1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: Thoughts on Samsung's new Galaxy Buds, another foldable phone, license plates,

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: get emojis, Amazon Day plus FedEx has a new delivery

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: bot that drives all by itself.

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: What's going on. I'm Rich Damiro.

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: about the stuff that I think you should know about.

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: So I'm Rich Dmiro, the tech reporter at KTLA five

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Thanks for watching me there. But this

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: is where I talk about this stuff that I think

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: is really interesting, all from a consumer perspective, all the

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: little stories throughout the tech week that I think are

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: interesting and you should know about. And plus I take

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: your calls. That's the fun part of this show is

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: I will take your calls answer your questions. So if

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: you have real questions about real tech, I Am going

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: to answer them, or at least attempt to answer them,

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: because sometimes you know, I don't know what you're gonna

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: ask me. Maybe I don't know the answers, and so

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: I will do my best to do that. But here's

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: the deal. We are entering an era where the foldable

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: phone is actually a thing. So I was at the

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: Samsung event last week I think it was, and then

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: this weekend in Barcelona, Spain, they're having the Big Mobile

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: World Congress, by the way, a show that I've always

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: wanted to go to that I've never actually gone to,

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: even though I'm obsessed with cell phones, I.

27
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: Know how does that work?

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: But Huawei introduced something called the may X, and I'm

29
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: guessing it's the Mate X, not the Mate ten. I

30
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: don't think they're using iPhones naming conventions here. But the

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: Mate X is a foldable device, so it's a phone

32
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: that also folds into or folds out to become a tablet.

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: So when it's folded up, it's got a six point

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: six inch screen, and then when you open it up,

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: it becomes a tablet that has a eight inch screen.

36
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: And this a little bit different from the one we

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: saw from Samsung because the Wahwei actually opens the opposite way,

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: so the screen on the Wahwei is on the outside.

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: So imagine a book.

40
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: The cover of the book would be the wahweh, whereas

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: with the Samsung device, the pages inside the book would

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: be the Samsung. So the screen is on the inside

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: of the Samsung, it's on the outside of the Wahwei.

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: So personally, I think both are kind of crazy because

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: either way, I feel like we're at a loss here.

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: If you get a grain of sand in between your

47
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: screens on the Samsung, well you've got a problem. And

48
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: with the Wahwei, oh my gosh, I mean your whole

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: phone is just exposed to the elements at all times.

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't put a case on this thing, right,

51
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be curious how these things are gonna

52
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: hold up over a couple of weeks or months or

53
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: even a year of use. But Huawei does say it's

54
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: the world's fastest five G foldable phone, and I thought

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: this was interesting when it's folded and you have it

56
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: in camera mode because there's screens on both sides. The

57
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Huawei shows a viewfinder on both sides, so even subjects

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: in the frame can contribute to the creative process.

59
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: What does that mean.

60
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: There's a screen on both sides, so the people that

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: are taking people you're taking a picture of can actually

62
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: see how they're composed in the screen as well the

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: person behind the camera taking the picture. So Huawei may

64
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: X going to be twenty six hundred dollars when it launches.

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a specific launch date just yet, but

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: it will be this year, and I can't wait to

67
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: get my hands on these things.

68
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: I don't I.

69
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: Love the idea of having a device that works in

70
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: two ways, because a lot of times when you travel,

71
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't like to bring my iPad because it's too

72
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: much work. You have the iPad that like basically is

73
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: good for watching Netflix and that's about it and reading

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a magazine whatever. But for the rest of the time,

75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm using my phone in my computer. So I kind

76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: of like the idea of a device that can unfold,

77
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: but it has to be the right form factor, like

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: a regular phone that also folds out. And I think

79
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: these guys, I mean, i'd say they're getting close, but

80
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: these are very first generation products. So it's just something

81
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: to watch for the future. Mike from Chicago, you're on

82
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: with Rich what's going on? Hey?

83
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: How you doing?

84
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: Man?

85
00:03:53,880 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: I have a question about car mounts for your cell phone. Okay,

86
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: So I recently ordered a wireless car charger mount for

87
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: the for my car, and it seems kind of chinsey

88
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: like when I put it on there and it's charging,

89
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: it just loses power when it's saying it's charging. Do

90
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 3: you recommend any certain ones for that kind of thing,

91
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: because the ones that I've been trying have been giving

92
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: me no luck.

93
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the problem with these things, Mike, is that

94
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: they your phone is basically consuming power faster than this

95
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: wireless charge is able to recharge it.

96
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: So, especially if you're.

97
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: Running GPS, if you're running Android Auto, you notice that

98
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: the power is just not coming through the phone as

99
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: fast as it's depleting it, right, is that what you're experiencing?

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: Well, kind of, because I'm not using like any apps

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: or anything. The only thing I'm pulling off of it

102
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: is maybe iPhone music.

103
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: Oh w interesting, Okay, I like.

104
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: I literally just got this like two days ago, and

105
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: it took like three weeks to come because it came

106
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: from China.

107
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, we'll say no more. That's there's

108
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: your problem, right there? Is there a how are you

109
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: plugging this into your car? How is the power going in?

110
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 3: At first, I tried just the USB port, right, because

111
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: the USB port goes straight from there to the car mount, right,

112
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: and then from there it's supposed to wildly charge your car.

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: So then I was thinking, Okay, maybe that's not giving.

114
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 4: It enough power.

115
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: Let's try the I don't know what that's called the

116
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: like the you know where the car chargers normally go

117
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: right socket that's made for that, yep, yep. So I

118
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 3: switched I got it like an adapter, and I switched

119
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: it to that.

120
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 4: And like as I'm driving, I'm.

121
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: Like, okay, my phone's at seventy three percent. Let's check it.

122
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: In ten minutes, it's at seventy serious, like it says

123
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: it's charging, but it's okay.

124
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: So I just.

125
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: Don't know like where to go, where to look.

126
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: What, you know what I mean, Well, a couple things,

127
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: So this is I don't I'm not a huge fan

128
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: of wireless charging for this reason. I think it's it's

129
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: very hit or miss. It's it's kind of slow, it's

130
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: very inefficient. Now it's at.

131
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: Work, yeah, it's fine.

132
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: You know, you leave it sitting on your desk and

133
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: your phone is just kind of sitting there and it's

134
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: trickle charging.

135
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: But a couple of things I would look at.

136
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: Number one, I would check I think you're on the

137
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: right path of going through the what used to be

138
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: called the cigarette lighter.

139
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: To you know, to the charger.

140
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Right, there's two things this, this wireless charger could be

141
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: a slow charger. You can look at see kind of

142
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: like what the wattages on the packaging if you still

143
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: have that, and see, yeah, that could be the problem.

144
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: Number one, that it's just not fast enough to charge

145
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: the iPhone at a good rate. The second thing is

146
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the USB adapter you're using in the cigarette lighter could

147
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: be not drawing enough power from the you know, it's

148
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: not transmitting enough power. So I know that I've I've

149
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: experimented with these things in the past and there's definitely

150
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: a difference. Like in my wife's car, I have a

151
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: charger for my phone and I had to experiment with

152
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: a few different of these cigarette lighter you know, USB

153
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: adapters to see which one actually charge my phone at

154
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: a rate that was acceptable. So that's what I would

155
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: say is go on Amazon and see if you can

156
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: find like if you're going to seven to eleven at

157
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: the checkout, those are not gonna work, Like those are

158
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: so slow they're not really gonna work. So you have

159
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: to find one that's like either quick Charge three point

160
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: zero or some sort of like look for like Qualcom

161
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: quick Charge or you know, a higher wattage that that

162
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: signifies that this thing is much faster than just the

163
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: standard like one point one, which is like the trickle

164
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: charge USB, Like you want something that's basically like if

165
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: you look at let's see USB cigarette.

166
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: Well, because I have I have a wireless charger like

167
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: next to my bed that Verizon gave me when I

168
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: bought my excess mm hmm, and and that thing's amazing,

169
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: like it works fine.

170
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: Right then you know the one in my car doesn't

171
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: work so well.

172
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: And then also I have a hard time finding amount

173
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: for my car with this phone being I don't know,

174
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: on the rather larger side. Yeah, like every time I

175
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: put it in there, like sag down.

176
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: Well, because you're using you're doing the vent, the car vent. Yeah, yeah,

177
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: those are okay. So the best, the absolute best mounts

178
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: in the world for your car is from a company

179
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: called pro Clip USA. The problem is they're really expensive,

180
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: so I'm talking like eighty bucks for your for your mount.

181
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

182
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Every single car they have gone into that car and

183
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: they have figured out the perfect place where you can

184
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: mount this thing where it attaches to sort of a

185
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: part of your dashboard, like more so than just a

186
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, a peel and stick kind of thing. So

187
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: pro Clip USA that's the best place if you're going

188
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: to keep your phone for a while, and you're keeping

189
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: this car for a while, it's definitely worth the investment.

190
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: And second, you can actually get a mount from them

191
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: that when you put your phone in there. You have

192
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: an iPhone, you said, it literally will snap in. The

193
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: base has the little lightning port, so when you put

194
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: your phone in there, it snaps right into the lightning

195
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: port and it's charging. It's charging nicely. It's such a

196
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: clean setup. That's what I recommend. I switch out phones

197
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: kind of a lot, so I used to use these

198
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot, but now I kind of I don't as much.

199
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: But they are the best setup. And I was just

200
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: buying them every time. I'd switch phones every six months

201
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: to a year, and I'd spend eighty bucks ninety bucks

202
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: on these things, and it got kind of expensive. But

203
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: that's those are the best, So I would check out

204
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: that if you really want a good, clean install, those are.

205
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: The best you can find.

206
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: And that was pro Clip pro Clip USA.

207
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 2: And by the way, they do go on sale every

208
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: once in a while.

209
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: The most I've ever seen is twenty percent off, usually

210
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: on Cyber Monday Black Friday. The best second best you

211
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: can get is fifteen percent off usually on like a

212
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: holiday like Saint Patrick's Day Valentine's Day, and then ten

213
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,359
Speaker 1: percent off. You can usually find a code for that sometimes,

214
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: but definitely sign up on their mailing list and see

215
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: what you can get for you know, a discount code,

216
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: but pro clip USA. Look all right, Mike, thanks for

217
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: calling in from Chicago today.

218
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, thank you man. I've been watching you since

219
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: before when you did WWG and stuff.

220
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

221
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: I appreciate everything you do. Thank you very much. I

222
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: keep up to date, so.

223
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: Thank you cool, thanks for watching. Appreciate it. By bye.

224
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: So last week on the show, I talked about Samsung's

225
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: new Galaxy S ten. I've been using the heck out

226
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: of the ten plus. I will say that I really

227
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: like the Galaxy S ten plus. I think this phone.

228
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I can highly recommend it already I've used it for

229
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: about a week. I can one recommend it as a

230
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: fantastic Android phone. So I will have a full review

231
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: on that next week on KTLA but and probably here

232
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: as well. But I figured I talk about the Galaxy

233
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Buds because at the event I also got a pair

234
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: of the Galaxy Buds, which are sort of Samsung's answer

235
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: to the air pods, And I hate to compare everything

236
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: that way because it's not just like Samsung said, oh

237
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: my gosh, they did AirPods, let's do ear pods or

238
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: Galaxy buds. But the reality is, look, we need these things.

239
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: It's it's a good form factor that just have something

240
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: that pops in your ears. The Galaxy buds actually feel

241
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: very futuristic. If the AirPods were kind of like little

242
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: headphones that were cut off, like the wires were cut off.

243
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Galaxy buds almost feel like something out of the future

244
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: because they're so tiny and you just pop them in

245
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: your ear and they almost like magnetically snap into your ear.

246
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: So I hate anything that goes in my ear when

247
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: it comes to headphones, I really don't like a lot

248
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: of them. So I like things that sit on my ear,

249
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: not things that pop in my ear. But I will

250
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: say the Galaxy buds I really like, and they work

251
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: really well. The pairing is super easy. You pop open

252
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: the case on the Galaxy buds. Immediately your Samsung phone says, hey,

253
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: we notice you've got some Galaxy buds in nearby. Do you

254
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: want to connect? Sure you say yes, shows you how

255
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: much battery you have left on them, and that's it.

256
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, you're off and running. You're you know, literally,

257
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: for me, I was running. So I tried these things

258
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: at the gym. I tried them on the hike, and

259
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: they did not fall out of my ears. The only

260
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: exercise that I thought maybe they might fall out of

261
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: my ears on was when I was on like some

262
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: sort of bench and I was I don't know what

263
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: you call the exercise, but I was basically flying back

264
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: and forward like lifting almost like a sit up. That's

265
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: basically it, but upside down. So and yeah, I don't

266
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: know what that exercise is. I just saw someone else

267
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: at the gym doing it, so I was like, oh,

268
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: maybe I'll do that. I'm sure it's good for something.

269
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing there.

270
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress. But that's the only time I

271
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: felt like they might fall out of my ears, but

272
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: they did not. So on the hike they did not

273
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: fall out. They sound really good. I'm not an audio expert,

274
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: but they sound really nice. They've got this enhanced ambient sound,

275
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: which actually I really like because I can hear what's

276
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: going on around me even when I have these things

277
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: in so a lot of these earbuds. You put them in,

278
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: it's like sh and like you know, suction cups your

279
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: ear and that's it. You can't hear anything else. And

280
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: it almost sounds like it's really a weird sound. You

281
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: sound like what's happening inside your head. I don't like

282
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: that feeling. These do not do that for me, So

283
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: I like that. The case also doubles as a battery,

284
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: so it holds a charge for seven hours. So the

285
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: Galaxy Buds, you put them in there and they recharge

286
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. So if you put them in there

287
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes, they'll give you an hour and a

288
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: half of time of use. And that's about an hour

289
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: more than I would work out. So they also give

290
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: you six hours of Bluetooth streaming, five hours of calls.

291
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: And what I like is this is the best part

292
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: to me is if you have a new Samsung Galaxy

293
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: S ten, it's got that wireless power share on the backside,

294
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: so you can flip your phone over lay your Galaxy

295
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: Buds case with the Galaxy Buds inside on the back,

296
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: and now you can charge your Galaxy buds. As long

297
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: as you have a little charge on your phone, those

298
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: will charge up, no wires necessary, So that's really cool.

299
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: So you basically get wireless charging of your Galaxy buds

300
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: right through your phone. So how does that matter, Well,

301
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: basically ninety nine percent of the time. Well, the AirPods,

302
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I haven't had a problem with those,

303
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: But in the past, every time, without fail, all these

304
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: Bluetooth headphones I'd bring to try out at the gym,

305
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: I would forget to charge them, the battery would be dead, whatever,

306
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: and I'd.

307
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: Get to the gym and that's it. It's like I

308
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: had to go back to my wired earbuds.

309
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: Well, with these, as long as you can, you know,

310
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: maybe give yourself fifteen minutes of leeway at the gym,

311
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, fill up your water bottle, whatever you can

312
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: get at least a little bit of a charge on

313
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: your Galaxy buds and not all is lost, because I

314
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: will tell you I will leave the gym if I

315
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: cannot listen to something on my phone.

316
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: And also the other thing I do.

317
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't know why I do this, but every time

318
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: I pack my gym bag, I always forget one crucial

319
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: aspect and I don't know what it is. I need,

320
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: like a checklist, like Okay, you've got your socks check.

321
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: You've got your undergarments check. You've got your shorts check,

322
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: you've got your shirt check. Oh, you've got your sneakers check.

323
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why I cannot remember to get these things.

324
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: Plus you need, you know, your headphones, your phone, a

325
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: little water, maybe a little protein bar, little pre energy,

326
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: little post most energy, little recovery.

327
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: No, I was kidding.

328
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't know about any of that stuff. I check

329
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: and double check my gym bag, and I still manage

330
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: to forget stuff. I don't even know how I do it.

331
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: So now I actually two things. I'll admit I have

332
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: bought socks at the gym I think three times.

333
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: And I actually now.

334
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: Keep a spare pair of socks in my gym bag

335
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: at all times, because for some reason, those are the

336
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: things I forget the most. And I wear dress socks

337
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: to work, so I can't just wear my socks that

338
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm wearing to work. I think I worked out in

339
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: my dress socks once out of desperation, because I was like,

340
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going home anyway. The Galaxy buds go on

341
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: sale for one hundred and twenty nine to ninety nine.

342
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: They were giving them away with pre orders on the

343
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: S ten. But I just read today that those are

344
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: no longer a thing, so I hope that's not the case.

345
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: I hope that was just a fluke in the system.

346
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: But one hundred and thirty bucks, I think it's worth it.

347
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see more discounts and promotions with

348
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: the Galaxy Buds than we ever saw with the AirPods.

349
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: So the Airpod's kind of held steady at one sixty

350
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: for the two years they've been out. I think Galaxy

351
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: Buds we're gonna see that price go down to ninety

352
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: nine bucks. I'm just predicting this and or some promotions

353
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: with the carriers where if you buy the phone there,

354
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna give you a free pair of Galaxy Buds.

355
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: So be on the lookout for those. Caesar from Long Beach,

356
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich?

357
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: What's going on?

358
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: Uh?

359
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: Nothing much?

360
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 6: Rich?

361
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: You know, let your show? I watch it every day.

362
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: Just always wanted to get more information regarding DVD's movies

363
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: that I have and to put it in my computer.

364
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: I recently started using Plex, where I download my computers

365
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: into my computer. I guess Plex is like a server

366
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 4: that makes a computer into a server, and you can

367
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 4: access your movies everywhere you go with your phone, cell phone, laptop,

368
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: so forth right. The only issue that I've been having is, well,

369
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: first of all, I need more memory because I only

370
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: got like one hundred movies in there, and you start

371
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 4: ticking sticking out my memory.

372
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: Yep.

373
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 4: But I just wanted to see what would you recommend

374
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 4: for me. Well, first of all, the movies are in

375
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: my computer, and my computer have to be turned on

376
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: all the time.

377
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: Yes, did my.

378
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 4: Computer mess up if I leave it on? Could my

379
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: monitors stay on for a while? And I don't know

380
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 4: if that's going to mess.

381
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: Up my monitors or yeah, I means.

382
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 4: Is running day and night.

383
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely not not an ideal situation. But computers

384
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: are designed to stay on for long periods of time,

385
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: so you're not going to necessarily kill your computer. I

386
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: have a little mini server in my place I bought

387
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. It's from Synology. So if

388
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: you really want to get serious with this and have

389
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: all your movies on there, that's probably the best bet.

390
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: That's what most people do. Or you can run an

391
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: old computer as your server if you have one, But

392
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: snology is kind of like the leader in that space.

393
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: You basically buy this little box that it's like two hundred bucks,

394
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: and then you get a hard drive or two hard

395
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: drives preferably, and then the cool thing about the Synology

396
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: is it also serves as a mini backup drive.

397
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: So I have my entire or Google Drive.

398
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: Syncd up to that, and you can have your entire

399
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: drop box synced up to that. So this way, if

400
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: anything ever happened with Google Drive, I have a complete

401
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: backup right here in my office. So that's one option.

402
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Now to answer your question, I would.

403
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: The name of the name of the.

404
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: Unit Sinology, s Ynology, and it's not very expensive. You

405
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: can look online if you type it in. If you

406
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: just literally type in Synology into Amazon, it will give you,

407
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: like the the latest model that most people are buying.

408
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: It's like mine's a couple of years old, so I'd

409
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: give you that one, but it's not it's not really

410
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: the popular one anymore. But if you get that, you

411
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: can install PLEX on it and then you can use

412
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: that as your server. And so it's like basically a

413
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: mini computer. And that's about it. So you have that

414
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: going twenty mine's going twenty four to seven. Unless the

415
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: kids turn it off and then that's it. And then

416
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: I figure that out when I go to drag something

417
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: to it and I'm like, oh, it's not there, and

418
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: I realize that it's turned off. But otherwise, with a computer,

419
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have too many problem with the computer

420
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: being on. I think that the energy consumption is one.

421
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: The secondary thing is your monitor being on all the time.

422
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: There isn't an issue with screen burning if you don't

423
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: have a screen saver. But at the very least I

424
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: would just go into your settings on your computer and

425
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: just have it to your hard drive and your CPU

426
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: either stay awake with you know, network access, or you

427
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: have the monitor just turn off and the computer stays on.

428
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: So just go in and tweak those energy settings and

429
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: you should be fine. But yeah, the way it's working

430
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: is everything's coming off your computer, so your computer has

431
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: to be on for that connection to be made between

432
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: your device and your computer where all the files are

433
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: are housed.

434
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so I know it gets a little complicated.

435
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: But the plex thing is a lot of people like

436
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: it because they have their own stuff. They also some

437
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: people share other people's plexes as well.

438
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: But you know, there's there's a lot of ways you

439
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: can do it.

440
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good solutions for it as well,

441
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Like there's if you want to have your own collection

442
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: of something plex, lets you do that, right.

443
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: I love it because, like I said, I have thousands

444
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 4: of movies on DVD, and I hate looking for a

445
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 4: movie that I always wanted to watch and all of

446
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: a sudden, I know I have access to it on Plex.

447
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 4: Like in Christmas time, you don't.

448
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: Want to be looking for your Christmas movies and then

449
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: you know and putting into the DVD player and so forth,

450
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: and so.

451
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 4: I have stolen too much time. So plex friendly looks there.

452
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: That's so funny because that's like literally the only time

453
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: I use my PLEX is when I is during Christmas.

454
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I know I have Doctor Seuss

455
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: or whatever the Grinch you stole Christmas. I know I

456
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: have Christmas Vacation on there. I've gotten some of them over.

457
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: But it's like it really pains me when I bought

458
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: these things to like buy them again digitally, you know,

459
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: So I just made them digital and now I have them.

460
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 4: Yes, Because I was also doing voodoo for a while,

461
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: buying two dollars for the movie that I have sometimes,

462
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: you know, the screen is not what I want on

463
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: the Pleux, so I gotta go to Vudu. Yep. But

464
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: anyway back to the plex, like just one more thing.

465
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 4: So what you told me, I mean they told me

466
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 4: about the NAS. Is that something good I can use also?

467
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 4: And they ask or NAS or.

468
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: That's that's what I'm talking about. That's that's the NAS. Yeah.

469
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: The NASA's synology is called Network attached storage. So it's

470
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: basically a hard drive that has a network connection and

471
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: the hard drive there's a little bit of a CPO

472
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: in there, there's a little bit of software that runs

473
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: on there. But that's what a NAS is. That's what

474
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: snology is, and so there's several of them out there.

475
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: I think synology is probably the most popular. You can

476
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: build your own, you know, there's a there's a you know,

477
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways to do it, but that's

478
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: what that synology is.

479
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Persfect, thank you so much, answer my questions.

480
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 2: All right, Caesar, have a good day. All right, same

481
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: to you, Bye bye.

482
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 5: Her.

483
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: Amazon has a new feature available to all Prime members

484
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: called Amazon Day. This is something that I have literally

485
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: been talking to my wife about for years saying how

486
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: convenient this would be and how smart this would be,

487
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: and I called it.

488
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: I didn't have Amazon Day. Mine was like Amazon sweep, right.

489
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: So the idea was that you would order stuff throughout

490
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: your week, and I need everything I order immediately, right, Like,

491
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: I understand that Amazon's really fast, but I would say,

492
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: only one percent of orders do I actually need the

493
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: next day or the same day, right. The rest I

494
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: can just wait for. So my idea was, I think

495
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: it's really inefficient for them to keep delivering stuff to

496
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: my house, right, So I thought it would be really

497
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: cool if all throughout the week, if I ordered stuff,

498
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: I would just get all my orders at the end

499
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: of the week, like on Friday or Saturday.

500
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 2: Right.

501
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: Well, now that's an option. It's called Amazon Day, and

502
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: all the stuff you order throughout the week, you can

503
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: pick the day that you want it delivered. So I

504
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: love this idea because a lot of times I don't

505
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: order small, stupid little things on Amazon because I'm like, oh,

506
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: that's such a waste of resources, of driving of you know,

507
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: I only want to place an order for like something

508
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: that's five dollars, like a kitchen utensil.

509
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: Or tool or whatever.

510
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: Well, now you can do that and at the end

511
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: of the week, they'll just kind of group everything together

512
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: that you ordered and ship it to you. And the

513
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: other side of this is that you know what day

514
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: you're getting your packages, which is really cool. So again

515
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: it's called Amazon Day and Amazon Now clearly there's a

516
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: benefit to Amazon because guess what they can now you know,

517
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: have less packages going out on any given day, and

518
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: that saves them money to group things they don't have

519
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: to ship things separately. But for me, I actually think

520
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: it's just a smart idea. It's good for the environment,

521
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: but it's just also smart, like not every package you

522
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: need on the next day or the same day, And

523
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: so you do have the option if you're ordering something

524
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: like let's say you need razors, you ran out and

525
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: you need them like the next day, well you can

526
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: still get them on your Prime. You can you know,

527
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: specify every order if you want it to go on

528
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: your Amazon Day or if you want it to go

529
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, on normal shipping or whatever. But I think

530
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: this is great, great option. It's like one of those

531
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: things that like Amazon is so big that just by

532
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: offering this they will save literally like a million trees

533
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: a month.

534
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: Or something.

535
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: Just by offering this, not everyone's going to take advantage,

536
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: but it is for prime members only. But if you

537
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: want to set up your Amazon Day where you get

538
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: all your deliveries on the same day Amazon dot Com

539
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: slash Amazon Day. Alan from Panoramic City, You're on with

540
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: Rich what's going on and the baiting.

541
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 6: Between an iPhone and an Android? And I don't know

542
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 6: what is better for me?

543
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 2: What do you want to do with your phone?

544
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 6: I want to play games, take a lot of pictures.

545
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 6: I have the Samsum S seven Edge right now. They're

546
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 6: starting to give me a lot of problems. And I

547
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 6: play a lot of games. I surf the net a

548
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 6: lot on the internet, you know, we read a lot

549
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 6: of things, talk play music.

550
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: Well, I mean the difference. I mean, if you already

551
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: have an Android and you're feeling like it's after a

552
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: couple of years, not really living up to its potential.

553
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: There and the S seven, you know, it was a

554
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: good phone, but the software on the older Samsung's has

555
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: definitely left a little bit to be desired.

556
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: For sure.

557
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: I think that you would be fine with switch to

558
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: an iPhone.

559
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 6: Are you?

560
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: Are you opposed to the iPhone in any way? Is

561
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: it's what's your hesitation about that?

562
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 6: I just have little hesitation mainly, you know a lot

563
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 6: of mixed reviews about it, and I don't know what

564
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 6: to believe and what not to believe.

565
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, the difference between iOS and Android

566
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: is Apple kind of controls everything that you do, and

567
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: so you know, they control kind of how the phone works,

568
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: the software, what you can do with that software, what

569
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: you can customize, what you can't customize. But the reality is,

570
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: I think that for ninety nine point nine percent of people,

571
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: they're not really concerned with that. Like the iPhone works

572
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: all the time, like it just always works. It really,

573
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: it's simple, it's it works, It has the best software.

574
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: When it comes to apps and things, you can do

575
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, all the stuff that you're telling

576
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: me you want to do on it is very standard

577
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: iPhone tasks. Right, You've got a lot of accessories for

578
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: the iPhone, and I don't think you're going to see

579
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: the same kind of slow down and issue that you

580
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: see with your Samsung with the iPhone. Now with the

581
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: new Samsung, I think that it's good. But I've been

582
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: testing this new one, the s ten, and it's great.

583
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: But the iPhone is is also a fantastic device. I mean,

584
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: if are you looking at getting the newest iPhone like

585
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: the ten R or okay something like that.

586
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sorry, you're rough.

587
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 6: What do you think of the Android LG.

588
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: I like that one. I've been testing that as well.

589
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't like it as much as the iPhone ten R.

590
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that, I think that the ten R

591
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: is is is a better device.

592
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: So I think.

593
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: The ten R is the x R. That is they

594
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: just call it. It says X but it's ten. I know, yeah, yeah,

595
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: it's it's the same thing. So that's fine. The LG,

596
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, V forty is cool. The the thing I

597
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: like about that is that it has a bunch of cameras.

598
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: You've got the three different cameras on the back so

599
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 1: you can do the wide angle photography, which is kind

600
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: of cool. The iPhone ten R only has one camera

601
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: on the back, so you get but it's it's a

602
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: great phone. I mean, the ten R really is a

603
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: nice device, and I think that some of the headaches

604
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: that you've had with your Samsung you will not have

605
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: with the with the ten R. It just works, It

606
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: charges easily, it's simple, it does wireless charging comes in

607
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of different colors, if that's of interest to you.

608
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: The screen is nice and big, the battery last forever.

609
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 6: That's what I want, my edge. I can't even leave

610
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 6: it on for you know, anything, for time at all

611
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 6: without nothing, you know.

612
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree, And that's that's that's a problem

613
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: with some of the Samsungs in the past.

614
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: The battery.

615
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: The battery got better on the S nine, but the

616
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: S seven was was not very good when it came

617
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: to battery, or the S six was really bad.

618
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

619
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're willing to switch, I think take

620
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: the chance and see. Right now, Apple is giving a

621
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: little bit of bonus cash for the trade ins on

622
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: the iPhone ten R. So if you go into uh

623
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: to the Apple webs and see you can you can

624
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 1: go on there and see how much they'll give you

625
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: for your phone. They're giving you a little bit more

626
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: than he normally would, which is still not a lot.

627
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: You're not going to get a ton for the S seven,

628
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: but you will get you know, I don't know. I

629
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: mean I can look online and see, but you know,

630
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: at least we'll get some sort of trade in and

631
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: that phone is seventy seven hundred and fifty dollars, So

632
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: you can go to the Apple Store too and trade

633
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: it in there. So let's see, so your device is,

634
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: let's see, let me see what your smartphone is. You

635
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: have the let's see Samsung Galaxy S seven. So let

636
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: me just see here Samsung, which model Galaxy capacity. I'm

637
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: guessing that's a thirty two gig do you know?

638
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure it is thirty Okay, so.

639
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: S seven edge you said, or yeah, okay, all right,

640
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: is your smartphone in good condition? You get one hundred

641
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: and twenty five dollars for that phone, okay, So I

642
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: mean that's not bad. I think that's actually a pretty

643
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: good amount for a phone that's going on three years old, right,

644
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: three four years old? But I don't know, take take

645
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: a chance. I mean, see what you think of it.

646
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: I think the ten R is a really solid device.

647
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: I think it's it's the best combination of what Apple

648
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: has to offer. I wouldn't go anything below the ten

649
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: R because the camera's not as good on the previous models.

650
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: So the ten R has a really good camera. And

651
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: I think that you said you like take pictures, so

652
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: I think that'd be good, and you got the big screen.

653
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 6: I just got to so I like to take pictures.

654
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I was told that all the Androids now

655
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 6: are switching the USB connections so that my existing USB

656
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 6: portion everything won't work. Is that true?

657
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: The there's well, okay, so your phone does use US B,

658
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: but it uses what's called micro USB, and the new

659
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: phones use what's called USB C so and the iPhone

660
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: uses lightning. So with the iPhone you will have a

661
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: different connector. So you we'll need to get you know, yeah,

662
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't.

663
00:29:58,840 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 6: Sure about the Android.

664
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I got to replace. Yes you would.

665
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: It uses USB C which your phone uses USB, micro

666
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: USB or USB A. I believe that is so you

667
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't You wouldn't need new courts for that anyway, so

668
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: combine that, you know.

669
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, great and answer my question. Thank you very

670
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 6: much for your time.

671
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: All right, Alan, appreciate you calling in. Thanks so much.

672
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: Have a good day.

673
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 5: Thanks.

674
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 4: So.

675
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: Back in the day, we had phones with batteries that

676
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: seem to last forever. Well, part of the thing was

677
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: that we didn't really use our phones as much. Well

678
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: then we had smartphones, and of course the battery is

679
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: a daily struggle for many of us. Things have gotten

680
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: a lot better with fast charging and wireless charging, and

681
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: just you know, the batteries haven't really changed, but the

682
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: capacity has well now Energizer well, through an exclusive agreement

683
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: with Energizer, this phone company is making a Energizer phone

684
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: called the Powermax P eighteen k pop. And they showed

685
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: it off at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and

686
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: I get it. It's a smartphone whatever. It's got five cameras,

687
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: a six inch screen, it's got Android. But the feature

688
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: everyone's going crazy over is it has an eighteen thousand

689
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: milliamp hour battery, the highest capacity battery ever seen in

690
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: a smartphone, so you get weeks of battery life on

691
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: a single charge.

692
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: So eighteen thousand milliamps. Just to give you an.

693
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: Idea, a phone like maybe like the Galaxy S ten

694
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: probably has about a four thousand milliamp battery, maybe thirty

695
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: five hundred iPhones maybe three thousand something like that, two

696
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: thousand for the smaller one. So you're talking almost six,

697
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, four to six times the battery in a

698
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: regular phone. Now this thing is thick, it's about three

699
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: and a half times as thick as an iPhone. So

700
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: nobody's buying this device for the phone. They're getting it

701
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: for this crazy battery. So the battery lasts up to

702
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: ninety hours for calls, one hundred hours for music, and

703
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: you can watch two days of video on a single charge,

704
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: and in standby mode the battery will last fifty days.

705
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: Now you might be wondering, well, Rich, how long is it.

706
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: Gonna take to actually charge this batteries.

707
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna take like a week to charge it. It

708
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: doesn't say how long to charge, but it does say

709
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: when a full charge is necessary. Users can recharge their

710
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: device quickly thanks to the fast charge function. I thought

711
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: I read somewhere that it yeah, I think it's going

712
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: to take eight hours to charge this thing. But the

713
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: reality is the Energizer phone is just kind of fun.

714
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: It's almost like one of those novelty things. It might

715
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: have specific use case scenarios, like for certain businesses that

716
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: just want a brick and you know, maybe security personnel

717
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: or I don't know, someone that just needs a phone

718
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: that just the most important thing to them is how

719
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: long the battery is gonna last. That's who's gonna buy

720
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: that phone. I don't have a price on the phone

721
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: just yet. Or when it's going to be available. But again,

722
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: it's the Energizer Powermax P eighteen k POP with an

723
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand million battery.

724
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to see this thing.

725
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: Just go ahead and look at the picture of this

726
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: thing online, because would you carry it around? This thing

727
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: would really kind of I think this thing would weigh

728
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: you down. And I think you'd also get flagged at

729
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: TSA for having a battery that big in your phone.

730
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: But on the flip side, I travel a lot and

731
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: I do bring a lot of those backup batteries, so

732
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of the same thing. But anyway, there it

733
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: is the Energizer phone with the largest battery. Definitely fits

734
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: their brand. Speaking of big Western digital brand, sand Disc

735
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: now has a one terabyte micro SD card. The card

736
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: holds one terabyte of information, So this is an unbelievable

737
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: amount of data on one tiny little card. You've seen

738
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: micro SD cards, they are tiny. This is going to

739
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: be four hundred and fifty dollars for a one terabyte card.

740
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing that's very expensive. So it's cool

741
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: that you have a terabyte on a card, but this

742
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: is this is prohibitively expensive. Not just prohibitively expensive. It's

743
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: also exponentially expensive because if you go on Amazon and

744
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: look up prices for a smaller card like a one

745
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: to twenty eight, you can get that for like forty

746
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: five bucks, and sometimes on sale even cheaper. So if

747
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: you look at two fifty six, I think that's even

748
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: like fifty bucks, So five twelve that's kind of expensive.

749
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: That's one hundred and ninety nine dollars. So that's a

750
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: lot of money as well, but still much more reasonable.

751
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: So the reality is you can pop one of these

752
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: cards into I don't know can you pop it into

753
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: I think the Samsungs go up to five twelve capacity.

754
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: I think that's their max for the card, but I

755
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: think theoretically you can put the one terabyte in there.

756
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: But the fact that you can.

757
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: Have a one terabyte card in your device, I mean,

758
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: my laptop has a one terror I don't even think

759
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: it has a one terabyt hard drive. I think it's

760
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: a five hundred gig card drive. Let me see what

761
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: do I have. I gotta I gotta look in my Yeah,

762
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: my hard drive is not even a terabyte. It is

763
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: five hundred gigabytes. So my hard drive on my computer

764
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: is five hundred gigabytes. Imagine if you could just have

765
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: a little oh my gosh, if we can dream for

766
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: a second here, if Apple would ever give us some

767
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: slots on our laptops. Imagine having a little micro SD

768
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: card slot on your laptop. You just popped one of

769
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: these one terabytes in there, and now that's like a

770
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: drive that you just have there at all times. I mean,

771
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: that would be fantastic. And my dream is to have

772
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: I've got two giggle two terabytes of storage on Google Drive.

773
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: And the funny thing is, I cannot organize those two

774
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: terabytes of data because I have no place to download them.

775
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: I can never download two terabytes of data to my

776
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: laptop because it only holds five hundred gigs. So I'm

777
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: sitting here. One of these days, the storage will catch

778
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: up the storage on my laptop, my physical storage will

779
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: catch up to my cloud storage, and I can finally

780
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: go through and organize my Google Drive. Right now, it's

781
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: just a whole mess in there. I've got duplicates, I've

782
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: got stuff thrown in there because I can't organize it.

783
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: I can't run any program that does a ddoup or.

784
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: You know, just anything. I can't get in there and

785
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: organize everything at once.

786
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to the days of more storage

787
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: on our devices. They're there, they're just very expensive. Tasha

788
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: from Inglewood. You're on with Rich.

789
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 5: Hi, Rich, I have a question. I have an iPhone

790
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 5: AT or ten however you want to say it, and I,

791
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 5: if I'm on the phone, I can't send a text

792
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 5: message or answer emails or anything like. It's not allowing

793
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 5: me to access my data. And I call them today

794
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: customer service, and they said, it's a certain type of plan.

795
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 5: It's like a data plan that you can do with

796
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 5: certain phones. But it's weird that I can never do that.

797
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 5: But when other people have other things like T Mobile

798
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 5: and AT and T whatever, they can be on the phone,

799
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 5: receive text messages, send text messages, phones and emails. But

800
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 5: I always get it to where it didn't go through.

801
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 2: Tasha. Are you on Sprint? Yes, okay, that's why.

802
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: So the way their network is devised, and or at

803
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: least the way it used to be, is that you

804
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: cannot use data while you're on the phone. That's just

805
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: the way their network switches over.

806
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: So if you're using.

807
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: A call through their phone, like a you know, if

808
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: you're on a voice call, you cannot access data. That's

809
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: just the way their network is set up. Verizon used

810
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: to be the same way. They're not that way anymore.

811
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: But Sprint is I guess the last holdout since you're

812
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: telling me this, but that's that's the reality of their network.

813
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: That's just the architecture of how it's set up. Now,

814
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: if you are in a Wi Fi area, that should

815
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: not be the case. So if you're if you're on

816
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: your phone and you're in Wi Fi at home and

817
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: you're on a call, you should be able to send

818
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: or browse the web while you're on there.

819
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: Is that not the case?

820
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 5: Well, I haven't tried that yet. I was actually on

821
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 5: the customer service and they pretty much told me the

822
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 5: same thing that you said. You know that if I'm

823
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 5: on it, you can't use your data. But when I

824
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 5: saw that you were alive. Well, maybe he knows some

825
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 5: hack or some you know, way to get around that,

826
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 5: but I think it's pretty much the same thing that

827
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 5: the rep told me today that there was nothing we

828
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 5: could do about it.

829
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's not.

830
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: It's just the architecture of the of the the network

831
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: that they set up. I'm guessing it's interesting that you're

832
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: saying this because I would have thought that they would

833
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: have switched over like everyone else, because now it used

834
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: to be a big differentiator between AT and T and

835
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: Verizon and Sprint is that on AT and T and

836
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: T Mobile you could surf the web while you were

837
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: on the phone, and with you know, with Verizon and

838
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: Sprint you couldn't. That's because their networks were a little

839
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: bit different. But I thought when everyone switched over to

840
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: LTE that that would change. But I guess Sprint must

841
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: still be using something else for their calls, which is

842
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: really interesting to me. I wasn't aware that was still

843
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: an issue with them, but yeah, it definitely that's the

844
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: way their network has been set up historically. So, and

845
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: you have a new phone, which I was going to

846
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: say it could be your phone, but you have the

847
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: brand new ten ar you said, right, or the ten Yeah,

848
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: so it's not your phone. Basically your option is I

849
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: would just try it and Wi fi see what happens.

850
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: So when you're at home, if you're at home right now,

851
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, get on the phone with someone else and

852
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: try to surf the web and see if that works.

853
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: If you're in your WiFi as well, that should work.

854
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: But if you're out and about in the city and

855
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: you're trying to you know, it's I could see where

856
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: it's a problem. If someone's like, hey, you know, let

857
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,479
Speaker 1: me look up this restaurant while I'm on the phone

858
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: with you and you can't. You're like, oh, never mind, let.

859
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 5: Me call you back, right, Or if I'm trying to

860
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 5: receive or spend the text message, it's like I have

861
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 5: to hang up, spend it and then call them back,

862
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 5: you know, And that's just you know, nonproductive for me.

863
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's definitely, that's definitely not ideal.

864
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 5: Yes, it's not good at all. Okay. I just thought,

865
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 5: you know, you, being the genius that you are, that

866
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 5: you know a way around it.

867
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: Well, you can carry around a hot spot with you

868
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: everywhere you go and U and only use I message

869
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: and you know that would help you. But that's I

870
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 1: don't think that seems very reasonable, Tasha.

871
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Okay, Well, it was a pleasure talking

872
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 5: to you, and thank you for confirming what you know

873
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 5: they told me. I just thought it might have been

874
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 5: them just saying, you know, just keep me as a

875
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 5: customer right land the conversation with I'm about to go

876
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 5: to T Mobile, and I am.

877
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: Oh, well, there you go. This might put you over

878
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: the edge. Now your phone, make sure it's compatible with

879
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: T Mobile. If you want to take it over there,

880
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: you can. You can check that. You should be able

881
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: to check that on their website.

882
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 5: So I actually tweeted the other day. I tweeted John

883
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 5: the other day and they get me back within a

884
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 5: half an hour. It was like, let's do it.

885
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 3: Pretty much the other.

886
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: Tasha, I don't know.

887
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: The other one that you might want to check out

888
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: if you're going to a different carrier is Visible.

889
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: Have you heard of them?

890
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 5: Visible?

891
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

892
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: So Visible is run by Verizon. It's forty bucks a

893
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: month for unlimited everything, and you can literally sign up

894
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: through your phone. They will send you a SIM card,

895
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: you pop it into your phone and it's forty dollars unlimited.

896
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 2: So oh wow, Yeah, that's a really good deal.

897
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: The only thing that you need to know is they

898
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: limit your speed to five megabits per second, so if

899
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean anything to you, So basically it's fast

900
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: enough to do all the stuff that you need to do,

901
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: but it's not the fastest. Like you know, on T

902
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: Mobile you'll sometimes get really good speeds in certain places

903
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: like super Fast, other places you may not have service.

904
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: So I find that T Mobile is definitely a little

905
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: bit hit or miss. I think it's gonna be better

906
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: than Sprint, but not as good as Verizon. So just

907
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: just check out Visible and just just google Visible and

908
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: see what it's all about. You could you can search

909
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: Visible ktla and see what my story was on it

910
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: and you can learn more about that. But definitely check

911
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: it out if you're gonna switch.

912
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 5: What do you think about this respect your mobile service?

913
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: I think it's good. It runs on Verizon and hot spots.

914
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: So if you have Verizon, if you have Spectrum Internet

915
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: and you're not planning on giving that up anytime soon,

916
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: you'll you know, you'll save money. It's like, I think

917
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: it's what forty forty bucks a month, forty five a

918
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: month or something. Historically you needed a certain phone to

919
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: use it, So just make sure that your phone is

920
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: compatible with their service, because that may not be. But

921
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: I think if you're if you're gonna stick with Spectrum Internet,

922
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: it's not a bad deal. It's definitely not a bad deal.

923
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: It's just some of your calls are routed through their

924
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: wireless hotspots, which can be hit or missed sometimes so

925
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: but I think overall you'd probably have a fine, a

926
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: fine experience with it. But I check out Visible before

927
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: I did Spectrum Mobile to be honest.

928
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 5: Okay, well I do thank you for the information.

929
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 2: All right, Tasha, I have a good day.

930
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: FedEx is testing a new robot. It's called the FedEx

931
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: same Day Bot, and this didn't really do so well.

932
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: I posted this to my Instagram page if you want

933
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: to see a little video of it. People thought it

934
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,959
Speaker 1: was interesting, but I think we've seen this a lot now.

935
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: Amazon has something similar. We've seen them playing with the drones.

936
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: And the funny thing is we've seen a lot of

937
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: companies kind of experimenting with this technology, but we never

938
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: really see it implemented. So FedEx getting into the game.

939
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: They've got this new same day bot, and what they're

940
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: thinking is that this bot is going to be delivering packages,

941
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: but more like same day orders. So now, the big

942
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: thing with all these companies is that they're all doing

943
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: same day orders and deliveries to compete with the Amazons

944
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: of the world and the Postmates and the Amazon Prime. Now,

945
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: so FedEx is going to try this out with AutoZone

946
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: lows Pizza Hut, Target, Walgreens, and Walmart, and you would

947
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: place an order at one of those places and they

948
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: would use this bot to get the order to your house.

949
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: And it says that on average, more than sixty percent

950
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: of merchants customers live within three miles of a store location.

951
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: So there is an opportunity they're saying for on demand,

952
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: hyperlocal delivery, and I agree. I mean, half the time

953
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: you're ordering stuff like I ordered razors the other day

954
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: on Amazon because they were twelve dollars cheaper on Amazon

955
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: than they were at CVS. I went into CVS and

956
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: it's like now I did a price check and they're

957
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: super expensive. So the reality is if one of these

958
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: companies can offer me a cheaper price that competes with Amazon,

959
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: and I can have it delivered in a couple of

960
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: hours by this little robot, of course I'm on board.

961
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: Right now, we are in the early stages of delivery

962
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: right Amazon is owning the business, but that cannot go

963
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: on forever. These other companies are getting very smart about hey,

964
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: we've got the stock right here, literally within three miles

965
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: of your house. Why are you ordering something from Seattle

966
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: that's being shipped from Louisville that is now coming to

967
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: your house on a FedEx truck when literally it's a

968
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: mile down the road and we can cut out that

969
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: whole middleman process and get you this thing. The problem

970
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: is a lot of times it's more expensive, and it's

971
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: actually cheaper to order from Amazon even though the product

972
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: is coming from miles and miles away. So that will

973
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: change over time as the economy sort of shifts here.

974
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: But this little same day bot is being developed by

975
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: the same guy that invented the segue, so it's got

976
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: some really good smarts inside. It can go over you know,

977
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: they showed it going over a pothole. They showed it

978
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: climbing stairs. I also saw one of these things on

979
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: display at CES if you want to check out that

980
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: that was called the Animal, and that one was pretty

981
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: cool because it actually took the package out of the

982
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: top of the Actually it kind of slid the package

983
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: out of the top of the device that like leaned

984
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: over and popped it out. That was really cool. FedEx

985
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: has not shown how this thing gets the package to

986
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: your door, like how you get it out of it.

987
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: It opens up so you can see what's inside, which

988
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: would lead me to believe it can only have one

989
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: thing in there at a time, but they showed it

990
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: on Jimmy Fallon and he just reached in and pulled

991
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: out a package, actually pulled out a pizza, which personally,

992
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 1: I think is probably the coolest possible Back to the

993
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: Future solution of these things, because to me, a hot

994
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: pizza being delivered by a robot to my front door

995
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: is like absolutely mind boggling. The only thing better than that,

996
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is that rehydrator they had on Back

997
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: to the Future where she put the tiny pizza in,

998
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 1: pressed a button andh it was like, you know, became

999
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: a big pizza.

1000
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: That was so cool to me.

1001
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: So FedEx is going to test this spot this summer

1002
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: in select markets including Memphis, Tennessee, pending final approval from

1003
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: the city, but it seems like at this point robots

1004
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: delivering packages to your home will be a thing in

1005
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: the future, just like foldable phones. Just want to make

1006
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: you aware of a little, tiny addition, but very useful

1007
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: addition to the Google Home app.

1008
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: If you have a Google.

1009
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: Home, this is they're making it so it's much easier

1010
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: to control all your devices. So they've redesigned this app

1011
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: a thousand times since it came out, and according to

1012
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: Android Police, where I saw this, you can now control

1013
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: lights and plugs from different manufacturers and integrate them right

1014
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: into your routine. So you can do all that stuff already, right,

1015
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: But what they're adding now is the ability to change

1016
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: the color of your light. So the first time I

1017
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: saw this was actually on the Google Home Hub. I

1018
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: thought it was really cool because it gives you a

1019
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: look at all the devices in your home, and when

1020
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: you press a set of lights, it gives you a

1021
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: whole little pellette where you can choose the color for

1022
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: those lights. Well, now they're doing that on the Google

1023
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: Home app, which is really cool because it used to

1024
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: be where every light was different. If you had a

1025
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: Fillip's Hue light, you'd have to open up the Hue

1026
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: app to change the color, right, if you had a

1027
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: Lifix bulb, you'd have to open up the Lifix app

1028
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: to change the color. I've been testing these new c

1029
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: By ge bulbs, which I love, and the you had

1030
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: to you actually use those through the Google Home app,

1031
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: but you couldn't change their color except with your voice.

1032
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: So now everything is available with your voice and also

1033
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: the color palette, so again if you go into the

1034
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: Google Home app and you select one of your light bulbs,

1035
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: when of your smart light bulbs, it will now pop

1036
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: up a little color palette at the bottom. It says

1037
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: change color. You can now tap that and you'll get

1038
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: all the colors that that light supports, or not all

1039
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: of them, because the Phillips bulbs support sixteen million colors

1040
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: or something insane like that. So according to the Android

1041
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: Police article, you get forty two different shades of the color.

1042
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: Some of the bulbs I have only changed, like from

1043
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: white to kind of bright white to candle light, so

1044
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: whatever it sort of supports in a smaller way, you'll

1045
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: get that selection. But it's really cool because theoretically you

1046
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: can change all the lights in your house, no matter

1047
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: what brands they are, all at the same time now

1048
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: using the Google Home app. So not sure if you're

1049
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: a Lift or Uber user, but I'm a big Uber

1050
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: user and my wife and I always have this debate.

1051
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: She loves Lyft and I always use Uber and she's

1052
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 1: always telling me, oh, well, this week I have fifty

1053
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: percent off my rides in Lyft, or ooh, this week

1054
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: I have ten percent off my rides or ooh this

1055
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: week I have a free upgrade to premium. I never

1056
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: got any discounts from Uber. I mean they just it's

1057
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: like the price, it is there, it is Back in

1058
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: the day when they first started, there was lots of

1059
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: promos with Uber, and that has quickly dried up. But

1060
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: according to an article in tech Crunch, through the Information,

1061
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: they say that Lyft has been doing discounts and it's

1062
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: been working. So apparently my wife was not the only

1063
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: one getting these discounts. Through discounts, Lyft got an additional

1064
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: four percent of the US ride share market. They now

1065
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: hold thirty four percent of the market, which was actually

1066
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: bigger than I thought. Uber claims the remaining sixty six

1067
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: percent according to this article. But these discounts seem to work,

1068
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: So of course, after I read this article, I was like, well,

1069
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: maybe I'll give Lift another chance, because some people say

1070
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: they like the drivers better or the cars better.

1071
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 2: And I did so.

1072
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: I took Lyft the other night to a little gathering

1073
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: eye into and sure enough, the next morning, I got

1074
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,959
Speaker 1: a discount ten percent off all my rides on Lyft

1075
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: for the next.

1076
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: Don't know a week or so.

1077
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: So I love discounts, I love promos. I love a

1078
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: little bit of good competition. The thing that is keeping

1079
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: me using Uber is that Uber has Uber rewards, and

1080
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to get to that tier where I

1081
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: finally get some better drivers, because once you get to

1082
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: a certain tier, they pair you up with better five

1083
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: star drivers.

1084
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm trying to do. That's my goal.

1085
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: But if I'm using the discounts in Lyft to get

1086
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: cheaper rates, I miss out on my points for Uber.

1087
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: So it's a little competition between these companies. But I

1088
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: guess my bottom line to you is if you like discounts,

1089
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: try out the lift app one more time and they

1090
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: will probably send you a little discount off your future rides. Finally,

1091
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 1: you've heard of personalized plates. Now get ready for emojis

1092
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: on license plates over in Australia Queensland specifically, they are

1093
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: going to allow drivers to get a ojis on their

1094
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: personalized license plates. So I don't know what I think

1095
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: of this. I mean, it's cool, and I didn't know emojis.

1096
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 2: Were like here forever. I guess they are.

1097
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: But to begin with, before you you know, think that

1098
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: they're just going to put the worst possible symbols on

1099
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: their license plate, like that little what is that chocolate

1100
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: chocolate frozen yogurt, you know that frozen yogurt swirl something

1101
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: like that. Right to begin with, there's only gonna be

1102
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: five symbols available. They include the laugh out loud, which

1103
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: is the crying face crying laugh emoji, the winking face emoji,

1104
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: the cool sunglasses emoji, the heart eyes, and the standard

1105
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 1: smiling face. And you got to pay for this anywhere

1106
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: between one hundred and sixty and five hundred dollars in

1107
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: Australian dollars. No idea what it is in American dollars,

1108
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: but that's a lot. I mean you're going to pay

1109
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: a premium. And of course, you know people are debating

1110
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: if this is good or bad. I think it's fun.

1111
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about it. In California, we

1112
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: do have a version of this. We are allowed to

1113
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: put on their like a heart. I've seen a hand.

1114
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what else there is, but there are

1115
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: a large selection of personalized options available in California. Every

1116
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: state's a little bit different. But the reality is, I

1117
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: don't think it's worth it. It's a lot of money. I'm

1118
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 1: too cheap to buy personalized plates. I'd love to have them,

1119
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: but every time I pay my renewal for the DMV,

1120
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, Nope, not paying a nickel more for that,

1121
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: No way, especially because the rates in California just went

1122
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: up by like one hundred bucks last year. So I

1123
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: think it's cool. I think it's fun. It shows off

1124
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: your personality. I always love I love deciphering personalized plates

1125
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: when I'm out there on the road, I'm like, do

1126
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: they mean that they are a risk taker or a

1127
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,959
Speaker 1: rug maker? You know, like you see these little letters

1128
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, you can't really tell exactly what they mean.

1129
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 2: But but I think the emojis are kind of fun.

1130
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, five emojis to start, and I don't know,

1131
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: I think it's funny for the police officers that have

1132
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 1: to write up reports when these cars, you know, get

1133
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: traffic tickets or whatever. It's like, oh, the winking face

1134
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 1: emoji seven to seven, nine to.

1135
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 2: One four.

1136
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: Got into a car accident. We got to write that

1137
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: one up. So anyway, now, you know, if you go

1138
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: to Australia, well look at that. That's gonna wrap up

1139
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: today's show. Thanks so much for listening to the podcast.

1140
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 2: Do appreciate it.

1141
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: Love the feedback on the podcast, the ratings, the reviews,

1142
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. So if you're on iTunes, definitely

1143
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: give it the old rating and review. Lots of you

1144
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: have done that. Thank you so much. I think we're

1145
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: right at four and a half five stars something like that.

1146
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: Thanks to everyone who's purchased the book. I know I

1147
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: sound like a broken record, but I really, really, really

1148
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: appreciate it. The book is titled one hundred and one

1149
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. It's available on Amazon,

1150
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: and it will help you learn your iPhone a little

1151
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: bit more. And speaking of the book, and four and

1152
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: a half stars, five stars holding steady, it has gotten

1153
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot of reviews on Amazon, and it's holding steady

1154
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: at four and a half stars, which just means so

1155
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: much to me because it means that.

1156
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 2: All the hard work that I put into that book and.

1157
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: All the thoughts that I had about helping people with

1158
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: that book really worked. So there's a couple of one

1159
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: stars on there. I'm a little suspect to those because

1160
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 1: some of the one star reviews are kind of funny

1161
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: to me because I'm like, ah, that doesn't make any sense.

1162
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: But the five four and a half five stars do

1163
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: appreciate that if you've gotten a copy of the book,

1164
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: if you leave a review, that would be great. If

1165
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: you tell your friends, that's even better. Now, some of

Speaker 1: And what I do is I come up with this show,

1173
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,240
Speaker 1: so you get the phone calls, you get the daily

1174
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: or the weekly tech tidbits, and usually the episode comes

1175
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 1: out on Friday, where I just kind of talk about

1176
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: all this stuff I think you should know. I will

1177
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: tell you my theory as a tech reporter. Right, there

1178
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: are lots of tech folks out there, and I'm friends

1179
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: with a lot of them. I love what we do.

1180
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: But the reality is what I try to do, and

1181
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: this is something that's a little bit different than a

1182
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: lot of other folks out there, is I try to

1183
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: just tell you the real deal. So I'm not sitting

1184
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: there as the you know, expert star reviewer of the

1185
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: Galaxy S ten. Right, You've got plenty of people that

1186
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: sit there and you know, look at the specs and

1187
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: analyze this and figure out. You know, DxO Mark is

1188
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: going to look at the cameras. But like I'm telling you,

1189
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: as a real person, as a person that has seen

1190
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: a lot of different devices and a lot of technology,

1191
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: is this app worth it? Is this phone worth it?

1192
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: Is this something you should be concerned about? Is this

1193
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: a good deal? Is this not a good deal? That's

1194
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 1: where I'm coming from. So I love giving you guys

1195
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: my opinion on this stuff. But again I'm coming from

1196
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: a place of I'm a consumer, you're a consumer. I'm

1197
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: just trying to arm you with the information because you're

1198
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: busy at your job every day. I understand that I'm

1199
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 1: busy following all this tech stuff every day. So when

1200
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: I talk about an app or if I tell you

1201
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: about something, it's because I think think it's interesting and

1202
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: I think you should know about it. I think you

1203
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: should at least be aware of it. So that's my

1204
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: theory behind what I do. Not everyone's like that. A

1205
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of people a lot of flash, not a lot

1206
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: of substance. And I'm not throwing shade at my fellow

1207
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: tech reporters, but I'm just telling you, you know, if

1208
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: you see me as someone who is. You know, you

1209
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: see me making mistakes here, you see the audio levels

1210
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 1: are messed up, you see this podcast evolving. It's because

1211
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm giving you. I'm showing you the behind the scenes

1212
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: process of what it takes to actually be a working

1213
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: tech reporter in this world. So not everything I do

1214
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: is going to be perfect, Not every picture I take

1215
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: is going to be great, Not every live show I

1216
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: do is going to be one hundred percent, you know,

1217
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: buttoned up. It's because I'm showing you what it's like

1218
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: to actually do this stuff, and I'm learning as they

1219
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: go along, and I'm also kind of imparting the information

1220
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 1: that I think you should know. So that's my spiel.

1221
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: I'm sticking to it. If you want links to everything

1222
