0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>get emojis, Amazon Day plus FedEx has a new delivery

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>bot that drives all by itself.

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 2>What's going on. I'm Rich Damiro.

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.080
<v Speaker 1>about the stuff that I think you should know about.

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>So I'm Rich Dmiro, the tech reporter at KTLA five

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles. Thanks for watching me there. But this

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>is where I talk about this stuff that I think

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>is really interesting, all from a consumer perspective, all the

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.279
<v Speaker 1>little stories throughout the tech week that I think are

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>interesting and you should know about. And plus I take

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>your calls. That's the fun part of this show is

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I will take your calls answer your questions. So if

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you have real questions about real tech, I Am going

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:51.919
<v Speaker 1>to answer them, or at least attempt to answer them,

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes you know, I don't know what you're gonna

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>ask me. Maybe I don't know the answers, and so

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I will do my best to do that. But here's

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the deal. We are entering an era where the foldable

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>phone is actually a thing. So I was at the

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Samsung event last week I think it was, and then

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>this weekend in Barcelona, Spain, they're having the Big Mobile

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>World Congress, by the way, a show that I've always

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go to that I've never actually gone to,

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>even though I'm obsessed with cell phones, I.

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Know how does that work?

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>But Huawei introduced something called the may X, and I'm

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 1>guessing it's the Mate X, not the Mate ten. I

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think they're using iPhones naming conventions here. But the

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Mate X is a foldable device, so it's a phone

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>that also folds into or folds out to become a tablet.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>So when it's folded up, it's got a six point

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>six inch screen, and then when you open it up,

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>it becomes a tablet that has a eight inch screen.

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And this a little bit different from the one we

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>saw from Samsung because the Wahwei actually opens the opposite way,

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>so the screen on the Wahwei is on the outside.

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>So imagine a book.

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>The cover of the book would be the wahweh, whereas

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>with the Samsung device, the pages inside the book would

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>be the Samsung. So the screen is on the inside

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Samsung, it's on the outside of the Wahwei.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>So personally, I think both are kind of crazy because

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>either way, I feel like we're at a loss here.

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>If you get a grain of sand in between your

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>screens on the Samsung, well you've got a problem. And

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>with the Wahwei, oh my gosh, I mean your whole

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>phone is just exposed to the elements at all times.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can't put a case on this thing, right,

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna be curious how these things are gonna

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>hold up over a couple of weeks or months or

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>even a year of use. But Huawei does say it's

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 1>the world's fastest five G foldable phone, and I thought

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>this was interesting when it's folded and you have it

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>in camera mode because there's screens on both sides. The

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Huawei shows a viewfinder on both sides, so even subjects

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>in the frame can contribute to the creative process.

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean.

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>There's a screen on both sides, so the people that

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.959
<v Speaker 1>are taking people you're taking a picture of can actually

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>see how they're composed in the screen as well the

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>person behind the camera taking the picture. So Huawei may

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>X going to be twenty six hundred dollars when it launches.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a specific launch date just yet, but

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>it will be this year, and I can't wait to

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>get my hands on these things.

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't I.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Love the idea of having a device that works in

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>two ways, because a lot of times when you travel,

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't like to bring my iPad because it's too

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>much work. You have the iPad that like basically is

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>good for watching Netflix and that's about it and reading

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>a magazine whatever. But for the rest of the time,

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm using my phone in my computer. So I kind

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>of like the idea of a device that can unfold,

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>but it has to be the right form factor, like

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a regular phone that also folds out. And I think

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>these guys, I mean, i'd say they're getting close, but

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>these are very first generation products. So it's just something

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>to watch for the future. Mike from Chicago, you're on

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>with Rich what's going on? Hey?

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 3>How you doing?

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 4>Man?

0:03:53.880 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I have a question about car mounts for your cell phone. Okay,

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 3>So I recently ordered a wireless car charger mount for

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 3>the for my car, and it seems kind of chinsey

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 3>like when I put it on there and it's charging,

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.599
<v Speaker 3>it just loses power when it's saying it's charging. Do

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 3>you recommend any certain ones for that kind of thing,

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 3>because the ones that I've been trying have been giving

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 3>me no luck.

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, here's the problem with these things, Mike, is that

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 1>they your phone is basically consuming power faster than this

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>wireless charge is able to recharge it.

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>So, especially if you're.

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Running GPS, if you're running Android Auto, you notice that

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the power is just not coming through the phone as

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>fast as it's depleting it, right, is that what you're experiencing?

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, kind of, because I'm not using like any apps

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 3>or anything. The only thing I'm pulling off of it

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 3>is maybe iPhone music.

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh w interesting, Okay, I like.

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 3>I literally just got this like two days ago, and

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 3>it took like three weeks to come because it came

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 3>from China.

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, all right, we'll say no more. That's there's

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>your problem, right there? Is there a how are you

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>plugging this into your car? How is the power going in?

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:19.239
<v Speaker 3>At first, I tried just the USB port, right, because

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 3>the USB port goes straight from there to the car mount, right,

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 3>and then from there it's supposed to wildly charge your car.

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 3>So then I was thinking, Okay, maybe that's not giving.

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:29.679
<v Speaker 4>It enough power.

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Let's try the I don't know what that's called the

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 3>like the you know where the car chargers normally go

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 3>right socket that's made for that, yep, yep. So I

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.239
<v Speaker 3>switched I got it like an adapter, and I switched

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 3>it to that.

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.479
<v Speaker 4>And like as I'm driving, I'm.

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Like, okay, my phone's at seventy three percent. Let's check it.

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 3>In ten minutes, it's at seventy serious, like it says

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 3>it's charging, but it's okay.

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 2>So I just.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 4>Don't know like where to go, where to look.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>What, you know what I mean, Well, a couple things,

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>So this is I don't I'm not a huge fan

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>of wireless charging for this reason. I think it's it's

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>very hit or miss. It's it's kind of slow, it's

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>very inefficient. Now it's at.

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Work, yeah, it's fine.

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, you leave it sitting on your desk and

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>your phone is just kind of sitting there and it's

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>trickle charging.

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>But a couple of things I would look at.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Number one, I would check I think you're on the

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>right path of going through the what used to be

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>called the cigarette lighter.

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 2>To you know, to the charger.

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Right, there's two things this, this wireless charger could be

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 1>a slow charger. You can look at see kind of

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>like what the wattages on the packaging if you still

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>have that, and see, yeah, that could be the problem.

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Number one, that it's just not fast enough to charge

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone at a good rate. The second thing is

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the USB adapter you're using in the cigarette lighter could

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>be not drawing enough power from the you know, it's

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 1>not transmitting enough power. So I know that I've I've

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 1>experimented with these things in the past and there's definitely

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a difference. Like in my wife's car, I have a

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>charger for my phone and I had to experiment with

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a few different of these cigarette lighter you know, USB

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>adapters to see which one actually charge my phone at

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a rate that was acceptable. So that's what I would

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>say is go on Amazon and see if you can

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>find like if you're going to seven to eleven at

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the checkout, those are not gonna work, Like those are

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>so slow they're not really gonna work. So you have

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to find one that's like either quick Charge three point

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>zero or some sort of like look for like Qualcom

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>quick Charge or you know, a higher wattage that that

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>signifies that this thing is much faster than just the

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>standard like one point one, which is like the trickle

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>charge USB, Like you want something that's basically like if

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you look at let's see USB cigarette.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, because I have I have a wireless charger like

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 3>next to my bed that Verizon gave me when I

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 3>bought my excess mm hmm, and and that thing's amazing,

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 3>like it works fine.

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Right then you know the one in my car doesn't

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 4>work so well.

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 3>And then also I have a hard time finding amount

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 3>for my car with this phone being I don't know,

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 3>on the rather larger side. Yeah, like every time I

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 3>put it in there, like sag down.

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, because you're using you're doing the vent, the car vent. Yeah, yeah,

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>those are okay. So the best, the absolute best mounts

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>in the world for your car is from a company

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>called pro Clip USA. The problem is they're really expensive,

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>so I'm talking like eighty bucks for your for your mount.

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing.

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Every single car they have gone into that car and

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>they have figured out the perfect place where you can

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>mount this thing where it attaches to sort of a

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.439
<v Speaker 1>part of your dashboard, like more so than just a

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, a peel and stick kind of thing. So

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>pro Clip USA that's the best place if you're going

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to keep your phone for a while, and you're keeping

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>this car for a while, it's definitely worth the investment.

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>And second, you can actually get a mount from them

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that when you put your phone in there. You have

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>an iPhone, you said, it literally will snap in. The

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>base has the little lightning port, so when you put

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 1>your phone in there, it snaps right into the lightning

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>port and it's charging. It's charging nicely. It's such a

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>clean setup. That's what I recommend. I switch out phones

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of a lot, so I used to use these

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot, but now I kind of I don't as much.

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>But they are the best setup. And I was just

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>buying them every time. I'd switch phones every six months

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to a year, and I'd spend eighty bucks ninety bucks

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>on these things, and it got kind of expensive. But

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>that's those are the best, So I would check out

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that if you really want a good, clean install, those are.

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 2>The best you can find.

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>And that was pro Clip pro Clip USA.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.839
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, they do go on sale every

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 2>once in a while.

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>The most I've ever seen is twenty percent off, usually

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>on Cyber Monday Black Friday. The best second best you

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>can get is fifteen percent off usually on like a

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>holiday like Saint Patrick's Day Valentine's Day, and then ten

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.359
<v Speaker 1>percent off. You can usually find a code for that sometimes,

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>but definitely sign up on their mailing list and see

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>what you can get for you know, a discount code,

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>but pro clip USA. Look all right, Mike, thanks for

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.319
<v Speaker 1>calling in from Chicago today.

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Hey, hey, thank you man. I've been watching you since

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 3>before when you did WWG and stuff.

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow.

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate everything you do. Thank you very much. I

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 3>keep up to date, so.

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.839
<v Speaker 2>Thank you cool, thanks for watching. Appreciate it. By bye.

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>So last week on the show, I talked about Samsung's

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.839
<v Speaker 1>new Galaxy S ten. I've been using the heck out

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of the ten plus. I will say that I really

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>like the Galaxy S ten plus. I think this phone.

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I can highly recommend it already I've used it for

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>about a week. I can one recommend it as a

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>fantastic Android phone. So I will have a full review

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>on that next week on KTLA but and probably here

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>as well. But I figured I talk about the Galaxy

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Buds because at the event I also got a pair

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>of the Galaxy Buds, which are sort of Samsung's answer

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>to the air pods, And I hate to compare everything

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.839
<v Speaker 1>that way because it's not just like Samsung said, oh

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, they did AirPods, let's do ear pods or

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy buds. But the reality is, look, we need these things.

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a good form factor that just have something

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>that pops in your ears. The Galaxy buds actually feel

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.079
<v Speaker 1>very futuristic. If the AirPods were kind of like little

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>headphones that were cut off, like the wires were cut off.

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy buds almost feel like something out of the future

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>because they're so tiny and you just pop them in

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>your ear and they almost like magnetically snap into your ear.

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.559
<v Speaker 1>So I hate anything that goes in my ear when

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>it comes to headphones, I really don't like a lot

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>of them. So I like things that sit on my ear,

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>not things that pop in my ear. But I will

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>say the Galaxy buds I really like, and they work

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>really well. The pairing is super easy. You pop open

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the case on the Galaxy buds. Immediately your Samsung phone says, hey,

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>we notice you've got some Galaxy buds in nearby. Do you

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>want to connect? Sure you say yes, shows you how

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>much battery you have left on them, and that's it.

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Next thing you know, you're off and running. You're you know, literally,

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>for me, I was running. So I tried these things

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>at the gym. I tried them on the hike, and

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>they did not fall out of my ears. The only

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 1>exercise that I thought maybe they might fall out of

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 1>my ears on was when I was on like some

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of bench and I was I don't know what

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you call the exercise, but I was basically flying back

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and forward like lifting almost like a sit up. That's

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>basically it, but upside down. So and yeah, I don't

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>know what that exercise is. I just saw someone else

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>at the gym doing it, so I was like, oh,

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'll do that. I'm sure it's good for something.

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.320
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing there.

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, I digress. But that's the only time I

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>felt like they might fall out of my ears, but

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.199
<v Speaker 1>they did not. So on the hike they did not

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>fall out. They sound really good. I'm not an audio expert,

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>but they sound really nice. They've got this enhanced ambient sound,

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.960
<v Speaker 1>which actually I really like because I can hear what's

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>going on around me even when I have these things

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>in so a lot of these earbuds. You put them in,

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.199
<v Speaker 1>it's like sh and like you know, suction cups your

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>ear and that's it. You can't hear anything else. And

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>it almost sounds like it's really a weird sound. You

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>sound like what's happening inside your head. I don't like

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>that feeling. These do not do that for me, So

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I like that. The case also doubles as a battery,

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>so it holds a charge for seven hours. So the

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy Buds, you put them in there and they recharge

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. So if you put them in there

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen minutes, they'll give you an hour and a

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>half of time of use. And that's about an hour

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>more than I would work out. So they also give

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>you six hours of Bluetooth streaming, five hours of calls.

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.839
<v Speaker 1>And what I like is this is the best part

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to me is if you have a new Samsung Galaxy

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>S ten, it's got that wireless power share on the backside,

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 1>so you can flip your phone over lay your Galaxy

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Buds case with the Galaxy Buds inside on the back,

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and now you can charge your Galaxy buds. As long

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>as you have a little charge on your phone, those

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>will charge up, no wires necessary, So that's really cool.

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>So you basically get wireless charging of your Galaxy buds

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>right through your phone. So how does that matter, Well,

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>basically ninety nine percent of the time. Well, the AirPods,

0:13:58.200 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll be honest, I haven't had a problem with those,

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>But in the past, every time, without fail, all these

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Bluetooth headphones I'd bring to try out at the gym,

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I would forget to charge them, the battery would be dead, whatever,

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'd.

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Get to the gym and that's it. It's like I

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 2>had to go back to my wired earbuds.

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, with these, as long as you can, you know,

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe give yourself fifteen minutes of leeway at the gym,

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, fill up your water bottle, whatever you can

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>get at least a little bit of a charge on

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>your Galaxy buds and not all is lost, because I

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>will tell you I will leave the gym if I

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>cannot listen to something on my phone.

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 2>And also the other thing I do.

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I do this, but every time

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I pack my gym bag, I always forget one crucial

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>aspect and I don't know what it is. I need,

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>like a checklist, like Okay, you've got your socks check.

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>You've got your undergarments check. You've got your shorts check,

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you've got your shirt check. Oh, you've got your sneakers check.

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I cannot remember to get these things.

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Plus you need, you know, your headphones, your phone, a

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>little water, maybe a little protein bar, little pre energy,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>little post most energy, little recovery.

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 2>No, I was kidding.

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about any of that stuff. I check

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and double check my gym bag, and I still manage

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 1>to forget stuff. I don't even know how I do it.

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>So now I actually two things. I'll admit I have

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>bought socks at the gym I think three times.

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 2>And I actually now.

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Keep a spare pair of socks in my gym bag

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>at all times, because for some reason, those are the

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 1>things I forget the most. And I wear dress socks

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to work, so I can't just wear my socks that

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm wearing to work. I think I worked out in

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>my dress socks once out of desperation, because I was like,

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going home anyway. The Galaxy buds go on

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>sale for one hundred and twenty nine to ninety nine.

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>They were giving them away with pre orders on the

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>S ten. But I just read today that those are

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>no longer a thing, so I hope that's not the case.

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I hope that was just a fluke in the system.

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But one hundred and thirty bucks, I think it's worth it.

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we're gonna see more discounts and promotions with

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the Galaxy Buds than we ever saw with the AirPods.

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 1>So the Airpod's kind of held steady at one sixty

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>for the two years they've been out. I think Galaxy

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Buds we're gonna see that price go down to ninety

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>nine bucks. I'm just predicting this and or some promotions

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 1>with the carriers where if you buy the phone there,

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna give you a free pair of Galaxy Buds.

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>So be on the lookout for those. Caesar from Long Beach,

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>you're on with Rich?

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>What's going on?

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 4>Nothing much?

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 6>Rich?

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 4>You know, let your show? I watch it every day.

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Just always wanted to get more information regarding DVD's movies

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 4>that I have and to put it in my computer.

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 4>I recently started using Plex, where I download my computers

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 4>into my computer. I guess Plex is like a server

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 4>that makes a computer into a server, and you can

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 4>access your movies everywhere you go with your phone, cell phone, laptop,

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 4>so forth right. The only issue that I've been having is, well,

0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 4>first of all, I need more memory because I only

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.120
<v Speaker 4>got like one hundred movies in there, and you start

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 4>ticking sticking out my memory.

0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 4>But I just wanted to see what would you recommend

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 4>for me. Well, first of all, the movies are in

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 4>my computer, and my computer have to be turned on

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 4>all the time.

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, did my.

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 4>Computer mess up if I leave it on? Could my

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 4>monitors stay on for a while? And I don't know

0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 4>if that's going to mess.

0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Up my monitors or yeah, I means.

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Is running day and night.

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's definitely not not an ideal situation. But computers

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>are designed to stay on for long periods of time,

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>so you're not going to necessarily kill your computer. I

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>have a little mini server in my place I bought

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.679
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago. It's from Synology. So if

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you really want to get serious with this and have

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>all your movies on there, that's probably the best bet.

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what most people do. Or you can run an

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>old computer as your server if you have one, But

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>snology is kind of like the leader in that space.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 1>You basically buy this little box that it's like two hundred bucks,

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and then you get a hard drive or two hard

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 1>drives preferably, and then the cool thing about the Synology

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>is it also serves as a mini backup drive.

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.200
<v Speaker 2>So I have my entire or Google Drive.

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Syncd up to that, and you can have your entire

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>drop box synced up to that. So this way, if

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>anything ever happened with Google Drive, I have a complete

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.399
<v Speaker 1>backup right here in my office. So that's one option.

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Now to answer your question, I would.

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 4>The name of the name of the.

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Unit Sinology, s Ynology, and it's not very expensive. You

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.359
<v Speaker 1>can look online if you type it in. If you

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 1>just literally type in Synology into Amazon, it will give you,

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 1>like the the latest model that most people are buying.

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like mine's a couple of years old, so I'd

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.320
<v Speaker 1>give you that one, but it's not it's not really

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the popular one anymore. But if you get that, you

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 1>can install PLEX on it and then you can use

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 1>that as your server. And so it's like basically a

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>mini computer. And that's about it. So you have that

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>going twenty mine's going twenty four to seven. Unless the

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.560
<v Speaker 1>kids turn it off and then that's it. And then

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I figure that out when I go to drag something

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 1>to it and I'm like, oh, it's not there, and

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I realize that it's turned off. But otherwise, with a computer,

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.639
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna have too many problem with the computer

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 1>being on. I think that the energy consumption is one.

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>The secondary thing is your monitor being on all the time.

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.400
<v Speaker 1>There isn't an issue with screen burning if you don't

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 1>have a screen saver. But at the very least I

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>would just go into your settings on your computer and

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 1>just have it to your hard drive and your CPU

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.919
<v Speaker 1>either stay awake with you know, network access, or you

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>have the monitor just turn off and the computer stays on.

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.159
<v Speaker 1>So just go in and tweak those energy settings and

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you should be fine. But yeah, the way it's working

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 1>is everything's coming off your computer, so your computer has

0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to be on for that connection to be made between

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>your device and your computer where all the files are

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>are housed.

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I know it gets a little complicated.

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 1>But the plex thing is a lot of people like

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 1>it because they have their own stuff. They also some

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.200
<v Speaker 1>people share other people's plexes as well.

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 2>But you know, there's there's a lot of ways you

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 2>can do it.

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of good solutions for it as well,

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Like there's if you want to have your own collection

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of something plex, lets you do that, right.

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 4>I love it because, like I said, I have thousands

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:07.359
<v Speaker 4>of movies on DVD, and I hate looking for a

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 4>movie that I always wanted to watch and all of

0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:11.280
<v Speaker 4>a sudden, I know I have access to it on Plex.

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.159
<v Speaker 4>Like in Christmas time, you don't.

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Want to be looking for your Christmas movies and then

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.320
<v Speaker 3>you know and putting into the DVD player and so forth,

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 3>and so.

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 4>I have stolen too much time. So plex friendly looks there.

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 1>That's so funny because that's like literally the only time

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.199
<v Speaker 1>I use my PLEX is when I is during Christmas.

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, I know I have Doctor Seuss

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 1>or whatever the Grinch you stole Christmas. I know I

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>have Christmas Vacation on there. I've gotten some of them over.

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 1>But it's like it really pains me when I bought

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>these things to like buy them again digitally, you know,

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 1>So I just made them digital and now I have them.

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Because I was also doing voodoo for a while,

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 4>buying two dollars for the movie that I have sometimes,

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, the screen is not what I want on

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 4>the Pleux, so I gotta go to Vudu. Yep. But

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 4>anyway back to the plex, like just one more thing.

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 4>So what you told me, I mean they told me

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 4>about the NAS. Is that something good I can use also?

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:04.400
<v Speaker 4>And they ask or NAS or.

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what I'm talking about. That's that's the NAS. Yeah.

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:12.160
<v Speaker 1>The NASA's synology is called Network attached storage. So it's

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>basically a hard drive that has a network connection and

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the hard drive there's a little bit of a CPO

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:19.680
<v Speaker 1>in there, there's a little bit of software that runs

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>on there. But that's what a NAS is. That's what

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.200
<v Speaker 1>snology is, and so there's several of them out there.

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I think synology is probably the most popular. You can

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 1>build your own, you know, there's a there's a you know,

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of ways to do it, but that's

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>what that synology is.

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Okay, all right, Persfect, thank you so much, answer my questions.

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, Caesar, have a good day. All right, same

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:39.880
<v Speaker 2>to you, Bye bye.

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Her.

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Amazon has a new feature available to all Prime members

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 1>called Amazon Day. This is something that I have literally

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.680
<v Speaker 1>been talking to my wife about for years saying how

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.919
<v Speaker 1>convenient this would be and how smart this would be,

0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:53.199
<v Speaker 1>and I called it.

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have Amazon Day. Mine was like Amazon sweep, right.

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.399
<v Speaker 1>So the idea was that you would order stuff throughout

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.840
<v Speaker 1>your week, and I need everything I order immediately, right, Like,

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I understand that Amazon's really fast, but I would say,

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>only one percent of orders do I actually need the

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:09.919
<v Speaker 1>next day or the same day, right. The rest I

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:14.240
<v Speaker 1>can just wait for. So my idea was, I think

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.480
<v Speaker 1>it's really inefficient for them to keep delivering stuff to

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 1>my house, right, So I thought it would be really

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 1>cool if all throughout the week, if I ordered stuff,

0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I would just get all my orders at the end

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of the week, like on Friday or Saturday.

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, now that's an option. It's called Amazon Day, and

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff you order throughout the week, you can

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.159
<v Speaker 1>pick the day that you want it delivered. So I

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 1>love this idea because a lot of times I don't

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>order small, stupid little things on Amazon because I'm like, oh,

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that's such a waste of resources, of driving of you know,

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I only want to place an order for like something

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:46.680
<v Speaker 1>that's five dollars, like a kitchen utensil.

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Or tool or whatever.

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, now you can do that and at the end

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>of the week, they'll just kind of group everything together

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 1>that you ordered and ship it to you. And the

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 1>other side of this is that you know what day

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you're getting your packages, which is really cool. So again

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 1>it's called Amazon Day and Amazon Now clearly there's a

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:08.359
<v Speaker 1>benefit to Amazon because guess what they can now you know,

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 1>have less packages going out on any given day, and

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 1>that saves them money to group things they don't have

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 1>to ship things separately. But for me, I actually think

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just a smart idea. It's good for the environment,

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>but it's just also smart, like not every package you

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.879
<v Speaker 1>need on the next day or the same day, And

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 1>so you do have the option if you're ordering something

0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>like let's say you need razors, you ran out and

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you need them like the next day, well you can

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>still get them on your Prime. You can you know,

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>specify every order if you want it to go on

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 1>your Amazon Day or if you want it to go

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, on normal shipping or whatever. But I think

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 1>this is great, great option. It's like one of those

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:46.640
<v Speaker 1>things that like Amazon is so big that just by

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:50.280
<v Speaker 1>offering this they will save literally like a million trees

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 1>a month.

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Or something.

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Just by offering this, not everyone's going to take advantage,

0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:56.879
<v Speaker 1>but it is for prime members only. But if you

0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>want to set up your Amazon Day where you get

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>all your deliveries on the same day Amazon dot Com

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 1>slash Amazon Day. Alan from Panoramic City, You're on with

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Rich what's going on and the baiting.

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 6>Between an iPhone and an Android? And I don't know

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:12.399
<v Speaker 6>what is better for me?

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:14.360
<v Speaker 2>What do you want to do with your phone?

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 6>I want to play games, take a lot of pictures.

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 6>I have the Samsum S seven Edge right now. They're

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 6>starting to give me a lot of problems. And I

0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:31.679
<v Speaker 6>play a lot of games. I surf the net a

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.880
<v Speaker 6>lot on the internet, you know, we read a lot

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 6>of things, talk play music.

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean the difference. I mean, if you already

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>have an Android and you're feeling like it's after a

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, not really living up to its potential.

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>There and the S seven, you know, it was a

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:53.640
<v Speaker 1>good phone, but the software on the older Samsung's has

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:55.360
<v Speaker 1>definitely left a little bit to be desired.

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:55.840
<v Speaker 2>For sure.

0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that you would be fine with switch to

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>an iPhone.

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:01.159
<v Speaker 6>Are you?

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Are you opposed to the iPhone in any way? Is

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 1>it's what's your hesitation about that?

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.400
<v Speaker 6>I just have little hesitation mainly, you know a lot

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 6>of mixed reviews about it, and I don't know what

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 6>to believe and what not to believe.

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, look, the difference between iOS and Android

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:22.640
<v Speaker 1>is Apple kind of controls everything that you do, and

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>so you know, they control kind of how the phone works,

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the software, what you can do with that software, what

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you can customize, what you can't customize. But the reality is,

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that for ninety nine point nine percent of people,

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>they're not really concerned with that. Like the iPhone works

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:41.639
<v Speaker 1>all the time, like it just always works. It really,

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 1>it's simple, it's it works, It has the best software.

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to apps and things, you can do

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I mean, all the stuff that you're telling

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 1>me you want to do on it is very standard

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 1>iPhone tasks. Right, You've got a lot of accessories for

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone, and I don't think you're going to see

0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>the same kind of slow down and issue that you

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 1>see with your Samsung with the iPhone. Now with the

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:05.439
<v Speaker 1>new Samsung, I think that it's good. But I've been

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 1>testing this new one, the s ten, and it's great.

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:12.800
<v Speaker 1>But the iPhone is is also a fantastic device. I mean,

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>if are you looking at getting the newest iPhone like

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the ten R or okay something like that.

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, sorry, you're rough.

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:23.800
<v Speaker 6>What do you think of the Android LG.

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I like that one. I've been testing that as well.

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it as much as the iPhone ten R.

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that, I think that the ten R

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 1>is is is a better device.

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 2>So I think.

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>The ten R is the x R. That is they

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>just call it. It says X but it's ten. I know, yeah, yeah,

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 1>it's it's the same thing. So that's fine. The LG,

0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, V forty is cool. The the thing I

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 1>like about that is that it has a bunch of cameras.

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:55.439
<v Speaker 1>You've got the three different cameras on the back so

0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:57.479
<v Speaker 1>you can do the wide angle photography, which is kind

0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:00.359
<v Speaker 1>of cool. The iPhone ten R only has one camera

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:02.840
<v Speaker 1>on the back, so you get but it's it's a

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:04.800
<v Speaker 1>great phone. I mean, the ten R really is a

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>nice device, and I think that some of the headaches

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that you've had with your Samsung you will not have

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 1>with the with the ten R. It just works, It

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:16.600
<v Speaker 1>charges easily, it's simple, it does wireless charging comes in

0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of different colors, if that's of interest to you.

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>The screen is nice and big, the battery last forever.

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 6>That's what I want, my edge. I can't even leave

0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 6>it on for you know, anything, for time at all

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:31.679
<v Speaker 6>without nothing, you know.

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I agree, And that's that's that's a problem

0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:37.119
<v Speaker 1>with some of the Samsungs in the past.

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:38.160
<v Speaker 2>The battery.

0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 1>The battery got better on the S nine, but the

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:44.439
<v Speaker 1>S seven was was not very good when it came

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:46.639
<v Speaker 1>to battery, or the S six was really bad.

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know.

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you're willing to switch, I think take

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the chance and see. Right now, Apple is giving a

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit of bonus cash for the trade ins on

0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone ten R. So if you go into uh

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to the Apple webs and see you can you can

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:03.239
<v Speaker 1>go on there and see how much they'll give you

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>for your phone. They're giving you a little bit more

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 1>than he normally would, which is still not a lot.

0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to get a ton for the S seven,

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.919
<v Speaker 1>but you will get you know, I don't know. I

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 1>mean I can look online and see, but you know,

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:16.600
<v Speaker 1>at least we'll get some sort of trade in and

0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 1>that phone is seventy seven hundred and fifty dollars, So

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you can go to the Apple Store too and trade

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 1>it in there. So let's see, so your device is,

0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 1>let's see, let me see what your smartphone is. You

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 1>have the let's see Samsung Galaxy S seven. So let

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:41.880
<v Speaker 1>me just see here Samsung, which model Galaxy capacity. I'm

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.080
<v Speaker 1>guessing that's a thirty two gig do you know?

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure it is thirty Okay, so.

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>S seven edge you said, or yeah, okay, all right,

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:55.920
<v Speaker 1>is your smartphone in good condition? You get one hundred

0:28:55.920 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and twenty five dollars for that phone, okay, So I

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>mean that's not bad. I think that's actually a pretty

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 1>good amount for a phone that's going on three years old, right,

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 1>three four years old? But I don't know, take take

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a chance. I mean, see what you think of it.

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the ten R is a really solid device.

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's the best combination of what Apple

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 1>has to offer. I wouldn't go anything below the ten

0:29:19.720 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 1>R because the camera's not as good on the previous models.

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So the ten R has a really good camera. And

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that you said you like take pictures, so

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that'd be good, and you got the big screen.

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 6>I just got to so I like to take pictures.

0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, I was told that all the Androids now

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 6>are switching the USB connections so that my existing USB

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 6>portion everything won't work. Is that true?

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.800
<v Speaker 1>The there's well, okay, so your phone does use US B,

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.120
<v Speaker 1>but it uses what's called micro USB, and the new

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 1>phones use what's called USB C so and the iPhone

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 1>uses lightning. So with the iPhone you will have a

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 1>different connector. So you we'll need to get you know, yeah,

0:29:58.480 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't.

0:29:58.840 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 6>Sure about the Android.

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I got to replace. Yes you would.

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 1>It uses USB C which your phone uses USB, micro

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>USB or USB A. I believe that is so you

0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't You wouldn't need new courts for that anyway, so

0:30:15.760 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 1>combine that, you know.

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, okay, great and answer my question. Thank you very

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 6>much for your time.

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:22.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, Alan, appreciate you calling in. Thanks so much.

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Have a good day.

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 5>Thanks.

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 4>So.

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Back in the day, we had phones with batteries that

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 1>seem to last forever. Well, part of the thing was

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't really use our phones as much. Well

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 1>then we had smartphones, and of course the battery is

0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a daily struggle for many of us. Things have gotten

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot better with fast charging and wireless charging, and

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 1>just you know, the batteries haven't really changed, but the

0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>capacity has well now Energizer well, through an exclusive agreement

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 1>with Energizer, this phone company is making a Energizer phone

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 1>called the Powermax P eighteen k pop. And they showed

0:30:57.240 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 1>it off at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and

0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I get it. It's a smartphone whatever. It's got five cameras,

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a six inch screen, it's got Android. But the feature

0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 1>everyone's going crazy over is it has an eighteen thousand

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>milliamp hour battery, the highest capacity battery ever seen in

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a smartphone, so you get weeks of battery life on

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 1>a single charge.

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 2>So eighteen thousand milliamps. Just to give you an.

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Idea, a phone like maybe like the Galaxy S ten

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 1>probably has about a four thousand milliamp battery, maybe thirty

0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:33.120
<v Speaker 1>five hundred iPhones maybe three thousand something like that, two

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:36.480
<v Speaker 1>thousand for the smaller one. So you're talking almost six,

0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, four to six times the battery in a

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 1>regular phone. Now this thing is thick, it's about three

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and a half times as thick as an iPhone. So

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>nobody's buying this device for the phone. They're getting it

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 1>for this crazy battery. So the battery lasts up to

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 1>ninety hours for calls, one hundred hours for music, and

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you can watch two days of video on a single charge,

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.959
<v Speaker 1>and in standby mode the battery will last fifty days.

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Now you might be wondering, well, Rich, how long is it.

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Gonna take to actually charge this batteries.

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna take like a week to charge it. It

0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't say how long to charge, but it does say

0:32:15.080 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>when a full charge is necessary. Users can recharge their

0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 1>device quickly thanks to the fast charge function. I thought

0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I read somewhere that it yeah, I think it's going

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 1>to take eight hours to charge this thing. But the

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>reality is the Energizer phone is just kind of fun.

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.480
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like one of those novelty things. It might

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 1>have specific use case scenarios, like for certain businesses that

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 1>just want a brick and you know, maybe security personnel

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 1>or I don't know, someone that just needs a phone

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that just the most important thing to them is how

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 1>long the battery is gonna last. That's who's gonna buy

0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 1>that phone. I don't have a price on the phone

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>just yet. Or when it's going to be available. But again,

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it's the Energizer Powermax P eighteen k POP with an

0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>eighteen thousand million battery.

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have to see this thing.

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Just go ahead and look at the picture of this

0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>thing online, because would you carry it around? This thing

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:08.480
<v Speaker 1>would really kind of I think this thing would weigh

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you down. And I think you'd also get flagged at

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>TSA for having a battery that big in your phone.

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>But on the flip side, I travel a lot and

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I do bring a lot of those backup batteries, so

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of the same thing. But anyway, there it

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:23.840
<v Speaker 1>is the Energizer phone with the largest battery. Definitely fits

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>their brand. Speaking of big Western digital brand, sand Disc

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:32.920
<v Speaker 1>now has a one terabyte micro SD card. The card

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>holds one terabyte of information, So this is an unbelievable

0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>amount of data on one tiny little card. You've seen

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 1>micro SD cards, they are tiny. This is going to

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 1>be four hundred and fifty dollars for a one terabyte card.

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Now here's the thing that's very expensive. So it's cool

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that you have a terabyte on a card, but this

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 1>is this is prohibitively expensive. Not just prohibitively expensive. It's

0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 1>also exponentially expensive because if you go on Amazon and

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 1>look up prices for a smaller card like a one

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to twenty eight, you can get that for like forty

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:10.239
<v Speaker 1>five bucks, and sometimes on sale even cheaper. So if

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you look at two fifty six, I think that's even

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like fifty bucks, So five twelve that's kind of expensive.

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 1>That's one hundred and ninety nine dollars. So that's a

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of money as well, but still much more reasonable.

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>So the reality is you can pop one of these

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:27.799
<v Speaker 1>cards into I don't know can you pop it into

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the Samsungs go up to five twelve capacity.

0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that's their max for the card, but I

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 1>think theoretically you can put the one terabyte in there.

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that you can.

0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Have a one terabyte card in your device, I mean,

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:45.359
<v Speaker 1>my laptop has a one terror I don't even think

0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:46.839
<v Speaker 1>it has a one terabyt hard drive. I think it's

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a five hundred gig card drive. Let me see what

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.800
<v Speaker 1>do I have. I gotta I gotta look in my Yeah,

0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 1>my hard drive is not even a terabyte. It is

0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 1>five hundred gigabytes. So my hard drive on my computer

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 1>is five hundred gigabytes. Imagine if you could just have

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a little oh my gosh, if we can dream for

0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a second here, if Apple would ever give us some

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:13.239
<v Speaker 1>slots on our laptops. Imagine having a little micro SD

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>card slot on your laptop. You just popped one of

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 1>these one terabytes in there, and now that's like a

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:19.799
<v Speaker 1>drive that you just have there at all times. I mean,

0:35:19.800 --> 0:35:24.399
<v Speaker 1>that would be fantastic. And my dream is to have

0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I've got two giggle two terabytes of storage on Google Drive.

0:35:28.360 --> 0:35:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And the funny thing is, I cannot organize those two

0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:34.560
<v Speaker 1>terabytes of data because I have no place to download them.

0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I can never download two terabytes of data to my

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:40.359
<v Speaker 1>laptop because it only holds five hundred gigs. So I'm

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 1>sitting here. One of these days, the storage will catch

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 1>up the storage on my laptop, my physical storage will

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 1>catch up to my cloud storage, and I can finally

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:53.279
<v Speaker 1>go through and organize my Google Drive. Right now, it's

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:55.239
<v Speaker 1>just a whole mess in there. I've got duplicates, I've

0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 1>got stuff thrown in there because I can't organize it.

0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:00.399
<v Speaker 1>I can't run any program that does a ddoup or.

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:02.719
<v Speaker 2>You know, just anything. I can't get in there and

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:04.000
<v Speaker 2>organize everything at once.

0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:06.840
<v Speaker 1>So I'm looking forward to the days of more storage

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:11.040
<v Speaker 1>on our devices. They're there, they're just very expensive. Tasha

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 1>from Inglewood. You're on with Rich.

0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:17.160
<v Speaker 5>Hi, Rich, I have a question. I have an iPhone

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 5>AT or ten however you want to say it, and I,

0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 5>if I'm on the phone, I can't send a text

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:27.680
<v Speaker 5>message or answer emails or anything like. It's not allowing

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:31.280
<v Speaker 5>me to access my data. And I call them today

0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 5>customer service, and they said, it's a certain type of plan.

0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:37.840
<v Speaker 5>It's like a data plan that you can do with

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:41.920
<v Speaker 5>certain phones. But it's weird that I can never do that.

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:47.120
<v Speaker 5>But when other people have other things like T Mobile

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 5>and AT and T whatever, they can be on the phone,

0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:54.279
<v Speaker 5>receive text messages, send text messages, phones and emails. But

0:36:54.400 --> 0:36:56.800
<v Speaker 5>I always get it to where it didn't go through.

0:36:57.160 --> 0:37:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Tasha. Are you on Sprint? Yes, okay, that's why.

0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:05.560
<v Speaker 1>So the way their network is devised, and or at

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:08.239
<v Speaker 1>least the way it used to be, is that you

0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>cannot use data while you're on the phone. That's just

0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the way their network switches over.

0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:14.600
<v Speaker 2>So if you're using.

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 1>A call through their phone, like a you know, if

0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:21.239
<v Speaker 1>you're on a voice call, you cannot access data. That's

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:23.120
<v Speaker 1>just the way their network is set up. Verizon used

0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to be the same way. They're not that way anymore.

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:27.399
<v Speaker 1>But Sprint is I guess the last holdout since you're

0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:30.480
<v Speaker 1>telling me this, but that's that's the reality of their network.

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 1>That's just the architecture of how it's set up. Now,

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 1>if you are in a Wi Fi area, that should

0:37:36.040 --> 0:37:38.359
<v Speaker 1>not be the case. So if you're if you're on

0:37:38.400 --> 0:37:41.120
<v Speaker 1>your phone and you're in Wi Fi at home and

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you're on a call, you should be able to send

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:45.600
<v Speaker 1>or browse the web while you're on there.

0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Is that not the case?

0:37:46.920 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I haven't tried that yet. I was actually on

0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 5>the customer service and they pretty much told me the

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:53.359
<v Speaker 5>same thing that you said. You know that if I'm

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.840
<v Speaker 5>on it, you can't use your data. But when I

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 5>saw that you were alive. Well, maybe he knows some

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:02.120
<v Speaker 5>hack or some you know, way to get around that,

0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:04.360
<v Speaker 5>but I think it's pretty much the same thing that

0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:06.279
<v Speaker 5>the rep told me today that there was nothing we

0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:06.960
<v Speaker 5>could do about it.

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's not.

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:11.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just the architecture of the of the the network

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 1>that they set up. I'm guessing it's interesting that you're

0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:17.319
<v Speaker 1>saying this because I would have thought that they would

0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:19.520
<v Speaker 1>have switched over like everyone else, because now it used

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:22.759
<v Speaker 1>to be a big differentiator between AT and T and

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Verizon and Sprint is that on AT and T and

0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 1>T Mobile you could surf the web while you were

0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 1>on the phone, and with you know, with Verizon and

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Sprint you couldn't. That's because their networks were a little

0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:37.319
<v Speaker 1>bit different. But I thought when everyone switched over to

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:40.120
<v Speaker 1>LTE that that would change. But I guess Sprint must

0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>still be using something else for their calls, which is

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:46.680
<v Speaker 1>really interesting to me. I wasn't aware that was still

0:38:46.680 --> 0:38:48.560
<v Speaker 1>an issue with them, but yeah, it definitely that's the

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 1>way their network has been set up historically. So, and

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you have a new phone, which I was going to

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:53.560
<v Speaker 1>say it could be your phone, but you have the

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:56.319
<v Speaker 1>brand new ten ar you said, right, or the ten Yeah,

0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so it's not your phone. Basically your option is I

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:01.760
<v Speaker 1>would just try it and Wi fi see what happens.

0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:04.320
<v Speaker 1>So when you're at home, if you're at home right now,

0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, get on the phone with someone else and

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 1>try to surf the web and see if that works.

0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 1>If you're in your WiFi as well, that should work.

0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:12.200
<v Speaker 1>But if you're out and about in the city and

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to you know, it's I could see where

0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:15.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a problem. If someone's like, hey, you know, let

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:17.479
<v Speaker 1>me look up this restaurant while I'm on the phone

0:39:17.480 --> 0:39:20.120
<v Speaker 1>with you and you can't. You're like, oh, never mind, let.

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Me call you back, right, Or if I'm trying to

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:25.799
<v Speaker 5>receive or spend the text message, it's like I have

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 5>to hang up, spend it and then call them back,

0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:31.480
<v Speaker 5>you know, And that's just you know, nonproductive for me.

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:34.600
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's definitely, that's definitely not ideal.

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:38.040
<v Speaker 5>Yes, it's not good at all. Okay. I just thought,

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 5>you know, you, being the genius that you are, that

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:40.759
<v Speaker 5>you know a way around it.

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can carry around a hot spot with you

0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:47.840
<v Speaker 1>everywhere you go and U and only use I message

0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know that would help you. But that's I

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:52.959
<v Speaker 1>don't think that seems very reasonable, Tasha.

0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:56.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Okay, Well, it was a pleasure talking

0:39:56.560 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 5>to you, and thank you for confirming what you know

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:00.400
<v Speaker 5>they told me. I just thought it might have been

0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 5>them just saying, you know, just keep me as a

0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:05.160
<v Speaker 5>customer right land the conversation with I'm about to go

0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 5>to T Mobile, and I am.

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh, well, there you go. This might put you over

0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the edge. Now your phone, make sure it's compatible with

0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:12.879
<v Speaker 1>T Mobile. If you want to take it over there,

0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you can. You can check that. You should be able

0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to check that on their website.

0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:20.480
<v Speaker 5>So I actually tweeted the other day. I tweeted John

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:23.120
<v Speaker 5>the other day and they get me back within a

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 5>half an hour. It was like, let's do it.

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Pretty much the other.

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Tasha, I don't know.

0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:30.799
<v Speaker 1>The other one that you might want to check out

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:32.960
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to a different carrier is Visible.

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Have you heard of them?

0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 5>Visible?

0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:38.160
<v Speaker 1>So Visible is run by Verizon. It's forty bucks a

0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:42.040
<v Speaker 1>month for unlimited everything, and you can literally sign up

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:44.239
<v Speaker 1>through your phone. They will send you a SIM card,

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you pop it into your phone and it's forty dollars unlimited.

0:40:47.040 --> 0:40:50.439
<v Speaker 2>So oh wow, Yeah, that's a really good deal.

0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:52.960
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that you need to know is they

0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>limit your speed to five megabits per second, so if

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:00.319
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean anything to you, So basically it's fast

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 1>enough to do all the stuff that you need to do,

0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:04.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's not the fastest. Like you know, on T

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Mobile you'll sometimes get really good speeds in certain places

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:10.680
<v Speaker 1>like super Fast, other places you may not have service.

0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 1>So I find that T Mobile is definitely a little

0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:14.600
<v Speaker 1>bit hit or miss. I think it's gonna be better

0:41:14.680 --> 0:41:18.120
<v Speaker 1>than Sprint, but not as good as Verizon. So just

0:41:18.120 --> 0:41:21.520
<v Speaker 1>just check out Visible and just just google Visible and

0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:23.279
<v Speaker 1>see what it's all about. You could you can search

0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Visible ktla and see what my story was on it

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and you can learn more about that. But definitely check

0:41:28.480 --> 0:41:29.440
<v Speaker 1>it out if you're gonna switch.

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 5>What do you think about this respect your mobile service?

0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's good. It runs on Verizon and hot spots.

0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:40.560
<v Speaker 1>So if you have Verizon, if you have Spectrum Internet

0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and you're not planning on giving that up anytime soon,

0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you'll you know, you'll save money. It's like, I think

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it's what forty forty bucks a month, forty five a

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:50.319
<v Speaker 1>month or something. Historically you needed a certain phone to

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:52.000
<v Speaker 1>use it, So just make sure that your phone is

0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:54.600
<v Speaker 1>compatible with their service, because that may not be. But

0:41:54.760 --> 0:41:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I think if you're if you're gonna stick with Spectrum Internet,

0:41:57.040 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not a bad deal. It's definitely not a bad deal.

0:41:59.360 --> 0:42:01.759
<v Speaker 1>It's just some of your calls are routed through their

0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:04.359
<v Speaker 1>wireless hotspots, which can be hit or missed sometimes so

0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:06.960
<v Speaker 1>but I think overall you'd probably have a fine, a

0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:10.279
<v Speaker 1>fine experience with it. But I check out Visible before

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I did Spectrum Mobile to be honest.

0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:15.600
<v Speaker 5>Okay, well I do thank you for the information.

0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:16.719
<v Speaker 2>All right, Tasha, I have a good day.

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:20.280
<v Speaker 1>FedEx is testing a new robot. It's called the FedEx

0:42:20.440 --> 0:42:23.359
<v Speaker 1>same Day Bot, and this didn't really do so well.

0:42:23.400 --> 0:42:25.399
<v Speaker 1>I posted this to my Instagram page if you want

0:42:25.400 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to see a little video of it. People thought it

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:29.959
<v Speaker 1>was interesting, but I think we've seen this a lot now.

0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Amazon has something similar. We've seen them playing with the drones.

0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:35.120
<v Speaker 1>And the funny thing is we've seen a lot of

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:39.160
<v Speaker 1>companies kind of experimenting with this technology, but we never

0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:43.359
<v Speaker 1>really see it implemented. So FedEx getting into the game.

0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.200
<v Speaker 1>They've got this new same day bot, and what they're

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:49.480
<v Speaker 1>thinking is that this bot is going to be delivering packages,

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:52.759
<v Speaker 1>but more like same day orders. So now, the big

0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:54.920
<v Speaker 1>thing with all these companies is that they're all doing

0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:59.359
<v Speaker 1>same day orders and deliveries to compete with the Amazons

0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>of the world and the Postmates and the Amazon Prime. Now,

0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:06.000
<v Speaker 1>so FedEx is going to try this out with AutoZone

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 1>lows Pizza Hut, Target, Walgreens, and Walmart, and you would

0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>place an order at one of those places and they

0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:15.400
<v Speaker 1>would use this bot to get the order to your house.

0:43:16.000 --> 0:43:18.720
<v Speaker 1>And it says that on average, more than sixty percent

0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of merchants customers live within three miles of a store location.

0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:24.320
<v Speaker 1>So there is an opportunity they're saying for on demand,

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:27.120
<v Speaker 1>hyperlocal delivery, and I agree. I mean, half the time

0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.359
<v Speaker 1>you're ordering stuff like I ordered razors the other day

0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:33.800
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon because they were twelve dollars cheaper on Amazon

0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:37.239
<v Speaker 1>than they were at CVS. I went into CVS and

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:39.839
<v Speaker 1>it's like now I did a price check and they're

0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:43.480
<v Speaker 1>super expensive. So the reality is if one of these

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:46.560
<v Speaker 1>companies can offer me a cheaper price that competes with Amazon,

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and I can have it delivered in a couple of

0:43:48.680 --> 0:43:51.600
<v Speaker 1>hours by this little robot, of course I'm on board.

0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Right now, we are in the early stages of delivery

0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 1>right Amazon is owning the business, but that cannot go

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:01.640
<v Speaker 1>on forever. These other companies are getting very smart about hey,

0:44:01.760 --> 0:44:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we've got the stock right here, literally within three miles

0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:08.680
<v Speaker 1>of your house. Why are you ordering something from Seattle

0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that's being shipped from Louisville that is now coming to

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:15.000
<v Speaker 1>your house on a FedEx truck when literally it's a

0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:17.200
<v Speaker 1>mile down the road and we can cut out that

0:44:17.239 --> 0:44:20.440
<v Speaker 1>whole middleman process and get you this thing. The problem

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:23.080
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of times it's more expensive, and it's

0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:26.360
<v Speaker 1>actually cheaper to order from Amazon even though the product

0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:28.719
<v Speaker 1>is coming from miles and miles away. So that will

0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.600
<v Speaker 1>change over time as the economy sort of shifts here.

0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:35.000
<v Speaker 1>But this little same day bot is being developed by

0:44:35.000 --> 0:44:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the same guy that invented the segue, so it's got

0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:40.480
<v Speaker 1>some really good smarts inside. It can go over you know,

0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:42.520
<v Speaker 1>they showed it going over a pothole. They showed it

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:45.200
<v Speaker 1>climbing stairs. I also saw one of these things on

0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:47.640
<v Speaker 1>display at CES if you want to check out that

0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that was called the Animal, and that one was pretty

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:53.080
<v Speaker 1>cool because it actually took the package out of the

0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:56.360
<v Speaker 1>top of the Actually it kind of slid the package

0:44:56.360 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 1>out of the top of the device that like leaned

0:44:58.000 --> 0:45:00.600
<v Speaker 1>over and popped it out. That was really cool. FedEx

0:45:00.600 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 1>has not shown how this thing gets the package to

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:05.760
<v Speaker 1>your door, like how you get it out of it.

0:45:05.760 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 1>It opens up so you can see what's inside, which

0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:10.120
<v Speaker 1>would lead me to believe it can only have one

0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:12.000
<v Speaker 1>thing in there at a time, but they showed it

0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:13.879
<v Speaker 1>on Jimmy Fallon and he just reached in and pulled

0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:16.600
<v Speaker 1>out a package, actually pulled out a pizza, which personally,

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I think is probably the coolest possible Back to the

0:45:20.400 --> 0:45:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Future solution of these things, because to me, a hot

0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:26.879
<v Speaker 1>pizza being delivered by a robot to my front door

0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:30.520
<v Speaker 1>is like absolutely mind boggling. The only thing better than that,

0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:33.799
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, is that rehydrator they had on Back

0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to the Future where she put the tiny pizza in,

0:45:36.160 --> 0:45:38.879
<v Speaker 1>pressed a button andh it was like, you know, became

0:45:38.920 --> 0:45:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a big pizza.

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:40.520
<v Speaker 2>That was so cool to me.

0:45:41.120 --> 0:45:43.400
<v Speaker 1>So FedEx is going to test this spot this summer

0:45:43.719 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in select markets including Memphis, Tennessee, pending final approval from

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the city, but it seems like at this point robots

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:53.880
<v Speaker 1>delivering packages to your home will be a thing in

0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:56.719
<v Speaker 1>the future, just like foldable phones. Just want to make

0:45:56.760 --> 0:45:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you aware of a little, tiny addition, but very useful

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:01.239
<v Speaker 1>addition to the Google Home app.

0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:02.480
<v Speaker 2>If you have a Google.

0:46:02.200 --> 0:46:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Home, this is they're making it so it's much easier

0:46:06.200 --> 0:46:09.319
<v Speaker 1>to control all your devices. So they've redesigned this app

0:46:09.320 --> 0:46:12.040
<v Speaker 1>a thousand times since it came out, and according to

0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Android Police, where I saw this, you can now control

0:46:14.920 --> 0:46:19.319
<v Speaker 1>lights and plugs from different manufacturers and integrate them right

0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:21.920
<v Speaker 1>into your routine. So you can do all that stuff already, right,

0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:25.200
<v Speaker 1>But what they're adding now is the ability to change

0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the color of your light. So the first time I

0:46:27.560 --> 0:46:30.440
<v Speaker 1>saw this was actually on the Google Home Hub. I

0:46:30.440 --> 0:46:32.480
<v Speaker 1>thought it was really cool because it gives you a

0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:34.880
<v Speaker 1>look at all the devices in your home, and when

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you press a set of lights, it gives you a

0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:38.960
<v Speaker 1>whole little pellette where you can choose the color for

0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 1>those lights. Well, now they're doing that on the Google

0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Home app, which is really cool because it used to

0:46:44.880 --> 0:46:47.080
<v Speaker 1>be where every light was different. If you had a

0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Fillip's Hue light, you'd have to open up the Hue

0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:51.799
<v Speaker 1>app to change the color, right, if you had a

0:46:51.840 --> 0:46:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Lifix bulb, you'd have to open up the Lifix app

0:46:54.160 --> 0:46:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to change the color. I've been testing these new c

0:46:57.280 --> 0:47:00.719
<v Speaker 1>By ge bulbs, which I love, and the you had

0:47:00.719 --> 0:47:03.760
<v Speaker 1>to you actually use those through the Google Home app,

0:47:04.520 --> 0:47:06.680
<v Speaker 1>but you couldn't change their color except with your voice.

0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:10.560
<v Speaker 1>So now everything is available with your voice and also

0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the color palette, so again if you go into the

0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Google Home app and you select one of your light bulbs,

0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:18.680
<v Speaker 1>when of your smart light bulbs, it will now pop

0:47:18.800 --> 0:47:21.520
<v Speaker 1>up a little color palette at the bottom. It says

0:47:21.800 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>change color. You can now tap that and you'll get

0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:26.719
<v Speaker 1>all the colors that that light supports, or not all

0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of them, because the Phillips bulbs support sixteen million colors

0:47:31.080 --> 0:47:35.120
<v Speaker 1>or something insane like that. So according to the Android

0:47:35.120 --> 0:47:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Police article, you get forty two different shades of the color.

0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:40.799
<v Speaker 1>Some of the bulbs I have only changed, like from

0:47:40.880 --> 0:47:43.920
<v Speaker 1>white to kind of bright white to candle light, so

0:47:44.040 --> 0:47:46.640
<v Speaker 1>whatever it sort of supports in a smaller way, you'll

0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:49.080
<v Speaker 1>get that selection. But it's really cool because theoretically you

0:47:49.080 --> 0:47:51.200
<v Speaker 1>can change all the lights in your house, no matter

0:47:51.239 --> 0:47:54.080
<v Speaker 1>what brands they are, all at the same time now

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:56.719
<v Speaker 1>using the Google Home app. So not sure if you're

0:47:56.760 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a Lift or Uber user, but I'm a big Uber

0:47:59.080 --> 0:48:01.600
<v Speaker 1>user and my wife and I always have this debate.

0:48:01.680 --> 0:48:04.440
<v Speaker 1>She loves Lyft and I always use Uber and she's

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:06.439
<v Speaker 1>always telling me, oh, well, this week I have fifty

0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:08.839
<v Speaker 1>percent off my rides in Lyft, or ooh, this week

0:48:08.840 --> 0:48:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I have ten percent off my rides or ooh this

0:48:10.480 --> 0:48:12.719
<v Speaker 1>week I have a free upgrade to premium. I never

0:48:12.760 --> 0:48:15.680
<v Speaker 1>got any discounts from Uber. I mean they just it's

0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:18.480
<v Speaker 1>like the price, it is there, it is Back in

0:48:18.520 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the day when they first started, there was lots of

0:48:20.680 --> 0:48:23.759
<v Speaker 1>promos with Uber, and that has quickly dried up. But

0:48:23.920 --> 0:48:26.880
<v Speaker 1>according to an article in tech Crunch, through the Information,

0:48:27.440 --> 0:48:29.839
<v Speaker 1>they say that Lyft has been doing discounts and it's

0:48:29.880 --> 0:48:32.480
<v Speaker 1>been working. So apparently my wife was not the only

0:48:32.480 --> 0:48:36.160
<v Speaker 1>one getting these discounts. Through discounts, Lyft got an additional

0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:38.799
<v Speaker 1>four percent of the US ride share market. They now

0:48:38.880 --> 0:48:41.000
<v Speaker 1>hold thirty four percent of the market, which was actually

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:44.200
<v Speaker 1>bigger than I thought. Uber claims the remaining sixty six

0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:48.040
<v Speaker 1>percent according to this article. But these discounts seem to work,

0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:51.160
<v Speaker 1>So of course, after I read this article, I was like, well,

0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:53.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'll give Lift another chance, because some people say

0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:56.200
<v Speaker 1>they like the drivers better or the cars better.

0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:57.600
<v Speaker 2>And I did so.

0:48:57.640 --> 0:48:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I took Lyft the other night to a little gathering

0:48:59.760 --> 0:49:03.480
<v Speaker 1>eye into and sure enough, the next morning, I got

0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:05.959
<v Speaker 1>a discount ten percent off all my rides on Lyft

0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:06.759
<v Speaker 1>for the next.

0:49:06.560 --> 0:49:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Don't know a week or so.

0:49:07.960 --> 0:49:10.840
<v Speaker 1>So I love discounts, I love promos. I love a

0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:13.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit of good competition. The thing that is keeping

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:18.160
<v Speaker 1>me using Uber is that Uber has Uber rewards, and

0:49:18.200 --> 0:49:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm really trying to get to that tier where I

0:49:20.560 --> 0:49:23.160
<v Speaker 1>finally get some better drivers, because once you get to

0:49:23.160 --> 0:49:25.759
<v Speaker 1>a certain tier, they pair you up with better five

0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:26.600
<v Speaker 1>star drivers.

0:49:26.600 --> 0:49:28.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I'm trying to do. That's my goal.

0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:31.520
<v Speaker 1>But if I'm using the discounts in Lyft to get

0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:35.040
<v Speaker 1>cheaper rates, I miss out on my points for Uber.

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:38.680
<v Speaker 1>So it's a little competition between these companies. But I

0:49:38.680 --> 0:49:41.440
<v Speaker 1>guess my bottom line to you is if you like discounts,

0:49:41.520 --> 0:49:44.319
<v Speaker 1>try out the lift app one more time and they

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:49.000
<v Speaker 1>will probably send you a little discount off your future rides. Finally,

0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:52.399
<v Speaker 1>you've heard of personalized plates. Now get ready for emojis

0:49:52.600 --> 0:49:57.520
<v Speaker 1>on license plates over in Australia Queensland specifically, they are

0:49:57.600 --> 0:50:01.279
<v Speaker 1>going to allow drivers to get a ojis on their

0:50:01.320 --> 0:50:05.040
<v Speaker 1>personalized license plates. So I don't know what I think

0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:08.000
<v Speaker 1>of this. I mean, it's cool, and I didn't know emojis.

0:50:07.480 --> 0:50:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Were like here forever. I guess they are.

0:50:09.760 --> 0:50:12.560
<v Speaker 1>But to begin with, before you you know, think that

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:14.640
<v Speaker 1>they're just going to put the worst possible symbols on

0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 1>their license plate, like that little what is that chocolate

0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:23.360
<v Speaker 1>chocolate frozen yogurt, you know that frozen yogurt swirl something

0:50:23.440 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 1>like that. Right to begin with, there's only gonna be

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:31.080
<v Speaker 1>five symbols available. They include the laugh out loud, which

0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:35.520
<v Speaker 1>is the crying face crying laugh emoji, the winking face emoji,

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the cool sunglasses emoji, the heart eyes, and the standard

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:42.720
<v Speaker 1>smiling face. And you got to pay for this anywhere

0:50:42.800 --> 0:50:45.160
<v Speaker 1>between one hundred and sixty and five hundred dollars in

0:50:45.200 --> 0:50:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Australian dollars. No idea what it is in American dollars,

0:50:47.920 --> 0:50:50.160
<v Speaker 1>but that's a lot. I mean you're going to pay

0:50:50.160 --> 0:50:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a premium. And of course, you know people are debating

0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:54.799
<v Speaker 1>if this is good or bad. I think it's fun.

0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you think about it. In California, we

0:50:57.200 --> 0:51:00.440
<v Speaker 1>do have a version of this. We are allowed to

0:51:00.480 --> 0:51:04.000
<v Speaker 1>put on their like a heart. I've seen a hand.

0:51:04.800 --> 0:51:06.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure what else there is, but there are

0:51:06.960 --> 0:51:11.600
<v Speaker 1>a large selection of personalized options available in California. Every

0:51:11.640 --> 0:51:14.920
<v Speaker 1>state's a little bit different. But the reality is, I

0:51:14.920 --> 0:51:17.360
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's worth it. It's a lot of money. I'm

0:51:17.440 --> 0:51:20.280
<v Speaker 1>too cheap to buy personalized plates. I'd love to have them,

0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:22.840
<v Speaker 1>but every time I pay my renewal for the DMV,

0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Nope, not paying a nickel more for that,

0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:28.839
<v Speaker 1>No way, especially because the rates in California just went

0:51:28.920 --> 0:51:32.000
<v Speaker 1>up by like one hundred bucks last year. So I

0:51:32.040 --> 0:51:34.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's cool. I think it's fun. It shows off

0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:38.320
<v Speaker 1>your personality. I always love I love deciphering personalized plates

0:51:38.600 --> 0:51:40.160
<v Speaker 1>when I'm out there on the road, I'm like, do

0:51:40.239 --> 0:51:43.319
<v Speaker 1>they mean that they are a risk taker or a

0:51:43.920 --> 0:51:45.959
<v Speaker 1>rug maker? You know, like you see these little letters

0:51:46.000 --> 0:51:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, you can't really tell exactly what they mean.

0:51:48.120 --> 0:51:50.799
<v Speaker 2>But but I think the emojis are kind of fun.

0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:56.120
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, five emojis to start, and I don't know,

0:51:56.160 --> 0:51:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's funny for the police officers that have

0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:00.839
<v Speaker 1>to write up reports when these cars, you know, get

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:04.080
<v Speaker 1>traffic tickets or whatever. It's like, oh, the winking face

0:52:04.160 --> 0:52:06.839
<v Speaker 1>emoji seven to seven, nine to.

0:52:06.760 --> 0:52:07.480
<v Speaker 2>One four.

0:52:09.040 --> 0:52:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Got into a car accident. We got to write that

0:52:10.840 --> 0:52:14.080
<v Speaker 1>one up. So anyway, now, you know, if you go

0:52:14.120 --> 0:52:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to Australia, well look at that. That's gonna wrap up

0:52:16.600 --> 0:52:19.360
<v Speaker 1>today's show. Thanks so much for listening to the podcast.

0:52:19.640 --> 0:52:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Do appreciate it.

0:52:21.040 --> 0:52:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Love the feedback on the podcast, the ratings, the reviews,

0:52:24.120 --> 0:52:26.440
<v Speaker 1>all that good stuff. So if you're on iTunes, definitely

0:52:26.680 --> 0:52:29.040
<v Speaker 1>give it the old rating and review. Lots of you

0:52:29.080 --> 0:52:31.160
<v Speaker 1>have done that. Thank you so much. I think we're

0:52:31.280 --> 0:52:33.799
<v Speaker 1>right at four and a half five stars something like that.

0:52:34.239 --> 0:52:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Thanks to everyone who's purchased the book. I know I

0:52:36.080 --> 0:52:38.600
<v Speaker 1>sound like a broken record, but I really, really, really

0:52:38.680 --> 0:52:41.359
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. The book is titled one hundred and one

0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. It's available on Amazon,

0:52:45.120 --> 0:52:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and it will help you learn your iPhone a little

0:52:48.160 --> 0:52:50.239
<v Speaker 1>bit more. And speaking of the book, and four and

0:52:50.280 --> 0:52:53.399
<v Speaker 1>a half stars, five stars holding steady, it has gotten

0:52:53.440 --> 0:52:56.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of reviews on Amazon, and it's holding steady

0:52:56.520 --> 0:52:58.560
<v Speaker 1>at four and a half stars, which just means so

0:52:58.680 --> 0:53:00.279
<v Speaker 1>much to me because it means that.

0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 2>All the hard work that I put into that book and.

0:53:02.440 --> 0:53:05.759
<v Speaker 1>All the thoughts that I had about helping people with

0:53:05.840 --> 0:53:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that book really worked. So there's a couple of one

0:53:09.200 --> 0:53:11.480
<v Speaker 1>stars on there. I'm a little suspect to those because

0:53:11.800 --> 0:53:13.800
<v Speaker 1>some of the one star reviews are kind of funny

0:53:13.800 --> 0:53:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to me because I'm like, ah, that doesn't make any sense.

0:53:16.360 --> 0:53:20.160
<v Speaker 1>But the five four and a half five stars do

0:53:20.280 --> 0:53:22.440
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that if you've gotten a copy of the book,

0:53:22.840 --> 0:53:24.920
<v Speaker 1>if you leave a review, that would be great. If

0:53:24.960 --> 0:53:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you tell your friends, that's even better. Now, some of

0:53:28.000 --> 0:53:30.920

<v Speaker 1>And what I do is I come up with this show,

0:53:45.840 --> 0:53:49.240
<v Speaker 1>so you get the phone calls, you get the daily

0:53:49.520 --> 0:53:52.920
<v Speaker 1>or the weekly tech tidbits, and usually the episode comes

0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:54.439
<v Speaker 1>out on Friday, where I just kind of talk about

0:53:54.480 --> 0:53:56.160
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff I think you should know. I will

0:53:56.200 --> 0:53:59.560
<v Speaker 1>tell you my theory as a tech reporter. Right, there

0:53:59.600 --> 0:54:02.160
<v Speaker 1>are lots of tech folks out there, and I'm friends

0:54:02.160 --> 0:54:04.080
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of them. I love what we do.

0:54:04.520 --> 0:54:07.480
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is what I try to do, and

0:54:07.520 --> 0:54:09.320
<v Speaker 1>this is something that's a little bit different than a

0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:11.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of other folks out there, is I try to

0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:14.840
<v Speaker 1>just tell you the real deal. So I'm not sitting

0:54:14.920 --> 0:54:18.680
<v Speaker 1>there as the you know, expert star reviewer of the

0:54:18.719 --> 0:54:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy S ten. Right, You've got plenty of people that

0:54:21.239 --> 0:54:23.319
<v Speaker 1>sit there and you know, look at the specs and

0:54:23.360 --> 0:54:26.440
<v Speaker 1>analyze this and figure out. You know, DxO Mark is

0:54:26.440 --> 0:54:28.279
<v Speaker 1>going to look at the cameras. But like I'm telling you,

0:54:28.320 --> 0:54:31.040
<v Speaker 1>as a real person, as a person that has seen

0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different devices and a lot of technology,

0:54:33.600 --> 0:54:36.440
<v Speaker 1>is this app worth it? Is this phone worth it?

0:54:36.480 --> 0:54:38.799
<v Speaker 1>Is this something you should be concerned about? Is this

0:54:38.880 --> 0:54:41.000
<v Speaker 1>a good deal? Is this not a good deal? That's

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.839
<v Speaker 1>where I'm coming from. So I love giving you guys

0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:45.719
<v Speaker 1>my opinion on this stuff. But again I'm coming from

0:54:45.760 --> 0:54:49.080
<v Speaker 1>a place of I'm a consumer, you're a consumer. I'm

0:54:49.120 --> 0:54:51.120
<v Speaker 1>just trying to arm you with the information because you're

0:54:51.120 --> 0:54:53.680
<v Speaker 1>busy at your job every day. I understand that I'm

0:54:53.680 --> 0:54:56.399
<v Speaker 1>busy following all this tech stuff every day. So when

0:54:56.440 --> 0:54:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I talk about an app or if I tell you

0:54:58.440 --> 0:55:00.759
<v Speaker 1>about something, it's because I think think it's interesting and

0:55:00.800 --> 0:55:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you should know about it. I think you

0:55:02.160 --> 0:55:04.680
<v Speaker 1>should at least be aware of it. So that's my

0:55:04.800 --> 0:55:07.880
<v Speaker 1>theory behind what I do. Not everyone's like that. A

0:55:07.880 --> 0:55:10.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of people a lot of flash, not a lot

0:55:10.600 --> 0:55:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of substance. And I'm not throwing shade at my fellow

0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:16.120
<v Speaker 1>tech reporters, but I'm just telling you, you know, if

0:55:16.160 --> 0:55:17.880
<v Speaker 1>you see me as someone who is. You know, you

0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:20.239
<v Speaker 1>see me making mistakes here, you see the audio levels

0:55:20.280 --> 0:55:22.800
<v Speaker 1>are messed up, you see this podcast evolving. It's because

0:55:22.840 --> 0:55:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving you. I'm showing you the behind the scenes

0:55:25.520 --> 0:55:28.600
<v Speaker 1>process of what it takes to actually be a working

0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:31.160
<v Speaker 1>tech reporter in this world. So not everything I do

0:55:31.280 --> 0:55:33.239
<v Speaker 1>is going to be perfect, Not every picture I take

0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:36.040
<v Speaker 1>is going to be great, Not every live show I

0:55:36.120 --> 0:55:37.759
<v Speaker 1>do is going to be one hundred percent, you know,

0:55:38.000 --> 0:55:41.520
<v Speaker 1>buttoned up. It's because I'm showing you what it's like

0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:43.880
<v Speaker 1>to actually do this stuff, and I'm learning as they

0:55:43.920 --> 0:55:46.920
<v Speaker 1>go along, and I'm also kind of imparting the information

0:55:47.000 --> 0:55:49.280
<v Speaker 1>that I think you should know. So that's my spiel.

0:55:49.360 --> 0:55:51.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm sticking to it. If you want links to everything

0:55:51.320 --> 0:55:52.839
