1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Apple sets a date for its next big event. Facebook

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: makes smart sunglasses that actually look pretty good. Amazon has

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: new smart TVs. Plus your tech questions Answered. What's going on?

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place where I

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: answer the questions you send me. I'm the tech reporter

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. This show is

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: geared towards the tech. Well, how do I explain? It's

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: it's consumer tech, so you know, obviously it appeals to

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: people that are that are super into tech because they

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 1: want to hear how I answer these questions, and they

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: want to, you know, maybe pick up a thing or

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: two that maybe they don't even know about. But the

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: average person can listen to the show and really learned something,

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: and that's that's kind of always been the charge of

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: the show. I'm on TV in Los Angeles and other

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: cities around the nation, and so I get a lot

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: of emails from people. You know, it's just seeing me

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: on TV and saying, Hey, I'm gonna ask this random

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: dude a question about technology, and then they get really

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: surprised when I send them back an answer and that

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: becomes this podcast, and so it's a lot of fun.

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the questions are very much

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: similar that I get. I see the same ones over

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: the years, you know, dealing with Wi Fi, dealing with

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: account hacking, dealing with iPhone upgrades, dealing with iPhone versus Android,

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: dealing with the best cheap smartphone. So there's a lot

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: of like recurring themes that I get, which is but

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people have, you know, even though their

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: situation is unique, it does, I guess, translate to a

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: lot of different people out there that are listening. So

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: that's the purpose of the show. Thanks for tuning in.

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: I've talked about this before, but more and more of

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: you are listening, which is really really nice, So thank

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: you for that. It feels good. It feels good to

37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: know that people like this show they continue to listen

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: to it. And let's just get into the first big

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: story of the week. California. California Apple announced their special

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: event is happening on Tuesday, September fourteenth at ten am Pacific.

41
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: The tagline is California Streaming and the invitation that they

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: sent to myself along with other journalists which really isn't

43
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: an invitation. Anyone can watch this on YouTube. So it's

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: not like the old days where I used to fly

45
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: up to San Francisco or San Jose or Coopertino or

46
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: wherever I would go. Apple in the past held their

47
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: events in assorted places all around San Francisco. You know,

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: these cool old theaters. Sometimes they were on campus, other

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: times they were just you know, they were everywhere convention centers.

50
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Now they've you know, they've built their own Steve Jobs

51
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Theater in Coupertino. They got to use it, I believe,

52
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, three times. Maybe we were up

53
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: there before COVID shut everything down. So that's the reality

54
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: of this. Oh sorry, I got I got spooked for

55
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: a second. I'm trying a new setup. I'm testing a

56
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: mobile setup with my mixer board here. So I've got

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: it connected to this little battery called an omni charge.

58
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: And this omni charge thing is like the Rolls Royce

59
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: of portable batteries. It's twenty thousand million amps. It's got

60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: a regular AC plug on it, then it has USB,

61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: then it has USB C. Then it also has a

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: barrel port, which I think is for charging. And then

63
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: it has wireless on top. So if you want something

64
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: that just can power anything anywhere, even with a regular plug,

65
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: this thing is really cool. A little upwards of one

66
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, but it's so I'm testing plugging in my

67
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: mixture into this device to see if I can take

68
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: my show on the road, so to say, and not

69
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: need a plug wherever I go. And so I just

70
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: got spooked out because this the display went off on it.

71
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: But I'm at eighty eight percent and I've been on

72
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: for four minutes, so I think we're good. And I

73
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: started at ninety percent. So I'm kind of seeing how

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: much battery this thing if it can get me through

75
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: a whole show, which hopefully it can. Anyway, if you

76
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: listen to the show, well you know I digress. So

77
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: let's get back to the Apple event September fourteenth, twenty

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: twenty one, happening at ten am Pacific. So, like past

79
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: events in the past year and a half, this is

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: going to be recorded. It doesn't seem to be live.

81
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: It says broadcasting from Apple Park. It does not say

82
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: live streaming from Apple Park. So what's going to be

83
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: announced at this event? Obviously iPhone thirteen, we don't know

84
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: if that's going to be the exact name of it,

85
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: but that's the model. Then we have the Apple Watch

86
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: Series seven. Those are the two things that we're pretty

87
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: much guaranteed to see during this event, and the rest

88
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: is all up in the air. There could be some

89
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: new AirPods they you know, since it's California streaming, I

90
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: have to imagine they're going to blend in something about

91
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: the Apple TV Plus service. I mean, why would they say.

92
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they're just making a joke California Streaming,

93
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know. It seems like maybe Apple TV

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: Plus is in there. We haven't heard much from Apple

95
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: TV Plus in a while. So the iPhone thirteen, if

96
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: you're holding out for this at this point, obviously don't

97
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: buy a new smartphone, but if you're holding out for

98
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: the iPhone thirteen, doesn't seem to be a whole lot

99
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: different from the iPhone twelve, but same form factors. Basically,

100
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: they're going to use the same housing for these phones,

101
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have the mini to the max. And

102
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: the main thing is faster chips. Mac rumor says faster

103
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: five G tech. I'm not sure what that means. They

104
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: say the biggest change will be the one hundred twenty

105
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Hurtz Pro Motion display for the Pro Models, which would

106
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: be really cool. So that's smoother scrolling when you're on

107
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: things like Twitter and Facebook and all that good stuff.

108
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: And then always on display has been a rumor. I

109
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: don't know that would be a huge I mean, I'll

110
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: just explain why I love always once because I miss

111
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. On my Pixel it's always showing

112
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: me the weather, the time, and my next appointment. And

113
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, the screen I just call it dead

114
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: because it's just there, and I miss appointments all the

115
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: time because of this. Now you can blame that on me.

116
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: You could say, Rich, well, you're you're lazy, You're not

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: that smart. You know, maybe you're just not really with it.

118
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, sure I could take the blame.

119
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna blame it on my phone because that's

120
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: what I like to do. I like to place the

121
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: blame somewhere else. So my phone does not alert me,

122
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: and I've got the Apple Watch on and it gives

123
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: me the little notifications for meetings, like a half an

124
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: hour before and then ten minutes before, and I still

125
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: miss stuff. I don't know what happens here, it's like,

126
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: what is going on? So on my pixel you can't

127
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: miss it because it shows you the next meeting for

128
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: like so long and you just you know, your phone's

129
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: right next to you. So anyway, always on would be

130
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: really cool. As for the Apple Watch, apparently it's gonna

131
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: be a little flattered design look more like the iPhone

132
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: which iPhone design At this point, the iPhone twelve to

133
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: me has the perfect smartphone design. In fact, in the

134
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: year that is launched, I have not held a phone

135
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: that feels better in the hand than the iPhone twelve.

136
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: So Apple did a really really nice job on that.

137
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty much it. I'm not going to go into

138
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: like all the rumors, but the bottom line is when

139
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: the new stuff comes out, the old stuff is either discontinued.

140
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: So there could be this scenario where the iPhone twelve

141
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: will no longer be available and it will be the

142
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven and the iPhone thirteen. Sometimes they throw us

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: that loop, and I'm not a big fan of that,

144
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: but prices definitely come down for stuff in the past

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: because you know the reason why they do that is

146
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: because if you're sitting there in the Apple store and

147
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: you can go, well, I can get the iPhone twelve,

148
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: or I can go iPhone thirteen. We'll all save money

149
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: and go iPhone twelve. They don't want you to do that.

150
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: They want you to go with the newest, latest, greatest,

151
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: So they make you They put a little challenge in

152
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: your way. They say, well, you get your choice of

153
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: the iPhone eleven or the iPhone thirteen. You're like, oh gosh,

154
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven it's like two years old. It's like, eh,

155
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: two year old smartphone. Oh no way, and so therefore

156
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: you spend more money on the iPhone thirteen. Anyway. Can't

157
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: wait to see what Apple launches. Should be exciting California

158
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: streaming September fourteenth, ten am Pacific. I will be there

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: virtually of course. All right, let's get to the first question.

160
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Dan said, a while back, you mentioned some of the

161
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: better free virus detectors for Mac computers. Any chance of

162
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: an update to that list? Thanks Dan and Carrie Illinois. Dan,

163
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: I use a website for this. Basically I always recommend

164
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: a vast or AVG, but apparently a vast I think

165
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: we talked about it in the show is being purchased

166
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: by Norton I'm not sure what that's going to do

167
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: to the quality of the antivirus. I'm sure in some

168
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: ways it'll be better. In some ways it'll be worse

169
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: because they're probably gonna try to sell you on more things.

170
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: But he's a website called avdashtest dot org and you

171
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: can look at the best anti virus for home business smartphones. Now,

172
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: I personally don't think you need antivirus on a Mac

173
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: computer at this point in time. But if you really

174
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: want to feel secure, then sure, go ahead. I just

175
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: don't think that you need it. I actually think that

176
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: people these days need more protection against social engineering hacks

177
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,359
Speaker 1: than actual viruses, because we're kind of hip to viruses

178
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,479
Speaker 1: that you know, Oh here's a PDF, open it up immediately,

179
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: and also run this macro so that we can take

180
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: over your system. Like most people don't fall well, maybe

181
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: some people do, but at this point, you know, we're

182
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: not really a lot of our stuff is being done

183
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: in the cloud, and it just doesn't have the same

184
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: amount of issues as it used to when we were

185
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: exchanging files all the time, and especially word documents and

186
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: stuff like that that might have macros that run that

187
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: take over your system or install spyware. So I just

188
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: don't think we need it, really, but if you want it,

189
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: you can get it. But a vast is what they're

190
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: saying is their number one top pick for security for

191
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: mac os, So I would go with that for now,

192
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: but I don't necessarily think you need it. And the

193
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: social engineering I was talking about really comes down to

194
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: things that get email to you and trick you, or

195
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: things that get texted to you and trick you, or

196
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: websites that try to trick you. That I think is

197
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: a much bigger problem and one that is not easily

198
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: solved by some of this antivirus. You can't antivirus could

199
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: maybe identify the website is a little bit odd, but

200
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: it can't keep you from putting your password in there

201
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: and then now being hacked. So that's what i'd recommend,

202
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: and a good question because people love their antivirus. That's

203
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: for sure. Big business this antivirus stuff. All right, let's

204
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: get to the next story. Facebook. Oh how appropriate that

205
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: I said story. Facebook has a new pair of smart

206
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: sunglasses called ray Band Stories. These are going on sale

207
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: for two hundred and ninety nine dollars and I have

208
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: not gotten mind just yet. Facebook is sending me a

209
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: reviewers unit. They sent them to everyone. You know, I've

210
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: realized that I'm on the B list or maybe even

211
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: C or D of these reviewer units. So it's fine.

212
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: I've come to accept that. But that's you know, that's

213
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: just I'm happy to be on these lists, honestly, because

214
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: not everyone is. And so the fact that Facebook reached

215
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: out and said, hey, we can get you a pair

216
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: of these things if you'd like, if you'd want to

217
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: test them out, I say sure. And then the next

218
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: day I see that every reviewer in the world has

219
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: got them two weeks ago. So that's fine, but I'll

220
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. So Facebook

221
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: ray Bands Stories they're called. So these are sunglasses that

222
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: actually look really cool. They look like normal or I

223
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: should say typical ray bands the wayfarers. They've got two

224
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: front facing cameras in them for capturing videos and photos.

225
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: Then they have this new app from Facebook called Facebook

226
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: View and so that app connects to the camera. You

227
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: can take pictures by saying Hey Facebook, which is another

228
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: yet another wake word. I'm gonna say, why aww, yet

229
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: another wake word. So now we have Hey Facebook, it'll

230
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: take a video or a picture. I'm not sure which one.

231
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: I guess you can say, hey Facebook, take a video

232
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: or hey Facebook, take a picture. That's the extent of

233
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: that right now. But the cool thing is these clips

234
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: can be shared to any app on your phone, not

235
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: just Facebook or Instagram. And I'll be honest, like, I

236
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: think this is really really cool. And the way that

237
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: these look, the way that they function, I feel like

238
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: these could be the sunglasses that actually break through into mainstream. Now.

239
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen overnight, but for me personally,

240
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm on so many stories. I'm on so many different

241
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: shoots and stuff, and I see a lot of cool

242
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: stuff and it takes a lot of work to sit

243
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: there and remember to Facebook or story or Instagram stories

244
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I just don't do it because I

245
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: just forget and the to have these on all the

246
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: time and just kind of you know, tap at a

247
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: little shutter button on your temple and next thing you know,

248
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: it records a little clip and then you can share

249
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: it later on. I think that's really cool. Now. The

250
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: other thing, quite honestly, that keeps me and I'm very

251
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: honest with you, because you're a listener of this podcast,

252
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: and I don't say all this stuff on TV, but

253
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: when you're listening ear to ear to what I'm saying,

254
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: I think that I have a responsibility to be, you know,

255
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: open and honest with you because you're spending all this

256
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: time listening to my voice. And so quite honestly, one

257
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,119
Speaker 1: of the reasons I don't share so much on Instagram

258
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: Stories is I'm on TV. I'm a public figure. You know,

259
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: probably not everyone likes me out there, and you know,

260
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: if I'm sitting there in real time sharing every restaurant

261
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: I'm eating at, or sharing every single place I'm at

262
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: in real time, there could definitely be some security concerns there.

263
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't think the average person has that. Perhaps they

264
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: do with an X that could be keeping watch over them,

265
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: or you know, if some one is just I mean,

266
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: look at you. Think about how much information we put

267
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: on Instagram and Facebook these days. I mean, you can

268
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: see where or get an understanding of someone is in

269
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: almost near real time, so it is a concern. Anyway.

270
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: I've talked about this thing where Instagram should really have

271
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: a delayed post feature where you can post in real time,

272
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: but it will just delay your post for you know,

273
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. I mean, that would be perfect. You

274
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: don't have to do it for every post, but I

275
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: think that would be a really smart thing for them

276
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: to do, not just for engagement, because I think more

277
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: people would share if they knew that this was not

278
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: going to be shared for twenty four hours. And I

279
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: get it, Yes, there are some things you want to

280
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: share in the moment, but most things can wait. I mean,

281
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: if you're watching kind of a film reel off someone's life,

282
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: like does it really matter if you see them in

283
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: that moment at that cool hotel in Miami or the

284
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: next day, it doesn't really matter, And depending on when

285
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: you look at the story, it could be twenty four

286
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: hours later anyway. So the reality is I think that

287
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: that would be a really cool way to drive engagement

288
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: and also make people feel a little bit more secure,

289
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: And especially with these glasses coming out, because if I

290
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: had a delayed post feature, I would probably post like

291
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: everything I do, because why not, it's kind of fun

292
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: to share. So these glasses, if they're reminding you of Spectacles,

293
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: which are from Snapchat, Yes, now I tested Spectacles and

294
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: I will tell you they were not my cup of tea.

295
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: They only worked with Snapchat, and yeah, you could export

296
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: the video and post it to other apps, but it

297
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: wasn't very easy and they didn't look very good. They

298
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: looked very like these are glasses with a camera in them,

299
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: and I think Snapchat was going for that, but I

300
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: think that really kind of burned them in the end,

301
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: because no one wants to wear those. These look like

302
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: regular sunglasses, and in fact, people may not realize that

303
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: they are cameras. So the other cool thing about these

304
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: is that they've got Bluetooth built in, so you can

305
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: take calls, you can listen to music or podcasts, and

306
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: from what I remember with the Echo frames from Amazon,

307
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: I loved that ambient audio feature. Just being able to

308
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: listen to music without my ears being plugged up or

309
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: being able to take phone calls was really cool. Except

310
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: in the case of those glasses, they were just window glasses,

311
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: so it wasn't really something that I wanted to wear

312
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: when I didn't need to be wearing glasses. So these

313
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: are sunglasses, which I wear a lot. I live in

314
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and so these I'm very very excited for.

315
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: These five megapixel camera on These things can capture. According

316
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: to the Verge, over three dozen thirty second video clips

317
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: or five hundred photos before the memory fills up and

318
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: you know it's a battery. And also some lights to

319
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: indicate that you're recording or when you need to to

320
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: charge these things. And so again, I don't think the

321
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: audio and video quality on these are going to be

322
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: the best. You know, this is miniature stuff that is

323
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: very first generation, so I think it's going to get better.

324
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: But from what I saw on Instagram a couple of

325
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: the people Joshua Vagara that shared some one of these

326
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: influencers that I follow, I thought the video quality that

327
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: he shared looked awesome. I mean, I thought it looked great,

328
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: and it looks really fun. He was like taking the

329
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: glasses off, turning him around, looking at himself. I mean,

330
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was really cool. So anyway, two hundred

331
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: and nine and nine dollars available right now. I will

332
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: have more on them in the future when I get

333
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: to test them out. Batteries holding steady at eighty five percent, well,

334
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: I guess it's not really holding steady, but batteries at

335
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: eighty five percent and we're yeah, about a quarter of

336
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: the way through, So that's pretty good, Nina writes in Hello,

337
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: do you have any suggestions for transferring eight millimeters videotapes

338
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: to digital files. The camera they were shot on is

339
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: no longer working, Thank you, Nina, Nina. I did a

340
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: story on this many years ago on KTLA and I

341
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: transferred a bunch of my stuff. It is. It is

342
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: a long process. It's not quick, and it's not easy.

343
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: And a lot of times, like you said, the camera

344
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: that you have, you no longer have access to, or

345
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, or it's just not very good. And

346
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: so I think that doing it yourself is fun and

347
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: it's in you know, it's an easy DIY. I mean,

348
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: maybe not easy, but it's a it's a DIY that

349
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: you can do and accomplish because it's not overly complicated.

350
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: You basically get one of these devices which i'll mention,

351
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: you connect your camera or your video player to it,

352
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: and then you record on your computer. And then the

353
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: toughest part is actually the files, like whether you trim

354
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: them or chop them or whatever you do, but toss

355
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: them all in Google Photos no matter what, because it

356
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: identifies the people inside those photos and even the places

357
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: in the videos, sorry I should say in the videos.

358
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: And so it's it's really, really powerful stuff, and so

359
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: I can go and check out all the photos of

360
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: my grandma, you know, even though I didn't even know

361
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: she was in some of these birthday party videos, but

362
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: there she is, you know, So that's really neat. Okay.

363
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: Two I tested were el Gato Video Capture for Mac

364
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: and the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD three for PC.

365
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: Both of these are pretty much the same. They are

366
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: a dongle that you plug in via us BE to

367
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: your computer and then you use the little cables I

368
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: think they're called RCA cables to plug in your video player. Now,

369
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: you said that your cam quorder no longer works, So

370
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: what I would recommend for that eight millimeter is I

371
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: would go on eBay and you can buy a cam quarder. Now,

372
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: before you do that, I would just talk to some

373
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: family and friends. That's what I did, and you can

374
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: borrow one of these. Someone's got it laying around the

375
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: house and oh, yeah, I've got that. So I borrowed

376
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: a VCR from my father in law and I borrowed

377
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: a trying to remember where did I get the VHS camera?

378
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: Was it? I don't remember? The sorry, the whatever camera

379
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: I used? I use an eight millimeter and I don't

380
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: really remember where I got it. I think maybe I

381
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: bought it on Amazon. I can't remember. Sorry, on eBay,

382
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: I can't remember. But anyway, they're both back to their

383
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: rightful owners. So yeah, I'm trying to remember where I

384
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: got the camera. Anyway, That's what i'd recommend now, if

385
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, if you feel

386
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: like a I don't want to deal with this, I

387
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: don't know how to do it, I would just recommend

388
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: going on Yelp and you can find someone that will

389
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: do this near you. And so all I would do

390
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: is type in VHS and even if you just type

391
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: that in the AI will take over and it should

392
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 1: Let's see, if I type VHS, it'll immediately VHS to digital,

393
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: VHS to DVD. You type VHS to digital and you

394
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: will find all kinds of places near you. So my

395
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: thing is that I don't really want to send these

396
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: out because these are my precious video tapes, and so

397
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: I want these done locally, and I want them at

398
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: a place where I can bring them in. And so

399
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: you will find people that you know, someone just has

400
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: a little you know, camera shop or a video production

401
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: facility or whatever and they just do this on the side,

402
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 1: or they do it as their business, but no matter what,

403
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: call them up, ask them if they do it on location,

404
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: and how much it is per tape usually it's fifteen

405
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: twenty bucks a tape, and how they deliver you the

406
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: final product, which these days should be digital not. You

407
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: don't want them on DVD because that's way too complicated

408
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: to ever rip again. Or I should say transfer to

409
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: digital because I've got all all this stuff on DVD

410
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: from when I was a reporter in Louisiana, and getting

411
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: that onto a digital format that's not DVD like a

412
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, just a regular file is kind of a process,

413
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: and so I would not recommend getting them on DVD

414
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: at this point. All right, let's talk Amazon. Amazon is

415
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: coming out with its own TVs, and Amazon is really

416
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: they are. I'm reading this book Amazon Unbound right now,

417
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: which is an excellent book all about Amazon and all

418
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: about how evil Amazon is and how bad they are

419
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: and how terrible Jeff Bezos is, which I joke because

420
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of like the point of the book, like

421
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: it's just like everything is just terrible about Amazon, which

422
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: is conflicting to me because I mean, I really like Amazon,

423
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: and I think the impact that Amazon has had in

424
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: my life has been amazing. So let me give you example.

425
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: Everyone says Amazon is evil, right, Okay, so let's go

426
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: to Target and buy the stuff that you need, or

427
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: let's go to a local place and buy the stuff

428
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: that you need. Let me give you an example from

429
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 1: my personal experience. My kid needed stuff for baseball, and

430
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: so you know, you can go to the local sports

431
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: shop and they may or may not have what he

432
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: needs in stock, and if it's in stock, it's not

433
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: guaranteed to be in his size. Where on Amazon you

434
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: can search, you can read reviews, you can ask friends,

435
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: and what's the link of this thing? So I understand

436
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: there's this thing of like Amazon has just pulverized so

437
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: many businesses. But you know, it's this is the natural

438
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: progression of our world. I mean, you can't stop it.

439
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't like the old days of the mom and

440
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: pop on Main Street, like is just not happening anymore.

441
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: Like nobody's sitting there saying, oh, I'm gonna start a

442
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: small you know whatever. Now you can still do that

443
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: and be successful. And by the way, you can sell

444
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: your stuff on Amazon and Etsy and all kinds of

445
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: other places, and so it's not like it doesn't happen anymore.

446
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: But this this whole idea that Amazon is just pure evil,

447
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm just not sure I agree with that. And

448
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, Amazon is on a lot

449
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: of things in recent years to get better. And you

450
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: have to remember this is a new company. I mean, yeah,

451
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: they've been around for twenty something years at this point,

452
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: but a lot of these companies are finding their way

453
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: in the world. And yeah, what Amazon did on day

454
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: one may not be the same thing that they did

455
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: day you know, forty five thousand, which it's interesting I

456
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: mentioned day one, but that's Amazon's mantra is they actually

457
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: want to do things as you would do them on

458
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: day one. Like and I'll give you an example for myself.

459
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: I've been at my job for ten years, and so

460
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: there are things that I do that I find myself

461
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: wanting to change, but I can't because it is human

462
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: nature to just continue doing things the way that you

463
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: do them. And I sit there and I'm like, ah, Rich,

464
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: you should really try to do this differently. But I'm like,

465
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: but I know this works, and I know that this

466
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: is the way I've done it in the past, and

467
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: so we want to challenge ourselves and we want to

468
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: continue growing and evolving. And so that's that day one

469
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: mantra of Amazon, which you know, you got to give

470
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: them credit for. And I think that we all need

471
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. And so sometimes I will

472
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: lenge myself to do things on my own or in

473
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: different ways, and it may not always work out, but

474
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: that is kind of like what I've personally realized is

475
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: a way to continue growing as an individual and as

476
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: an employee and as a presenter or whatever, you know, journalist. Anyway,

477
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: all of that to say, Amazon has its own new

478
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: TVs and so these are called the Omnia TVs. And

479
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: I had some notes, Okay, Omnia series smart TVs. They've

480
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: got four K ultra HD. And the big new feature

481
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: here is that these are Amazon TVs. Like they're branded Amazon.

482
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: They're not TCL, they're not Visio, they are not Toshiba,

483
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: they're not Pioneer, they're not Westinghouse, they're not Insignia. They

484
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: are Amazon. And so it's called fire TV Omni series.

485
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: Oh Omni, I say, Omnia Omni. Omnia is a club

486
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: in Vegas. So four K ultra HD and the big

487
00:24:54,080 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: thing is this new hands free alex A feature, And

488
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: the hands free feature is that you can basically ask

489
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: alex A all kinds of stuff like, hey, tune into

490
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: Channel five, or tune into the ballgame, Hey play some

491
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: new play a newly released movie, which why would you

492
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: ever ask that? Play newly released movies? Like, oh, I

493
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: guess you can ask like play whatever the movie name is, okay,

494
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: And you can also find your favorite TV show. So basically,

495
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: they've built in a souped up version of alex or

496
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: alex A that can really just get you to stuff

497
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: without a lot of searching. And we need that because

498
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: that's that's a necessary thing. So they've got four k

499
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: Ultra HD. And let's see some of the other features

500
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: of these TVs that I had Oh right here, sorry, okay,

501
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: I did have notes. Wow, look at this. So they've

502
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: got a forty three inch all the way up to

503
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: seventy five inch models, and they've got support for HDR

504
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: Dolby Digital Plus. Does it have Dolby at Mos Dolby

505
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: at Mos. The other thing is you can, oh, the

506
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: TVs don't seem to have doll No, the TVs do

507
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: not have Dolby at most because only the new firestick

508
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: does it looks like? But anyway, these TVs are an

509
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: amazing deal, and in fact, I may be tempted to

510
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: purchase this. I was gonna get the Google TV, but

511
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: now I'm like, hmm. Amazon is definitely a larger platform

512
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: than Google is. And this TV ready for this is

513
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: eight hundred and twenty nine dollars for a sixty five

514
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: inch TV. I mean, that is just unbelievable to me

515
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: that I can get a really nice TV for that price.

516
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: So also, you can hook up Echo speakers like the

517
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: Echo Studio and other Echo smart speakers wirelessly for immersive sounds.

518
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool if you want to, like you know,

519
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Amazon has just built such a great ecosystem

520
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: with all their Echo products and alex A products, so

521
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: you're not going to be law at a loss for

522
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: stuff to connect to this, right. It works with ring doorbell,

523
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: so if someone rings your doorbell, you'll see their video

524
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: on your screen. So there's just so many things that

525
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: this really. It works with cable it works with streaming,

526
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: it works with music, gaming, all kinds of stuff. It's

527
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of that fire TV cube that

528
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: kind of controlled your cable box and stuff, except now

529
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: that's built into this TV. So I think this is

530
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: very compelling. TikTok is also going to be on here. Wow,

531
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that's a win. I haven't watched

532
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: TikTok on the big screen, but there is some interesting

533
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: stuff on there. I will say. Also, you can connect

534
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: a webcam to the back of this TV and you

535
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: can do zoom, you can do alex a calling video calling.

536
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: So I mean there is a lot that you can

537
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: do with this TV. I think it's a really fantastic value.

538
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: So and a lot of people love the Fire platform,

539
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: the Fire TV platform, so it's just an easy win

540
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: to just go with the TV that has built in. Now,

541
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: if you've listened to this podcast for a long time,

542
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: you're thinking yourself rich dude, bro, you never say you

543
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: always say not to go with a TV that has

544
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: a software smart's built in, And yes, I agree, and

545
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: very good catch on my part or on your part

546
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: about me. But here's the thing. This is a platform

547
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: that is pretty well developed. This is a platform that

548
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: is established. It's a platform that is dominant, and I

549
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: don't really see an issue if you want this TV

550
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: at this price and you want something that's very simple.

551
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't really see a huge issue in recommending this.

552
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: So yes, I always like the fact that you can

553
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: be independent and purchase your TV separately and then add

554
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: a streaming stick or a box to the TV and

555
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: the software is better and it's updated more. But I

556
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: don't think that's the case here. I think that you'll

557
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: be just fine with this, and so for that reason,

558
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to recommend it and say go for it

559
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: if you want it. I may this may be my

560
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: next TV. Let's see when's it a available. It is

561
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: available October twenty seventh, So let me give you some

562
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: of the pricing. Forty three inches four hundred about four

563
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, fifty inches five hundred, fifty five inch, five

564
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: to sixty sixty five inch eight twenty nine and seventy

565
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: five inch is eleven hundred bucks. That is unbelievable. Now,

566
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: they also came out with the new Fire TV Stick

567
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: four K Max. This is the first time they've updated

568
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: the Fire TV stick in a while. It's a little

569
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: bit more expensive. It's fifty five dollars, but it's forty

570
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: percent more powerful than before, and it has Wi Fi

571
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: six and it also supports four K four k UHD

572
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: HDR and HD ten plus, as well as Dolby Vision

573
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: and Dolby Atmos, so you are covered and you can

574
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: connect the same speakers wirelessly. So this little Firestick Max

575
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: is excellent. I would not recommend buying that right now

576
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: because it is fifty four ninety nine, which means it

577
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: is priced to go on sale. This will be on

578
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: sale for forty four ninety nine. It'll be on sale

579
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: for fifty dollars, So fifty five dollars. Yes, it's not

580
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: that expensive in the scheme of things, but I know

581
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: you can get it for cheaper. And so what I

582
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: would do is just put an alert on Camel Camel

583
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: Camel and pop in this fire TV stick for Kmax,

584
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: and you'll get an alert this is hey, this thing's

585
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: on sale. It will go on sale. I guarantee it,

586
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: So just wait for that, all right, Let's get to

587
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: the next question, Daniel says rich. When my wife uses

588
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: her iPhone to pay at Starbucks, her screen goes dark

589
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: or blackened. To get back to white screen, she has

590
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: to swipe up and reset the brightness. Is there a

591
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: reason for this? Starbucks is the only place that does this.

592
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: It looks like it's an older model iPhone, thank you, Daniel, Daniel.

593
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: What's happening here is that the phone is automatically adjusting

594
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: the brightness to let her scan the code to pay

595
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: for things at Starbucks. And what's happening is somehow, well,

596
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: it's going darker after it's done, or it times out

597
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: or something, or maybe this phone is just a little

598
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: bit older and it doesn't want to it's not coded

599
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: properly with the software. But that is what's happening. It's

600
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: something to do some of these apps where you scan

601
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: the screen, like whether it's a you know, an app

602
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: for your boarding pass or an app at the grocery

603
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: store or you know, the target app. They all basically

604
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: do this thing where they boost the brightness of your

605
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: screen to make it so that it's easier for the

606
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: laser to scan the screen. And it used to be

607
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: a real problem. Now it works much better than it

608
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: used to, and a lot of places are actually instead

609
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: of using standard barcodes or using QR codes, which is

610
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot easier because it's image recognition versus actually scanning lines,

611
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: and so for that reason, it's a lot easier for

612
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: these systems to recognize the QR codes, and that's why

613
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: you've seen such a strong adoption of those. But in

614
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: this case, something's going something's going wrong. It's it's something

615
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: you know. I'd recommend uninstalling the app and reinstalling it,

616
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: restart the phone. But I think it could be that

617
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: this phone is just maybe not coded properly for this

618
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: for what's happening here, because you're saying the screen is

619
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: going dark when in reality the screen should brighten up

620
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: and then usually it was, so when the thinking is

621
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: happening is it's brightening up, and then it's when the

622
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: phone is adjusting back down to the standard brightness. It's

623
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: bringing it way down and way too down. The only

624
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: other thing I'd do is I go into your settings

625
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: on your phone and make sure that automatic brightness under

626
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: display is is chosen. I would show you exactly how

627
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: to get there, but I'm on my Facebook broadcasting live

628
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: here to Facebook rooms, and so I can't go into

629
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: my settings without I'm not sure if it stays live

630
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: in the background. So that's what I would do, is

631
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: just go into your display settings on your iPhone settings

632
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: display and look for anything with brightness and there should

633
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: be an automatic one, and that should that should help

634
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: you out there. But yeah, that's an odd problem. But

635
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: you know that, Daniel, the new iPhone thirteen's coming out,

636
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 1: so you can just buy a new one. Just kidding.

637
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: I know every every tech person ever, like back for

638
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: like ten years, would be like, oh, the solution of

639
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: this problem is just buy something new. So no, we should.

640
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: We should have the stuff that we have, work with

641
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: with what we want to work. So that's the way

642
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: it should happen. Hulu is raising prices and I posted

643
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: this on my Facebook page and I was kind of

644
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: a little snarky, and I said, you know, did you

645
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: think that streaming would be any different than cable? I mean,

646
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: really we are. We are a couple of years into

647
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: streaming and guess what, everyone cut the cord so that

648
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: they could save money. And is it really saving much money? Maybe?

649
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: But I think there are some advantages to streaming that

650
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: are still true. That's still hold true and number one, Okay,

651
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: let's let's just talk about Hulu first before I go

652
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: into my diatribe about this. Is that? What does that mean? Diatribe?

653
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: Why sometimes I say these words I don't even know

654
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: what they mean. Diatribe a forceful or bitter verbal attack

655
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: against something. Okay, yuess that is a diatribe. Uh. So

656
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: Hulu is raising the prices on October eighth, So plans

657
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: are going up by a buck. So if you pay

658
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: six dollars, you're gonna be paying seven dollars for the ads.

659
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: If you pay twelve dollars, you'll be paying thirteen dollars

660
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: for no ads, which is what I pay for. But

661
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: mine's part of this like weird bundle, so which I

662
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: didn't realize until I went and checked my prices and

663
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: I said, oh, you're part of that Disney Plus bundle.

664
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I don't even know. I

665
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: got ESPN Plus, So I get ESPN plus, Hulu Plus

666
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: and Disney Plus or is it Hulu? Yeah, Hulu Plus, No,

667
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: just Hulu? Yeah, I guess I don't know anyway, So

668
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: what is the deal with this? Yeah, these prices are

669
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: going up, these these streaming services they lord us in

670
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: with with lo Loo prices, we all canceled cable and

671
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: now we're on we're on the wagon with these things.

672
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: We are we are on the train and it's uh,

673
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: it's it's great. I love the streaming stuff. I think

674
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: it it's an amazing thing. To have access to I

675
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: like it. It's simple. But what I don't like is

676
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: that everything's scattered. Now. You know, when someone mentions a

677
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: TV show, you got to run through your laundry list

678
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: of cable of services and be like, oh is it

679
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: on that channel? Oh is it on I don't even

680
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: know where that's playing. So but and if you don't subscribe,

681
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: you gotta subscribe, Like the Paul Patrol movie my kid

682
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: wanted to watch, so I did, like the thirty day

683
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: free trial of of what's it called? I could see

684
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: the Little Mountain Paramount Plus so that was from August

685
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: twentieth or about August seventeenth, probably gonna expire about September seventeenth.

686
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: And by the way, one little tip, you do know

687
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: that you can cancel subscriptions before they expire. That's like

688
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: an unknown thing that like ninety nine percent of people

689
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: don't really realize. But yeah, when I subscribe to Paramount,

690
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: as soon as I subscribe, I just go in and cancel,

691
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: and that way you don't get charged for the next month,

692
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: by surprise. And you can do this on Apple, on iPhone,

693
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: on Android, on all these things that you have to

694
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: cancel online. Now the only one I've noticed that doesn't

695
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: do it, and I've mentioned this before is Apple themselves.

696
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: They say, oh, if you cancel, we're gonna take your

697
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: subscription away immediately, which is kind of like a way

698
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: of keeping you being like, ah, let me just let

699
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: me just inch a little closer to that renewal date,

700
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: and then of course you forget and you get charged,

701
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: like in the case of me with various things, but

702
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: it's mostly like that was Apple News. Plus I did that.

703
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: It was like ten bucks. I was going on some flights,

704
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: so I wanted to subscribe to that, and I was like, oh,

705
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: I'll just you know, I'll just cancel it right away,

706
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: and I couldn't. And I was like, oh, I'll remember

707
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: to cancel it. Of course I didn't, and I've paid

708
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: another It's only ten bucks, but still so yes, sorry,

709
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: Hulu they're doing They're really trying to push people towards

710
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: the Disney Bundle, which is gonna be fourteen dollars a month.

711
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: That's still the same price, but that includes Hulu with ads,

712
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: which I'm not a fan of. I like to have

713
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: my stuff ad free, so I pay a little bit

714
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: more for that premium, and I guess what was my

715
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: big point about this. The big point about all these

716
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: streaming services is that, yeah, it's a little bit more complicated,

717
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: but the reality is you can cancel and start up

718
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: at any time, and it's so much easier than it

719
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: was in the past. You know, in the past, you'd

720
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: have to call the cable company, which meant most people

721
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: that subscribe to HBO or the Disney Channel kept it

722
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: forever because there's no way you're gonna sit there on

723
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: the phone with a cable person, who, by the way,

724
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: can also convince you to keep it or give you

725
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: a deal to keep it. And you know, it's just

726
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: way more work. And so with the with the self

727
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: service stuff. I mean, when you go to like whenever

728
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: Netflix sends out like a price increase email, they're like,

729
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, you can always cancel your account. Like they

730
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: just like stand there with their their hands on their

731
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: on their hips and they're like, you know, you can

732
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: cancel if you'd like to. You're like, oh, okay, Netflix,

733
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, my gosh, I've been a subscriber for so long,

734
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: but I mean that's what I mean to you, Okay,

735
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: I can go to my account and cancel. Uh. What

736
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: was my other point? My other point is that I

737
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: got in like a big huff and a puff when

738
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: I saw this, and I'm like, all right, this is

739
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. All the streaming services they keep going

740
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: up by you know, I pay eighteen bucks a month

741
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: for YouTube. I pay sixteen a month for Spotify. So

742
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: I went through and I added up all of my

743
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: subscriptions and I was like, I'm gonna see how much

744
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: I'm paying for all these things, and it came out

745
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: to like sixty five dollars a month. And I'm like, okay, well,

746
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, yeah, it's more than it used to be.

747
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: Like when Netflix first came out, it's like nine bucks

748
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: and that was it. And then all these other things

749
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: came out, and of course you're watching one show on

750
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: each one of these services, and you need the music

751
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: for the whole family. I need YouTube Premium for the

752
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: whole family. And I was like, okay, sixty five ninety

753
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: nine or sixty five dollars is not all that terribly

754
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: bad for all of these services. I get to watch

755
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: a show on anything I want basically with no ads,

756
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: so that's not too bad. And when I told my wife,

757
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, that's really not that bad. Isn't that

758
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: still cheaper than cable? And yeah, I think we're paying

759
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: two hundred a month for direct TV and that included

760
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: our internet service back in the day. And now I'm

761
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: paying like ninety for Internet and then sixty five for this,

762
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: so you know, almost almost too, but not quite there.

763
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: So I'm still a little bit saving, but it's still

764
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, it's still like when I look

765
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: at YouTube seventeen bucks a month, Like, am I really

766
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: watching seventeen dollars worth of YouTube a month? I don't think.

767
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: So that includes the music service, but I've grown to

768
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: love Spotify and I just can't give that up now.

769
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: So now I had to subscribe to that. So I

770
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: was using the free YouTube music that was included, and

771
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: I just once I got a little taste of Spotify,

772
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: really really tough to go away from that at this point.

773
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: So prices are going up, that's the bottom line, and

774
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: they will continue to go off, that's for sure, all right,

775
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: Lynn says Rich. Does there exist a way to send

776
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: an auto response back to junk mail or is there

777
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: a way to set one up? Lately I've been getting

778
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: a chunk of thirty a day at one time from

779
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: one center in the UK. This is an addition to

780
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: regular junk mail. I blocked them every day. This has

781
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: been going on for a few weeks and they have

782
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: a they've figured out a way around the blocking. If

783
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: they got a response back saying you've been blocked for

784
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: every one of these pieces of junk mail sent, it

785
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: could easily shut them down. It might also create a

786
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: way to curtail the junk mail business going forward. Thank you.

787
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: My non Facebook friend asked me to reach out to you, Lynn. Oh,

788
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: thank you, Lynn. But here's the thing. You do not

789
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: want to send them back a message that says you've

790
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: been blocked. Don't do that. What that does is it

791
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: tells them that you are reading this message, and you

792
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: are an active participant in this email account, and you

793
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: are ready to receive messages at any time and the

794
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: email works. So you do not want to do that.

795
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: That is number one. Number two when it comes to

796
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: these senders. A lot of this stuff comes in waves

797
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: right now. I've just I've been getting a lot of

798
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: the very similar junk email. It's the similar. It's just

799
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: everything looks the same. It's like one line, then a

800
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: big graphic in the middle and that's it. And I've

801
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: been getting a lot of that, and it's probably because

802
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of recent hacks and my email

803
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: address is floating around and what do I do? I

804
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: just delete them? So, Lynn, what I think is the

805
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: better solution here is two things. Number One, you can

806
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: use the report spam button on your email. Most of

807
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: the emails have it, so if you're using, you know

808
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: whether it's Gmail or whether it's Yahoo or anything else.

809
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: Usually there is a way to report an email as spam,

810
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: and so on Gmail, I can see it right up

811
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: at the top. It says report spam. Looks like a

812
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: circle with a little exclamation exclamation mark. Isn't that weird?

813
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: Don't we say? Let me just say you ever wonder

814
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: you ever notice how you say words really fast and

815
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: they are not actually the words like explanation mark, explanation

816
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: explanation mark. It almost sounds like I'm saying explanation mark. No,

817
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: it's an exclamation mark. So but who says that? Who

818
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: enunciates an exclamation mark? Maybe some people do. I don't.

819
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: So you can do that. But I think what's better,

820
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: and this is I think something that is really really

821
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: he to do in your email is I would not

822
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: load images on my email because every email these days

823
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: is it's got a little a little bit of baggage

824
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: connected to it. And that baggage is what's called a

825
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: tracking pixel. And that little tracking pixel is so tiny

826
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: you can never see it with the naked eye. But

827
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: what it does is it reports back a lot of information.

828
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: It reports back when you opened an email. It reports

829
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: back the IP address that you open the email from,

830
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: so they know your location. And it might even report

831
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: back the type of device that you opened the email on.

832
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: So all that information basically tells the spammers and the

833
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: scammers that, oh, we got a good one. We got

834
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: a hot lead right here. We got Lind's email address,

835
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: and it is a good one because she keeps responding

836
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: to us. Hey, I'm not here, I'm not here, I'm

837
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: not here. Please stop doing this, and we're gonna keep

838
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: doing it. So go into your email settings, whether you're

839
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: on Gmail or Yahoo or anything. And Gmail settings have

840
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: gotten very complicated by the way. Look for something that

841
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 1: says images, and under the Gmail general settings it says

842
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: images always display external images, or ask before displaying external images.

843
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: I have the ask before displaying external images clicked and

844
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: You can also do this on your smartphone as well.

845
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: And what that does is it pretty much stops these

846
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: tracking pixels from working because if the tracking pixel is

847
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: not loading, cannot it cannot send back information about how

848
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: it was loaded and where it was loaded and who

849
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: loaded it, and so you basically stop these scammers in

850
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: their tracks. And so it's a it's an easy way.

851
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: It's not fool proof, but it's an easy way to

852
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: kind of just give one more line of defense between

853
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: you and these scam artists. And so I've got it. Yeah,

854
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: is it more annoying? Of course all these emails on

855
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: my phone. When I get an email that I want

856
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: to look at the picture, I have to press display

857
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: external images each time manually. But that's fine because it's

858
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 1: really emails that I want to interact with, and yeah,

859
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: they're immediately sending tracking pixels. Now, another side of this

860
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: is that a lot of the PR professionals that I

861
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: know and love and that send me emails, a lot

862
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: of them use tracking pixels in their emails. And why

863
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: do they do that, Well, they want to see if

864
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: a journalist like myself read their pitch and open their email,

865
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: and then they can harass me the next day and say, hey,

866
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: just following up here on my email, And if you

867
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: have that enabled, they know that you read it at

868
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: eight thirty in the morning and you didn't respond, and

869
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: so they at least knew it got in front of

870
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: your eyeballs. So I have that turned off. And it

871
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: probably frustrates a lot of people because when they get

872
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: a report of all the journalists that they sent an

873
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: email to mine comes up rich on tech as a

874
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: big question mark. We don't know did Rich open it?

875
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: We can't tell, and so that frustrates them. So make

876
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: them work for their mone a little bit harder, That's

877
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: what I do. So that's what I'd recommend doing. Don't

878
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: load external images by default on your email, and it

879
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 1: will keep you just a little little bit safer. Next story,

880
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: and talked about this on KTLA today. This is the

881
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: surprising way that hackers gain access to your Facebook account

882
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: and the best way to keep them out. This is

883
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: a story that was about six months in progress because

884
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: I get so many emails from people that say, hey,

885
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: Rich I was hacked on Facebook. Can you help? And

886
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: they want my help, But then I say, okay, will

887
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: you go on TV and talk about it? And I

888
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: can use your your story to kind of be the

889
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: bedrock of a big story on TV that can help

890
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people. And they all say, oh, no, on, on,

891
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: I want to do that. Okay, Well I finally found

892
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: one person who you know I email back. Every time

893
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: I say, well, you talk about this on TV, everyone

894
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 1: says no, except for this woman, Pam del Ray. She's

895
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: a realtor in Arcadia, California, which is near Pasadena. And

896
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: she said, cherylll go on TV. And I said, really,

897
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: you'll go on TV? Okay, yes, won the jackpot and

898
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: I kept thinking it was too good to be true,

899
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: but she sure enough. We got to her office. She

900
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 1: talked to me about what happened, and she got hacked

901
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: on Facebook. They took over her account, they took over

902
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: other accounts, and I actually emailed Facebook as well, saying, hey,

903
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: can we talk to someone at Facebook? Like how do

904
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: these people hack these accounts? Why do they hack them?

905
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: And much to my surprise, Facebook said, sure, will give

906
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: you someone. It took them a real long time, but

907
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: they did deliver someone and the person explained how and

908
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: why these hackers do it. And when I say, the

909
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: surprising way that hackers do it. They're not actually most

910
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: of the time hacking directly through your Facebook. What they're

911
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: doing is they're figuring out your easy to figure out

912
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: password on your email and that's how they're getting into

913
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: your Facebook accounts. So once they have your email, they

914
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: have it's so much more valuable because now they can

915
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: unlock all of your accounts from banking to Venmo, to PayPal,

916
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,479
Speaker 1: to Facebook to Instagram. And what they do is they

917
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: have Okay, so first they gain access to your email account.

918
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: Now they've taken it over. You can't get into your email.

919
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: Now they go to Facebook and they do I need

920
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: a password reset. And that password reset guess where it goes.

921
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: It delivers right to the email account that they now

922
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: have control over, and so they can reset your Facebook account.

923
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: They can reset your Venmo account, your Instagram, your PayPal,

924
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: and that's what they proceed to do. So how do

925
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: you keep this from happening to you? You know what

926
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to say if you've been listening to this podcast,

927
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: it is all about a little magical thing called two

928
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: factor authentication. Two factor authentication means that even if they

929
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: got access to your email account, now they go to

930
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: log into your Facebook account and Facebook says, Okay, we

931
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: see it's you, but we need you to type in

932
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: this other code that we're going to text your phone

933
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: or it's going to be generated by an app like

934
00:47:53,760 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: authy or Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. And the hacker goes, oh, crap,

935
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: can I say that on a podcast? I guess I

936
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: can probably say anything. Oh no, I what am I

937
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: gonna do? I can't. I don't have this extra code,

938
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: And they are foiled. They are stopped in their tracks

939
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: and Scooby Doo comes by and they proceed to pull

940
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: the mask off of the hacker and reveal their true identity.

941
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: Did I make that joke in the last podcast? I

942
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: think I did. Sometimes I forget, you know, it's a

943
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: week between podcasts, and I just you know, it's like

944
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: a fresh it's a fresh start every week because you know,

945
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: new people are listening every week, so you could be

946
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: newly listening and not get any of the references. So

947
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: best way to protect yourself go and enable two factor

948
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: authentication not just on your Facebook account, but also on

949
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 1: your email, and not just on your email, but also

950
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: on your bank And not just on your bank, but

951
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: on any account that you log into that supports it

952
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: that you hold near and dear to your heart. Anything

953
00:48:55,160 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: with banking, credit cards, email, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, anything, Google,

954
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: get two factor authentication enabled on it. Get yourself an app.

955
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: That's the easiest way to do it, an app like

956
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: authy or Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. And once you

957
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: set up the app, it'll give you know, it kind

958
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: of links into all these accounts and generates codes for

959
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: all these different accounts. It's much more secure than getting

960
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: a text message to your phone. But I Am not

961
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: going to scoff for the text message. If that's where

962
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: you want to start, just start with the text a

963
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: text code to your phone number, and it's still better

964
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: than nothing. So that's what you want to do on Facebook.

965
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 1: I've got the article on how to set it up

966
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: on the show notes. The other thing you can do

967
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: for Facebook is set up trusted contacts. This is where

968
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: you pick two or three friends that they will contact

969
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: and say, hey, is rich DeMuro really who he says

970
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: he is? And then they give that person a code

971
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: that they can give you, and then it'll help you

972
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: get back into your account. And then finally, if you

973
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: do get locked out Facebook dot Com slash hacked is

974
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: the place to go. And yeah, you're not necessarily going

975
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: to get your account back immediately or ever, but that

976
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: is the best way to go and do it. And so,

977
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, Facebook said, look, this is not a Facebook issue,

978
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: this is a this is an entire Internet issue. And

979
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Facebook is just one of

980
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: the bigger places it happens because oh they've got you know,

981
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: two point seven billion people on there. That's a lot

982
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: of people to hack, all right. Ross Craig writes in

983
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: Good Morning, Rich My wife received a low heart rate

984
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: notification from her Apple Watch Series six. Her heart rate

985
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: was down to thirty five beats per minute. We proceeded

986
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: to our hospital to the emergency room. She was hooked

987
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: up to an ECG or EKG. They noticed the issue

988
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: with her heart. The machine was going nuts. They came

989
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: in with the crash cart and had her hooked up

990
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: just in case she took a turn for the worse.

991
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: The cardiologist said she would need a temporary pacemaker. I

992
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: was in the room when they did this. The next

993
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: day she had a permanent pacemaker installed. Please have your

994
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: listeners seek medical attention if they're resting in their watch

995
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: gets a warning of a low or high heart rate.

996
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: We never thought to try out ECG on her watch.

997
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: Ross in Saint John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Wow, Ross,

998
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing that story. I know Ross is

999
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: a regular listener of the podcast, so I'm glad that

1000
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: you shared this. And it's scary, but I'm glad your

1001
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: wife got the help she needed. I'm glad that the

1002
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: Apple Watch did its job. But yes, this is a

1003
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: great reminder to set up these health features on your

1004
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: Apple Watch. You can go into the Apple Watch app

1005
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: on your iPhone and what I do, and this is

1006
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: what I do for everything, whether I'm a you know,

1007
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: I go through every single setting on every single device

1008
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: I have. Why because I want to see what's available

1009
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: to me. So on Apple Watch, I will just go

1010
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: through the Apple Watch app and just back out of

1011
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: every menu back in, go in, go out, go in,

1012
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: go out, and just follow every menu tree and just

1013
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,439
Speaker 1: see like, what does this thing do? What are these

1014
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: features that it has. I'll do the same thing when

1015
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: iOS fifteen comes out on the iPhone. I'll just go

1016
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: through and see what every single one of my options are.

1017
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: And the reason why you want to do that is

1018
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: because you may have set up this watch really fast

1019
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: and really, you know, without really paying attention. And now

1020
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: it's a year in and you may not have activated

1021
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: the heart rate notifications when you first set it up,

1022
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: or you may not have activated the activity feature or

1023
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: the noise feature. You know, the Apple Watch can tell

1024
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: you when you're in a loud environment that's gonna be

1025
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: too loud for your years and eventually hurt them. So

1026
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: go in and check out these features. And it's a

1027
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: good reminder to do that. I love the Apple Watch.

1028
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: I've said over and over. You know, it's going to

1029
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: be really tough for me when I go to the

1030
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: Pixel six later this year when that comes out. If

1031
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: I indeed switch, I've got to figure out a system

1032
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: where I can keep the Apple Watch and ideally keep

1033
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch with cellular, because the way I see

1034
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch with cellular, it's kind of like a

1035
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: life saving device because if I'm on a run and

1036
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: I fall and I can't call nine one one, the

1037
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: watch is going to do it for me. And that

1038
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: is some pretty powerful stuff. And this thing is just

1039
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: going to continue to get more powerful. It's already giving

1040
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: people alerts when their heart rate is too high or

1041
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: too low. It's already giving people notifications when the noise

1042
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: level is at a place that might do some irreparable

1043
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: damage to their ears. It's already at a place where

1044
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: if you fall and take a hard fall, it will

1045
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: call nine one one for you or text your family

1046
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: and friends. So this thing is amazing, and it really

1047
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: just keeps getting better, and to me, it's one of

1048
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: these things where I can't imagine my life without it

1049
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: because it's just so smart, and it's kind of like

1050
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: an extension of my body at this point, Like if

1051
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: I fall in a random place, hopefully there's cellular service,

1052
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: I will get help, hopefully because my Apple Watch will

1053
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: call for it. If I'm at a concert or in

1054
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: a and an environment that I don't realize is really loud,

1055
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 1: like I can shift and figure out how to keep

1056
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: myself safe. So it's an amazing, amazing device, And I

1057
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: thank you for your input, and I hope your wife

1058
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: gets healthy. Okay, let's get onto this last story before

1059
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: I go. But Rumba, their latest robotic vacuum, will not

1060
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,720
Speaker 1: how should we say, distribute pet waste all over your floor.

1061
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: And I'm being very kind when I do this, But

1062
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: apparently there's a problem with roomba's And I don't have

1063
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: a dog, but apparently with rumbas, they used to run

1064
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: over pet droppings and smear them over all over people's

1065
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: floors and you would come home to a real, real

1066
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: big mess, when the whole point of the roomba was

1067
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: to not have a mess when you came home. And

1068
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: I've noticed this with my Rumba, which I absolutely adore.

1069
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: It will go over cables and suck those up, and

1070
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: that's a problem. And I haven't gotten the deal with

1071
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: the dog stuff. But this thing otherwise is fantastic. But

1072
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: the new Rumba, the J seven plus, is the top

1073
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: of line vacuum. It comes in at about and fifty dollars,

1074
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: but it's got new software that now recognizes chords, which

1075
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: is amazing and pet waste, and so it will it

1076
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: will avoid these things at all costs. And if you

1077
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: look at this stuff that Rumba posted on their twitter,

1078
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: the CEO posted on his Twitter page, it's pretty funny, like,

1079
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they did it kind of tongue in chic,

1080
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: but they did. They made like a hundred pieces of

1081
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: pet poop and in different shapes and sizes and just

1082
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: it's so like Oh my gosh, Like, this is what

1083
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: they had to do. They had to teach the AI

1084
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: these little cameras in the rumba to recognize what it

1085
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 1: looks like and make sure that it doesn't run it over.

1086
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: And that's what they did. And so if you want

1087
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: a little chuckle, I'll put the link in the show notes.

1088
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: But it's it's pretty funny. I got a what's the

1089
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: guy here? It is Colin Angle. That's his name. Colin

1090
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: Ang is the uh I guess? Is he the CEO

1091
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: of Rumba. Yeah, CEO and founder of I Robot. Wow.

1092
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh I Robot, the company that runs Rumba. But anyway,

1093
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so if you get the new one. Now,

1094
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: for the rest of us that have older rumbas, the

1095
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: reality is that hopefully this will be built in eventually

1096
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: with a software update or trickle its way down to

1097
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: some of these cheaper rumbas. That is the hope. Oh

1098
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: listen to that sound music to my ears, maybe not
