WEBVTT - Will Facebook smart sunglasses have a bright future? 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.080 Apple sets a date for its next big event. Facebook 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.400 makes smart sunglasses that actually look pretty good. Amazon has 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.960 new smart TVs. Plus your tech questions Answered. What's going on? 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.799 I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.319 podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.240 you should know about. It's also the place where I 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.800 answer the questions you send me. I'm the tech reporter 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.519 at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. This show is 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:44.760 geared towards the tech. Well, how do I explain? It's 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.640 it's consumer tech, so you know, obviously it appeals to 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.839 people that are that are super into tech because they 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:52.959 want to hear how I answer these questions, and they 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.800 want to, you know, maybe pick up a thing or 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.680 two that maybe they don't even know about. But the 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.920 average person can listen to the show and really learned something, 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.560 and that's that's kind of always been the charge of 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.880 the show. I'm on TV in Los Angeles and other 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.040 cities around the nation, and so I get a lot 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.560 of emails from people. You know, it's just seeing me 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.240 on TV and saying, Hey, I'm gonna ask this random 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.920 dude a question about technology, and then they get really 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.479 surprised when I send them back an answer and that 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.640 becomes this podcast, and so it's a lot of fun. 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.400 You know, a lot of the questions are very much 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.240 similar that I get. I see the same ones over 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.160 the years, you know, dealing with Wi Fi, dealing with 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.640 account hacking, dealing with iPhone upgrades, dealing with iPhone versus Android, 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.119 dealing with the best cheap smartphone. So there's a lot 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.440 of like recurring themes that I get, which is but 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.720 a lot of people have, you know, even though their 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.480 situation is unique, it does, I guess, translate to a 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.800 lot of different people out there that are listening. So 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.360 that's the purpose of the show. Thanks for tuning in. 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.360 I've talked about this before, but more and more of 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.200 you are listening, which is really really nice, So thank 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.800 you for that. It feels good. It feels good to 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.040 know that people like this show they continue to listen 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.360 to it. And let's just get into the first big 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:16.080 story of the week. California. California Apple announced their special 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:20.640 event is happening on Tuesday, September fourteenth at ten am Pacific. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:27.280 The tagline is California Streaming and the invitation that they 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.800 sent to myself along with other journalists which really isn't 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.320 an invitation. Anyone can watch this on YouTube. So it's 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.200 not like the old days where I used to fly 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.560 up to San Francisco or San Jose or Coopertino or 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.400 wherever I would go. Apple in the past held their 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.400 events in assorted places all around San Francisco. You know, 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.880 these cool old theaters. Sometimes they were on campus, other 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.480 times they were just you know, they were everywhere convention centers. 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.880 Now they've you know, they've built their own Steve Jobs 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.560 Theater in Coupertino. They got to use it, I believe, 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.240 you know, you know, three times. Maybe we were up 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:08.079 there before COVID shut everything down. So that's the reality 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.160 of this. Oh sorry, I got I got spooked for 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.760 a second. I'm trying a new setup. I'm testing a 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.079 mobile setup with my mixer board here. So I've got 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.880 it connected to this little battery called an omni charge. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.880 And this omni charge thing is like the Rolls Royce 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:28.120 of portable batteries. It's twenty thousand million amps. It's got 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.240 a regular AC plug on it, then it has USB, 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.520 then it has USB C. Then it also has a 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.960 barrel port, which I think is for charging. And then 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.280 it has wireless on top. So if you want something 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.760 that just can power anything anywhere, even with a regular plug, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.880 this thing is really cool. A little upwards of one 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.440 hundred bucks, but it's so I'm testing plugging in my 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.360 mixture into this device to see if I can take 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.240 my show on the road, so to say, and not 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.360 need a plug wherever I go. And so I just 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.720 got spooked out because this the display went off on it. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.640 But I'm at eighty eight percent and I've been on 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.720 for four minutes, so I think we're good. And I 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.760 started at ninety percent. So I'm kind of seeing how 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:12.720 much battery this thing if it can get me through 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.240 a whole show, which hopefully it can. Anyway, if you 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.640 listen to the show, well you know I digress. So 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.239 let's get back to the Apple event September fourteenth, twenty 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:25.359 twenty one, happening at ten am Pacific. So, like past 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.359 events in the past year and a half, this is 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.760 going to be recorded. It doesn't seem to be live. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.719 It says broadcasting from Apple Park. It does not say 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.440 live streaming from Apple Park. So what's going to be 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.680 announced at this event? Obviously iPhone thirteen, we don't know 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.280 if that's going to be the exact name of it, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.760 but that's the model. Then we have the Apple Watch 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.760 Series seven. Those are the two things that we're pretty 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.599 much guaranteed to see during this event, and the rest 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.320 is all up in the air. There could be some 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.200 new AirPods they you know, since it's California streaming, I 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.520 have to imagine they're going to blend in something about 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.440 the Apple TV Plus service. I mean, why would they say. 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.760 I mean, maybe they're just making a joke California Streaming, 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:08.920 but I don't know. It seems like maybe Apple TV 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.839 Plus is in there. We haven't heard much from Apple 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.960 TV Plus in a while. So the iPhone thirteen, if 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.680 you're holding out for this at this point, obviously don't 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.800 buy a new smartphone, but if you're holding out for 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.560 the iPhone thirteen, doesn't seem to be a whole lot 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.320 different from the iPhone twelve, but same form factors. Basically, 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.400 they're going to use the same housing for these phones, 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.280 so you're gonna have the mini to the max. And 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:38.680 the main thing is faster chips. Mac rumor says faster 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.440 five G tech. I'm not sure what that means. They 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.520 say the biggest change will be the one hundred twenty 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.680 Hurtz Pro Motion display for the Pro Models, which would 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.880 be really cool. So that's smoother scrolling when you're on 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.440 things like Twitter and Facebook and all that good stuff. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.000 And then always on display has been a rumor. I 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.200 don't know that would be a huge I mean, I'll 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.920 just explain why I love always once because I miss 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.480 a lot of stuff. On my Pixel it's always showing 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.520 me the weather, the time, and my next appointment. And 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.640 on the iPhone, the screen I just call it dead 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.960 because it's just there, and I miss appointments all the 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.240 time because of this. Now you can blame that on me. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.200 You could say, Rich, well, you're you're lazy, You're not 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.560 that smart. You know, maybe you're just not really with it. 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:25.679 But I mean, yeah, sure I could take the blame. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.160 But I'm gonna blame it on my phone because that's 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.719 what I like to do. I like to place the 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:35.000 blame somewhere else. So my phone does not alert me, 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.200 and I've got the Apple Watch on and it gives 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.560 me the little notifications for meetings, like a half an 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.000 hour before and then ten minutes before, and I still 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.960 miss stuff. I don't know what happens here, it's like, 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.239 what is going on? So on my pixel you can't 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.280 miss it because it shows you the next meeting for 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.159 like so long and you just you know, your phone's 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.320 right next to you. So anyway, always on would be 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.640 really cool. As for the Apple Watch, apparently it's gonna 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.400 be a little flattered design look more like the iPhone 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.479 which iPhone design At this point, the iPhone twelve to 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.960 me has the perfect smartphone design. In fact, in the 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.280 year that is launched, I have not held a phone 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.080 that feels better in the hand than the iPhone twelve. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.320 So Apple did a really really nice job on that. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.080 That's pretty much it. I'm not going to go into 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.480 like all the rumors, but the bottom line is when 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.400 the new stuff comes out, the old stuff is either discontinued. 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.840 So there could be this scenario where the iPhone twelve 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.280 will no longer be available and it will be the 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.320 iPhone eleven and the iPhone thirteen. Sometimes they throw us 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.880 that loop, and I'm not a big fan of that, 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.360 but prices definitely come down for stuff in the past 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.400 because you know the reason why they do that is 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.600 because if you're sitting there in the Apple store and 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.000 you can go, well, I can get the iPhone twelve, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.160 or I can go iPhone thirteen. We'll all save money 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:53.960 and go iPhone twelve. They don't want you to do that. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.480 They want you to go with the newest, latest, greatest, 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.160 So they make you They put a little challenge in 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.440 your way. They say, well, you get your choice of 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.680 the iPhone eleven or the iPhone thirteen. You're like, oh gosh, 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.400 iPhone eleven it's like two years old. It's like, eh, 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:13.000 two year old smartphone. Oh no way, and so therefore 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.680 you spend more money on the iPhone thirteen. Anyway. Can't 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.760 wait to see what Apple launches. Should be exciting California 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.920 streaming September fourteenth, ten am Pacific. I will be there 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:29.600 virtually of course. All right, let's get to the first question. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.040 Dan said, a while back, you mentioned some of the 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.480 better free virus detectors for Mac computers. Any chance of 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.600 an update to that list? Thanks Dan and Carrie Illinois. Dan, 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.559 I use a website for this. Basically I always recommend 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:47.240 a vast or AVG, but apparently a vast I think 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.640 we talked about it in the show is being purchased 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.280 by Norton I'm not sure what that's going to do 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.240 to the quality of the antivirus. I'm sure in some 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.360 ways it'll be better. In some ways it'll be worse 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.600 because they're probably gonna try to sell you on more things. 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:03.800 But he's a website called avdashtest dot org and you 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:09.120 can look at the best anti virus for home business smartphones. Now, 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:13.280 I personally don't think you need antivirus on a Mac 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.400 computer at this point in time. But if you really 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.200 want to feel secure, then sure, go ahead. I just 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.960 don't think that you need it. I actually think that 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.760 people these days need more protection against social engineering hacks 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.359 than actual viruses, because we're kind of hip to viruses 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.479 that you know, Oh here's a PDF, open it up immediately, 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.760 and also run this macro so that we can take 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.160 over your system. Like most people don't fall well, maybe 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.120 some people do, but at this point, you know, we're 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.160 not really a lot of our stuff is being done 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.680 in the cloud, and it just doesn't have the same 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.600 amount of issues as it used to when we were 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.120 exchanging files all the time, and especially word documents and 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.400 stuff like that that might have macros that run that 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.720 take over your system or install spyware. So I just 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.200 don't think we need it, really, but if you want it, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.960 you can get it. But a vast is what they're 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:06.160 saying is their number one top pick for security for 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.680 mac os, So I would go with that for now, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.040 but I don't necessarily think you need it. And the 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.160 social engineering I was talking about really comes down to 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.400 things that get email to you and trick you, or 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.480 things that get texted to you and trick you, or 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.360 websites that try to trick you. That I think is 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.120 a much bigger problem and one that is not easily 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.160 solved by some of this antivirus. You can't antivirus could 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.160 maybe identify the website is a little bit odd, but 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.640 it can't keep you from putting your password in there 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.640 and then now being hacked. So that's what i'd recommend, 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.920 and a good question because people love their antivirus. That's 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.839 for sure. Big business this antivirus stuff. All right, let's 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.200 get to the next story. Facebook. Oh how appropriate that 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.640 I said story. Facebook has a new pair of smart 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:58.040 sunglasses called ray Band Stories. These are going on sale 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.839 for two hundred and ninety nine dollars and I have 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.560 not gotten mind just yet. Facebook is sending me a 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.360 reviewers unit. They sent them to everyone. You know, I've 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.120 realized that I'm on the B list or maybe even 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.000 C or D of these reviewer units. So it's fine. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.440 I've come to accept that. But that's you know, that's 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.040 just I'm happy to be on these lists, honestly, because 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.880 not everyone is. And so the fact that Facebook reached 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.959 out and said, hey, we can get you a pair 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.480 of these things if you'd like, if you'd want to 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.839 test them out, I say sure. And then the next 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.199 day I see that every reviewer in the world has 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.640 got them two weeks ago. So that's fine, but I'll 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.520 take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. So Facebook 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:42.360 ray Bands Stories they're called. So these are sunglasses that 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.480 actually look really cool. They look like normal or I 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.520 should say typical ray bands the wayfarers. They've got two 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.840 front facing cameras in them for capturing videos and photos. 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.079 Then they have this new app from Facebook called Facebook 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:00.560 View and so that app connects to the camera. You 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.319 can take pictures by saying Hey Facebook, which is another 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:08.480 yet another wake word. I'm gonna say, why aww, yet 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.440 another wake word. So now we have Hey Facebook, it'll 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.840 take a video or a picture. I'm not sure which one. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.439 I guess you can say, hey Facebook, take a video 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.680 or hey Facebook, take a picture. That's the extent of 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.439 that right now. But the cool thing is these clips 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.000 can be shared to any app on your phone, not 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.120 just Facebook or Instagram. And I'll be honest, like, I 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.640 think this is really really cool. And the way that 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:37.120 these look, the way that they function, I feel like 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:42.360 these could be the sunglasses that actually break through into mainstream. Now. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.559 I don't think it's gonna happen overnight, but for me personally, 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.920 I'm on so many stories. I'm on so many different 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:49.960 shoots and stuff, and I see a lot of cool 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.520 stuff and it takes a lot of work to sit 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:56.240 there and remember to Facebook or story or Instagram stories 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.080 or whatever. And I just don't do it because I 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.520 just forget and the to have these on all the 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.040 time and just kind of you know, tap at a 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.760 little shutter button on your temple and next thing you know, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.040 it records a little clip and then you can share 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.280 it later on. I think that's really cool. Now. The 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.080 other thing, quite honestly, that keeps me and I'm very 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.520 honest with you, because you're a listener of this podcast, 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.080 and I don't say all this stuff on TV, but 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.960 when you're listening ear to ear to what I'm saying, 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.440 I think that I have a responsibility to be, you know, 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.920 open and honest with you because you're spending all this 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:34.199 time listening to my voice. And so quite honestly, one 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.119 of the reasons I don't share so much on Instagram 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.720 Stories is I'm on TV. I'm a public figure. You know, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.320 probably not everyone likes me out there, and you know, 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.160 if I'm sitting there in real time sharing every restaurant 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.559 I'm eating at, or sharing every single place I'm at 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.800 in real time, there could definitely be some security concerns there. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.280 I don't think the average person has that. Perhaps they 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:59.080 do with an X that could be keeping watch over them, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.920 or you know, if some one is just I mean, 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.360 look at you. Think about how much information we put 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.280 on Instagram and Facebook these days. I mean, you can 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.480 see where or get an understanding of someone is in 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.800 almost near real time, so it is a concern. Anyway. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.840 I've talked about this thing where Instagram should really have 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.319 a delayed post feature where you can post in real time, 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.640 but it will just delay your post for you know, 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.120 twenty four hours. I mean, that would be perfect. You 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.520 don't have to do it for every post, but I 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.440 think that would be a really smart thing for them 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.560 to do, not just for engagement, because I think more 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.880 people would share if they knew that this was not 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.480 going to be shared for twenty four hours. And I 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.080 get it, Yes, there are some things you want to 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.360 share in the moment, but most things can wait. I mean, 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.680 if you're watching kind of a film reel off someone's life, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.640 like does it really matter if you see them in 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.040 that moment at that cool hotel in Miami or the 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.560 next day, it doesn't really matter, And depending on when 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.000 you look at the story, it could be twenty four 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:56.200 hours later anyway. So the reality is I think that 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.880 that would be a really cool way to drive engagement 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.040 and also make people feel a little bit more secure, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.000 And especially with these glasses coming out, because if I 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.200 had a delayed post feature, I would probably post like 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.720 everything I do, because why not, it's kind of fun 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:15.720 to share. So these glasses, if they're reminding you of Spectacles, 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.920 which are from Snapchat, Yes, now I tested Spectacles and 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.200 I will tell you they were not my cup of tea. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.560 They only worked with Snapchat, and yeah, you could export 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.480 the video and post it to other apps, but it 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.440 wasn't very easy and they didn't look very good. They 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.400 looked very like these are glasses with a camera in them, 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.240 and I think Snapchat was going for that, but I 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.680 think that really kind of burned them in the end, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.000 because no one wants to wear those. These look like 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.720 regular sunglasses, and in fact, people may not realize that 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.800 they are cameras. So the other cool thing about these 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.760 is that they've got Bluetooth built in, so you can 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.960 take calls, you can listen to music or podcasts, and 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.320 from what I remember with the Echo frames from Amazon, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.160 I loved that ambient audio feature. Just being able to 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.760 listen to music without my ears being plugged up or 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.200 being able to take phone calls was really cool. Except 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.600 in the case of those glasses, they were just window glasses, 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.920 so it wasn't really something that I wanted to wear 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.960 when I didn't need to be wearing glasses. So these 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.880 are sunglasses, which I wear a lot. I live in 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.320 Los Angeles and so these I'm very very excited for. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.800 These five megapixel camera on These things can capture. According 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.880 to the Verge, over three dozen thirty second video clips 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.040 or five hundred photos before the memory fills up and 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.160 you know it's a battery. And also some lights to 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.840 indicate that you're recording or when you need to to 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.800 charge these things. And so again, I don't think the 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.160 audio and video quality on these are going to be 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.400 the best. You know, this is miniature stuff that is 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.280 very first generation, so I think it's going to get better. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.920 But from what I saw on Instagram a couple of 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.200 the people Joshua Vagara that shared some one of these 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.960 influencers that I follow, I thought the video quality that 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.160 he shared looked awesome. I mean, I thought it looked great, 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.920 and it looks really fun. He was like taking the 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.480 glasses off, turning him around, looking at himself. I mean, 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.680 I thought it was really cool. So anyway, two hundred 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.680 and nine and nine dollars available right now. I will 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.159 have more on them in the future when I get 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:20.240 to test them out. Batteries holding steady at eighty five percent, well, 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.639 I guess it's not really holding steady, but batteries at 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.639 eighty five percent and we're yeah, about a quarter of 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.600 the way through, So that's pretty good, Nina writes in Hello, 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.160 do you have any suggestions for transferring eight millimeters videotapes 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.119 to digital files. The camera they were shot on is 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.919 no longer working, Thank you, Nina, Nina. I did a 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.399 story on this many years ago on KTLA and I 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.000 transferred a bunch of my stuff. It is. It is 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.280 a long process. It's not quick, and it's not easy. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.720 And a lot of times, like you said, the camera 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.000 that you have, you no longer have access to, or 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.760 it doesn't work, or it's just not very good. And 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.159 so I think that doing it yourself is fun and 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.479 it's in you know, it's an easy DIY. I mean, 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.399 maybe not easy, but it's a it's a DIY that 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.960 you can do and accomplish because it's not overly complicated. 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.120 You basically get one of these devices which i'll mention, 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.720 you connect your camera or your video player to it, 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.800 and then you record on your computer. And then the 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.119 toughest part is actually the files, like whether you trim 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.880 them or chop them or whatever you do, but toss 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.119 them all in Google Photos no matter what, because it 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.600 identifies the people inside those photos and even the places 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.520 in the videos, sorry I should say in the videos. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.760 And so it's it's really, really powerful stuff, and so 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.720 I can go and check out all the photos of 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.359 my grandma, you know, even though I didn't even know 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.399 she was in some of these birthday party videos, but 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.920 there she is, you know, So that's really neat. Okay. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.920 Two I tested were el Gato Video Capture for Mac 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.639 and the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD three for PC. 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.359 Both of these are pretty much the same. They are 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.919 a dongle that you plug in via us BE to 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:02.080 your computer and then you use the little cables I 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:06.960 think they're called RCA cables to plug in your video player. Now, 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.159 you said that your cam quorder no longer works, So 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.040 what I would recommend for that eight millimeter is I 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.880 would go on eBay and you can buy a cam quarder. Now, 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:16.879 before you do that, I would just talk to some 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:18.920 family and friends. That's what I did, and you can 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.320 borrow one of these. Someone's got it laying around the 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.800 house and oh, yeah, I've got that. So I borrowed 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.760 a VCR from my father in law and I borrowed 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.679 a trying to remember where did I get the VHS camera? 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.920 Was it? I don't remember? The sorry, the whatever camera 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.480 I used? I use an eight millimeter and I don't 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.760 really remember where I got it. I think maybe I 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.439 bought it on Amazon. I can't remember. Sorry, on eBay, 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.000 I can't remember. But anyway, they're both back to their 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.159 rightful owners. So yeah, I'm trying to remember where I 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.359 got the camera. Anyway, That's what i'd recommend now, if 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.520 you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, if you feel 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:53.080 like a I don't want to deal with this, I 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.280 don't know how to do it, I would just recommend 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:59.000 going on Yelp and you can find someone that will 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.760 do this near you. And so all I would do 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.440 is type in VHS and even if you just type 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.440 that in the AI will take over and it should 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:12.479 Let's see, if I type VHS, it'll immediately VHS to digital, 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.919 VHS to DVD. You type VHS to digital and you 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:19.879 will find all kinds of places near you. So my 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:21.920 thing is that I don't really want to send these 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:26.439 out because these are my precious video tapes, and so 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.879 I want these done locally, and I want them at 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:30.639 a place where I can bring them in. And so 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.880 you will find people that you know, someone just has 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.000 a little you know, camera shop or a video production 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.000
