WEBVTT - Yes, your car is spying on you 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:14.840 A review of Apple's new air tags. Your car is 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.560 spying on you, but you probably already knew that. How 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.640 to scan in your old slides? Plus your tech questions answered? 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.800 What's going on? I'm Rich Dumiro and this is Rich 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.760 on Tech, the podcast where I talk about the tech 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.600 stuff I think you should know about. It's also the 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.199 place where I answer the questions you send me. And 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.040 believe me, I say it all the time.

Although 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.160 maybe it's just because you like the free tech help. 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.879 I don't know, whatever it is, thanks for sending them in. 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.120 I will do my best to answer your questions here. 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.200 My name is Rich Dmiro, tech reporter at KTLA Channel 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:55.120 five in Los Angeles. Thank you so much for tuning 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.040 me in. Oh, I forgot to start a time or whatever. 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.440 I'll just do this on the fly. So I'm broadcasting 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.520 right now to Twitter spaces, which I have not used before, 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.680 but I figured, I don't know. I mean, it's kind 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.080 of a fun thing, right If you just want to 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.440 tune in hear the podcast being recorded, why not. It's 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.440 kind of fun. Lots going on in the tech world 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:21.200 this week. Got a little little Apple trial going on. 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.880 You know, you've got Apple battling or I guess you 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:29.480 got it's really Epic battling Apple. Epic makes Fortnite one 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.039 of the most popular games in the world. Apple makes 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.679 the iPhone one of the most popular phones in the world, 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.720 and of course the App Store. And what I find 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:44.560 fascinating about this entire little skirmish what do you want 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.400 to call it, you know between these two big companies, 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.080 is that Apple all the stuff coming out of the 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:56.120 trial is is kind of like making me like Apple less. Now. 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.520 I already knew that Apple was very you know, pacific 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.680 in the way that they deal with their stuff, you know, 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.040 the way they market things, the way that they you know, 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.280 kind of want to make you get in their ecosystem 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.560 with the iPhone, and I message not being you know, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.359 everything Apple does is one sided, right they I mean, 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.840 they want to make sure that everything you use keeps 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:25.079 you in the Apple ecosystem. And just seeing the emails 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.960 come out of this trial and seeing the thought behind 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.240 all of this is like it's kind of icky, Like 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.280 it makes me like I'm reading it and I'm kind 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.720 of like cringing because it's so gross to me. Like 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.160 when I think about something like Google, and I think 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.040 about how open they are and how they are they literally, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.680 when they do something, they do it for the entire 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.440 world at once, right, no matter what language you speak, 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.120 no matter what operating system you use, no matter what 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.520 style of phone you have, whether it's a really high 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.400 powered phone or whether it's a really an expensive phone 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.080 that might cost twenty five dollars in developing country. So 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.560 that's what I've always appreciated about Google. Now I appreciate 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.720 a lot about Apple. I think that they make some 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.680 amazing products. I mean, the Apple Watch is something that 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.119 I've I've talked about I just can't live without, and 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.680 you know, other things like the iPhone, the camera and 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.880 the video and just the quality of what they've built 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.880 is amazing. But it comes at a cost. And the 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.760 cost is they have engineered every step of the way 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.280 to make sure that they have figured out how to 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.040 keep people in their system in the best way possible. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.880 And a lot of times that involves things like, hey, 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.320 you know, we don't want you to use a third 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.800 party payment system because that's too easy for you to 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.760 like move to a different system. If you've got a 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.600 whole bunch of apps that you know, work on iPhone 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.960 and Android or something like that. So anyway, I just 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.840 think that the the ramifications of this trial for me personally, 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.640 are just kind of like I'm trying not to read 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.120 so much of it because every time I read it, 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:55.920 I'm just like, I don't I don't know what I 0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:00.080 think about this, but we'll keep we'll keep tabs on that, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.680 and I don't know. I just I just feel like 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.440 I love Apple and I love what they do, but 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.920 I also see kind of like the dark side of Apple. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.600 And I know it's not something that's new, but it's 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.280 just it's like when it's on display in these emails 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.400 in this trial, I just like, oh, like, there's a 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.479 reason why you can't subscribe to Netflix inside the Netflix app. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.559 There's a reason why you can't buy a Kindle book 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.280 inside the Amazon app, you know, and it goes on 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.479 and on and on. There's a reason why maybe you 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.520 could subscribe to Spotify at this point, I don't know, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.159 but there's a reason why all these little subscription costs, 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.279 you know, ten percent more, twenty percent more if you 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.599 subscribe through the iPhone versus you know, going on the web. 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.919 But you would never see those two prices on the 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.280 iPhone app because you know, Apple doesn't allow that. So 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.440 it's just little things like that. And you know, I 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.039 deal with the average consumer. You know, my my segment, 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.520 my spot in life with my tech stuff is for 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.839 the average person, and the average person is not keeping 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.360 up with all the little nuances of the differences of 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.520 life on iOS versus is Android, or the differences in 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.440 life between what Google is doing and what Apple's doing 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.800 or what other companies are doing. So that's why I 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:08.760 keep up with it. And I do notice the differences. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.560 You know, I do switch between iPhone and Android quite often, 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.360 and so I'm noticing, you know, the limitations of both platforms. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.360 So anyway, something to keep out an eye on. And 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.200 it's just been very very interesting for me to kind 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.880 of to keep track of that whole situation. All right, 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:30.000 let's get to the first question of the day. It 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.800 comes from Kristin. Kristin says, hey, Rich, I've been trying 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.839 to research any sound systems that would allow you to 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.320 separate music from dialogue. As a senior, I really need 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.240 to find a way to turn down the music and 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.839 TV and movies so I can hear the dialogue. I 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.440 have to believe someone has created a feature or device. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.400 I wish you had the expertise to create one because 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.880 us baby boomers are in dire need of help. Is 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.000 this technology out there? Thanks Kristin. Yes, Kristin, it is 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.880 because it is a feature on my Son's soundbar. And 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.080 I was trying. You know, it's funny because you know 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.600 every movie is the same, right, or every TV show 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.960 when it's like a big especially if you're watching in 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.679 a house with like the kids, it's like you're sitting 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.800 there and you know you're watching this movie and the 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.400 loud scene, like the chase scene or the explosion scene 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.240 is like whoa, it's so loud. And then when people 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.719 are talking, you're like, wait, what are they saying? I 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.520 can't hear them. So this is not just a senior moment. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.160 This is a moment for everyone. We've all experienced this. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.719 And in in my soundbar. I've got the son soundbar. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.400 It's it's an aging device at this point, it's been 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:36.800 around for a while. A lot of my son No 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.480 stuff is. In fact, I need to buy a new 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:42.200 speaker from them. Two new speakers were on my list, 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.440 the new son No's Rome, which is their Bluetooth speaker 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.560 I want to get, and then also I need a 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.919 new Play five, which is kind of their biggest standard speaker. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.359 But they call it speech enhancement. So what it does 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.599 is it boosts the audio frequencies associated with the human voice. 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.440 Turning this feature on will make dialogue easier to hear. 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.920 So what I would do if you're going to get 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.320 a soundbar or even with your TV, just search your 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:12.280 TV name or your soundbar name along with speech enhancement 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:17.240 or like voice clarity or you know, hear speech better, 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:18.920 you know those kind of things, and you'll see if 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.000 that feature is available on your system. If it's not, 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.320 you could invest in a soundbar that would I think 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.160 any soundbar would help in general, just because the TV 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.440 speakers are generally terrible. But I think that look for 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.280 one that specifically has this feature. I can't recommend the 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.360 Sons one. I mean, as much as I love it, 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.760 it's just way too expensive. Now they do have a 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.480 cheaper so no soundbar that I've seen at Costco that's 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.400 sort of like a smaller one and I'm trying to 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.760 see here it is. I think it's called the Beam. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.600 Is that the one? Yeah? The so No's Beam is 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.560 four hundred dollars, so it's still expensive, but you know, 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.800 I think it's it's less expensive, and I'm guessing that 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.840 they would have yeah, speech enhancement is oh wow. Beam 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.320 was specially tuned by Oscar winning sound engineers to emphasize 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.880 the sound of human voice. So you know what what 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.080 I would say, Kristen, if you are looking for a soundbar, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.120 Sons Beam is the way you want to go three 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.040 ninety nine. You can finally hear your dialogue in your movies, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.000 and I think that is going to be the best 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.520 way to go. If you're looking for a less expensive one, 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.760 just look for a sound clarity feature on that soundbar. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:30.320 It's definitely there. Believe me. If you hear meowing in 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.880 my home today, yes I'm working from home. If you 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:39.040 hear me owing near the studio, my wife yesterday thought 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.400 it was a good idea. She's been having an eye 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.800 on fostering cats or kittens specifically. My kids really want 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.400 a pet, but I've been saying no because you know, 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.640 we travel a lot. We were always out and it's 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.640 just it's tough to to have a pet in believing 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.400 we've had a dog in the past, and it's it's 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:57.880 a lot of work, especially when you go away on 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.960 the weekends. You know, you're sitting there bringing the dog 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.640 to a kennel or not a kettle. That's it's probably 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.120 not a nice word anymore. What's a border? I don't know. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:08.600 We used to bring them to like this little place 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.559 that was like, you know, at some point it was 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.360 someone's house, and then you know, now we've got we 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.280 had a place that was you know, a little bit 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.040 bigger than that. But anyway, it's a lot. So anyway, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.800 my wife thought that fostering kittens would be a good 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.960 idea for the kids, and so she did, and she 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:27.000 picked up not one, not two, but three kittens yesterday, 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.960 and the kids, I will say, my two sons were 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:36.000 absolutely loving them. They were just I mean, I've never 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.800 seen them on better behavior yesterday than in my entire life, 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.960 and they were just so good. They played with them 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.160 the entire afternoon. I cuddled with them while I watched 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.840 TV last night. I mean, yes, they're fun, but they 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.040 are all over the place. I mean, three little tiny 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.880 cats that are like, I don't know, a couple weeks old, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.440 and I have to feed them something called gruel, which 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.840 is like mixed up wet cat food. I don't know. 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.880 I haven't done it yet, but I have to do 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.240 it today. So anyway, if you hear the me owing, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.839 that's the story. And I do. Look, I love little 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.240 animals like this, They're so cute, but it's just it's 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.600 so much work already. Like my kids were exhausted, they 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.839 were they were begging me to go to sleep last night. 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.920 And to me, that's a win in my book. All Right, Ah, 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:20.840 I digress. Let's talk about Apple's AirTag tracker now. And 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.720 my last couple of podcasts I talked about how I 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.520 think this is just the most amazing product to ever 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.160 be invented when it comes to trackers, and I know, 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.880 I got so much stuff on my Facebook page, like 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.040 people challenging me like well, how is this any different 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.040 than the tile? And I'm like, look, I mean I 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.640 get it. Yes, Tyle came up with this idea many 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.640 many years ago. This is not a new thing. GPS 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.760 trackers have been around for a long time. This is 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.560 not a GPS tracker. But the beauty of this device, 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.679 this twenty nine dollars AirTag, is that it is working 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.439 with the find my network and to find. My network 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.640 is comprised of nearly a billion Apple gadgets helping to 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.040 locate your stuff. Now. Apple sent me a few devices 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.199 to test out. I've been testing them for the past 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.040 bit and I will say they're amazing. I mean I 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.120 put them on my keys, I put them in my backpack. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.520 I gave my wife one to test on her keys, 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:17.360 and they're simply amazing. I mean they are something that 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.600 will make you never lose your stuff ever again. Now, 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.000 in my review on ktla dot com slash tech, I 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.800 said that they're great for stuff, not so good for people. 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.440 The reason I said they're not so great for people 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.160 is because there are some privacy concerns and I'm not gonna, 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.320 you know, rehash all the privacy concerns, but yeah, it's 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.120 like you slip this into someone's bag and you will 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.319 know where they are and it may be a while 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:48.880 before they realize that this thing is with them. So 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:51.880 you know, it's good and it's bad, and it's like 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.200 all technology. And I've said that before. So the device, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.440 in case you're not familiar, has a small user replaceable battery. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.840 It lasts for a year. You can up to sixteen 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.920 of them to an Apple ID and then once you 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:05.640 have that linked up, you can see the location of 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.600 your item on a map. There's no monthly fees. You 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.959 can ping the device when it's nearby. So the number 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.320 one used case scenario is that your keys are in 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.480 your house and you're looking for them. You go on 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.040 your phone, you press ping my air tag, and you 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.800 hear the little sound that the air tag makes and 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.040 you find it. Now, if you have a newer iPhone 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.959 eleven or twelve, you can use the precision finding feature, 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:31.000 which uses this special ultra wideband chip on both these 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.480 devices to literally lead you to the device. It's like 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.880 your phone will say turn to the left, Okay, go 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.960 one hundred feet or whatever, and it's not that far, 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:42.880 but you know that works when it's close by. Then finally, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.880 if you want to call in the network, you can 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.000 do that and you can see the air tag on 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.520 the bigger network. And like I said, when I tested 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.520 it with my wife on her key chain, with her 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.520 you know, of course approval, I was able to see 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.840 where she was pretty much at all times. This is 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.840 not real time. There's no GPS here, but Apple's network 0:12:59.920 --> 0:13:03.320 is so vast and so thorough that chances are you 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.920 will pretty much see where this thing is all the time. 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.080 Now again, I said that there's some some safeguards built 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.640 in to keep people from abusing these, but the reality 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.480 is people are going to abuse these. And you know, 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.320 I was trying to think, like, Okay, let's say worst 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.160 case scenario, have got an X right, an X situation, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.000 and you know that person already knows where you live 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.600 and where you work, and so it's not like this 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.319 would be new information. But the reality is, yeah, there's 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.640 definitely some like icky ways that these things could be used. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.760 So I think Apple is going to continue to kind 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:39.360 of hone these things in, you know, not to use 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.680 a pun, but you know, hone in on the software, 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.320 make it better, make you know, learn from the situations 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.760 that happen out there. But I think they're amazing. And 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.560 if you're in the Apple ecosystem, which by the way, 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.320 this will lock you in. This will this will lock 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.640 you in and throw out the key. Once you've got 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.319 an air tag, you are not switching to anything else 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.440 because the fact that you can just see all your 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.840 stuff on a map, it's gonna be hard to replicate 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.120 that with anything else, even the competing trackers. So once 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:14.040 you're in, I think you'll really like these, all right, 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.359 Mark says Rich. Question, sir, I have a movie projector 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.800 that I used outside with an inflatable movie screen, but 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.680 I'd like to use it. Will my kids wearing wireless 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.720 use it with my kids wearing wireless headphones and not 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.480 having loudspeakers disturbing our neighbors. Is there device to use 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:36.400 for multiple Bluetooth speakers from one source, respectfully? Mark? Uh? Yeah, Mark, 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:41.240 you can just go on Amazon and search Bluetooth transmitter 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:47.320 and I would type in multiple Bluetooth transmitter for multiple devices. Uh. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:52.960 The one that I see is two devices, So I'm 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.560 sure there's one that has more, but in general, I 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.560 think two would probably be the best. If you're gonna 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.480 get more. I mean, look, I they know they do 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.600 more than two, because I've done a story with this 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.400 thing called a uh, oh my gosh, what's it called. 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.320 It's a silent like disco. Yeah, that's what it was, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.480 a silent disco. And everyone at the silent disco, I'm 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.840 talking like, you know, one hundred people had headphones on 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.960 with Bluetooth that were listening to the DJ. And so 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.440 clearly there is some sort of system that can broadcast 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.800 Bluetooth to a lot of different devices, So I don't 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.360 think you need that. That's a little little extreme, but 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.800 you can definitely get a system that has multiple devices. 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.080 From what I'm just seeing with a quick search here, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.400 it looks like two devices is kind of the standard. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.760 So I didn't know. You didn't say how many kids 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.920 you have, But if you got two kids they both 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.880 want to listen, there you go. Now, some of the 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.600 headphones out there, you can kind of chain them together. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.080 So I think I'm wondering if the pure ones do this, 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.600 but you know, you basically the kids can have one 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.680 of them is Bluetooth, and then you can kind of 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.000 take up cable and connect that to the other headphone 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.800 and that would give you maybe four headphones. So there's 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.760 lots of ways to do it. I just search Bluetooth 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.080 transmitter multiple devices on Amazon, and as long as your 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:13.240 projector has a Bluetooth connection or actually, you know what, 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.200 you don't even need Bluetooth connection. You probably just plug 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.320 it in with the headphone jack and then it would 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.120 bluetooth out. So there might be a little latency there. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.280 I don't think it'll be too much of a big deal, 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.360 but yeah, those the movie nights are starting up again. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.680 We did this last summer and it's just so much fun. 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.280 The kids love it. There's something great about having that 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.440 giant screen in the backyard with the movie playing. It's 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.800 just such a fun experience, Like even if you've watched 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.840 the movie before, Because if you've listened to my podcast, 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.200 you know, I'd ever like to pay for anything like streaming, 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.960 Like I like to whatever is on my streaming services 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.760 I subscribe to. That's what we're watching. And so maybe 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.360 I'll break this out tonight. I don't know how cold 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:51.920 it's going to be, but maybe it'd be fun to 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:56.560 watch that. What's that new movie everyone's talking about Mitchell's 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.960 Versus the Machines on Netflix. I've gotten like no less 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.080 and two text messages from friends saying have you watched 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.800 this yet? And I'm like, no, I didn't even know 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:09.760 about it. And comedy sci fi, and it sounds sounds great. 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.960 A quirky, dysfunctional families road trip is upended when they 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.600 find themselves in the middle of the robot apocalypse. That 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:20.080 sounds fantastic. Can't wait to watch that. Any movie that 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.320 is a kid's movie that I can watch with my 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.280 kids is a win in my book, because there's not 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.960 many of them, and so I just I love it 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:29.879 when I can find a movie hopefully what was the 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.120 rating on that? I didn't even check it. Let's see 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.480 PG perfect, Okay, love it all right, so we'll be 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.400 watching that. But yeah, Mark, that's what i'd recommend, and 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:42.199 good luck. Let me know what you find. Okay, all right, 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.480 let's move on to your car. Now. This is something 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.200 that I've sort of known for a while, but it's 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.520 always it's always interesting to see it in print. And 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.040 this is an article out of the Intercept. Actually a 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.480 guy named Sam Biddle who I used to I worked 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.960 with him once at We did a CEES show for 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.000 Spike TV back in the day. This was ces like 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.040 oh my gosh, two thousand and twelve, I think or 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.840 something like that. So we worked together a long long 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.080 time ago. But Sam has done really well for himself. 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.920 He writes a lot of this stuff, investigation type pieces. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.160 This is one of them. Law enforcement agencies are purchasing 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.320 this technology called iv ive. It's a vehicle forensics kit 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.960 and once you hook it up to a car, it 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:30.280 can extract all kinds of information. And he says it 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.200 can sync the data from your phone, like if you 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.919 connected your phone to your I always wonder about this, Like, 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.480 you know, when I get a rental car, you know, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.760 first thing you do, you plug in your phone, right, Well, 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.720 how much of the data from my phone stays on 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.280 that rental car? Is it? Like the contents of my 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.679 text messages? Is it? You know, all of my contacts? 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.720 Like how much is actually synced to that car? Versus 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.280 just displayed on that car? And I'm very unclear on that, honestly. 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.199 And I always say no when a car says, oh, 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.720 we have access to your messages, I said no, can 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.600 we have access to your contacts? No? I say no 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.639 to all of those things. I'm not gonna let some 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:10.360 random car just you know, suck all the data out 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.440 of my phone. Then, of course, when you return the car, 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.880 the rental car, you forget to clear the phone off 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.639 of it. You should always do that in general. But 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.680 of course I just returned a rental car, and I 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.639 didn't do that. Twice to rental cars in last month. Uh, 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.440 Hawaii won, by the way, very expensive. I cannot believe 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.120 how much I actually I have another rental car coming 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.359 up soon, and it's also very Actually all three have 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.960 been very, very expensive. I could have bought a car. 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.040 I could have bought a car for a year for 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.199 the amount I've paid now in rental car prices. And 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:41.919 it's just one of these things where what are you 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:43.520 gonna do? Like my wife and I, like, you know, 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:44.960 when we go on a trip, like, what are you 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.000 gonna do not get a rental car? Like we went 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.199 to Hawaii? What are you gonna do not drive around? 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:51.760 Like the one day you're sitting there, like, oh, be 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.080 so nice to go to that giant state park. That's 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.640 amazing that we flew five thousand, three thousand miles here 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.359 for Yeah, we'll just stay here. I mean, you know, 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.200 if you use it a couple of days out of 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.760 your trip, like it doesn't pay for itself, but it 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:10.879 certainly feels like it's worth it. Anyway. I digress. I 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:12.720 digress a lot on this show, in case you didn't 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.200 know that anyway, So can download this is the other 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.280 part your car if you have like an even like 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:25.560
