1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Google opens its first retail store. Ikea teams up with

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: Sons for a new picture frame speaker. Suddenly I'm into

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: journaling plus your tech questions answered.

4
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: What's going on?

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Damiro and this is Rich on Tech, the

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think you.

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: Should know about.

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: It's also the place where I answer the questions you

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: send me.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: My name is Rich Dmiro.

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: Once again, I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Welcome to the show. And boy was

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: it a scorcher in Los Angeles this week, really really

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: hot here in Los Angeles. It also happened to be

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: opening a reopening.

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what you want to call it.

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: I called it California Independence Day, but that's not the

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: right explanation because that sounds like something bit different. So

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: it's really California. I think they called it reopening Day.

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, but anyway, the irony of that day

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 1: is that it was like a really hot day this week.

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: And I also didn't really leave my house that day,

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: even though it was like the first day where everything,

24
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: I mean all the restrictions pretty much all the restrictions

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: were lifted. I also went into KTLA this week, which

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: was kind of cool. We're celebrating thirty years for the

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Morning News and I've been there for ten of those thirty,

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: which is wild. So I've been there for a third

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: of the time that our show has existed. So I

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: did an interview, was at the station, and you know,

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: we did the interview in the parking lot, but I

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: did go into the station to like chat with some folks.

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: And everyone's like, when are you coming back? When are

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: you coming back? When are you coming back?

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't know, I don't know, I

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: don't know, but I think I came up with a

37
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: plan to just kind of go back, so we'll see.

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: I think my plan is going to work. But they're

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't really my decision. It's still not

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: my decision. I mean, I have people that I answer to.

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: I know, it seems like I don't, but I do,

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: and they are the ones that call the shots, and

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: believe me, I've been asking them like, hey, when do

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: I get to go back? And it's a little complicated,

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: it's a little inside baseball, but you know, I do

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of my segment on the anchor desk which

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you know right now, we haven't been having other people

48
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: on that desk, so that's you know, it's just a

49
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: lot of different things. And I think they just got

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: me comfortable. They just got comfortable with me working from

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: home and it seemed to work. So but at this point,

52
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, the every comment on everything I posted, like

53
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: rich when you go back in. So I'm working on it.

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: Believe me, We're trying to make me back in there.

55
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I've gotten comfortable working from home. I have

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: everything at my fingertips, which I love, but I also

57
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: missed the energy and you know, the professionalism of working

58
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: at work. I mean, I have like a real studio

59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: with real lighting and real microphones and real everything, and

60
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: so that's that's kind of nice. So I'll be back

61
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: there soon. But yeah, interesting anyway, let's get to a

62
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: couple of things this week. By the way, the stories

63
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: I did on KTLA just went wild. It was so

64
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: so interesting to watch the Tesla of e bikes. The

65
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: van move story went completely viral. I don't know how,

66
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: but it's it was like the top story on the

67
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: KTLA website for so many days, like they were just one.

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: Everyone was like scratching their heads, like, what's going on here?

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out the source. It just seemed to

70
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: go viral, like worldwide, and so it just got picked

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: up and people just kept clicking it. Same thing on

72
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: on my Facebook page, Facebook dot com slash rich on tech.

73
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: People were watching the video that I did, and it

74
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: was like a slow burn, Like sometimes things don't go

75
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: viral instantly. It takes a little bit, but all of

76
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like this video just started like comments

77
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: and shares and everything just started pouring in.

78
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: So that was pretty cool.

79
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: And then this other video I did on this oh

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: my gosh, this ice cube challenge not challenge, this ice

81
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: cube grilling trick. I was at my friend's house and

82
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: he's grilling up burgers and he has ice cubes on them,

83
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: which I had never seen before, and so I was like,

84
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: what's going on here?

85
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: And he's like, oh, I read a.

86
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: Trick where it cooks the the inside doesn't get dried

87
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: out while the outside cooks.

88
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, something like that, and so.

89
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: I was like, wait what, And so I took a picture,

90
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: I posted it and next thing you know, people are

91
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: going wild over that on my Facebook page and then

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: we talked about it on KTLA and then that story

93
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: went viral, you know, so they shared it with all

94
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: the different stations and then I mean it was it

95
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 1: was a good week. So I will There was actually

96
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: another story I did on the shower head that I'm

97
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: I'll talk about a little bit later in the show,

98
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: but a new shower head that's all high tech, and

99
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: that went viral. So I mean it was just pretty wild.

100
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: But so and I guess I can talk about you know,

101
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: I'll just go into the first story of the week

102
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: with this because I've been keeping a new journal with

103
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: Day one because they inspired me because they got purchased

104
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: by Automatic and Automatic is the company that runs WordPress

105
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of other things, and so once

106
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: and I was familiar with day one, and I've been

107
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: keeping a paper journal since the beginning of the year.

108
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: But I really am bad about writing in it because

109
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: A my handwriting is horrible, and B it's really tough

110
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the night to like sit there

111
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: and like right before you go to sleep, like remember

112
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: to write something down. And this is like one page

113
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: a day kind of or one line a day, And

114
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: so I would be really bad about it, and I

115
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: knew once I started writing in that journal that I

116
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: really enjoyed doing it because it makes you reflect on

117
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: your day. You remember little moments that your kids did

118
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: or that you had in your life. And so I

119
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: got the journal bug, but I just the execution was

120
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: not right. And so once day one was purchased by Automatic,

121
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I've got this app on

122
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: my phone. Let me just start using it because it's

123
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: so much easier on our phones anyway. I know we

124
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be before we go to sleep, and so it

125
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: takes me just a second to type out a little

126
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: something on my you know, daily journal. But then I

127
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: installed it at my computer and now I'm like, mister journal.

128
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: So I'm journaling throughout the day with little moments. And

129
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about with the with the winds at

130
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: work is I started a work journal. So now I

131
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: can like remember little things for work, like things that worked,

132
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: things didn't work, and you know, little wins. I can

133
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: take screenshots. I mean, I've got to say, if you've

134
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: ever been kind of like thinking about journaling, download the

135
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: day one app. And the reason why I say this

136
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: is because there's a lot of journaling apps out there

137
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: day one seems.

138
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: To be the best.

139
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: It was independent before they got purchased, and now that

140
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: they're purchased, hopefully they should be around for a long time.

141
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the idea for a journal, right you

142
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: keep it for a really long time. But they also

143
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: some really cool features. Privacy is front and center, so

144
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: it's end to end encryption, which is in every entry

145
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: and every journal. Now they're going to make it so

146
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: that you can share to like Tumblr and WordPress, which

147
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: is interesting. I don't need that, but maybe some people would.

148
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: You can also publish these as hardcover books, so that's

149
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: kind of cool, is that you can. You know, I

150
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: don't know how you know deep and sentimental you're getting

151
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: in your journal, but you know, it could be nice

152
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: to print it out and maybe, you know, if you're

153
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: not ready to share it with your family, like lock

154
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: it away and you know, until whatever, and then they

155
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: can open it and for your kids.

156
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the way I feel.

157
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: It's like it's such an I don't know, Maybe are

158
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: my kids gonna want to peer into my mind as

159
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, I mean when they're older,

160
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, when I'm gone. I mean, it's kind

161
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: of weird, right, but it's also kind of cool. It's

162
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Android, and browser extensions.

163
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: And again it's just you can do audio, you can

164
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: do pictures.

165
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: So like last night, my wife and I went to dinner,

166
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: and so you know, I just posted like the picture

167
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: in there. I said, Hey, first dinner out since the

168
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: pandemic kind of not as over, but you know, in

169
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: Los Angele in California, they you know, they lifted all

170
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: the restrictions, and so we went out for dinner. And

171
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: I put that in there as I got, you know,

172
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: something that I would see in my photos, but I

173
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: might not remember the significance. I mean I probably would

174
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: because it's a big one, but it's just kind of

175
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: fun to put it in the journal. So anyway, Day

176
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: one really cool, and I mentioned it with the work

177
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: stuff because with my stories this week that did really well,

178
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: I put them in my journal as kind of like

179
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: a little win, you know, like here's a you know,

180
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: a screenshot of the top stories on the KTLA website.

181
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: It just reminds me that, like, you know, the things

182
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: that I'm doing do have an impact, and it's just

183
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: it's just kind of fun to to I don't know

184
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: to do this, so ma'am let me know.

185
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: If you keep a journal.

186
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty cool. All right, let's get to

187
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: the first question of the show. Maria says, good morning.

188
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: We're ready to purchase a laptop for our daughter. She

189
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: recently graduated from Sonora.

190
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: I'll just leave that out.

191
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: She's gonna attend you see Santa Cruz and major in

192
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: biology and genetics. What's the best laptop on the market,

193
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: to the best of your knowledge? And a backup drive?

194
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's called. Where can we find one?

195
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: Thank you? Maria?

196
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: Uh, all right, so I would recommend I know you're

197
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: gonna say.

198
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: Oh, Rich with the Apple fanboy again.

199
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, it's it's gonna be a MacBook. I mean

200
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be a MacBook. And I would recommend

201
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: depending on your budget, because MacBooks are more expensive than

202
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: you can buy a five hundred dollars Windows computer. But look,

203
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: it's not gonna last you. If you look at you

204
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: know what I would consider to be kind of the

205
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Windows equivalent of the MacBook. It's probably the surface and

206
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: you know that's gonna run you a thousand dollars by

207
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: the time you get all the accessories. So I would say,

208
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: go with the MacBook, the m one, the MacBook Air.

209
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be about a thousand bucks a little bit

210
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: less with the student discount. Definitely take advantage of that.

211
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: And I think it's gonna last her. I know it's

212
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna last her all four years. Maybe if she's doing

213
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: biology and genetics, maybe.

214
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: It's five years.

215
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: But it's it's a little bit more expensive, but you

216
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: have to do the math over the years, and in

217
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: that time it will pay. I say it'll pay for

218
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: itself because she's gonna get a great job out of this.

219
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: This computer is gonna be no fuss. It's gonna work.

220
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: You've got the Apple stores to bring it to if

221
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: there's a problem. While I don't recommend any type of

222
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: insurance on it, a lot of people do get that.

223
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't personally get that. I don't recommend it. I

224
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: would say, if something ever happens to the computer, just

225
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: pay for the you know, the repair out of pocket,

226
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: and if you want to get insurance.

227
00:09:59,559 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: You know.

228
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: What I I recommend to people is just save the money,

229
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: like save like twenty five dollars a month and put

230
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: it in like a little little account on the side

231
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: and just call it your your own Apple insurance, right,

232
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: and then if something happens by that time, let's say

233
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: it's four months down the road, you have one hundred

234
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: dollars towards your repair. And let's say it's six months

235
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: down the road, now you have you know, six times

236
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: twenty five whatever that is. Oh, I need to do

237
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: my math. Oh that's terrible that I don't know that

238
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: I should know that. That's a buck fifty, so a

239
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: dollar one hundred and fifty dollars. Now, the two repairs

240
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: that I've gotten on my MacBooks have both been six

241
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars repairs. They've been the screen, so those were

242
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: that was a pretty hefty repair. You'll be surprised to

243
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: find that a lot of the little things that go wrong,

244
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: if they do go wrong, Apple will cover because you

245
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: have a warranty on this device.

246
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: So that's my advice.

247
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, if you want to go

248
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: with the MacBook Pro, if you have a little bit

249
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: more in your budget, that would be just a little

250
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: bit more equipped for her. But I don't think she's

251
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: doing video editing. I don't think she's doing a lot

252
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: of things that require that. So my advice is to

253
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: get the most memory, and I think they max out

254
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: I think either eight or sixteen on these computers. But

255
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: the most memory and the most hard drive. That's my

256
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: advice there. Now, as for a backup, you can just

257
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: go to Costco buy a standard hard drive there. Last

258
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: I saw it was like fifty nine bucks for like

259
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: a two terabyte drive. Very inexpensive. Get that and plug

260
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: it into the computer and do what's called a time

261
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: machine backup. It will back everything up to the hard drive.

262
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: Every time you plug in that hard drive, it will

263
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: back up the machine automatically. And if you ever have

264
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: a problem, you know, keep the two things separate. If

265
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: you ever have a problem with the hard drive on

266
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: the computer, you just restore it from that time machine.

267
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: Backup and it will be perfect. So good luck to

268
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: your daughter.

269
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: Very exciting that she's going to college and some fun

270
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: times ahead for her. Google is opening its first ever

271
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: retail store. They say, their first ever physical retail store.

272
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: So I think they've had pop ups here and there,

273
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: but this is there first ever. You know, they don't

274
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: call it a permanent store. They don't call it a

275
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: permanent space.

276
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: You never know.

277
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: It's Google because they cancel things so quickly over there.

278
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: But June seventeenth is the date opened in New York City,

279
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: and I actually asked them if I can go to

280
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: this store and they said no, They're like, we're not

281
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: doing any opportunities for for you. I don't know why,

282
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: because they let in a whole bunch of like, you know,

283
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Team Pixel folks, but I guess for folks like me,

284
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: They're like, nah, we don't really want the coverage from you.

285
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, I covered it anyway for KTLA because they

286
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: did send me some pictures and videos and it looks

287
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: really cool.

288
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: It looks very.

289
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: Googly, it's got you know, these nice neutral colors. It's

290
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: got a lot of different spaces. It's a pretty big store.

291
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: So the thing about this store is that, look, it's

292
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: not an Apple store, but it's, you know it kind

293
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: of it might be a similar space. Apple has like

294
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: five hundred stores, and this is Google's first, so they've

295
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: got some catching up to do. But we also know

296
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: the market share of Pixel is a lot lower, and

297
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: a lot of these Google devices, you know, they don't

298
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: have the same ecosystem that Apple does. But the reality

299
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: is this could be a chicken or the egg kind

300
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: of thing, because when you think about why a lot

301
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: of people get something like an iPhone or a MacBook

302
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: or whatever, it's because you know, you have a place

303
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: to go when you have trouble with that. And so

304
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: if you knew that for pixel or you can go

305
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: somewhere to learn about it, or you can go somewhere

306
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: for troubleshooting, maybe you'd get more of those products. So

307
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: or if you can try them out. I mean, if

308
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: you've been to like a big box retailer so sad

309
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: these days, you go in there and everything's broken, and

310
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: there's dust everywhere, and the displays are dirty and just

311
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: so unkept, and it's one of these things where like

312
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: I am truly grateful that I get this stuff sent

313
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: to me by the tech companies. I get to play

314
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: with it in the you know, privacy of my own

315
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: home and the comfort of my home, and and I

316
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: get to form my opinions on a lot of stuff

317
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: based on what I test out. And if I didn't

318
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: have that, like if my only frame of reference was

319
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: like going to a big box retailer and looking at

320
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: these things. A lot of times they have like you know,

321
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: those those security ropes on them.

322
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: They're they're all tied.

323
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: Down, you know, they're all just like grimy and yucky,

324
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: and half of them are broken, displays don't work, or

325
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: it's a dummy model. I mean, that's really tough to

326
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: make a six to six hundred to one thousand dollars

327
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: decision on a device that you can barely touch and

328
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: hold right, and you can buy it and return it,

329
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: but that's not very likely for most people. People don't

330
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: want to do that. So I think that these are smart.

331
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: I think it's a good way for people to actually

332
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: play with gadgets that are at these stores and that

333
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: Google cells and I thought it was kind of cool.

334
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: In their blog post, Google said that they actually built

335
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: a full scale mockup of the space at their hangar

336
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: in Mountain View, which is so cool.

337
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: Only Google would do that, right.

338
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure Apple does to me more stuff, but this

339
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: is also kind of just showing off everything how Google

340
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: products work.

341
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: They say it's a light filled space.

342
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: That's centered around experiencing the helpfulness of our products, which

343
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, it looks that way. There's a cool little

344
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: exhibit where I guess it'll be changing every so often,

345
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: but right now it's a place where you step into

346
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: like this half dome and there's a whole bunch of

347
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: big screens around you, and you speak and your whatever

348
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: you say is instantly translated in real time into twenty

349
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: four different languages and displayed on the screen.

350
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: So I thought that was cool.

351
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: And again they do say there's an expert store team

352
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: on hand to answer questions, offer repairs, and troubleshoot.

353
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: Issues on the spot. So that's key right there.

354
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: And I've talked about this before on the podcast, but

355
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: I will likely be switching to the new pixel when

356
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: it comes out, the Pixel six. I've been on the

357
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: iPhone for a while. While I love it, I am

358
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: ready for a change. And I do love the Pixel camera,

359
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: so if they mix a good camera with good hardware,

360
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: I am totally sold and I will be.

361
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: Switching to that.

362
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: So I do think that that Google gets kind of

363
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: a raw deal, like Apple gets so much attention. But

364
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: and they you look and there's no denying they do

365
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: things really really well. But you know, Google really has

366
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: an amazing thing happening with their Pixel. It's just that

367
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: it's just not in the public kind of eye enough,

368
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: Like people don't give it enough credit for all the

369
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: amazing things it does, whether it's the camera, whether it's

370
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: the software, whether it's the you know, you know, Google lens,

371
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: the way you search, the way voice assistant works. And

372
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: I think part of that is because there's just not

373
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: a strong ecosystem. There's no real companion watch. The hardware

374
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: has been every single pixel, the hardware has been hit

375
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: or miss, and it's like the it's just you know,

376
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: the one pixel that had great hardware was the four

377
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: XL and it didn't have an ultra wide when everyone

378
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: else was doing ultra wide. And now the new one,

379
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: the five has an ultra wide, but it doesn't have

380
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: a zoom and the processor is really bad.

381
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: So it's like all these little things.

382
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, for the average person that

383
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: just needs a phone to do the things that phones do,

384
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: it's fine. Like a Pixel five is fine. I think

385
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: it should be a little bit bigger. The four A

386
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: is amazing or what is it, the four AXL, No,

387
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: the four A five G. Sorry, so you know, it's

388
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: a great phone. It's just I think people don't give

389
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: them enough credit because Apple just kind of sucks all

390
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: the air out of the room with what they're doing.

391
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: Because it's just so unbelievable, you know, when you look

392
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: at the way the Apple Watch works with, the iPhone,

393
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: works with the iPad, works with everything. And then you

394
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: add on top of that, the apps are so well

395
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: crafted for the iPhone compared to Android. In many circumstances,

396
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: it's really tough to be and when I go out

397
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: and about, it's like, there is the standard and that

398
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: is the iPhone, and it's like, okay, well, you know,

399
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: you know there's other things out there, but it's just

400
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: tough sometimes. Anyway, Cool for you, Google, I hope you

401
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: open one up in Los Angeles. I think that would

402
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: be a good place for you to open one as well.

403
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: All right, Monica says, my husband and I are buying

404
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: a home in Ports Charlotte, Florida. It's in a remote area.

405
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: What options do you recommend since internet service is slim

406
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: and my husband will be working from home. Thank you

407
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: for your help, my husband said, we might have to

408
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: back out of the purchase if you can't find a

409
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: way to work from home.

410
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: Faceplant? Is that face plant? Or hand?

411
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: What's the hand on the face? Is that a face plant?

412
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: Can I hover over this emoji and see what it means?

413
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: Nope? I can't wait. Can I let me copy? Oh explore,

414
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 2: here we go.

415
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: Let me see woman face palm oh face, palming face palming. Okay,

416
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: there you go. You gotta love Google. Find us an

417
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: answer in a second. Uh, Monica, Uh okay. So a

418
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: couple things. Number one, you can check a website. You

419
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: can check like a website called like high Speed Internet

420
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: dot com. High Speed Internet Internet dot com is a website. Now,

421
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: I found that these Internet checkers are a little bit

422
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: hit or miss. A lot of times are just taking

423
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of data and it's not necessarily very find

424
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: like your exact, like specific address. Sometimes it is, sometimes

425
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: it isn't. So once you go to high Speed Internet

426
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: dot com and put in your address, and let's say

427
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: it says like you know, Spectrum and Verizon are are

428
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: available there, well, then you want to go to the

429
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: Spectrum and Verizon websites and pop in your your address

430
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: and then double check and see and you want to

431
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: check for the speeds.

432
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: Now for your husband.

433
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, I know he's working from home, but I'm

434
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: sure anything you know fifty down should be fine.

435
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 2: You know, you don't depending on what he's doing for work.

436
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: But if he's just doing like Microsoft Teams or you know,

437
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: Zoom or any of these things.

438
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: You don't need a huge amount of bandwidth.

439
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Now if he's uploading and downloading giant video files like

440
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: I do, yeah, you probably want something a lot higher

441
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: than that. So that's the recommendation. The other two things

442
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: I would check h T Mobile has a new ISP,

443
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: so T mobile dot Com slash ISP and T Mobile

444
00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: ISP is basically they're using their their wireless infrastructure. You

445
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: offer you home high speed internet. Now this high speed internet,

446
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: the speeds are not guaranteed to be as fast as

447
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: something that's wired. But it depends where you live. I mean,

448
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: some places T Mobile has really good service, and so

449
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: if you're in one of those places, boom you can

450
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: have really good service.

451
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: Let me just go on the let's go to the T.

452
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: Mobile map and I'm looking at Port Charlotte, and from

453
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: what I can see, it doesn't have five G coverage,

454
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: but it does have four G and it looks like

455
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty solid coverage like the entire area.

456
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 2: So I can definitely tell that it's.

457
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: A more rural area than areas around you, which is

458
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: like North Point and some of the other cities nearby.

459
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: But for for the most part, you're in a service area.

460
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: So I would definitely check out T mobile isp. I

461
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: think it's like fifty bucks a month and they send

462
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: you this router. You put it like near a window,

463
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: and you know your speeds are determined by their service there,

464
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: So definitely check that out. The other thing, and this

465
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: is a little bit more wild, but Starlink is what

466
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: SpaceX is doing for high speed internet with satellites, and

467
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit more expensive to get started

468
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: with it, but you know, people are reporting that the

469
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: service is pretty good. And so again you know, depending

470
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: on what your husband needs, you know, this.

471
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 2: Could work for you as well.

472
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: So those are a couple of good options for you,

473
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: and check them out and let me know how the

474
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: new house is.

475
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: All right.

476
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: So Spotify is launching their Clubhouse competitor, and what we've

477
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: realized it's called green what's it called here, It's called

478
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: green Room, and this is an app. It's kind of

479
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: like an acquisition they made, but they are opening it up.

480
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: I was not able to find it in the app store,

481
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: so I couldn't download it and check it out. But

482
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: it looks identical to Clubhouse and not just Clubhouse, but

483
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: Twitter Spaces and then also Facebook is getting their own

484
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: version of this as well, and it's already happening, like

485
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: they're beta test it. Thanks to Jim for sending me

486
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: the link to that. But here's the thing, so, just

487
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: like you know, just like stories, it sounds like these

488
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: rooms and these audio rooms are now a feature of everything,

489
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: Like every app is going to have an audio feature.

490
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: So we've got Twitter with it, We've got Spotify with it,

491
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: we've got Facebook with it. You know, Instagram will probably

492
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: end up having it. I think they actually talked about

493
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: doing like an audio only room for you know, you

494
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: can go Instagram Live. It's the same thing, except people

495
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: are listening instead of watching. And so you know, this

496
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: is this is Spotify's you know, version of this, which

497
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: I think is going to be pretty cool because it's Spotify.

498
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you that I've been testing Spotify for

499
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. I'm waiting for the feature

500
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: for Spotify to come to the Apple Watch. So they

501
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: gave me a couple months of Spotify to kind of

502
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: test it out. Because they couldn't like enable my account.

503
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: I thought was kind of funny they couldn't directly enable

504
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: my Spotify account, but they're like, Okay, here's a couple

505
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: months of Spotify premiums that you can try it out

506
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: when it launches, And so I've installed it.

507
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: I've been using Spotify.

508
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: I'm not a Spotify user, but i gotta say I

509
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: have been quite impressed with Spotify as a non Spotify user.

510
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: They do have a lot of playlists. They do update

511
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: their home screen with like a lot of fresh stuff

512
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: to listen to all the time. There are so many playlists,

513
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: like for every single little slice of how you're feeling

514
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: or wanting to listen to. And I'm just waiting for

515
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: it to be able to download the music to your

516
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: watch because that was the big feature that everyone has

517
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: been waiting for for so long. And honestly, it's the

518
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: feature that has me subscribing to Apple Music because for many,

519
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: many years, that was the only way that you could

520
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: get downloaded music to your Apple Watch was to through

521
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: Apple Music. And so now that Spotify offers it, I'm

522
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna kind of see, like, is it best to keep

523
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: Apple Music or do we switch to Spotify as our

524
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: main music service. I mean, they're both the same price

525
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks a month for the family plan, so it

526
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: also depends on, you know, who has the better offering

527
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: for kids, because my kids are starting to listen to music,

528
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: and I will say, you know, here's where Apple's you know,

529
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: semi evil plan to make everything kind of work together seamlessly.

530
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: Is that, you know, since everything is built into their products,

531
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: it is so much easier, like when your kid has

532
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: an iPad to just literally they're signed into YouTube or

533
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: Apple Music and it's like, oh, here, just here's your

534
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: music because we're on the family plan and your Apple

535
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: idea is linked to mine, and it just does that

536
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: over and over. Oh okay, you need to do this,

537
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: just use this app that's already on your iPad.

538
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: So I get it.

539
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: And Apple does a really nice job with these apps.

540
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: But it's just it's their little plan definitely works. That's

541
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: for sure, keeps you from, you know, using some other

542
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: products that you might use if you had to download

543
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: something you might you might go and research, like what

544
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: the best music service is, or you just use Apple

545
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: Music because it's on there and it's easy and it's integrated.

546
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: So I'm not knocking Apple Music in any way. I

547
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: think it's great, but it's just one of those things

548
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: where the less friction involved, you know, the better it

549
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: is for or the better it is for the company

550
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: that's making it less friction involved.

551
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: Which is Apple.

552
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: In this case, green Room has a couple of interesting features.

553
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: You can have up to one thousand people in a room.

554
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 2: Let's see.

555
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: You can virtually applaud speakers by giving them gems in

556
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: the app, and the gems don't have any money value.

557
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: But there's and there's no way to make money on

558
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: this just yet, but there is some sort of like

559
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Creator's fund that Spotify is launching, and participants will be

560
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: able to receive payouts for their work based on their

561
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: audience size and consumption, apparently according to Hollywood reporters. So

562
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: I think the trend we're seeing with all of these

563
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: apps nowadays, these new like you know, not just the

564
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: social media apps, well I guess them too, But it's like,

565
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: where's you know, show me the money, where's the monetization?

566
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Where how can I make some money if I become

567
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: really popular on your platform? How do I make money? Like?

568
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 2: Can I get a payout from this?

569
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: And it's funny because when when all these platforms first started,

570
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: maybe with the exception of YouTube, that really wasn't a thing.

571
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: And now we've seen Twitter, they're introducing so many features

572
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: that will enable you to get money. And you know,

573
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: Patreon is kind of like the third party service that

574
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: enables all this stuff. But now we're seeing all these

575
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: individual services do it on their own. But it's it's

576
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: all over the place. So now it becomes very complicated.

577
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: So if I want to follow you on Twitter and

578
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: send you a gem on Greenhouse, you know, it's like,

579
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: how do you are green.

580
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: Room rather not greenhouse green Room.

581
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: It's like it's it's this whole idea. This is why

582
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: it all comes back to the same idea I've had

583
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: for years. I would love and someone please make this.

584
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 1: I would love for every month, I just have a

585
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: little wallet on my It follows me around on my browser,

586
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: and it integrates with things like Twitter and Facebook and

587
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: YouTube or whatever. And it's just a little tiny like

588
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: tip jar, but it follows me. It's like built into

589
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: every app. So let's say I put you know, I

590
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: just subscribe. I put in you know, ten dollars a month,

591
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: and of course, you know, the tip jar company gets

592
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: like a dollar of that for me, or ten percent

593
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: or thirty percent whatever they want to take. And then

594
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: I get the rest as little gems or whatever, and

595
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: then I can give those to people as I go along.

596
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: So let's say I read a really good article from someone,

597
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: I can give them.

598
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: A little tip.

599
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: Let's say I watch a cool YouTube video from someone

600
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: that I really think is great, I can give them

601
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: a little tip. Let's say I listen to someone's speech

602
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: on or clubhouse room, I can give them a little tip.

603
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: So again, it's not like, you know, to sit there

604
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: and subscribe to different creators and stuff for five dollars

605
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: a month is really kind of like it backs you

606
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: into a corner because you're like, ah, I'm already subscribed

607
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: to one person. I can't really do another person. I mean,

608
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: that's like a lot of money every month. But if

609
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: you just put ten dollars into this little wallet or

610
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: whatever it is twenty bucks, who knows, you know, and

611
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: the ability to give that to different people, I think

612
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: would be really transformative for the web because people would

613
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 1: be able to go on their own Let's say I

614
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: ran my own website, you know, rich on tech dot TV.

615
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: That was you know, I was independent.

616
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: I would just put this little tip jar on there,

617
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, integrate it in there, and you know, when

618
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 1: people read my articles or my posts or whatever, they

619
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: can give me a little tip. So I think it

620
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: would enable many more people to be creative in the

621
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: ways that they want to be on these platforms without

622
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: choosing to you know, they have to be on.

623
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: One or give it.

624
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: They're all on one platform, like, they can kind of

625
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: be in different places and just all that money comes

626
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: to the same place. So I think that would be transformative.

627
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: I think I talked about that in my podcast a

628
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: long time ago with someone like Stripe that should launch

629
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: that or something. Someone needs to do that, because I

630
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: really think that rewarding people individually on the web, because

631
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: we're getting into this world where like so many people

632
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: are building like a little business on the web. It's like,

633
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: why can't we reward them in an easy way Without

634
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: a subscription to their you know, YouTube, or without you know,

635
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: becoming a super follower on on Twitter, or without you know,

636
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: on Instagram, there's no way to really tip someone or

637
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: give them props or anything, you know. So anyway, I

638
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: think it would really really be good. Marilyn says, Hey, Rich,

639
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: can you advise about portable Wi Fi? My phone receives

640
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: many junk emails about these devices, in particular, I'd like

641
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: to know how they work while traveling on vacation.

642
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: Thanks Marylyn. Marilyn, you're referring.

643
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: To a Wi Fi hot spot, and I don't know

644
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: why you're getting so many junk emails. Maybe you mean

645
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: like you're just getting emails from your carrier about them,

646
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: But I would say when it comes to a hot spot,

647
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: you don't. The average person does not really need one

648
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: these days because your phone functions as a perfectly good

649
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: personal hot spot. So if you have an iPhone or

650
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: an Android just there is a hot spot feature built

651
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: in now. The main thing about that is that you

652
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: are limited to the data allotted for your hot spot,

653
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: and you can call your carrier or look on your

654
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: plan on your carrier's app, and it will tell you

655
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: how much data is allotted to your hotspot. And I

656
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: believe for me it's like fifteen gigabytes a month, which

657
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, between me and my wife we both get

658
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: fifteen gigs. That's a pretty decent amount. And our kids

659
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: have their iPads where they automatically connect to our iPhones

660
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: and you know, when they're out and about, they just

661
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: use our phones as a hotspot. Otherwise, if you want

662
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: a dedicated hotspot. The benefit of that is that it's

663
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: a little simpler to manage because you can plug it in,

664
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: you can leave it turned on if you're in a

665
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: hotel room, you just kind of you know, your hot

666
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: spot is independent of your you know, phone, so it's

667
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: always turned on. You're creating this little Wi Fi hotspot,

668
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: but you will have to pay for a separate plan,

669
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: and you'll probably want a data only plan from your

670
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: carrier to do that, and you can ask your carrier.

671
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: If you're with T Mobile, get a T Mobile hotspot,

672
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: add it to your plan and you can do that.

673
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: The downside of that is that you're going to be

674
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: paying for that every month. No matter what, whether you

675
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: use it or not, you're still going to be paying

676
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: for this hot spot. So if you have a something

677
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: like an RV, or if you travel a real lot

678
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: for work, that might make a lot of sense. But

679
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: if you're just a casual traveler, just use the hot

680
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: spot on your phone, and that's what I recommend. The

681
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: only other option I can tell you about is Zte

682
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: has a portable hot spot that I did a feature

683
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: on and it basically is an unlocked hot spot, and

684
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: let's see is it the z ZT e Z max Connect.

685
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: And what's cool about that is that it's unlocked. So

686
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: you would buy this hot spot. I think you can

687
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: get on Amazon and it's I think it was about

688
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: a hundred bucks when I did a story on it.

689
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: But the cool thing about it is that it's you

690
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: can just pop a SIM card into it and oh okay,

691
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: it looks like they have a newer one now ZT Velocity.

692
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: This is a an unlocked mobile Wi Fi hot spot.

693
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: But weird the picture is at and T. But anyway,

694
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: so just ZT look them up and see their hotspot.

695
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: But you can put a SIM card in there that's

696
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: pre paid, and so the benefit of that is that

697
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: you can kind of run through your data without paying

698
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: a monthly fee. You just kind of buy a bunch

699
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: of data and sometimes they expire thirty to ninety days.

700
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: But you put that SIM card into this device and

701
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: then you can use it, and if you don't need

702
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: it the next three months after that, you just let

703
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: it sit dormant and you buy.

704
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: A new SIM or you reactivate it.

705
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: But I would go use your phone first, and then

706
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: if you need anything else, then you can go the

707
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: route of getting a dedicated Wi Fi hotspot. Ikea is

708
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: teaming up with Sonos for a brand new picture frame speaker.

709
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: This is the SYMPHONIESK picture Frame Wi Fi speaker, and

710
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: so it looks like a piece of art, but it's

711
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: actually a disguised I guess Sonos speaker, which looks really cool.

712
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: Now I'm trying to figure out which room I could

713
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: put this in because I already have Sonos in pretty

714
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: much all my room except for the office. And if

715
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: you follow me on Instagram, you know I just bought

716
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 1: the Sonos Rome, which I like, and it's just small.

717
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I like the.

718
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: Move better because it's bigger and it's got better sound.

719
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: But the Rome is good for, like, you know, taking

720
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 1: it on little trips and vacations because it's so small.

721
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: But this one is a two hundred dollars It looks

722
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: like a picture frame, not really a picture frame.

723
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: It looks like a piece of art.

724
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: So the fact they're calling it a picture frame Wi

725
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: Fi speaker, I think is a little misleading because it's

726
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: not a place where you put a picture. It's just

727
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: a piece of artwork. And so you can put this

728
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: on your wall, you hang it. It does have a

729
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: cable coming out from the bottom of it, so you

730
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: have to be aware of that.

731
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: But it's white.

732
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: It kind of blends in the picture frame itself comes

733
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: in white or black. And then you can also put

734
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: in different pieces of artwork that they have from Ikia

735
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: and they're each twenty dollars, so it's two hundred dollars

736
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: for the speaker, then twenty dollars for the individual pieces

737
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: of artwork.

738
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: Looks like it comes with one piece.

739
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: Of artwork that like the starter artwork, and then if

740
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: you want to replace that you can.

741
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: But it looks cool. It's a good idea.

742
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: I have not heard it, so I don't know how

743
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: how good it sounds. But if you're looking for that

744
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: kind of cool, sleek, you know, room that you want

745
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: things to blend in, it's it's definitely cool. I mean

746
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: I would I would get this. I just don't really

747
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: know of a place. I guess I can get it

748
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: in my I don't know what's gonna happen to this

749
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: office here that I'm in, probably gonna go back to

750
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: becoming a guest room or the kids room once I'm

751
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: out of.

752
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: Here for work.

753
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: Where am I gonna can do my podcast? I gotta

754
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: figure out a new home. Uh. The speaker's gonna be

755
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: available July fifteenth. Of course, it works with Sonos, which

756
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: is the beauty of this speaker, and you know, I

757
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: love Sonos. It's basically the Switzerland of streaming services, even

758
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: though they do have their own Sonos Radio. You basically

759
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: connect all your different streaming services to this Sonos app

760
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: and that allows you to listen to the same music

761
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: across every room in your house where you have a

762
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: Sona speaker, or you you can have every Sona speaker

763
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: playing something different at the same time. Now that you

764
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: may be limited by your streaming service, they may not

765
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: allow you to have, you know, ten different streams going

766
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: at the same time. I've noticed that with like what

767
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: was Amazon Music the other day? It was like, sorry,

768
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: this is already playing in another room. I was like,

769
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: oh wow, you guys are good, and so I had

770
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: to pause the music on one speaker and then finally

771
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: it started on another. But I think that you know,

772
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: if you have different services, or you know you can

773
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: use some of the free services. You know, there's a

774
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: million free services out there, you can connect those to

775
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: Sonos as well and just listen to things. So kind

776
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: of cool.

777
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: Different.

778
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: You know, Ikia had those other two speakers. They look

779
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: like I think one was a lamp and one was

780
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: a bookshelf speaker. And I did want the lamp. I

781
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: actually wanted that from my bedroom. I never got it.

782
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: But now that I think about it, maybe I should

783
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: reconsider because I didn't realize they were still making those

784
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: like I thought. It kind of like it never really

785
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: came to be. But July fifteenth. I'm looking at the

786
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: different colors here, so yeah, black and white are the

787
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: two different colors.

788
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 2: Kind of cool? Oh wow, it looks like, oh here

789
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: it is. The other lamp is still around.

790
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: Actually, the base of the lamp that they make with

791
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: the Sono speaker looks like a HomePod, the big HomePod,

792
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: the old one. But yeah, picture frame with Wi Fi

793
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: speaker not available just yet. You gotta wait until July fifteenth.

794
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: Michael says, Rich, can you download different apps like roadblocks

795
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: on the Amazon Fire HD ten Kids Pro. Now, Michael

796
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: was referring to a review I did on KTLA for

797
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: the fire the brand new Amazon sent them along the

798
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: Fire HD ten Kids Pro. They actually sent both of

799
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: the fire HD tens, the new ones the kids and

800
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: the regular one. Now, I'm just gonna be completely honest here.

801
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. I'm just not And I'll tell you. Look,

802
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: I know there's you know, some of you listening that

803
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: are saying, rich, I have one of these things. It's

804
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: just fine, and yes it is just fine. But honestly,

805
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 1: you know, Amazon could do better with these things. They're

806
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: the software is actually really good. I think that Amazon

807
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: does a nice job with the software on these things.

808
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: The hardware, it just leaves so much to be desired,

809
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: from the low memory, to the low.

810
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: Processors, to the screen quality to you know, audio quality

811
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: seems to be fine. But it's just.

812
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: I just it's one of these things where, yes, they're cheap,

813
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: and I think that's why people buy them, and they're

814
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: a very good deal when it comes to the price.

815
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: So you know, especially for Prime.

816
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: Day as it's coming up, it's you're gonna be able

817
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: to get one of these tablets for such a low

818
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: price that it's like a no brainer, Like why would

819
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: I pay three hundred and thirty dollars for an iPad

820
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: when I can get this tablet for like one hundred bucks?

821
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: And I get that, and I totally understand, and I'm

822
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: not gonna say don't get it, but just know what

823
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: you're getting yourself into. If you're just literally watching things

824
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: and listening to music and reading books, it will be

825
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: just fine. But it's the experience of you that is

826
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: just slow. It's sluggish, it's it's frustrating at times. It's

827
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: just not the best experience, especially when you get to

828
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: the buttery smooth workings of an iPad. And I know

829
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: Rich you love Apple. Oh my gosh, all you do

830
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 1: is ever talk about Apple. I know, But the reality

831
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: is the iPad is such a great device that it's

832
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: really tough to beat. And so yeah, you're gonna save

833
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money getting the fire, but it's gonna

834
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: be frustrating, and there's gonna be moments when you know

835
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: you just don't want to use it or it's just

836
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: not that good.

837
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: And it's fine. You know.

838
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: I actually had a friend over and I know her

839
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: kids have the kindle the fire or not the kindle

840
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: the fire tablet. And I said, you know, if I

841
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: sat on TV that the fire tablet is frustrating and

842
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 1: slow and laggy, would you be annoyed?

843
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 2: Would you be upset?

844
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: And she said, well, I don't know what do you

845
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: mean by that? And I said, well, she goes they're

846
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: just fine for like the kids playing games. Since I said,

847
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: all right, that's that's fair enough. So again it is

848
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: just fine, like to the average can assumer that's not

849
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: testing a bunch of stuff. It is just fine. But

850
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you can do better. And I think

851
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: the iPad entry level iPad on sale, you know, you

852
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 1: get it for two ninety nine or whatever. It's Yes,

853
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: it's more expensive, but the experience out of that device

854
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: is just going to be so infinitely better. But with

855
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: that said Michael, to answer your question, roadblocks. So I

856
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: specifically wrote about Roadblocks in my fire Kid's review because

857
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: I knew the line was something to the extent of, yes,

858
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: it does this and it does that, but let's be honest,

859
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: the first app your kid is going to download is Roadblocks,

860
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: and it plays that too well. When I went to

861
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: shoot my segment for this thing, we downloaded Roblocks because

862
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure and test it out. I

863
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: got so many problems with this situation with the with

864
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: the device. It went into a boot loop where it

865
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: just kept restarting. It kept restarting every time we tried

866
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: to open roadblocks on this thing. Now, this could have

867
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: been an isolated incident.

868
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 2: I emailed Amazon.

869
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: I said to them, I said, hey, you know, I'm

870
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: having a lot of issues with this. Have you seen

871
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: this before? And they said, no, we've never seen that.

872
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: No one else is reporting that, and that was it.

873
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: They didn't really care to follow up, and so I

874
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: just kind of I took that line out of my

875
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: piece for KTLA. I didn't I didn't leave in the

876
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: line where it can play roadblocks. And I felt bad

877
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: because I know that's what parents wanted to know, but

878
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't feel right, you know, including the robox roadblocks bit,

879
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: knowing that we had so many problems running roadblocks, and

880
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: I know that's the game that kids want to play.

881
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest what my kids said when I

882
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: gave them this tablet to test out with roadblocks, they

883
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: they literally threw it back at me and said nobody

884
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: should buy this, and that was their words.

885
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, that's a kid.

886
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: And so they were able to see the quality difference

887
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: between an iPad and a fire tablet. And again, I'm

888
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: just telling you this so that you're equipped and you

889
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: understand what your situation. The beauty of these tablets is

890
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: that you can return them. If you get it and

891
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: you hate it and you can't deal with the with

892
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: the situation or how it runs, just return it to Amazon.

893
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: They'll be more than happy to take it back. If

894
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 1: you get it and you get through all the steps

895
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: and you set it up and it works just fine,

896
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: and you've got this uh the kids sits, the kids

897
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: uh what do they call the parents dashboard on it,

898
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: and it works great for you, then fine, just use

899
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: it and it's it's I'm just telling you my thoughts.

900
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to the rich on Tech podcast. This is

901
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: rich on Tech's thoughts. These are my thoughts, and so

902
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you my experiences so that you know

903
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: and you can compare them against other people's experiences. Read

904
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: a couple of reviews online about the fire Kids tablet,

905
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: the ten and see what they say about it.

906
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 2: If they say it's.

907
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: Amazing, then you know way those two way, those two

908
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: opinions together kind of average amount, and say, Okay, I'll

909
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: try this, I'll give it, I'll give it a spin,

910
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: and if it's terrible, I'll return it. And with that said,

911
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: I will say what I think is really good about

912
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: these tablets is the software on them, I think is

913
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. They've got everything built in that you need.

914
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of things that are not there,

915
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: like the Google apps are not there. You can install

916
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: them easily, and yes you can sideload, and yes you

917
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: can download you know, ways of getting them, but that's

918
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: not for the average consumer. The average consumer is not

919
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: sideloading Chrome. The average consumer is not sideloading Gmail. The

920
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: average consumers not sideloading YouTube.

921
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: So to get those.

922
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: Native apps that work really well, you can't get them easily.

923
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: You can't just download them from the Amazon App Store.

924
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: And so for all these reasons, it's just kind of

925
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: not the best experience. You have to use their apps

926
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: and what they you know, their weblinks to YouTube and

927
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: to Gmail, so you got to use the web versions

928
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: of those things. I do like what Amazon's doing when

929
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: it comes to the parental controls. The kid's dashboard is amazing,

930
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: And if your interest is in keeping your kids safe

931
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: on these tablets, I think these tablets do a really

932
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: really good job of that. In fact, really really good.

933
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm maybe not better than the iPad about the same

934
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: but it's Amazon really has it down. I mean they've

935
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: gotten it locked down. So I think that in that case,

936
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: I was very very impressed with what they're doing there.

937
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: So again I'm just you know, giving you some thoughts

938
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: and things to kind of noodle around in your brain.

939
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: If you're thinking of getting one of these things, just

940
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: know that there is a reason why they cost less

941
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: and doesn't make them a bad thing.

942
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 2: It just makes it so that if you.

943
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: Can, if you're like, if you use it and you're

944
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: fine with it, it's fine, Like you just saved a

945
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: bunch of money. And it's like, Rich, all I'm doing

946
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: is reading a kindle book on here, Well, fine, it's

947
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: gonna work great for that. Rich, All I'm watching our

948
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: Netflix shows or Prime videos or whatever. Fine, it's gonna

949
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: work just fine for that. You don't need a lot

950
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: of horsepower to watch videos on a tablet. Now, if

951
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: you're telling me you're gonna try to run your home

952
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: based business on there, or blog or edit videos or

953
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: capture any kind of pictures on this thing, no, that's

954
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: not gonna work. If you're using it, you know, to

955
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: run a home you know, a little eBay business or

956
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: something like for a tablet. No, not gonna work, drawing,

957
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: making pictures, creating stuff, not gonna work. Consuming content gonna

958
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: be just fine. Michael, Hope that answers your question. Let

959
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: me know what you end up doing. All right, let's see,

960
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about this shower head. So I tested a

961
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: shower head called the Nebia. It's got a long name,

962
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: the Nebia by Mowen Quatro, and it's a shower head

963
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: that it got a lot of publicity because Tim Cook,

964
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: Apple CEO, love this shower head. And so this company's

965
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: been around, I think they said for six years. The

966
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: technology was really expensive, but now it's gotten down to

967
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: a price that you know, the rest of us can

968
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: actually consider still expensive. It's still ninety nine dollars on Kickstarter,

969
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine dollars when it gets to stores.

970
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: But I tried it out, and the thing is, this

971
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: is supposed to be easy. They use like this system

972
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: called this process called atomization to make the water into

973
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: this really fine mist. So it feels the best I

974
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: can describe it is it feels like a sauna, but

975
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: instead of like a mist of water like that, you know,

976
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: you can't really see in the sauna or like a

977
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: little little bit. This is like it feels like a

978
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: sauna times a thousand. So your entire shower is like

979
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: filled with this mist like water that just collects on

980
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: your skin, and you know, these.

981
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 2: Droplets are everywhere.

982
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: And so for that reason, a they don't recommend a

983
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: shower what's it called a shower curtain set up. They

984
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: would recommend kind of like an enclosed shower, like glass doors,

985
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: at least, you know, mostly enclosed. Like my shower is

986
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: mostly enclosed. It's not fully enclosed. I think that's how

987
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: most showers are. Maybe there's some that are fully enclosed,

988
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: but I guess there are. So the deal with this

989
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:35,959
Speaker 1: thing is that they sent it to me to test

990
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: it out. I installed it on my shower, and of course,

991
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: my shower, like a lot of homes in Los Angeles,

992
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: is just totally messed up. It doesn't it's not the

993
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: standard shower situation. So I had my handyman take a

994
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: look and he's like, yeah, the pipe that comes out

995
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: of your wall is really short, so you would need

996
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: to install like a new pipe.

997
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: And it's this whole big thing.

998
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: So I end up getting it to work on my

999
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: kid's shower, which still it was not perfect, and they

1000
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: have a shower curtain, so it was like this whole

1001
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: big thing where I got the whole bathroom wet. But

1002
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: I was able to test this thing out and actually

1003
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: shower in it and my kids as well, and I

1004
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: will say it was amazing. It was a great experience,

1005
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: and it was it was pretty darn different than what

1006
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: a typical shower head feels like. And the other thing

1007
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: is that this is saving a ton of water, so

1008
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: it feels better, but it's also saving like forty percent water.

1009
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: And I've got a water bill that just keeps getting

1010
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: out of control, and so this would be very appealing

1011
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: to me. Now, I didn't end up keeping this on

1012
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: my shower because it's not really compatible with what I said,

1013
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: my shower setup, but I would consider this if it was,

1014
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: and I think that you should too.

1015
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: It's a really cool shower head.

1016
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: It's it's on Kickstarter, so definitely not Generally, I'm very

1017
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: skeptical of Kickstarter stuff because it just feels like so

1018
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: many people get burned with it. But this company says

1019
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: they've they've already done seven million dollars of Kickstarter on

1020
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: the platform. They've done other things on Kickstarter. They are

1021
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna ship this, they said, now here's the thing. This

1022
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: is why I always say with Kickstarter, I'm very cautious

1023
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: because when they first told me about this thing, oh yeah,

1024
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna ship it in August, and the day that

1025
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: I was doing my story, the morning of the story,

1026
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, by the way, we're changing that to September.

1027
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: I said, what.

1028
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: So I had to go back and retape all the

1029
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: stuff that I use to send out to my partner stations,

1030
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: because you know it is taped the day before, and

1031
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: I was like, you've got to be kidding me.

1032
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: And so again this just.

1033
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: Goes to show that with like Kickstarter, it's like it's

1034
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: never a firm deal. It's like, how did it go

1035
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: from August to September? In like literally the day of launch,

1036
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: it changes And so you just have to be very

1037
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: aware of the pros and cons of Kickstarter. I love

1038
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: the fact that Kickstarter can make these amazing ideas come

1039
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: to reality, but on the flip side, a lot of

1040
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: stuff gets on there that never really gets made or

1041
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: worse yet, you know, your money is either taken or

1042
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: held up and you don't get things, and it's just

1043
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: delayed upon delay, upon delay upon delay, So just be

1044
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: aware of that. But if you want to watch the story,

1045
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: it's called the Uh. Here's the way to find anything

1046
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: I talk about. By the way, just google ktla DeMuro

1047
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: plus a keyword, like in this case, it would be Nebia.

1048
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: And if you can't remember Nebia, just ktl a DeMuro

1049
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: shower head. So let me just try it ktla DeMuro

1050
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: shower head and that immediately brings up my story. So

1051
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: that's how you find something that I've mentioned on TV.

1052
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: It's very very simple, and it always comes to the

1053
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: top result.

1054
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 2: I mean, what can I say?

1055
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: It's cool, it's great. I mean, it's going to change

1056
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: the world. I don't know, but it's definitely. My headline

1057
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: was I took a shower using a shower head that

1058
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 1: feels so indulgent it's hard to believe it's actually saving water.

1059
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: And I will agree with that. I think that it

1060
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: was a very cool experience. My kid also said the

1061
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: same thing. He said, that is like the most amazing

1062
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 1: shower ever. So I mean, even if if a kid

1063
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: could say that and understand that that's that's pretty cool.

1064
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 2: All right.

1065
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: Uh, let's see next question. Maren says hey, Rich, Hi

1066
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 1: a Rich, what's a good iPhone memory cleaner?

1067
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 2: Thanks? Send for my iPhone, Maren.

1068
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: You don't need one. There is no iPhone memory cleaner,

1069
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: and if you get one, it's bogus. There is no

1070
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: such thing. iPhone apps can cannot do things to the

1071
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: operating the core operating system like they can on androids,

1072
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: so they can't clean out the memory. So you do

1073
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: not need an iPhone memory cleaner. And if there are

1074
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: any on the app store, I don't know what they're

1075
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: doing because it's just not something that's possible. Let me

1076
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: look memory cleaner, smart cleaner, junk cleaner, phone cleaner, system

1077
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: phone doctor.

1078
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 2: Battery life.

1079
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a ton of them. They're all bogus. Just

1080
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: ignore them. You don't need them. The only thing you

1081
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 1: can do on an iPhone to kind of get things

1082
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: back up and running or clear out the memory, whatever

1083
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: you want to call it, is just restart your phone.

1084
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: And so you can do that by holding down the

1085
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 1: power up button and the serie button and that will

1086
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: give you a slider to power off. Or you can

1087
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 1: go into settings and it's settings general, uh reset and

1088
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: sorry not reset general, and then shut down and you

1089
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: can shut down your phone and then power it back up.

1090
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: But those are the only two things you need to know.

1091
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: There's no way to like really do what you do

1092
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: on an Android, like the the Samsungs have like that

1093
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: built in like memory optimization thing, and that's I think,

1094
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: what a lot of people have gotten used to over

1095
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: the years. But you don't need that for an iPhone,

1096
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: and thankfully you don't, because I have literally almost never

1097
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: seen an iPhone get bogged down with like any sort

1098
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: of memory issue because all apps run in their own

1099
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: little sandbox basically, and so when you open up an app,

1100
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: it runs, it's using the system resources. When you shut

1101
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: it down, it's when you know, close out of that app.

1102
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: Even if you don't close it out like people love

1103
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: to like swipe out their apps, you don't need to

1104
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: do that on an iPhone. And I've been guilty of it.

1105
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: I'll do it every once in a while, but it's

1106
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: mostly just a nervous thing. It's just like a you know,

1107
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: fiddling with my phone thing.

1108
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 2: It's not really necessary.

1109
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: Now, if an app is acting up, yes, you can

1110
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: close it out, and that you know, once you close

1111
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,879
Speaker 1: it out, you can restart the app and it should

1112
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: be just.

1113
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: Fine, all right.

1114
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: Final question, Martha via Instagram says, Hey, Rich, I've been

1115
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: following you since the KTLA. Since you join KTLA, you've

1116
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: never disappointed.

1117
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1118
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: What's your recommendation of the iPad? I'm a phone fanatic

1119
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: and I want the best form of reference for my photos.

1120
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: Laptop versus iPad? Is it the most current model if

1121
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: I buy it through HSN? Well to answer your iPhone

1122
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: versus or sorry iPad versus laptop question. If you are

1123
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: only just doing photos, I would definitely go iPad because

1124
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a great, great canvas for photos, and

1125
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: you can load all your photos on there using iCloud.

1126
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 2: Even if the storage isn't enough.

1127
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: You can load them all up there, and you know

1128
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: they'll be stored in iCloud but in the cloud, but

1129
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: they'll also be viewable on your iPad. You'll be able

1130
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: to edit them if you want to get really fancy.

1131
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: You can use the Apple pencil, but you can you

1132
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: know your finger will work just fine. But I think

1133
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: it's a great, great canvas for editing and referencing your

1134
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: pictures and organizing them and all that stuff. Laptop, I

1135
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: would say only if you're like really doing maybe some

1136
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: heavy photo organization.

1137
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1138
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: I mean, laptop seems like overkill to me. So if

1139
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: you're just if your only interest is in photos, i'd

1140
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 1: say go iPad. As for the most current model through HSN,

1141
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: I would cross reference HSN with something like the Mac

1142
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: Rumors Buyer's Guide, and it should tell you on the

1143
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: Buyer's Guide, like what the latest version of the devices.

1144
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: So if you look at the let's look at the

1145
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: eleven inch iPad pro, it's let's see, does it tell

1146
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: you like what the You gotta find the model number

1147
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: of the device they're selling on HSN and then compare

1148
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: at against you know, just look up that model number

1149
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: and see if it's the most recent.

1150
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 2: I think it should.

1151
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: I think the Buyer's Guide would show you that, but

1152
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: I don't really I'm at first glance, I'm not really

1153
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: seeing it. But if you look at recent releases, you

1154
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: really need the model number. Oh you know what, you

1155
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 1: can just go to I think you can just go

1156
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: to the Apple website and just look at the model

1157
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: number and compare those and make sure if it's the

1158
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: most recent one, and that that should really do it.

1159
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: But I'd say, yeah, go iPad that's like my dream.

1160
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: My dream is to just use an iPad for everything

1161
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: because I'm so dependent on my laptop because I'm video

1162
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: editing so much. I would love to make that switch

1163
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: to like an iPad pro or something with a keyboard,

1164
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: because then you.

1165
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: Have the best of both worlds.

1166
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: Touch screen, got all the iPad apps, but then you

1167
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 1: can use your your lap or your computer.

1168
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 2: Not your computer. You just have the best of both worlds.

1169
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: Right, you get kind of a computer and a and

1170
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: a tablet all in one. Oh that sound means it's

1171

1187
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,840

1188
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: TV app. You have to have a physical Apple TV
