00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: going to talk about that, plus his favorite tech tools,

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: and we've got the co creators of the Kinny. This

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: is a really interesting little gadget. It's a wireless motion sensor.

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: And before you think, okay, I've got that from my

22
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: smart home, this is a little bit different and it's

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: very unique and there are some really interesting use cases.

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: So we will have the creators of the Kinnion a

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. So many things happening.

26
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: This week's theme is summertime. I know my kids are

27
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: out for the summer. Lots of kids getting out for

28
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: the summer, so it is in full motion. Summer is

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: in full swing here. Lots of things happening. Apple's WWDC

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Worldwide Developers Conference will happen this week, so it kicks

31
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: off on Monday with a keynote. And the big rumor

32
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: right now is that Apple is linking up with Open Ai,

33
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: the makers of Chat GPT, to somehow make Siri smarter.

34
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Now we are not sure how that's gonna happen exactly,

35
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: but that is the big rumor. Whether it's going to

36
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: be just Chat GBT built into the iPhone or the

37
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: AI smarts. But I think people are ready for this.

38
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: This is what Steve Jobs imagined when he came up

39
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: with Siri, a smart assistant that can help you do

40
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: anything on your phone. And over the years we've seen

41
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: many of them. We've seen Quartana from Microsoft, we have

42
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: seen Bixby from Samsung, we have seen the Google Assistant,

43
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: which has now evolved into Gemini and Siri can do

44
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things and it's gotten smarter over the years,

45
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: but it hasn't really reached that sort of personal assistant level.

46
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: So we will see if Apple really makes a big

47
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: change with the iPhone. Spoiler alert, I don't want to

48
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: say that this stuff isn't gonna happen soon, but even

49
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: if they announce something next week, we're not going to

50
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: see any changes until at least September, and potentially some

51
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: of the rumors are saying twenty twenty five. So we

52
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: will see. I know the iPhone nothing changes quickly with that,

53
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: but I'm excited to see what's going to happen there.

54
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Just sent out the newsletter on the website rich on

55
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: tech dot tv. Two travel sites I mentioned in the

56
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: newsletter this week. I'll mention them here because if you

57
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: haven't signed up for the newsletter, go to rich on

58
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: tech dot tv, hit the sign up button and it

59
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: will arrive in your inbox. But two sites I mentioned

60
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: this week. The first one is called Points. Yeah, so

61
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: there is a website if you've got points, you know

62
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: from your credit card or your frequent flyer programs or

63
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: your hotel programs. You may be figuring out how to

64
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: use those and how to make the most of them.

65
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of times where let's say you

66
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: have points on Delta, they may transfer to another program

67
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: and that program may have a cheaper redemption rate than

68
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: what Delta has. So real frequent flyers know that they

69
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: don't just check the airline or the program that they

70
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: have points with. They check all the different programs so

71
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: that they can see which ones might be the cheapest

72
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: use of their points or the maximum value of their points.

73
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: And so I've told you this before. I don't play

74
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: the points game in a big way, but yes I

75
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: do have points, and of course I want to use them.

76
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I end up not using them because I'm always worried

77
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: about not getting the best value out of them, and

78
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: so when I do use them, I try to make

79
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: the most out of them. And so this website points Yeah,

80
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: is completely free and it lets you search through all

81
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: these different programs. They have a whole bunch of them

82
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: on there, all of the credit card programs, all of

83
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: the airline programs, or a lot of the majority of

84
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: the big airline programs, a lot of the hotel programs,

85
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: and what's different about this site than some of the

86
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: other ones is that the results are quick, so they'll

87
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: be delivered to your screen at about twenty seconds. The

88
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: other one I like is called point me. The search

89
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: can take a couple of minutes to complete, so that's

90
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: what's really neat about this one. You can search across

91
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: four days. So let's say you wanted to travel on Wednesday.

92
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: You can search a couple of days on either side

93
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: of that for free to see if maybe you left

94
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: on Thursday. It's half the points. And if you upgrade

95
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: to a paid membership, which you don't have to, but

96
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: if you do, you can search I think for eight

97
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: days on either side, so total of like sixteen days going.

98
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: And you know by the time anyway, there's a lot

99
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: of search on this website. It's very cool. It's just

100
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: something to bookmark when you're looking for your hotels or

101
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: flights this summer points Yeah Dot And you know, if

102
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: you listen to the show that everything I mentioned on

103
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: the show I link up on the website rich on

104
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: tech dot TV. Hit the light bulb icon on the

105
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: website at the top, and that will bring you to

106
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: real time links to everything I mentioned. All right now.

107
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: The next one is if you don't like, if you're

108
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: not the best flyer right, if you're kind of a

109
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: person who's a little scared of the turbulence, and we've

110
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: seen a lot more. I don't know, it seems like

111
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot more turbulence, at least in the news.

112
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: But this is a website called turbly t r bli

113
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: dot com got this through the Point Sky and they

114
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: mentioned this website that lets you check the turbulence forecast

115
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: for your flight. So if you type in a flight,

116
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: so let's say I type in from LAX to EWR,

117
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: which is a common flight that I take, gives you

118
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: a listing of all the different flights United Jet Blue Alaska.

119
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: You tap on your flight and then it will tell

120
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: you what the turbulence forecast is. And not just the

121
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: turbulence forecast, but there's all kinds of other stuff. Tells

122
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: you the route, tells you if it's going to be bumpy,

123
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: tells you if the tailwind is going to be strong

124
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: so that means you might arrive earlier. Tells you if

125
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: there's thunderstorms along the way, and if the takeoff and

126
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: landing is going to be smooth because it tells you

127
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: how much wind is on the landing. I was in

128
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: a landing I think it was in either Japan or China,

129
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: and it was so windy. I mean, we were just

130
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: bouncing all around on the landing like I was like,

131
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: are we gonna land this thing or what? But I

132
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: do put a lot of faith in these amazing pilots

133
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: that fly these planes. They know what they're doing. We

134
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: do not. And I know that whenever there's turbulence, what

135
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: do you do? The best is when you're sitting next

136
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: to like a pilot that is off. You know, they're

137
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: just like in the seat next to you or something,

138
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: and when you see that turbulence, you just kind of

139
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: look over at them and they're just like it doesn't

140
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: even phase them. You're like, all right, everything's good. Also,

141
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure you look at the flight attendants to see

142
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: like if they're having a reaction. That's always kind of

143
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: like the main thing. Bobo's getting his mic ready? Do

144
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: you have you have thoughts on this? Do you do?

145
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: You?

146
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: Are you the kind that looks at the flight attendant?

147
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna say those sound like first class problems

148
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: because I've never sit next to another pilot. No, that

149
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: that's the thing. They don't get to sit in first class.

150
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, they get if you watch the pilots, like

151
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: the the off duty pilots and flight attendants. They literally

152
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: get the last seat on the plane, so they're on standby.

153
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Literally they have to board last. After every single revenue

154
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: seat gets on. They get on. So it doesn't happen often,

155
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: but I've seen it, and they're never I mean they're

156
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: never in first. You would think they would give that first,

157
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, Row one C A and uh yeah. By

158
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: the way, it is my dream to fly first. I

159
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: don't fly first most of the time. You don't know

160
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: I fly. I am. I am like Rick Steve. I'm

161
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: Rick Steve's I'm just fine with an aisle seat. Yes,

162
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: I like the economy plus if I can get it

163
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: with the little extra leg room that part. But I'm fine.

164
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm totally I can go anywhere. I can go anywhere

165
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: and first obviously live flat is amazing. But no, I'm

166
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: a I'm a you know, I'm an easy flyer. I

167
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: really like. My thing is like save the money so

168
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: that you can spend it when you get there, because

169
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: if you're spending all that money on, you know, an

170
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: upgraded seat. Then you know it's just less money to

171
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: spend when you get they're only in the plane for

172
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: a couple hours. I mean, it's funny. You're the second

173
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: person to ask me that in two days. So I

174
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: guess I give off that first class flying vibe. But

175
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: you're rich, Demiro, why wouldn't you be first class? It's expensive.

176
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: It's too expensive even I don't care. It's just unless

177
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: your company is paying for it. Yes, the only times

178
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: i've I've flown it is when I'm either taking some

179
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: sort of upgrade or I have like a corporate, you

180
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: know company that's paying for it. But otherwise you'll just

181
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: see me and coach. All right, let me give you

182
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: a review of some earbuds that I really like. These

183
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: are the nothing earbuds. So I test a lot of

184
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: ear buds, especially on the plane. That's that's my main

185
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: place to test these things, to see how the noise

186
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: cancelation works. And ninety nine percent of the time I

187
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: put the earbuds in my ears and I take them

188
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: out after twenty minutes. Don't even like them. They go

189
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: on the shelf and they're done. I'm not gonna recommend them,

190
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: but the nothing earbuds are excellent. They make two versions,

191
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: the nothing Ear and the nothing Ear A. The EARA

192
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: are the budget models. They start at ninety nine dollars.

193
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: The nothing Ear is one hundred and fifty dollars. Both

194
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: of these models have a great fit, they're comfortable, the

195
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: audio is excellent. They have a unique design. They've got

196
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: active noise cancelation and transparency mode, and even a fun

197
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: little audio I don't know chime when you switch between

198
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: the different modes, whether it's transparency or noise cancelation. They've

199
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: got fast charging. Ten minutes of plugging in will give

200
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: you ten hours of playback. If you've got the case,

201
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: you get almost forty hours of playback because the case

202
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: also charges them. It's got all of the premium stuff,

203
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: so the pinch controls on the stems, the sensors that

204
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: pause and play music when you insert them or remove

205
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: them from your ears. They've got good water and dust resistance.

206
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: They're just really great earbuds. So if you're looking for

207
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: a pair of earbuds for an Android phone, I highly

208
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: recommend these earbuds. Now, why do you go with the

209
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: premium ones? They offer a wireless charging case and a

210
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: customized sound profile. So if you want the absolute best

211
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: sound from Nothing, pay the extra fifty bucks go with

212
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: the Nothing ear But otherwise the Nothing ear a are excellent,

213
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: and they've got this great yellow color that they come in.

214
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: They also come in black and white if you're not

215
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: that adventurous, but I love the yellow color. It looks

216
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: like something that would float if you threw it in

217
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: the water. It's a great, great set of earbuds. If

218
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: you've got a Nothing phone, which I don't think you have,

219
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: but if you did, you'd be able to set chat

220
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: GPT as your default voice assistant when you use these earbuds,

221
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: which is also really cool. Now you might be saying, Rich,

222
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: what about iPhones? Should I buy these if I have

223
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: an iPhone? Yes, you can buy them and they will

224
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: will absolutely work if you have an iPhone. But here

225
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: is the thing, why would you not get what works

226
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: with Apple's ecosystem, which are their own AirPods. That way

227
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: you get access to Siri. That's why I like the

228
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: Nothing buds for the Android phones the most. All right,

229
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: coming up, I also have my review of the Google

Speaker 1: mentioned some handy travel sites. If you want to email me,

Speaker 1: just hit the contact link up at the top. Like

240
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: I said, we're playing all summer songs today. It is

241
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: a summer travel season. I've got no less than two

242
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: people today, friends that texted or emailed me asking for

243
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: recommendations on a good portable battery charger for their phone, right,

244
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: like a portable battery that you can bring along with

245
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: you on your trip. So I've got these linked up

246
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: on my website rich on Tech dot tv. There is

247
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: a link on the side if you scroll down, it

248
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: says shop and that'll bring you to my Amazon page.

249
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: And the ones that I recommend the most are Anchor

250
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: a n K er. They make them in a couple

251
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: of different ways. You can get like a mag safe

252
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: one that will actually just magnetically attached to the back

253
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: of your phone. That's great, but it's going to charge

254
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: your phone slower than one that you plug in, and

255
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: it's also going to be a little bit more expensive.

256
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: So if you want something that you plug in which

257
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: anyone can use, they've got a great one. It's about

258
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: thirty dollars for that. The thing to look for, there's

259
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: a couple of different things. There's also one that plugs

260
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: into the bottom of your phone that's cheaper, but it's

261
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: going to have less of a charge. And then they've

262
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: got one that is it's got like a little display

263
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: on it so it can tell you how much of

264
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: a charge it has, because most of these just typically

265
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: have a couple of lights on them that lets you

266
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: know how much of a charge you get, roughly like

267
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty five, fifty, seventy five or one hundred percent when

268
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: that thing's charge. The main things to look for the

269
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: millionamp hours, So the higher the number, the more charges

270
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: you're going to get. So let's say a typical smartphone

271
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: has about a battery that's almost let's say four to

272
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: five thousand millionp hours, So if you get one of

273
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: these chargers, that's ten thousand MILLIONMP hours that's going to

274
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: recharge your phone twice. If you get one that's twenty

275
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: thousand million AMP hours, that's probably going to charge your

276
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: phone about four times. So again, let's just say five

277
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: thousand millionp hours one charge on your phone, So every

278
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: five thousand you're going to get an extra charge. Most people,

279
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: you probably don't need the twenty thousand. I'd say for

280
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: an average day, you might want the ten thousand. Five

281
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: thousand's going to give you, you know, maybe one and

282
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: a half charges. The other thing to look for is

283
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: USBC in and out. So a lot of these the

284
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: cheaper ones have sort of the older style USB A

285
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: that lets you plug in your cable that's going to

286
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: charge your phone a lot slower, and when you're on

287
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: the go and you're out and about, you want to

288
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: charge your phone as fast as possible because you want

289
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: to take this thing off your phone and use your

290
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: phone again. So I would look for one that has

291
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: USBC in and out. So read the descriptions very closely.

292
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: If you're buying one of these things on any website,

293
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: make sure that you can charge it with USBC and

294
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: you can charge your phone with USBC from it. Those

295
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: are the main things to look for. But yeah, get

296
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: a portable charger for your summer vacations. Let's go to

297
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: Keith in andover Kansas. Keith, you're on with Rich.

298
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: Very much. It's very nice to visit with you. I

299
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: just wanted to say you have a real nice rapport

300
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: with people, and I really appreciate all the help that

301
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: you have provided.

302
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you.

303
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: Well.

304
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: I worked in the healthcare feel for forty years and

305
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: it's nice to speak to people that are genuine and humble,

306
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 3: So thank you.

307
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate that. What can I help you with?

308
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: I've used the free versions of the chat GPTs and

309
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: claud and so forth, Gemini one point five. And the

310
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: two questions I have is is it we're spending twenty

311
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: dollars a month for one of these? And since I

312
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: don't want to pay twenty dollars a month for each,

313
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: which one of these would you recommend?

314
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to come up to the break here,

315
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: so I want to know from you what are you

316
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: using these for? What's your main goal with these ais?

317
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: Okay, research, Bible study, medical questions, and general information about history.

318
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so you got a couple of good

319
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: use cases there. The main thing is that you don't

320
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: really need to pay for these, because at least for

321
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: Chat GPT, they are giving away their latest model, which

322
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: is Chat GPT four to oh for free. But what's

323
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna happen is you are gonna run up against a limit,

324
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: and that is the biggest thing you're up against. So

325
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: when you're paying that twenty dollars a month, you will

326
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: get much more use out of these on a daily

327
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: basis than you would if you were not paying that

328
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month. We're gonna come back. I'll talk

329
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: more about these AI systems, So hang on the line there,

330
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: Keith eighty to eight rich one oh one eight eight

331
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. I'll

332
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: tell you my picks for the best AI coming up

333
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: after the break. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

334
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology at triple

335
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: eight rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight seven

336
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: four to two, four one zero one. If you have

337
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: a question or comment for the show, you can go

338
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: to the website rich on Tech dot tv hit the

339
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: link that says contact. If you want to link to

340
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: something I mentioned, just go to the website and hit

341
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: the light bulb icon before the break we had Keith

342
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: and Kansas ask about the best use of these AI systems.

343
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: He wants to do research, he wants to look up

344
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: medical questions, I believe he said, Bible study, and a

345
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: couple of other things. So he was wondering should he

346
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: pay the twenty dollars a month and which one is

347
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: best for him. So you've got a couple of different

348
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: choices out there. You've got Gemini, which is Google's AI.

349
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: Then you've got chat GPT, which obviously has become like

350
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: Kleenex that's like a brand name for AI at this point.

351
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: Then you've got Claude, which is another AI that's really good.

352
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: And you've got Mistroll, which is out of Europe, which

353
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: is actually surprisingly great, Like I thought it was going

354
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: to be much more like European Focus, but it's actually

355
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: really good. And you've got one called Perplexity, and you've

356
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: got Copilot, which is from Microsoft. So you've got a

357
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of choices out there. Let me break them down

358
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: for you. So number one, Gemini from Google, I think

359
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: is a great AI because it is loaded with the

360
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: information that Google has, and that's real time information. So

361
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: if you're doing research, if you're looking for historical information,

362
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: something that is factual. Gemini is really good because not

363
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: only does Google have in place very strict standards for

364
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: what they write into this chatbot, they have all the information,

365
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: They've got the Knowledge Panel, they have all the stuff

366
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: that they've been doing for many years, just now they

367
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: kind of translated that into a chatbot. So Gemini, I think,

368
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: is a great, great choice if you're looking for real

369
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: time information and factual information. Chat GBT is great kind

370
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: of all around. So if you are just looking to

371
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: chat with someone or something, or you just want to

372
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: talk back and forth, or you just want some general information,

373
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: chatchbt is great. The problem is it is not completely

374
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: up to date in many aspects, so unless you're paying

375
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: it may not surf the web and find those answers.

376
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes it will, but chatchbt is kind of a generalist, right,

377
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: It's going to have just a lot of general knowledge,

378
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: and if you want to kind of use that, it's

379
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: a great It's very polished, it's very smart, it's witty,

380
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: it's silly. I mean, there's so many uses of it

381
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: because that's probably the one that people are using the most,

382
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: so it is evolving the fastest. Then you've got Claude,

383
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: Claude dot ai. This is one of my favorites, but

384
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: Claude is. Oh and by the way, I should mention

385
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: that chatchibt can also do a lot of things with

386
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: images as well. If you're paying for it, it can

387
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: create images. Now actually, I think even if you're not

388
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: paying for it, you can create images for that as well,

389
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: So it can be used to generate images. Oh, I

390
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: forgot Meta has got theirs now too. Meta Ai. Claude

391
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: is great if you're working with any sort of text,

392
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: so you can throw a PDF in there, you can

393
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: throw a long document into there, and Claude is really

394
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: good at handling those long documents. So if you're looking

395
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: to summarize something, or you have a bunch of information

396
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: you want to organize it, Claude dot ai is really

397
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: good for that. You know, it doesn't have access to

398
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: the Internet, so you can't really ask it to look

399
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: up things. Of course, it has a basic amount of

400
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: knowledge just like all these other ones, but it doesn't

401
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: have that live access to the Internet. But Claude is.

402
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: I find it to be really really good if you're

403
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: doing anything with writing, if you're doing anything with your resume,

404
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: if you're doing anything that requires rewriting or summarizing. It

405
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: is really great at that. Let's see perplexity AI. I

406
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: one hundred percent love this app, and I love it

407
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: for one reason. It's got this great feature that kind

408
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: of gives you a book report on anything you ask

409
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: it about. So if you ask a sample question like

410
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: how do earthquakes occur, it shows you the sources that

411
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: it uses to actually come up with its answer, and

412
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: it comes up with a very nice, what I call

413
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: book report answer. So if you want quote unquote a

414
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: book report answer on a topic or anything, perplexity ai

415
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: is excellent. I've got it on my home screen on

416
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: my phone, and I specifically love what they do called discover,

417
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: So every day they have the hottest topics kind of

418
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: trending out there in the world, and it gives you

419
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: a little book report about those topics. And if you're

420
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: looking to learn something, let's say you want to learn

421
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: about a team or the history of something. It's such

422
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: a great way to learn the history of something because

423
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: it gives you these great little reports. And again, all

424
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: of these services that I'm talking about, they all offer

425
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: a free level of service, but then you can pay

426
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: that usually is about twenty bucks a month for that

427
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: elevated service which is going to give you unlimited answers,

428
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: unlimited access, and maybe some extras. And so I do

429
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: pay for Chat GBT. I have paid for Claude in

430
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: the past. I kind of bop back and forth between

431
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: those two for paying because claud is really great for

432
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: all the research and work that I need to do

433
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: with with documents. But Chat GBT I just got it

434
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: because of the new voice system that they are going

435
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: to be implementing soon, which lets you talk back and

436
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: forth almost like a real human. Now, when it comes

437
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: to a good overall system, Microsoft's Copilot is really good.

438
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: When it comes to surfing the web. The thing that

439
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: you need to know is that they're using BING search results,

440
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: which you know may be good, maybe bad, it depends.

441
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: Bing is still out there, it's still a contender. Just

442
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't necessarily use it. But that's

443
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: where Copilot from Microsoft gets a lot of their information,

444
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: and it does have access to that real time information

445
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: from being So that's an option, and it's built into

446
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: a lot of the Windows. A lot of the new

447
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: ones have or all of the new ones have the

448
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: Copilot key on there, so you can just tap that

449
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: on your keyboard. It's right next to the space bar

450
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: and that will bring up copilot. And that's really good.

451
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: And then the new one on the block that I

452
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: get a lot of angry emails about is meta AI.

453
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: So Meta AI is built into Instagram, it's built into WhatsApp,

454
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: it's built into Facebook. A lot of people are asking

455
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: me if you can turn that off, and the answer

456
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: is no. It is at the top of your screen.

457
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: And again this it's actually not that bad. Like I

458
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: know people are hating on it, but let's think about it.

459
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: Facebook has used all of the posts that we have

460
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: made on Facebook and Instagram for the past I don't know,

461
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty years or so to program their AI. So they

462
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: know how people talk, they know how people comment, they

463
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: know how people discuss topics, they know what's interesting to people,

464
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: and so their AI is actually quite good. And it

465
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: does give you sources and it uses Google for a

466
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: lot of its search. So I just did a search

467
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: for or a recent search I did was I was

468
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 1: looking for a great burger place in Redmond where I

469
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: was staying up for the Microsoft event, and it gave

470
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: me one, two, three, four, five places that was good

471
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: for a burger, and it tells me where it got

472
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: that information. Now, some of this information is, you know,

473
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: a trip Advisor, an apartment complex up there, and then

474
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: Uber eats. So I don't know if that that's that great,

475
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: but it also helps you search Google for that information

476
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: as well. So those are my kind of main kind

477
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: of talking points about each one of them. The Wall

478
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: Street Journal also did sort of an independent review of

479
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: each one of these. They came up with best Overall.

480
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: Chat gibt Oh they sorry, they said, did not lead

481
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: an overall performance despite its update. Oh that's the other

482
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: thing I like about chat GBT remembers your preferences. I

483
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: was just telling my wife this, you can teach it things.

484
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: So what I do is with chat GBT, I teach

485
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: it and it remembers that. So if you say, hey,

486
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: remember when I say this that I want you to

487
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: do that, it will remember. So that's also a plus

488
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: of chat GBT. Claude there, Yeah, Claude. They say strength

489
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: designed to be inoffensive, which, yes, Claude is supposed to

490
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: be a little bit friendlier than a lot of these.

491
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: Copilot good at creative writing. Let's see Gemini from Google

492
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: Access to real time data. That's what I just said, perplexity,

493
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: research Focus cites it sources. Wow. Wall Street Journal just

494
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: said exactly pretty much what I said. Okay, so they

495
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: say summary, health advice, best chat, GBT, that's scary, finance, Gemini,

496
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: cooking chat GBT, work, perplexity, creative writing, copilot, summarization, perplexity,

497
00:26:54,640 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: current events, perplexity, coding perplexity, that's interesting, speed CHATCHYBT. So again,

498
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: I think the main thing to know about paying for

499
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: these is try them out, see what you like, see

500
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: what the limitations are, because if you're not using it

501
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: in a big way, you don't necessarily need to pay

502
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: for these things, because now the name of the game

503
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: is they're giving a lot of this away for free

504
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: in hopes of getting that user base, and then eventually

505
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: they figure more paid features will come. Well, Keith, I

506
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: think you get the award for the longest answer ever

507
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: to a question on this show. So thanks for that question.

508
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully you've got some some clarity now on what to

509
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: use there eight eight eight rich one oh one eight

510
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

511
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: My name is rich Dedmuro. You are listening to rich

512
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: on Tech Welcome back to Rich on tech. Rich DeMuro

513
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you talking technology at triple eight

514
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: Rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four to

515
00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. Let's go to Rockston in Ventura, Roxton.

516
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: You're on with Wretch.

517
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 5: Thanks for taking my call, Rich. That's calling about it

518
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 5: a Motorola phone that's been acting up. It's a new

519
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 5: phone that I got from Pure Talk Mobile and it

520
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: took him three months to pour it over from the

521
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 5: AT and T landline. The landlines are going away, is

522
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 5: why I got the phone. I was also told that

523
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 5: it had a mobile hotspot and I could use it

524
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 5: to hook up the iPad and do my video conferences

525
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 5: with my doctors at the West la VA. And the

526
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 5: problem with the phone, the first problem is it doesn't

527
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 5: let me answer incoming calls. You know, I'm supposed to

528
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 5: sweep up to answer and sweep down to decline, and

529
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 5: it won't do that, and also won't take a fingerprint

530
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 5: for ID for lockedout. And it shuts off the sound

531
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: occasionally and right in the middle of talking, in the

532
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 5: middle of a conversation.

533
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: What type of phone is this?

534
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: This is a Motorola, a Moto G.

535
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: It's a G five okay, Motorola G five, and so

536
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: did this start when you got it?

537
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: Yes?

538
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 5: Yes, I got it, and it has never worked right

539
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 5: since I got it, and I have been having difficulty

540
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: getting any helpful information from the Pure Talk mobile people.

541
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 5: They had a two week policy on returns, and I

542
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 5: had it for three months. It wasn't ported over for

543
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 5: three months from AT and T and I don't know why.

544
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 5: I guess somebody on one end or the other dropped

545
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 5: the ball there.

546
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: Has it worked properly ever?

547
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: No?

548
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so from day one it has not worked properly.

549
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: It's right, okay. Well, the only thing I could say

550
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: to do is, well two things. I think the main

551
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: thing you need to do is to factory reset this

552
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: phone and try again. So it sounds like, you know,

553
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: the swiping and all that like, none of this stuff.

554
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't think any of it is a unless it's

555
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: a hardware defect, which you're mentioning too many things that

556
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: seem like they're all kind of unrelated. I mean, the screen.

557
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: There could be a problem with the screen if it's

558
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: not swiping and the fingerprint readers not working, but that

559
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't really explain the sound not going on sometimes so

560
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, and it could be that the sound is

561
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: being manipulated by the volume rocker. You know, sometimes you're

562
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: adjusting volume. It could be adjusting the volume of the sound.

563
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: But what I would do is personally, I know this

564
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: a little complicated, but I would go into the settings

565
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: and I would format this phone, like so there's a

566
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: setting that says factory reset, and so that's what I

567
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: would do. And you would have to set this thing

568
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: up from the beginning. And so that means signing into

569
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: your Google account, your phone number and everything will still

570
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: stay there, but it would mean signing into your Google

571
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: account and then starting over signing in and then setting

572
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: up this phone fresh. Now, if you still have problems

573
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: after you are able to do that, and you may

574
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: need to enlist the help of someone that knows what

575
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: they're doing to help you along with this. But once

576
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: you do that, if the phone is still having the

577
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: same exact issues, then you got to push on Motorola

578
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: to get a replacement or Pure Talk to get a replacement,

579
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: to just you know, tell them, hey, look, this hasn't

580
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: worked since day one, and just what can you do?

581
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, I know they're gonna have to make an

582
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: exception to the rule of two weeks. But you know,

583
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you spent on this phone,

584
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: but it might just be the easiest thing to do

585
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: is just to convince them to give you a new one.

586
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: You're staying as a customer. They're really just swapping out

587
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: a device. They're going to see what's wrong with it

588
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: and just give you another one. It's not that big

589
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: of a deal. I don't know how expensive this phone

590
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: is because I can't get a price on it on

591
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: the website, but I think that that will probably be

592
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: just fine. But that's what I would do. Format it

593
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: and start over and see if it still gives you

594
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: those issues. And if it does, then you got to

595
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: convince someone to get you new one oh one time payment.

596
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: So it's about a two hundred and fifty dollars phone.

597
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: This is not that expensive of a phone. So someone

598
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: whether it's Motorola, they've probably got a one year warranty

599
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: on this. You could probably at least get a refurbished

600
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: model from them if you swap it out. UH, keep

601
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: me posted, go on the website, give me an update.

602
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: Roxton appreciate the call today eight eight eight Rich one

603
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: oh one eight eight eight seven four to two four

604
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: one zero one. Well, if you're using Instagram, you might

605
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: see something new as you're scrolling, something that might be

606
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: a little frustrating, something that actually stops you from using

607
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: the app. It's an AD break. Yes, Instagram is testing

608
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: what's called an AD break. This will actually stop you

609
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: from scrolling until you view an AD. A lot of

610
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: people on x have been posting screenshots of this, also

611
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: on Reddit, and Instagram spokesperson did confirm that they are

612
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: testing this and uh, they don't know if they're gonna

613
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: use this going far, but they probably will. So if

614
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: you see this. The AD break includes a countdown timer

615
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: indicating how long you have to sit there and wait

616
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: before you can continue browsing. And apparently this is not

617
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: just on the reels you know a video. This is

618
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: on when you're just scrolling through your your feed. And

619
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: so you're just scrolling your feed and all of a sudden,

620
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: your thumb goes up. But then the nothing on the

621
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: on the screen moves because it is frozen in time,

622
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: and you'll see that little countdown it says five four

623
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: three two one. Un skippable ads are a part of

624
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: the landscape now when it comes to a lot of

625
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: other services, whether it is TikTok, whether it is YouTube.

626
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: So sometimes you can skip them, sometimes you can't, or

627
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to watch a little portion of it

628
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: before you can actually skip it. So we were watching

629
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: a movie last night. I think it was on Amazon

630
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: Prime or no, it was on Peacock. And even though

631
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: I pay for Peacock, you still have to watch some ads. Now,

632
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: this ad was a long time. It was like one

633
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seconds, but after that the movie was

634
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: free of ads. So it was like one big ad

635
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: and then you get to watch the movie. But yeah,

636
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: there's no skipping through that ad. And this is why

637
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: these streaming services like on demand versus the DVR, which

638
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: I've mentioned before, the DVR was all the rage. Why

639
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: did all the streaming services and everyone move away from

640
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: the dvr because that includes you recording something and then

641
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: skipping through the ads. When you're watching on demand, there's

642
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: no skipping through those ads because they control the experience.

643
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: And in fact, on Peacock, when you pause, there's also

644
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: an ad. So when you sit and pause, you know,

645
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: and your wife asks you something, you pause the screen.

646
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, on the on the TV. There's

647
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: an ad and there's a big QR code and it's like,

648
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: you know, make the most of your break or something.

649
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: They you know, they're actually quite fun the ads that

650
00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: they have. But yeah, so Instagram be prepared those unskippable ads.

651
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: And if you have an older Apple TV, speaking of

652
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: streaming services, that you're running Netflix on, Netflix is ending

653
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: support for second and third generation Apple TVs. This is

654
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: gonna happen on July thirty first, twenty twenty four. Don't

655
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: don't get all out of shape here, because it's these

656
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: are very old Apple TVs. These were released in twenty

657
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: ten and twenty twelve, so you're talking over a decade old.

658
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: So if you have one of these and you're still

659
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: running Netflix on it, you will not be able to

660
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: run Netflix on it after July thirty first, twenty twenty four.

661
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: The latest Apple TV was released in November twenty twenty two.

662
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: It's the seventh generation Apple TV. Again, these are the

663
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: second and third generation Apple TV, so you're going back

664
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: a long time.

665
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 3: Now.

666
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: Why do I think Netflix is ending support? Well, I

667
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: think because the ads supported Netflix. I don't think runs

668
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: on these, so I think that that's probably why they

669
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: want to get rid of these, because that's where all

670
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: the growth is is at supporting. Plus it's been a

671
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: long time and they're like, all right, enough is enough.

672
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: Eight to eight rich one O one eight eight eight

694
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: wrote in on the website, I have a Samsung S ten.

695
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: I want to put an air tag equivalent in my car.

696
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: Please advise which one I should use? Thanks? Great question, Jay,

697
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,479
Speaker 1: And you're just in time because Android just activated what's

698
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: called the Find My Device Network. This is brand new

699
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: from Google. So in fact, on your Android phone you

700
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: may get a message that says, hey, do you want

701
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: to be a part of this find my Device network?

702
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: And it uses all of the Android devices out there

703
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: to help you find your stuff. Yes, this is what

704
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: Apple did with the iPhone and all the Apple devices

705
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago with the Find My network.

706
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: But those air tags are just going to work with

707
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: the iPhone. Now, if you have an Android, you can

708
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: finally get devices that will work with Googles Find my

709
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: Device network. So which one do I recommend for you?

710
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: There are two that are very popular, pebbleb and Chipolo

711
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: c Hipolo and pebble b. Now there's going to be

712
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: many more where this came from, but these are two

713
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: of the kind of out of the gate, right and

714
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: so Chapolo makes one called the Chipolo one Point. It's

715
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars for a one pack and it's basically

716
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: identical to an air tag. The main thing you need

717
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: to know is that the battery lasts about a year

718
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: and the battery is a replaceable battery, so it's kind

719
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: of like the battery. Let's see what kind of battery

720
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: it is. I'm guessing it's that that standard like two

721
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: oh yep, there it is the CR two oh three

722
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: to two, so that is the standard battery that it uses.

723
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: It's twenty eight dollars. A four pack is seventy nine dollars,

724
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: and that is basically the equivalent of an air tag.

725
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: So that's uh. I actually have one of these at home.

726
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I've had it for a week and

727
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: I have not activated to test it yet, so I

728
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: wish I would have done it anticipating your question. But

729
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: that is that's probably the one that you want to

730
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: go with. Chippolo is great. They are a company that's

731
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: been making these for a long time and now they've

732
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: got these new ones. Now again, the only issue is

733
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: these are not They're tough to get. That's the problem.

734
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: All these companies are offering them, but they're not really

735
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: shipping them just yet. So reviewers like myself have gotten

736
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: some of them, and some of the early early pre

737
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: orders have gotten them, but right now this says this

738
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: is shipping in mid July.

739
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: Now.

740
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: Looking at pebbleb they make a tracker either called the tag,

741
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: the card, or the clip. I would think for the

742
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: I would think for the car, you'd probably just want

743
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: the clip, and the clip is going to last for

744
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: twelve months on a charge. So this has a rechargeable battery,

745
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: which is kind of nice, so if you don't want

746
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: to be replacing that battery, or you might just leave

747
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: this plugged in in your car. If it's USBC, just

748
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: plug it in and it'll just be charging all the time.

749
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: So again the main thing to know about these find

750
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: my tags and trackers, whether it's from Android or whether

751
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: it's from iOS. These do not give real time location.

752
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: They are based on the last known location, which is

753
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: at the mercy of a device that has seen this.

754
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: So these do not have GPS on them. They do

755
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: not have a cellular connection on them, so they're only

756
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: as good as the device is around them. So if

757
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: you park your car in the middle of a field

758
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: and you walk away and your phone will that that

759
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: tag will not be updated unless someone else kind of

760
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: walks by that car. That is part of the network,

761
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: So you have to keep that in mind. So it's

762
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: only as good as you know the network that it's

763
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: on and the amount of phones and things that it

764
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: can pain. So if you're in a very dense location

765
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: with a lot of smartphones nearby, then these things are

766
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: going to be getting a location a lot and a

767
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: very accurate location. But if you're kind of in the

768
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: in a rural area or in the middle of nowhere,

769
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: these things don't get updated by themselves. They rely on

770
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: another device sort of seeing that and relaying that location

771
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: information back up to the server and then when you

772
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: look for it, you can see where that is, so

773
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: that you know. That's the main thing is just keeping

774
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: that in mind. With a car, it's a good thing

775
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: to have in there. Why not, It's better than not

776
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: having it, I would say so. Again, Chippolo and Pebbleby

777
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: go on the website. Pebbleby is shipping expected in two

778
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: to four weeks, so again a lot of these are

779
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: not shipping just yet, but we're going to see a

780
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: whole bunch of them come on the market very soon.

781
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to Let's go to Sean in La Costa, California. Sean,

782
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich Yay.

783
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I foolishly accepted a gift of a iPhone fifteen promac.

784
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: What were you thinking?

785
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 6: Oh boy, Well, I I'm just like to have a

786
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 6: good vocabulary and I use scientific symbols on occasion. And

787
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 6: I've just been really frustrated with the iPhone language interface,

788
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 6: the voice recognition, it's all. It's kind of like the

789
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 6: vapid but beautiful little sister to Android. And I'm just

790
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 6: I'm going back to Android.

791
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. You're talking. Look you've seen. Look,

792
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: the iPhone is the popular device. It's amazing, it's incredible,

793
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: but it's very basic and it's very simple, and so

794
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: it sounds like you want something that's a bit more

795
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: your speed, which you know, you want something that's a

796
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: little bit better than that.

797
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And Apple is great for consuming media. You can

798
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 6: watch a movie with great sound, but if you make

799
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 6: stop a little different, so well.

800
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: I would argue that I actually think the iPhone is

801
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: incredible for making media as well. But you know, and

802
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 1: I think actually the Samsung Galaxy S twenty four I

803
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: think is the Ultra is the absolute best phone for

804
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: consuming a movie because that HDR screen is just incredible.

805
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 6: But I would would agree. I actually had an S

806
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 6: twenty four or Ultra for a couple of weeks. I

807
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 6: didn't like the interface language interface because it's not pure Android.

808
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that kills me. That really kills me.

809
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 6: But anyway, I am limiting myself though, I am going

810
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 6: to go pure Android to be Pixel or Motorola.

811
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd go Pixel, and yeah, I'm looking at it.

812
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 6: Some prices have dropped recently. But my problem is this.

813
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 6: When I moved over to the iPhone, I had to

814
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 6: keep my old Android because there were a ton of

815
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 6: things that I had subscribed to, things that wouldn't transfer over.

816
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 6: So I have the old Android and then I have

817
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 6: the iPhone. I want to transfer both memories over to

818
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 6: this new probably Pixel, and I'm concerned that I'm going

819
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 6: to overwrite stuff. I want to keep texts. I have

820
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 6: lots of dead friends whose final texts are still on

821
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 6: my old Android. And then I've got stuff about important

822
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 6: things on the iPhone. So is there something a concise

823
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 6: way to do this? Is there software that you could recommend?

824
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: Ooh, so okay, so number one both the iPhone and Android.

825
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: So when you get that pixel, there will be a

826
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: screen says are you switching from another phone? And you

827
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: can select the phone. And these systems have gotten so

828
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: good at transferring everything over. They will transfer over pretty

829
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: much anything that you need. And in my experience, I

830
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: like to set up my phones clean and so I

831
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: don't like to transfer things over, but in my testing

832
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 1: I have tried and it does a pretty good job.

833
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: I think the text messages are the trickiest when it

834
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: comes to the iPhone because everything's locked up in that

835
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: I message. So there is a program that you can

836
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: download that will help you extract all that information off

837
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: of your off of the iPhone, and it's called i'mazing

838
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: I M A Z I G. And then there's also

839
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: another program that is from soft a Reno called alt

840
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: tunes A L T T U N E S And

841
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: both of those will help you get the stuff off

842
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: of your iPhone and onto your computer. And then if

843
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: you want to transfer it to the to the Android later,

844
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: you can do that. But the Android is much more

845
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: forgiving because everything is sort of open and whereas the

846
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: iPhone everything is closed, so it's not the easiest to

847
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: sort of get that stuff out of there unless you're

848
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: using that flow screen. Now, the reason I mentioned that

849
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: screen set up on the pixel is because you're gonna

850
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: have a choice to make. You have to decide do

851
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: you want to bring that information from the old Android

852
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: over or do you want to bring the information from

853
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: the iPhone. My advice is to bring the information from

854
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: the Android from the iPhone over to the Android using

855
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: the pixel switch screen, and then when it comes to Android,

856
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: everything is easily moveable. With the text messages, there is

857
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: a great program called SMS Backup and Restore. You can

858
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: just load that onto the old Android phone. You can

859
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: upload all of your messages into this app. It is free,

860
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: and then install that on the new pixel and say

861
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: restore and it will bring those messages to that new pixel,

862
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: or you'll just have them backed up in the loud

863
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: on your Google Drive. So again I think you go

864
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: with the iPhone as the restore point to the new Android.

865
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: If you could avoid that all together, personally, I would

866
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: just set the phone up fresh and then just bring

867
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: over things one at a time as you need them

868
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: and download all the apps that you want and stuff,

869
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: because I feel like when these things do it on

870
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: their own, yeah, they do a good job, but you know,

871
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: you get a lot of junk and stuff that maybe

872
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: you tried out and downloaded that you don't necessarily need.

873
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: So that's my advice. Yeah, Sean, I like that you're

874
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: going back. Nothing against iPhone, but it's just you know,

875
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: you tried it and it wasn't for you. I think

876
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: the Pixel is an incredible device. I'll give you my

877
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 1: review of the Pixel eight a coming up after the break.

878
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: Eight to eight rich one O one eight eight eight

879
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. This is

882
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: one oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to

883
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. You can find me online

884
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:07,720

885
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: at rich on Tech. Apple has revealed its minimum software

886
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: support time frame for the iPhone, which apparently falls a

887
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: little short compared to Samsung and Google. So Apple says

888
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: they will provide security updates for a minimum of five

889
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: years for iPhones. This starts with the iPhone fifteen series,

890
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: and this is the first time that Apple has actually

891
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: committed to a minimum length of software support for its iPhones. Typically,

892
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,439
Speaker 1: they've been really good about this, they just haven't really

893
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,240
Speaker 1: published a timeframe. Now, if you look at the current

894
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: phone that is supported by iOS seventeen, you're talking you're

895
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: going back all the way to like I had it

896
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: up on my computer here, Oh, the iPhone ten R,

897
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: which was that launched in twenty eighteen, so you're talking

898
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: six years. So Apple has been really good, good about

899
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: keeping its phones up to date for a very long time.

900
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: But because the UK has this rule that you have

901
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: to publish how long you're going to provide security and

902
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: software updates, they had to come out with a number.

903
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: And so that's why they came out with that five

904
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,919
Speaker 1: year minimum because it kind of covers their bases where

905
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, five years, even though they know they're going

906
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: to do a little bit more, but five years is

907
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: a safe bet. So that means if you have the

908
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen Pro Max that came out in September twenty

909
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty three, you'll get guaranteed updates until September twenty twenty eight.

910
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: Now Samsung and app and Google have been on this

911
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: March towards seven years, and so you know that's typically

912
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: a little bit longer than what Apple has been doing.

913
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: But this is a new thing. This just started in

914
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: October with Google, and then Samsung got on board and

915
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: they said they're going to do the same thing. So

916
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: with all that said, let me give you my review

917
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: of the Pixel eight to A. This is Google's budget smartphone.

918
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: It sells for five hundred dollars. I have it in

919
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: my hand and I'm telling you it is the perfect

920
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: size phone. It is also the perfect price. So if

921
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 1: you're looking for a phone that does what you need,

922
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: has an excellent camera, has clean software, look no further

923
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: than this device. It is so good. Now, I'm not

924
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: going to say it's my absolute favorite Android phone for

925
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 1: this year. That is definitely the Samsung Galaxy S twenty

926
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: four Ultra, but that is also twice the size of

927
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: this phone and also almost three times the price of

928
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: this phone. So if you want something that is simple

929
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,760
Speaker 1: and just works, but also has all the AI features

930
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: and by the way, is going to be supported for

931
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: seven years, this is the phone to get. So let

932
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: me talk about the camera. That's the main thing that

933
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: people like on these pixel phones. The camera is great.

934
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: It's gonna take really nice pictures. It also has all

935
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 1: the AI features that Google gives you, including Best Take,

936
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: which means if you take like five pictures of a

937
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: group of you and your friends, it's gonna literally chop

938
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: the heads off of you and paste them on with

939
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: the smiles. So it's such a funny little feature. I'll

940
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: be honest, I don't use it as much as I

941
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: thought I would, but it's there if you need it.

942
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: Probably during the holidays when you're trying to get that

943
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: perfect holiday picture or birthday parties with your kids, whatever,

944
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: the Best Take will be pretty nice. It's got the

945
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: Magic Editor, so it will do all kinds of AI

946
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: powered photo editing things on your photos. It's got the

947
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 1: Magic Eraser, which can erase things out of your pictures,

948
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: people and also unwanted objects. It's got the photo Unblur,

949
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: which I talked about a couple of weeks ago on

950
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: the show, which is just incredible. It takes an old

951
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: picture and just makes it if it's blurry. I did

952
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: a couple of pictures that way and it just was

953
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: incredible the results. It's got a six point one inch screen,

954
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: so not the biggest screen in the world. But it's

955
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: a nice size and it fits in your hands so well.

956
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: Like I love this phone, I want to carry it

957
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: just because it's such a perfect size. The Samsung Ultra,

958
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: as much as I love it, it is huge, and

959
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: you put a case on that thing, it's even bigger.

960
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: It also has one hundred and twenty Hurts display. And

961
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: the main thing to know about that if you get

962
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: this phone, because it was really bugging me because the

963
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: phone was looking pretty choppy, you have to go into

964
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: display and turn on what's called smooth display, or else

965
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: your phone is going to look like something out of

966
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: the eighties. People give it a problem because it's got

967
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 1: a big bezel that means there's like a big border

968
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: around the edge of the screen. It's fine. It's not

969
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: the best, but it's fine. It's powered by Google's latest

970
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: and greatest chip called Google Tensor G three. Again, not

971
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 1: the best chip out there compared to the Snap Dragons

972
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: of the world for mobile phones, but it's still really good.

973
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: Memory eight gigabytes a RAM one hundred and twenty eight

974
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: or two hundred and fifty six gigabyte options that charging

975
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: on this phone is not that fast. Whether it's wired

976
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: or wireless, not that fast. But again, great little device.

977
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: It is pocket sized, it's five hundred dollars, and it

978
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: might be cheaper. So I would say, do not buy

979
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: this phone for five hundred dollars. Wait for it to

980
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: go on sale. My price that I'm aiming for is

981
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: for three hundred and fifty to four hundred and fifty dollars.

982
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: I do believe this phone will be sold for those prices,

983
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: So watch the price, keep track of it, and get

984
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: it when it is on sale. Because the Pixel eight,

985
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: which is a little bit of a step above right now,

986
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: is selling for five hundred and fifty dollars, that would

987
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: be the better phone to get, but I think this

988
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: phone will sell for even less on the other end,

989
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: So three fifty to four hundred that's the Pixel eight.

990
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: A more on the website Richontech dot TV. Coming up

991
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: Drew Binski, a travel YouTuber who has gone to every

992
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 1: country in the world. This is rich on Tech. Welcome

993
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out

994
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: with you talking technology. Cool story. So I first met

995
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: our next guest in twenty six He had been to

996
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: seventy four countries. His name is Drew Binski. He was

997
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: making a living basically sharing his travels on Snapchat and

998
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: his goal was to visit every country in the world.

999
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: So I did a segment with him, interviewed him, and

1000
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: he eventually switched to YouTube as his main platform. But

1001
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: now he has reached his goal of visiting every country

1002
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: in the world. He's a young guy, probably in his

1003
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: either late twenties or early thirties, and now he's written

1004
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: a book about it. It's called Just Go. So here's

1005
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: my conversation with Drew Binski. So what inspired you to

1006
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: visit every country in the world.

1007
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 7: I traveled a lot as a kid growing up domestically,

1008
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 7: and I always had a dream to go to Maine,

1009
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 7: which is the farthest stayed away. And once I went

1010
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 7: to May and I was like, I want to go

1011
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 7: to more countries. So I studied a brought in Prague

1012
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 7: Todd English in Korea and just kept going from there.

1013
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: You visited one hundred and ninety seven countries. One hundred

1014
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: and ninety seven every country in the world. Yes, So

1015
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: my kids were watching YouTube video. By the way, unbknownst

1016
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: to me like they didn't know that I knew who

1017
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 1: you were. Yeah, well, but so what did you learn

1018
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: in your one hundred and ninety seven country visit.

1019
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 7: I learned that all people are the same, you know,

1020
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 7: and the world is safer than you think. Everyone's scared

1021
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 7: to visit places because of what they hear, but when

1022
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 7: you go and meet people face to face, you realize

1023
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 7: that they're just super friendly and kind, and that's that's

1024
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 7: the biggest takeaway.

1025
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: This is all about technology. You've traveled a lot of

1026
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: different places. You probably have to travel light. What tech

1027
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: tools or tips can you offer?

1028
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 7: I basically just travel with my MacBook because I edit

1029
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 7: and I work on my computer, and then my iPhone,

1030
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 7: so there's a couple apps that I use. One really

1031
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 7: good tip is Google Maps works offline, so even if

1032
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 7: your phone is on airplane mode, you can pre download

1033
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 7: the destination you're going to. So if you're going to Lisbon,

1034
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 7: you could download everything in Lisbon and it'll work offline

1035
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 7: and the little blue tracker will follow you around the city.

1036
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 7: So if you want to make sure you're not getting

1037
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 7: in the wrong taxi or something, you can check where

1038
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 7: you're going. And then for an eSIM card, I use

1039
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 7: air Low, which is basically a company that lets you

1040
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 7: have phone access in two hundred countries and territories and

1041
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 7: so you just arrived and you just press you know,

1042
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 7: I'm in Ethiopia and the phone works. So it's really helpful.

1043
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 7: You don't have to get those SIM cards to put

1044
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 7: in your phone anymore.

1045
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: Do you think technology has made travel easier?

1046
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 7: Absolutely? Yeah, I wouldn't. It would be a lot more

1047
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 7: difficult to do what I do without having all these tools.

1048
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 7: And also it's nice that I can just like FaceTime,

1049
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 7: you know, my friends and family and my parents, and

1050
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 7: it's just easier to communicate with them. And like three

1051
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 7: G and four G is like pretty worldwide now, whereas

1052
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 7: when we met last time in twenty sixteen, it was

1053
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 7: a lot harder to communicate with people.

1054
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: So and Wi Fi is everywhere now. Yeah, what about AI?

1055
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: In the past year, we've seen an explosion of AI.

1056
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: Is that impacting your travel in any way?

1057
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1058
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 7: It helped me in my work profession because I like

1059
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,439
Speaker 7: to get some scripts written and I like to check things.

1060
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 7: And sometimes even if I like am in a pinch,

1061
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 7: it's like, hey, give me ten things to do in

1062
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 7: Uganda and it'll just like, you know, tell you what

1063
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 7: to do. So it's a good reference point. But I

1064
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 7: think everyone should be utilizing AI in whatever field they do,

1065
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 7: because if they if you don't use it, you're just

1066
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 7: going to fall behind the people that are using it,

1067
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 7: and of people I reluctant to AI, but I still

1068
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 7: think it's you just have to accept it because it's

1069
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 7: everywhere and it's going to continue helping our lives if

1070
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 7: you use it the right way.

1071
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: I think this is interesting. You've built a pretty big

1072
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: following online. Tell me how many followers you had the

1073
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 1: last time we talked, and how many.

1074
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 3: You have now.

1075
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 7: Last time we talked, I had maybe one or two million,

1076
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 7: and now it's like fourteen millions across platforms.

1077
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: Fourteen million people following your travels. Yeah, is that nerve racking?

1078
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: Because you want to be authentic, but also you want

1079
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: to show them a good time.

1080
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 7: There's a little pressure that I have to like deliver

1081
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 7: a certain standard of content and I do. I have

1082
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 7: a team now. Last time I saw you didn't have

1083
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 7: a team. Now I have a team. So yeah, we're

1084
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 7: constantly putting out long form documentaries and it's a lot

1085
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 7: of fun. I like interacting with people. I really like

1086
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 7: to connect with people one on one when I hear

1087
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 7: fourteen million. That's like so obscure to me, you know,

1088
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 7: like I can't imagine that. But like even just meeting

1089
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 7: face to face with people, that's what it's all about.

1090
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: You've got a new book. Tell me about the book.

1091
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: What made you write it and what did you hope

1092
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: to instill into the readers.

1093
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, the book is called Just Go. It's basically another

1094
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 7: way that I can tell stories that's not through videos,

1095
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 7: and some people prefer reading books. And it's also a

1096
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 7: tangible thing that you can take on an airplane or

1097
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 7: you can read it in your bed, And that was

1098
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 7: kind of my main motive. I wanted to have like

1099
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 7: a book that people could read. And so basically it's

1100
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 7: untold stories from visiting every country, a lot of focus

1101
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 7: on the Middle East, Yemen, Afghanistan, Siria, Somalia, some of

1102
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 7: those countries where people might be too scared to visit.

1103
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 7: I tell really positive and uplifting stories in them, and

1104
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 7: then a lot of practical travel tips and advice and

1105
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 7: secrets that I've learned along the way. So it's an

1106
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 7: easy read, three hundred pages. Can read it in a

1107
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 7: few hours, and there's some photos in there too. It's fun.

1108
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of forbidding countries, did you go to North Korea?

1109
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 7: I did go to North Korea. Yeah, in twenty seventeen

1110
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 7: after we met, I spent three days in Pyeongang, and

1111
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 7: it was I'm one of the last Americans to go

1112
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 7: there because as soon as I got back, Americans were banned.

1113
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 7: Until now Americans cannot visit North Korea. So I did visit, yes,

1114
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 7: and I think it's interesting. I can speak a bit

1115
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 7: of Korean from living in South Korea, and I just

1116
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 7: I'm obsessed with like the culture and the isolation of

1117
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 7: that country specifically, and you know, the situation there, So

1118
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 7: I'm fascinated by North Korea.

1119
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: How do you think you've changed as a person since

1120
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: we last talked.

1121
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 7: I think I've become wiser just learning about different cultures,

1122
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 7: being forced into different communities, learning about religion, culture and

1123
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 7: how the world works. I'm still the same person. I

1124
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 7: like to play golf a lot and hang out with

1125
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 7: my dog, but it's rewarding to have a big knowledge

1126
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 7: about the world. And when I watch movies and when

1127
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 7: I listen to songs that there's a lot of references

1128
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 7: that I pick up now because I've been to those countries.

1129
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: That is so true. That is so true. The perspective

1130
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: it gives you is really what I think is the

1131
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway. You achieved your goal of visiting every country.

1132
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: What's next?

1133
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 6: The moon.

1134
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 7: Space of the moon would be a really cool trip.

1135
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 7: I just got back from the South Pole, the actual

1136
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 7: geographic South Pole, which only three thousand people have visited

1137
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 7: in history. That was like a pinnacle moment for me.

1138
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 7: So I'm looking for like those next level trips. But

1139
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 7: i also want to revisit countries that I didn't get

1140
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 7: to see enough of, For example, China. I'm heading back

1141
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 7: in two weeks and I'll be visiting central and western China.

1142
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 7: So there's many regions within countries that I still, you know,

1143
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 7: would love to visit. And the world is a big place,

1144
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 7: so there's a lot of even within California, Like I

1145
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 7: haven't been to northeastern California, central California. There's a lot

1146
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 7: of stories to be told there.

1147
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: And when people are traveling kind of what should they

1148
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: keep in mind, Like I mean, not everyone's as adventurous

1149
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: as you, especially when it comes to what you eat. Yeah,

1150
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: I certainly am not. So how do you think people

1151
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: make the most of their Most of the time people

1152
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: are vacationing.

1153
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 7: Sure, it's helpful to make a local friend anywhere because

1154
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 7: they know their country just like you know your country

1155
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 7: or city, and they can introduce you to the culture.

1156
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 7: If there's a language barrier, they can help with that.

1157
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,439
Speaker 7: They can help keep you safe. So you could hire

1158
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 7: a local tour guide. Get your Guide dot com has

1159
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 7: tour guides. There's also tours by Locals dot com, so

1160
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 7: you can just hire, like pay eighty bucks and you'll

1161
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,959
Speaker 7: have someone, or just use social media Instagram connect with people,

1162
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 7: friends of friends. You should always try to find a

1163
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 7: local person because they know like the hidden gems of

1164
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 7: the place and you'll just have fun. It's a cultural

1165
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 7: exchange if you hang out with a local person. So

1166
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 7: that's what I recommend.

1167
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: And speaking of social media, everyone sees what you do.

1168
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't look easy, but people feel like they can

1169
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: do something similar. Do you feel like the travel social

1170
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: media globetrotter is something that is already established or do

1171
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: you think people can still do that.

1172
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 7: I think it's a wide open playground, but you need

1173
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 7: to be really focused from the beginning. It's not a

1174
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 7: job that you can just put in an hour a day.

1175
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 7: You have to really focus and if you be yourself

1176
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 7: and you're authentic, I think anybody could do it. But

1177
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 7: it does take a lot of hard work. I mean

1178
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 7: I've been doing this for eight years now, like NonStop,

1179
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 7: and my team is now about fifteen people and we're

1180
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 7: still like have a long way to go. So it

1181
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 7: just you got to post consistently often and just make

1182
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 7: content that you feel proud of, that you want to

1183
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 7: post about, and then you'll grow following. So the answer

1184
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 7: is yes. You also have to be willing to be

1185
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 7: on camera all the time like you are, like I am,

1186
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 7: but it's not for everyone. Some people might not want

1187
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 7: to be showing their face a lot, so yes, but

1188
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 7: it's definitely possible. And did you pick a favorite country

1189
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 7: or place? I have a few face rich The Philippines

1190
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 7: is one of them. I really like Iran and Afghanistan

1191
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 7: and just the culture is so rich there, and in Africa,

1192
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 7: I like Ethiopia the best. I always like connecting with people,

1193
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 7: so if they just reach out to me at Drew

1194
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 7: Binski on any social I'm happy to respond. And yeah,

1195
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 7: I recommend people to visit places that they might not

1196
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 7: think about visiting. The first time. You know, Mexico is great.

1197
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 7: It's actually one of my favorite countries in the world.

1198
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 7: But if you go a little farther south, you're in Guatemala,

1199
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 7: El Salvador, Honduras, and those countries are also really cool.

1200
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 7: So just stepping out of your comfort zone a little

1201
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 7: bit more is something I think is really rewarding.

1202
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Once again, that is Drew Binski, travel YouTuber who has

1203
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: visited every country in the world. He mentioned a couple

1204
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: of tech tools. Have got them all linked up on

1205
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,720

Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Carol, you're on with rich.

1213
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 8: Oh hey, Rich With all these data breaches going on,

1214
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 8: do you recommend you know how each of those companies

1215
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 8: that you've been breached on they offer free credit reporting services, yes,

1216
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 8: but before I sign it with them, would you recommend

1217
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 8: getting individual reports for like Equifax, Transnient or experience or

1218
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 8: someone suggested like a main report with Lexus Naxus, and

1219
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 8: then after you get those reports, then I guess use

1220
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 8: uh like the data breach companies reporting free reporting.

1221
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean my problem with these these companies

1222
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: that do the monitoring is that you have to give

1223
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: them all of your information. And so that's every time

1224
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: when I go to sign up, I stop because I'm like,

1225
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: welllit a second, do I really want to give all

1226
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: this information to this third party company? So exactly that's

1227
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: what keeps me from doing it. With that said, I

1228
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: do have a couple of ways that I keep tabs

1229
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: on things. I use something called uh, oh, gosh, I'm

1230
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: trying to remember what is called wallet gosh nerd wallet. No,

1231
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: it's not nerd wallet. I'm trying to remember. I'll think

1232
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: of it in a second, but uh it.

1233
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 3: You know.

1234
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 1: So I've got a couple of things like Google has

1235
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: a dark web monitoring. Right with the credit report stuff,

1236
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: I would probably download the annual creditreport dot com. That's

1237
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: where you can get your free credit reports. So you

1238
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: can get those from you know, from the government. They

1239
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: basically give you like one once a year, right, like

1240
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: you can get those I think it's once a year,

1241
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: but have you done that?

1242
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 8: No, That's why I wanted to ask you because I

1243
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 8: had the same thing. I don't want to use these

1244
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,959
Speaker 8: third parties from like say, if I was att because

1245
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 8: I don't know who they are, you know, I've never

1246
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 8: heard of them. So I was actually on with another

1247
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 8: major company explaining about these data breaches because they needed INPLO.

1248
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 8: And she goes, why are you applying for ECOFAX Transunior

1249
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 8: Experience or the free credit report. She goes, you should

1250
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 8: go to Lexus and Nexus because they have information for everything.

1251
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 3: Well, I know, I don't know.

1252
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: I have not used like I know Lexus Nexus is

1253
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: like a clearinghouse for everything, Like I know a lot

1254
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: of uh you know, legal and journalists. They use it.

1255
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Like it's just they have a lot of information. I

1256
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: don't know if they have something for consumers. Have you

1257
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: checked their website for consumers?

1258
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 8: They actually do, because we went on it at the

1259
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 8: same time and it looks like you get one report

1260
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 8: and then has everything. Yeah, but one lady said it.

1261
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 8: She she downloaded it and it was like four hundred pages.

1262
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so this is right, Okay, So this is

1263
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: what's called the consumer disclosure report. Okay, so this this

1264
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: is basically every all the information they have on you.

1265
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: You can request that. I think that'd be fun. I mean,

1266
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: if it's free, why not. I mean it's you know, uh,

1267
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: let's see what do you have to give them to

1268
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: do this? Name address request a description procedure? Okay, so

1269
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: that's it, it's just your name and address. I would

1270
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: do that. Why not just to see what they have

1271
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: on you?

1272
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 4: Oh?

1273
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Depending oh, depending on the type of request, you may

1274
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: be required to put in your social Security number or

1275
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: your driver's license number. In state, this will only be used.

1276
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: So I think if they can't verify you like in

1277
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: their systems, they like, if let's say you put in

1278
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: an address that they don't have in their system, they

1279
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: may say, oh, well, we need to verify you with

1280
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: a social or your driver's license with driver's license. I'm

1281
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: fine with social Security number, you know. I would be

1282
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: a little bit hesitant for that one, but that's I

1283
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: would do that. The other thing people do is they

1284
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: freeze their credit reports. I have not done that, but

1285
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like a lot of people. I

1286
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: was just talking to someone who had their credit hacked

1287
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: and they said, absolute, you got to freeze your credit reports,

1288
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: like immediately, because if it happens to you, it is

1289
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: a pain to get all that stuff right.

1290
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 8: But I was told before you freeze it that you

1291
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 8: should probably get the free credit report from each of them.

1292
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I would, yeah for sure.

1293
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 8: But so my question is is there free credit report

1294
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 8: for all three or should I apply individually and call

1295
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 8: each one of them up this one?

1296
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: If you go to that annual credit report dot com.

1297
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,479
Speaker 1: You can get one from Equifax, Experience and TransUnion. Oh okay,

1298
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: you can get one from each of them. The service

1299
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: that I use to monitor my any alerts that I get,

1300
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 1: like if there's any changes to my credit report, it

1301
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: will it will send me an alert, and that's wallet

1302
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: hub dot com. And I don't pay anything for that,

1303
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: but I do. I've I've had that forever, and now

1304
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: I will tell you some of the alerts are a

1305
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: little bogus. It'll tell you it'll say, oh, there's been

1306
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: a change to your credit report, and you go on

1307
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: it says your credit card was paid off for that month.

1308
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: So it's not like you know, they want to get

1309
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: you on the website. But again, it's a free service.

1310
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 8: So that's what they're going to do, so okay, so

1311
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 8: you would use them than like LifeLock, which is kind

1312
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 8: of ironic since I'm getting all these fan email saying, oh,

1313
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 8: you need to renew your LifeLock account, and I was like,

1314
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 8: I don't have one too.

1315
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Lifelock's a brand name, so any brand name

1316
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 1: these phishing attempts are going to be are going to

1317
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: be triggered. Look, I think it really depends on your situation.

1318
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 1: You know that a lot of people they like to

1319
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: have the security of a LifeLock or a Norton whatever,

1320
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: you know, they offer similar So I can't fault people

1321
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: for that. And having identity theft insurance like that makes

1322
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: people feel better because it does take a lot of

1323
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: time to get your your identity back if something were

1324
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: to ever happen to you, and it's happening a lot

1325
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: like this is happening in large numbers on a daily basis.

1326
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to fault anyone for taking the

1327
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 1: measures that they want to take to protect their name

1328
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 1: and their credit report and their information and their identity.

1329
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: But I really feel like it comes down to you know,

1330
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: what you feel is responsible for yourself. So if you're

1331
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: if you think your social Security numbers out there and

1332
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: your personal information hasn't been involved in too many hacks

1333
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 1: and breaches, then go ahead and sign up for one

1334
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: of these things. If you feel like you can kind

1335
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: of get your credit report once in a while, take

1336
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: a look, make sure everything's okay and nothing seems fishy.

1337
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: Then you know, go with something like a wallet hub

1338
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 1: or just you know, dark web monitoring.

1339
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 8: Would you also recommend going like on Social Security Administration

1340
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 8: and setting up your own account because I heard you

1341
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 8: could lock your account on that too.

1342
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: I have not done that, but you might.

1343
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1344
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 1: I think it is a good idea because I remember

1345
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: they used to send out paperwork, you know, with like

1346
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: estimates of your social security and they don't do that

1347
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: anymore as far as I know, So they do they still.

1348
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, because actually that was kind of one of the

1349
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 8: other issues that had an issue where a wage wasn't

1350
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 8: reported correctly.

1351
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1352
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 8: I had to wait till after the pandemic and go

1353
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 8: in the office to get it corrected. And then I go,

1354
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 8: what happens next to go, Well, they'll send you a

1355
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 8: letter in the mail to look at your case history

1356
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 8: and as all the information you provided as correct will

1357
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 8: reports the correct wages, Like for example, it was supposed

1358
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,600
Speaker 8: to be fifty thousand, they followed a W two and

1359
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 8: then they were changing some other information for everybody else

1360
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 8: in the company, and then they re reported it as

1361
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 8: zero on the corrected wages. So how to go through

1362
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 8: this whole rigamoro? The ironic thing is I did get

1363
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 8: a response from them, like in two months later saying

1364
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 8: they had six everything, and they sent a letter with

1365
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 8: my social security full social security number. Yeah, and it

1366
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 8: came in an envelope. Nobody opened it. I guess it

1367
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 8: went through an automated system, you know, storting system. It

1368
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 8: was never stealed, so oh yeah, I've gotten that before.

1369
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 6: I was like, oh my god, I know.

1370
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. There was a great article I

1371
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: was just reading about how the social Security number has

1372
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 1: become the de facto identity for Americans and it was

1373
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:06,679
Speaker 1: never intended to be this thing which it has become.

1374
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: Like there's pretty much that is it, Like that's the

1375
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: only that is the only thing between you and someone,

1376
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:16,759
Speaker 1: you know, taking out a credit line or a credit

1377
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: card or opening up something in your name. Uh, there's

1378
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 1: not much to identify us because so much of this

1379
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: stuff has been leaked. So now these companies are getting

1380
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: a little smarter. When you open up a credit card,

1381
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 1: it may it may ask you questions about people you

1382
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: know or places you lived, and it's been doing that

1383
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: for years, but now they're getting a little bit smarter

1384
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: about how they do it. So, uh, my advice don't

1385
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: give out your number as much as possible, protect your

1386
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: information and keep an eye on your credit keep an

1387
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: eye on the information that's out there on the dark

1388
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: web especially, and just do the best you can to

1389
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 1: protect that stuff. Eighty' eight rich one oh one eight

01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: The website for the show rich on Tech dot TV.

1396
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: You can follow me on social media. I am at

1397
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: rich on Tech on Instagram, Facebook, and x And we

1398
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: got a little feedback here on the credit report conversation.

1399
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: H Jen in Los Angeles wrote in to say, I

1400
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: think you can get your credit reports every week and

1401
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: you don't need to call them. You can do it

1402
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: all online and you can freeze and on freeze for

1403
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: an unlimited time for free right now. So I looked

1404
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 1: at the websites again. The Annualcreditreport dot com it does

1405
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 1: say free weekly online credit reports are available from all

1406
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: three of these providers, so I guess they change from

1407
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: annual to weekly. Maybe that was during the penn I'm

1408
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: not sure. And then if you look at USA dot

1409
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: gov slash credit freeze, it says you can place or

1410
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: lift a credit freeze by contacting each of the three

1411
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: major credit reporting agencies. You can submit your request online,

1412
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,679
Speaker 1: by phone or mail. How long does it take online

1413
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: or by phone? They must freeze within one business day,

1414
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 1: and then unfreeze requests they must lift the freeze within

1415
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: one hour. So it looks like if you're not sort

1416
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 1: of applying for anything that requires your credit report, it

1417
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: might be a good idea just to freeze it in

1418
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: the meantime. I don't know what the ramifications are of

1419
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: that in in the bigger scheme of things, but if

1420
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 1: you can unfreeze it in an hour, that's a that's

1421
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: a pretty quick timeframe there to uh to get that unfrozen.

1422
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: All right, coming up this hour, we're going to talk

1423
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: to the creators of a device called Kinney. This is

1424
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: a wireless motion sensor. I've been testing it out. It's

1425
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 1: really cool, it's very it's really different. It's got privacy

1426
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 1: in mind. And I will tell you the fact or

1427
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 1: the founders will explain why they came up with this

1428
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: device and what it could be used for. Again, that's

1429
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: coming up later in the show. Let's go to Mark

1430
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Mark Mark, You're on with rich Oh.

1431
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 4: I have the preface by saying, I'm so jealous. I've

1432
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 4: only been the fifty three of the countries, and I

1433
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 4: wish Americans could go overseas and see how America is

1434
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 4: Disneyland and compared to the rest of the world.

1435
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: It is.

1436
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 2: It is.

1437
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: It is nice. It gives you some perspective to travel,

1438
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: that's for sure. What does What can I help you?

1439
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 4: I have a couple of quickies here. I'm going crazy

1440
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 4: with YouTube. They keep telling me I have AD blocker

1441
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 4: on Firefox.

1442
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 6: Et cetera.

1443
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 4: I don't, and they just, you know, keep recycling ad

1444
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 4: nauseum so you can't watch the videos. I wish it

1445
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 4: was a fix for that, but I just I don't

1446
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 4: even have ad blocker, but I would like to say something.

1447
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 4: I wish I could find an American made phone with

1448
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 4: no back doors, because my favorite phone ever was the

1449
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 4: Yoda phone Yoda three with the dual screens. It had

1450
01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 4: the black and white e inc.

1451
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1452
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 4: Some phones out now that have color e ink. Yeah,

1453
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 4: they use almost no power whatsoever. And I'm a long

1454
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 4: distance cyclist, so I go five to three to five

1455
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 4: hours a day and it just sucks my joe dry

1456
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 4: using you know the speedometer odometer thingy Well, you have

1457
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 4: any questions on either, sir, uh?

1458
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: Well with so, yeah, anytime you're using any sort of

1459
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: like GPS on your phone, it's going to use the

1460
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: battery up a lot. And that's just kind of like

1461
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: the reality of it. I don't know of a phone

1462
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: that has that that e ink display that's that's in

1463
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 1: large scale production. I mean there is one called the

1464
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: uh the light phone, but they don't have any sort

1465
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: of tracking capabilities on there that you're talking about for

1466
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: like bike cycling. Best I can say is what'sapp?

1467
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 4: That's just a biking app. You know, you you click

1468
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 4: it and it tells you how fast you're going, you know,

1469
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 4: the GPS, yes, but when you flip it over to

1470
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 4: the e inc. It uses substantially lift oh yeah, because

1471
01:15:58,240 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 4: it's not refreshing the screen.

1472
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: But if if it's still using the GPS it's going

1473
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: to have it's gonna be drawing the battery. But I

1474
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: don't know of a you know, I think that phones

1475
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: have gotten really good with the battery. But anytime you're

1476
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 1: actively using any sort of service on a phone, like

1477
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,719
Speaker 1: whether the screen is on, whether the GPS is running,

1478
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: it's going to use a substantial amount of that battery.

1479
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 1: And that's just the kind of the way these things are,

1480
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: you know. The only thing I could suggest is maybe

1481
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: getting a battery pack that kind of attaches to the

1482
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 1: back of your phone. They used to have these battery

1483
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: cases for Mophi that you can actually snap your phone

1484
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 1: in and it would give you more battery, but I

1485
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: don't even see those anymore.

1486
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,440
Speaker 4: Well, the problem is that they also don't want removable

1487
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 4: batteries anymore, because they want to be able to tap

1488
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 4: into you even if your phone is off, you know,

1489
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 4: and now you can't take your battery out and just

1490
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 4: really turn off the phone.

1491
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, and in fact, I mean, I know that gets

1492
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: into a little bit of you know, conspiracy stuff, but

1493
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: but it is interesting that you say that, because both

1494
01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: the iPhone and the Pixel phones at this point, even

1495
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: when they are actively turned off, like when they're off,

1496
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 1: they are still able to be found using both the

1497
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 1: find my network and the Android Find my Device network.

1498
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: So when you turn off the Pixel after a recent

1499
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 1: software update, there's a little message on it that says

1500
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: this is still findable and that's what the phone powered off.

1501
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think many people would be surprised that

1502
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: that is happening. And on the iPhone it's the same thing. Now, look,

1503
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: if you need to find your phone, that's a good thing.

1504
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,679
Speaker 1: But on the flip side, these phones are still sort

1505
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: of alive even when they're not. Now, to answer your

1506
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 1: first question mark about the ad blocker, there are some

1507
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: web browsers that do have built in AD blocking capabilities,

1508
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 1: like the Brave web browser. I know Firefox Focus has

1509
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: a built in AD blocker, and that could be what's

1510
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: messing with it. There's a couple other things that could

1511
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: be messing with it on the back end. If your

1512
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 1: router has an AD blocking system or service on the

1513
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: entire network, that could be doing it. I know on

1514
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: Eero on Mine I do have that system wide AD blocking,

1515
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: and so it does mess with some websites. Sometimes even

1516
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 1: though I'm not actively running an ad blocker, it will

1517
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: say sorry, you're running an ad blocker. And that's on

1518
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: the network level, so I really can't get around that.

1519
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 1: The other thing is maybe you have an extension that

1520
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: you install that's also maybe it's a privacy extension that's

1521
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: also an AD blocker. Sometimes it can misinterpret a VPN

1522
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:30,440
Speaker 1: that's also filtering things out. That could be it JavaScript

1523
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: could be disabled by your web browser by to fault,

1524
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: and that could be causing it. Those are the main things.

1525
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: The other thing is that a lot of times on

1526
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: the Apple side of things, or on the Pixel side

1527
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: of things, they have what's called IP address privacy, and

1528
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: so Apple calls it what do they call it private relay.

1529
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: So sometimes if private relay is enabled, that will also

1530
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: mess with these websites. So it's kind of gotten interesting

1531
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: when something when a website gives me an issue, I

1532
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:03,560
Speaker 1: have come to the conclusion that it is not the

1533
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: website that is having trouble. It's something that I have

1534
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: running on my computer that is messing with that website,

1535
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 1: whether it is grammarly, whether it is an AD blocker,

1536
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: whether it is a JavaScript blocker, so you have to

1537
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: go through. And what I do is I will go

1538
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: into a web browser that I don't use typically and

1539
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 1: test the website there. So if you're having trouble, maybe

1540
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: open up a browser that you don't use, like a Safari.

1541
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 1: On my computer, I don't have anything installed on there,

1542
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: so when I open up Safari, I can go in

1543
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: there and it's basically what's called. You know, it's clean

1544
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 1: and so the website acts as intended. And so that's

1545
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: the best indication of whether something is wrong with a

1546
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: website or it's just something on my computer that's messing

1547
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: with that website. And that happens a lot, a lot

1548
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot. Thanks for the call mark in Weinetka appreciate it.

1549
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Two kind of issues this week that where we saw

1550
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: big companies respond to the the buzz online. Microsoft remember

1551
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: this recall feature that they're enabling on their aipcs. This

1552
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 1: is the feature that remembers everything you do on your computer.

1553
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: I talked about it at length on this show and

1554
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: talked about the privacy implications. If someone gets access to

1555
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 1: your computer, they can go through and search anything that

1556
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: you've seen on your screen. There were some limitations like

1557
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: private browsing and things like that, and you can exclude

1558
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: certain apps. But clearly consumers were not happy with this,

1559
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: and Microsoft listened and early or at the end of

1560
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 1: the week, Microsoft put out a blog post and said,

1561
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: you know what, we are going to change the way

1562
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: that we launch recall on Windows computers. So number one,

1563
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: you are going to have to opt in. So no

1564
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: longer is this going to be turned on by default.

1565
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 1: When you set up that new computer, they're gonna say, hey,

1566
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 1: here's the recall feature. Do you want to turn it on?

1567
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,680
Speaker 1: And you have to say yes if you want to

1568
01:20:55,720 --> 01:21:00,040
Speaker 1: turn it on. It also requires Windows Hello enrollment, and

1569
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: that means you have to scan your face to enter

1570
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: your computer. And that means that theoretically it should only

1571
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: be you getting into your computer, because if you have

1572
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: a pin or a password, anyone can know that or

1573
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: someone that someone could figure that out. But with Windows Hello,

1574
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:18,679
Speaker 1: it has to be you. And they're going to require

1575
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,720
Speaker 1: proof of presence, which means if you're recalled data is

1576
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 1: being accessed, they have to see you sitting at your

1577
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: computer to access it, which means remote access would be denied.

1578
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: Let's see what else they're also implementing just in time decryption,

1579
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: which means that they're going to only decrypt a database

1580
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: right at the moment you're accessing something, which should make

1581
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: it safer and more private. Now, this was a good

1582
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 1: move by Microsoft. I think it shows that they are

1583
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 1: listening to their customers. They are listening to people and

1584
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: is this is a new feature. It's a brave new

1585
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 1: world we are entering by having everything on your screen

1586
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: screenshotted moment by moments that you can access it later.

1587
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 1: But I think Microsoft has put in some pretty good

1588
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: controls here to help at least give people a sense

1589
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 1: of control and a little bit more security for Windows

1590
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: recall eight eight eight rich one oh one eight eight

1591
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. We

1592
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 1: still got a lot more coming up on the show,

1593
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: including some of your emails that you have asked me

1594
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: questions via the website. I will answer some of those.

1595
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what Adobe did. They had some controversial

1596
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: terms going around online. They said, hey, we're going to

1597
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,600
Speaker 1: clear this up. This is a little confusing. It's all

1598
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: right here on rich On Tech. Welcome back to rich

1599
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: On Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking

1600
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:43,680
Speaker 1: technology at triple eight Rich one O one eight eight

1601
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. We

1602
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: got Bobo Danton to this song happy. If you're listening

1603
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 1: on the podcast, you don't get to hear it. I

1604
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: did something kind of different yesterday. I bought my first

1605
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:05,799
Speaker 1: hardcover book in a long time. So I was debating

1606
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: whether I wanted to purchase a hardcover book or just

1607
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,799
Speaker 1: download this book to my kindle. The book is called Eruption.

1608
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard of it, but it

1609
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 1: is by It is by Michael Crichton. Now you might

1610
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: be saying, wait a second, Rich, Michael Crichton has passed away.

1611
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: Yes he did. I passed away in two thousand and eight,

1612
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: and this book is coming out in twenty twenty four.

1613
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 1: How well, his wife found pieces of this novel on

1614
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:39,839
Speaker 1: his computer and she said, I want to get this written,

1615
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: and so she somehow linked up with James Patterson, you know,

1616
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 1: the guy who has written so many great books. He

1617
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: took a look at what Michael Crichton had done and

1618
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: he finished the book. And so if you look at

1619
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: this book Eruption on the cover, it's Michael Crichton and

1620
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 1: James Patterson. Who would have ever thought you'd see those

1621
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: two names together. And I've read pretty much, I think,

1622
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: every single book that Michael Crichton has written, and I

1623
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: love them all. Obviously, he is the author of Jurassic

1624
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: Park and so he did a lot of great sci

1625
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:15,759
Speaker 1: fi books. I think, Yeah, I think I've read almost

1626
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 1: every single one of them. There's a couple that were

1627
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 1: just like okay, but yeah, he's written a lot. So actually,

1628
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: now that I look at this, I didn't read all

1629
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: of them. I read a lot, but not all of them. Wow,

1630
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot anyway, So I was debating whether I

1631
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:31,600
Speaker 1: should get this as a paper as a hardcover or

1632
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: wait for the paperback. My favorite format is obviously the

1633
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,479
Speaker 1: little paperback when it's a if it's a physical book,

1634
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:39,759
Speaker 1: but I just love the kindle because it's so easy

1635
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 1: and you can adjust the size of the text. You

1636
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: can you know, you have that backlighting so you can

1637
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: read it in any light. But I was at Costco

1638
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: and I heard that Costco is doing away with books.

1639
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know if you heard this,

1640
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: but Costco is getting rid of physical books by the

1641
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 1: by Christmas, I guess they're gonna that's it. That's that's

1642
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:58,640
Speaker 1: the end of the line for those. Just like best Buy,

1643
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 1: I got rid of physical media, the DVDs and the CDs.

1644
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:03,759
Speaker 1: If you go into best Buy one of these remodeled stores,

1645
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 1: it looks you're like, wait, what's missing. Oh, it's all

1646
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: of the physical media. It's all gone. And so that's

1647
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 1: what's happening with Costco, I guess and books. But I

1648
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: don't know about you. Every as much as a tech

1649
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 1: guy as I am, I still have this nostalgia for

1650
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: like old school things like a book. So anyway, I

1651
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 1: don't know why I'm telling you all this, except for

1652
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: the fact that I am embarking on a new experience

1653
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 1: of reading a physical hardcover book, and I was trying

1654
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: to figure out last night what to do with the cover.

1655
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 1: You know this cover I dount if you've read a

1656
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,679
Speaker 1: physical book lately, but you've got this like slippery cover

1657
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: on it, Like, do you take it off and put

1658
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: it on your bookshelf until you're done? Some people were

1659
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: saying that you use the inside of the book cover

1660
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: to hold your pages, almost like a bookmark, but or

1661
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 1: do you throw it out? Like sometimes I'll just throw

1662
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: them out, And I'm like, well, that seems wasteful, But

1663
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 1: that's where I'm at. So I am reading this book Eruption,

1664
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to to devouring it like the

1665
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:07,080
Speaker 1: dinos devoured people in Jurassic Park. That's me with this book.

1666
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:11,599
Speaker 1: Adobe this week also came under fire. If you were

1667
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 1: online at all, you saw all of these people getting

1668
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: up in arms over Adobe's updated terms of service. It

1669
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,640
Speaker 1: caused confusion and anger among creative cloud users who were

1670
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 1: worried that Adobe claimed rights over all of their work.

1671
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: That's what it looked like, it said. According to all

1672
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 1: of the screenshots that I saw, users had to agree

1673
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: to these new terms to continue using their apps. People

1674
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: are all worried about forced consent without really understanding what

1675
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: Adobe meant by the terms of service. And Adobe initially

1676
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 1: kind of defended themselves. Their first response was very dismissive, stating, hey,

1677
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: we've had these terms forever. We only recently clarified them,

1678
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: so come on. And then Adobe kind of, you know,

1679
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 1: they took a step back, and they realized, Okay, hold on,

1680
01:26:57,720 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: we're at a moment here where a lot of our

1681
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 1: users are unhappy. What should we do. They looked at

1682
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 1: the situation and they said, look, and then they issued

1683
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:06,479
Speaker 1: a blog post that said, we are trying to be

1684
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 1: transparent about how we check this AI content to moderate it.

1685
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: And most of this involves moderation of AI content because

1686
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,679
Speaker 1: people are starting to use all of these AI tools

1687
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: to generate stuff, and we've heard stories about how they're

1688
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: generating things like deep fakes and all kinds of stuff

1689
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 1: that is not good. And so Adobe wants to be

1690
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: able to check and make sure that people are using

1691
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 1: these in a responsible manner, and so they want to

1692
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: make sure that they can knock people off of these

1693
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: systems if they're violating any terms of use. So Adobe

1694
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: has confirmed that they do not train their generative AI

1695
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: models on your customer content and they do not claim

1696
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: ownership of customers work. So if you generate something on Adobe,

1697
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: as a lot of people are screenshotting saying Adobe owns

1698
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: everything I do, that is not true. Adobe made that

1699
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:05,839
Speaker 1: clear that they do not say that they own everything

1700
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: that you do, So there you go. Also this week,

1701
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch now pairs directly with the dex Comm

1702
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: G seven. This is a first, so if you have

1703
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: a dex Comm G seven glucose monitoring device, it can

1704
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: now pair directly with the Apple Watch. Eliminating the need

1705
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: for users to keep their iPhone nearby for glucose readings.

1706
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: This is a first. These cgms provide glucose readings every

1707
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: five minutes, and it uses Bluetooth to connect directly to

1708
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch. This is a huge win if you

1709
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:42,560
Speaker 1: are a person with diabetes because this means that you

1710
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 1: can now go out with just your Apple Watch and

1711
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 1: this reader on your arm or wherever you keep it,

1712
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,799
Speaker 1: and you can still get those real time readings without

1713
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 1: going through the iPhone and Dexcom says that they are

1714
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: looking into doing similar functionality with both the Samsung watches

1715
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 1: and also the Android watches, but it takes a lot

1716
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 1: to do this, and so they started with the Apple Watch.

1717
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 1: But that's a huge win. I know these things are expensive,

1718
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 1: but if if you want those real time readings, like

1719
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,679
Speaker 1: if you're working out or doing something without your phone,

1720
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:16,360
Speaker 1: this is a huge, huge benefit. All right, coming up,

1721
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:19,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to the creators of the Kinney wireless

1722
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: motion sensor and how you can use it in your

1723
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 1: everyday life. This is rich on Tech. Welcome back to

1724
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you,

1725
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 1: talking technology. The website for the show Rich on tech

1726
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:41,600
Speaker 1: Dot TV. Well, I do test out a lot of gadgets,

1727
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 1: and it takes it takes something really unique for me

1728
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 1: to be interested in featuring it or talking about it,

1729
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 1: or you know, really recommending it. But I found one

1730
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 1: that's that it's kind of tough to explain, but it's

1731
01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:58,240
Speaker 1: really cool and it's very different. Joining me now, Maboud

1732
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 1: and Nikki Zabettian. They are the creators of a device

1733
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 1: called the Kinny. It's a wireless motion sensor and they're

1734
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 1: going to explain why they came up with this and

1735
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 1: what it could be used for. Welcome to the show,

1736
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:15,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you to be here. Yeah, so, so

1737
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: tell me what the Kinni is like. What is this

1738
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:19,599
Speaker 1: device exactly?

1739
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,600
Speaker 9: Well, I can tell you that they it was inspired

1740
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 9: by a family time during COVID. We had a lot

1741
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 9: of together time with our three kids who are now

1742
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 9: young adults, and we wrapped dinner. We were discussing the

1743
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 9: news there had been another story of a young child

1744
01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 9: bringing a gun to school, and our youngest daughter told

1745
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,960
Speaker 9: us a story that happened years ago at a party.

1746
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 9: She was there and the kid who was hosting the

1747
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,479
Speaker 9: party had shown everyone their dad's done, and she said

1748
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 9: that many of the kids had held it, and we

1749
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 9: were pretty shocked.

1750
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 10: And that got us just.

1751
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 9: Wondering if the parent, who even knew as child's had

1752
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 9: access to the gun and permission to handle it. You know,

1753
01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:09,800
Speaker 9: responsible gun owners know how important it is to store

1754
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 9: their firearms safely on but their faced with this challenge.

1755
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 9: How do they actually know that someone has attempted or

1756
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 9: gained access to it?

1757
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 11: Like even biometric stapes have been known to fail, allowing.

1758
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 9: Any fingerprint to open them. There was a big recall

1759
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 9: on Amazon recently. And all gun STAPs come with backup

1760
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:32,600
Speaker 9: keys or combinations to the locks. They have to be

1761
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,519
Speaker 9: stored somewhere, So how do you know if your child

1762
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 9: has discovered those?

1763
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,040
Speaker 11: And that's where our innovative device.

1764
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:42,680
Speaker 10: Kini comes in. So yeah, and we thought about it,

1765
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,719
Speaker 10: and we decided that we could draw from our experience

1766
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 10: in the tech industry and developed device that could address

1767
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:54,559
Speaker 10: these vuln their abilities and help parents keep their family safe.

1768
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:57,639
Speaker 1: So it's a small it's a small device that basically

1769
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,759
Speaker 1: you can you can and put, you can place somewhere.

1770
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:05,760
Speaker 1: So it's got some sort of motion sensor inside and

1771
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:09,479
Speaker 1: when you place it wherever you place it, if it moves,

1772
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,680
Speaker 1: it will send you a text or an email that

1773
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 1: movement has been detected. And this is a little bit

1774
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 1: different than you know, you might get a motion sensor

1775
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 1: motion detector as part of your smart home system, or

1776
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: maybe even you know, something that tells you if a

1777
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 1: drawer was opened. But this is really unique because it's

1778
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:26,759
Speaker 1: movement based.

1779
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:27,400
Speaker 9: And so.

1780
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Explain why you went with the movement based.

1781
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we didn't want anything that required you

1782
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,760
Speaker 2: to wire your house or wire your drawers or.

1783
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 10: You know, like get a large company involved. We wanted

1784
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 10: to need to just toss into a.

1785
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,600
Speaker 2: Drawer or put it right on top of something, and

1786
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 2: you know, have it detect the slightest movement, and you

1787
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:51,320
Speaker 2: know that would start.

1788
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 12: The whole whole process of you know, sending a message

1789
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 12: to our cloud servers and then our cloud service will

1790
01:32:56,920 --> 01:32:57,720
Speaker 12: send you a message and.

1791
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 2: It all takes under about I had ten seconds typically,

1792
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 2: and it's it really is just a great standalone thing.

1793
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 2: You don't have to have a fugere alarm system, you

1794
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 2: don't have to have a contract with some alarm company.

1795
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:14,559
Speaker 10: And it's it's the messages between you and the device.

1796
01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 13: You know, you don't have an alarm company showing up

1797
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 13: at your door to say, you know, you had an

1798
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:20,760
Speaker 13: alarm when we have to see what's going on.

1799
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know.

1800
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 9: Our goal was to really make a device that was

1801
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 9: like effective, affordable and accessible. So all you need is

1802
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 9: an SMS enabled device, which is smartphone, flip phone, even

1803
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 9: a burner phone would work, and your existing Wi Fi.

1804
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 9: And since there is no we didn't want a subscription

1805
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:41,560
Speaker 9: or an app required. You wanted to make it like

1806
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 9: really simple, so you pay once and you're done.

1807
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 1: There are no hidden and how much is it? And

1808
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:47,920
Speaker 1: by the way, I know there's two of you, so

1809
01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:49,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to split the microphone. If you can be

1810
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 1: as close to your mic as possible, I want I

1811
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:53,759
Speaker 1: want to be able to hear you as best as possible.

1812
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:56,440
Speaker 1: How much is the kidney device.

1813
01:33:57,680 --> 01:33:59,640
Speaker 10: Hiding is sixty five MSRP.

1814
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:03,560
Speaker 12: You can probably find yourself a discount on Amazon or

1815
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 12: on our website if you're first time on buyer, but

1816
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:10,560
Speaker 12: the price blows down if you buy our multipacks, you know,

1817
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,840
Speaker 12: or we have three packs that we have flight packs

1818
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 12: for people who have a lot of things that they

1819
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:15,400
Speaker 12: want to monitor.

1820
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: So I've been testing this at home. You know, I

1821
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 1: placed it in like basically a drawer that you know,

1822
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 1: every time you open the drawer, I get a message.

1823
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,840
Speaker 1: And so it's interesting because you think about the power

1824
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 1: of this. So you can monitor all kinds of things,

1825
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 1: and so you would know, let's say someone's snooping in

1826
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 1: your home, right he would Let's say you have a babysitter.

1827
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 1: I don't know you would know traditionally unless you had

1828
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:45,639
Speaker 1: a camera fixed on that or some sort of alarm

1829
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 1: sensor on that, which is probably quite visible. What are

1830
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: the implications of this, like, how are people using this?

1831
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:57,839
Speaker 9: Well, you know, obviously the parents are our target audience

1832
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 9: because there are main responsibilities to keep or children their

1833
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 9: families safe, you know, putting it on a liquor cabinet,

1834
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,880
Speaker 9: a medicine cabinet. But even more so, like I know

1835
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,280
Speaker 9: of parents that have kids who are at that age

1836
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 9: where they're addicted to their phones or video games. So

1837
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 9: you could put a Kenny on top of the game controller,

1838
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 9: or you can stash those phones in a drawer overnight,

1839
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,679
Speaker 9: and you can put Kenny in that drawer and you're

1840
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:23,680
Speaker 9: just telling your kids about it, and that's going to

1841
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:27,240
Speaker 9: deter them from even attempting to use either of those.

1842
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 9: But really, aside from parents, you know, Kenny can be

1843
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 9: used by anyone who has something they want to keep private.

1844
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 9: I mean, people can use it to monitor their work

1845
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 9: related documents. I know, people use it for their confidential

1846
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 9: paperwork and their passports. Teachers have used it on their

1847
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:50,200
Speaker 9: supply closets and their desks. On Airbnb, owners use it

1848
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:53,120
Speaker 9: on the closet and their rental property that has their

1849
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 9: personal belongings in it.

1850
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:59,519
Speaker 11: And you can use it when you have saying large

1851
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 11: events at your home or house guests.

1852
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:04,640
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, you never know if the housekeeper

1853
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 9: or a contractor is just going in a place that

1854
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:11,160
Speaker 9: they don't really need to be and you can't supervise

1855
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:13,720
Speaker 9: them every minute. You know, you're allowing them in your house,

1856
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 9: but you're not following them around, so's there's just I mean.

1857
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 11: Really, the list goes on and on and on.

1858
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 1: And how long's the battery last? I know it's rechargeable.

1859
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:23,960
Speaker 1: How longs the battery last?

1860
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 10: This is something we're really proud of.

1861
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 14: The battery actually lasts over a year, close to do

1862
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 14: two years with normal use. Normal use being you know,

1863
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 14: half a dozen alerts today and once every.

1864
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:40,759
Speaker 10: Two hours of checking.

1865
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:43,719
Speaker 14: What the check in is is to tell the cloud

1866
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 14: servers that the pikinna is still alive, the Wi Fi

1867
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 14: network's still working, and you know the kid or whoever

1868
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 14: you're monitoring hasn't like taken the thing and flushed it

1869
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:52,519
Speaker 14: down the toilet.

1870
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 1: I was going to say, isn't there like a new

1871
01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 1: mode that you're introducing to like let you know that

1872
01:36:57,520 --> 01:36:59,680
Speaker 1: it's still working even if it hasn't seen movement in

1873
01:36:59,720 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 1: a while.

1874
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 13: Well, so the thing that make sure it's still working

1875
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 13: is built in through all the modes, and the two

1876
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:10,719
Speaker 13: modes that we have. A new mode is called stasis mode,

1877
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:14,960
Speaker 13: and it actually alerts you if it doesn't detect motion.

1878
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:20,680
Speaker 13: It isn't alerting you that the O pinny is unresponsible.

1879
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:23,400
Speaker 13: It's alerting me that the Kini is responsive and it

1880
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 13: hasn't detected motions. So there's a little bit of nuance there.

1881
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:30,560
Speaker 1: Okay, we already tell you that, you know, if something.

1882
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,640
Speaker 10: Goes wrong and we haven't heard from the Kinnie, we

1883
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:36,680
Speaker 10: already notify you. But the statis mode is.

1884
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:40,839
Speaker 2: Mostly for people who care about things that are supposed

1885
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 2: to happen that aren't happening.

1886
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:46,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, like, for example, on what if you have an

1887
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:50,559
Speaker 11: elderly parent that is maybe living with you or living alone, and.

1888
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 9: You want to make sure that they're taking their medicines,

1889
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 9: that are opening their medicine cabinet every day, or maybe

1890
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:01,200
Speaker 9: you want to ensure that you're paid exitter it's actually

1891
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 9: coming into by a day to feed and.

1892
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 10: Walk your dog.

1893
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,560
Speaker 9: Or you can even use it to motivate you to exercise,

1894
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 9: Like you could put it on your peloton or your

1895
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:12,120
Speaker 9: treadmill and it will alert you if you haven't touched

1896
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 9: that thing.

1897
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what if you use it to store

1898
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 1: your clothes to hang them dry? Then I don't know,

1899
01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 1: that's a whole other use case. Okay, we've got to run.

1900
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:23,960
Speaker 1: But has this been fun? This experience of creating a

1901
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,040
Speaker 1: product and getting it out there. I mean, it's a

1902
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 1: it's a unique product that you know, you have to

1903
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,680
Speaker 1: really kind of think about the use case scenario for

1904
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:35,439
Speaker 1: this thing. But it is very interesting and useful. Has

1905
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:36,400
Speaker 1: been a fun experience.

1906
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:37,640
Speaker 10: Absolutely.

1907
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 12: We love waking up every day and and you know, handling,

1908
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 12: you know, whether whether it's creating new features or talking

1909
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,679
Speaker 12: with our customers or doing marketing.

1910
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:50,679
Speaker 10: You know, it's it's all a fun, fun little uh yeah.

1911
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 9: I mean the fact that it's like brand new and

1912
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 9: people don't know, you know, they're not googling and looking

1913
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:58,640
Speaker 9: on Amazon for a wireless most in sensor. To do

1914
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:01,920
Speaker 9: the things that we're doing, we really rely on, like

1915
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:04,680
Speaker 9: you know, educating the public and getting the word out,

1916
01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:07,600
Speaker 9: and so we really appreciate you having us on so

1917
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:10,680
Speaker 9: we can, you know, educate people and let them know

1918
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:11,479
Speaker 9: that Kinny is.

1919
01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:12,680
Speaker 10: Something that they need.

1920
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:19,679
Speaker 1: Nikki and Maboud Zabedian, creators of the Kinni wireless motion Sensor,

1921
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 1: thanks so much for coming on the show today. Appreciate it.

1922
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 11: Thank you so much much.

1923
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 1: All Right, the website, I will link it up online.

1924
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 1: Go to rich on Tech dot tv. Hit the light

1925
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:32,440
Speaker 1: bulb you can get a link to the Kinny wireless

1926
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 1: motion sensor. Coming up, we're going to open up the feedback.

1927
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 1: You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to

1928
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:45,720
Speaker 1: rich On Tech. Closing out the show, Let's let's get

1929
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:47,960
Speaker 1: through a couple of quick items before we get to

1930
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 1: the feedbag. First off, eBay will stop accepting American Express

1931
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 1: starting on August seventeenth. The decision was driven by the

1932
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 1: high fees charged by American Express y US for processing

1933
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 1: credit card transaction. Sounds like a little spat between these

1934
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 1: two companies, but if you rely on American Express to

1935
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:09,880
Speaker 1: pay for your eBay stuff, you will no longer be

1936
01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:13,680
Speaker 1: able to do that. As of August seventeenth, Max is

1937
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 1: raising their prices. Max's ad free monthly subscription is now

1938
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 1: seventeen dollars, the ultimate ad free is now twenty one dollars.

1939
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: The annual plans are also going up. A lot of

1940
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 1: people are now picking and choosing which service that they

1941
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:32,599
Speaker 1: subscribe to and dropping them based on the shows they're watching.

1942
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 1: These prices just keep going up. Spotify also raising prices.

1943
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: US subscribers will receive an email over the next month

1944
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 1: explaining the changes. Individual plan basically is going up a

1945
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 1: dollar now it is eleven twelve dollars up from eleven.

1946
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 1: The duo plan is going to seventeen, up from fifteen,

1947
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:55,480
Speaker 1: the Family plan twenty dollars a month, up from seventeen,

1948
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 1: and the student plan still remains the best deal in

1949
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:02,400
Speaker 1: town six dollars a month unchanged. This is the second

1950
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 1: price increase within a year for Spotify, and the Better

1951
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: Business Bureau says they have recorded a significant increase in

1952
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:15,439
Speaker 1: phishing reports, with over twenty three thousand reports since twenty

1953
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 1: twenty one, in more than nine thousand last year alone.

1954
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 1: Keep in mind these are just people reporting these phishing methods,

1955
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 1: which include emails, texts, calls, voicemails, and even legitimate search

1956
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:30,760
Speaker 1: engine tricks. This is when you search something on a

1957
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 1: webs on the on Google or any search engine, and

1958
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:36,799
Speaker 1: it tricks you into calling a phone number that's actually

1959
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: leading to a scammer, or going to a website that

1960
01:41:39,439 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 1: leads to a scammer. How to avoid phishing scams. Be

1961
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 1: very cautious of unsolicited communications claiming suspicious activity on your

1962
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: accounts or account problems. Look at the sender's email address,

1963
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 1: check for any typos, generic language, or if it seems

1964
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 1: like an odd website that could be strained that could

1965
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 1: be a telltale sign. Avoid clicking on links or providing

1966
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:07,400
Speaker 1: financial information and response to unsolicited messages, and you can

1967
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 1: report suspected fraud to the relevant authorities. Let's get to

1968
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 1: the feedbag. I saved a message I actually got from

1969
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 1: my credit card when I did a transaction on it.

1970
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:21,640
Speaker 1: It said, is this fraud? And I'm telling you the

1971
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:25,519
Speaker 1: email I got from my credit card looked very similar

1972
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 1: to a fraud email you might get from an actual

1973
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 1: scam artist and the text message they sent me. So

1974
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 1: this is the thing that the fraud stirs do. They

1975
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 1: send you an alert that looks very similar to what

1976
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: you actually might get. All they do is take the

1977
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:43,880
Speaker 1: alert from Bank of America or Chase or any of

1978
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:46,639
Speaker 1: these other banks or American Express and they just engineer

1979
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:49,360
Speaker 1: it to look exactly the same. But it's leading to

1980
01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:52,880
Speaker 1: their website. So to be very very careful anytime you

1981
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 1: click a link on a text message or a website, anytime,

1982
01:42:57,400 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 1: you just have to really really take very close look.

1983
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 1: Now time for the feedbag segment. Feedback plus the mail

1984
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 1: bag equals feedbag. These are the emails, the comments, and

1985
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:10,920
Speaker 1: the questions I've gotten from you. If you want to

1986
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:13,519
Speaker 1: submit yours, just go to Rich on tech dot tv

1987
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 1: and hit contact. Haas from San Clemente writes in I

1988
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 1: have a Google Voice number, but when I use it

1989
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:22,799
Speaker 1: on some sites, for example offer Up, they don't accept

1990
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: the number and they will not send the verification code.

1991
01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:28,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for your program educating us. Yes, a lot

1992
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:33,120
Speaker 1: of the services will not accept a Google Voice number

1993
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:36,959
Speaker 1: because it's voipe voiceover IP and these could be generated

1994
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 1: in seconds and they could be used for fraud, especially banks.

1995
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 1: They will not My bank will not text my Google

1996
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:46,040
Speaker 1: voice number. It will not do that. So the solution

1997
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:48,360
Speaker 1: is to use your real cell phone number, and that's

1998
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do on offer up. They're trying

1999
01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:52,360
Speaker 1: to make sure you are an actual human and not

2000
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 1: just someone trying to scam other people, so they want

2001
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 1: to use a real phone number. You can also sign

2002
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 1: up for a specific phone number, like from an app

2003
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,760
Speaker 1: called Burner, which can give you a phone number that

2004
01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:07,240
Speaker 1: could accept these one time codes. Yeah, they're doing it

2005
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:08,560
Speaker 1: on purpose because they don't want you to be a

2006
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 1: fraud star. Eleanor from Los Angeles writes in I have

2007
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:15,759
Speaker 1: a bunch of random old devices cell phones, tablets, Android

2008
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 1: and Apple. What's the easiest way to dispose of them?

2009
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:19,880
Speaker 1: Do I need to wipe them clean?

2010
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:20,760
Speaker 5: Yes?

2011
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 1: You should wipe them clean, although a lot of these

2012
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:26,160
Speaker 1: services will promise to wipe them safely for you, but

2013
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:28,960
Speaker 1: I would feel better doing it myself. Go into the

2014
01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 1: settings and do a factory reset, factory restore, factory reset.

2015
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 1: Just google the name of the device plus factory reset

2016
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 1: and you should get the instructions. You can take them

2017
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:42,000
Speaker 1: to best Buy. They do have limits on how many

2018
01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 1: you can take. Staples is a great place to take them.

2019
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 1: Those are two very easy places to drop them off

2020
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:52,639
Speaker 1: and they will accept them. Gizmo Go is another website

2021
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 1: you can go to and check and see if there's

2024
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:06,280
Speaker 1: for like twenty twenty five or thirty dollars. I think

2025
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:08,840
Speaker 1: something like that. They ship this box to your house.

2026
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,880
Speaker 1: You dump all the old cables and cell phones and

2027
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 1: tablets and stuff into this box. You ship it off.

2028
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:20,639
