Speaker 1: months ago, Well, now they are in people's homes. We'll

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: get an update from Ilia about how that is working

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: out and how you can get your hands on a

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: free TV. And later on, Ben Weiss's CEO of coin Flip,

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: is going to talk about the big movements this week

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: with bitcoin. If you haven't checked your bitcoin lately, if

42
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: you have some, now might be a good time. And

43
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: by the way, we might also have a special guest

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: on the show, a very special guest. If I can

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: convince this guest to come on, I will get them

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: to come on. And I think you'll enjoy this because

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: it's a person very near and dear to my heart.

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: And you've heard me talk about them a lot, so

49
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: I think it'd be fun if they came on.

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: One year of the show.

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Now, I told you last week we're celebrating one year

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: of this show. What I did not tell you was

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: the news that I got this week that we have

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: expanded this show in a big way. We have added

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: multiple multiple stations across the US. Yes, we are syndicated

56
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: across now three hundred and fifty affiliates. So thanks to

57
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: you for making this show the best tech show. We've

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: had a little ways to go before we take over

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: some of the big guys out there, but I think

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: that we are doing really, really well. Thank you, Bobo.

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I love this quote from Julie Talbot. This is the

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: president of Premieer Networks, the company that syndicates this show.

63
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: We are so proud of the continued growth and success

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: of Rich on Tech. We partnered with rich DeMuro to

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: create a fresh, intelligent, and entertaining program covering the world

66
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: of technology, and we couldn't be happier with the result.

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: We look forward to celebrating many more milestones together. And

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: I said that the secret to this show is really you.

69
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: It's the emails, it's the questions, it's the comments because

70
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: that keeps me sort of. I see all this tech

71
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: stuff at the tech shows and the products I cover,

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: but it's you that tells me what you need to

73
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: know about this stuff. So, yeah, you have an iPhone,

74
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: but how do you do this? What about this app?

75
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: Or what about that for my computer? Or you know,

76
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: what's the best TV to get? So that's really fun

77
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: and very excited about that. This week has been CS

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: here in Las Vegas. What a week it's been. I mean,

79
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Las Vegas definitely the coldest I have ever experienced.

80
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: During CS, so that's been interesting.

81
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: But this was a big show because it was kind

82
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: of like the CES that we have been missing in

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: previous years because of the pandemic, because of you know,

84
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: coming back from the pandemic. This year it was one

85
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: hundred percent back, one hundred and thirty five thousand attendees,

86
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: forty three hundred exhibitors. So I'm going to do my

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: best throughout this show to tell you about some of

88
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: the best stuff I saw.

89
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: But the show has.

90
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: Wrapped, a lot of people have gone home, some people

91
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: have stayed for the weekend. But it was a big

92
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: show this year and there's a lot to see, so

93
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: I will be going over a lot of that. And

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: by the way, they already announced next year's date, CS

95
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five happening January seventh through tenth, and I'm

96
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: already booking my hotel room. By the way, if you

97
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: want to see some of the things that I saw

98
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: here at CS that I thought were pretty interesting, I've

99
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: been posting them on my Instagram. So if you go

100
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: to Instagram at Richon Tech, you can go and check

101
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: out all little things that I've posted, all the reels

102
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: that have been posted to my Instagram, So those are

103
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: things that I think are interesting enough for a reel.

104
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: But then if you go to my profile page, you'll

105
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: see this little circle it says CS twenty twenty four.

106
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 2: That's called a highlight.

107
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: That's on my Instagram page and it has all the

108
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: stories that I posted, so everything that I posted. You know,

109
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: stories on Instagram go away after like twenty four hours,

110
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: so this way they stick around forever, well until I

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: delete them. But you can watch all the different stories

112
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: that I posted there. What else, Oh, finally got to

113
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: go to the sphere, so I did a story on

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: the sphere. I'm sure you've seen that unless you live

115
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: under a Rock. This is that giant dome that looms

116
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: over Las Vegas, five hundred and sixteen feet wide, three

117
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: hundred six six feet tall, seating for seventeen thousand, six

118
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: hundred with standing room for twenty thousand. And the big

119
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: big thing about this is the exterior is completely programmable,

120
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty thousand square feet of LEDs.

121
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: And so you've seen the videos.

122
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: I posted one on my Twitter at Richon Tech where

123
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: they're playing Tetris on the exterior. It's been a whole

124
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. You know, you've seen these videos on

125
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: social media and the news. Now the inside has a

126
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: sixteen x sixteen k ultra resolution LED screen and it's

127
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: got all these other things. So it's got like wind,

128
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: it's got scent, your seats move. So I was invited.

129
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: We got to see the movie that they're showing this.

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: It's really an immersive experience. It's called Postcard from Earth.

131
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: It's fifty minutes and I do recommend it. It is

132
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: a completely different way of storytelling. There are some surprises.

133
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna reveal those, but it is really quite incredible.

134
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: So the camera, I got a little hands on time

135
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: with a camera and an interview with some folks at Sphere,

136
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: which I'll err on KTLA soon. But the camera itself

137
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: is just absolutely wild. I mean, it records so much video.

138
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: It one drive only records I think like seventeen seconds

139
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: of video or something wild like that. It's it's really,

140
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: it's really quite incredible. So you go inside this sphere

141
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: and there's an entire like pre show where you interact

142
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: with these robots and you know, you make like a

143
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: virtual avatar of yourself.

144
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: And then once you go.

145
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: Into the show, that's when it starts, and you're in

146
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 1: this big dome like experience and it's not unlike anything

147
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: you've ever seen. The best way I can describe it,

148
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: it had a little bit of a hint of that

149
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: ride at Disney the Sore and over California. And then also,

150
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, if you've ever been on like Back to

151
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: the Future back in the day a Universal Studios, it's

152
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: kind of like that, but like think about that times

153
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: one hundred using today's technology, and this is stuff that's

154
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: really never been done before. The screen is so big

155
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: it just takes up the entire inside of this sphere

156
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: and you're all in there and it's you know, the

157
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: audience is just kind of all. No one's ever experienced

158
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: something like this before, so it really was quite incredible.

159
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: It's expensive, that is the other side of this.

160
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: The tickets.

161
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, you're watching a movie and tickets could be

162
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: one hundred to one hundred and seventy dollars so and

163
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: maybe even more, I'm not sure, but it's a very

164
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: expensive experience. But it was funny because I was asking

165
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: some people afterwards, just you know, random people kind of

166
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: after you know, we were milling about getting out of there,

167
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: and I said, ah, what do you think and they said, oh,

168
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: it's a lot cheaper than the Disney World. And so,

169
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, you come to Vegas, you want to try

170
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: something different, and this is definitely something to try. By

171
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: the way, the resolution for that camera is eighteen k

172
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: so's it's just wild, wild, wild stuff that you see there,

173
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: so highly recommended if you come to Vegas to check

174
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: out sphere. That is definitely something that is a must

175
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: do here.

176
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: What else?

177
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: Okay, So CS I talked to you about that part

178
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: of CS is really making friends, schmoozing, seeing old friends,

179
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: and I did a couple of things regarding that, and

180
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: one of them was this YouTube dinner I went to.

181
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: Now YouTube, you know, YouTubers are all over cs, you know,

182
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: social media. It's such a big thing to just create

183
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: little videos of the stuff you see at CS. And

184
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: so I've become friends with some of these YouTubers, and

185
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, I got invited to this dinner and it

186
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: was all these like very famous tech YouTubers. Like if

187
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: you watch anything technology related on YouTube, you've seen a

188
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: lot of these faces in this room. And so I

189
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: felt like a little bit of a spy because I

190
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: was the only non YouTuber in attendance at this dinner.

191
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: But since I hang with these people and I see

192
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: them at every event I go to, you know, we're

193
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: all friends and we kind of know each other, and so,

194
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, somehow got invited. But it was really fun.

195
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: I ate a lot of stuff I don't typically eat,

196
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: by the way. But what's cool about this And the

197
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: reason I tell you this is because, by the way,

198
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Edwards on YouTube, thanks so much for organizing all

199
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: of But the reason I tell you this is because

200
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: I get to learn from people.

201
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: You know, I do TV, I.

202
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: Do radio, but YouTube is a whole different beast, and

203
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: so by hearing what they do and what they go

204
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: through and what their methods are. It was really interesting

205
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: to kind of see how things work for them versus me.

206
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: And also just talking with like minded tech people is

207
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: really fun. Because I posted a picture on my Instagram stories,

208
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're sitting there chatting and like all four

209
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: of us were wearing an Apple Watch Ultra. It's like,

210
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: when do you see that in a room? You know,

211
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: So it's just stuff like that where you get to

212
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: actually talk about the technology that you're covering, and it's

213
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: it's in a very like, you know, a place where

214
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: you can say what you want and you don't have

215
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: to worry about you know, you can compare notes and

216
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: that's always really fun.

217
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: So I've really always enjoyed that.

218
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: The other thing we did and I'll get some more

219
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: tech stuff in a second here, but the other thing

220
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: we did that was really fun.

221
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: Last night.

222
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: We have a little tradition where my wife meets me

223
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: out after CS ends and we kind of enjoy like

224
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: a dinner, nice dinner to celebrate, you know, a week

225
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: of hell week. I guess if you can call it,

226
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing twenty thousand steps a day here

227
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: in the city. It's it's wild and I'm working like

228
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty hour days, so it's it's pretty wild. So

229
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: we go out to like a nice dinner the last

230
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: night of CS, and we checked out a new restaurant,

231
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: Peter Lugers, which is in Caesar's Palace. This is like

232
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: a famous steakhouse out of New York City. I heard

233
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: about it growing up, you know, It's one of those

234
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: places that like a lot of people have heard of,

235
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: and now they have it at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

236
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: We went last night and it was incredible, the service,

237
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: the whole atmosphere it was.

238
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: It was pretty amazing.

239
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: Eighty seven hundred square foot restaurant seats over three hundred people.

240
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: Looks like the Brooklyn location. Are sort of inspired by

241
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn location, and they built a one million dollar

242
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: dry aging room below the restaurant, so they I mean,

243
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: this place is like top notch. It is a splurge.

244
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: I will tell you that right now. But what isn't

245
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: In Las Vegas. Everything has gotten so expensive here. But

246
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: I will say this is a splurge, but it is

247
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: completely worth it. The restaurant was packed. I mean you're

248
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: talking this place is brand new, and there wasn't. I

249
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: don't think there's an open seat in the entire house,

250
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: and it seats a lot of people. The other thing

251
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: I thought was really cool about this location. I thought

252
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: this was brilliant the way they built the restaurant. They

253
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: have sort of these frosted glass window doors that can

254
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: open and close. So let's say you're there on a

255
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday night, nobody's really there. They can kind of close

256
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: these window panels and they're frosted so you still see

257
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: a little depth behind them, but it looks like that

258
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: is the wall of the restaurant. So I thought that

259
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: was a very brilliant design key because I don't know

260
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: if you've ever been in a restaurant where there are

261
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: not a lot of people in there and it's a

262
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: giant restaurant, it feels like you don't want to be

263
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: there because it's too big and there's no one there,

264
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: and you feel like, well, why am I here? And

265
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: so by making that design choice of being able to

266
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: close these these industrial sort of windows, I thought that

267
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: was very very smart. So if you're in Vegas, definitely

268
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: check it out. We really really enjoyed it and we

269
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: had such a nice time there. All right, Let me

270
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: tell you about this. Oh gosh, this thing, this Rabbit device. Okay,

271
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: this is the Rabbit R one AI companion. This was

272
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: launched at CS and I did not go hands on

273
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: with this sadly, but it's an AI companion device and

274
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: it runs this thing called rabbit OS and what it

275
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: does is it aims to provide an app free experience

276
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: using a large language model, so basically sort of a

277
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: chat gpt AI. And so what it did was they

278
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: taught this thing by looking at how humans use their

279
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: apps on their smartphone, and then the device learned how

280
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: to do that. So now you can say, oh, call

281
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: me an uber and it will just do that and

282
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: it will figure out what you would press on the

283
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: app to do that. But it does it all on

284
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: this little tiny device, So it carries out digital tasks

285
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: through rabbits. These are personal AI agents that are trained

286
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: for specific apps and workflows. It has a touchscreen, it

287
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: has a push to talk button, it has a little camera,

288
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: and it also has Wi Fi and cellular and so

289
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: this is one hundred ninety nine dollars.

290
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: This really got a lot of buzz.

291
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: At the show because so many companies are trying to

292
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: figure out a way of making us less reliant on

293
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: our screens because we are so addicted to our smartphones.

294
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: But how can you do the stuff that we do

295
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: on our smartphones, Hey, send a message to this person,

296
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: catch me up on my email? How do you do

297
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: that without actually looking at a screen. So the idea

298
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: here is that the AI does everything you would do,

299
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: taps all those buttons, but it's all happening in the background,

300
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: and nothing is actually showing on the screen except the

301
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: information you need to know. So again, this is called

302
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: the Rabbit R one and they've already sold like twenty

303
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: thousand of these in pre orders one hundred ninety nine dollars,

304
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: and the next pre order is open now. But you

305
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,239
Speaker 1: can't even get these things that to like may pretty wild.

306
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,680

317
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: All right, so this week I interviewed Gary Shapiro, President

318
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: and CEO at the Consumer Technology Association. This is the

319
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: trade group that puts on CES every year. Let's hear

320
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: what he had to say about this year's show.

321
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: Explain CS for someone who's never been.

322
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: Well CS, try and explain is like trying to explain

323
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: ice cream to someone who's never had it.

324
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: It's called it's fun, it tastes great.

325
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: CES is exciting, it's all about innovation. It's where the

326
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: world gathers for the business of technology. We'll have up

327
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: to one hundred three thousand people from around the world

328
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: and they will be able to see four thousand plus

329
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: different companies exhibiting on the show floor.

330
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 4: And the show floor is huge.

331
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: It's two convention centers plus some several hotels, and that

332
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: will have two point five million net square feet of

333
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: exhibit space, which for the average person doesn't it's about

334
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: thirty plus football fields of exhibit space.

335
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Is there any way for a mere mortal to see

336
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: it all?

337
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: No, it's impossible.

338
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: We have to have In a few years, we'll have

339
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: an artificial intelligence robot that.

340
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: Will do the whole thing in four days.

341
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've already hinted about the themes. Give me

342
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: the big themes of this year's show.

343
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: Well, the overall envelope is sustainability and a better world

344
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,359
Speaker 3: through fundamental human securities like food, clean air and clean water, healthcare,

345
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: things like mobility. And this is UN the UN is

346
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: represented here and that's what it's about, is making the

347
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: world better for people. But the ingredient that's really big

348
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: this year that really wasn't around us last year is

349
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: the new type of AI AI plus and basically artificial

350
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 3: intelligence but that learns, machine learning, others and now will

351
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: be the best example people could understand is, you know

352
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 3: there's cars that actually are self driving. There's navigational systems

353
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: we'll familiar with. But how do you get to that, Well,

354
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: you learn the car navigational systems.

355
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 5: They don't learn.

356
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 3: Now, you always go a certain way the car wants

357
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: to take you the way it wants to take you to.

358
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 4: Cars will learn.

359
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 3: Cars will learn about and make you better for healthcare,

360
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 3: they'll learn what actually works for you individually or people

361
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: with your demographics, blood type, DNA, everything, they'll learn educationally

362
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: how kids learn what's best. They'll learn from a safety perspective.

363
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 3: You know, the seat in your car may figure out

364
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: that you're about to get sick, and here's the steps

365
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: you should take.

366
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: And of course they'll.

367
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 3: They'll learn in many others fields of human endeavor that

368
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: will make us better.

369
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: Tell me about the importance of an in person gathering

370
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: like this.

371
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: Well, I feel we're back in a big way because

372
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: it's been a long haul since COVID. Obviously, we had

373
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: one pure digital event and then we had other events

374
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: that we're not as encouraging as they should because there

375
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: was a lot of issues surrounding them. This one is

376
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 3: back bigger. It's up double digits by every measure over

377
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: our last year's edition, and we are basically have established

378
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: at the CEO level of companies now a view that

379
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: getting together in person is super important. Look, I'm the

380
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 3: paid cheerleader for the technology world, and I believe strongly

381
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: that you have to have face to face not only

382
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: to build a deeper relationship, but also to discover to

383
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: have serendipity and things about what you don't know see people.

384
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: And also what we need in the technology world to

385
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 3: succeed is you need to have cross industry relationships developed

386
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 3: because there's so much intellectual property, there's so many pounds

387
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: you have to go across industries to develop something even better,

388
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: that's comprehensive and will serve your customers better. You add

389
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: that to the fact that CEOs want to see their

390
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: own employees working together occasionally because so many people are

391
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 3: working from home. The trade shows and CES isn't the

392
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: only one, are really very strong right now because of

393
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: that pent up desire for face to face contact and

394
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: discovery and moving forward in a very competitive business environment.

395
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: I am super charged because this kicks off a tremendous

396
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 3: amount of excitement, optimism, and hope for the future. At

397
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 3: a time when our country and our world are divided,

398
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: it's nice to see people from around the world come.

399
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: We'll have over forty thousand people from outside of the

400
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: United States coming here in a very positive way, wanting

401
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: to do business with each other, and we don't feel

402
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 3: that tension that we seem to feel in the rest

403
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 3: of the world or frank leaving in our own country.

404
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: Again.

405
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: That was Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Technology Association.

406
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 1: They are the trade organization that puts on CES I've

407
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: worked with Gary closely. I did actually host a digital

408
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: CES during the pandemic. I told you about this last week,

409
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: so I knew. I got to know Gary pretty well

410
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: throughout that, and I like his sense of optimism and

411
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: he really is on kind of the bleeding edge when

412
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: it comes to technology because he's working with all these

413
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: companies from around the world to get them here, which

414
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: is no easy feet.

415
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: I mean, there are literally exhibitors.

416
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: From every corner of this planet that all come here

417
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: and this is their big moment. You've got tons of

418
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: media here and tons of people like me with a

419
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: camera and a microphone, and they want to get that

420
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: media attention because if you're a small startup, your video

421
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: going viral can really change things. So thanks to Gary

422
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: for chatting with me, and I'll have more of sort

423
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: of my CS coverage throughout the show, so I will

424
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: have plenty, plenty more of the coolest stuff I saw.

425
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: But I have to mention this leave it to Apple

426
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: to steal the thunder from CEES. I thought this was

427
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: such an interesting move by Apple. First day of CS,

428
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: they put out a press release and what does it say,

429
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: Here's when Apple Vision pro is coming to the market,

430
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: and that is news that a lot of people have

431
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: been waiting for. They want to know the date when

432
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: this Apple Vision Pro headset is going to launch, and

433
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: the date is February second. Now, if you're not familiar

434
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: with what Apple Vision Pro is, this is what's Apple

435
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: calling a spatial computer. I really call it a VR

436
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: virtual reality or augmented reality headset. It does both, but

437
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: it's a new way of experiencing things.

438
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 2: You can work in it.

439
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: You can put a computer screen in there, you can

440
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: watch your movies in there, experience entertainment, you can look

441
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: at your photos in this thing. They're going to have

442
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of apps available at launch. Disney is on board.

443
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: You'll be able to do a ton of this pretty much,

444
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: all kinds of new things. What's unique is that it's

445
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: really high quality. You control it by your eyes. You

446
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: can actually look on the screen to the thing you

447
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: want to select and it will notice that, and you

448
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: can select it using your hand. You can kind of

449
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: tap your fingers together. There's also voice navigation. Hope it's

450
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: a little bit better than Siri.

451
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: You have gaming.

452
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: It's an infinite canvas, so you can put screens in

453
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: your entire vision area. And it's just it's a wild experience.

454
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: I did it once, hope to be doing it again

455
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: very soon before this thing launches, hopefully. But it's really transformative.

456
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It is thirty five hundred dollars,

457
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: so that is going to limit the amount of people

458
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: that are going to purchase this in a big way,

459
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: at least at the start pre orders open on January nineteenth.

460
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: It is going to be available February second and Apple stores.

461
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: If you have prescription lenses, that's going to be an

462
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: extra one hundred and fifty dollars. If you have readers,

463
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: that's an extra ninety nine dollars for the lenses that

464
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: you need to see this thing. But it's kind of

465
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: like having a four K lens on each eye. And

466
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: it's incredible, there's no doubt about it. Apple has done

467
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: their homework and they're doing this better than any company

468
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: I've seen that is doing any sort of VR or

469
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: AR headset. But here's the thing. This is going to

470
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: start a new trend in the industry where there's going

471
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: to be a whole lot of these types of machinery

472
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: out there there. And we saw it a see. Yes,

473
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of these glasses that are like these,

474
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, spatial and not spatial computing. Well yeah, I

475
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: guess they were actually, but just these glasses you put

476
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: on that put a computer in front of your face,

477
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: and and entertainment Netflix.

478
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: I put a couple of them on.

479
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: None of them are as good as Apple, but they're

480
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: all promising, and I think that this entire genre of

481
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: putting glasses on and seeing stuff is going to be

482
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: quite incredible. All right, let's do a question emailed in

483
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: from Steven Hey Rich love your show. I use Apple

484
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: Wallet all the time, but I have store cards that

485
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: I can't store there.

486
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: What would be the best digital wallet app for that?

487
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: Thank you?

488
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: Okay, there is an app called stow Card st o

489
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: c A r D st o c A r D

490
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: And if you haven't Android, Google Wallet will do a

491
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: lot of this. But this this one is kind of

492
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: cool because it does have a lot of retailers on

493
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: board with this. So I'm looking at the mainscreen, It's

494
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: got Duncan's got Gold, Jim cvs, Kroger, Starbucks, Walgreens, Triple A, big,

495
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: lots AARP. Now, if you look in a lot of

496
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: the apps that you download, from these companies, a lot

497
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: of them have an option to send to Google Wallet

498
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: or send to Apple.

499
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: Wallet, so I would try that first.

500
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: Like, for instance, Walgreens, they have that and the benefit

501
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: there is that you get the tap to use it. So,

502
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: for instance, at Walgreens, if you have your Walgreens cards

503
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: stored in Apple Wallet or Google Pay, you'll be able

504
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: to tap at the register to share your number with

505
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: the register. But if you want something that holds all

506
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: these cards, mostly just for organization too. Again, the app

507
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: is called stoke Card sto Card, and it's a great

508
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: way to get organized. I've got a lot of my

509
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: stuff in Apple Wallet. It's funny because I use my

510
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: Apple Wallet the other day Apple Pay and the person

511
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: I was sharing my contact information with an app called

512
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Popple popl it's like a digital business card, and the

513
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: person's like, oh, you have a lot of cards in

514
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: your wallet. I was like, well, yeah, I carry as

515
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: many as I can. I've got like, you know, my Starbucks,

516
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: I've got my Walgreens, I've got my seven to eleven,

517
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: I've got CVS. I mean, any of these cards that

518
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: I can carry in a digital way to me is

519
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: a much better way of doing that, all right. If

520
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: you want a link to anything I mentioned here on

521
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: the show, you can go to keep notes in real time.

522
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: So if you heard me mention something like an app

523
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: like I just did, you can go to what's the wiki?

524
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: It's rich on tech dot tv slash wiki wiki. If

525
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: you want more information on a guest, it is all

526
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: updated in real time. If you want to see information

527
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: about the show after it airs, you can go to

528
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: rich on tech dot tv. There's usually an episode page

529
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: there with all the links there as well. But I

530
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: try to put these links in as much as possible

531
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: because I know you're listening, and I know that you

532
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: want to get these links, and you're not listening with

533
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: a pencil and paper, So it's a much easier way

534
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: of right or getting the information that I talk about.

535
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: All right, Coming up, we still got lots of great guests.

536
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: We've got Michael Fisher, who created a physical keyboard for

537
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: the iPhone.

538
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: We're going to hear an interview with him.

539
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: Plus I'm going to tell you about some more of

540
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: the stuff I saw at CS, including a self rocking

541
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: baby stroller. You don't even have to rock your baby anymore.

542
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: You're listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome back to Rich

543
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking

544
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: technology live from Las Vegas today, recovering from CS twenty

545
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: twenty four. Let's go to line too. Melody is in Carlsbad, Melody.

546
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

547
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: Melody. Are you there?

548
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 6: I am here, Oh there you are.

549
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: Hello, Welcome to the show.

550
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 7: Thank you.

551
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 6: Several years ago I retired, and during my tenure as

552
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 6: a worker for forty some years, I had.

553
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: To use I used.

554
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 6: The Microsoft Word program to do a lot of documents

555
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 6: and newsletters, et cetera. And those were on my home computer.

556
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 6: And so I've continued with that software. But at some point,

557
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 6: maybe about three or four years ago, they changed it

558
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 6: to a subscription program where I had to pay sixty

559
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 6: some bucks a year to continue to use the software.

560
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 6: But sure, I no longer have to do documents and newsletters,

561
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 6: and I really don't.

562
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 8: Use it that much.

563
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: But yes, don't want to pay that money, right, But

564
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: will I be able.

565
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 6: To reference the documents I have previously made with Words

566
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 6: if I do not have the subscription?

567
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

568
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

569
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: This used to be very complicated in the past. It

570
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: is not anymore thanks to so many free tools out there,

571
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: so you'll be just fine. You can continue to make

572
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: these documents in the word format as much as you want,

573
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: and there will be many ways to access them later.

574
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: The easiest way do you have a Gmail or a

575
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: Google account? Yeah, okay, easiest way Google Docs. So take these.

576
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: You can actually do this right now if you want.

577
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: You can go to Google Drive, or you can go

578
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: to Google Docs and you can drag and drop one

579
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: of these files into the screen and it will put

580
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: it into Google Drive, Google Docs, and then you can

581
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: open it and Google will make it so that you

582
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: can edit that file, you can read that file, whatever

583
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: you need to do. It will convert it for you

584
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: on the fly, and so you'll be able to edit,

585
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: you'll be able to read it, you'll be able to

586
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: access it. There will be no there will be no

587
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: issues here whatsoever. So Melody, you can continue to do this,

588
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: but I would recommend that there are many other ways

589
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: as well. If you have a Mac computer, you can

590
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: use pay There are some free office suites online. There

591
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: are some popular ones like open Office and things like that.

592
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: So I mean there's a lot out there, but I

593
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: think that Google Docs is the easiest. That's the one

594
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: that I use, and I think that you're gonna find

595
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: it very very simple to just open these documents, edit

596
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: them right in your web browser and have no problem

597
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: with that whatsoever. Thanks for the call, Melody, appreciate it.

598
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Oh so many things that I talked

599
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: about this week.

600
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: I just wanted to share one quick tip. Okay.

601
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: I was in a briefing and someone did something on

602
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: their smartphone and I'd never seen that before. And what

603
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: they did was this is on Android, by the way,

604
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: And what they did was they were in their messaging

605
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: app okay, and you can try this if you have

606
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: an Android phone, go ahead, follow along with me. So

607
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: go to your messages app, okay, open up a text

608
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: messaging thread, and just pinch on the page to zoom

609
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: like you would pinch on a picture to zoom out

610
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: or zoo in, and the text gets bigger or smaller.

611
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: I had never seen that before. I've been covering this

612
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: stuff for so long, I have never seen that tip before.

613
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: So I posted to my Instagram at rich on Tech,

614
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of people said, hey, where

615
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: if you've been demro, come on, I know all about that,

616
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: but you know the reality is, if I had not

617
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: seen that before. I am sure there are other people

618
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: that have not seen that before. Now, if you try

619
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: this on an iPhone, it does not work. So Apple,

620
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: I know you're listening. Please give us this feature on

621
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: the iPhone as well, because you know people want Sometimes

622
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: you want to zoom in, sometimes you want to zoom out,

623
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: depending on you know, whether we'rearing glasses or not, or

624
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: you want to just see something more clearly. But this

625
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: is a very easy way on Android, Samsung Pixel, any

626
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: Android phone. It's kind of built into the messaging app.

627
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: Just go ahead.

628
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: If you ever need to zoom in on something, just

629
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: select the message and pinch to zoom in or out.

630
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: You can see that little quick tip on my instagram

631
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: at rich On Tech. Let's see here this this is

632
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: something that I saw at see Yes, this was probably

633
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: one of the first gadgets. I'm probably gonna butcher the

634
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: name here, but it's called the glux Kin and g

635
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: l ux ki nd I said glux kind. That is

636
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: not how you say it. It's gluck skin. This is

637
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: a smart self rocking stroller. Now, this company made waves,

638
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: I think about last year because they had a viral

639
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: video that showed the stroller being pushed by itself, and

640
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 1: I did clarify with the company. This thing is an

641
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: AI stroller that has three main things it can do.

642
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: Number one, this is the new version by the way.

643
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: Number one, it has an electric motor to help you

644
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: push it, so it's like an e bike. You push

645
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: this stroller. The harder you push it, the more it

646
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: helps you. So if you're trying to go up a hill,

647
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: you're trying to go on a long stroller walk with

648
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: your kid, this is basically an e bike of strollers.

649
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: That's wild. Number two, it has a built in speaker

650
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: that plays white noise to soothe your baby, so you

651
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: know that's kind of cool. Number Three, it rocks itself

652
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: so it can put your baby to sleep. There's also

653
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: a front camera on this thing, so if someone tries

654
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: to push your baby stroller that is not you, it

655
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: won't move. So strangers can't push this baby stroller, unless,

656
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: of course, you authorize them if you have a babysitter

657
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: or something like that. This is about thirty three hundred dollars.

658
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: It is again it's called the Glux Can. I think

659
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: there's two names. There's the Ella and then there's another one.

660
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: Now this one, this is I guess, a cheaper version

661
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: of the one that we saw last year in the

662
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: viral video that actually will push your baby by itself.

663
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. It does not push the stroller

664
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: when the baby is insides. There must be some sort

665
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: of weight sensor in the stroller, because I did clarify

666
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: with the person who runs the company and he said, no, no, no,

667
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: we are not pushing the baby by itself. And I

668
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: think that's why that video went viral because people just

669
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,959
Speaker 1: assume that this stroller was pushing the baby by itself.

670
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: It was not doing that. So again, Gluxkin smart self

671
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: rocking stroller. I think a lot of people it was

672
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: getting a lot of attention at the show because people

673
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: were just sitting there like, wait, what is happening here

674
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: right now? What is this stroller doing all by itself?

675
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: All right? If you want links to anything I mentioned again,

676
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: the website is rich on Tech dot TV. If you

677
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: want to see the stuff I posted on Instagram from

678
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: CS you can go to my instagram at rich on Tech.

679
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: There I've posted everything. Let me see what's gone the

680
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: most sort of viral here so far?

681
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: It looks like I'll just tell you the stuff that

682
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: I posted.

683
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: So I posted a the LG clear transparent TVs, a

684
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: foldable TV. Oh, the guy kicking the robot. They've got

685
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: this robot that you can kick and it will still

686
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: stay up standing. And that was really scary because we

687
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: know these robots are gonna kick back one day.

688
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: Let's see, we've got an ice cream robot machine.

689
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: Some fun little plugs that look like an old school

690
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: Apple computer that have a screen on them. Oh.

691
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 2: The one that did really well too is this lock.

692
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: It's a lock that has a fingerprint on it, so

693
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: it's like a TSA lock for your luggage, but you

694
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: can just use your fingerprint to unlock. Its company called

695
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: Benji Lock. All right, Triple eight rich one on one

705
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: We are broadcasting live from Las Vegas. Recovering from CS

706
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: got an email from Michelle Listener Michelle, and Michelle says

707
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: about CES, please talk about the expense of even going

708
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: to CS and who can go? It is a major

709
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: production and expensive hotel room, resort fees, shoes. Who can attend? Yes,

710
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: it is very very expensive and in fact, I used

711
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: to roll with a crew of about five people at CS.

712
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: I think we're now down to two. Well, I know

713
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: we're now down to two, and we do a lot.

714
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: We do a lot. We are working very long days.

715
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: It is very expensive, it really really is. And you know,

716
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: I try to keep things under control cost wise. I

717
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: try to take you know, public transit, the monorail, all

718
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: that good stuff, but it can add up quick. And

719
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: who can go? So it is open to industry professionals,

720
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: so people in the tech world, people that are journalists

721
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: and also exhibitors, so you do have to be one

722
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: of those. Is not open to the public, although every

723
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: year I tell CS, I said, hey, open one day

724
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: to the public.

725
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 2: You will make a ton of money.

726
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 5: One of the.

727
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: Gadgets that was unveiled here is clicks. It brings a

728
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: real keyboard to the iPhone and this connects to your iPhone.

729
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a case, although they don't call

730
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: it that, and it's one hundred and thirty nine dollars

731
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: and it brings a physical keyboard to the iPhone. This

732
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: was invented by Mobile Tech reviewers including Mister Mobile, Michael Fisher,

733
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: and Crackberry. Kevin and I got to talk to Michael

734
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: Fisher mister Mobile about this new Clicks keyboard. Let's hear

735
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: why he came up with this.

736
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 9: Clicks is a creator keyboard made for the iPhone to

737
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 9: give you a physical, quirity keyboard that gives you shortcuts

738
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 9: and more sensation when typing and gives you your screen

739
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 9: space back. Every phone today kind of looks the same,

740
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 9: and every phone today is quite capable. We had to

741
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 9: throw buttons away about seventeen years to do that as

742
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 9: a society, but in doing so, we sacrificed a lot

743
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 9: of the utility and frankly a lot of the fun

744
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 9: that buttons still provide. So we thought why not bring

745
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 9: them back. The deal with adding a keyboard to a

746
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 9: phone is that you have to attach it somehow, right,

747
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 9: so you can make a standalone keyboard that just plugs in,

748
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 9: but that introduces some challenges, there's durability issues, and most

749
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 9: people do use a case on their phone, So we

750
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 9: don't call this a case because that has different criteria.

751
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 10: There's different things you have to you know, guarantee, but.

752
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 9: It is it will protect it scratches, certainly, it'll do

753
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 9: most things that people expect a case to do. While

754
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 9: adding the thing we want to do for generation one,

755
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 9: which is a physical keyboard.

756
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: So do you expect people to keep this on their

757
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: phone all the time or put it on when they

758
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: need it.

759
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 9: I tend to keep it on all the time. But

760
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 9: what is nice is that you can remove it or

761
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 9: add it with very little hassle. So similar to an iPad.

762
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 9: You know, you see an iPad people use a magic keyboard.

763
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 9: Sometimes people pop it off when they don't need it.

764
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 9: It's just as easy to do that with clicks. So

765
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 9: you can kind of have your own experience.

766
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: What's the benefit of a physical keyboard on the iPhone?

767
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 9: What's nice is when you add a physical keyboard to

768
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 9: the iPhone, you get all kinds of surprises, like keyboard

769
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 9: shortcuts that work on your MacBook or on your mac

770
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 9: or on your iPad also work here. Command space lets

771
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 9: you search for something if you're in Safari and you

772
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 9: want to open up a new tab command and does that.

773
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 9: So these kind of muscle memory things that have been

774
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 9: built in over twenty years of using computers and iPads

775
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 9: also work here. And when you're doing that, say you're

776
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 9: in a long message thread, you start typing, and you

777
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 9: still have your entire screen. If you don't have clicks

778
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 9: attached to your virtual keyboard, pops up and it uses

779
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 9: up half of your available screen real estate. So having

780
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 9: the physical keyboard allows you to keep all of that.

781
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 9: And also, look, I'm kind of an old timer. I

782
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 9: came up on quarity keyboards that were physical in nature.

783
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 9: It's more fun to type on, it's a more tactle,

784
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 9: it's a more personal it's more human experience for me

785
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 9: than typing on glass.

786
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 10: And if you need to type on glass, you can

787
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 10: still do that.

788
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: Now you've done a long time without a physical keyboard

789
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: on a phone. Yeah, So do you think people are

790
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: ready to bring this back into their lives?

791
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 5: Is everyone ready to do it?

792
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: No?

793
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 10: And it's you know, it's not a product for everybody

794
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 10: for sure, But.

795
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 9: I think people who have missed a physical keyboard will

796
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 9: find this not only nostalgic but also useful in a

797
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 9: way that you know the old physical keyboards used to be,

798
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 9: and people who have never used them before will, I think,

799
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 9: also find a great deal of pleasure, not just in

800
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 9: the utility, in the screen space, the things that are pragmatic,

801
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 9: but also the fun. Fun should be a consideration when

802
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 9: you're buying a phone, shouldn't that.

803
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, you review products for a living. Yeah,

804
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: you sort of reviewed your own product for your launch

805
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: sort of, Yes, what is it like to be on

806
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: the other side of putting out a product versus reviewing

807
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: someone else's product?

808
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 10: It was astute segue because it is fun.

809
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 9: It is I've been doing reviews for twelve years and

810
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 9: I've been sitting there saying like, okay, well thank you,

811
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 9: oh impress me, what did you make?

812
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 11: Oh?

813
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 10: Okay, well this is kind of okay, but all right.

814
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 9: Being on the other side gives you a real clear

815
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 9: window into how difficult it is to build something, how

816
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 9: much compromise might be required, but also how fun it

817
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 9: is to collaborate with people who are better at different

818
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 9: things than you. And it's very satisfying to ship something

819
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 9: you can actually touch instead of a creative product which

820
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 9: is you know more ethereal. This is our first product.

821
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 9: We built a company, we didn't just build a product.

822
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 9: So this is the beginning of something that I'm very

823
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 9: satisfied with. But there's a lot more to come that

824
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 9: we're not talking about YETNA, I'm even more excited for that.

825
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks mister Mobile. That is mister Mobile. Michael Fisher,

826
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: creator of the Clicks keyboard accessory for iPhone. One hundred

827
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: and thirty nine dollars ships on February first. I did

828
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: have a chance to try typing on it, and yeah,

829
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: it feels like the old school BlackBerry. It's tactile, you

830
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: feel it. It does free up the screen real estate.

831
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: I never really thought about that on the iPhone, how

832
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: much the keyboard takes up on the screen. But the

833
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: question is are you ready to go back to that.

834
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: I feel like so many people have gotten used to

835
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: not having a keyboard for the iPhone, But at the

836
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: same time, a lot of people are going mobile first,

837
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: and so if you can just throw this in your bag,

838
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: go on a trip, and it helps you type faster

839
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: when you're back in your hotel room or whatever. I

840
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: can see the allure one hundred and thirty nine dollars.

841
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: Ships start February first. The website is clicks dot tech.

842
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: Clicks dot tech if you want to check out the

843
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,479
Speaker 1: new creator keyboard for the iPhone. All right, a couple

844
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: other things I saw at CES I thought were quite interesting.

845
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: Brunswick this is a boat company. They let me dock

846
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: a boat. Well it actually a computer did it, because

847
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: now they have self docking boat technology. And when I

848
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: heard this, I said, no way. I was literally just

849
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: talking about this. I did a story with that electric

850
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: boat company ARC a couple of weeks ago, and I said,

851
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: now I want a boat because this thing looks so cool,

852
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: this electric boat. But if you can figure out how

853
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: to dock it automatically, then I'm in. Because I don't

854
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: know how to dock a boat. And yeah, I could

855
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: probably learn, but I feel like that is a sense

856
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: a source of apprehension for many people that want to

857
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: get a boat. They're just worried about docking it. It's

858
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: not like parking a car, where it's pretty straightforward. You know,

859
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: the boat is floating, it's moving, it can hit into

860
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: the dock. And so this technology is AI and sensors

861
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: and so the way I tried it out was with

862
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: a interactive simulator which was very very real by the way,

863
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: got in this boat and you basically get to a dock.

864
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: The system scans the dock and you choose a slip

865
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: that you want to go into and says, hey, do you.

866
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: Want to back in or do you want to go

867
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 2: in forward?

868
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: You choose that, and then the boat takes over and

869
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: it literally controls the boat and docks it for you

870
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: with very very precision steering. And it worked. Now, of

871
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: course this was a simulator. I'm not out actually on

872
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: the water trying this out. But you know, this is

873
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with boats. They are going to

874
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: soon dock themselves in a very smart way. Again, this

875
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: is from a company called Brunswick, and autonomous boat technology

876
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: is coming soon to a boat near you. And I

877
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: got to say I was very impressed with their simulation

878
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: because I thought it was going to be kind of hokey,

879
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: and the whole room kind of lit up and it

880
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: felt like I was on a boat, and actually the

881
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: entire thing moved so like the whole like boat that

882
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: I was standing in. I didn't realize that it was

883
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: like moving, so it really did move. It was it

884
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: was pretty wild. This was also interesting, but this was

885
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: more just eye candy. At ces A folding TV c

886
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: Seed this is an Austrian company showed off a one

887
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven inch folding TV. So they say

888
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: it's the world's first unfolding one hundred and thirty seven

889
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: inch four K TV. It folds and unfolds in about

890
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: ninety seconds, and it looked like it was like four

891
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: TV screens, so it sort of folds up accordion style. Now,

892
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: when I went to the booth, I said, hey, can

893
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: you fold and unfold this thing for me?

894
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 2: And the guy gave me a hard time.

895
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: I said, dude, if you are showing off a foldable

896
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: TV and you know someone comes up to you that

897
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: wants to get video of this for TV and you

898
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 1: know social media, you got to show the TV folding.

899
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: They said, oh, we're only doing it once an hour.

900
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: I said no, no, no, you gotta do this. Come on,

901
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: and so he said, all right, fine, we'll do it.

902
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: And so he folded it up and it's it's really cool.

903
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: And I said, well, why does anyone need this? And

904
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: he said, well, you know number one, if you have

905
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,959
Speaker 1: like a penthouse. Yeah, we're talking very very rich situation here.

906
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: If you have a penthouse and you have a view

907
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: that you don't want interrupted by a TV, you put

908
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: this TV in front of it. It folds up and

909
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: the TV's gone. I said, all right, that's fine. He goes,

910
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: And honestly, it's the spectacle of the thing. So I

911
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 1: guess if you have a penthouse and a foldable TV,

912
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: you know you're living life in a large way and

913
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: you're not worried about the Oh about two hundred thousand

914
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: dollars for this thing, So not for me, but I

915
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: thought it was really really cool. And I just love

916
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: that these TV manufacturers just keep pushing the envelope with

917
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: the form factor of the TV. So again, this company

918
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: is C Seed, the letter C and the name Seed.

919
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: It is a company out of Austria. And they told me,

920
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: they said, they're actually going to have a showroom in

921
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. You'll be able to actually see this thing.

922
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: And why not, right, why not have a foldable TV

923
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: for a couple hundred thousand dollars?

924
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 5: All right?

925
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, we still got many more guests.

926
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: We got Samir Samant of Google. He's gonna talk about

927
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: what's new when it comes to Android. We've got the

928
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: creator and co founder of Telly. He's gonna talk about

929
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: as free TV that you can get. And we're gonna

930
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: talk bitcoin. What is going on with bitcoin? Big big

Speaker 1: you are on with Rich Welcome to the show.

948
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 5: Hello, Rich, Hello Steve.

949
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: What's up?

950
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 12: So I got a Facebook business page. I'm a professional

951
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 12: handy man in Glendale, California, and I made a post

952
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 12: and I've gotten this message before I got a message.

953
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 12: I actually got four separate messages. Your Facebook page is

954
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 12: expect to be permanently removed due to post the post

955
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 12: violating our trademark rice blah blah blah. You know it's

956
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 12: going to be removed, and and then you know it's

957
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 12: But it's from It's at the top, it's headings from

958
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 12: Katie Estes and it shows this weird logo support and

959
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 12: I think it's probably fishing. It's just trying to scare me,

960
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 12: and I'm not and I'm I've learned not to click

961
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 12: on strange links.

962
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 2: And how can I help?

963
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 12: It's from it's from Facebook dot t r.

964
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: O okay, and it sounds like a website, So how

965
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: can I help? Did you get hacked?

966
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 12: Well, I mean I haven't. I'm just I'm just should

967
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 12: I pay tention to that?

968
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, good question.

969
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 12: Just ignore them as spam yep, yep.

970
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 2: One hundred percent ignores spam.

971
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: These are these are very I'm telling you, Steve, there

972
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: are so many scams happening with social media. It is

973
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: it's almost become untenable to deal with all this stuff,

974
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: and especially if you have a business account, any sort

975
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: of Facebook page. So a couple of things. Number one,

976
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: these are notifications that they're sending you. This says, hey,

977
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: you're you're violating our terms and conditions, and they seem

978
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: scary because you're running a business. You might be getting

979
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: some clients from this Facebook page, right, and so you

980
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: you don't want your page to go away. And so

981
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: what they want you to do is see this notification,

982
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,439
Speaker 1: click that notification without thinking, and then either log in

983
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: or somehow do something that will either take over your account,

984
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: hijack your account, or you know, otherwise steal your personal information.

985
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: So you can safely ignore these. I can guarantee you

986
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the time ninety nine point nine

987
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: if there's something truly amiss with your Facebook account, Facebook

988
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: will get in touch with you through a legitimate means,

989
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: which is probably through some sort of pop up notification

990
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: in the app or an email. So believe me, I

991
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: do a lot of things on my Facebook page, Facebook

992
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: dot com, slash rich on tech. I see these things

993
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: all the time. There's a lot of scam artists also

994
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: that post on your page. So when you comment something,

995
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: they may comment and say, hey, we can help with that,

996
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: And those are scam artists as well, those I would block,

997
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: but really these are mostly bots.

998
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 2: But it's a good lesson to learn.

999
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: And the thing that I would do is make sure

1000
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: if you have a Facebook account, two things I would do.

1001
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: Number one, set up two factor authentication. This means that

1002
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: you need a separate code to log in once you

1003
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: log in with your password. So let's say you fell

1004
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: for one of those notifications, you logged in with your password,

1005
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: they got it, they immediately try to hijack your account.

1006
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: They wouldn't be able to because there would be a

1007
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: secondary code that is texted to your phone and that

1008
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: would make it so that they wouldn't be able to

1009
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: get in.

1010
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 2: The other thing to.

1011
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: Do if you have a Facebook business account is to

1012
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: get an admin on that account, someone you trust that

1013
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: is not you, And that way, if there's ever a

1014
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: problem with your Facebook account, because these are usually linked

1015
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: to a personal Facebook account, that way that other person

1016
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: will be able to help you get back in. And

1017
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: if you have a personal Facebook account, there's other others

1018
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: some excuse me, there's some other things you can do,

1019
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: which is called trusted contacts. You can set those up

1020
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: to help you regain access to your Facebook account.

1021
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 2: And if you have a problem with.

1022
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: Your Facebook and it is hacked. The best place to

1023
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: go is Facebook dot com slash hacked. Facebook dot com

1024
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,440

Speaker 12: Yeah, thank you.

1036
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 13: So we have cable, but I'm we're considering ditching it

1037
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 13: because you not expect your conspectum is getting more and

1038
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 13: more costas used by the minute. And so I'm looking

1039
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 13: to get a TV in tennant. I live in Tampa, Florida.

1040
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 13: But I don't exactly know what TV intendant could get

1041
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 13: or even why I should get one, because anyone's all

1042
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 13: well to go on Netflix or who we were this

1043
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 13: or that, but even that's getting expensive. Now, Oh, why

1044
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,240
Speaker 13: should I get an antenna? And what kind of antenna

1045
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 13: do I need?

1046
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: Doing it outdoor or great question? Well, it largely depends

1047
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: on where you live. Yeah, it largely depends on where

1048
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: you live and what kind of signal you can get.

1049
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you the website that I like for

1050
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: antenna's Antennasdirect dot Com. I just tested their new Mohu Versa,

1051
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: Moho Versa. I used to love their Mohu Leaf. The

1052
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: Versa is a bit more versatile, and they have a

1053
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: model for thirty mile range fifty mile range. They're very

1054
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,720
Speaker 1: inexpensive anywhere from like you know, forty to sixty dollars

1055
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: depending on you know the model, and you'd be surprised

1056
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: how many and channels you can pick up in your

1057
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: home just putting this thing like near your TV. And

1058
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: so I would be that would be my first stop

1059
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: Antennasdirect dot Com. The other thing I really like is

1060
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: called the Tableau TA b l O. This is a

1061
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: device that lets you record over the air signals and

1062
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: I just got a demo of a Curate ces t

1063
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: A b l O.

1064
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 2: You get the antenna, you get the tableau.

1065
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,279

1076
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: answer all the tech questions. It's really consumer focused. It's

1077

Speaker 1: the everyday user. If you're not a tech person, this

00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: president of Android Ecosystem. He told me all about the

1083
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: new things that Google unveiled here at CES. First off,

1084

Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, first of all, it's really good to see you,

1087
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 14: and we have a lot going on at CS or

1088
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 14: Android this year. We're here in the Android Experience Center.

1089
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 14: We made a bunch of announcements this morning. Android is

1090
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 14: all about an open ecosystem where you can buy the

1091
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 14: devices and products that work best for you and have

1092
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 14: them all work better together. So, for example, many of

1093
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 14: your viewers may be familiar with Cast, which allows you

1094
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 14: to take the song you're listening to you or the

1095
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,280
Speaker 14: video you're watching and put it on a big screen

1096
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 14: or a smart speaker that's in your house.

1097
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 5: We made some improvements to CAST during this CES.

1098
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 14: For example, the cast is now coming to more screens

1099
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 14: like lgtvs in twenty twenty four will support CAST, including

1100
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 14: those that you see in hotel rooms, so you can

1101
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 14: cast right to the TV in your hotel room. No

1102
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 14: logging in, no forgetting to log out when you leave

1103
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 14: the hotel.

1104
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 5: Makes it super simple.

1105
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 14: And the other thing that my kids are really excited

1106
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 14: about is TikTok is coming to Cast as well, so

1107
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 14: putting those latest dance moves on your big screen TV

1108
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 14: and learning together.

1109
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 5: You can see that in your future too.

1110
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 8: I heard there's some changes about quick share.

1111
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: And the nearby share on Android, So tell me how those.

1112
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 8: Two are sort of emerging.

1113
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, quick Share and nearby Share both try to solve

1114
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 14: the same problem, which is we have files and photos

1115
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 14: and you and I want to share them with each other,

1116
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 14: and we want to do that really simply. Samsung has

1117
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 14: had their own solution. Android has had its own solution

1118
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 14: as well. What's really cool that we just announced is

1119
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 14: that Samsung and Google are getting together. We're integrating both

1120
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 14: of those two solutions, quick Share and Nearby Share into

1121
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 14: a single solution that will work across.

1122
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 5: All Androids devices.

1123
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 14: We're keeping the name quick Share since it was really

1124
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 14: popular with consumers. Later this year, people their Android phones

1125
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 14: will get an update and you'll have that quick Share

1126
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 14: button and it'll work no matter what phone. Remember what

1127
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 14: Android phone the other user has. What is the purpose

1128
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 14: of quick Share? Quick Share makes it really simple to

1129
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 14: share photos and videos between you and your friends that

1130
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 14: are standing near body.

1131
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 8: Does it work with other devices?

1132
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm always like, can I get this from my Mac?

1133
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: Is that in the future or is that impossible to architects,

1134
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: it's a really good question.

1135
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 5: One of the things we've heard from consumers.

1136
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 14: A lot is they want to be able to share

1137
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 14: easily from their phone.

1138
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 5: To their laptops and their desktops.

1139
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 14: So one thing we're adding with quick Shares. We're starting

1140
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 14: out with Windows PCs and chromebooks and so starting for example,

1141
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 14: with any Chromebook that you buy quick Share we'll work with,

1142
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 14: as well as a number of different Windows PCs, starting

1143
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 14: with PCs made by LG.

1144
00:55:55,520 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: AI has become so big in our lives. What is

1145
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: Android doing when it comes to AI.

1146
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, there's a lot that Google's been doing

1147
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 14: with AI for a number of years, and Android's been

1148
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 14: participating in a lot of that. You know, the things

1149
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 14: that we have on our phone today, a lot of

1150
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 14: them that work really well, like defending you from spam.

1151
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 14: We'll block two billion spam messages every month using AI

1152
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 14: on the phone, as well as smart replies that people

1153
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 14: are really fond of. All that has been AI powered

1154
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 14: for a long time. What's new is all the new

1155
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 14: capabilities with generative AI, and we've really seen this progress

1156
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 14: leaps and bounds in the last year or so. We

1157
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 14: have some super cool stuff and Android that takes advantage

1158
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 14: of that. Android's always been known as a platform that

1159
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 14: helps you customize and express yourself. One thing I'm really

1160
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 14: excited about is our AI generated wallpapers. So you can

1161
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 14: ask Android to generate you a wallpaper that is just

1162
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 14: for you. You can give it a prompt bicycle made of

1163
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 14: flowers in the woods sounds nuts. It can do it

1164
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 14: for you, and that wallpaper is just for you. There's

1165
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 14: none other like it in the whole world. The other

1166
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 14: feature that I really love is where AI really helps

1167
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 14: us get things done that we felt in the past

1168
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 14: was just impossible. You know what's impossible for me and

1169
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 14: my family is I have two young boys thirteen and eight,

1170
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 14: and getting a good family picture is impossible. With AI,

1171
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 14: this has helped tremendously. So there's a feature with Google

1172
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 14: Pixel called best Take, And when you take a photo,

1173
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 14: doesn't just take one photo, takes a lot of photos

1174
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 14: without even you having to worry about it, and then

1175
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 14: helps you combine all those photos together so you get

1176
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 14: the one where everyone's smiling, not the one where you've

1177
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 14: got somebody doing the bunny years and someone else frowning.

1178
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 8: You mentioned open ecosystem.

1179
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: Open system is a big tenet of what Android is

1180
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: all about. In Google, we've had this whole thing about

1181
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: the blue bubble versus the Green bubble. Recently sort of

1182
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: bubbled up to use that. But Apple's also adopting rcs

1183
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: next year or yeah, this year sometime. What do you

1184
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: make of this whole debate and do you think messaging

1185
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: should be simpler?

1186
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 14: Messaging definitely needs to be simpler. It really shouldn't matter

1187
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 14: what phone we're using. It for us to be able

1188
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 14: to communicate with each other, that's what phones are for.

1189
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 5: So I should need to think about does this person

1190
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 5: have an Android phone? Do they have an iPhone?

1191
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 14: When I send them a video or a photo in

1192
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 14: a text message, it should just all work.

1193
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 5: And that's really what we've been advocating for around.

1194
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 14: RCS, which is a new way of sending text messages,

1195
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 14: replaces SMS and mms, which are thirty year old technologies

1196
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 14: which never grew up to support all the things that

1197
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 14: we expect today, like high quality photos and videos and

1198
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 14: to end encryption. So we're really excited to hear that

1199
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 14: Apple will be supporting RCS. We think it'll make all

1200
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 14: of our lives a lot easier and we're excited to

1201
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 14: see them make good on that promise and roll it

1202
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 14: out later this year.

1203
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: What will that mean for consumers? What will the difference

1204
00:58:57,960 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: be Because people like well, I got already text and

1205
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: I yeah, So what will that mean for consumers?

1206
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 14: Well, one of the things today is when iPhones and

1207
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 14: androids text each other, you often get videos that are

1208
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 14: not high quality. You often get images which are degraded,

1209
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 14: and people complain. Ah, you know, the Green Bubble didn't

1210
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 14: do the greatest job at sending me the high quality

1211
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 14: information that I wanted. Well, it turns out that's because

1212
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 14: of SMS and MMS, which are thirty year old technologies.

1213
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 14: When RCS replaces these, what we'll be able to do

1214
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 14: together is get all the features that we expect from

1215
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 14: a text messaging application, and so text messaging will become

1216
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 14: high quality videos, high quality photos, read receipts, typing, notifications,

1217
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 14: end end encryption, and so much more.

1218
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 8: You excited about all this stuff? What keeps you going

1219
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 8: about all this?

1220
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 5: You know?

1221
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 14: I couldn't be more excited. There's over three billion users

1222
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 14: of Android around the world. Androids mission is really about

1223
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 14: helping bring computing to more people, and it's not just

1224
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 14: about phones anymore. What you'll see here today is TV,

1225
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 14: these cars, watches, and a whole lot more that makes

1226
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 14: this ecosystem really shine.

1227
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 2: And how long after?

1228
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Thanks so much?

1229
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 5: Thank you?

1230
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: All right, that's Samir Samat, general manager and Vice president

1231
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: of Android Ecosystem at Google. Lots of cool Google is stuff.

1232
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: They're entire setup at CS look like kind of like

1233
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: a retro car hop. What do you want to call that?

1234
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 4: On?

1235
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: My Google phone is going off? When I say Google,

1236
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: I thought I had to say hey Google.

1237
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 2: Oh now I'm saying hey.

1238
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Google, what's going off to? But it was like kind

1239
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: of a retro diner gas station kind of looking place.

1240
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 1: It was really cool, very open, and again what's great

1241
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: about CS is that you hear about these announcements, but

1242
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: you get to go hands on with this stuff early.

1243
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: So some of the things that they mentioned come out now,

1244
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: some of them come out later. And so the idea

1245
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: is that you know, all these journalists and all these

1246
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: media people and just people attending in general get to

1247
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: go hands on with this stuff before anyone else.

1248
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 2: And that's really fun.

1249
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: One of the other things we saw at CES that

1250
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: is a real crowd attractor.

1251
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 2: Is that a word? Is that a terms?

1252
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Anyone say that crowd attractor? It attracted a lot of crowds.

1253
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: LG world's first wireless transparent OLED TV. If you haven't

1254
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: checked out my instagram at rich On Tech, you gotta

1255
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: see this thing. They had like thirty of them all

1256
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: in this giant display. It is a wireless transparent four

1257
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: K OLED TV seventy seven inch has a transparent OLED

1258
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: screen and wireless audio and video, which means you can

1259
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: place it anywhere, but you still got to plug it in.

1260
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: They're still plug It can go between transparent and opaque

1261
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: so you can display artwork or if you want, like

1262
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: OLED picture quality. So it has this like it looked

1263
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: like almost like a screen that came up from the

1264
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: back to like make it so it's you know, fully

1265
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: black on the back. And it was cool. But here's

1266
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: the thing, we don't know the price on this. Transparent

1267
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: TVs were big at CES this year. I think businesses

1268
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: would probably like these, but I don't know if the

1269
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: average person needs it. Again, it goes back to that

1270
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 1: like Penthouse comparison, Like you know, you have a window

1271
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: that you don't want to mess up with a TV screen,

1272
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: but I don't know.

1273
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 2: Seems like a stretch to me.

1274
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: PJ writes in on the website at Richontech dot TV

1275
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: self docking boats you just talked about. They will be

1276
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: handy for those who already know what and how. In general,

1277
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: people who can't deal with docking have many other issues

1278
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: and do not understand how to safely operate a boat

1279
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 1: with lots of explanation marks have obsessed those have observed

1280
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: those things many times. Many factors come into play during

1281
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: all aspects of boating current, wind speed, wind direction, proximity

1282
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: to other traffic, and other aspects. Many people only use

1283
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: their boats once or twice a year. They are dangerous

1284
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: to be around. I frequently observed these things as I've

1285
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: spent large amounts of time on boats since my twenties

1286
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: and for several years, and have also lived a board PJ. Yeah,

1287
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I guess that's true. I mean, if you're not a

1288
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: boating person, you think that this autonomous docking is gonna

1289
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: help you or save you, or make you able to

1290
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: have a boat. Yeah, you still have to learn the

1291
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: basics one hundred percent. I mean, it's like driving a car.

1292
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: You can't like, Yes, we Actually I don't know if

1293
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: that's totally true, because in the future, when we get

1294
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: to the really high levels of autonomous driving, you are

1295
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: not going to have to know how to operate that

1296
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: car because there's not gonna be controls to operate that car.

1297
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: So I think that this is You're right at this point.

1298
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: For safety reasons, of course, you should know how to

1299
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: operate a boat and how to dock it. But this

1300
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: is a nice add on when you just want that

1301
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: smooth docking experience where you can just kind of sit

1302
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: back and relax and let the boat do the work.

1303
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 2: It is a very handy.

1304
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: Thing and it will it will only add to the

1305
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: amount of people who feel comfortable getting a boat, because

1306
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: now you know you've got the full package.

1307
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 2: There Triple eight.

1340
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 13: All right?

1341
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 6: I have a problem.

1342
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 11: I live in a two story ho and I replaced

1343
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 11: my router that was provided by the cable company Spectrum

1344
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 11: because the signal was just interrupted. I also live next

1345
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 11: to the mountains. I live in the home of President

1346
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 11: Nixon the city.

1347
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: So I'm President Nixon's home, Yes.

1348
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 11: The library, and yes, yes he was born here. Correct.

1349
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, okay, sweet.

1350
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 11: So I had an interruption the signal because I'm really

1351
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 11: close to the mountains and I have a two story property.

1352
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 11: So I replaced the router from the Spectrum company, the

1353
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:40,479
Speaker 11: cable company, and I bought my own, and I got

1354
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 11: this one from this company called the l NK S Y.

1355
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 2: S Link says okay, yes.

1356
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 11: And it gave me two towers to put one in

1357
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 11: the you know, above and one below the levels, and

1358
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 11: I still get interruption, and so I'm wondering what I

1359
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 11: can do to change that, because is when my kids

1360
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 11: come over and they're using their WiFi and stuff like that,

1361
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 11: they don't get the signal. And I don't know what

1362
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 11: I can do to change that.

1363
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Okay, well, what so Number one, the mountains don't have

1364
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: anything to do with your signal, so that is not

1365
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: causing the issue. What's causing the issue is the material

1366
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: of this home. So I'm guessing this is an older

1367
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: home and it has probably thick walls that are really

1368
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: tough to get this signal through. That's what I'm guessing.

1369
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: It also sounds like it's pretty large if it is

1370
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: a former president's home, So that is the problem. You've

1371
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of space and you've got a lot

1372
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: of challenges for a Wi Fi signal.

1373
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 11: That is, it wasn't the president's home. It's said he's

1374
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 11: the city. He was born here, Oh, he was born there. Okay,

1375
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 11: but it is an older home and there is a

1376
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 11: lot of bricks involved.

1377
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. That's the issue. Okay, yes, that

1378
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: is the issue. So you you sort of halfway solve

1379
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: this issue by going with the Lynx's system. It sounds

1380
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: like you have a mesh system, but that is what

1381
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: you need here, and you it sounds like you may

1382
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: need do you know how many square feet this house is?

1383
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 11: Well, the lot is is big, but the house itself

1384
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 11: is thirty two hundred square.

1385
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's pretty large.

1386
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 11: So I would recommend are.

1387
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 2: You trying to get internet on the lot or just

1388
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 2: in the house.

1389
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 11: Well, I already have it in the house, but it's

1390
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 11: still an interruption. Okay, signal.

1391
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: Okay. So here's what I would do. You need a

1392
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,479
Speaker 1: mesh system the system that you have already. I would

1393
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: go online and look up the name of it and

1394
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: see if it is a mesh system that you can

1395
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: expand with more what are called access points.

1396
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 2: Let me explain what a mesh system is.

1397
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: So typical internet you get from Spectrum is just a

1398
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 1: router that sits below your TV and it just stays

1399
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: there and that's basically it.

1400
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 2: It sends out the signal.

1401
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: It does not reach very far because it's just the

1402
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: walls and everything else kind of me with it. So

1403
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: what most people are upgrading now to these days is

1404
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: called a mesh system, and a mesh system is kind

1405
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: of like think about the home base under your TV

1406
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: sends out the signal to all these little access points

1407
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: around your house, and they all talk to each other

1408
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: to kind of make sure that the signal completely blankets

1409
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: every corner of your home.

1410
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 2: And with two of these and I'm not.

1411
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: Sure linksis you know, I think the companies that I

1412
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: typically recommend for this are either orb O R B

1413
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: I or ero E E r O. Those are two

1414
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: of the best, and so I would look into maybe

1415
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: getting one of those systems. And you want probably three

1416
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: access points, so that would that would be three of

1417
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: these little devices that you would put around your house,

1418
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that that's probably going to solve.

1419
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: The other thing you can do if you really want

1420
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: to get this solved, is you know, you can hire

1421
01:08:55,960 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 1: someone to wire an Ethernet cable from the home base system,

1422
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: buy your TV or wherever your internet comes into your house,

1423
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: and then you can wire that to another room that

1424
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: is pretty far away and you can plug one of

1425
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: the access points into that and that way, it's going

1426
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to get a nice strong signal that is actually like

1427
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: a really good signal, and it's gonna put that out

1428
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 1: through your house as well. But that's gonna be a

1429
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 1: lot more expensive because you are getting someone to come

1430
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,679
Speaker 1: to the house and drill and all that good stuff.

1431
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: So I would say you could probably solve this problem

1432
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 1: with a better mesh system that has three points to it.

1433
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: So again, look up and see if the mesh system

1434
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: that you have will allow a third access point. If

1435
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: it does, I would get that third access point, and

1436
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: I would also look at where you're placing these. So

1437
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: with Internet, you really want to place the main signal

1438
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: in kind of the center of the house and also

1439
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: up off the floor and not obstructed by anything. And

1440
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: then the other two you want to put in different

1441
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: areas that are, you know, not too far away, but

1442
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: far enough where it can still get the signal and

1443
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: put it in that area of the house, but also

1444
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: reach the third one and put the signal there as well.

1445
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 1: So if they're unobstructed, that would be ideal. Like if

1446
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: it's up like a staircase that you can see something

1447
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 1: like that, that would be ideal. But yeah, Wi Fi

1448
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: is it's tricky. It's not the signal. We are really

1449
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: stretching this signal to its maximum capacity at this point.

1450
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: It was really not intended to do all the things

1451
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: that we're doing with it. There is a new standard

1452
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: coming up called Wi Fi seven. It is very much emerging.

1453
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you need to upgrade to that

1454
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: just yet because a lot of devices don't take advantage

1455
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: of that just yet. But a lot of these problems

1456
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: hopefully will be solved with Wi Fi seven. That handles

1457
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: this stuff a little bit better.

1458
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks for the question.

1459
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Melody, are Ellie in or bel Inda? I thought it

1460
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: was odd that you lived in the President's house, but

1461
01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: I get it, orba Inda? Okay, president from there? I

1462
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: guess my uh, I guess my California. I guess that's

1463
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: national history. I don't know, it's all. It's all up

1464
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: in the r anyway. Eight and eight Rich one O

1465
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 1: one eight and eight seven four to two four one

1466
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: zero one.

1467
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 2: You are listening to rich on Tech.

1468
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to another hour of rich on Tech. My name

1469
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,839
Speaker 1: is rich Demiro, broadcasting live today from Las Vegas, site

1470
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:23,639
Speaker 1: of CEES.

1471
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four.

1472
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Now the show is closed, the show is everyone's maybe

1473
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: everyone's gone home, but it is still the place where

1474
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 1: cees took place all week long. I've been here for

1475
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: the whole week and uh saw a lot, met a

1476
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: lot of people, saw a lot of new gadgets, and

1477
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: it was a good show. One hundred and thirty five

1478
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: thousand attendees, forty three hundred exhibitors. There was a ton

1479
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 1: to see. And this thing spreads across the entire town.

1480
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:55,520
Speaker 1: It's not just the convention Center. It is the Venetian,

1481
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 1: the Expo Hall, and a whole bunch of hotel rooms

1482
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: because a lot of companies they may not get a

1483
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: booth at the show, but they rent like a hotel room,

1484
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: like a suite, and then they show people like you know,

1485
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: they meet up with people and show them what they've got.

1486
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened with Telly. This is the free

1487
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: ad supported television set they launched earlier in twenty twenty three,

1488
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: and they have thousands of these TVs out in the wild. Yes,

1489
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: you can sign up for a free ad supported TV.

1490
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,759
Speaker 1: Ili Oposen is the creator and co founder of Telly.

1491
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: I caught up with him at CS to get an

1492
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 1: update on the company ili Oposen, creator and co founder

1493
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 1: of Telly on the free ad supported television set. It's

1494
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: a fifty five inch set also has a soundbar in

1495
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: the middle, and the key is the secondary screen that

1496
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: shows ads.

1497
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 2: Let's hear it.

1498
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,439
Speaker 15: So I'm Elio Posen. I'm the co founder and CEO

1499
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 15: of Telly.

1500
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:53,560
Speaker 8: So what made you create Telly?

1501
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 15: So my last company is actually Pluto TV if you're

1502
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 15: familiar with that, where Pluto's ad support is streaming, right,

1503
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 15: and we proved that companies who are double dipping on

1504
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,520
Speaker 15: revenue where they're charging for a subscription service and monetizing

1505
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 15: with advertising, that you could actually run a sustainable business

1506
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 15: on just one of those revenue streams. And for Pluto,

1507
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 15: that was advertising. And when we looked at Telly in

1508
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 15: the TV market, the same thing happens right now when

1509
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 15: you're going to the store, you're buying a TV, right,

1510
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:21,959
Speaker 15: and then your data is being monetized and that TV.

1511
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:22,719
Speaker 4: Is delivering ads.

1512
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 15: And Telly wanted to prove the exact same thing that

1513
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 15: Pluto approved, where you can monetize and build a sustainable

1514
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 15: business model on just one revenue stream alone, in this

1515
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 15: case advertising.

1516
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 8: What do you get with the TV.

1517
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, so Telly comes completely free, right. You get a

1518
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 15: fifty five inch four K HDR TV, you get a

1519
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,400
Speaker 15: premium soundbar included by Harmon Cardon, and it comes with

1520
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 15: a second screen that's never been done before sys a

1521
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,719
Speaker 15: dual screen TV. It also has a lot of extra

1522
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 15: features that you normally wouldn't get out of a TV,

1523
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:51,680
Speaker 15: like a camera where you could do zoom calls and

1524
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 15: fitness and right out of your home, and a voice

1525
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 15: assistant built in. And the cool thing about Telly is

1526
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:00,719
Speaker 15: every single month we release software updates like a Tesla.

1527
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 15: This thing gets better and better and smarter and smarter

1528
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 15: every single month as time goes by. That's never really

1529
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 15: been done on a TV before.

1530
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 10: Right.

1531
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 4: Normally your TV.

1532
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 15: Just kind of fixes bugs and things like that, and

1533
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 15: it ages and ages over time.

1534
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 4: Telly actually gets better over time.

1535
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 8: Is there any catch?

1536
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 4: There's no catch.

1537
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,600
Speaker 15: Just so any other TV company, whether you're buying a

1538
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 15: Samsung or a Visio Roku, they monetize your data and

1539
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 15: they give you advertising. We do the exact same thing,

1540
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 15: except we're completely upfront with consumers. Right, So we deliver advertising,

1541
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 15: we monetize data, but we're very transparent. Everything is fully

1542
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 15: opt in. We don't do anything else than noyone else

1543
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 15: does except the one thing we do is we give

1544
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 15: you a completely free TV.

1545
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,600
Speaker 8: There's a camera on the front. Is there a microphone?

1546
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 15: So there's a camera that's shut by default. If you

1547
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 15: want to use an app like Zoom or something, then

1548
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 15: it asks you if you.

1549
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:50,719
Speaker 4: Want to open it. We're very privacy first.

1550
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 15: There's a microphone that if you want to use a

1551
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 15: voice assistant, recognizes a wake word like hey Telly, and

1552
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 15: then responds to your commands. But that's it. We don't

1553
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 15: actually cord listen. Nothing happens in the background. We're a

1554
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 15: privacy first company. And that's that's how we're operating.

1555
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: What about the ad in the corner of the screen.

1556
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 1: Tell me how the add part of this works.

1557
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, so that's that's, you know, the secret sauce of

1558
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 15: our business model.

1559
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 4: Right.

1560
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,600
Speaker 15: So we have two screens. The main screen, which is

1561
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 15: a fifty five inch TV. The best analogy and give

1562
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 15: is kind of like a car. That's your windshield right.

1563
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 15: The bottom screen that's your dash. It's where your spinnometer is,

1564
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 15: your radio or your nav. In this case, we show

1565
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 15: you sports scores, news weather, and yes, we have a

1566
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 15: portion of it for advertising. So we have advertising that

1567
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 15: shows you relevant ads based on who you are. So

1568
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 15: you and I would both get different ads depending on

1569
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,200
Speaker 15: who we are as people and where we live and

1570
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 15: all the different attributes of our profiles. And that's how

1571
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,520
Speaker 15: we operate and monetize our business.

1572
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 1: How many of these do you have out in the

1573
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:47,600
Speaker 1: wild and how many do you expect.

1574
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 8: To put out there?

1575
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1576
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,680
Speaker 15: So we just announced our company public in twenty twenty.

1577
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 4: Three in May.

1578
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 15: We're already in thousands and thousands of homes. Our TVs

1579
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 15: are used every single day for many many hours.

1580
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 4: It's working. The business model works.

1581
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 15: Twenty twenty three read was our year of validation and

1582
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 15: twenty twenty four is going to be the year we scale.

1583
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 15: So we're planning on going into millions of homes this year.

1584
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 8: Can people still get one of these? How do they

1585
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 8: do that?

1586
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1587
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 15: Absolutely, we have a big weightlist right now. But I

1588
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,679
Speaker 15: would sign up and go to free Telly dot com

1589
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,719
Speaker 15: to get on the waitlist because we're about to start

1590
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 15: shipping a lot of TVs.

1591
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 5: All right.

1592
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: Once again the website freetelly dot com, And I will say,

1593
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 1: going hands on with that TV, it is a nice TV.

1594
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: It's got a great picture. It has all the stuff

1595
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:31,640
Speaker 1: you want on it. You can add your own streaming

1596
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,599
Speaker 1: dongle if you want, like a fire TV or anything

1597
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: like that, or you can just use the one that

1598
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 1: they give you. But it seems very high quality and

1599
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 1: the sound was great, and I think what they're doing

1600
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: is quite interesting because it's something that everyone wants for free.

1601
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 1: Why not have a free TV? Yeah, there are ads.

1602
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 2: On the bottom.

1603
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: The ads. You know, they're there all the time. So

1604
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: are they distracting? I don't think so. We're kind of

1605
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: used to ads at this point, so kind of a

1606
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,679
Speaker 1: neat thing. Again. That was a creator and co founder

1607
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: of Telly. The website is freetelly dot com.

1608
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 5: All right.

1609
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: So one of the devices I saw at CS that

1610
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 1: is quite interesting reminds me of the future is a

1611
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 1: device from Wings called Bemo b E a m O BMO.

1612
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: This is a four and one health checkup device. It

1613
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: combines an ECG, blood oxygen level, stethoscope, and a thermometer.

1614
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: It allows you to measure your core vitals like temperature,

1615
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: heart rate, blood oxygen, and your lung and heart sounds,

1616
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: all at home medical grade health scants. It can detect

1617
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 1: things like fever, arrhythmia, and abnormal heart rate. And it

1618
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: also keeps records so that you can share this with

1619
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 1: your doctor. So this is two hundred and fifty dollars.

1620
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 1: It's pending FDA clearance, which is expected middle of this

1621
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 1: year June twenty twenty four. But I got to go

1622
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: hands on with this and try it out, and it

1623
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: literally felt like I was touching something and using something

1624
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: from the future, something you'd see like on a sci

1625
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: fi movie. Because you put this thing up to your

1626
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: heart or your lungs and it listens and it gives

1627
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: you a display and you do the ECG and I

1628
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: mean everything. Everything When you go to the doctor and

1629
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 1: they take your vitals, this thing will do. And so

1630
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 1: what is the whole point of this, Well, it is

1631
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 1: for telehealth. Imagine you want to get a quick appointment

1632
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: with your doctor and you know, you got a stuff

1633
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: he knows or whatever you got, you know, and they

1634
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 1: usually want you to come in to do all these

1635
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: little vitals. Now you can take all these vitals right

1636
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,799
Speaker 1: from this device. It sends it to the doctor's screen

1637
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: and you can get all this stuff that you weren't

1638
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 1: able to get before. I mean, I think, especially when

1639
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: it comes to the stuff like this. The I can't

1640
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: even say the word the heart and lung sounds the

1641
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: sethoscope part. Why is that so tough for me to pronounce?

1642
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: But like that part is really tricky to get it home.

1643
01:18:58,479 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not gonna listen to your own heart

1644
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: lungs right, So the fact that you can do this

1645
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,679
Speaker 1: is quite incredible. Withings is a company that does all

1646
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: kinds of health stuff and they just continue to push

1647
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: the envelope when it comes to that. So I think

1648
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna steal a big push in telehealth because there's

1649
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 1: so many things. Especially during the pandemic, we saw that

1650
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: there's just so many things that we can do at home,

1651
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: and that is one way we can advance that. Samsung

1652
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: unveiled a new AI companion robot for your house called Bali.

1653
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:33,440
Speaker 1: This is a AI robot assistant. It was first introduced

1654
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. They updated it. It's kind of weird looking.

1655
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: It looks like a little soccer ball that rolls around

1656
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: your house, follows you around, greets you at the door

1657
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,720
Speaker 1: when you come home, like a dog, and it's your

1658
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,599
Speaker 1: personal home assistance. You can ask it questions you can

1659
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: say something like, hey, show me a recipe for pizza,

1660
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: and it will project the recipe on the wall. If

1661
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: someone comes to your door, it will project the video

1662
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,600
Speaker 1: of the video doorbell, like a live stream of that.

1663
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 1: So it has strong R two D two vibes. You know,

1664
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: it's like one of these things that's just like always around.

1665
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: It's spinning around, it's following you. And the big new

1666
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 1: feature is the projection. So it's got that projector on it,

1667
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: so it can play videos on your walls and your floors.

1668
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: It can play music, can help you answer phone calls,

1669
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 1: and of course this is one of those things that

1670
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 1: will it ever see the light of the day. I

1671
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: don't know, because typically if a tech company is going

1672
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: to introduce something that we are going to see, they're

1673
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 1: going to give us a price and an expected date.

1674
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 2: We have none of that with Bali, but it's still

1675
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 2: pretty cool.

1676
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 1: So Samsung Bali ai companion robot for the home, saw

1677
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 1: a short demo of it, and you know, I don't know,

1678
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm i'm I feel like these home robot things really

1679
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: have to be useful for us to spend money on them,

1680
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: and they really have to be good. And I do

1681
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: think that will happen because of artificial intelligence like chat,

1682
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: GBT and all that stuff. But right now it is

1683
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of ideas, but realistically, what is

1684
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: the use? What is the value of having something like

1685
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: that at your house?

1686
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 2: All right?

1687
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: Website is rich on Tech dot TV. This is rich

1698
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: I've convinced my special guest to come on the show.

1699
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna have a special guest coming up next.

1700
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna do your questions in a rapid fire segment

1701
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 1: with a very special guest coming up right here on

1702
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

1703
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:56,719
Speaker 1: Demiro here hanging out with you talking technology. The website

1704
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 1: rich on Tech dot TV Broadcasting live from Las Vegas

1705
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 1: and for the very first time on this show in

1706
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. It is a very special guest. It

1707
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: took a lot of convincing to get them on the show.

1708
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:12,799
Speaker 1: Welcome my wife, Lindsey.

1709
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 16: Thank you for having me.

1710
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: Were you a.

1711
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 2: Little apprehensive for coming on the show today?

1712
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 16: Yes, I wonder how you do this on a regular basis.

1713
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 16: I've got to be honest.

1714
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 1: Lindsay's been listening to the show, and you know she's

1715
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 1: here in Vegas with me. She usually meets me after SAT. Yes,

1716
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 1: we go out for a nice dinner to celebrate the

1717
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 1: week being over. And so I said, you know what,

1718
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: let's do a rapid fire question segment. So, without further ado,

1719
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: these are some of the emails I've gotten in the

1720
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks from you. So let's get the

1721
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 1: first one.

1722
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 16: Okay, Mollie Rights looking for an app keyboard for my

1723
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 16: iPhone which has the letters and numbers on one screen

1724
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 16: like a typewriter.

1725
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 1: Great question, Mollie. We've actually had this before on the show.

1726
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: And the answer to this question is an app called

1727
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: swift Key. So swift key was originally an app that

1728
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,600
Speaker 1: was independent and now it is owned by Taylor.

1729
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 2: Swift just kidding.

1730
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 1: It's owned by Microsoft, so Microsoft swift Key does have

1731
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: an option to put the number row on top of

1732
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 1: the letter row. So there you go. Swift Key, look

1733
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: it up. It's available for iPhone and Android.

1734
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 16: Next question, Okay, this one's from Howard. Happy New Year, Rich.

1735
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 16: I'm cleansing my emails. I've become cautious and suspicious with

1736
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 16: unsubscribed options versus blocking email. Is it safe to click

1737
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 16: unsubscribe some required under email? I don't want to provide

1738
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 16: my email because I have a few emails. Thanks again

1739
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 16: for your tech insights, Howard.

1740
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 2: Good question.

1741
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 1: Here's my rule of thumb when it comes to unsubscribing

1742
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: from emails. You can safely unsubscribe to any email from

1743
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 1: a legitimate sender. That's a Macy's, that's a home depot,

1744
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: bed bath, and beyond those kind of emails that come

1745
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:56,759
Speaker 1: from a large company or any company that is using

1746
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,640
Speaker 1: an email service that is legitimate, like a mail or

1747
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: anything like that constant contact. Those are very safe to

1748
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: unsubscribe to. It is the emails that are unsolicited or

1749
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: spam that sometimes have unsubscribe in the footer. What they're

1750
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: trying to do is trick you. They're trying to confirm

1751
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: that you open that email and you have a good

1752
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 1: email address, and then once you click on subscribe, they'll

1753
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: actually send you more emails. So for those emails, you

1754
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: can just throw them out, trash them, don't even open them.

1755
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 1: For the legitimate emails, you can safely unsubscribe. When it

1756
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 1: comes to entering your email address. That's a pet peeve

1757
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 1: of mine. I don't think that should be the case.

1758
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 1: A lot of these email providers have switched to one

1759
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: click unsubscribe. Sometimes, if I can tell it's legitimate, I

1760
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,520
Speaker 1: will put my email address in there to confirm. Otherwise

1761
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: I would just delete that email and hopefully it doesn't

1762
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: come back.

1763
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 16: Next question, Okay, this one's from Nilda hi Rich Demiro.

1764
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 16: I daily watch Ketla five news and I enjoy your

1765
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 16: segments there. I was wondering if my books and my

1766
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 16: kindle fire are sinkable. Is that even a word to

1767
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 16: my iPad? Or are they transferable? Thanks again, thanks ahead

1768
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 16: if you can help.

1769
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:07,799
Speaker 2: This is from Nilda. Nilda, good question.

1770
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: This is this is pretty wild because when I wrote

1771
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: my book for the iPhone, it was so complicated because

1772
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 1: people didn't realize how they could read a Kindle book

1773
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: if they didn't own a Kindle And so this is

1774
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 1: what's happening here. You've got a kind Kindle Fire, and

1775
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,720
Speaker 1: you've got books that you purchased on those Yes, you

1776
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: can easily get those on your iPad. All you have

1777
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: to do is download the Kindle app for iPad. Kindle

1778
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: has an app for pretty much every operating system out there,

1779
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,600
Speaker 1: So if you're purchasing Kindle books from Amazon, yes, you

1780
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: can read them on almost any device out there. So

1781
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,839
Speaker 1: just go ahead, download the Kindle app on your iPad.

1782
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: All of your books in your library will show up there,

1783
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: and it is sinkable. So if you get to page

1784
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: five hundred on your iPad, you open up your Kindle Fire.

1785
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: As long as they're both connected to Wi Fi or

1786
01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:57,719
Speaker 1: the Internet, they will sync and you'll be exactly where

1787
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 1: you left off. Good question, Nilda. Let's to get another one, lindsay.

1788
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 16: Eric, right, is there any way to add a flip

1789
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 16: phone to my iPhone account and have calls and texts

1790
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 16: forward to it? I don't want to add a line

1791
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 16: or a number, just roll calls and text. I have Verizon.

1792
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is this is possible, but it's not

1793
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: necessarily simple. So there are a limited amount of devices

1794
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: that you can share your mobile number with, and Verizon

1795
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: calls this number share. All of these cellular carriers have

1796
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,799
Speaker 1: a slightly different way of treating this. But for Verizon

1797
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned is it's called number share, and so they

1798
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:37,600
Speaker 1: have a couple of devices and if you go to

1799
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: their website Verizon dot com and look up number share,

1800
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,640
Speaker 1: it will tell you which devices you can share your

1801
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: phone number with. Most of the devices and this feature

1802
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 1: pretty much launched with the Apple Watch. Most of them

1803
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,640
Speaker 1: are watches, whether it's the Apple Watch, whether it's a

1804
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: pixel Watch, whether it's a Fossil Watch, but they are

1805
01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy watches. They do have a few that you

1806
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: can get and oh gosh, they get rid of the

1807
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:05,719
Speaker 1: one that I was testing. Hold on, let me see,

1808
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: I think they got rid of it. Oh, I don't

1809
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: see it there anymore. There used to be a phone

1810
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: called the light Phone, and I don't know if that's

1811
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 1: on the list anymore. But anyway, there are a couple

1812
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 1: of devices on the list. You can't typically just use

1813
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: any old flip phone to connect to this. You do

1814
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: have to find a device that is on this list,

1815
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: and it is limited. So if you find a device

1816
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: on there, I'm looking to see if they have a

1817
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 1: flip phone on here. I don't know if they have

1818
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:32,600
Speaker 1: one that you can get. Let me see what this

1819
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:36,599
Speaker 1: one is. I'm not really seeing a flip phone on here,

1820
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure this is completely possible. It says

1821
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: Palm Companion phone. What's that. I don't even know what

1822
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: that is. Oh wow, I don't even think they have

1823
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: that anymore. But you can go to the Verizon website.

1824
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 1: It is possible, but it is very, very limited, and

1825
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 1: it's all about money because they don't want you using

1826
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: a cheap flip phone because they charge you ten bucks

1827
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: a month. They don't want you using that. They want

1828
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: you to get a whole another line.

1829
01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 16: All right, next question, Okay, let's answer Chef Alex's question.

1830
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 16: First of all, let me let you know that you

1831
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 16: are amazing. I love finding out new gadgets, apps and

1832
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 16: new technology. Seriously, I check your page for new and

1833
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 16: fun staff, so thank you. My question is when do

1834
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 16: you recommend booking a fight and do you prefer Airbnb

1835
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:15,679
Speaker 16: or verbo?

1836
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: Thank you?

1837
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 2: Oh, two part question.

1838
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 1: So number one, recommend booking a flight? I recommend booking

1839
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 1: it as soon as you have the money and you

1840
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: are ready to do it, because flights go up and

1841
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 1: down all the time and price, and it's one price

1842
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 1: that's right for me may not be right for you,

1843
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 1: may not be right for someone else. So when you

1844
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 1: feel like it's a fair deal and it's working out

1845
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: for you, go ahead and book it. The place ide

1846
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:41,799
Speaker 1: book flights flights dot Google dot com is the only

1847
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 1: place I use to research my flights Airbnb versus Verbo. Honestly,

1848
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:48,479

Speaker 1: was fun. We saw a lot of great stuff, but

1863
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 1: one of the big news stories of the week while

1864
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 1: we were here involves bitcoin. And yes, we've heard about

1865
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 1: bitcoin on and off for years now, but this is

1866
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: it seems like a very big shift in the entire

1867
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 1: crypto world. Let's bring on Ben Weis's CEO of coin

1868
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,840
Speaker 1: flip to talk about it. Ben wi CEO of coin flip,

1869
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: thanks for joining me today. Hey, Rich, I'm doing great.

1870
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 1: First off, tell me what coin flip does. What do

1871
01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:53,759
Speaker 1: you do at coin flip?

1872
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 17: So, coin flip operates over five thousand big ms where

1873
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 17: people can physically perch bitcoin in other crypto and physical locations.

1874
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 17: We operate in nine countries and we have over five

1875
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 17: one hundred locations in California and about one hundred in Nevada.

1876
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, so you do bitcoin atm so you're

1877
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 1: pretty well versed in this stuff. So let's talk about

1878
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 1: first off, the well, let's explain bitcoin first.

1879
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 17: Yeah, and I've been now in this space for over

1880
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 17: a decade, since I was eighteen.

1881
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:33,640
Speaker 7: But bitcoin is a digital currency.

1882
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 17: It's not owned or operated by a central bank or

1883
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:44,960
Speaker 17: any private company. It's simply a decentralized currency on the blockchain.

1884
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 17: And it was the first crypto ever and it's the

1885
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 17: most popular crypto, and this week the SEC just approved

1886
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 17: eleven ETFs for bitcoin, which will make it more easy

1887
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 17: for people to buy.

1888
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:01,600
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the big news this week, and this was

1889
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 1: rumored for a while and why, you know, why is

1890
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:08,560
Speaker 1: that significant and what does that mean exactly?

1891
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 17: Yeah, So ETFs are exchange traded and for those of

1892
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 17: you who purchase stocks, you probably have bought ETFs with

1893
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:23,600
Speaker 17: your online brokerage account or financial advisor on things like

1894
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 17: Vanguard in Fidelity and tdomrriort Trade, And until last week,

1895
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 17: there was no way to purchase bitcoin.

1896
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:34,440
Speaker 7: On any of those traditional brokerages.

1897
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:36,519
Speaker 17: So you had a lot of people who wanted to

1898
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:40,639
Speaker 17: buy bitcoin, but didn't want to buy it that ples

1899
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 17: didn't want to have to worry about storing bitcoin on

1900
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:44,879
Speaker 17: their own wallets.

1901
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 7: I mean, Rich, I'm sure you've heard about.

1902
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:51,360
Speaker 17: The horror stories of people, especially earlier, earlier in the

1903
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,639
Speaker 17: early days of bitcoin, who lost access to their crypto

1904
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 17: because they lost their hard drives and things like that.

1905
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:57,760
Speaker 7: So this allows.

1906
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 17: People to get exposure to bitcoin and the upside of

1907
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 17: bitcoin without holding the coin themselves, because the coin is

1908
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 17: held by these exchange traded funds, and you're seeing some

1909
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 17: of the smartest companies in the world, like Blackrock, get

1910
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 17: into the space. So it's a huge day for crypto

1911
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:18,400
Speaker 17: and this will make bitcoin and other cryptos more accessible

1912
01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 17: for everyone.

1913
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,519
Speaker 1: Oh, that's an interesting aspect that I had not thought

1914
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 1: of because and by the way, I think you cut

1915
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:28,679
Speaker 1: out when you said ETF that's exchange traded fund. These

1916
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:32,280
Speaker 1: are like the hot product in the investment world. It's

1917
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 1: kind of like a mutual fund, I guess, but like

1918
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 1: with less fees and things like that, and it's kind

1919
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:37,719
Speaker 1: of like automated too, right.

1920
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 17: Yeah, So instead of buying individual stocks and having to

1921
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 17: manage that, the fund manages on those stocks, so you

1922
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:49,759
Speaker 17: could have more diversified exposure to areas of the economy

1923
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 17: without having to buy and manage all the individual stocks yourself.

1924
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 17: So that was a concept that was pioneered in the

1925
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:01,000
Speaker 17: traditional stock investing space. Is many of listeners probably have

1926
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:04,800
Speaker 17: participated in that space, and now that whole concept is

1927
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:05,720
Speaker 17: brought to bitcoin.

1928
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,440
Speaker 7: So instead of people having to buy.

1929
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:12,439
Speaker 17: Individual bitcoins and hold them on hot wallets and cold

1930
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 17: wallets and you know, on their phone and worry about

1931
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:16,679
Speaker 17: losing them, they can.

1932
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:20,760
Speaker 7: Just buy that ETF that tracks the price.

1933
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 17: Of bitcoin, so if bitcoin goes up, they'll get those

1934
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,640
Speaker 17: gains and they won't have to worry about managing or

1935
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 17: holding bitcoin themselves.

1936
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:29,639
Speaker 7: And the industry has been pushing the.

1937
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 17: SEC to approve some of these ETFs for years now,

1938
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 17: and actually about a couple months ago, a federal appeals

1939
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:43,640
Speaker 17: court in DC said that the SEC improperly rejected in

1940
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 17: ETF So the SEC had to reconsider the ETFs and

1941
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 17: the first approvals came down this week.

1942
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 1: Wow. So why do you think the government changed their

1943
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:53,680
Speaker 1: course on this?

1944
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 17: Well, I think at the end of the day, the

1945
01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 17: SEC's all about consumer protection and this is a novel technology, right,

1946
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:07,519
Speaker 17: and with novel technologies there could be increased risk to

1947
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 17: increase risk, so I think the SEC was taking their time.

1948
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:13,719
Speaker 7: And it's not uncommon to when.

1949
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:17,800
Speaker 17: Firms apply for whether it's an ETF, for approvals for

1950
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,640
Speaker 17: other things, that the SEC will have commentary back, or

1951
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 17: we'll ask for a little bit of different change in

1952
01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 17: business model. So there has been some back and forth there,

1953
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 17: and then there was the court decisions which provides more

1954
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,679
Speaker 17: guidance as well. So it looks like with the changes

1955
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 17: to some of the applications and the court decisions, the

1956
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:42,760
Speaker 17: SEC was finally satisfied to approve eleven of these ETFs, and.

1957
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:43,680
Speaker 7: I'm sure they'll be poor.

1958
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 17: That was just for Bitcoin, So there's other cryptocurrencies. There's Etherorum,

1959
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:50,800
Speaker 17: and I'm sure that people will be trying to get

1960
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 17: Ethereum and other crypto ETFs proved next.

1961
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, so look, the bottom line is, if you

1962
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 1: have a retirement account or any sort of investment account,

1963
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 1: you can now easily get into crypto. And it seems

1964
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 1: like it's a very legitimate way to do this because, yes,

1965
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:09,519
Speaker 1: there's been many ways of buying this in the past,

1966
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:11,599
Speaker 1: but you had to sign up for, like you said,

1967
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 1: a secondary you know, any one of these programs or

1968
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: apps that would sell it to you that you may

1969
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: not have done business with before. But if you're buying

1970
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:22,280
Speaker 1: it through your you know, Fidelity or Vanguard or any

1971
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: of these like big brand names that you know, I

1972
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 1: feel like that means a lot of people will feel

1973
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: much more comfortable getting in on this or at least

1974
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,320
Speaker 1: having some, you know, some of this in their portfolio.

1975
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: Is that the idea behind why we've seen the price

1976
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 1: go up with bitcoin.

1977
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 17: I mean, I think you're one hundred percent like the

1978
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 17: early adopters of crypto. Maybe people who are very technically sophisticated,

1979
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:50,120
Speaker 17: you know, they probably bought crypto already. They're comfortable self

1980
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:53,679
Speaker 17: customing their own coins on wallets, on.

1981
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 7: Their phone and things like that.

1982
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 17: But for the average person it can be kind of

1983
01:35:57,080 --> 01:36:01,360
Speaker 17: intimidating and confusing. Like I know, someone like my you know,

1984
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:03,800
Speaker 17: like my mom and dad, they you know, have been

1985
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 17: buying stocks and ETFs for a while, and they can

1986
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:09,240
Speaker 17: just now log into their tdom Merrior Trader, you know,

1987
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 17: Vanguard and have the option to buy crypto.

1988
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:13,720
Speaker 7: It just makes it so much easier, and.

1989
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:15,640
Speaker 17: Then they don't have to worry about things like do

1990
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:19,600
Speaker 17: I have to remember passwords and codes, you know, for

1991
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 17: my own wallets. So it just simplifies the process. And

1992
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:24,600
Speaker 17: I do think it has a lot to do with

1993
01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 17: the price increase. We're sueing bitcoin today just sitting under

1994
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:29,800
Speaker 17: forty three thousand.

1995
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 7: Dollars a coin. And just so your listeners know, you

1996
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:34,519
Speaker 7: don't have to buy one coin at once.

1997
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 17: The bitcoin's infinitely divisible, which means you could buy twenty

1998
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,960
Speaker 17: dollars of it fifty dollars, one thousand dollars. But this

1999
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:45,799
Speaker 17: adds so much legitimacy to the space, and this also

2000
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,679
Speaker 17: opens up crypto and bitcoin to a bunch of investors

2001
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,559
Speaker 17: who would have never considered it before.

2002
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 1: Ben, I'm going to read you an email from you know,

2003
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:56,040
Speaker 1: I have my Gmail account, which you know has an

2004
01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 1: archive all my emails. This is from a friend that

2005
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 1: was in the bitcoin space. Early Thursday, November seventh, twenty thirteen.

2006
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 1: He says, I just want to put this on your radar.

2007
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 1: We're having another bitcoin meetup. Bitcoin is in the news

2008
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot, and the price just hit a new high

2009
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:12,960
Speaker 1: at over three hundred dollars per bitcoin. I think the

2010
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:14,680
Speaker 1: last time I talked to you about bitcoin, it was

2011
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:16,679
Speaker 1: at one hundred and twenty five, so it is growing.

2012
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:20,599
Speaker 1: He was trying to ask me to buy bitcoin back

2013
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:24,800
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, and I didn't. But this goes to

2014
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:26,599
Speaker 1: show that this thing has been around for a while.

2015
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 1: There have been people that have been tracking, like yourself

2016
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:31,919
Speaker 1: and this person very closely.

2017
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 2: Should I have bought back.

2018
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,760
Speaker 17: Then, Well, I think a lot of people think they

2019
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:41,719
Speaker 17: should have bought back then, But you know, it's never

2020
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:44,759
Speaker 17: too late, and I think people should do their research

2021
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 17: because you want to have conviction not just in bitcoin,

2022
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 17: but in any sort of financial asset you buy because

2023
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 17: you know, prices go up, prices go down. But if

2024
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 17: you have conviction in the financial asset you're buying, you're

2025
01:37:57,040 --> 01:38:02,759
Speaker 17: more likely to hold it long and have better returns.

2026
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:05,680
Speaker 17: But to your point, Bitcoin's been incredibly resilient. I mean,

2027
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 17: let's face it, crypto's had some horrible headlines in the

2028
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 17: past year or two, from FTX to binance. We've also

2029
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,559
Speaker 17: had the interest rates go through to over five percent.

2030
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 17: And for bitcoin to be sitting at forty five thousand

2031
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:23,559
Speaker 17: dollars today or forty three thousand dollars today, it wasn't

2032
01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 17: forty five thousand a couple of days ago. But to

2033
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:29,240
Speaker 17: be sitting that high with you know, bad news, higher

2034
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:32,720
Speaker 17: interest rates, some economic uncertainty, I think is an incredibly

2035
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 17: positive sign for crypto and for bitcoin. And now you

2036
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 17: have very legitimate players like black Rock, Chase, JP Morgan

2037
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 17: getting into the fray.

2038
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 7: And then, for those of your listeners who don't know,

2039
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:48,200
Speaker 7: this year twenty twenty.

2040
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:51,280
Speaker 17: Four, so every four years with bitcoin, there's something called

2041
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:55,839
Speaker 17: the happening that means the rewards to minors, the supply

2042
01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:01,280
Speaker 17: of crypto that's generated every ten minutes actually cuts in half,

2043
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 17: So there's more scarcely every four years with bitcoin, and

2044
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 17: that's typically also in price as well, So there's a

2045
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:13,880
Speaker 17: there's a lot of signs that have allowed bitcoin to

2046
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:15,439
Speaker 17: really kind of break out from the fold.

2047
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:15,759
Speaker 4: Here.

2048
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 1: All right, Ben Weiss, we're gonna leave it there, Thanks

2049
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:19,639
Speaker 1: so much for joining me today.

2050
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 7: Thanks so much, Rich, how a good one?

2051
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: All right, Ben wi CEO and co founder of coin flip.

2052
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:31,719
Speaker 1: This is a Bitcoin ATM provider. Is coin flip dot tech? Again?

2053
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 1: That was Ben Weiss, CEO and co founder of coin flip,

2054
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:39,120
Speaker 1: the website coin flip dot tech. Do your research before

2055
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,360
Speaker 1: you jump in. Like anything else that has to do

2056
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:44,200
Speaker 1: with money, you gotta do your research. But it is

2057
01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 1: certainly an interesting, interesting.

2058
01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:47,679
Speaker 2: Place with bitcoin.

2059
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 1: All right, coming up the feedback segment. Can't wait, rich

2060
01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 1: on Tech, Rich Demiro here, we'll be right back. Welcome

2061
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech here, hanging out with you

2062
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 1: talking technology. As you can see, my special guest is

2063
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:08,439
Speaker 1: still chatting into the microphone. That's my wife, Lindsay. She

2064
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 1: joined me today to read some of your questions. I

2065
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 1: think she did a very good job. I do have

2066
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 1: a warning though, for you. If you got gift cards

2067
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:22,120
Speaker 1: over the holidays, check the balance immediately. This happened to us,

2068
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 1: and it's quite scary. It's happening to a lot of

2069
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 1: people based on the comments on my Instagram and Facebook page.

2070
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 1: But basically what happens is scam artists go to the stores,

2071
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,760
Speaker 1: they write down the numbers from gift cards, so like

2072
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 1: somehow open up the back of them, write down the

2073
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:41,719
Speaker 1: number and then they'll record that number, keep it at home,

2074
01:40:42,120 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 1: and I guess they check on a daily basis to

2075
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: see if any money got charged up onto that card,

2076
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:50,719
Speaker 1: and as soon as it does, they drain the funds.

2077
01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:53,680
Speaker 1: So what happens when you get gift cards, right, you

2078
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 1: give them, you buy them at the store, You hold

2079
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: on to them for a week, You give it to

2080
01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:00,080
Speaker 1: a person at a birthday party or the holidays, that

2081
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:02,040
Speaker 1: person gets it, they hold on to it for a

2082
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:04,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So, as you can see, there's a

2083
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of time here for the scam artists to do

2084
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 1: their work. And so I've noticed that a lot of

2085
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:12,839
Speaker 1: registers they will look at the cards, they will visually

2086
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:14,840
Speaker 1: inspect them to make sure that they have not been

2087
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 1: tampered with, but it doesn't always catch them. And so

2088
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 1: what you need to do. If you have a gift

2089
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:23,599
Speaker 1: card that you got over the holidays. Number one, check

2090
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 1: the balance and make sure that it is valid, because

2091
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:28,720
Speaker 1: if it's not. The quicker you do this, the more

2092
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:31,559
Speaker 1: of a chance you might have of recovering those funds.

2093
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 1: The problem is gift cards are pretty much treated as cash.

2094
01:41:35,439 --> 01:41:37,760
Speaker 1: But if you have the receipt and you've got your information,

2095
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: some people say they are successful in getting the money back.

2096
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:45,719
Speaker 1: But this is a very very big issue that again

2097
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 1: it happened to us, and you know, it's just one

2098
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 1: of those things where there are so many gift cards.

2099
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Gift cards are almost their own currency, and it's just

2100
01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:59,560
Speaker 1: it's very simple for these scam artists to do this apparently,

2101
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: and people buy these cards, they don't look at the back,

2102
01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: they don't notice that numbers are scratched off and recorded,

2103
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 1: and they put the money on it and it's gone.

2104
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 1: So check for that for sure before we get to

2105
01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 1: the feedback. Two more things I saw at CES I

2106
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 1: thought were pretty cool. Zekes zox. This is a fully

2107
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 1: autonomous ride hailing vehicle made by Amazon owned Zekes. This

2108
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,920
Speaker 1: is a vehicle with no human controls. There's no steering wheels,

2109
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:30,880
Speaker 1: there's no pedals, there's four seats inside. The car goes

2110
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 1: up to seventy five miles an hour. It can go

2111
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 1: either way. So the lights on the front and the

2112
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 1: back changed from white to red so it can go

2113
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 1: back or forth. It's starting public service in twenty twenty

2114
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: four in Las Vegas. And this is pretty wild. It's

2115
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 1: like basically a ride hailing taxi, but there's no human

2116
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:52,720
Speaker 1: controls and no human inside. It's called zekes Zox that

2117
01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:56,760
Speaker 1: is coming soon from an Amazon owned company. And then

2118
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 1: this was pretty cool. An electric grill. So Current has

2119
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:04,280
Speaker 1: a smart electric grill. It's called the Current Model G.

2120
01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 1: It's Wi Fi enabled, fully electric, you can use it outside.

2121
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 2: It's got a mobile app.

2122
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 1: Preheats in ten minutes, reaches seven hundred degrees dual temperature zones.

2123
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:17,960
Speaker 1: And again everything is going electric. Now the grill is

2124
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:20,679
Speaker 1: going electric as well. And speaking of electric, how about

2125
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 1: indoor smoker. GE has an indoor smart smoker. This is

2126
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:30,200
Speaker 1: an indoor electric smoker. It's got this filtration system on

2127
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 1: it that lets you smoke food inside. Can you imagine,

2128
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know.

2129
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:34,639
Speaker 2: When you smoke food.

2130
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 1: I've never done it, but I've been around people that do.

2131
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:38,800
Speaker 1: And it's a lot of smoke, but they figured out

2132
01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:40,680
Speaker 1: a way to kind of capture that smoke clean out

2133
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:42,920
Speaker 1: the air. And I was near this thing, and you

2134
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 1: can smell the smoky flavor. But it's not like an

2135
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:49,080
Speaker 1: outdoor smoker for sure. So now if you have an

2136
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,840
Speaker 1: inside you know, don't have an outside, or you live

2137
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 1: in a condo or an apartment or whatever, you can

2138
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:57,559
Speaker 1: now have an indoor smoker holds up to three racks

2139
01:43:57,600 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 1: of ribs or a fourteen pound pork butt. Is that

2140
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:07,520
Speaker 1: what people are making. It's got connected features and small footprints,

2141
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot of it is dishwasher safe, and it's available

2142
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 1: for nine hundred ninety nine dollars. Again, that's the ge

2143
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:15,840
Speaker 1: profile smart indoor smoker. And they were smoking a chicken

2144
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:17,600
Speaker 1: in there or something like that. Maybe it was a

2145
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 1: pork butt. I don't know. All right, let's get to

2146
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 1: the feedbag segment. Joseph says, love the show. Just want

2147
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 1: to share with you my discovering of an amazing device.

2148
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 1: After cutting the cord, audio video over the air broadcast

2149
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 1: quality has a much better than compressed cable. We get

2150
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:37,439
Speaker 1: fantastic reception with our MOHU window antenna. The best is

2151
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:41,679

2205
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:02,479
Speaker 16: Only when I brought the kids in that one day

01:47:02,520 --> 01:47:04,360

Speaker 1: A proud Okay. Well, oh I just heard it. Sounds

01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:19,479
Speaker 1: like Lindsay's gonna come back. I think we didn't scare

2214
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:22,760

Speaker 1: for one more feedback. Thanks Lindsay for being on the show.

2216
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:27,560
Speaker 1: Jim says, I popped into a store to buy cash

2217
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 1: to pay cash to buy a birthday card. When I

2218
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:31,000
Speaker 1: got the receipt, it looks like the point of sale

2219
01:47:31,040 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 1: device tried to use two contactless cards before processing my

2220
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:37,280
Speaker 1: cash transaction. Neither of the cards on the receipt match

2221
01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 1: what I carry in my RFID blocking wallet. I wonder

2222
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:41,719
Speaker 1: if the poor cashier is going to see a large

2223
01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 1: bill if the card he tries to tap were hers. Ooh,

2224
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 1: I have noticed those NFC credit cards are working from

2225
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 1: further and further away, it seems so yes, be careful

2226
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:53,200
Speaker 1: when you put them by the register. All right.

2227
