that your social your data, birth, your address, all that

353
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: stuff is really out there on the dark web where

354
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: people are selling, buying, trading this stuff on a daily basis.

355
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild when you start going down these roads.

356
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: It's not easy to get this stuff off the Internet,

357
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: and it's probably never going to be completely off. But

358
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: that is what I recommend for some of the free

359
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: resources and paid resources out there. Good question, just something

360
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: you got to keep on top of all. Right, coming

361
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: up on the show, people are already returning their Apple

362
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: Vision pro why we'll find out plus more.

369
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: If you need a link to something I mentioned, I

370
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: just mentioned a whole bunch of dark web monitoring services.

371
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: You can get the links for those there, and you

372
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: can follow me on social media. I am at rich

373
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: on Tech. Well, the fourteen day return window for early

374
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: adopt of Apple's Vision Pro headset is up, and a

375
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: lot of people took to social media saying they are

376
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: returning the product.

377
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 2: Why.

378
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: They say it feels too isolating when you're wearing it,

379
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: it's too heavy and uncomfortable, and they haven't found a

380
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: daily use case for it. A lot of people say

381
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: maybe they'll buy the next version when it's a little

382
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: bit more refined, it's lighter, it's cheaper. This is a

383
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred dollars device. Add it up with tax

384
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: and accessories. You're talking four grand for something that you

385
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: can only use by yourself. And there's not really a

386
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: ton of use case scenarios for this just yet. Now,

387
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people probably just bought this to check

388
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: it out, you know, make some content with it, knowing

389
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: they'd return it. But it's kind of wild because I've

390
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: not seen this sort of reaction with an Apple product

391
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: in a very long time. In fact, I don't know

392
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: if I could ever remember an Apple product that people

393
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: were excited about. And in my lifetime, I've seen you know,

394
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: the iPhone, the Apple Watch, the iPad, you know, very computers.

395
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: This is kind of like, we don't know if this

396
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: is going to be a hit or a miss just yet.

397
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: But supposedly they sold under two hundred thousand of these things.

398
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: But the good news is once Apple gets these things

399
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: back in the in the back stock room, they'll refurbish

400
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: them and you'll be able to buy it at a discount.

401
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: Now I'm curious to see.

402
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't think Apple will do this, but it'd be

403
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: interesting to see if they discount this thing and make

404
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: it a lesser price that even I was trying to think,

405
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: like how much would it take for me to buy

406
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: this thing? Even at fifteen hundred bucks, I don't know,

407
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: it still feels too expensive. You've got the Mediquest three,

408
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: which is five hundred bucks, and Mark Zuckerberg in a

409
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: very rare It's rare that you see a tech CEO

410
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: do a review of a competitor's product, but that's exactly

411
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: what Mark Zuckerberg did this week. He tried out the

412
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: Vision Pro. He said it was underwhelming compared to his product,

413
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: the Mediquest three. Now that makes sense, of course he's

414
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: going to say that, but he says it has The

415
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: Mediquest three has a wider field of view, it's lighter,

416
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: it's more comfortable, it supports Xbox games, which the Vision

417
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: Pro does not, and he thinks that overall, the Quest

418
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: three is a better device. I think he said something

419
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: like period it is the best. He likes the Vision

420
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: pros eye tracking, he gave it that, but he said

421
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: they also had that in their Quest Pro and they're

422
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: going to bring it back. He also said the Quest

423
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: three has a better immersive content library currently, and he

424
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: said the Quest three is seven times less. So it's

425
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: hard to argue with Mark Zuckerberg. But you also have

426
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: to remember keep in mind for perspective that Apple is

427
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: the company that probably took about twenty billion dollars away

428
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: from the bottom line of Facebook when they changed the

429
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: way that the iPhone works with the advertising. Facebook was

430
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: no longer able to track people across the iPhone's apps

431
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: and services and web browser, and so that took a

432
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: lot of money away from Facebook. And so you have

433
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: to remember, these are not These guys are frenemies, right

434
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg. Most of the time, if you look at

435
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: the phone he's using in a reflection in a mirror

436
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: or window, it is not an iPhone because he you know,

437
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: he knows a lot of people are using iPhones that

438
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: he is his customers. I guess you can call them,

439
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: you know, Facebook, Instagram users, but he also knows that

440
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: he'd probably rather have them using a Android. Let's go

441
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: to Stephen in Bakersfield. Steven, you're on with Rich.

442
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: Hey, Hey Dan, Rich, thanks for making the call.

443
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: Doing great. What's up?

444
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 4: My wife and I are going to be doing a

445
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 4: pilgrimage walk the Camino Ignaciano in Spain coming up in May.

446
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 4: It's about three hundred miles of a hike. Oh wow,

447
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 4: and man Resa, Yeah, it's there are some other the Saniago,

448
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 4: some other stuff.

449
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: Okay, that sounds that sounds like a lot.

450
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: It is.

451
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 4: It's going to be a hoot. I'm a bit of

452
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 4: an oldish guy. I'm going to be sixty. I have

453
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 4: lived in the Apple world, and for the hike itself,

454
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 4: I don't know that I want to hump my iPhone

455
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 4: all over the place. I don't have an Apple Watch,

456
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 4: I don't have comp you know, communication, that kind of thing.

457
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 5: I'm interested in.

458
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 4: Your thoughts on what would maybe be a better product

459
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 4: than the iPhone, Maybe an Apple Watch for text and

460
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: things like that for communication, and also maybe some software.

461
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 4: I know that a bunch of years ago there was

462
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 4: What's app and some other stuff, But just wanted to

463
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 4: pick your brain on both hardware and software for when

464
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: we do this walk.

465
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: So what's your main goal is to stay connected without

466
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: a lot of like looking at screens or what's your

467
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: goal when you're walking?

468
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 4: My goal is to stay connected with family back here

469
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 4: in the States, and without having to have even that

470
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: iPhone in my hand all the time, to kind of

471
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 4: be a little bit more hands free, and to yeah,

472
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: not have a huge screen. We will have opportunity in

473
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: the eve means to dial it down and have access

474
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 4: to that, but during most of the day, I'd like

475
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: to have communication, you know, maybe text.

476
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 6: Things like that.

477
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think an Apple Watch is probably

478
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: the easiest solution, since you can glance at it and

479
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: you'll get some metrics that are kind of nice. I

480
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: don't think that you can leave this thing on GPS

481
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: all day, because it will it will run out of

482
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: battery if you do that pretty quickly. But I think

483
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: that that's probably the easiest way to kind of monitor

484
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: things in as people are texting you, you could see those

485
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: come in.

486
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: Is this an area that has cellular connectivity or no?

487
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 4: I'm assuming it does the east or the west slope

488
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 4: of the Pyrenees Mountains in a Basque region from up

489
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: in the north around Loyola down almost to Barcelona. Okay,

490
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 4: all right, I think it's that pretty good reception.

491
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to see if the emergency SOS feature,

492
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: which which iPhone do you have?

493
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: I have a fourteen pro right now?

494
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so fourteen Pro does have the emergency SOS.

495
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: Do you anticipate needing that service at all? Like? Are

496
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: you off the grid that much? Is this like a

497
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: you're with a group of people, right, We're going to.

498
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 4: Be doing it with a couple of people, and so

499
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 4: we're not completely off the grid. And I think we're

500
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 4: going to be going through the places where I short

501
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: answer is, I think we're gonna be on the grid.

502
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 4: I don't think that's a problem.

503
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: Okay.

504
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: Well, the good news is if there was any sort

505
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: of time when you need it to you know, if

506
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: they're not a cellular connection, emergency SOS is available in Spain,

507
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: so that's really nice. So make sure that you have

508
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: your phone updated to the latest operating system and the

509
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: iPhone fourteen Pro and the iPhone fifteen models they both

510
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: have the emergency SOS via satellite.

511
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: Are you familiar with that feature? That's a little about Okay,

512
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: So I.

513
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 4: Have kids that continue that help for me.

514
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Basically, if your phone does not have a cellular or

515
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: Wi Fi signal, you will see a little satellite signal

516
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: in the upper right hand corner, and that means as

517
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: long as you have a clear view of the sky,

518
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: you will be able to send for emergency help. You'll

519
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: be able to text effectively text an emergency response person

520
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: and say you know, hey, we need this or we

521
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: need that, or send your location or anything like that.

522
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: So that'll be nice.

523
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: But wou I would recommend I know this is kind

524
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: of expensive, but I think you know, maybe treat yourself

525
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: of as a as a reward for doing this with

526
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch Ultra, because the battery is going to

527
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: last a really long time. The screen is nice and big,

528
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: it's got a nice extra button on there which you

529
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: can program to do a whole bunch of things. And

530
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a whole bunch of tracking features.

531
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: It's got better GPS than the standard Apple Watches, and

532
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: so I think that's gonna be nice to keep in

533
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: touch with friends and family back home. And then you

534
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: kind of have to decide if you want to get

535
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: a do you have roamings?

536
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 2: What's your cellular plan?

537
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 6: Right now?

538
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 4: I'm kind of at the top end with stuff, and

539
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 4: so I have roaming and everything else is connected to

540
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 4: a business, so I have I have all the cellular

541
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: data and unlimited everything you can think of.

542
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 6: At least in the States.

543
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna say, okay.

544
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, as far as connectivity someplace, FILF. I don't

545
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: know if your suggestion would be some kind of an

546
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: international plan at least temporarily, or like I said, I

547
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 4: think a thousand years ago when we went to Italy

548
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 4: once we did what's app and communication. So I don't

549
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 4: know what the best ways to go on.

550
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think, you know, these days, you

551
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: don't even really need WhatsApp anymore. If you're you know,

552
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: if you're texting you what I would recommend is turning

553
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: on what's called Wi Fi calling and texting, And so

554
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: before you leave the States, turn that on your phone.

555
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: If you're going to number one, I call your carrier

556
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: ask if you have any sort of roaming included with

557
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: your plan. So for instance, the plan that I'm on,

558
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: I get a day of roaming free. I think I

559
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: get like four months. So when I log into my account,

560
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: it tells me you have fourteen days of roaming for free.

561
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: And so when I go on a trip international trip

562
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: for you know, three four days, most of the time

563
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: I'm covered. So I would call your company and or

564
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: your carrier and ask them what you've got. The other

565
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: thing I would recommend is a company named Aralo Ai

566
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: r Alo and this is a this is a company

567
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: where you can buy an e SIM for your phone,

568
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: and that is basically a temporary cell phone plan that

569
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: works internationally, and it's very inexpensive. And that's something you

570
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: can install on your phone. If you don't have roaming,

571
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: you install it on your phone, and then when you

572
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: get to the you know, before you take off, you

573
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 1: will turn off your your connection with whatever company you have,

574
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: whether it's AT and TV, Verizon, T Mobile, whatever, and

575
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: then when you get to the country, you turn on

576
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: this other connection to this secondary ara lo sim It

577
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: sounds a little complicated, but I'll be honest. My mom

578
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: went to Germany. We did this all over the phone.

579
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: She figured it out and she had great connection the

580
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: whole time, and all of her friends that she was

581
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: with were like, how do you have a connection and

582
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't. She's like, well, my son's the tech guy,

583
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: so I mean, of course I figured it out with him,

584
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: and everyone was like cracking up. But I think you'll

585
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: be able to text I personally if you you know.

586
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: When I go overseas, I use something called Telegram, And

587
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: what I like about Telegram is that it works no

588
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: matter what connection I have, whether I have Internet, whether

589
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: I have Wi Fi, whether I have cellular, whether the

590
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: person on the other end is on an iPhone or

591
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: an Android. So I really like that program. WhatsApp is

592
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: also very good. It just depends. It's like a matter

593
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: of preference. So if you have if you want to

594
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: log in with that. You can also use Facebook Messa

595
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: if you have that installed, but it really comes down

596
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: to what the people on the other end have. So

597
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: those are the things that I'd recommend, uh, Steven, But

598
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like an epic trick.

599
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna have a great time.

600
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: It's very much easier to stay connected internationally than it

601
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,800

00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: Videos can be up.

616
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: To a minute long and they really have impressive detail, lighting, texture,

617
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: shot composition. It looks like something Pixar made. It looks

618
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: like something a film a director would make. I mean,

619
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: it's really quite impressive. They showed a bunch of different videos.

620
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: I highly recommend you to take a look at these things.

621
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: Snow one of them was a couple walking through a

622
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: snowy Tokyo landscape. That was awesome. Let's see what else

623
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: did they have. They had a little monster next to

624
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: a candle. Looked like something Pixar would make. And let's

625
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: see what was the other one? A virtual zoo tour.

626
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: I saw a like a car driving through a city,

627
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: but they had they changed it into like twenty five

628
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: different ways. It's really quite impressive. So what is the

629
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: deal with this? Can you get your hands on it? No,

630
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: this is right now. Just research that they are showing

631
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: off and it is very very impressive. So if you

632
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: have a chance, I'll put it. I'll put the link

633
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: on the website rich on tech dot tv in the

634
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: show notes. But it's OpenAI dot com slash sora s

635
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: O r A. And when you see the video that

636
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: this is generating, you will realize that everything is going

637
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: to change once again. Just like chat GBT changed AI

638
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: for the average person, this is now going to change

639
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: video forever. You've heard of deep fakes, you've heard of

640
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: AI generated text and images. This is video and it

641
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: looks incredibly realistic. Now, the one thing that they're not

642
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: saying is how long it takes to generate these videos.

643
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: They're up to a minute long. And I saw one

644
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: person describe it as it takes maybe the time it

645
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: would take to get a burrito, not you know.

646
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

647
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: I forgot what the other thing was. But anyway, it's

648
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: it's long, but it's not that long. And of course

649
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: this will only get better. But the fact that you

650
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: can now type in something like this person says a

651
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: young man in his twenties sitting on a piece of

652
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: cloud in the sky reading a book, And yeah, that's

653
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: what it looks like.

654
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: This was an.

655
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: Animated scene featuring a close up of a short, fluffy

656
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: monster kneeling beside a melting red candle. The art style

657
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: is three D and realistic, with a focus on lighting

658
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: and texture. Now, one of the videos I saw was

659
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: a it was a person in bed. It's not always right.

660
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: They do show some examples of where it gets things

661
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: really wrong. And you know you've seen those AI photos

662
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: where like the hand is off or the teeth are off.

663
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: They show some videos where things are off and it's creepy.

664
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: It's like we are I'm not kidding. We are heading

665
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: into a really weird time. Open Ai, Sora sr. Let's

666
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: go to Mark in San Diego. Mark, you're on with Rich?

667
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey Rich, uh, great show.

668
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: Thanks.

669
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 6: I am having trouble getting to my email after I

670
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 6: after I did an update on my Windows seven. It's

671
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 6: an old Windows seven operating system on a on a PC,

672
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 6: a desktop, okay, And so I go to open it

673
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 6: and all I get is just a you know, the

674
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 6: outlook little letter. It just keeps cycling, looks like it's

675
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 6: going to open, open, open, open, It just never does.

676
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 6: Now I can get to my emails on my phone,

677
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 6: but I can't get to it on my my desktop.

678
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think what you need to do is

679
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: reset your Outlook. It sounds like something got a little

680
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: a little messed up in there, So can you I'm

681
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: trying to think of the way the best way to

682
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: do this. Can you get into a like your settings

683
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: on that computer? Like do you get any sort of

684
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: menu at all on Outlook or does it just kind

685
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: of just spinny kind of thing the whole time?

686
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 6: Well it comes up, I can probably get to the

687
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 6: three dots in the upper right course.

688
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so if you can get to the three

689
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: dots in the upper right hand corner, I would look

690
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: for an option to reset outlook. It might be under

691
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: something like Advanced Options. But that's kind of like what

692
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: you need to do. It sounds like this thing got

693
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: stalled or something got corrupted during the What did you

694
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: upgrade to?

695
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: Is it like it was just.

696
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 6: The latest before the end of the support from Windows seven?

697
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 6: It was it was like at the very end of December, okay,

698
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 6: before the first of January twenty twenty four, they had

699
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 6: one apparently one last update that I did, and it

700
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 6: was it was legit. I always check to make sure

701
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 6: that it's directly from Microsoft, and it just it updated.

702
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 6: And then it seems like right after that I had

703
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 6: the problem and again I can get to it on

704
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 6: my phone.

705
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So your email is fine.

706
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: It just sounds like you've got It's just it sounds

707
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: like something got a little bit a little bit messed

708
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: up in transit there. So in your email, what type

709
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: of email do you use? Like, is it a Gmail

710
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: or it's.

711
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 6: A hot mail it's an old hotmail account.

712
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's probably hopefully if you can see them

713
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: on your phone, then your emails are safe. I don't think,

714
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: because there could be you know, if you reset this

715
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: app and something, you know, the emails get deleted or

716
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: everything gets deleted.

717
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: There could be a world where those emails are gone.

718
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: But it sounds like this is if you're if you're

719
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: accessing these on the web, then it's probably not downloading

720
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: the emails to your computer. They're just it's just looking

721
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: at it through IMAP.

722
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: So I yeah, quick question, just quick question.

723
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,479
Speaker 6: Now if I have too many emails on that, because

724
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 6: I've got quite a few, I don't know, like a lot,

725
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 6: But would would that be a problem.

726
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: I don't think. I mean, well, it depends or your emails.

727
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: Sending and receiving they are on my phone, okay, then

728
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: then there's no problem with like your storage. I would

729
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: check your storage limit on UH on hotmail in general?

730
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: Do you go to outlook dot com.

731
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: To check that?

732
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 6: I did not, because I just don't know how to

733
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 6: do it, but I can probably figure it out.

734
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: Well, how do you check your email? Do you check

735
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: it by going to hotmail dot com or Outlook dot com?

736
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 6: Outlook on my on my cell phone.

737
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, So I would go on oh, the Outlook app. Yeah, okay,

738
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: so I would. I would go from a What I

739
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: would is go on your desktop computer, go to go

740
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: to outlook dot com sign in check to make sure

741
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: your storage is okay. I don't think that's what's happening

742
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: here because your phone is working. But I would go

743
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: and reset the Outlook app on Windows. So go into

744
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: the menu, look for something that says to reset. Might

745
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: be under like Advanced Options or something like that, but

746
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: it sounds like there's something that's a little corrupt there.

747
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: But that's what I would do, And once you get

748
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: that done, you should be able to I'd say, to

749
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: uninstall the whole app and reinstall it.

750
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 2: That might be your best case scenario.

751
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure that you can do that on

752
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: a Windows PC because Outlook is part of the system.

753
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: But if you can do that, if all us fails,

754
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: you can try to uninstall it and reinstall it there.

755
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: So thanks for the call, mark and hopefully you get

756
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: that figured out. Coming up coming up on the show

757

00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: some fun stuff. If you live in the LA area

778
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: or maybe any state that had these, do you remember something

779
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: called Thomas Guides. These were like maps that you would

780
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: this was before Google Maps, and you would flip through

781
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: these pages to find things on these maps. And so

782
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: I posted I was going through my phone and I

783
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: forgot that I recorded this video and it was basically

784
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: someone was showing me these Google maps, sorry, these Thomas

785
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: Guide maps that I remember, but I forgot about and

786
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: so I guess a lot of people forgot about them

787
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: or remembered them. So that's kind of, you know, going

788
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: a little bit viral, which is surprising because it's just

789
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: so silly. Then I was down in Baldwin Park, California,

790
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: site of the first In and Out Burger. If you

791
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: don't live in California, you know In and Out Burger

792
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: is a huge part of California and probably maybe like

793
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: the West Coast, but especially LA. It's a quality food

794
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: at a great price, and the people are always friendly,

795
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: and it's clean and it's nice. And so I was

796
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: in Baldwin Park for a story and they have like

797
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: a little museum of the original In and Out Burger

798
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: and it was so cool. So I stopped and I

799
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: recorded some video and I posted that to my Instagram.

800
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: And then oh, I did a story on this VO

801
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: flight training. So they're now using virtual reality to train

802
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: helicopter pilots and so instead of this giant expensive flight simulator,

803
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: they use VR, which is more realistic, it's cheaper. And

804
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: I got into this thing and I was actually I

805
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: will be honest. I was actually a little bit apprehensive.

806
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,479
Speaker 1: I said to the guy before we started it, I said,

807
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: look if this gets too realistic, because they started me

808
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: out on a helicopter on top of a building in

809
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: downtown LA, and I was gonna fly off the building.

810
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: And I was like, if this gets too realistic, can

811
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: I just like rip this headset off. He's like, yeah,

812
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: you'll be fine. It really was realistic. And then last night,

813
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: I guess there's a lot of burgers this week, we

814
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: went to something called Burger King whopper World. This was

815
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: like a pop up. I don't know these companies do

816
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: this stuff, but it's just you know, it's like a promotion.

817
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: I guess Burger King's doing some sort of promotion where

818
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: you build your own whopper and then someone's gonna win

819
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: like a million dollars. And so last night they had

820
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: like a little party. We went to it with the kids.

821
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. We ate a whopper

822
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: and it was great. You could put some random toppings

823
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: on it. But they had one thing that was cool.

824
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: They had this like tablet where you can type in

825
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: the toppings for your whopper, which could be anything you wanted,

826
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: and they were using AI to generate an image of

827
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: the Whopper with those toppings. So if you put like

828
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: gummy bears or sprinkles or chocolate chip cookies, it would

829
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: make an image of the Whopper with that. And then

830
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: they printed it out on a T shirt. And so

831
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: I almost wore my my Burger King T shirt today,

832
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna This is in Santa Monica at the Pier,

833
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: so it's happening this weekend in Los Angeles. Anyway, Google

834
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: Maps or sorry, Google Photos, is getting a new feature.

835
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: It showed up on my phone last night, which means

836
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: it may show up on your phone any day now.

837
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: Google Photos, of course, is my favorite photo app, and

838
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: they now have a feature called stacks. This is something

839
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: I have been waiting for forever because I take a

840
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: bunch of pictures. So if someone says, hey, take you know,

841
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: a picture or whatever, I'm taking pictures of the kids.

842
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: I just snapped that picture like a thousand times, because

843
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, the storage is cheap and you want to

844
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: make sure you get the shot. But the problem is

845
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: when you go through your your photos, there's like so

846
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: many in a row, and it becomes very stressful because

847
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to pick out the best one, because

848
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: you've got to zoom into everyone's face, make sure it

849
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: looks all. You know, which one they're smiling, which one

850
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: their eyes are open. And so now photo stacks will

851
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: group similar photos taken together and it will put the

852
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: best one at the top and it will pick It'll

853
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: say the best pick or something like that. And so

854
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: you can, of course see all the other photos. But

855
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 1: if you're scrolling through your pictures, instead of seeing seventy

856
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: photos or fifteen photos, you'll see one photo. It'll have

857
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: a little icon that looks like a photo stack, and

858
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: it'll pick the best one, put that on the top,

859
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: and then you can tap in and see all.

860
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 2: The other photos if you want to choose a different one.

861
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: Anyway, it's rolling out now iOS and Android, Google Photos

862
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: photo stacks, So now when you see it on your phone,

863
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: you will be.

864
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: Prepped for it.

865
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: Let's let's go to Victor in Santa Barbara, one of

866
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: the most beautiful places in California.

867
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 7: Victory, you're on with right, Rich, Thanks for taking my call?

868
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 7: Yeah quickly, so look we're our email comes through earthlink

869
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:03,959
Speaker 7: dot net.

870
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just met the guy who started Earthlink sky Dayton.

871
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 2: He was in.

872
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: I literally I said to him, I said, dude, the

873
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: guy looked like he was young. I said, how old

874
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: are you a kid when you started this? He's like yeah,

875
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: he's like twenty something. So I mean, anyway, the guy,

876
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: he's he's a pilot. He did the VR. He's one

877
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: of the investors in that VR stuff. Anyway, I remember

878
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Earthlink when he started it. But go ahead, I'm glad.

879
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 7: So anyways, Windows ten Mail, we configured it so we're

880
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 7: getting Earthlink emails through Windows ten Mail. Everything's working out great,

881
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 7: and we're happy. Microsoft is starting to most what's the

882
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 7: right word they're rattling sabers. Yeah, got to shut down

883
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 7: Windows ten mail. A couple of questions that we have

884
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 7: never downloaded Outlook. We've never really needed it. So now

885
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 7: we're going to have to Outlook to get Windows in

886
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 7: email Earthlink dot Net on Outlook. Is that going to work?

887
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 5: You know?

888
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will work.

889
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: So what you're talking about is, you know, so Microsoft

890
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: used to have what's called the mail app inside Windows

891
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: and now they're transitioning everyone over to Outlook. And that's

892
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's more of a branded program. It's it's

893
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: kind of streamlined things, makes it easier because all they

894
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: have to do is make one program instead of two,

895
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: so you don't have to switch just yet. It's going

896
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: to happen sometime in twenty twenty four towards the end,

897
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: so there will probably be an option for people to

898
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: upgrade early to Outlook if you want to, you know,

899
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: do it early. You can download it and install it

900
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: and get it all going. But they're not going to

901
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: force people to do it until towards the end of

902
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: the year, so you still have time. But yes, Outlook,

903
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: I know. It's the thing that's confusing about Outlook is

904
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 1: that it's a program, but it's also kind of an

905
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: email in itself. People have Outlook for work, they have

906
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: Microsoft Email, and they think that it's only for Microsoft email,

907
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: But the Outlook program will check email from a variety

908
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: of email providers, whether that's Google, Gmail, whether that's Yahoo,

909
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: whether it is Earthlink, whether it is your work email,

910
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Outlook is just an email program that

911
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: can handle different email addresses, and so no matter what

912
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: email address you have, you will be able to use

913
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: it on Outlook within reason. Obviously, there may be some

914
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: that are not supported, but if you're on Outlook, you

915
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: could just go into your file and it will say

916
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: account information and it will say add account, and so

917
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: you will just add your account by email address. If

918
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: it recognizes that Earthlink settings, it will automatically do it

919
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: all for you. You just put in your username and your

920
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: password and it will figure everything else out. If it

921
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: can't figure those out, then just google Earthlink email settings,

922
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: server settings and it will give you the options of

923
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: how to type that in and format it. I would

924
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 1: use imap over pop three and in general it should

925
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: automatically figure this stuff out. And this goes by the

926
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: way for a lot of email apps, whether using Gmail,

927
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: you can check other email services on these apps. They

928
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: are an all in one app. It's really confusing because

929
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: people know Outlook as email and a program, but it

930
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: does check other email addresses as well, so no problems there.

931
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: Victor and Santa Barbara, thanks for the call today. Do

932
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Phone number is eighty to eight rich one

933
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

934
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: zero one.

935
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 4: Uh.

936
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: Speaking of the iPhone, there is a new malware going

937
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: around for the iPhone called gold PICKACS, and apparently this

938
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: steals your photos, your text messages. It even tries to

939
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: get your banking info. The good news is this is

940
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: not completely widespread right now. This is mostly happening to

941
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: folks in Vietnam and Thailand, but of course because this

942
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: is now out in the wild, that could change. We

943
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: could see it here in the States. The main thing

944
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: is that this is not going to happen to you

945
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: if you are using your phone as the average person.

946
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 2: So the way that they install.

947
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: This is through an MDM profile, and you may get

948
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: this for work. It's a MDM stands for Mobile Device Management.

949
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: This is kind of like a if your work wants

950
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: to monitor your phone or have certain restrictions on it,

951
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: they would download this profile to your phone. But that's

952
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: for very specific use cases, you know, so if your

953
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: company requires that, talk to your IT folks. But if

954
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: you're doing this on your own or you're downloading an

955
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: app outside the app store, your phone is jailbroken. That's

956
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: when you are at risk. So if you're just using

957
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: your iPhone the way that you typically use it, which

958
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: is turning it on, taking pictures, downloading apps from the

959
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: app store, you're going to be okay. But we still

960
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: need to understand that this is possible on the iPhone

961
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: at this point, it's possible on the Android. Does it

962
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: happened very often?

963
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 3: No.

964
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: This is why Apple has fought really hard to keep

965
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: the app store and this closed ecosystem because they want

966
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 1: to keep this safe. And yes, we've heard of tools

967
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: that can crack into the iPhone, we've heard of exploits

968
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: that can take advantage of text messages, but most of

969
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: the time, average people are pretty safe when using an iPhone,

970
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: even on Android, very very safe, and in fact, Android

971
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: added a feature called Android Safe Browsing that you can

972
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: actually turn this on. They added something called Live Threat

973
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: Detection and it's an upgrade. I didn't even know this

974
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: was available, so I looked at my phone into the

975
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: settings and sure enough, it's there. So this is what

976
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: Google is doing to try to keep you safe from

977
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: some of those links you get and text messages, the

978
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: phishing links, and all of these different ways people are

979
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: trying to attack us at this point, malware and phishing links.

980
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: So if you want to check this out, go into

981
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: your settings on your iPhone, Settings and Privacy, more Security,

982
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: and then look under androids Safe Browsing and there's something

983
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: called Live Threat Protection. You can turn that on for

984
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: an extra layer of security on your Android. Of course,

985
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: I'll link it up on the website. Richon Tech dot

Speaker 1: get to your calls in just a second.

995
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 8: Here.

996
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, we've got Bob O'Donnell, president

997
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: and founder at TECHnalysis Research. He's going to talk about

998
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: aipcs and explain what they are all about. New Windows

999
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: computers even have an AI key on them. But first

1000
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: Samsung has said yes, we are going to fix some

1001
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: of the issues on the S twenty four series. Now

1002
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: my review, I said that the S twenty four Samsung

1003
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 1: Galaxy S twenty four Ultra is nearly perfect. This thing

1004
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: is incredible, but I did notice some issues with the camera,

1005
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: especially in low light and moving shots, and you know

1006
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of lag here and there. And this

1007
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: is odd for Samsung to come out and say, yes,

1008
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: we're doing a software update, but I think there was

1009
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: enough feedback that they feel it is necessary to do that.

1010
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: So two things they talked about this week that they're

1011
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: going to address. Number one is a vividness setting. Some

1012
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 1: people were saying that the screen on the S twenty

1013
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: four Ultra is not as vivid as the S twenty

1014
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: three or previous models. I disagree with that. I think

1015
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: the screen is absolutely incredible. I don't know why people

1016
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: are saying that. Maybe they I don't know, but they

1017
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: are going to have a new adjustment for vividness. And

1018
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: then the camera, they said they're going to upgrade the zoom,

1019
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: the portrait mode, low light photography, and video. That's pretty

1020
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: much the whole camera. So I said that this thing

1021
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: needed a camera update. I think that this is an

1022
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: incredible device and it's one that I was using for weeks.

1023
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: I did end up switching back to wait for this

1024
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: software update, but it is. It is still one of

1025
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: my favorite devices of twenty twenty four. So anyway, if

1026
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: you bought an S twenty four Ultra and you're thinking, huh,

1027
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: I thought my camera was better going to be better

1028
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: than this? It will get better software update is a

1029
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: schedule to start rolling out on February twenty second, but

1030
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: with Samsung those things take a.

1031
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 2: Bit, so you may not get it on that day.

1032
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: So I would just look for it, you know, end

1033
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: of February March something like that.

1034
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark in Woodland Hills. Mark your own

1035
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 2: with Rich.

1036
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 5: Hi.

1037
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 3: Rich.

1038
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 5: I'm you know, I like to I'm retired, guys. I

1039
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 5: get to read a lot I love compared to religion, history,

1040
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 5: political science stuff by a bit of an autodi deck.

1041
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 5: So often I'll pick a lot of different things. I'll

1042
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 5: pull the icon down to my desktop so that I

1043
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 5: can view it later, you know.

1044
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: You know I had to look up autodidact by the way.

1045
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 5: Wow, I'm just I'm just into research and just information

1046
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 5: for its own sake.

1047
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to define it for in case, you know,

1048
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: some people don't know. But it's a self taught person.

1049
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: Did you know that, Bobo? Yeah, see Bobo shaking and

1050
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,919
Speaker 1: said I didn't know that. Okay, keep going.

1051
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 5: That's what you get for going to college. You never

1052
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 5: want to stop. But what I do is I've been

1053
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 5: pulling these icons off of a website, you know, pulling

1054
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 5: it down near the the address bar, that little symbol,

1055
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 5: and then I'll click it later and I'll go through

1056
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 5: whatever information they have for me and and then move on. Unfortunately,

1057
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 5: for months now, almost a year, I've tried to delete

1058
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 5: two of these icons and they just won't leave. And

1059
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 5: I don't want, you know, I have so many nuanced

1060
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 5: information and whatnot on my computer. The last thing I

1061
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 5: want to do is a factory reset. Right, yeah, so

1062
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 5: these to Twitter. I'm not even a I'm not a twitiot,

1063
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 5: but I but I do occasionally find myself going to

1064
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 5: something there that's preferred. So these two Twitter icons will

1065
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 5: not delete. I've tried everything. It just won't come off,

1066
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,479
Speaker 5: you know, sort of doing a reset, which I really

1067
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 5: would loath they have to do. I was hoping you

1068
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 5: could give me a suggestion on that.

1069
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So just to understand, so you've dragged these these

1070
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: URL links to your taskbar. Is this on Windows?

1071
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 5: No, it's to the desktop itself. I keep almost everything

1072
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 5: on the desktop, okay, yeah, I'm doing folders and files

1073
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 5: and stuff like that.

1074
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: And so you drag these to the desktop and you

1075
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: can't just right click and say delete.

1076
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 5: No, sir, they will not leave.

1077
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, Yeah, it's just the.

1078
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 5: Most bizarre thing I've ever seen. You know, I've got

1079
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 5: to go through thousands of these every year.

1080
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean literally, what if you drag them to the

1081
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: to the trash.

1082
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 2: That doesn't work?

1083
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 5: They know, sir, it won't. It won't either, you know,

1084
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 5: the rubbish span I call it. It basically will not.

1085
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 5: You can drag it, but it won't do a bloody thing,

1086
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 5: or just sit there and it reac no way whatsoever.

1087
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: Well, I am sure there is some way to get

1088
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: rid of these. Those are the two methods that I know.

1089
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: The only other thing I can think of are these

1090
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: with your web browser? Like these are from your web

1091
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: browser that you're.

1092
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,959
Speaker 5: Using, Yes, Firefox, almost exasively. I have a whole bunch

1093
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 5: of browsers actually down below the Brave you know, Tusk

1094
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 5: and stuff like that. But I just an opera for instance.

1095
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 5: But most of the time I'm using Firefox.

1096
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's probably I'm looking at a I'm looking

1097
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: at a website that says there is some sort of

1098
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: folder that we'll have this in there, Like are using

1099
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: Windows eleven.

1100
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 5: I believe I am.

1101
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: You know, well, so this is saying and this is

1102
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: just a quick you know shortcut, kind of shortcut keeps reappearing,

1103
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: and it says that they're in a folder on your desktop.

1104
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: It says, see user's public desktop or this pc C

1105
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: user's public public desktop. I'm just gonna take me too

1106
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: long to try to navigate there on my computer. But

1107
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: I would try to look there. And if it said, Okay,

1108
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my users, and I'm looking at my

1109
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 1: public and.

1110
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 2: Let's see desktop.

1111
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: I don't see my desktop, so I don't see it

1112
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: in there, users desktop, public desktop. I don't see a

1113
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: public desktop online. Interesting, But I would look in there. Oh,

1114
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,320
Speaker 1: here we go, desktop? Is it in here? So I

1115
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: would look on there and see if you can find

1116
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: it in there and delete them from that folder.

1117
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 5: Okay, I guess you'll be placing that online.

1118
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll put that link online so you can see.

1119
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: But the other thing I would do is have you

1120
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: tried clearing like your history on Firefox, like clearing everything? Yeah,

1121
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: and that doesn't work either. I think this may work.

1122
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: It looks like it looks like this. This may work

1123
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: for you, So I would look for this. I'll put

1124
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: this link on the website. Rich on tech dot tv

1125
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: in the show notes. But I want to hear if

1126
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: this works, because this is a this is a tricky one.

1127
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 5: I'll just I'll blame put Okay.

1128
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: We could just we can just blame people for everything.

1129
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: But I think that's uh, that's that's a new one. Wow,

1130
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: how did Okay? This reminds me of the story I

1131
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: told at the beginning of the show. It's like, you

1132
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta figure out you gotta just keep trying

1133
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get this thing gone from

1134
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: the computer. All right, thanks for the call, appreciate the call. Today,

1135
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: let's see how long do we have? Thirty oh, thirty seconds? Okay, well,

1136
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I will tease our next guest then,

1137
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:30,280
Speaker 1: Bob O'Donnell, president, founder and chief analyst at TECHnalysis Research.

1138
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna explain what aipcs are all about. And Bob

1139
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: used to host a version of this show, or a

1140
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 1: very similar one, so I'm curious to talk to him

1141
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: about that. You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome

1142
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: back to rich On Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out

1143
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: with you talking technology at triple eight rich one oh one.

1144
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one

1145
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 1: zero one. Joining me now is Bob O'Donnell a person

1146
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: that I often see out and about at the various

1147
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: tech events that I attend, whether it's Apple or Samsung

1148
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,760
Speaker 1: or something in between. He's the president, founder, and chief

1149
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: analyst at TECHnalysis Research.

1150
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 2: Bob, thanks so much for joining me today.

1151
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,439
Speaker 9: Hey Rich, Thanks happy to be there.

1152
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: So let's start with a little bit of your history.

1153
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: So you actually hosted a show It may even be

1154
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: like a version of this show back in the day.

1155
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: Explain did I did.

1156
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 9: I'm an og tech talk show host. So yeah, from

1157
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 9: ninety seven to two thousand and seven, I ran a

1158
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 9: show called O'Donnell on Computers, and then it became O'Donnell

1159
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 9: on Technology because of course the world expanded, and I

1160
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 9: actually took over from Leo Laporte, who was one of

1161
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 9: the original OGOG radio hosts. Leo does, of course, This

1162
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 9: Week in Tech and Gina Smith also had a radio

1163
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 9: show and I would fill in for them occasionally that

1164
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 9: I took over for Leo's show. He was on for

1165
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 9: about a year and a half and I ran it

1166
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 9: for over ten in an ABC affiliate up in San Francisco.

1167
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 9: It was a lot of fun, so it's so much

1168
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 9: fun to come back on the radio.

1169
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so what were people asking from ninety seven

1170
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: to two thousand and seven, because I, you know, I

1171
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: just got a question about you know, URL's shortcuts not

1172
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: being able to delete on the desktop on Windows? Will

1173
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: Earthlink work with my email? What kind of questions? Were

1174
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: people just asking the same stuff they were?

1175
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 9: I'm telling you, it's it's crazy that, you know, a

1176
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 9: lot of the issues are very similar still. I mean,

1177
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 9: thank god the technology has gotten a little bit easier

1178
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 9: to use, but it's also gotten more complex. It can

1179
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 9: do more, so there's more things to kind of tear apart.

1180
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 9: But you know, a lot of it would be those

1181
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 9: kinds of things. And you know how many times have

1182
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 9: you told people, well you might want to reboot?

1183
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I told you that. I had to say, you know,

1184
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: like restart out look. You know, like it's just little

1185
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: things that And it's funny because a lot of times

1186
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: it is very simple. And I get a lot of

1187
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: emails from people that you know, are asking for help,

1188
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 1: and sometimes if it's something that's very simple, I might

1189
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: wait a date respond and then I'll respond and say

1190
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,919
Speaker 1: is this still happening? And nine times out of ten

1191
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: it's not right?

1192
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, exactly, but you know what, people need to

1193
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 9: be kind of walked through it. And one of the

1194
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 9: challenges I think that we have with tech these days

1195
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 9: is there's not enough contextual explanations. Even if people are

1196
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 9: the type that read owner's mantles and one have you,

1197
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 9: you just don't get enough of sort of the context

1198
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 9: around it and the principles involved. And one of the

1199
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 9: one of the things I always used to like to

1200
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 9: try and do, and I'm sure you do as well,

1201
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 9: is you kind of explain the principles involved, like teaching

1202
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 9: them how to fish, not just to get one fish,

1203
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 9: but what are the principal boles involved with doing something,

1204
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 9: And that's how you work through some of these problems.

1205
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 9: And as people start to learn those principles, they can

1206
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 9: start doing some more of that troubleshooting on their own.

1207
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that is typically what I'll try to do,

1208
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: is say, here's here's the steps that I would take

1209
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: to because I'm not there with their computer or their

1210
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: phone exactly, here's the steps I would take to try

1211
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going on. Like first off, you know, restart, delete, whatever. Okay,

1212
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: So it's good to know that even in what was

1213
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: that twenty years ago, thirty years ago. It's all it's

1214
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: all the same stuff. It's just newer technology and different technology. Indeed,

1215
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: so you're you're talking about aipcs today is what's an AIPC?

1216
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

1217
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 9: Well, it's a great question, Britch. And you know, here's

1218
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 9: the thing. You're going to hear a lot about aipcs

1219
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 9: over the next year to two years, in particular from

1220
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 9: all the big PC vendors, from the big chip companies

1221
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 9: like Intel and am D and Nvidio and Pulcom and

1222
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 9: what have you. I mean, look, at the end of

1223
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 9: the day, you know, AIPC very simply is a PC

1224
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 9: that has some special sauce in it that allows it

1225
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 9: to run certain AI applications a little faster. And so

1226
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 9: most people are focused on this notion of adding a

1227
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 9: new type of a chip called an NPU or neural

1228
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 9: processing unit, and an NPU is a different type of

1229
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 9: accelerator than a GPU, being you know, GPU's graphics processing unit.

1230
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 9: So NPU kind of marks the beginning of the AIPC era,

1231
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 9: and AMD actually was first to market. They had a

1232
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 9: chip last year, the seventy forty, the rise in seventy

1233
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 9: forty that had it now they have an updated version

1234
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 9: of the eighty forty. Intel just came out with their

1235
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 9: media link that's the Ultra Core Ultra CPU. And then

1236
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 9: Qualcomm has already announced that they will have a chip

1237
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 9: it'll be coming out toward the middle of the year

1238
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 9: that will have an NPU as well. And of course,

1239
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 9: by the way, smartphones all have NPUs, they're just smaller

1240
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 9: and not quite as powerful as the ones we're going

1241
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 9: to start to see in PCs. So then what we're

1242
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 9: going to see basically is just as we saw. GPUs

1243
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 9: Initially were a element that you you know, had to

1244
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 9: be done separately. Eventually, then GPUs were built into every

1245
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 9: single uh CPU and main chip inside a PC, and

1246
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 9: if you wanted to, you could add a dedicated one,

1247
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 9: like if you're a gamer, of course, you buy a

1248
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 9: fancy GPU. So what's going to happen early on with

1249
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 9: NPUs is initially only a few systems will have them,

1250
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 9: and then over time every system will have it, and

1251
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 9: eventually I think we'll see dedicated npush to to accelerate things.

1252
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 9: And so basically, long win answer to a short question, sorry,

1253
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 9: but it's it's that addition of the NPU that sort

1254
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 9: of turns it into an AIPC. Then it becomes a

1255
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 9: question of degree, and we can get into that in

1256
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 9: a second.

1257
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: Well I'm curious, So you know, if people are already saying, well,

1258
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm already using Chat, GPT or Microsoft Copilot or you know,

1259
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Claude or any of these other AI tools out there,

1260
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think I have an MPU on

1261
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: my computer or you know this AI chip? Do I

1262
01:00:57,960 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: need this?

1263
01:00:58,440 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 2: Like? Why do I need this?

1264
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 10: Oh?

1265
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 9: It's a great question, and initially it is very confusing

1266
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 9: because most of the AI stuff that we are doing

1267
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 9: now Chat, GPT, if you started to use the Office

1268
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 9: Copilot with Microsoft and all these other capabilities, Dolly and

1269
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 9: all of these AI based things, they're all being done

1270
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 9: in the cloud. The idea with an AIPC is that

1271
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 9: some of that processing can happen locally on the device.

1272
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 9: The benefits down the road, in particular being things like privacy,

1273
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 9: things like security because you're doing it all within your

1274
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 9: own device, and also speed because you don't have to

1275
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 9: do round trips back and forth to the cloud every

1276
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 9: single time that you're doing it. So that's what we're

1277
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 9: going to start to see happen in the meantime, what

1278
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 9: we're also going to see is what I call hybrid AI,

1279
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 9: and that means some of it happens on the PC

1280
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 9: and some of it happens in the cloud, and again

1281
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 9: that will speed up the performance. In theory, it will

1282
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 9: allow you to do run certain things on just your data.

1283
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 9: So imagine an example like this. So let's say you're

1284
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 9: somebody who you know like me, I've written probably a

1285
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 9: thousand articles over the years. I have this cash of

1286
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 9: content that I've created, and I would love sort of

1287
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 9: the chat GPT type tool that actually only derived its

1288
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 9: new content based on what I did. Now you could

1289
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 9: do that with your own photos, et cetera. That's the

1290
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 9: perfect application for something like an AIPC because you're going

1291
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 9: to want to have it run locally and you know,

1292
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 9: and use your own data. Now, to be fair, that

1293
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 9: doesn't exist quite yet, but we're getting very close and

1294
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 9: we're going to start to see some of those sorts

1295
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 9: of applications go out there. So you know, do I

1296
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 9: need to have an AIPC now to your back to

1297
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 9: your original question, No, but am I going to start

1298
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 9: to see some of these benefits? Yes, eventually you will,

1299
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 9: and over time there's gonna be more and more of

1300
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 9: these things.

1301
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 4: You know.

1302
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 9: It's it's a truism in the PC business that hardware

1303
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 9: comes before the software, right, So you're gonna get the hardware,

1304
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 9: and then the software eventually is gonna come along.

1305
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: So, you know, I actually saw your you're mentioning that

1306
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: with like your you know, you build your own chat

1307
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: GBT kind of thing, like your own chat I guess

1308
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: we should call it a chat bot or chat ai.

1309
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: But in Nvidia did like a demo you can download

1310
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, this app to your computer. And I actually

1311
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: did this with my radio show with chat GBT. So

1312
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: I was taking my transcripts, putting them into a custom

1313
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: chat g ebte and then I could type in and

1314
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: say what did Rich say about this?

1315
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 2: And it would actually answer like what I said on

1316
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 2: the show.

1317
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: And this is cool, and this is going to be

1318
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: very handy for let's say, right now, let's say you

1319
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: have Google Drive, right, You've got or all these documents

1320
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: on your computer. You know, you've searched for a keyword

1321
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: in those documents, but maybe in the future you might

1322
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: search for like, hey, what's the deal summarize my trip

1323
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: to you know, Amsterdam next week? And it'll give you

1324
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 1: all the information across like all those different things there.

1325
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: So the bottom line, I've got two minutes here, Bob.

1326
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: You know we see this aikey on the keyboard on

1327
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: the Windows computer.

1328
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 2: Is there gonna be a lot of marketing.

1329
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: We're going to see surrounding these aipcs and do we

1330
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: need one right away?

1331
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 9: There's gonna be a ton of marketing, and it's very

1332
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 9: confusing because you know, like the Nvidia example we talked

1333
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 9: about actually uses a GPU and not an NPU, so

1334
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 9: that is also going to get thrown into it because

1335
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 9: some of these AI applications, like some of the things

1336
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 9: Adobe's working on, are also going to use a more

1337
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 9: powerful GPU. So short answer is you don't need one now,

1338
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 9: but if you are a future looking person and you

1339
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 9: want to be prepared, it's good to get one. The

1340
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 9: thing to be aware of, don't forget that, as with

1341
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 9: any other technology, the first version is going to be

1342
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 9: decent and then later versions, of course, are going to

1343
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 9: be much better. So you also have to decide do

1344
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 9: I want to dive in first or do I want

1345
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 9: to kind of wait a little bit and see what happens.

1346
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 9: And that's completely up to the individual in terms of

1347
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 9: they want to be on the cutting edge or they

1348
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 9: want to kind of wait a little bit.

1349
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: And just finally, AI in general, how impressed are you

1350
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: with all this stuff we're seeing.

1351
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 2: It's it's coming fast and curious.

1352
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 9: It's amazing. You know, I've I've been in the tech industry.

1353
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 9: You know, obviously I age myself with how old my

1354
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 9: radio show is, but you know, I've been tracking this

1355
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 9: stuff for a long time and I have never seen

1356
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 9: anything like the pace of development in AI. It's absolutely incredible,

1357
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 9: and you know, some of the stuff that's starting to

1358
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 9: do is great. I mean, it doesn't do everything everybody thinks,

1359
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 9: and there is some you know, level of disappointment some

1360
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 9: people have after a little bit, but the stuff that's

1361
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 9: being worked on and some of the things are starting

1362
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 9: to happen. The new video tool that open AI just

1363
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 9: introduced is amazing. I mean just you know, it's explosive

1364
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 9: and it's really going to change everything. And that's why

1365
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 9: aipcs become a really interesting topic.

1366
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: All right, Bob, what's the best way folks can follow you?

1367
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,439
Speaker 9: They can I'm on Twitter at babo d tech bo

1368

1370
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 9: kind of hard too.

1371
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 2: And that's all right.

1372
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: We'll find you on Twitter. Thanks so much for joining

01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

1382
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 11: Hey, Rich, I was a wondering if you would be

1383
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 11: able to answer this. It's I len't know about my

1384
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 11: one password because you did the article on on on

1385
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 11: the on the joannistin thing where and wondering as you

1386
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 11: switched back to the regular one password, I mean the

1387
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 11: regular Apple password.

1388
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Oh from one password? Yes, okay, so you want to

1389
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: switch back? Okay, So you're paying for one password or

1390
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: we're using the free version? Is there a free version of.

1391
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly. So here's the thing.

1392
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 1: Here's my recommendation on in general, I like third party

1393
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 1: software because you are not tied to any one system

1394
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: in particular. So if you want to switch right now,

1395
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: you're saying you want to go to the Apple password manager.

1396
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: I believe they call it Apple Keychain, So you know,

1397
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: that's great if you're using Apple devices, But what if

1398
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: you want to switch to a different device. You know,

1399
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: you want to go to a different browser, or a

1400
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: different computer, or a different phone, Android, whatever. Now, Apple

1401
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: did come out with an extension for Windows which lets

1402
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: you use iCloud keychain, so that is a nice step

1403
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: in the right direction, but I still don't believe you

1404
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: could use it on Android, which would be a problem

1405
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: if you ever switched Android. But that's why I always

1406
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: like third party independent apps. So on the flip side,

1407
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: you're saying that one password. You know you like the

1408
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: idea that the Apple keychain is included, right, it's free,

1409
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: it's part of just Apple and all that stuff, and

1410
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: one password. You're gonna have to pay for this to

1411
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: use it, and most of the password managers work that way,

1412
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: where if you want to use it across different devices,

1413
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 1: you have to pay.

1414
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 2: Some are more expensive than others.

1415
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: So my recommendation is if you are only going to

1416
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: use Apple devices, and you're sticking to the iPhone and

1417
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: the iPad and a Mac computer, go ahead and safari whatever.

1418
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 2: It's going to be just fine.

1419
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: If you are using a combination of devices, then I

1420
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: would think about using a third part password manager. Now

1421
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: there are some password managers I like that are free

1422
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 1: and do work across various devices. And the first one

1423
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 1: is called bitwarden. So if you want a free alternative,

1424
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: check out bitwarden, b T war d e N and

1425
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: bitwarden is. They have a free level of service. It's

1426
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 1: open source, so it's trusted and it's a great little

1427
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,839
Speaker 1: program if you want to just use a free password manager.

1428
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: The other one is actually Google Password Manager. So what

1429
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: Google did is they started with their password manager working

1430
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: in Chrome, but now they've expanded it where you can

1431
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: actually use it as an auto fill service on the iPhone.

1432
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: And that's that's also free and it's pretty easy to use.

1433
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 1: That's called Google Password Manager. So those are some options.

1434
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: Again in general, if you're only using Apple products and

1435
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: you never planned to switch, I like, you know, I

1436
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: don't typically recommend using that, but it's easy, it's.

1437
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 2: Build and go ahead.

1438
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: But if you want to step it up a notch,

1439
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: and go third party and you don't want to pay,

1440
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 1: then I like Bitwarden or Google Password Manager, but I

1441
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: do think some of these third party password managers, like

1442
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: one password and also dash Lane, they are really good,

1443
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: but they are expensive and especially over time, they do

1444
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: get quite expensive. So great question, Johnny, and ultimately it

1445
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: is up to you what you want to do. Thank

1446
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: you for the call. Triple eight rich one on one

1447
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two for one zero one.

1448
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: Let me a couple things of notes here. Verizon making

1449
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: a big change to its auto pay discount. So all

1450
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: of the cellular carriers have been forcing their customers to

1451
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: use auto pay if they want to get the best

1452
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: rate every month, which I don't like, but we have

1453
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: to do it because it's it's like ten dollars savings

1454
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: a month, that's one hundred and twenty dollars a year.

1455
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 1: So typically they required you to be on on a

1456
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: debit card or a bank account because those are cheaper

1457
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: to process than a credit card. Well, now Verizon is

1458
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: taking it up a notch. They're going to require a

1459
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: bank account or their own Verizon Visa card, which I

1460
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't recommend getting, but you know that's an option, but

1461
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: if you want to have the biggest discount, which is

1462
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month on autopay, you will now require

1463
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: a bank account or the Verizon Visa card. You used

1464
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,639
Speaker 1: to be able to use the debit card and get

1465
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: that discount as well. If you're on Verizon autopay with

1466
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 1: the debit card, they will continue to honor that discount.

1467
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,759
Speaker 2: So no changes.

1468
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: If you're like, wait, Rich, I have my debit card

1469
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 1: with Verizon because I switched a couple of years ago

1470
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: for my credit card to get this discount, yes, you

1471
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: can still leave that as of right now. We don't

1472
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: know if that'll change in the future. This change for

1473
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: new customers already took effect, so if you are a

1474
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 1: new customer on Verizon you don't have autopay set up

1475
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: and you go to set it up, you will need

1476
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 1: to use your bank account to get that big discount.

1477
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: T Mobile and AT and T have made similar changes,

1478
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 1: and it's just, you know, it's just one of those

1479
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: things that I don't agree with.

1480
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 2: I don't like when companies.

1481
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: Have access to auto pay, especially on a service that

1482
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:15,799
Speaker 1: is not a fixed cost Sure, Netflix, Hbo, Max, Disney Plus.

1483
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't mind auto pay on those services. I do

1484
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 1: mind when it's on things like bills that change, because

1485
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: what do they do. They like to surprise you and

1486
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: they've already taken your money and now it's up to

1487
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,719
Speaker 1: you to figure out how to get around that surprise.

1488
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: Oh my bill is like one hundred bucks extra this month,

1489
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: Well they're taking out that payment no matter what. And

1490
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: Google has a new feature, talk to a Live rep.

1491
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: This brings basically a great feature they've had on Pixel

1492
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 1: for a while called hold to Me to all search users.

1493
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: So now when you search for an eight hundred number

1494
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 1: from a company, you may see an icon that says

1495
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: you can talk to a live representative, and it will

1496
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: give you an option to put in your phone number

1497
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: and they will call you when a representative is ready.

1498
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 1: So this works with major airlines, Delta, American Airlines, Verizon,

1499
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,799
Speaker 1: t Mobile, Walmart, Best Buy, Ups, grub Hub, State Harm,

1500
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: State Farm, and Geico. If you call one of those

1501
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: you search for that number on you Google, you might

1502
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 1: see an option to say, hey, have Google hold on.

1503
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: Be it hold for you and call you when the

1504
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: rep is ready. It's kind of a cool feature, reminds

1505
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,800

1511
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: the show and I do a lot of thinking during

1512
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,879
Speaker 1: that time, and I was thinking about you as the listener.

1513

Speaker 1: I feel like you are doing something really good for yourself.

1515
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, we do so many things for other people,

1516
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,360

01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: our time, They're demanding our energy, our efforts, and we

1518
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: have to make our own efforts to do things for us.

1519
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 1: And so by tuning into this show and listening to

1520
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: me and hearing about this stuff that's going on in

1521
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,759
Speaker 1: the tech world, I think you're doing something pretty smart.

1522
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 2: So I do appreciate that.

1523
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: I always think of you when I'm coming up with

1524
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: the stories I talk about, or the stories I tell,

1525
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: or the news tidbits or the things I post to

1526
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 1: social media. It is all really to help you take

1527
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: control of all this tech that's in our lives, because

1528
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: there's so much of it. And yeah, we can get

1529
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: in the weeds here, we can get really techy and nerdy.

1530
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: But I think that this show is best for someone

1531

01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:09,799
Speaker 1: oh one. That's eighty eight eight seven four to two

1538
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: four one zero one. By the way, if you ever

1539
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 1: want to come up with a solution to a problem,

1540
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 1: there's two things you could do. You can either wells

1541
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 1: three things you could or come up with an idea.

1542
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: You could take a shower, you could go to sleep,

1543
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: or you can take a run. Those are like the

1544
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: three things that like every single time I do those,

1545
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: it's like, oh wait, I need to write this down

1546
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 1: because things just come to you.

1547
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 2: Let's go to.

1548
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Michelle is in mission Viajo. Michelle, you're on with rich

1549
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: I just.

1550
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 8: Have a question. I'm one of those non techy persons. Yes,

1551
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,640
Speaker 8: I just bought a car that does not have a

1552
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 8: ZV player. I'm an avid book on tape kind of girl,

1553
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 8: And I want to know if there's a product out

1554
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 8: there that has at least some quality to it that

1555
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 8: can attach to bluetooth so I can listen to it

1556
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 8: at home and in my car.

1557
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: Any suggestions, MM, So you have you have CDs with

1558
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: books on tape?

1559
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 8: Yes, and my new car doesn't have a CD player,

1560
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 8: nor do I have a CD player at home?

1561
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 2: Okay, oh, okay, So I would love.

1562
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,599
Speaker 8: To have it attached somehow like a portable. I've seen

1563
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 8: them on Amazon, but I don't know if they're any

1564
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 8: good quality, if they skip in the car, or if

1565
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 8: there's anything else out there that I hadn't thought of.

1566
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the number one thing I would think

1567
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: that would be easiest is to rip the CD to

1568
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 1: a file that you can put on your phone, and

1569
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: then you can use the bluetooth from your phone to

1570
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: do that. So that would be one way to do it.

1571
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 9: Now.

1572
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: The audiobook should probably be pretty simple to do that.

1573
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: The only problem with that is that this is, you know,

1574
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 1: audiobooks usually have a lot of chapters, so it could

1575
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: be a little bit tricky to do that, and then

1576
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: you have to transfer it to your do you have

1577
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: an iPhone or an Android iPhone. Okay, so there's a

1578
01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: there's a really easy app that I like for transferring

1579
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 1: things to iPhone, which is called Walter w A L

1580
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: t R. But you said you're non techie, so I

1581
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: just don't know if that route is gonna be the

1582
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: easiest for you, because you're gonna you know, you've got

1583
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: to first off, rip the the album. It used to

1584
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: be really easy with iTunes. I don't know if it's

1585
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: that easy anymore. It used to be, you know, you

1586
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: pop your the DV the CD in your computer and

1587
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 1: you know rip. The problem is most of us don't

1588
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: even have a CD player anymore, like you said, And

1589
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 1: does your computer have a CD drive? Yes, oh it does, okay.

1590
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 2: And are you on Windows or Mac?

1591
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 4: Mac?

1592
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 2: Oh you are on Mac? Okay, okay.

1593
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:40,680
Speaker 1: Well in that case, I mean, if you do have that,

1594
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: that might actually be a pretty easy thing to do.

1595
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: So what you do is you would rip the the

1596
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: audio book to your computer. And rip means it basically

1597
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: transfers the file from the audio CD to your computer

1598
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: as an MP three. And you know, there's a couple

1599
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: of programs that can do that. I'm trying to think

1600
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 1: of one that I haven't used this in so long

1601
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: that I gotta I gotta think of one to do.

1602
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: But once you get that done, you can then use

1603
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,440
Speaker 1: this Walter program to drag and drop onto your iPhone.

1604
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:14,719
Speaker 1: And that's pretty simple, uh, because it's just a Dragon drop.

1605
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: So that's that's probably the easiest way to do it.

1606
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: I think that that would work better. I'm looking at

1607
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: Amazon at the CD players and I see one, and

1608
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw this one on there.

1609
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 2: It's the Yeah.

1610
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 1: This one's about forty seven bucks, the Ara FUNA, and

1611
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: it says portable CD player with Bluetooth with FM radio.

1612
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: It's rechargeable, and it's got anti shock protection, and it's

1613
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: got an OX cable.

1614
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 2: Does your phone have does your car have an OX port?

1615
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 6: Yes?

1616
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 8: I believe that.

1617
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so I would probably go with that. I mean,

1618
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 2: the Bluetooth or do.

1619
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 8: You think they're good quality?

1620
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's probably fine. I don't think

1621
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna I mean, look, you're you're talking forty six

1622
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: dollars here. I would probably try that first because it's

1623
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 1: going to be the absolute easiest way to do this.

1624
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 2: So I would order this from Amazon.

1625
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: Obviously, you can return it if it doesn't work, but

1626
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: I would order it from Amazon. Put the CD player,

1627
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: put the CD in it. I don't know where you're

1628
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: gonna put this or you're going to keep it like

1629
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: on the seat next to you. Like that's the tricky part.

1630
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: When I was you know, when I was growing Okay,

1631
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 1: well then you could do that. When I was growing up,

1632
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 1: I had a CD player in my car. This was

1633
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: before you know they were installed in the car going

1634
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: back aways. And I use some double stick like velcrow

1635
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 1: to like velcrow the CD player to the center console,

1636
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 1: so you can do that. You can vel crow it somewhere.

1637
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: But I think that's.

1638
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 8: Well then that way, I use it at home and

1639
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 8: just plug it into one of my other speakers, like

1640
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 8: you know, a portable speaker and have it played throughout

1641
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 8: the house.

1642
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1643
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: And if it's also if it's if it's Bluetooth, you

1644
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:51,920
Speaker 1: can use it with a Bluetooth speaker as well.

1645
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:52,679
Speaker 2: I mean you could.

1646
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,639
Speaker 1: Look, I would. I would start with this little CD

1647
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: player on Amazon. See what it does. It's got Bluetooth

1648
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 1: built in that means you don't need any wires. It

1649
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 1: has a battery built in, which means you don't even

1650
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: have to you know, you charge it at home, you

1651
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 1: bring it into your car. You've got the CD in there,

1652
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: and now you can just press play connected to the

1653
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: Bluetooth on your car and if it sounds great, if

1654
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 1: it's if it's good.

1655
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 2: Done.

1656
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 1: It's a very simple solution to a kind of a

1657
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 1: complex problem. But if it doesn't sound good, you can

1658
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: return it and then you can go the route where

1659
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 1: you put this stuff on your phone.

1660
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 2: But I think that's a little bit too complicated for

1661
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 2: right now.

1662
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 8: Okay, thank you so much.

1663
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate all right, Michelle, go to the website rich

1664
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: on tech dot TV. Hit contact once you do all

1665
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: this and let me know. I want an update so

1666
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: I can see if this is going to work right.

1667
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:40,639
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for the call. Appreciate that. Let's see

1668
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,679
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Hard to believe it was just last weekend.

1669
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: It feels like it was an eternity ago. It was

1670
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 1: a big, big Super Bowl. We had a lot of

1671
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: fun in my house watching it. We had a couple

1672
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: of people over. I told you I upgraded my TV,

1673
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 1: so we had a great time.

1674
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 2: The TV.

1675
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: The four K on YouTube TV looked incredible. One hundred

1676
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: and twenty three point four million viewers, across CBS, Nickelodeon, Univision,

1677
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: and NFL plus. This was this was the second most

1678
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: viewed item in history after the moon landing in nineteen

1679
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 1: sixty nine. How did more people watch that back in

1680
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,640
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine? That doesn't make sense, right, but I

1681
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: guess yeah, people were just glued to their TV. Was

1682
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: there one hundred and twenty three million TVs like in

1683
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: the US back then? That's seems weird. But anyway, last

1684
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: year's Super Bowl was one hundred and fifteen million. One

1685
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty million who watched on CBS alone, is

1686
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,799
Speaker 1: the largest single audience ever for a network. Oh interesting,

1687
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: So they just revealed how many people were streaming versus CBS.

1688
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,759
Speaker 1: So only about three million on streaming three point five million.

1689
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: Let's see, Kansas City Chiefs have played in and won

1690
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: two of the most watched Super Bowls ever. I know

1691
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: that's a sore spot for some of you. Call screen

1692
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 1: er Kim sorry, I know she's a big forty nine

1693
01:21:59,280 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 1: Ers fan.

1694
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 2: Let's see.

1695
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:03,639
Speaker 1: Among the ten most watched super Bowl, CBS now has

1696
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 1: three of them. Why did people watch this Super Bowl?

1697
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 1: Why do you think the Chiefs? You know, it was

1698
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: a big deal for them, but also Travis Kelce and

1699
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift call it the Taylor Swift effect. Look you

1700
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: got yeah, Usher, I mean, look, you got a lot

1701
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 1: of things going on here. It was a very it

1702
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,120
Speaker 1: was a very safe super Bowl. Let's put it that way.

1703
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: You had a great halftime show with a proven talent,

1704
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: You had two great teams that were, you know, proven

1705
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 1: that people love. And you had the third element, which

1706
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:36,799
Speaker 1: was this whole Travis Kelce Taylor Swift relationship. And also

1707
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: I would argue that they made it easy to watch

1708
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: this year because in years past it's been a little

1709
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: tricky to figure out, like where's it streaming, what's it doing?

1710
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 1: Like they got it. They got it down this year.

1711
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: So again new record for the Super Bowl. I know

1712
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: I was watching up until you know the last second

1713
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: of overtime, which is also wild eighty eight rich one

1714
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: O one eight eight eight seven four to two four

1715
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: to one zero one. You can follow me on the

Speaker 1: website or on social media. It is at rich on

1717
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: Tech coming up. Amazon forgot to mention something when they

1718
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: said you have to pay three dollars a month to

1719
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: get rid of ads.

1720
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 2: They also took something else away.

1721
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they took away, and Voodoo is

1722
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 1: getting a new name. I'll tell you what that is.

1723
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 1: You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to

1724
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out talking technology

1725
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 1: with you at triple eight rich one oh one eight

1726
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,720

1727
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: Give me a call if you have a question about technology.

1728
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: We've got coming up on the show. Jared Newman of Advisorator.

1729
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 1: He is a friend of the show, been on many times.

1730
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: In fact, you crashed his website the first time he

1731
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 1: was on because you liked what he had to say

1732
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 1: so much. So he's got some great stuff. He's going

1733
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: to talk about what to do if you are running

1734
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 1: out of iCloud store bage. He writes a great newsletter.

1735
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: He was telling a story about this the other day,

1736
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: and I think he has some good information to share.

1737
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk Roku. Roku now has over eighty million active users.

1738
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: That is quite a milestone for them. They said that

1739
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: people streamed over one hundred billion hours on Roku in

1740
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. On average, each Roku account streamed four

1741
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 1: point one hours per day in the last quarter. Roku

1742
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 1: now has more active accounts in the US than the

1743
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 1: number of subscribers to the sixth biggest traditional cable and

1744
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: satellite TV providers combined. Why is this a big deal?

1745
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Roku makes money off of ads, and the more people

1746
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 1: they have that are using Roku, the more data they

1747
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: have to sell. So we talked about this last week

1748
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 1: on the show how TV Manufacturers. You know, they look

1749
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: at what you're watching on the TV and they use

1750
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: that data to sell to sell ads against it, and

1751
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 1: that's exactly what Roku does. And Roku actually takes it

1752
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: a step further. They get a little bit of ad

1753
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 1: time from some of these streaming properties as well, so

1754
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 1: they've got a pretty decent business going. But the more

1755
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: that they you know, you love Roku. Actually it's funny

1756
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: because you know, I told that story about my mom

1757
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: switching from her TV, like her firestick went out and

1758
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,600
Speaker 1: so she had to switch to the Roku that was

1759
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: built into the TV. And I talked to her last

1760
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: week and I said, or this week and I said, hey, Mom,

1761
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: how you know how you like in the system the

1762
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 1: set up? She goes, I actually like Roku better than

1763
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: fire TV. I said, what she said, Yeah, I hate

1764
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: to say that, but I said, well, why do you

1765
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 1: hate to say? I mean, it's not that big of

1766
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 1: a deal, but why do you like it better? And

1767
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 1: she said, I don't know. It's just easier. She goes

1768
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:47,640
Speaker 1: and they have all this content on there for free.

1769
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: She said, so she can I can click news and

1770
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of news stuff I can watch.

1771
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: And I said, that's interesting because the free streaming services

1772
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 1: are the fastest growing right now. People like free And

1773
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: so the fact that she can just go in there

1774
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: and fire TV has a free area as well, maybe

1775
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 1: she didn't find it, but it's interesting that she picked

1776
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: up on that with Roku. So and I have no

1777
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: problem with Roku or fire TV or Apple TV. I

1778
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 1: will say at this point, I think Apple TV is

1779
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: the only one that's not hijacking the home screen for ads.

1780
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,759
Speaker 2: And also I don't believe that they sell any.

1781
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: Any of your data for ads like fireTV does or Roku.

1782
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 1: And is there another one out there? Oh, Google TV? Yeah,

1783
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure Google is, because it's Google.

1784
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 10: Uh.

1785
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: Voodoo is gonna rebrand a get a rebranding as Fandango

1786
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:44,719
Speaker 1: at Home. So Voodo Voodoo announced this on their social

1787
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,799
Speaker 1: media networks this week. Fandango purchased Voodoo in twenty twenty

1788
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: from Walmart, and so that's pretty much it. That's what's changing.

1789
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 1: But you will have the option to link your Fandango

1790
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: account if you have one. But not much more to

1791
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 1: report there except that Voodoo will become Fandango at Home.

1792
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 2: Now, a little history on Voodoo.

1793
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:11,759
Speaker 1: By the way, I was one of the first people

1794
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 1: to cover Voodoo when it first launched. So the way

1795
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,799
Speaker 1: Voodoo launched, this was a startup before it was purchased

1796
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 1: by Walmart and before it was purchased by Fandango, which

1797
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 1: I believe is owned by NBC Universal. Voodoo was a

1798
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 1: startup and their little magic sauce was that they would

1799
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 1: give you this or you'd buy this box.

1800
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 2: It was a Voodoo box.

1801
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 1: And what they would do is, since internet was really

1802
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: slow back then, they would actually download a portion of

1803
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,759
Speaker 1: the popular movies to the box, so they were sitting

1804
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: on the box.

1805
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 6: Now.

1806
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 1: I know this seems so weird now because streaming you

1807
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 1: just get everything on demand, But back in the day,

1808
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 1: when Internet was really slow and we were just going

1809
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 1: from dial up connections to DSL and not everyone had

1810
01:27:55,840 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 1: a really fast Internet connection. So they would basically look

1811
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:03,600
Speaker 1: at what people were watching. So if you know, the

1812
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 1: new Mission Impossible movie was really popular, they would download

1813
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: the first couple of minutes of that movie in the background,

1814
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 1: so like overnight, and while you weren't watching anything, they

1815
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 1: would download a portion of this movie so that when

1816
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: you went to play that movie, it would start really fast.

1817
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 1: And now, of course this seems so silly because you

1818
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: can access anything you want in the world and it

1819
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: will start really fast. But back when we didn't have

1820
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 1: super high speed internet, this made a difference, and so

1821
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:34,719
Speaker 1: it was it was a really revolutionary idea at the time,

1822
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 1: but it kind of was an in between technology because

1823
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 1: now we don't need that. And of course when Netflix

1824
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: came along, their whole thing was that they figured out

1825
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,719
Speaker 1: a way to start streaming really quickly on any connection

1826
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: speed almost and so that's really what Netflix does very well,

1827
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: is that they have a lot of technologies surrounding fast

1828
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,879
Speaker 1: start of movies. You know, no matter what your connection

1829
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: looks like. Now all of this has become kind of

1830
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: a moot point because our connections are so fast. But

1831
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,720
Speaker 1: back in the day, these were real challenges because to

1832
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: watch a full movie like it just it was trickier than.

1833
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,799
Speaker 2: It is today. Now it's obviously very easy.

1834
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 1: And Amazon has quietly removed support for Dolby Vision and

1835
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:25,479
Speaker 1: Dolby Atmost from their ad supported tier of Prime Video

1836
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 1: without telling customers. So remember this whole thing where Amazon said, oh,

1837
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 1: now we're putting commercials in our programming on Prime Video

1838
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 1: unless you pay an extra three dollars a month for

1839
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 1: our ad free tier, which is kind of annoying to

1840
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 1: begin with. Well, now some of these I think it

1841
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 1: was Ours Technica that figured out that they also took

1842
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 1: away this Dolbie Vision and Dolby Atmost support. Why well,

1843
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:55,799
Speaker 1: it all comes down to money, because when these companies

1844
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: like Amazon put Dolby Vision in Dolby Atmost support on

1845
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 1: their movie and TV shows, they have to pay a

1846
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: licensing fee. And so by taking this away from their

1847
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,680
Speaker 1: basic free which I call it the free tier, even

1848
01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:11,760
Speaker 1: though people are paying for Amazon Prime, but it is

1849
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: now their free tier of Amazon Prime Video, they that

1850
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 1: is a lot of people, you know, two hundred million people.

1851
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 1: Let's say that now they don't have to pay for

1852
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:25,880
Speaker 1: this licensing for Dolby Vision and Dolby Autmost. So very sneaky, sneaky,

1853
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:29,479
Speaker 1: but that's what Amazon did. So if you really like

1854
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: your high quality video and audio, and Dolby Utmost, by

1855
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:38,720
Speaker 1: the way, is spatial audio. So audio typically when you

1856
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: think about surround sound is kind of like left and

1857
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 1: right and center. A Dolby Utmost is kind of above you,

1858
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: so it's like the audio that happens above, So you're

1859
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 1: losing that channel basically, So sneaky. I don't like when

1860
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 1: companies do stuff they make a big deal about it

1861
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 1: and they don't say anything about what they're really doing.

1862
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 2: That's what Amazon did. That's the like that.

1863
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, Jared Newman is going to talk

1864
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 1: about how to free up iCloud storage or what to

1865
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 1: do if you're out of it. You are listening to

1866
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

1867
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 1: Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology at triple

1868
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: eight Rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight seven

1869
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one talking evs. Went

1870
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,920
Speaker 1: to the Chicago Auto Show last week. Obviously a lot

1871
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 1: of evs there, But what's happening with EV's in the

1872
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:40,000
Speaker 1: US registrations In twenty twenty three, Tesla of course dominated,

1873
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 1: but Rivian and Hyundai catching on. So a lot of

1874
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 1: people are saying that electric car sales are falling. That's

1875
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:51,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily true. According to the latest data, ev registrations

1876
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 1: were up twenty three percent in December and up fifty

1877
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 1: two percent for the full year. Tesla led the market

1878
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 1: with fifty six percent share. They had six hundred and

1879
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:06,719
Speaker 1: forty two thousand plus registrations, mostly thanks to the Model

1880
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 1: Y and then Ford edged out GM for second place,

1881
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 1: but smaller brands like Hyundai and Rivian saw a lot

1882
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 1: of growth. Hunday fourth with fifty and eleven registrations, driven

1883
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 1: by the Ionic five to six and the Kona Electric,

1884
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 1: and Rivian was in fifth place with four percent share

1885
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:28,600
Speaker 1: they sold. I guess they had forty six thousand registrations.

1886
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 2: I'm seeing a lot.

1887
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, at least in LA, A lot of the

1888
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:36,440
Speaker 1: Mercedes electric cars like that is like they are everywhere.

1889
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 1: And Rivian's going to unveil a new R two, which

1890
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: is their lower cost suv, very soon, so we're going

1891
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 1: to see that coming up on I think it was

1892
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:53,640
Speaker 1: March seventh. Joining me now Jared Newman. He is a

1893

Speaker 1: What Advisorator is all about? What is that newsletter all about?

1900
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 10: It's my weekly tech advice newsletter I started at about

1901
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 10: five years ago, just kind of all the stuff where

1902
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 10: when I tell my non nerdy friends about the things

1903
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 10: you can do with technology and they're like, oh, I

1904
01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 10: didn't know you could do that. I was like, well,

1905
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 10: let me start a newsletter where I can actually tell

1906
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 10: people all the things they didn't realize they could do

1907
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:32,160
Speaker 10: or need to know about.

1908
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 1: So it is really interesting the stuff that when you

1909
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 1: cover technology or you're kind of in the thick of

1910
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 1: it every day like I am and you are. There

1911
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:43,679
Speaker 1: is so much knowledge that you take for granted that

1912
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:45,720
Speaker 1: when you're at a party or you're just out with

1913
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:48,840
Speaker 1: friends and you say something and they're like, wait what,

1914
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 1: and you're like you didn't know that? And I, you know,

1915
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:53,599
Speaker 1: not in a judging way, but just in a wait

1916
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 1: what Like these things that you just take for granted

1917
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 1: that everyone knows and they don't.

1918
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, some of my some of My most popular newsletters

1919
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 10: are the ones where I'm not even sure if I

1920
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 10: should write them because I'm like, wait, does everybody know

1921
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:07,920
Speaker 10: this already? And I'm just going to be telling people

1922
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 10: what they already know. And then it turns out the

1923
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 10: answer is no. So yeah, including you know this thing

1924
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 10: about iCloud.

1925
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so explain what happened with the iCloud situation. So

1926
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:19,719
Speaker 1: you your your newsletter this week says how to handle

1927
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 1: iCloud storage, and something happened with your wife, so explain.

1928
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:24,960
Speaker 3: She sent me.

1929
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:28,320
Speaker 10: She forwarded me an email from Apple that said your

1930
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:32,280
Speaker 10: iCloud storage is full, and was like, do I need

1931
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:35,000
Speaker 10: to do anything about this? And then I looked at

1932
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 10: my iCloud storage and it turns out that my iCloud

1933
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 10: storage was also almost full. So it kind of sneaks

1934
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 10: up on you.

1935
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 2: And so what what did you decide?

1936
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, did you just say, okay, let me tap

1937
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 1: to expand my storage for another couple bucks a month,

1938
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 1: or what did you decide to do?

1939
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 3: No?

1940
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:56,719
Speaker 10: And the reason is, you know, the thing that really

1941
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 10: uses a ton of iCloud storages of course, photos and videos.

1942
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:03,679
Speaker 10: I already knew that in our case, we were we

1943
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:08,799
Speaker 10: were using Google Photos primarily as our cloud photo storage.

1944
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 10: I also use one drive as like another backup, and

1945
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 10: I keep photos on my computer, so I don't need

1946
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 10: neither of us need iCloud to handle our photos. So

1947
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 10: sure enough, when I looked at my wife's phone and

1948
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 10: looked at my phone, a huge chunk of that storage

1949
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 10: was just iCloud photos had been turned on. I don't

1950
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:27,680
Speaker 10: even remember how it got turned on my end. I

1951
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:31,200
Speaker 10: might have been testing something something, But yeah, in both cases,

1952
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:34,720
Speaker 10: it was like three to four of the five complimentary

1953
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,839
Speaker 10: gigabytes you get was being occupied by photos.

1954
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, and I'm sure you saw this.

1955
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:42,000
Speaker 1: When you went to turn it off, you got that

1956
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 1: big scary message that says, are you sure you want

1957
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,040
Speaker 1: to turn off and delete all your pictures?

1958
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 3: Yes?

1959
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:52,639
Speaker 10: Exactly, because you know, to be fair, if you are

1960
01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:55,920
Speaker 10: relying on iCloud photos, or you hadn't thought about photo

1961
01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 10: backups and you're just doing to your point earlier, you know,

1962
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 10: I'm sure there's a lot of folks that just just

1963
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 10: assume that their photos are being backed up and aren't

1964
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 10: really thinking about it too much, and they just assume

1965
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:10,639
Speaker 10: Apple is handling everything for them, which they very melt

1966
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 10: very well might be, and so uh yeah, you do

1967
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:16,559
Speaker 10: kind of need to exercise some caution there and know

1968
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 10: what you're doing before you turn that off. But if

1969
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:21,839
Speaker 10: you if you know that you have another backup solution

1970
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 10: in place, then it's not really a big deal that

1971
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 10: you click that button.

1972
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:25,960
Speaker 2: Now, a lot of.

1973
01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:30,719
Speaker 1: People are confused about the photos on your Like if

1974
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,640
Speaker 1: you're using iCloud for your photos, your iPhone is a

1975
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:36,160
Speaker 1: mirror of the cloud, So if you delete a picture

1976
01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:38,559
Speaker 1: on your phone, it's going to go away in I cloud.

1977
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 2: Some people don't realize that.

1978
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:45,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's true, and it gets into tricky territory because

1979
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 10: there's that whole thing of is your phone having all

1980
01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:53,240
Speaker 10: of the photos they're in I cloud versus you know,

1981
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 10: the default is that Apple will delete some photos off

1982
01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,880
Speaker 10: of your phone to make room on your phone, but

1983
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 10: keep them an eyecloud and so but the library, the

1984
01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 10: photos app still shows everything that's in that eCloud. So

1985
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 10: it leads to some confusion about what's being stored ware

1986
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 10: and what happens when you actually delete something.

1987
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: And this is why I like Google Photos because I know,

1988
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: basically I think of Google Photos as a vacuum. Once

1989
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:20,400
Speaker 1: the photo gets sucked up into the cloud of Google Photos.

1990
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:24,160
Speaker 1: It's not going anywhere because I can delete things on

1991
01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 1: my phone. If I'm not deleting them through Google Photos,

1992
01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 1: they're not going to be deleted.

1993
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a different philosophy. Like in my mind, I

1994
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:33,439
Speaker 10: like that, you know, it's not my camera role. Like

1995
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:36,439
Speaker 10: my camera roll is whatever happens to it happens, and

1996
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 10: Google Photos is like this other repository where yeah, everything's

1997
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:42,680
Speaker 10: on there. And so even if something happens in my

1998
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:45,439
Speaker 10: phone and my camera roll is obliterated or I delete

1999
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 10: everything off my camera roll, it's still in Google Photos

2000
01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 10: and it's not actually syncing back and forth that way.

2001
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 10: Lets some people prefer it the other way, where it's

2002
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 10: just that one library that's being managed through the default

2003
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 10: photo album on the iPhone.

2004
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 1: Now, my kids take giant videos on the iPads. They

2005
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 1: let it roll for like an hour, and I have

2006
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: a two terabyte storage on my iCloud, and I'm not kidding,

2007
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: it's all taken up and I have no idea what's

2008
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: taking it up except their stuff. And I tell them,

2009
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, kids, you got to go through and like

2010
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 1: delete a couple of these big you know, they'll literally

2011
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 1: set like the iPad on their windowsill and record outside

2012
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:21,599
Speaker 1: as like a security quote unquote camera just for fun,

2013
01:38:22,120 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: and it'll be like a giant, giant file that they'll

2014
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:28,800
Speaker 1: never delete. So what anyway, what's your takeaway? What's your

2015
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:30,960
Speaker 1: guidance for iCloud, Like, what do people need to know?

2016
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 10: Well, one thing, we you know, we haven't talked about

2017
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 10: the whole iCloud. This is interesting to me because I

2018
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 10: learned it in the course of researching as they haven't

2019
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:42,000
Speaker 10: realized that the iCloud Photos versus iCloud backup. So even

2020
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 10: if you turn off iCloud Photos, there's still the separate

2021
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 10: iCloud backup, which is taking everything that's on your phone

2022
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:52,760
Speaker 10: and uploading it to the cloud. And if you turn

2023
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 10: off iCloud photos, every photo that's on your phone still

2024
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:58,839
Speaker 10: in the camera roll will still be included in that backup.

2025
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:02,000
Speaker 10: So even if you are using Google Photos and then

2026
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 10: you take that extra step to turn off iCloud Photos,

2027
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 10: you're still burning through all your iCloud storage space on

2028
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 10: a separate backup, and then you have to go in

2029
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:13,760
Speaker 10: and take another step in say exclude my photos from

2030
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 10: the back up.

2031
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:15,840
Speaker 2: Oh, that's interesting.

2032
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 10: This whole rabbit hole you can go down. And there's

2033
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:22,800
Speaker 10: also the other wrinkle to consider is I message, you know,

2034
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 10: because I never really thought of it, like you'd want

2035
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 10: a permanent history of all your messages, but I think

2036
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 10: a lot of people do, and that ends up eating

2037
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 10: up a lot of storage just by virtue of all

2038
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 10: the photos and videos that you're sharing back and forth.

2039
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:39,800
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, see iCloud, the iCloud like messages in

2040
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,639
Speaker 1: the cloud really takes up a lot. Like I think

2041
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm up to like six gigabytes of storage just to

2042
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: my I message, which I don't understand. Why does I

2043
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:48,880
Speaker 1: message take up so much storage?

2044
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 10: Because everybody's sending photos and videos and all that's part

2045
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 10: of your history that you're that you're backing up there.

2046
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 10: And you know, I think it didn't used to be

2047
01:39:57,120 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 10: the case that we were so used to communicating that way,

2048
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:03,160
Speaker 10: but that's how we do it now. And so if

2049
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:05,400
Speaker 10: you if you want to have that full history and

2050
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 10: you don't want to create offline backups on a macro

2051
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:12,479
Speaker 10: PC of your uh, you know, your whole iPhoto history

2052
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 10: then or iPhone history, then you just gonna have to

2053
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:15,639
Speaker 10: pay the price.

2054
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 1: I guess one thing that I always recommend people don't realize,

2055
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:21,920
Speaker 1: and now it actually Google has got Apple has gotten

2056
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 1: hip to this, because I'm looking at my recommendations for

2057
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:28,160
Speaker 1: my iCloud storage and it does say to delete inactive backups.

2058
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 1: A lot of times. If you upgrade your iPhone, it's

2059
01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 1: keeping the old backup of your old iPhone and your

2060
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 1: new backup of your new iPhone, which is basically almost

2061
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 1: like a yeah, so that's interesting.

2062
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 10: I don't I don't think I had that, but when

2063
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 10: I looked on my iPhone, I saw there was, you know,

2064
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,760
Speaker 10: in the iCloud backup section it set iPhone, but then

2065
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 10: I think it would list other devices that you had

2066
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 10: also been backing up there. So yeah, it kind of

2067
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:53,280
Speaker 10: helps to think of like iCloud backup is a backup

2068
01:40:53,320 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 10: of the device, just what's on the device, and then iCloud,

2069
01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 10: whether it's messages in iCloud or iCloud photos, is sort

2070
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:03,679
Speaker 10: of like all the data from all your devices being

2071
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:05,840
Speaker 10: sucked up into this big repository.

2072
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 1: So, Jared, you cover this stuff for a living. Is

2073
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:09,640
Speaker 1: this confusing?

2074
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 3: Yes?

2075
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:13,160
Speaker 10: And that's why it's so you know, they make it

2076
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 10: very easy. It's only a dollar a month to add

2077
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 10: that whatever it is fifty gigabytes. So you know that's

2078
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,240
Speaker 10: how it starts, right, you say, that's just a dollar

2079
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 10: a month, Why don't I. I'll just do this and

2080
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 10: then I don't have to think about it, and now

2081
01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:28,320
Speaker 10: you're in, right, and then it becomes three dollars a

2082
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 10: month once you need a little more storage. And then

2083
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 10: you're like, well, I guess I can do Apple one.

2084
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 10: Since I'm already paying for this, I'll just add this

2085
01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:37,680
Speaker 10: other stuff. And now they got you and you're you're

2086
01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 10: in the Apple ecosystem forever. So just be mindful of

2087
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 10: those things, I guess, and know the choices that you have.

2088
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, a dollar a month, there's like

2089
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 1: over a billion iPhone users in the world, so a

2090
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:52,080
Speaker 1: dollar a month times let's say just half of them

2091
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:55,599
Speaker 1: are using iCloud, that's a lot of money. And this

2092
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:59,320
Speaker 1: is why Apple Services, they call it, is the fastest

2093
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 1: growing money maker for Apple right now.

2094
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:03,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it reminds me.

2095
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 10: You know, over on the Google side, they just boasted

2096
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 10: I think of having I think the number was one

2097
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,599
Speaker 10: hundred million Google one subscribers. Yeah, and they were boasting

2098
01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 10: about that, and I was like, yeah, well, it's because

2099
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 10: you turned off unlimited photo storage. So now everybody ran

2100
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,680
Speaker 10: out of space for photos and Gmail and they have

2101
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:21,040
Speaker 10: to pay. So one way or another, you're going to

2102
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:23,200
Speaker 10: pay somebody for cloud storage. It's just a matter of

2103
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 10: deciding who and when and why and where.

2104
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 1: If you think about it, it's pretty smart. They've got

2105
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: our they've got our memories locked up. And whoever thought

2106
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 1: about this. Hey, let's put a camera on the phone.

2107
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: People take more pictures and then we'll get them free

2108
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 1: for a while and then we'll charge them.

2109
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:41,960
Speaker 2: It's pretty brilliant, actually.

2110
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,599
Speaker 10: Yeah, and we'll make the photo shooting four K at

2111
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 10: sixty free inch or second with Dulby vision. So all

2112
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 10: that stuff uses more data than it used to.

2113
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely, all right, Jared, tell folks how they can find

01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:27,840
Speaker 1: just start at the top here. Mike says, regarding putting

2145
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:31,360
Speaker 1: a TV outdoors, we had an extra fifty five inch

2146
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 1: video that we put out doors. We purchased an excellent

2147
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 1: waterproof cover from Covers and All. The TV has survived

2148
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:41,880
Speaker 1: two So Cal rainy seasons so far. Very heavy duty

2149
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:44,760
Speaker 1: material that fully encloses the TV a lot cheaper than

2150
01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 1: buying a Sunbright or a custom enclosure, comes in many sizes.

2151
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,680
Speaker 2: Great show, Mike, Yeah, we're getting a.

2152
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 1: Lot of messages about people in southern California putting TVs

2153
01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 1: that are not supposed to be outside outside.

2154
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:58,599
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it could be done again.

2155
01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:00,880
Speaker 1: I can't fully recommend it, even though I probably won't

2156
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 1: do it in my backyard. Why not, I've got the

2157
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:08,479
Speaker 1: TV in my garage, SoC says Rich. I'm not sure

2158
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:11,680
Speaker 1: why you're pushing evs. The EV, as we know it

2159
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:15,240
Speaker 1: is dead. The auto companies are losing money by the millions.

2160
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 1: Ford is cutting way back on EV due to losing

2161
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:20,719
Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars each quarter. Toyota and Honda

2162
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:23,720
Speaker 1: are not even emphasizing EV at all. The EV is

2163
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:26,360
Speaker 1: just a SoCal thing. Once you go outside SoCal, everyone

2164
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 1: stays away from EV's.

2165
01:45:27,960 --> 01:45:29,720
Speaker 2: You know what happened to EV's. It hurts. They just

2166
01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:31,040
Speaker 2: got rid of their EV fleet.

2167
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:34,639
Speaker 1: No one wanted to rent them at overseas, they're going

2168
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:36,880
Speaker 1: back to regular gas cars once they realize they've been

2169
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:39,559
Speaker 1: drinking the EV kool aid. And once you learn how

2170
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 1: the lithium ion battery is so toxic to the environment

2171
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't want anything to do with it. Once

2172
01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:46,599
Speaker 1: you learn about the life cycle of the lithium ion

2173
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:50,759
Speaker 1: batteries from mining the rare earth material, manufacturing of the

2174
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: batteries and disposal, you're not doing any favor to the environment. Well,

2175
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: thank you, SoC. I just talk about the news. I

2176
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 1: don't create the news. So I mean, I'm not at

2177
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 1: the car companies. I'm not making these cars. I'm not,

2178
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, directing what's happening at the auto shows. But yes,

2179
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:10,720
Speaker 1: you still have options and it is clearly within your

2180
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:14,080
Speaker 1: rights to go EV or not go EV. Thanks for

2181
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 1: the email, Mark says Rich. I love your show, but

2182
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 1: for God's sake, please make your guests and callers get

2183
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 1: off those speakers in bluetooth. You have no idea what

2184
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: it sounds like on my end, especially your guests. Come

2185
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 1: on now, a tech guest talking on tin cans. Better

2186
01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:29,880
Speaker 1: make them call in on a landline. I have to

2187
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:33,599
Speaker 1: fast forward through all that gibberish. Mark well Mark. Again,

2188
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,320
Speaker 1: I can't control my guests or the callers, but I

2189
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 1: do recommend that they connect a certain way. Land lines

2190
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 1: are very rare these days. I don't know of anyone

2191
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 1: that has one. So yeah, we used to say, like,

2192
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:48,639
Speaker 1: please call in on a landline on a radio show,

2193
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:50,880
Speaker 1: but that's just not the case anymore, Like people just

2194
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 1: don't have access to that. Most of the time, it works, though,

2195
01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:55,800
Speaker 1: and I do listen to the show in my car

2196
01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 1: to hear what it sounds like to you, and it

2197
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:01,720
Speaker 1: sounds pretty good most of the time. Nancy says, we

2198
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:03,680
Speaker 1: have so many tech issues. I'm ready to go back

2199
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:06,519
Speaker 1: to pen and paper. Is it possible for someone to

2200
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:09,599
Speaker 1: mess up technology from their body chemistry? As a child,

2201
01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:11,720
Speaker 1: my mom bought me a watch it didn't work. When

2202
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:13,799
Speaker 1: I got married, my new husband bought me an expensive

2203
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: watch that didn't work. Even though my desktop was less

2204
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:18,920
Speaker 1: than ten feet away, the modem told me it wasn't

2205
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:21,439
Speaker 1: connected to the Internet. I got the same message from

2206
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: my printer, and that was less than two feet from

2207
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 1: the modem. I spent eight hours one day trying to

2208
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 1: attach a file. Am I getting punked?

2209
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 3: Here?

2210
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:31,920
Speaker 1: I could find it and open it, but after closing it,

2211
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:34,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't attach it. According to my computer, it either

2212
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 1: didn't exist or had to be moved.

2213
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:36,760
Speaker 2: Later.

2214
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:38,679
Speaker 1: It was there I learned my computer had a glitch

2215
01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 1: and it wasn't connected to the internet. Nancy, Nancy, you

2216
01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:46,640
Speaker 1: know what it happened sometimes. Tim says, hey, Rich, I

2217
01:47:46,640 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 1: got the fitbit charged six shortly after you reviewed it.

2218
01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:51,680
Speaker 1: Bought it last Wednesday, haven't charged it yet. It is

2219
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:54,400
Speaker 1: still at twenty seven percent. Thanks for the review and recommendation.

2220
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 1: I had been deciding about my next fitbit or another

2221
01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:00,880
Speaker 1: smart watch for some time. It is perfect, Tim, Thank you.

2222
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 2: Tim. Appreciate that.

2223
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:05,639
Speaker 1: Eugene says, I was listening to a recent podcast where

2224
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:08,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned decluttering and a dumpster. Rather than using a

2225
01:48:08,800 --> 01:48:12,320
Speaker 1: dumpster next time, considered donation thrift stores, Goodwill, et cetera,

2226
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:14,720
Speaker 1: et cetera. Somehow, I don't think your stuff would be

2227
01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:19,639
Speaker 1: considered scrap. Enjoy all your podcasts, Eugene, absolutely one percent.

2228
01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:22,400
Speaker 1: I do donate when possible, and believe me, when they

2229
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:24,160
Speaker 1: get some of the stuff I donate at Goodwill, they're

2230
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: scratching their head because they're like, this is like a

2231
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:30,400
Speaker 1: brand new tech item and it's just you know, Bobo says,

2232
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:33,400
Speaker 1: bring it in next time, But yes, I do donate

2233
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:35,640
Speaker 1: whenever possible. The stuff that we threw out in the

2234
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 1: dumpster was mostly trash, so and we did donate a

2235
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 1: lot of stuff from there. Uh okay, that's going to

2236
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 1: be it for the feedback segment. If you want to

2237
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 1: send me your email, just go to rich on tech

2238
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 1: dot TV hit contact, and I love getting your messages.

2239
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 1: I'd do my best to reply or read it on

2240
01:48:52,880 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 1: the show. I can't get to them all, but I

2241
01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 1: do appreciate you sending them in. If you can believe it,

2242
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:58,720
Speaker 1: that's going to do it for this episode. You can

2243
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:01,719
Speaker 1: find links everything I mentioned to richon tech dot TV.

2244
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,200
Speaker 1: Find me on social media at rich on tech. Next week,

2245
01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about the AI reading tool

2246
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:09,639
Speaker 1: that teachers are using that you can use at home

2247
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 1: for your kids, and it is incredible. Thanks so much

2248
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:14,719
Speaker 1: for listening. There are so many ways you can spend

2249
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 1: your time. I appreciate you spending it right here with me.
