Yeah, 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: you know how when you look up something or you 19 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: see something you're like, is that true? And Stephanie Humphrey 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: later on in the show is going to talk digital citizenship, 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: sharing her expert advice on kids and social media so 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: great guests there, and of course I will bring you 23 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: all of the latest news and great topics that you 24 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: should be aware of in the tech world. 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: Let's start with Apple. 26 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: This week, Apple did what I call some press release 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: announcements of products. So this is when they don't have 28 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: a big event to announce products, but they just put 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: out a press release and voila, we have some new products. 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: These are not new products in a way of like 31 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: we've never seen them before. 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: These are just refreshed products. 33 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: So we got new iPads, we got a new MacBook, 34 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: MacBook Air, and let me go over what you need 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: to know about these. So first off, let's start with 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: the iPads. So right now, Apple has a couple of 37 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: iPads in their lineup. They've got the Mini, then they've 38 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: got the iPad, then they've got the iPad Air, and 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: then they've got the iPad Pro. So these are the 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: new iPad Airs and of course the new iPad which 41 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: I call the standard iPad. So let's start with the 42 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: iPad Air. Got the M three chip, so that's Apples. 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: You know, these are the chips that Apple makes themselves, 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: and they are really good because they're very power efficient 45 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: and they're very powerful, and of course they're written for 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: Apple software. So ever since Apple started writing their own 47 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: chips and making their own chips, they products have just 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: gotten really good. So this is not their latest M 49 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: four chip, but it's the M three, so last year's model, 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: but that's still really good in an iPad AIR. And 51 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: the big thing that this brings to the iPad is 52 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: Apple Intelligence, so that means that you can have Apple 53 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: Intelligence on the iPad AIR. This is their version of AI. 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: Of course, I'll tell you more about that in a 55 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: little bit, because it's been delayed just a little bit. 56 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: Some of the big features we've been waiting for. So this, 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: like I said, is not their top of the line iPad, 58 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: but it's the next in line. So these are kind 59 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: of pricey. You're talking five ninety nine for an eleven 60 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: inch model, seven ninety nine for a thirteen inch model. 61 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: But they did drop the price on that magic keyboard. 62 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: So that's the keyboard case that goes along with this, 63 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: And if you're trying to get any work done on 64 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: an iPad, I highly recommend you get that. It's kind 65 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: of expensive. I mean it's two hundred and sixty nine dollars. 66 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: My wife was in the Apple store with me and 67 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: we saw this. My kid wanted it, and she's like, wait, 68 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: why is a keyboard three hundred dollars? This is before 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: the price guy says, that's just what it is, but 70 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: it does sort of you know, here's the deal. Apple 71 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: is riding this really fine line with the iPad where 72 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: they're still trying to keep this thing as a productive device, 73 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: but they don't want to eat into their laptop sales, 74 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: right So if they wanted to sort of merge these things, 75 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: they would give you a laptop that has a touchscreen, 76 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: or they'd give you a full fledged iPad that runs 77 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: Mac os or very close to it software. They've done 78 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: neither of those things. They keep kind of doing different 79 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: things with the laptops versus the eyepads because they want 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: to keep them sort of separate and keep the use 81 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: case scenarios separate. So whether that's a good or bad thing, 82 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but they are very separate devices. My 83 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: feeling is the iPad overall is still very much a 84 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: consumption device, whereas the laptop is very much a productivity device. 85 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: So back to the keyboard. It got a row of 86 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: function keys at the top, and it also got a 87 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: larger track pad, So again trying to make these things 88 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: more useful for productivity. So you might be wondering, We'll 89 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: wait a second, do I go with the iPad Pro 90 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: or do I go with the iPad Air? 91 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: Well, the Pro is just overall better. 92 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: That's the best iPad that Apple makes, and it's probably 93 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: the closest to a laptop replacement if you want just 94 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: one product that gives you both the laptop experience and 95 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: also the iPad experience. So the Pro has a better screen, 96 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: it's got face ID, it's got thunderbolt, it's got better cameras, 97 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: it's got more speakers, and it has better microphones. So 98 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: that is the iPad pro versus the iPad Air. Now 99 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: let's talk about the iPad. I think that is probably 100 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: the best for everyone out there. I call it the 101 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: standard iPad. We're up to the eleventh generation of this device. 102 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: And I still remember when this thing launched. I was 103 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: working at techmeme dot com. That's the tech website for 104 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: It's kind of like the front page for tech news, 105 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: and I remember watching this event and just sitting there. 106 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: There had been so many rumors about what this device 107 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 1: was gonna be. This was Apple's big follow up after 108 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: the success they saw with the iPhone. They were like, 109 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: we have something else that's gonna even be better. 110 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 2: And the iPad was. 111 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it really was revolutionary. I mean, if you 112 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: think about all of the businesses that the iPad has affected, 113 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: it's been a lot. I mean you're talking magazines, books, 114 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, creativity, drawing, and it's just so many. 115 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 2: It goes on and on. 116 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: The iPad has just become kind of like what the 117 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: iPhone did for everything else, the iPad does for sort 118 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: of the rest of the world. Right, you need a 119 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: screen that just runs great software and can do pretty 120 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: much anything, that's the iPad. So the standard iPad, we're 121 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: up to the eleventh generation. This now has a faster chip. 122 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: It's the A sixteen. It's not Apple's fastest once again, 123 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: that's the A eighteen, which is in the latest iPhones. 124 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: But the interesting thing here is that there is still 125 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: no Apple AI support on this chip. So they upgraded 126 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: the iPad, but they didn't go so far as to 127 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: give you the AI, which again they're protecting their product lines. 128 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: They have to have differences between these products. So if 129 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: you want the AI on the iPad, you got to 130 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: go with the Air or the Pro. Now, I don't 131 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: think any of that matters, because if you need AI 132 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: on the iPad, you could just download Chat GBT that's 133 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: still going to run just fine. But again, it's kind 134 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: of a weird choice by Apple because they've been promoting 135 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: AI so heavily. Then they come out with a brand 136 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: new product that doesn't have it storage bump. Now you 137 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: get one hundred and twenty eight gigs of storage it 138 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: used to be sixty four. Still the same price, three 139 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine dollars. Amazon is already discounting this 140 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: brand new iPad. 141 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: It hasn't even launched yet. It comes out March twelfth. 142 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: They're giving you thirty dollars let's see, yeah, twenty dollars. 143 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: Twenty dollars off three hundred and twenty nine dollars. So again, 144 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: don't buy this iPad at full price, get it at 145 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: a lower price. Should you upgrade, Well, if your iPad 146 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: still does what you need, I don't think he needs 147 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: upgrade because your iPad's just fine. Now Here is my 148 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: thought process on the upgrade. Okay, if you are running 149 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: an iPad in the year twenty twenty five, that's not 150 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: going to get the new software update next year. So 151 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: right now, iPad OS eighteen is compatible with the iPad 152 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: seventh generation and later. Okay, so if you are running 153 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: an iPad seventh generation right now, it might be a 154 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: good idea to upgrade because next year, chances are iPad 155 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: or this year, later this year, iPad OS nineteen is 156 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: probably not going to run on your iPad. It's probably 157 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: going to drop off. So in that reason, I would say, 158 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: probably get a new one if you want it. But 159 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: if your iPad's just fine, it's getting software updates, is 160 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: doing what you need, You're gonna be just fine. Now, 161 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: the MacBook Air, this got the M four chip, and 162 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: that is their latest chip. This got the M four 163 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: chip and a new sky blue color. And I will 164 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: tell you I bought the iPad air last year. Oh sorry, 165 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: the MacBook Air last year with the M three chip, 166 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: and I absolutely love it. 167 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: It's great. 168 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: It's not as good as a Pro, but it's a 169 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: great laptop. My battery life on this is absolutely incredible. 170 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: In fact, I leave it on for the three hours 171 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: of this show. I leave the screen on, and I 172 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: come home and I still have about eighty percent battery life. 173 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean this thing, or if not more, I mean 174 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: this thing is really an amazingly power efficient device. They're 175 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: saying you now get even more battery life eighteen hours 176 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: of battery life. That's of course with all the peak 177 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: conditions and things like that, and tariffs, what tariffs. This 178 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: got a price cut of one hundred dollars. Starts at 179 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: nine hundred ninety nine dollars, So nine hundred and ninety 180 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: nine dollars for one of the best laptops. You can 181 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: get eight hundred ninety nine dollars if you have education 182 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: pricing access. That's a you're a teacher student. You can 183 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: look on Apple's website see if you qualify for that. 184 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: It also has a better camera for video calls, and 185 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: it now supports two external displays with the built in 186 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: screen active. 187 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: So here is my one tip for this. 188 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: Go with the thirteen inch if you are just looking 189 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: to do basic things like email, web browsing, and YouTube. 190 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: But if you're going to try to do any work 191 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: on this MacBook Air, go with the fifteen inch model. 192 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: Last year I went with the or two years ago 193 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: I went the thirteen inch. Could not get anything done 194 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: on that thing. The screen was just too small. Now 195 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: I went with the fifteen inch. You can have your 196 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: web browser on the left, you can have your AI 197 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: and your messages on the right, So go with the 198 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: fifteen inch if you want the best productivity.

I just want to 238 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: be able to listen to my music. 239 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 2: Okay. 240 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: So you've got music, You've got the music, the audio files, 241 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: you want to play them on your Android phone? Yeah, okay, 242 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: Well there's a couple of ways you can do this. 243 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: What kind of phone do you have? 244 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: Samsung? 245 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: Okay, Samsung, So. 246 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: I mean you can use uh, let's see, Samsung used 247 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: to have a built in player, but I guess they 248 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: don't more. Huh okay, well there, you could use YouTube Music. 249 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: If you download that, you can actually upload the songs 250 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: to their cloud service. So it actually makes it quite 251 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: easy because you don't even have to transfer them to 252 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: your phone. So if you go to even if you 253 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: don't have a subscription. By the way, so if you 254 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: go to music dot YouTube dot com, you can go 255 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: to library and you can literally just drag music into 256 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: there and you'll see a section that says uploads, and 257 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: then when you go to your phone, those songs will 258 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: be on your phone as well. So that's one of 259 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: like the easiest, simplest ways to do it. Other than that, 260 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: there are some apps that you can use, but I 261 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: would have to do some research to figure out which 262 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: one I would recommend on that because it's been a 263 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: long time since I used an app to play music 264 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: on the phone like that. But I'll have to look 265 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: into that. But I think I mean, obviously you can 266 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: use an app like VLC. They have local playback of 267 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: anything on your phone. But I'm trying to think of 268 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: an app that actually like has a good organization for 269 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: your phone. But I would start with the YouTube music 270 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: because I think that's going to be the simplest one, 271 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: and you're gonna be able to store your stuff and 272 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: organize it inside that app even if you're not paying, 273 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: So you don't necessarily need to pay for that to 274 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: use that feature, because Google used to have that as 275 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: a feature where that was sort of the included music player. 276 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's more. So if you if you're 277 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: listening and you have a music player that you like 278 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: on Android, give me a call eight eight eight rich 279 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: one O one, or sebody a message Rich on tech 280 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 1: dot tv and just hit contact and I will take 281 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: a look at that and give some of your suggestions 282 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: and I'll see what I got I've got. You know, 283 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: I take some notes on some of this stuff, so 284 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna see what I have in my notes about 285 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: what I like for like a music app, let's say, so, 286 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: I know I always kind of bookmark these things. 287 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna look at that as well. 288 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: Okay, good question, Tony, Thanks for that, appreciate it. Eight 289 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: eight eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven 290 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. I thought this 291 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: was interesting week. So I got a phone call eight 292 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: hundred number. And I know you're not supposed to answer 293 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: calls that you don't know who they're from, but you know, 294 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: when you've got kids, you kind of have to answer 295 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: the phone right, no matter what. Because the last time 296 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: I didn't answer the phone or I don't even remember, 297 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: but it was basically my kid had like a broken arm. 298 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: It was like a random call and I wasn't going 299 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: to answer it, but I did, and it was like, oh, 300 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: thank god I did. But this time, so I typically 301 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: answer my phone unless it's marked spam call, I will 302 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: answer it. So eight hundred number calls and immediately the 303 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: person says, hey, this is Bank of America credit Card 304 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: Verification Center. They wanted to prove my recent application. I 305 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: was like, number one, if you apply for a credit card, 306 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: which I didn't, they approve it or deny it right away. 307 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: They don't call you to like I mean, as far 308 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: as I know, I've never seen that. So I was like, okay, 309 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: it seemed like this was a scam, but I wanted 310 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: to see where the guy was going. And it occurred 311 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: to me that I should try something new. So I 312 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: tapped the call recording feature on the iPhone. This is 313 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: brand new in iOS eighteen and there's a little icon 314 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: upper left hand corner when you're on a call, looks 315 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: like kind of an audio wave. I tap that and 316 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: it said this call will be recorded. And it gave 317 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: a little countdown three to two one. And as soon 318 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: as they heard that this call will be recorded, guess what, 319 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: they hung up immediately. And I said, Okay, I guess 320 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: it's a scam because who wants to be recorded if 321 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: you're a scam artist, of course you don't. You don't 322 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: want your voice. I mean not that they not that 323 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: you're going to like catch this person, but they just 324 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: don't want to be recorded because they just It just 325 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: makes sense. So I posted this to my Instagram at 326 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: rich on Tech, and you guys just went nuts on it. 327 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: You said, this was awesome. You love it. People are 328 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: trying it out. It seems to work. So the bottom line, 329 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: it might not be fool proof, but it might be 330 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: something fun to try. My general advice is not to 331 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: answer these calls, but if you do answer one, you 332 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: find yourself in a tricky situation with anyone any you know, 333 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: telemarker or whatever. They don't want to be recorded, so 334 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: just press that call recording. As soon as they hear that, 335 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: they might hang up. Call recording is now built into 336 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: IF as well as newer Pixel and Samsung devices. So 337 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: on Pixel, when you're in a call, it says call assist. 338 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: You tap that, and then it says call notes. You 339 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: tap that and it will record. They should just label 340 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: it call recording. Why they say call notes call assist, 341 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. On Samsung, if you're on one UI seven, 342 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: which is the latest software, not every phone has it, 343 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: but a lot of the newer ones do. It looks 344 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: like an icon with a cassette tape and the letter T. 345 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: So again, once you're on that call screen, if you 346 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: see that icon, you can tap that and all of them, 347 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: because of legal reasons, say this call will be recorded, 348 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: and so once the other person hears that, if they 349 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: hang up, yeah, you know you got a scam artist 350 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: on your hands. If you want to see that tip, 351 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: go to my instagram at rich on Tech. Coming up, 352 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to Matt Swider about the coolest things 353 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: he saw at this year's Mobile World Congress. This is 354 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: rich on Tech triple eight rich one O one eight 355 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. 356 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: We just got a question from Tony. 357 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: He was at asking about a good app for playing 358 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: local files on his Samsung phone, like local MP three's, 359 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: and I recommended the cloud feature in Google Music. But 360 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: I also said that Samsung used to have like their 361 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: own music app. I guess they don't pre install it 362 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: on the phones, but doing some further research during the commercial, yes, 363 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: Samsung still does have a Samsung Music app in the 364 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: play Store, so that's probably what I'd recommend for your 365 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: Samsung phone is just download the Samsung Music app. 366 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 2: And it's interesting. I tested it. 367 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: You can't download it on a non Samsung device, so 368 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: probably the best thing to do is if you have 369 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: a Samsung phone, you can do that, and it supports 370 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: all the different music files. And it was just updated 371 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: on February sixth, so clearly Samsung is keeping this up 372 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: to date. 373 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: So there you have it. 374 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: That is the best way Tony to play those local 375 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: music files. 376 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: There you go. I love it. All right, Let's bring 377 00:17:59,040 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: on Matt. 378 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: Swy just got back from Barcelona for Mobile World Congress. 379 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 2: Matt, welcome back to the show. 380 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: I think you now have the designation of being the 381 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: guests that has been on the most. 382 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 4: That I. 383 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 5: Cherished that. I will await my award. Thank you. 384 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 1: We'll take another ding for that. We got Adam in 385 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: for Bobo today. He was very excited because he brought 386 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of sound effects with him, so he 387 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: said he's got to get quicker, but he will. You know, 388 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: we're just warming up here, all right. So explain what 389 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: Mobile World Congress is. 390 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a lot like CEES which a lot of 391 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 6: your listeners know about, but it's in Barcelona and it's 392 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 6: dedicated to mobile technology. So anything that fits in your 393 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 6: pocket or anything that fits in a backpack, including laptop, 394 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 6: so those types of things. 395 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: So what's the deal with big companies because I feel like, 396 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot of international companies stuff that 397 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: doesn't really necessarily come to the US. But you see 398 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: a lot of cool like concept y stuff. 399 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, Apple isn't here, you know, they weren't there. Samsung 400 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 6: hasn't unveiled a big flagship phone at More World Congress 401 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 6: in years. It's a lot of Chinese manufacturers, Lenovo, Honor, Oppo, Gao, 402 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 6: Me Real, met some people might not be familiar with those, 403 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 6: but they make a lot a lot of the gadgets 404 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 6: that you wish you could get, and it's definitely stuff 405 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 6: that trickles down to us products eventually. So a lot 406 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 6: of the innovations that they're doing at a cheaper price, 407 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 6: eventually the Samsungs and the Apples of the world will 408 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 6: take those ideas and have their own version of those. 409 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: So tell me about some of the things you saw this, uh, 410 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: this Lenovo solar powered laptop. 411 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 2: Tell me about that. Was it? Was it cool? 412 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: Did you get to like touch it or is it 413 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: one of those things where it's like behind glass. 414 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, not only did I get to touch it, I 415 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 6: got to, you know, full around with it where it's 416 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 6: I was covering up the lid that is solar powered. 417 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 6: You know, it has a grid on there. It looks 418 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 6: a lot sleeker than you would expect, and it was 419 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 6: able to you know, if you cover it up, it 420 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,239 Speaker 6: dips in its charge meter. But if you're you know, 421 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 6: outside outdoors, it can get twenty minutes with direct sunlight. 422 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 6: It can get one hour of video playback. So that's 423 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 6: that's pretty good. It could be one day an everlasting laptop. 424 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 6: So I love the future of It's not quite there, 425 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 6: but it's something that is a concept that that could 426 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 6: go really far. 427 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: Interesting. Who do you think that would be good for? 428 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: Just in general? Like if do you have to be 429 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: out in direct sun? Or can you be inside? 430 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 6: That was the thing that a lot of my followers 431 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 6: had mentioned. It's like, why do I want to be outdoors? 432 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 6: It doesn't have to be direct sun. And so if 433 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 6: you're you know, we have a window that has indirect 434 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 6: sunlight that also works. So it'll be a little bit 435 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 6: slower of a charge, but it's still going to charge 436 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 6: your your. 437 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: Laptop, all right. 438 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: Tell me about this other Lenovo laptop eighteen inch screen 439 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: because that's pretty large. 440 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, so eighteen inches that just seems even too big 441 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 6: to actually fout them. But it folds down into a 442 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 6: thirteen inch laptop, which is kind of awesome. So it 443 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 6: has this screen that extends upward, so that's a really 444 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 6: cool thing. And it just has a screen on the 445 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 6: front and the back basically, and you can unfold it 446 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 6: upward and that's really cool. I think that's great for 447 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 6: a productivity because I have a multi monitor setup that 448 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 6: I always use, but I can't take that with me 449 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 6: on the road, and it's the think Book flip AIPC 450 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 6: another concept but something that's very promising. 451 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: And I was just complaining earlier how I bought the 452 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: MacBook Pro thirteen inch a couple of years ago, and 453 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: I literally was ready to throw the thing out the 454 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: window because I couldn't. My productivity went so far down 455 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: for two years, I almost didn't do any work. It 456 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: was just like I couldn't even check my email. It 457 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: was fast, but the screen real estate was so tiny 458 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: that I felt like I was back using the original iPhone. 459 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 6: A great suggestion for that is sidecar, which you use 460 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 6: an iPad and that kind of acts as a screen, 461 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 6: but you know, it's a little bit just joint you 462 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 6: at the set it up. And I feel like my 463 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 6: eleven inch iPad Pro isn't quite a good match for 464 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,719 Speaker 6: a fourteen inch MacBook Pro. You really need the larger 465 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 6: iPad Pro for that reason to kind of feel like 466 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 6: it's not a tiny sidecar you want. You want that, 467 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 6: but that's a good remedy until Lenovo and others come 468 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 6: out with this new technology. 469 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I went fifteen inch this time, and it's 470 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: just fine. 471 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: I have got my chat GBT on the right, my 472 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: browser window on the left, and I'm very happy. Let's 473 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: talk about Honor. So, what what's the deal with Honor? 474 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: I've heard of this company and where are they out 475 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: of and like what are they? What's their deal? 476 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's a Chinese company. 477 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 6: It used to be kind of like a sub brand 478 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 6: of Huawei before they got spun out, but now they're 479 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 6: they're making a lot of the gadgets that are undercutting 480 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 6: what Apple can do. 481 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 5: So they have something that's it's not a MacBook, but 482 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 5: it's a magic Book Pro fourteen. 483 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 6: It's a Watch fifteen Ultra, and it's an Honor Pad nine. 484 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 6: So those are some of the new gadgets. They also 485 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 6: have kind of a new category that's emerging. The earbuds open, 486 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 6: so they're they're not they don't quite stick in your ears, 487 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 6: but they kind of hang on the uh like just 488 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 6: outside the ears, and it's like having speakers on your ear. 489 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 5: So it's pretty good uh volume. 490 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 6: A lot of runners and bicyclists love this because you're 491 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 6: able to hear the outside world and legally you're not 492 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 6: supposed to have earbuds in when you're biking, at least 493 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 6: in New York. 494 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 2: City. 495 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 5: So this is kind of like, what, Yeah. 496 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: It's illegal to wear air pods in New York City. 497 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 6: Yeah when you're on a bike. Yeah, because come on, 498 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 6: you're supposed to hear the traffic. 499 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: Wow, traffic. 500 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 6: So this has kind of been a remedy and runners 501 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 6: love it too, because they don't want to be, you know, 502 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 6: with noise isolation while they're running completely, but they want 503 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 6: to have good sounds. So the Honor earbuds open are 504 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 6: kind of a good choice. But we were really impressed 505 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 6: when we got to go hands on with my Moraile Congress. 506 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 6: My colleague Max was able to test them out. But 507 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 6: Honor's big thing is that they are investing ten billion 508 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 6: dollars into AI, which you know, doesn't really mean a 509 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 6: lot for consumers right now, but it just means that 510 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 6: it's a company that's keeping up with Apple, Microsoft and 511 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 6: everybody else investing gobs money into artificial intelligence. 512 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: It's funny on the on the topic of the open earbuds, 513 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: I this morning, I typically run with these shocks like 514 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: open earbuds, like they you know, they use like the 515 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: bone conduction instead of like sealing out your ear, So 516 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: it's nice when you're running and you can hear everything 517 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: around you. But today I ended up using the AirPods pro. 518 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: But I did the the mode where it kind of 519 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: adapts when it's you know, if you're talking, it'll go 520 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: into like where you can hear transparency or it'll noise 521 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: cancel when nobody's around you. 522 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: So I found that that worked pretty well. 523 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: The open The thing about the open earbuds is that 524 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: the audio quality is not going to be as like 525 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: pronounced as something that seals out your ear right. 526 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 6: We we tested out a couple, you know, the one 527 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 6: plus open the earbuds that they have not as good 528 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 6: as as something that you know you'll have that on. 529 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 5: But you know that's that's really the balance. 530 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 6: You have to strike the right balance between great quality 531 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 6: and you know, the transparency that you were talking about. 532 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 6: That's that's really you know, what they have to hit on. 533 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 6: I call the transparency mode that Apple has. It shames 534 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 6: me basically into not singing Kerry Okio on the streets 535 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 6: in New York City because it starts to make the 536 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 6: sound volume go down because it thinks you're talking to somebody, 537 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 6: So I it catches me sometimes. 538 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: That's so funny, or if like I actually they must 539 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: have done some sort of upgrade because I felt like 540 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: it got a lot better today when I had a monks. 541 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: It's been a while since I wore them. 542 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: But the other thing is when you like cough or 543 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: make like I find myself and I'm running trying to 544 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: not make any noise whatsoever, because when they first introduce 545 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: that mode, it would take a long time for it 546 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: to like kick out of the mode, like once it 547 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: gets into it. At one point when it first launched, 548 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: I had to like restart my phone basically, like it 549 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: was so bad. It was like I had to disconnect 550 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: the air buds and or the air pods and everything. 551 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: But now today it was like perfect. 552 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 6: It's very sensitive sometimes, but I think they, yeah, you're right. 553 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 6: There was some sort of firmware update, probably along with 554 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 6: the hearing aid technology that came out with When I 555 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 6: was in Barcelona, we went to a you know, someone's 556 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 6: party and one of the companies and it was very loud, 557 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 6: but you could actually stick in your AirPods pro AirPods 558 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 6: PRO two specifically and kind of drown out the noise. 559 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 6: So use it as a noise cancelation devices. 560 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: All right. 561 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: Finally, before we go this this real meet ultraphone concept. 562 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 2: I saw this scrolling through my Instagram a lot. 563 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 6: Yeah, so you know it's basically replacing the body of 564 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 6: a mirrorless or DSLR camera. So say you forgot the body, 565 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 6: you know, that big bulky body of a camera, real camera, 566 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 6: but you still had the DSR lenses and your phone, 567 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 6: so you're able to kind of stick that that lens 568 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,959 Speaker 6: on top of the smartphone and get three times and 569 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 6: ten times zoom and it feels like DSLR quality. Got 570 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 6: to test that out. Putting together it was like, you know, 571 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 6: very interesting. It took a second to do it. That 572 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 6: was my first first time doing it, and I was 573 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 6: really impressed with the quality. But it's another Chinese phone 574 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 6: company called real Me. It's there, it's their concept, but 575 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 6: the fact that we got to test it out means 576 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 6: it's we're probably gonna see it very soon. 577 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: I feel like all these concepts that we see, at 578 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: the end of the day, people just go back to 579 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: their iPhone. It's like the same technology for the past 580 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: like ten years now or however many years the iPhone's 581 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: been out. 582 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 5: It's true. 583 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 6: And I call that trickle down technology because you know, 584 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 6: you might not be able to you know have these 585 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 6: devices because maybe they don't they don't release in the US, 586 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 6: or maybe it's just not part of your you know, 587 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 6: your it's not in your wheelhouse of what you get 588 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 6: because you. 589 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 5: Maybe stick to the iPhone. 590 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 6: Eventually, if that technology is good enough, it's going to 591 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 6: force the Samsungs the Apples of the world to adopt that. So, 592 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 6: you know a lot of the flip and foldable screens 593 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 6: that we've been seeing. Eventually, maybe next year Apple will 594 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 6: have something of that kind with a foldable phone. 595 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: All right, Matt Swider of the Shortcut dot great newsletter. 596 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: Sign up for it the shortcut dot Com.

You always mentioned useful 618 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: info tips and tricks that you post in your IG account. 619 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: Is the same info post it available on other social 620 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: media platforms. 621 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: Good question. 622 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: Most of the time I will post it to my Facebook, Facebook, 623 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: dot com. 624 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: Slash rich on Tech. Those are both meta. 625 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: So if you're staying off meta you don't like meta, 626 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: I understand that you know you won't see those. I 627 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: sometimes post to Twitter or x but typically it just 628 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: depends like I'm not one of those people that posts 629 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: the same thing everywhere, and so I think, Tony, the 630 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: best way to follow me is probably my newsletter. Just 631 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: go to rich on Tech dot tv, sign up for 632 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: the newsletter, and that's probably the best way to do it. 633 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: Because if something if something bubbles up, and I mean 634 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: like if something is popular on one of the places 635 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: I post it, I typically include it in the newsletter 636 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: because I'm like, oh, okay, people thought that was interesting, 637 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: so let me include it for my broad audience.

You're on with Rich. 640 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: Hi. Rich. 641 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 7: I appreciate everything you do with Thank you for taking 642 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 7: my call. 643 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I've got a question. 644 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 7: I have an iPhone, the sixteen Pro, and now that we. 645 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 3: Have acts to the. 646 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 7: Port, so we can add another like a external hard 647 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 7: drive or you know, reader, I'm trying to have a 648 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 7: lot of music files already, and I'm trying to find 649 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 7: also a music player that will say this file directly 650 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 7: without any subscription anything like that. 651 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: iPhone to transfer the MP threes from an external drive 652 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: to the iPhone. There may be a way to drag 653 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: them in there directly from the drive, but I think 654 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: that that is you know, the way Apple's operating system works, 655 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: everything is very it's not like a typical operating system. 656 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: So if you were to drag those files in, yeah, 657 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: you can do that, but they're going to go into 658 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: the files app on your iPhone, which is not ideal. 659 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 7: Right, So. 660 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 2: The way that Apple does. 661 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: Things is slightly different than all the other manufacturers out there. 662 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: So what I'd recommend is there's an app called Walter 663 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: Pro wa l t R Walter Pro And what's great 664 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: about this app is you installed on your computer and 665 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: you can drag and drop pretty much any file that 666 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: you want onto your iPhone and it can do it 667 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: with your iPhone plugged into your computer. You can do 668 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: it wirelessly, but that is the way I'd recommend doing 669 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: it because what this will do is it will put 670 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: the files into the music player, into the native player 671 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: on the iPhone. 672 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 2: So that is what I'd recommend doing. 673 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: And that program, I believe has probably a one time cost, 674 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: but you can try it for free. So if you download, 675 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: it's called Walter waltr Pro. It's from a company called 676 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: soft Reno and I've been using it for years. It 677 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: is fantastic, And what's neat about it is that it 678 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: will convert the files so you don't have to think 679 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: about what the format is that you're putting on your phone. 680 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: So Apple's very particular about the formats that it supports 681 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: natively for the iPhone. So this if you have a PDF, 682 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: you can drop it in there if you have a 683 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: music file, I mean, it really will do anything. And 684 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: if you have like a random file that has like 685 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: a you know, a different format, it will convert that 686 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: into a format that is compatible with your iPhone. So 687 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: it works with pretty much anything you can think of. 688 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: So you can do ring tones, you can do audio books, 689 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: you can do video, you can do just anything. And 690 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: what's great about it is you just drag and drop 691 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,479 Speaker 1: and it will put right in there and you can 692 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: use your your native music player on the iPhone to 693 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: play those files. So again, Walter Pro, I know you 694 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: mentioned free, but and there may be a free alternative, 695 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: but this is the best solution that I've found that's 696 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: super easy and they do a great job. Wa ltr 697 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: pro Walter Pro. So great question, Fernando. I know it's 698 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: Apple just likes to do things their own way and 699 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to find a way around that. It's 700 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: so weird because here it is an iPhone. It's all 701 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: it is is a hard drive, right, and you would 702 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: think that they would build software where you can just 703 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: drag and drop stuff onto that phone. No, or just 704 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: by the way, once you have stuff on that phone, Hey, 705 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: I just want to pull that information off the phone. No, 706 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: you don't realize until you actually need to do these 707 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: things that they're kind of complicated. 708 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: So and Apple did that for a reason. 709 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: They they did it for either protecting you know, the 710 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: file form, you know the files that are copyright protected. 711 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 2: They did it for iTunes with the music stuff. 712 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: So there's reasons for it, and probably a lot of 713 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: it is security as well, but it's just kind of 714 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: like you're like, wait a second, this should be really simple. 715 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: I want to drag a file onto my phone. Oh 716 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: that's tougher than I thought. And I think Apple Music 717 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: used to do that or iTunes used to do it, 718 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 1: but it was also a weird thing where it's like 719 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: a one way street. So Walter pro is going to 720 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: be really easy, and I think you'll you'll really like that. 721 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: Let's see, Okay, we only have a minute. Oh my gosh, Okay, 722 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: I'll do this. I'll save the Google Store Santa Monica 723 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: for the next segment here, but I'll tell you about this. 724 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: If you have an iPhone and you want Google Gemini 725 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: on your lock screen, there are six new lock screen widgets. 726 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: So if you want to do something other than what 727 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: Apple has with the AI stuff and other than what 728 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: chatchibt does. If you like Gemini, you can now get 729 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 1: this on your lock screen. So they got six different 730 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: widgets that you can add. The first is one where 731 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: it brings you instantly to typing, so you can type 732 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: in a question, get an AI answer. The next one 733 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 1: is talking, so it opens up Gemini Live. Then you've 734 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: got a microphone for voice input. That's the one I 735 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: put on there. Camera, you can take a picture, ask 736 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: AI about it. You can share an image, or you 737 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: can share a file. 738 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: Again. 739 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: These are all new widgets in the Google Gemini app 740 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: for iPhone. 741 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 2: If you want to add them to your lock screen. 742 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 2: You are listening to Rich on Tech. 743 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: We got the question about earlier about the best Android 744 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: music app for an Android phone for local files and 745 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: CALLI cardinal Fan writes in on x Pulsar is a 746 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: reasonably good music player for Android. 747 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 2: It is compatible with Android Auto. 748 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: Two ooh, I like that. That's a good point. Make 749 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: sure it's compatible with Android Auto. 750 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 2: So I looked it up. Pulsar Music Player. 751 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: It's got five million downloads, four point six in the ratings. 752 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: And most importantly, and this is always how you want 753 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: to judge an app. By the way, always look at 754 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: the updated on date, because if an app is out 755 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: of update, it's not going to be you know, they're 756 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 1: not it's not actively getting any improvements or updates. So 757 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: this was last update on December eleventh, twenty twenty four, 758 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: which is just fine. So again, if you're looking iOS 759 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: or or Android, always look at that updated on date, 760 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: the last update, because that will give you an idea 761 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: if an app is actively being maintained or if it's 762 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: something that's just still lingering in the store and not 763 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: really getting any active updates. So again, we got a 764 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: lot of suggestions on the best Android music app. So 765 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: we've got YouTube Music Cloud, which I think that's the easiest. 766 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: Just upload your music to YouTube Music. They have a 767 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: free service where you can just upload your MP three'es 768 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: and they'll show up on your phone Samsung Music if 769 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: you have a Samsung phone. And then listeners recommended Double 770 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: Twist and Pulsar. And by the way, if you want 771 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: anything that I talk about, I take very good show notes. 772 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: It's all on the website rich on tech dot tv. 773 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: Definitely while you're there, sign up for a newsletter.

How are you folks doing today? 778 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,479 Speaker 2: I am doing fantastic great. 779 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 8: I'm sitting here watching the Eagles, Eagles and the lists 780 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 8: and Big Bear on my camera. I'm a third monitor 781 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 8: here and it's fantastic. 782 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 9: Oh. 783 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 8: The father's going down and getting the fishing and bring 784 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 8: the fishing up and then mom picked the fish apart 785 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 8: and feeds the three babies. 786 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: People are obsessed with this stuff. It's like a big 787 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: on YouTube. I think it's one big ad for Big Bear. 788 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 2: That's what I think. Because it is it makes you 789 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: want to go there, Yeah for sure. 790 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not too far away, but I don't go 791 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 8: very often. My question is I do consulting and I 792 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 8: go to site, do site visits from time to time. 793 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 8: And I I used to use the live scribe with 794 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 8: the pen and the special paper in the audio system, 795 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 8: which has been good, But what can I use now? 796 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 8: With AI emerging? It helped me do interviews that hadn't 797 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 8: transcribed instantly or virtually. 798 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 2: Oh my, how long are you recording? 799 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 8: Typically not more than an hour, half an hour? I mean, 800 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 8: I get break it up and segments if necessary. 801 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: Okay, well, my favorite favorite favorite app is called Whisper 802 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: Memos w hisp e R Whisper Memos. 803 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 2: Are you on iPhone or Android? 804 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 8: Android? 805 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: Oh okay, hold on, that's different. Okay, so if you're 806 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: on Android, that's a little bit different. So are you 807 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: on Samsung or you on Pixel? 808 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 8: I'm on Samsung, but I also have an iPad. I 809 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 8: usually take an iPad with me. 810 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,959 Speaker 1: Okay, well, well, I think I think the best app 811 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: right now is the Whisper Memos app app. And what 812 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: I love about it is that you record and basically 813 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: it will transcribe using the latest open Ai whisper model, 814 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: which is really good. 815 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 2: There's there's a couple of ways to do it. Do 816 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 2: you need to What kind of computer do you have? 817 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 10: I have a. 818 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 8: Basic number, okay. 819 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: Windows Desktop. I mean there's so many there's so many 820 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: apps that do this. There's another one called letterle L 821 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: E T T E R L Y. Now, for what 822 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: you're doing, I think the service from otter might be 823 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: the best one. 824 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 2: That's for what you're doing. Have you heard of otter 825 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:42,760 Speaker 2: dot ai? 826 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 9: Yes? 827 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so I think for your your purposes that might 828 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: be the best solution. It all depends on do you 829 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: want this to be free? Do you want this to 830 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 1: be free or do you or do you mind paying? 831 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 8: I don't mind paying that. 832 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: I like the time too, yeah exactly, So I mean 833 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: I love free too. So what I do and I 834 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: transcribe every interview I do for TV. So when I 835 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: interview someone, we record it and then I transcribe it. 836 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: And so what I do is I take that audio 837 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: and drop it into an app called mac Whisper and 838 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 1: ma ac Whisper now the equivalent for other There's another 839 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: app called Descript, which I used to use and that 840 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: you can use as well. 841 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 2: Anytime you're doing something for business. 842 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: It's tough to get the free because you're using it 843 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: more than what the free allotment is. Right, So with 844 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: something like descript, you can use it for free, but 845 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 1: as soon as you go over a certain amount, you're 846 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna have to start paying. So it all depends on 847 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: how much you're using this. With built into the phones nowadays, 848 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: they've got so many different options for transcribing. 849 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 2: So you mentioned you have a Samsung, Yes I do. 850 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 2: Do you have the latest one UI on it? 851 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 11: Or no? 852 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 2: Like, do you have the AI features? 853 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 8: Or no, I don't think so. I have the S 854 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 8: twenty two Interim that I hadn't upgrading to AI. 855 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, if you have the S twenty two Ultra, 856 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: that's not going to have the AI because basically at 857 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: this point, the iPhone, the Pixel, and the Samsung they 858 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: all have audio recording on them that also transcribes for free. 859 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 1: So that's another way of doing it. But if you 860 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: got the S twenty two, they just I think they 861 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: just announced the one UI beta. Let's see one UI 862 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 1: seven beta rolls out to more phones. 863 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 2: Let's see. 864 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, see it's going to the S twenty three. Yeah, 865 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: so it's it's not to your phone just yet, but 866 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: that would be a good way to do it. But 867 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's a lot of options out there. 868 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: I think that one of these AI kind of it 869 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: depends if you want your phone to do it one 870 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: hundred percent, if you want your phone to do it 871 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: from start to finish, I'd probably recommend something like otter 872 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: dot AI. If you don't mind taking the file and 873 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: transcribing it later, then I would use something like a descript. 874 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 2: That would probably be the best option there. 875 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: And then you know, there's just there's so many ways 876 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: of doing this, but I think those are probably some 877 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 1: good ways to start doing it. But again, so what 878 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: I do is I get my file, I throw it 879 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: into mac whisper, and then I will use that transcription 880 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: and then toss that into something like a chat GBT 881 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: just to get some key takeaways things like that to 882 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: help me think about crafting my story around that. There 883 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: is a I'm trying to find. There is a transcription. 884 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: Let's see where it is. There is a transcription website 885 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: that I will look up the the url, but I 886 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: shared it. It's a free transcription on like basically any computer, 887 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: so it's hosted on hugging face. I gotta find the 888 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: website though, But that one's pretty cool and I will 889 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: put that in the show notes. Rich on tech dot 890 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: tv is where you can find that. Thanks for the call, 891 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: Ron appreciate it. There are so many It's so funny. 892 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: I went from never ever transcribing my interviews to now 893 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 1: I transcribe everything. In fact, I have a folder inside 894 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: my notes of transcriptions, so anything someone says I can 895 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: go back and just and I record everything. All my 896 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: meetings I take now, like if I go to like 897 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 1: a briefing I will record that on my phone, and 898 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: it's just gotten so incredibly easy to do this process 899 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: of transcribing that it's like, why not just have everything? 900 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, with the later phones, 901 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: the newer phones that handle the AI stuff, it really 902 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,359 Speaker 1: makes it a lot easier because it's built in for free, 903 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: like I said, on the Pixel phones, the latest Samsung phones, 904 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: and of course the iPhones if they support the iOS eighteen, 905 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: it's all right there for free.

But basically what they do is that you 1007 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,279 Speaker 1: connect your bank account to this app and then as 1008 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 1: you get transactions in those accounts, AI will go through 1009 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: and suggest if that's a write off or not, and 1010 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: basically put it into the categories as you go along 1011 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,879 Speaker 1: during the year, and so when it comes to tax time, 1012 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,439 Speaker 1: your taxes are like ninety nine point nine percent done. 1013 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: And then you can either do them yourself and just 1014 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 1: use all the categories and everything that you've already categorized, 1015 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 1: or you can use one of their CPAs to do it. 1016 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 1: And I will tell you with the caveat that the 1017 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 1: CPA seemed to be overseas because I got like a 1018 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: little warning that my tax return was being handled overseas. 1019 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: I think, so, you know, if you're comfortable with that, 1020 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, this is the easiest thing I've 1021 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,319 Speaker 1: ever used in my life. 1022 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 2: And it's so easy. They handle everything, and so you 1023 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 2: go through. 1024 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 1: You have all this stuff on the app, and then 1025 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,240 Speaker 1: the CPA asks you questions, so you'll get all these questions. 1026 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: You just respond with your answers. You send them all 1027 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: your documents if they need it. At the end of 1028 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,800 Speaker 1: the year and they complete it all. And I was 1029 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 1: looking at it today, it was like ninety eight pages, 1030 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,879 Speaker 1: you know, and you sign it all electronically, and it's 1031 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: it's really, really slick, so I think it's incredible and 1032 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 1: it's not that expensive. It's way cheaper than you know. 1033 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 1: I had a CPA do my taxes last year, and 1034 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. It was not a very good experience. 1035 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: I was not very happy and it was very expensive. 1036 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 1: And that's why I went back to the app. Because 1037 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: I did the app the year before it was almost 1038 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:32,960 Speaker 1: too easy. I was like, all right, this is too 1039 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 1: easy and too cheap, like what's the catch? And then 1040 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: I used the CPA and I was like, this is 1041 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: too expensive and way too complicated. And now this year 1042 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:41,800 Speaker 1: I went back to the app and I was just like, 1043 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 1: all right, this is the way it is. It's so easy, 1044 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 1: it's so great, and I love it. Like I can't 1045 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: speak highly enough of this. The pricing, you know, it depends. Okay, 1046 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,840 Speaker 1: they've got three plans. Yeah, so they have a standard 1047 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: plan where if you're just individual then they've got the 1048 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 1: premium and the ultimate. But I'm telling you, oh, the 1049 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 1: other thing is, let's say you have during the year, 1050 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,359 Speaker 1: Let's say you have an expense and you're like, I'm 1051 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:08,879 Speaker 1: not sure if this is even a write off. I'm 1052 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: not even sure if this is deductible. You can flag 1053 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 1: it and your CPA the person they assign they have 1054 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: like all you know, even if you don't have your 1055 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: own CPA, like if you don't pay for that level, 1056 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,760 Speaker 1: they still have a whole bunch of CPAs they employ 1057 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: that just look at these questions all day long and 1058 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,480 Speaker 1: then respond to you. So if you went out to 1059 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 1: lunch with someone in discuss business and you're like, I 1060 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 1: don't know, is this a business expense? You flag that expense, 1061 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 1: it sends it to them. They take a look at 1062 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 1: it and say, oh, yeah, that's categorized under this boom done. 1063 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's really really incredible. It's called flyfinn aiflyfin 1064 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: dot tax is the website. 1065 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 2: I really like it. 1066 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: I tried doing the turbo tax thing, and I think 1067 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 1: that that's probably my second favorite. 1068 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 2: And the reason I like it, I know it's complicated. 1069 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 1: I know they you know, do all the stuff where 1070 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: they fight to make taxes complicated and all that stuff 1071 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: or people say they do. But I like it because 1072 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: they do a lot lot of returns and so it's 1073 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,879 Speaker 1: like their strength in numbers where they've seen a lot 1074 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: of data and so anytime someone's seen a lot of data, 1075 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: I always like kind of like that. But you know, 1076 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, look, going to like 1077 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,320 Speaker 1: a person in your neighborhood is probably the easiest and nicest. 1078 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 2: But for me, you know, I like to do everything online. 1079 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 1: So to me, this worked eight and eight Rich one 1080 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,319 Speaker 1: on one eight eight eight seven four to two four 1081 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 1: one zero one. Coming up, we'll talk misinformation when it 1082 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:27,760 Speaker 1: comes to health on the internet. 1083 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 2: Let's go to uh Sureley in Long Beach.

I would bring 1130 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: this somewhere you can look up on Yelp, like a 1131 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 1: local repair shop, computer repair shop. If the computer is 1132 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,440 Speaker 1: doing what you need it to do when it turns on, 1133 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 1: you know, if it's if it's going to accomplish the 1134 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: tasks you need, then I would just spend a couple, 1135 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 1: you know, a couple bucks on a new battery. It's 1136 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 1: probably HP replacement battery. Let's see how much that would be. 1137 00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,439 Speaker 1: I'm guessing like one hundred and fifty three to maybe 1138 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 1: three hundred bucks, but it all depends, you know, but 1139 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 1: I would. Yeah, I can't find a price on here 1140 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,879 Speaker 1: right now, but that's what I would do. So HP 1141 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:11,839 Speaker 1: has a so you can't get this thing to turn 1142 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 1: on at all. 1143 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 12: It goes on with that like a pretty screen saver, 1144 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 12: and then it says battery is half like done, have you? 1145 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 2: And that's when it's plugged in. 1146 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,840 Speaker 12: When it's been plugged in overnight. I can't set it 1147 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 12: plugged in now just to see what happened. 1148 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 2: Okay, so you've left it. 1149 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like leave it plugged in for 1150 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,320 Speaker 1: a long like longer than you think, and see what 1151 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,200 Speaker 1: happens there. But if it's okay, So if it's if 1152 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,800 Speaker 1: it's been plugged in overnight, which gives it plenty of 1153 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: time to charge that battery, and it's still not turning on, 1154 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 1: there's something going on there.

I don't know if 1215 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 1: anything uh is going on in the background. I do 1216 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 1: know that things sort of happen sometimes that may impact that, 1217 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:57,440 Speaker 1: But in general, can you bring it up through the app. 1218 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:00,160 Speaker 2: Like if okay, so and. 1219 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 3: I will let's see. 1220 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,120 Speaker 2: So it's just a voice. 1221 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 3: Itself in the Sonos app itself, I can't, but. 1222 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 10: You know I could use Wait, why can't you through 1223 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 10: the Sonos app? I don't know it just wouldn't do it, Okay, 1224 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 10: well if you so. 1225 00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 1: If you go into your services on the sonosapp, there 1226 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 1: is an iHeartRadio service and that's kind of like a 1227 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,479 Speaker 1: fool proof way of getting it to play. 1228 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 2: So I would try that. 1229 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: And sometimes these uh, these radio stations are also on 1230 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,320 Speaker 1: that tune in, which also is on iHeart or sorry 1231 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 1: on sons, so I would check for it there as well, 1232 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,960 Speaker 1: But bring those two serface in if something you know, 1233 00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 1: and this, if this continues not working, you might try 1234 00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 1: to disconnect your Alexa from Soos and bring it back, 1235 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,480 Speaker 1: or do a restart of your son No system on 1236 00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,920 Speaker 1: the app, like just say restart your system. But you know, 1237 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,480 Speaker 1: now I'm angry at Sonos right now in general because 1238 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,480 Speaker 1: they have really failed me in the past year of 1239 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 1: their speakers, because I have them in every room and 1240 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 1: they I still can't adjust the volume across all my 1241 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:14,760 Speaker 1: speakers with this new app. 1242 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 2: It's just like it's slow. 1243 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: One of my speakers skips every song, like it just 1244 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 1: it plays half the song and then skips it. So 1245 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 1: Sons and you know, the CEO recently either left the 1246 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 1: company or was pushed out, so they've been going through 1247 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,600 Speaker 1: some issues with their quality control there, so maybe that's 1248 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 1: part of it, but you should be able to play it. 1249 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 2: So I would do those two steps. 1250 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 1: I would disconnect the uh maybe first restart your system, 1251 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 1: see if that helps them. Maybe disconnect the Alexa service, 1252 01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: bring it back on board and see if that helps. 1253 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 1: But I do think all of this is going to 1254 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,840 Speaker 1: get better when Alexa is infused with AI, because I 1255 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: think she's gonna be able to understand what we're trying 1256 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 1: to do a lot better. And even though you just 1257 01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 1: said play KFI, I think you're gonna be able to 1258 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 1: do a lot more with Alexa when it comes to 1259 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,480 Speaker 1: music and streaming and all that stuff once she understands 1260 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 1: sort of natural language commands. 1261 01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 2: But Tom, I you know source subject for me? 1262 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 1: This so no no stuff because they just had the 1263 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,440 Speaker 1: best speakers and service in the world until they decided 1264 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: to redo the app, and then just everything started going 1265 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: wrong after that, and I ended up getting rid of 1266 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 1: my speakers and replacing them with Amazon Echoes, and then 1267 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,320 Speaker 1: that was fine. But I kind of like the grouping 1268 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 1: of the speakers and I like having them everywhere, and 1269 01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 1: I like the app, and they're slowly but surely clawing 1270 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,320 Speaker 1: their way back to a working system again, but it's 1271 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 1: been really, really tricky. Eighty eight Rich one on one 1272 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. 1273 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna try to get our guests coming up to 1274 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 1: talk about medical misinformation.

I mean, like, let's give 1327 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:16,920 Speaker 2: an example. 1328 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 1: Now, this may not be medical, but you know there's 1329 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,479 Speaker 1: a big trend right now of like eating your weight 1330 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 1: in protein every day or something ridiculous like that. So 1331 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean that kind of stuff I feel like started 1332 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 1: on social media and we've seen a million of these trends. 1333 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 1: How do you know what's real what's not? 1334 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 11: You know, there's a couple of things you can do 1335 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,760 Speaker 11: if you're out there and interested in your health. Number One, 1336 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 11: checking the source, Right is this something coming from if 1337 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 11: you're looking for something for your kids? The American Academy 1338 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 11: of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, the American Whatever Association. 1339 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 13: Right, So one looking for who is the source? 1340 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,960 Speaker 11: Keeping in mind there are actually associations out there that 1341 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,840 Speaker 11: are for patients, four people with diabetes, four patients with 1342 01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 11: heart disease. They're always going to be prop gating information 1343 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 11: that is good for the consumer. So that's one two. 1344 01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 13: Looking for inflammatory language, right the always or never. 1345 01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 11: You know, the human body doesn't tend to work in 1346 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 11: extremes and complex scientific things can rarely have a simple 1347 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 11: solution or a hack like eating your weight in protein. Third, 1348 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 11: you have to understand your body is not the same 1349 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 11: as everyone's body. Right, If you've got kidney issues, I 1350 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 11: can tell you that's. 1351 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,720 Speaker 13: A bad plan. So you've got to know your own body. 1352 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:27,760 Speaker 13: You have to know your own health. 1353 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 11: And lastly, rich you've got to have your own doctor 1354 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 11: right when and where you can double check things and 1355 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,640 Speaker 11: actually get personalized information that is for you, relates to 1356 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,440 Speaker 11: your family history and look, I know access is an issue, 1357 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 11: depends if you have health insurance, depends where you are. 1358 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,200 Speaker 11: It can take a while to get an appointment. But 1359 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,440 Speaker 11: there are a lot of online virtual telemedicine services out 1360 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 11: there now. And so if you are feeling like you 1361 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 11: are reading a lot of stuff but you're quite unsure 1362 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 11: of what to do, make that doctor's appointment. It's going 1363 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,000 Speaker 11: to help you make the final decision and also get 1364 01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 11: you information that's just tailored to you. 1365 01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 13: Not just to the general population. 1366 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,360 Speaker 1: It's so wild, and I'll admit this for myself, but 1367 01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, when you have any sort of issue, you're 1368 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: always scared to go to the doctor because you don't 1369 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 1: want to find out what it actually is. But the 1370 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 1: reality is it's probably better to know what it is 1371 01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 1: than to not. 1372 01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 11: Absolutely prevention is always going to be the key medicine. 1373 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,120 Speaker 11: We want you to get the mammogram, the colonoscopy before 1374 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 11: you get breast cancer of colon cancer, so it. 1375 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,640 Speaker 13: Is always wise to know. It can be scary. 1376 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,680 Speaker 11: I agree with that, and I understand that emotion, but 1377 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 11: you know, knowledge is power, and I love that patients 1378 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,000 Speaker 11: want to read. I often exactly what we said. I 1379 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 11: often direct my patients when we make a new diagnosis 1380 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 11: like lupus, ma twitter athritis. I'll say, look, I want 1381 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,440 Speaker 11: you to read everything and come back and ask me 1382 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 11: your questions. But here's the top three sites, here's the 1383 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,400 Speaker 11: top three influencers that I follow, And so don't be 1384 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 11: afraid to have that conversation too with your doc, which 1385 01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 11: is where should I be reading, what should I be 1386 01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 11: aware of? And one more Tipperach, if they're selling something, 1387 01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,560 Speaker 11: if they're selling you a supplement, if they're selling you 1388 01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 11: something for just nine to ninety nine or click here 1389 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 11: for this subscription, that's often a really big red flag 1390 01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 11: because doctors are never going. 1391 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 13: To ask you to do that. 1392 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,920 Speaker 1: Interesting, what do you think about chat GBT? And like, 1393 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, AI is now kind of replacing the Google search. 1394 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,080 Speaker 1: I know that I've uploaded some of my medical records 1395 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 1: when you can tell me if I'm wrong for doing that. 1396 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,640 Speaker 1: But it's like kind of fascinating you think you're getting 1397 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 1: like this analysis, this expert analysis. 1398 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,080 Speaker 13: Well, look again, I think knowledge is power. 1399 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,760 Speaker 11: I love that people are more and more curious about 1400 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,880 Speaker 11: the human body, and I think that's terrific. 1401 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,720 Speaker 13: But again, chat GBT is a great source, Like ninety 1402 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 13: percent of the time, the truth is we still don't know. 1403 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,600 Speaker 11: And again remember it's only as good as the information 1404 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 11: you give it, right, So I don't know if you 1405 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 11: uploaded your whole medical record. I don't know if they 1406 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,400 Speaker 11: if you uploaded what has most recently changed. So being 1407 01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,360 Speaker 11: mindful that so much of AI is dependent on the data, 1408 01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 11: and that we in healthcare have lots of gaps and 1409 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,800 Speaker 11: data Doctors don't share information. Hospitals don't share information, so 1410 01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 11: you have to be mindful that it's not a silver bullet. 1411 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 11: Right again, there is no real quick, easy button solution. 1412 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 11: I think it's great to be curious. I encourage anyone 1413 01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 11: to read scientific sites, to follow actual doctors with licenses. 1414 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 11: Because here's the other thing rich, right, there's entertainment. There 1415 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 11: are entertainers out there that are making millions of dollars 1416 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,880 Speaker 11: off of propagating this and disinformation, but they're not accountable 1417 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,679 Speaker 11: the way that physicians nurses are accountable. 1418 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 13: If I give you bad advice, I can lose my license. 1419 01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,599 Speaker 11: So there is an incentive to be on the side 1420 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 11: of the consumer, which is very different from entertainment. 1421 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,840 Speaker 1: That is such a good point, and I do back 1422 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:41,240 Speaker 1: to your point about the medical history not being shared. 1423 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,760 Speaker 1: That has got to be the most frustrating thing as 1424 01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,719 Speaker 1: a patient. That for me, like I would just imagine 1425 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,719 Speaker 1: that somehow in AI and this will happen in the future, 1426 01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,240 Speaker 1: would have everything for my birth up until now in 1427 01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 1: a file, and that way you can see patterns, you 1428 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,559 Speaker 1: can see things emerging, and I'm waiting for that day 1429 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,120 Speaker 1: and I know we're working on it, but it is 1430 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 1: a very slow process. All right, doctor G. What's the 1431 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 1: best way for folks to find you online? 1432 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 4: Oh? 1433 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 13: Thanks, rich I'm everywhere. 1434 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,240 Speaker 11: I'm on Instagram, I'm on LinkedIn, I'm on x I'm 1435 01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,920 Speaker 11: easy to find me, genayor and I look forward to 1436 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:15,520 Speaker 11: continue the conversation. 1437 01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 13: With you and your viewers. 1438 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:17,840 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, and I'll link you up on 1439 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:21,639 Speaker 1: my website rich on tech dot TV.

Eight bucks 1443 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,920 Speaker 1: a month gets you add free viewing, but there are 1444 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 1: some catches here, so it's cheaper than the full fourteen 1445 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:38,599 Speaker 1: dollars a month for the premium plan. 1446 01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:40,240 Speaker 2: So what do you not get? 1447 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 1: Well, you get ad free videos on most YouTube and 1448 01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 1: YouTube kids content that's mostly from creators. What it doesn't include, 1449 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,840 Speaker 1: you'll still see ads on music content shorts obviously that's 1450 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 1: the biggest growing area of videos. So that's kind of 1451 01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 1: a bummer and your search results. Plus, there's no YouTube 1452 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,360 Speaker 1: music premium access, which means you can't download the YouTube 1453 01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,639 Speaker 1: music and get the free music there or add free music. 1454 01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 1: There's no background play, so your videos will stop if 1455 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,479 Speaker 1: you switch out of the YouTube app, and there's no 1456 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 1: offline downloads, so you have to have an internet connection 1457 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 1: to watch. 1458 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,280 Speaker 2: But if you just want to watch. 1459 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 1: Your favorite videos from creators and you want no ads, 1460 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 1: eight bucks a month is a lot cheaper than thirteen 1461 01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:21,599 Speaker 1: ninety nine. 1462 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 2: And I should mention this. 1463 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if everyone's aware of this, but when 1464 01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 1: you subscribe to things, how you subscribe determines how much 1465 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,919 Speaker 1: you pay. So, for instance, if you go into YouTube 1466 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,160 Speaker 1: the app on the iPhone and you go to subscribe 1467 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,720 Speaker 1: to YouTube Premium, you're gonna pay like eighteen bucks a 1468 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,840 Speaker 1: month for that. If you go to subscribe on Android, 1469 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,639 Speaker 1: you're gonna pay thirteen ninety nine. The reason Apple takes 1470 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,760 Speaker 1: a thirty percent cut of the fee that you pay 1471 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 1: every month to these services, and so a lot of 1472 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 1: times those services will make their prices higher on the iPhone. 1473 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,960 Speaker 1: But people on the iPhone are nonetherwiser because you wouldn't 1474 01:10:58,960 --> 01:10:59,760 Speaker 1: necessarily think to. 1475 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 2: Go to the YouTube dot com website to subscribe. 1476 01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,320 Speaker 1: You're on your phone and so you're subscribing there, and 1477 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 1: so people on the iPhone, and it's also easier because 1478 01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 1: you've got your payment methods saved and you can cancel 1479 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,800 Speaker 1: the subscription and re sign up and all that stuff, 1480 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,800 Speaker 1: But just be aware that the cheapest way to subscribe 1481 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 1: to any service that you're subscribing to may be the 1482 01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,680 Speaker 1: website directly on a desktop computer. Just remember that the 1483 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 1: next time you want to subscribe to something. Let's go 1484 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:26,080 Speaker 1: to Jim and Malibu. 1485 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:27,160 Speaker 2: Jim, you're on with Rich. 1486 01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:30,920 Speaker 9: Hi, Rich, thank you for taking my call. The question 1487 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:36,800 Speaker 9: involves how to expand my network outdoors. I have a 1488 01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,839 Speaker 9: large piece of property about one and a half acres, 1489 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:45,040 Speaker 9: and I have an old house with a lot of 1490 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:49,719 Speaker 9: last and plaster walls. So the Wi Fi MISH signal 1491 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,640 Speaker 9: that I have in the house is very limited. It 1492 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,800 Speaker 9: only goes maybe twenty feet past the walls of the house. 1493 01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 9: So what kind of solution should I be looking at 1494 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,439 Speaker 9: to try and cover all the way to my front gate, 1495 01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:10,320 Speaker 9: which is sixty feet or seventy feet from the house, 1496 01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 9: down to my workshop which is about one hundred and 1497 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:17,599 Speaker 9: fifty feet from the house. 1498 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:18,960 Speaker 2: Did you say you're in Malibu? 1499 01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:20,439 Speaker 9: Yes? Oh? 1500 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:21,519 Speaker 8: Are you? Were? 1501 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:21,600 Speaker 10: You? 1502 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,720 Speaker 2: Are you okay? From the fires? Did that affect you 1503 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:24,040 Speaker 2: at all? 1504 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 8: Not this time? 1505 01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 2: Okay, not this time? 1506 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:27,680 Speaker 6: I know you. 1507 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,120 Speaker 1: Not just one Yeah, it's been it's been really Uh 1508 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 1: my my thoughts are with everyone in Malibu and the Palisades. 1509 01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:38,920 Speaker 2: And all these areas they eat in area here. 1510 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,760 Speaker 1: It's just it's been really really people think because it's 1511 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,719 Speaker 1: not on their local news or their nightly news outside 1512 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:51,040 Speaker 1: of La on a daily basis, but there are issues 1513 01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:54,200 Speaker 1: every single day with these people that were affected by this, 1514 01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 1: Like people are still replaced, displaced in a huge way. 1515 01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,880 Speaker 1: People are still all over the city when they should 1516 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:05,920 Speaker 1: be at home. It's just people lost so much stuff. 1517 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's really a problem. And I know it 1518 01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,439 Speaker 1: because my wife works a lot of the people that 1519 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:14,559 Speaker 1: lost a lot and they are rebuilding and it's very, 1520 01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:15,439 Speaker 1: very slow. 1521 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:17,439 Speaker 2: It is not an easy process. 1522 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:21,599 Speaker 1: So anyway to your question, I think that you need 1523 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 1: to get outdoor and out a mesh system that supports 1524 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 1: an outdoor access point. So there are two notable systems 1525 01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,600 Speaker 1: that have outdoor access points. This is not going to 1526 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:36,920 Speaker 1: be cheap, but Jim, you know, this is going to 1527 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,879 Speaker 1: solve your problem and it's going to make your WiFi 1528 01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 1: actually usable outside. But it's not going to be cheap, 1529 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 1: but you know that's that's what you get if you 1530 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,040 Speaker 1: want to have this Wi Fi in these various areas, 1531 01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,080 Speaker 1: You've got to get a system that's gonna be able 1532 01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 1: to handle what you have. And so the two systems 1533 01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,680 Speaker 1: that I would recommend Eero that's obviously my favorite. And 1534 01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:59,479 Speaker 1: this may require that you have to get a whole 1535 01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,799 Speaker 1: new system because these mesh networking systems do not interact 1536 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:06,840 Speaker 1: with each other. So if you already have one you 1537 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,160 Speaker 1: mentioned that you did this, this other one is not 1538 01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:10,760 Speaker 1: going to play nice with that, so you're gonna have 1539 01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,080 Speaker 1: to probably replace them all. But the good news is 1540 01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:14,840 Speaker 1: you do this once. It's gonna last for a while. 1541 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 1: But Euroo has an outdoor access point. It's three hundred 1542 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,400 Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars. You could probably get it on sale. 1543 01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,000 Speaker 1: The usually euro stuff goes on sale a couple times 1544 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:26,840 Speaker 1: a year, so I would watch for a sale on 1545 01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,800 Speaker 1: this and you know, just do a price alert. But 1546 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,920 Speaker 1: that is going to cover you outside. This is Wi 1547 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 1: Fi seven, so it's going to have, you know, a 1548 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,280 Speaker 1: stronger signal, a better signal, it's going to get through 1549 01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,920 Speaker 1: more of the stuff that you have out there, and 1550 01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,080 Speaker 1: it's going to work with any eurosystem that you have existing. 1551 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:46,519 Speaker 1: So if you want to get one for your house, 1552 01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:49,920 Speaker 1: this will be compatible with that, and you can mount 1553 01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:53,040 Speaker 1: it outside and one of these may solve all of 1554 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,880 Speaker 1: your problems. So a one pack is three ninety nine 1555 01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,280 Speaker 1: and a two pack is six seventy nine. And they're 1556 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:04,759 Speaker 1: saying that will Wi Fi coverage per device is fifteen 1557 01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:09,759 Speaker 1: thousand square feet of outdoor coverage, so hopefully that should 1558 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,920 Speaker 1: support what you need on this area, and you may able. 1559 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 1: What you would do is you would just mount this 1560 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,640 Speaker 1: outside your house and then that signal hopefully would go 1561 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:20,320 Speaker 1: to where your gate was where you said that was 1562 01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 1: six sixty feet away, and then the back house where 1563 01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,719 Speaker 1: you've got the uh the work area that you mentioned, 1564 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 1: that would hopefully go there as well. So that's number one. 1565 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,040 Speaker 1: The other one is TP Link and they've got a 1566 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:39,120 Speaker 1: system called Deco Deco and they've got an outdoor system 1567 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:43,720 Speaker 1: as well. Now this is a whole home mesh Wi 1568 01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 1: Fi six unit. So does this come with six units? 1569 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:51,880 Speaker 1: Oh no, this is I think Wi Fi six, Sorry 1570 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,720 Speaker 1: Wi Fi six, not six units. Okay, So this one 1571 01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:01,200 Speaker 1: similar thing you've got. Let's see here. You can mount 1572 01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,679 Speaker 1: it on a tabletop, a wall mount, or a pole mount. 1573 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: It's outdoor certified, so waterproof and dustproof you can power 1574 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 1: it over Ethernet, so that means you can have your 1575 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 1: data connection and your electric power with a single cable. 1576 01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,639 Speaker 1: Now this one, you may be able to just connect 1577 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,760 Speaker 1: one outside and just use a separate network for your 1578 01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: outdoor stuff if you want to do that, and I 1579 01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,599 Speaker 1: guess you could do that with the Eero two. Personally, 1580 01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,639 Speaker 1: I wouldn't like having two different networks at my house. 1581 01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:28,920 Speaker 1: But if you want to keep the network that you 1582 01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 1: already have and just install something outside, you can just 1583 01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,720 Speaker 1: run an Ethernet cable to this and boom, you've got it. 1584 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,360 Speaker 1: And let's see this covers up to this as it 1585 01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 1: covers up to twenty five hundred feet, so it might 1586 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 1: be less. Yeah, this is one twenty five hundred feet outdoors, 1587 01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 1: so you might need more. You might need two of these, 1588 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,320 Speaker 1: but what you can do is put one on one 1589 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,439 Speaker 1: side of your house, one on the other side, and 1590 01:16:55,880 --> 01:17:00,240 Speaker 1: those should extend the Wi Fi to your outdoor that 1591 01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,280 Speaker 1: you need outdoors, which you said your fence and then 1592 01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:05,040 Speaker 1: also your workshop. But those are the two that i'd recommend. 1593 01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:06,000 Speaker 2: Tp Link. 1594 01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:10,800 Speaker 1: You know that they've been they're very popular company. I 1595 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,479 Speaker 1: know they're out of China, so there's been some issues 1596 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:17,280 Speaker 1: with the government talking about them and and worried about, 1597 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, the privacy and security of those. But I 1598 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 1: have yet to see anything new on that ever since 1599 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:26,120 Speaker 1: the government first mentioned something on it. But I use 1600 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,400 Speaker 1: TP link stuff in my home. It's a very popular product, 1601 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,760 Speaker 1: so I think you can probably use it with you know, 1602 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 1: as long as you make sure you have a private 1603 01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:37,519 Speaker 1: a good password, and use your name on there for 1604 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 1: your network, you should be okay.

So now they've 1626 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:48,200 Speaker 1: got their AI assisted answers in search. They say it 1627 01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,520 Speaker 1: pulls from a wider range of sources beyond just Wikipedia, 1628 01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,559 Speaker 1: which it did in the past. And then they've got 1629 01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:58,519 Speaker 1: a website Duck dot ai, so Duck dot ai. And 1630 01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:00,759 Speaker 1: what's neat about this is that if you've been wanting 1631 01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:05,040 Speaker 1: to try the various AI chatbots out there, you can 1632 01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:09,639 Speaker 1: without any tracking, without any logins, and you can access 1633 01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 1: let's see here, they've got chat ebt's model on here, 1634 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,680 Speaker 1: they've got a meta model, they've got anthropics on there 1635 01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 1: which is clawed so and they also have Mistral, which 1636 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 1: is the one out of Paris. So you can pick 1637 01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 1: a chat model and use it without them, you know, 1638 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 1: without logging in and without them logging anything. So they 1639 01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,000 Speaker 1: don't store your chat history on their servers. Everything's done 1640 01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 1: locally on your device. So if you've been wanting to 1641 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:38,960 Speaker 1: try this stuff out, go to a duck Dot AI 1642 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,800 Speaker 1: and there you go. Privacy remains their top priority, they said. Now, 1643 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 1: if you have the Duck Duck Go search engine, I 1644 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 1: know a lot of folks have switched to this for 1645 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:53,479 Speaker 1: privacy reasons. You can have AI answers in your search engine. 1646 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,920 Speaker 1: But now you can customize how often those answers appear 1647 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:00,719 Speaker 1: in your search results, or you can turn those off completely. 1648 01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:05,479 Speaker 1: So again, not a bad way to go. Now, I noticed, 1649 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, in the past, when people have asked me 1650 01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:10,720 Speaker 1: about Duck Duck Go, I've said I wasn't a fan 1651 01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:15,320 Speaker 1: of their their search results, like I said, you know, 1652 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,320 Speaker 1: it's it's fine, but like Google's better. Well they must 1653 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,320 Speaker 1: have heard me, because they said, we have improved our 1654 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,439 Speaker 1: search results. So if you haven't tried them in a while, 1655 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:26,519 Speaker 1: go ahead give us another shot. And so yeah, I mean, 1656 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:28,280 Speaker 1: if you want to use Duck duck Go, go ahead, 1657 01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:29,759 Speaker 1: no pun intended. 1658 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:31,479 Speaker 2: Let's see here. 1659 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to go to Duck Duck Go privacy peace 1660 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 1: of mind, and let's do a search here and let's 1661 01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,639 Speaker 1: see what the results look like. Yeah, I mean, you know, look, 1662 01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:43,599 Speaker 1: it's you know, some of their stuff comes from MSN, 1663 01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 1: so it just depends. I mean, look, I still think 1664 01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:49,120 Speaker 1: that Google is probably going to have the best search 1665 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 1: results because it's Google. I mean, they've have like a 1666 01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:55,200 Speaker 1: seventy percent market share or maybe even more, but it's 1667 01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:55,600 Speaker 1: probably more. 1668 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 2: It's probably like eighty six percent. Who am I kidding? 1669 01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,040 Speaker 1: But you know, if you want to if you want 1670 01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,000 Speaker 1: something that's a little bit more, I understand. As soon 1671 01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 1: as you search something in Google, it's going to show 1672 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,920 Speaker 1: up all across your everything, because that's the way it is. 1673 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:11,200 Speaker 1: Let's see here, oh pixel Speaking of Google, if you 1674 01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:13,720 Speaker 1: have a pixel phone, you got a whole bunch of 1675 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,639 Speaker 1: new features. So they do these things called pixel drops 1676 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 1: every so often. It used to be like once a month. 1677 01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:21,160 Speaker 1: Now they just do them whenever they've got a new one. 1678 01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:23,439 Speaker 1: But a whole bunch of new features if you have 1679 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,400 Speaker 1: a pixel phone, so definitely do that. Software update first off, 1680 01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 1: Gemini Live. This is their AI now supports forty five 1681 01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:33,680 Speaker 1: languages without changing any settings. How wild is that You 1682 01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 1: could just literally start chatting with this thing in all 1683 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,040 Speaker 1: different languages and it will figure out what you're saying 1684 01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:43,439 Speaker 1: and respond. That's incredible. Now, it's got AI powered scam detection. 1685 01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:45,760 Speaker 1: You know, earlier I was talking about that tip to 1686 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, get rid of the scam calls on your phone. Well, 1687 01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:54,560 Speaker 1: this actually has scam detection, so it literally listens to 1688 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,280 Speaker 1: your phone call on the device, so it's private, and 1689 01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,920 Speaker 1: it uses AI to detect if there's a fraudulent call 1690 01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,560 Speaker 1: or text in real time. So what it's doing is 1691 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,519 Speaker 1: it's listening for someone to say, hey, I've got some 1692 01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,559 Speaker 1: great crypto you should purchase, or I love you, please 1693 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:14,439 Speaker 1: send me crypto, And next thing you know, the pixel 1694 01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,600 Speaker 1: will jump in and say, hey, we think this is 1695 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:20,360 Speaker 1: a scam. So that's pretty interesting. I have not tested 1696 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,680 Speaker 1: that feature, but I don't even know how I test it. 1697 01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,160 Speaker 1: I guess I can do a phone call with someone 1698 01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,240 Speaker 1: and then have them start Adam, you should do that. 1699 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,519 Speaker 1: You should call me and say like, I love you, 1700 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,120 Speaker 1: here's some crypto I need you to buy. Get me 1701 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,000 Speaker 1: a plane ticket please, I want to come meet you. 1702 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,879 Speaker 2: That sounded weird. Satellite SOS they're. 1703 01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:43,160 Speaker 1: Expanding now now available in Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, and Canada, 1704 01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,280 Speaker 1: so that means you can stay connected to emergency services 1705 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 1: without cell phone, without cell service or Wi Fi just 1706 01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:51,479 Speaker 1: think about that for a second. You can now travel 1707 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,759 Speaker 1: with this pixel phone anywhere in the US, in Hawaii, 1708 01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:58,759 Speaker 1: in Alaska, in Europe, in Canada, and if there's an issue, 1709 01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,160 Speaker 1: if you are somewhere without a cell's you can still 1710 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 1: get help. That is incredible that we have that feature 1711 01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:07,960 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. I am amazed at that Verizon 1712 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,720 Speaker 1: and T Mobile customers have additional text via satellite for 1713 01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 1: Verizon for emergencies, T Mobile users can text nine one 1714 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:16,800 Speaker 1: one over satellite as well. 1715 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:18,639 Speaker 2: Let's see what else. 1716 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 1: Pixel Watch now detect non traditional movement like pushing a stroller, 1717 01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 1: using a wheelchair, or hiking with poles, so more accurate 1718 01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,200 Speaker 1: activity tracking there. And then the g board, you know 1719 01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,120 Speaker 1: this is your your typing, your keyboard. It got a 1720 01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,320 Speaker 1: new voice toolbar, so if you want to see more 1721 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,160 Speaker 1: of your screen while your voice to text, you can 1722 01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 1: minimize the typing the keyboard and just still do voice 1723 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:43,920 Speaker 1: to text. So if you want to see your whole 1724 01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,600 Speaker 1: screen while doing voice to text, you can do that 1725 01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:50,519 Speaker 1: as well. Rolling out to pixel devices right now, so 1726 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,720 Speaker 1: if you have a pixel definitely do that softwareupdate. Those 1727 01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,519 Speaker 1: things just get better every day. And T Mobile, if 1728 01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:57,880 Speaker 1: you have a T Mobile. If you're a T mobile customer, 1729 01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 1: you know they have this thing called T Mobile Tuesday. 1730 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,960 Speaker 1: They've had it since twenty sixteen. Their latest perk is 1731 01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:08,280 Speaker 1: one free slurpy every month, so you can go to 1732 01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,719 Speaker 1: a seven to eleven or a Speedway. Who knew Speedway 1733 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 1: is owned by seven eleven. I guess now we know. 1734 01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,200 Speaker 1: You got to claim the perk through the T mobile 1735 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,439 Speaker 1: the Tea Life app, and it's available not just once, 1736 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 1: but this is an ongoing thing. It's already started, so 1737 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: I guess. I guess what you do is you claim 1738 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:28,960 Speaker 1: it in the app and then you can just use 1739 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:30,880 Speaker 1: it at the store. And by the way, you can 1740 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,880 Speaker 1: pick from a small, medium, or large slurpee. So you know, 1741 01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,640 Speaker 1: if you're a T mobile customer, it's funny because Verizon's 1742 01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 1: got something similar. If you look in your Verizon app, 1743 01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,559 Speaker 1: they've got something called like my Offers or something Verizon 1744 01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,120 Speaker 1: has similar to this. It's not as like Robust, but 1745 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:47,920 Speaker 1: they do have some offers in there, so check it out, 1746 01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:51,760 Speaker 1: especially for concert tickets. AT and T tried something called 1747 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,360 Speaker 1: at and T Thanks, they gave up on it, but 1748 01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 1: T mobile is still going strong. Like you get some 1749 01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,479 Speaker 1: good benefits if you're a T mobile customer. So now 1750 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,559 Speaker 1: you can have a slurpee. I know my kids would 1751 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,320 Speaker 1: be excited about that.

What do you think the biggest change 1772 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,759 Speaker 1: has been in those ten years since when you started 1773 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: doing this, Man. 1774 01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,240 Speaker 13: Honestly, not a lot. 1775 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,800 Speaker 14: I just spoke to some kids probably about a month ago, 1776 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,840 Speaker 14: and the same issues that I was seeing way back 1777 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,640 Speaker 14: when are the same issues that we're having right now. 1778 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,320 Speaker 15: And it really, you know, I had to sort of 1779 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:32,479 Speaker 15: amend what I say to parents because. 1780 01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,960 Speaker 14: They always want me to tell them like what apps 1781 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 14: specifically not to be on, or or what tool to 1782 01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:39,920 Speaker 14: download to monitor their kids. 1783 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:43,639 Speaker 15: And I'm like, the tech kind of almost doesn't matter 1784 01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,000 Speaker 15: in a sense. It's really just the nature of the 1785 01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,400 Speaker 15: Internet and the way it behaves and the way you 1786 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:50,640 Speaker 15: respond to it. 1787 01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:53,080 Speaker 14: You know, the Internet doesn't have anything to do with 1788 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,240 Speaker 14: whether or not somebody's a good person, you know. 1789 01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,519 Speaker 15: So it really does sort of boil down to what 1790 01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:00,000 Speaker 15: you're teaching. 1791 01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:03,599 Speaker 14: Your kids about how to engage with other people, whether 1792 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:05,439 Speaker 14: it's online or in real life. 1793 01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 1: So, what are some of the biggest risks parents should 1794 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:09,720 Speaker 1: be aware of when it comes to their kids and 1795 01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:10,519 Speaker 1: social media. 1796 01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 14: Well, I think the first the biggest thing is the 1797 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:16,640 Speaker 14: lack of age verification. They're still to this day is 1798 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 14: no way to know who the person you're talking to 1799 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 14: on the other end of that Internet is so you know, 1800 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,519 Speaker 14: I have kids all the time that think, you know, well, 1801 01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:27,600 Speaker 14: I can just get them to FaceTime me, or I 1802 01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:32,560 Speaker 14: can just ask them. There is no way, no legitimate 1803 01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:37,680 Speaker 14: way beyond some type of serious age verification with IDs 1804 01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,439 Speaker 14: and Social Security numbers and whatever to really know for 1805 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,320 Speaker 14: certain unless you know that person already in real life. 1806 01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:46,880 Speaker 14: There really isn't a way to know that you're talking 1807 01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,680 Speaker 14: to somebody on the other end of that Internet that 1808 01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 14: is your age. 1809 01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:51,599 Speaker 15: That's not an adult. 1810 01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,840 Speaker 14: And I think, you know, you talk about current trends 1811 01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,639 Speaker 14: that are different from ten years ago. I think we're 1812 01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,439 Speaker 14: going to start to see a lot more sort of 1813 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:06,280 Speaker 14: problem in streaming. It just leaves itself open to so 1814 01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,720 Speaker 14: much because it's live, because you don't really get a 1815 01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,679 Speaker 14: chance to think about the things that you're doing while 1816 01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,400 Speaker 14: you're streaming, and you don't get to think about those consequences. 1817 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:17,240 Speaker 14: So I think we're going to start to see because 1818 01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:19,800 Speaker 14: we already saw a little problem with some grooming that 1819 01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 14: was happening with with alleged let me put it that way, 1820 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,840 Speaker 14: grooming that was happening recently on Twitch. 1821 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 15: So yeah, streaming is gonna be a situation for parents. 1822 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's kids don't realize that this 1823 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,719 Speaker 1: stuff is permanent. Like you're live streaming, you say something 1824 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,560 Speaker 1: off the cuff and know it's still there after you, 1825 01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, are done live streaming. And same thing with 1826 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,639 Speaker 1: like even Snapchat. I know it's so popular because it's 1827 01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 1: quote unquote disappears exactly. 1828 01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:48,439 Speaker 2: It does not. 1829 01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,400 Speaker 15: It does not, and they don't think about that. And 1830 01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:53,840 Speaker 15: that's why I say, like, not a lot. 1831 01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:57,200 Speaker 14: Has changed because because young people don't really think past 1832 01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:00,560 Speaker 14: the post. They you know, do what they do to 1833 01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,600 Speaker 14: get the clicks and the likes or the engagement, and 1834 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:05,760 Speaker 14: they're not really thinking about that, and they're not really 1835 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:06,640 Speaker 14: thinking about. 1836 01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:07,920 Speaker 15: The broader internet. 1837 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:08,240 Speaker 8: Right. 1838 01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 14: They may only have one hundred friends or one hundred 1839 01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:14,320 Speaker 14: and fifty friends that follow them and that they follow back, 1840 01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,960 Speaker 14: so they think that what they do is always going 1841 01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:20,640 Speaker 14: to be contained to that small group and it's not 1842 01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:24,599 Speaker 14: the possibility for things to go viral. Happen every single 1843 01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,080 Speaker 14: day online and it can happen with you know, your 1844 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:27,720 Speaker 14: kid as well. 1845 01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 2: Ah, that's so true. 1846 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,960 Speaker 1: That's such a good point that people just think of 1847 01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:33,360 Speaker 1: their audience like, oh, this is just my friends. Oh no, 1848 01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 1: just one screenshot away from that going anywhere in the world. 1849 01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,200 Speaker 1: So do you recommend any tools or apps from monitoring 1850 01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,440 Speaker 1: or managing, like, do you have some recommendations? 1851 01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:47,640 Speaker 15: I do like Bark. Bark is super comprehensive. 1852 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:50,519 Speaker 14: It's one of the best tools out there because it's 1853 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:54,799 Speaker 14: actually looking for sort of nuance in emails and text messages, 1854 01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:56,480 Speaker 14: suicidal ideation. 1855 01:29:56,640 --> 01:30:01,320 Speaker 15: You know keywords website blocking, blocking and you know. 1856 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:04,400 Speaker 14: So Bark I think is one of those ones that 1857 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:07,080 Speaker 14: really could help because it is so comprehensive. 1858 01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:10,479 Speaker 1: And you talk about parents, you know, teaching their kids. 1859 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 1: What should parents be teaching their kids is it? Is 1860 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,960 Speaker 1: it the non ephemeral aspect of this stuff that you 1861 01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:17,679 Speaker 1: think it's going to go away and it doesn't. 1862 01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 15: That's one of the most important things. 1863 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,840 Speaker 14: One of the things that I found that really resonates 1864 01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:25,080 Speaker 14: with young people when I go into schools to talk 1865 01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:28,000 Speaker 14: about them is to think like a brand and not 1866 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:30,280 Speaker 14: instead of thinking like a man, think like a brand 1867 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:34,920 Speaker 14: and think about, you know, what you're putting out there 1868 01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:38,840 Speaker 14: into that digital space and how it represents you in 1869 01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,760 Speaker 14: the same way. You know, brands like Nike have to 1870 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,519 Speaker 14: think about colors and logos and things like that. We 1871 01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:47,720 Speaker 14: have that same thing in our personal brand that we 1872 01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,160 Speaker 14: need to be thinking about. And that really does tend 1873 01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 14: to resonate with kids because now it gives them a 1874 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,919 Speaker 14: little bit of ownership right of what they do online 1875 01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:57,160 Speaker 14: and how they might be perceived and how they might 1876 01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:58,800 Speaker 14: do damage to that brand. 1877 01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:01,800 Speaker 15: So we always start to comversation there with personal brand. 1878 01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:04,479 Speaker 2: And what are some of the questions you get from kids? 1879 01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:06,559 Speaker 1: Like what are some of like the kickbacks you get 1880 01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,160 Speaker 1: from them, like are they're like, come on, does this 1881 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,440 Speaker 1: really matter what I say on you know, Instagram. 1882 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 14: Once once we have that conversation and put it in 1883 01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:20,200 Speaker 14: that perspective, it shifts the entire conversation. It really really does, 1884 01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:22,160 Speaker 14: And now they want to know, oh my god, my brand, 1885 01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:23,680 Speaker 14: you know, because kids these days they all want to 1886 01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:26,760 Speaker 14: be influencers and different things like that.

And they say that the best 2036 01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:44,679 Speaker 1: way to deal with the change is to prioritize sleep. 2037 01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:48,880 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that prioritize sleep. You know, 2038 01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,439 Speaker 1: that's their deal. They just like to sleep.

My son has a pacemaker and 2059 01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,040 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent pacemaker dependent. Mag Safe devices can 2060 01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,280 Speaker 1: interfere with pacemakers, so he was limited to using an 2061 01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:55,320 Speaker 1: iPhone eleven. Now, with the iPhone sixteen E, he can 2062 01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:58,599 Speaker 1: upgrade without worrying about mag safe while still getting all 2063 01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:00,960 Speaker 1: the latest features he's I had to finally have a 2064 01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:03,559 Speaker 1: newer iPhone.

Eric from Marana Arizona writes 2072 01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:25,439 Speaker 1: in you miss Jeff's issue with nord pass in your 2073 01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:28,840 Speaker 1: last podcast. He was going to a website login page, 2074 01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:32,120 Speaker 1: entering his username and then nord pass generated a password, 2075 01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,960 Speaker 1: expecting nord pass to inform the website of the new password. 2076 01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:37,839 Speaker 1: Since the site already had a stored password, the generated 2077 01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,719 Speaker 1: one wouldn't work, he needs to log in first as usual, 2078 01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,240 Speaker 1: then nord pass will ask if he wants to save 2079 01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:45,840 Speaker 1: that password. The password generator should only be used for 2080 01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:49,800 Speaker 1: setting up a new account or when resetting a password. Well, 2081 01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,360 Speaker 1: now I'm confused again. Maybe that's why I didn't understand 2082 01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:53,200 Speaker 1: the question the first time. 2083 01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:55,439 Speaker 2: Let's see. 2084 01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:57,280 Speaker 1: Bob writes in I was listening to your radio show 2085 01:40:57,320 --> 01:40:59,879 Speaker 1: and thought, wow, he is really good.
