There's big little there. 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:43.960 There's a play on words there, and I totally did 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.280 not get it. But you were not with us last week. 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:47.840 I know the show was not the same. 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:49.280 That's so sad. 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.560 Lots of people emailed in wondering where you were. 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.840 I bet it was probably my mom. 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.560 She go, have you seen Megan, because she's been gone 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.400 for a week now. Like, No, it's probably in some 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.080 tropical place where I want to share where you are? 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.880 Yeah, I was in Cabo in Mexico. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:09.640 How is Cobo these days? 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.759 It's such a unique place, really fun, beautiful. 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.600 It's been a couple of weeks since I've been there. 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:16.959 Yeah, I think you need to go. 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.319 I think you I would like to. 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:20.600 Maybe don't bring your kids. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.320 Oh okay, we're thinking of that. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.640 I mean, I feel like it's a fun place to 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.679 just have a good time, let loose, like Vegas, but Mexico. 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:29.959 Oh. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:34.560 Interesting, there's no gambling though. No, okay, then I'm out. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.520 Oh okay, but you like tequila. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.600 Maybe I might do that. 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:46.080 We'll see, have a have a sip. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.920 Followed by a lot of water, one little sip and 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.120 then I'll pass out. Uh, let's see what should we 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.600 talk about first this week? I guess we'll talk about Oh, 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.680 you want to talk about the Instagram thing first? Okay, 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.960 let's talk about Instagram removing what I called the creepy 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.520 feature ever and I call it. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.600 The most necessary feature. 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.560 So the Instagram, In case you did not know, they 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.040 removed a feature this week called following. And I actually 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.240 got a bunch of emails about this and dms on 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.400 Instagram from people saying where did this feature go? And 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.919 I said, don't you watch the TV? Yeah, or look 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.520 at my tweets or look at my Instagram stories. I mean, 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.280 we posted this, they don't. She's like no, I was like, oh, 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.079 I don't know where to go from there. So Instagram 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.880 ditches what's called the following tab. This was in your 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.919 activity feed, so it's look, you either knew about it 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.920 or you didn't. You either used it or you didn't 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.720 use it. It's the part next to the hearts where 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.360 you look at all your likes and who's following you 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.760 and who commented on your stuff. Next to that, you 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.880 would see all the stuff that your friends were doing 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.640 on Instagram. Yeah, and sometimes you would see some pretty 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.240 interesting movements from your. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.720 Friends, pretty weird, you know, pretty weird. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.080 You basically learn what your friends are into. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:55.000 It was very. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.520 Telling, like it, I mean, I don't know certain people. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:02.400 I was like, oh okay, like just just certain people, sorry, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:07.280 specifically men liking like a lot of model stuff. And 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.040 it's like, oh, okay, you know, I don't know. I 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.120 feel like if you're like dating someone, that's kind of 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.919 a nice feature to have, or it's stalking. 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:17.920 Well that's so that's the thing. I mean. 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.880 Okay, So two sides of this, yes, so number one 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:22.000 do you think? 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.840 Well, okay? For by the way, Instagram. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.120 Said that nobody really cared about this or used it 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:28.800 which I don't know if that's true. 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:30.920 I feel like they're kicking themselves. 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.239 Here's here's what I think. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.240 Here's the reason why I think Instagram got rid of it. 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.000 It was a it was the it was a very 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.680 unprivate part of the site. So when people are on Instagram, 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.960 you can see who you're following. You can you can 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:45.960 kind of see like now they've done the thing where 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.920 like if I go to a picture that you've already liked, 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.560 it'll h and you're my friend, It'll put your name 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.960 at the top and be like Megan like this picture, 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.000 or like I can see you know my friends that 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.760 like that picture. Oh that's interesting, they follow this person too. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.840 But this was like one place where you can go 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.080 you can see like just everything they've liked in the 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:02.680 past hour. 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:04.240 Yeah, now that's gone. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.760 So I feel like Instagram did this because they wanted 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.280 to make Instagram a little bit more private, more personal. 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.000 Well I feel like they did it because they want 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:17.080 people to like more pictures that they would have hesitated liking. Okay, 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.560 so now you're talking about some creepers that you obviously 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.520 have seen on there, that have liked a bunch of 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.960 stuff because they didn't care or they didn't know this existed. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.520 But now that people are like, oh nobody can see 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.960 what I'm doing, they can be all the stuff be 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:29.720 like crazy. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.359 Yeah, I mean whatever, it's fine, but it's it's just 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.719 I think, like it's they're going in a different direction, 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.560 and so now I feel like it's harder to like 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:43.760 discover stuff. 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.360 You know, well they have those explore pages. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.159 Right, but you have to like think about that. 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:49.840 You got to think about that. I agree. I never 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:50.599 used the following. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.440 I would maybe look at it once a year, so 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:54.520 I never really did daily. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.120 I just occasionally be like okay, and then I would 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:02.640 see like Rich Demurrel likes food something I don't know, 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.560 and then I'm like, oh, that looks interesting. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.960 I did discover one thing on Instagram, though, and this 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.320 is really it's a sad state of affairs with the 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.400 whole influencer culture and the whole everything. Yeah, and you 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.200 can do this on Instagram in a million different ways. 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.159 But if you just look at the similar pictures to 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.680 whatever you're looking at. Like, let's say you go to 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.719 a cool restaurant that's in Los Angeles that has a 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.400 cool Instagram wall. Well, if you tap the location, the 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.760 place on Instagram, you will see your same exact picture 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.680 taken a thousand different times from a thousand different people. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.240 It's all the same. There's nothing unique. It's really sad. 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.400 You think you're being so cool by getting this cool 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:46.039 angle or whatever anything exactly, take your pick. It's all 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.320 been done. And the other thing, and this is my 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.839 other new trick on Instagram, is that if you go 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.839 to the explore page and you look at anything that's 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:58.599 interesting on the Explore page, like here is this new 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.000 phone that's like this weird looking phone, and literally I 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.520 just scroll up and this one, of course is not 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.960 really working because it's too new. But let's say you 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.440 just like look at a picture of an iPhone. It 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.479 says the perfect case. It will literally just you scroll 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.040 up and it's the same thing over and over. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:15.040 Same thing with influencers. 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.360 Let's say you like a fitness influencer, scroll up after 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.440 you tap on their picture, and you'll see a thousand 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.320 of the same type of fitness influencers. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:22.960 It's all the same. 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:23.800 It's so crazy. 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.480 So anyway, so much out there. There's nothing new on 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.320 Instagram anyway. Yeah, all right, you got a question for us, Megan. 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:37.520 Yes, I do this first question, Concept Conception wrote in 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.120 on Rich on tech dot tv. If you ever want 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.160 to send Rich a question, you just go to rich 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.080 on tech dot tv and just click the contact page. 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:52.240 So Concept writes, dear Rich on October fifth, I downloaded 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.040 the latest update for my iPhone eight and then he 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.760 said that the bedtime feature is always on the alarm screen, 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.320 his bedtime alarm, and he can't get rid of it, 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.360 and so his concern is that he might accidentally activate it. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.560 My concerns, I may actually activate it. What do you suggest. 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.320 I'm a big fan of you, So I guess. 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.640 Are you saying that or is that still? That was 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.400 definitely okay? I didn't know if you switched back to Megan. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:24.600 Okay, Yeah, the bedtime in the in iOS thirteen, bedtime 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.560 is now in the forefront. So when you go to 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.800 your alarms, it is now on the alarm page at 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.080 the top. And that does freak out a lot of 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.640 people because nobody uses bedtime. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.360 They don't really do you use it? No? 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.080 No, nobody does except me. I love bedtime. I will 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:43.040 tell you why. Why Because when you say. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.480 The alarms, I know meanime no, but like I have 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.520 like every minute. 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.600 Oh my gosh, trouble waking up. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.400 It's it's like somehow Megan got the alarms go by 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:54.880 like the thirty second mark. 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:55.800 Yeah. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.040 The reason why Bedtime is so great is because when 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.680 you set a bedtime alarm, the alarm arm gradually comes on. 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.400 So normal alarm on the iPhone is like that. 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:11.720 Yeah, bedtime starts out soft and it gently gets louder. Yes, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.040 And so I love that. For that feature alone, it 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.160 is worth the price of admission. Take the time to 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.640 set up bedtime. I also think that it's easier to 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.920 set the alarm for bedtime because you just use the 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.920 slider and you can also see how much time you're 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:26.880 going to sleep. So what happens is when I get 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.600 into bed at sadly really early in the night, I 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.840 will put my wake up time, which is generally really early, 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:35.880 and then I'll put the little slider and see if 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:37.920 I have maybe like fifteen minutes to kind of like 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.760 surf you know, Instagram before I go to bed, because 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.480 I'm like, oh cool, I'm getting six hours and forty 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.400 five minutes of sleep if I go to sleep at 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.839 nine pm versus eight thirty or nine thirty. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.880 I do the same thing like in my brain in 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:51.520 your brain. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.480 Though, but this does it all for It calculates to forty. 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.240 So anyway, conceptsy on. I think that's how I don't know. 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.679 I think that's how we say there's no cea conception. 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:05.240 Oh conception. Yeah, maybe, well we don't try. We try. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.600 So I say, embrace the Bedtime and you can turn 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.120 it off, but you're not gonna get it off that 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.400 main screen. Let me see if I turn it off fully, 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:13.679 does it go off the main screen? 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:14.679 Now it's still going to be there. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.080 So I think Apple's just trying to put this on 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.320 the main screen so that more people use it and 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.960 realize try it out. If you haven't tried Bedtime, just 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.960 try it. It's a little complicated because it looks intimidating 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.439 because you have to set like every day that you 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.000 want it to come up. And you might say, well, 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.280 I have different alarms for different days. But just go 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.080 in every night and before you go to bed, just 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.720 hit bedtime and move the slider to the time you 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.480 want to wake up. It tells you how long you 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:37.959 get to sleep, which is really nice. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:38.960 I love that feature. 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.360 So you can set a different alarm for every day. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.000 Well, you just have to go in manually into it. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.760 You can't automatically set it, but you. 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.280 Just use a little slider. It's it's easy. 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.679 Like if I want to wake up at four am tomorrow, boom, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:49.920 and I can go to bed at eight pm. 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.520 Nice knowing that I get eight hours of sleep. 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.040 So yeah, some people can do that math in their head, 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.960 but it's really nice. And again, the main benefit to 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.040 me is the fact that you can get that gradual alarm. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.320 I don't care what time you're waking up. Nobody wants 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.520 to be blared awake. No. In fact, a lot of 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.280 people are switching to these lights that gradually come up 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.120 because I think there's a lot of health research that 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.320 says you don't want to be like rocked awake, No, 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.800 you want to be gently awoken. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.360 Well, back in the day, when we used to just 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.960 sleep right when the sun went down, exactly woke up 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.600 when you know sunrise, people. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.560 Didn't have to work for a living. Ye, go outside, hunted, yeah, 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.280 go kill some animal word yeah. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.199 Yeah, and they slept like twelve hours. 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:31.800 Twelve hours. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.000 I mean if the sun sets at six pm and 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.920 then you the sun rises at like six am, yeah, 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.440 they probably slept a lot more. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:44.280 Some good advice from Mashable on password recovery questions. Every 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.080 website nowadays seems like it's getting more and more complicated 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.160 when it comes to setting your password. And I think 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:52.840 people are hip to the fact that they don't really 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.040 log in using Facebook or Instagram or Facebook or Twitter 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.960 anymore or Google. Twitter was there for a minute, but 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.319 most of the time it's either Facebook and Google as 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.400 a log in. I generally don't recommend using those as 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:09.000 a log in. Recommend using a unique password and your 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:09.839 you know, email. 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:10.760 Address for every website. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:12.640 And if you don't know how to do this, or 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.840 if it's too much work, you know, maybe invest in 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.760 one of these password programs, which last Pass is a 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.040 really good one. One Password is another one, and also 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.400 dash Lane is another one that I really like. And 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.240 the advice from Mashable Jack Morse writing and Mashable, I 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.160 love this advice. He says, do not answer those stupid 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.240 questions that they ask you to recover your account truthfully, 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.960 because a lot of times, like especially United Airlines, it's ridiculous. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.640 It's like literally, what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:42.800 It's like, okay, for ninety nine percent of people are 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:43.880 gonna put vanilla chocolate. 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.040 So there has to be a better way to. 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.040 Choose an answer that is not your true answer, it's 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.160 off the cuff. And also with friends, a lot of 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:52.760 people like what street did you grow up on? 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:54.240 Like I know that. Yeah. 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.440 For some people pick weird things and write in weird answers. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.199 Now you might be saying, well, rich, how am I 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.400 going to remember these weird answers? 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:02.360 Two ways to do it. 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.120 I sometimes take a screenshot of the random answers that 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:06.839 I make up for these questions, which can work, but 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.960 then you have to keep track of the screenshot what 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.520 he's recommending. And this is actually a little bit smarter, 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.920 and I do this as well. Inside these password managers, 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.680 the big ones, you can leave a note associated with 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:21.000 a website, so in addition to your password, you can say, 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.600 like first car. Everyone that knows you knows your first car. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.240 That's a good friend. Now, I hope your good friends 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.240 aren't hacking into your accounts. But my point is, okay, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.800 that was scary. But the point is you don't want to, 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.240 you know, It's like it's like there's only so much 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.120 information about you that's personal that people don't know. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.679 You've been around for a while people know a lot 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:43.520 of stuff about. 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.240 You, So good advice from Jack, make up those random 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:47.920 answers and then just keep it in one of the 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.080 secure notes on your password manager. And you might be 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.920 saying rich, but if someone hacks my password manager, they 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.360 get all this stuff. Well, you got to secure the 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.640 password manager and big time you're. 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:04.080 Really DISCREETE five x one two four two nine one 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:05.319 that is rich as past. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.679 Word, but use that password, but also use two factor 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.120 authentication and the app I recommend for that is AUF 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.320 the A U T H Y. Again, you had to 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.280 have multiple layers of this stuff because it's you gotta, 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.319 you know, gotta keep on your toes at this because 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.360 there's just people out there every day that are trying 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:21.040 to get this stuff. 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.160 I mean, like, why are we working on the autonomous 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.200 car when we should be working on the fingerprint reader 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:27.160 for all things? 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.000 I'm all about that. What happened to that? Why do 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.000 we stop doing That's how I mean the fact. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.640 Yeah, like the face of lot maybe that's our side job. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.599 But face unlock has been on the iPhone for a 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.280 couple of years now. Why aren't websites like able to 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.840 tap into that? Maybe maybe for security reasons they can't. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.560 I don't know, all right, Megan, Okay, we're not going 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.040 to solve the world's problems right now. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:47.720 You got a question. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.960 Yes, This next question is pretty straightforward. It's from Kim, 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.600 and she wants to know. Does your book have a 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.480 section on how to keep your iPhone and other accounts secure? 0:13:58.679 --> 0:13:58.839 Oh? 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.679 My god, we just talked about that, Kim, were you're 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.160 not listening? Oh wait, she doesn't know, because she if 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:04.800 anything I was, you weren't listening. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.080 Did you say that your book has a section? 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.960 No, the book does not, do we I mean? The 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.480 thing is the book one hundred and one iPhone Tips 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.319 and Tricks available now on Amazon, paperback and ebook. It's 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.280 all about iOS thirteen. I do talk about privacy in 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.400 the book a lot, because there are so many new 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.520 privacy features in iOS thirteen, and there's also a lot 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.480 of privacy considerations in general. 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:26.880 Nowadays. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.600 I feel like everything comes down to privacy. So is 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.400 there a certain section of the book. No, But will 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.680 you be smarter about privacy when you use the book? 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.200 I think so, And I think the main thing with 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.360 privacy comes down to understanding what apps are trying to 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.400 get a hold of when they're you know, like, my 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:45.880 wife came out to me the other day and she's like, 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:47.800 what's this and she shows me that new screen. You 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.240 haven't downloaded iOS thirteen yet, you haven't seen it, but 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.360 it's a screen that gives little blue dots on a 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.880 map of all the places that you've gone and all 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.320 the times that an app has accessed your location. And 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.120 it's really scary because you're like, why guy, dark Sky 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.560 accessing my location in all these different places? And I said, well, 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.680 dark Sky has a feature that tells you when it's 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.160 about to rain. That's why it wants to know where 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.800 you are at all times, so it can tell you that. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.520 If you don't sell that data, well, usually the privacy 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.160 policy of a lot of them, they don't like dark Sky, 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.120 I don't think sells that data, but yes they could. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.320 Dark Sky is like the it's. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.040 A cool app for the weather. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.080 It's a cool weather app, and its main thing is 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:27.760 that it tells you when it's going to rain wherever 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.400 you are. It'll say light drizzle starting right now, in 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.760 two minutes, and all of a sudden, you'll go outside 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.360 and yeah, light drizzle, and it's that's their kind of magic. 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.040 But they need to know where you are at all times. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.960 For that Magic Citizen, another app that we talk about 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:41.440 all the time. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.520 It scary, scariest. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.480 If you just want to be scared about where you live, 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.360 just download Citizen, put it on your phone. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:48.440 Freak. 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.320 You will just hear about every armed robbery within five 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:51.800 feet of you. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:57.440 It's insane guy with gun down the block and like okay, right. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:57.760 Take cover. 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.960 Yeah, And that app again needs your location at all 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.000 times so it can tell you about the scariest stuff 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.160 happening literally steps away from you. 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.560 We're so there's always. 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.360 Something, especially like Hollywood, there's always like you know, crazy 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:14.760 man running with like. 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.720 No, it's like naked man running. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.160 Knife, yes, with chicken and knife. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.160 Yeah, it's crazy, it really is. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.080 But anyway, it's a great app, but it needs to 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.640 know your location so that it can understand where you 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.520 are and tell you all the scary stuff that's happening 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:28.000 around you. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:29.040 If you don't want that. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.600 In iOS thirteen, the first time that little thing pops up, 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.320 just say don't allow, or you can say only allow 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.120 while using the app. So in iOS thirteen you have 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.080 the option for almost every app, I think it's every 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.320 app now to either allow location once or only when 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.480 the app is open, which is kind of nice. And 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.160 then the other thing is Bluetooth that all the apps 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.480 are asking for. We've covered that in a previous podcast. 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.200 But every app wants access to your Bluetooth as well. 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.440 If it doesn't need it, don't give it the access. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.560 That's what you need to know. Let's see what should 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:03.080 talk about next. This is an interesting little experience that 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:08.120 I did yesterday. It is the Bride of Frankenstein Hollow Ride. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.920 This is a VR experience in a car. You sit 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:14.359 in the backseat of a car, you put on a 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.120 VR headset, and you ride in this car while you're 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.639 in VR like a ride. It's so weird. Don't call 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.520 it a ride, I know, whatever you do. Lots of 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.640
