<v Speaker 1>where I talk about the tech stuff I think you

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>should know about.

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>It's also the place.

<v Speaker 1>the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles.

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the folks listening on Facebook audio rooms.

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 2>That feature was big.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>It's funny with these social media platforms they love to

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>their attention span is very short. So with Facebook, for instance,

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>they were all about these live audio rooms for like

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a month or two, and you know, whenever I would

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>do one of these, it would promote it across the

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>board to all my followers, and you know, hundreds of

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>people would log in to listen because Facebook was pushing

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>it to as many people as possible because they were

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to start that feature. Well, now that they don't

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>care about it as much and they've moved on to

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>other things, it's not as popular. You don't see it

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>promoted as much. It's just kind of one of those

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>features that's there. And I'm seeing the same kind of

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>thing happen right now on Instagram. And I don't know

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>if you've noticed, but they've really really ramped up reels.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>They've ramped up two things in your feed. Number one reels.

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Number two suggested posts. So if you're scrolling through Instagram

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and this happens to me, I'm looking at these posts

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, wait a second, I don't follow that person.

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>It says, oh, suggested because you follow this person or

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>that person, and I don't mind it. But a lot

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of my feed has become suggested posts. So they're definitely

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely becoming an Instagram that was very different than

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the Instagram many of us signed up for. Also, there's

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of moving stuff. There's just a lot going

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>on now.

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>The reels.

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why so many people are doing reels

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>right now is because Facebook is paying bonuses for doing reels.

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>So I tell you this because I was invited to

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the program and basically they said, oh, we'll pay a

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of money if you do some reels, and

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>so that is I have not done one, but that's

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>The reason why you're seeing so many people doing reels

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>right now because they're trying to reach these bonus amounts

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and if they get these bonuses, it could be a

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>decent amount of money, so I don't know, maybe a

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>couple hundred bucks or something.

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>So that's why you're.

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Seeing so many reels in your Instagram feed at this point.

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>But we are here to talk tech. We're here to

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>talk about the questions that you send me. And as

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I am an open book. I've been talking

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>about the Tesla on social media that's been going well.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been talking about the Pixel six Pro, which I

0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>haven't switched to, but I've been using it alongside my

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>iPhone for like two weeks now, and I'll tell you

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I do love the phone. I mean, they're the Pixel

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>six I think is just such an incredible device, except

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>for a few things. Number One, the size is just

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't Maybe this sounds like a broken record from

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>last week's podcast, but it's just such a big phone

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>that you can never get comfortable using it, Like.

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just so big.

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe if you're used to the size of the iPhone

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>thirteen Promax, you'd be fine with this, But I don't

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>think if you have that phone that you'd be switching

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to this phone. The other thing is the fingerprint sensor

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>is just like absolutely one hundred percent like terrible, Like

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I've never like it's it's taking a step back maybe

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>five phone generations. I haven't seen a fingerprint sensor this

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>bad in many many phones.

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I do believe in Google, and I think that Google

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>is very much not hardware oriented but software oriented.

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>So they came out and said, yeah.

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, the reason why our fingerprint sensor is a little

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>slower than the rest is because it's very It's very secure,

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think ninety nine point nine percent of people

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>would be like, well, let me give up like fifty

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>percent of that security for a fingerprint sensor.

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>That actually works in a reasonable.

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Amount of time. I've gotten to the point where I

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>have a fear of unlocking this device. FO fear of

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>unlocking it FO you, I because I sit there and

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this is gonna take so long to unlock.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Let me just go to the iPhone and I'll use

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that because it's instantly unlocked as soon as you look

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>at it. Now, there are some rumors that face unlock

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>will be coming to the iPhone, but I'm not sure

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll see I mean, I hope so. And by the way,

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I did find a good case. I think a good

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.239
<v Speaker 1>case really makes this phone. And the Spegan I actually

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>picked two that I really like. So Spegan sent over

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>all the cases to test out and I tried them

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>all on the phones, and I found two that I

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>really like. Remember I like a thin case, and so

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>these are thin, but there are also some protection, and

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>they're also grippy. And the two I like are the

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Pixel six Pro Ultra Hybrid from Spegin and then the

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Pixel six Pro Liquid Air.

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Those are my two picks. But there are you know, maybe.

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>A half a dozen cases that if you want more protection,

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to upgrade to one of those. And you know,

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe you like that you don't mind the bulk. You know,

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>some people don't mind the bulk because they don't keep

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>their phone in.

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Their pocket like I do.

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I keep my phone in my pocket, so I want

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a thin case and a smaller phone. But this, this

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Pixel has won me over for many, many reasons, and

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>one of them is.

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 2>That I forgot how useful.

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I forgot how much I call it hunting and pecking

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to do on the iPhone to complete stuff.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>So on the iPhone, everything is notifications and apps right,

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing is integrated into the fabric of the phone unless

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>it's something that Apple wants, Whereas on Android, apps and

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>notifications are much more woven into the fabric of the phone,

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>so when you buy it or when you download an app,

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>it sort of becomes part of the operating system in

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>different ways. One example is that I've just keep seeing

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>over and over is that when you get a notification

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>on the pixel, there are action steps you can take

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 1>right from that notification. So, for instance, if someone you

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>know texts you something I don't know, there's just so

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>many little things that you can do directly from the notification.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And one of the simplest examples is like for Tesla,

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the Tesla app, for example, there's a notification on your

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>screen that always lets you unlock your car, open the

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>front trunk, open the rear trunk, and so it's like

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>little things like that where it's really cool. Or if

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>you get a notification from Google Maps about a place

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that it wants you to review, which I know are

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of annoying, but it'll say something like not useful

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>or didn't go there, which you can just in one click,

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>say I didn't go there, Versus on the iPhone, you'd

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>have to tap into the notification and then tap into

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the experience to figure out where to.

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Go to do all that stuff.

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's just little things. I'm not saying one's better

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>than the other. It's just more of the differences that

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm pointing out. I still love the iPhone, believe me.

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a pretty amazing device, and I will say I

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>think in some cases it's just a better creator device

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>than the Pixel. I find that I'm more creative when

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm holding my iPhone than i am with a Pixel.

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like the Pixel is more a smartphone

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>like it just it kind of anticipates your needs a

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit better.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's get to the first story of the week. Twitter.

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't really talk about Twitter too much because I

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like a lot of people use it that

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>are general, everyday people, And that's kind of who I

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>imagine listens to this show. But you know, there are

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>some people that use Twitter that are just regular people.

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's mostly either people kind of in

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>industry or you know, it's not like my mom.

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Or my dad or something like that. You know, like

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the average tech person.

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>So I don't talk about it too much, but you know,

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>they did something interesting this week. They opened up what's

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>called Twitter Blue, and so for three dollars a month,

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you get features that the regular free Twitter users don't get.

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Number one, you get some ad free sites. So when

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you go to like Washington Post, you open an article

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>from Twitter, La Times, USA Today, The Atlantic Reuter's, a

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>couple others A you don't see any ads on those articles.

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, is that worth three bucks a month?

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Probably not.

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>The funny thing is that you don't get a subscription

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to any of these, So it'd be nice if they

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>bypass the paywall when you clicked on these things. That's

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>not happening, so you still if it's a paywalled article,

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to get to see it for free.

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's see top articles. This is my favorite feature so far.

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>So this summarizes all of the top articles people are

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>sharing in your network over the past twenty four hours.

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 2>So that's really really useful.

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But that also used to be free through a website

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>called Nuzzle, And I'm guessing that did Twitter buy Nuzzle?

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought I said that on the radio. I'm guessing.

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, yep, Twitter bought Nuzzle.

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Yep. Okay, so yeah, so that's that's the thing.

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Like that website was free and I used it every

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>day and I loved it, and then Twitter bought it

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and they shut it down, and now they're making me

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>pay for it. You also can customize your experience with

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 1>exclusive app icons, So if you want to change your

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, your navigation icons or the way your Twitter

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>icon looks on your home screen, you can do that.

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, probably not worth three bucks. The undue tweet

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>is the kind of the big main feature a lot

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>of people have been talking about, which is fine. It's

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>not an edit button per se, but it's just a delay.

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>So if you have this setup in Gmail like I do,

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>where it delays my email by twenty seconds, so if

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.959
<v Speaker 1>I think of something or made a mistake, I can

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 1>undo it. Same thing now with Twitter. So the other

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>thing that's kind of cool, and this is like a

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>very I don't know, one percent kind of person feature,

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>but it turns long Twitter threads into like an easy

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to read experience, which is also really nice. You can

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>upload longer videos and that's about it. So I subscribe

0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>just to check it out it's fine.

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 2>I you don't know.

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>If I will pay three dollars a month. They would

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>have to do a couple things for me to keep

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>paying three dollars. Number one, they would have to take

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>away the ads.

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I cannot deal with the ads on Twitter. They're so annoying.

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>They're after like every other tweet, and so three bucks

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>a month, one hundred percent. I would be totally down

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>with paying that just to get rid of the ads.

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>And if they threw in the rest of these features,

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that would be pretty cool too. All right, let's get

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to the first question of the day. Ron says, how

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>can I delete pictures on Facebook Messenger? Ron, what I

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>would do typically is press and hold. So whenever you

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>can't find something to do on your phone, it's not

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 1>very obvious, there's two things you want to look for.

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Number One, just press and hold on whatever you're trying

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>to manipulate. So if you're trying to like delete a picture,

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>press and hold it and see if a little menu

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>comes up that lets you delete the picture. Indeed, I

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>think that's the case here with Facebook Messenger. You can

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>do that on your iPhone or Android and it should

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>bring up a delete button that you can.

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Get rid of that picture.

0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>The other thing to look out for is a menu icon.

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>So like a menu icon these days, they look like

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>two things. Number one, three little dots in a row,

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>up and down. So just three little dots up and down.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Click that or tap that rather, and that should bring

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>up the what we call an overflow menu that you

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 1>know has the other options for whatever you're trying to do.

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And then the other thing is the hamburger menu, and

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that often will bring up either a slide a slider

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>menu or I'm saying hamburger and slider in one one sentence.

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty funny, no pun intended, but that's generally what

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you do. But in in general with the phones, especially

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the way the iPhone was designed, you know, they made

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>everything very simple. So press and hold and typically that

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>should bring up what you need to do. Oh also

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter, let's get back to Twitter for just a moment.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:54.479
<v Speaker 1>There's a new feature on someone's profile if you're on iOS.

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>So if you're on iOS and you're using Twitter, it's uh,

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a new little search button on one's profile, and

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 1>so just go to their profile, you know, just tap

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>on their name and go to their profile, which shows

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>like their bio and how many tweets they've done, and

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>how many people are following. In the upper right hand corner,

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you'll now see a little search icon like a magnifying glass,

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and you tap that and then you can type in

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>a keyword. So if you want to see all the

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>times in my Twitter world that I've ever mentioned the

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.199
<v Speaker 1>word pixel, you can just search for the word pixel.

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>If you want to see all the times I've ever

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>mentioned I don't know, chuck E cheese. That'd be a

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>tough one to type in, but I probably spelled it wrong,

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.319
<v Speaker 1>but you know, you can type in Chuck E cheese.

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is really handy. It's it's always a It's

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a feature that's always been around on Twitter. It's just

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>been way more complicated to use because you'd have to

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 1>go and do an advanced search to get this figured out.

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.079
<v Speaker 1>So I think that by putting this front and center

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>on someone's profile, it does make things a lot easier

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>because if you saw me say something on TV and

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh, I want to get more information about that,

0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you can just go to my profile, type in a

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>keyword from whatever story I did, and there you can

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>find the tweet that is associated with that story, and

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 1>not just a tweet, but a lot of times in

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>my course of testing stuff out, I will often tweet

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>as I go. So I'll be tweeting like little features

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 1>and little things that I discover, and then I'll put

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>some of those or all of those into my main

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>review on TV, and so you can see kind of

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>my thoughts along the way with the different things that

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I talk about and review and go to. So simple,

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>simple check for the new search icon on the Twitter

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>profile page of your favorite tweeter.

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, Stace.

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's Stace or stay C because

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>it's STACEE, so that could be Stace, could be Stace.

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I have a problem getting rid of tech stuff. I

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>have a ton of old memory two hundred chips whoo,

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>as well as cables, motherboards.

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Where do I go?

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>This is a major recycling problem. I'm trying to be sustainable.

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I know it's toxic. People need to know that there's

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>a threat to the environment inside much. People need to know.

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>Every city is different, but anyone who cares should have

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 1>the option.

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 2>You got one.

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Come on, dude, I watch you every day. This is

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>major important. Did I miss one of your reports I

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 1>watch you every day. Thanks Stace or Stacy. Well, Stacy

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>or Stace, you did miss one of my reports, because

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I've talked about this several several times in recent memory.

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I've done two major stories on gadget recycling. The first

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>was with a We visited a gadget recycling I don't know.

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like a waste place, just locally in the La

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Valley and or San Fernando Valley, I guess I should say.

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's a place where you could The coolest part

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>about it was that they had this big giant machine

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that could chop up your hard drive. So if you

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 1>have a hard drive, it would just grind it to

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>like a million little pieces, and then they would of

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>course take out the important precious metals and then send

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the rest on their way for recycling. But that was

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 1>number one, so you can easily go there and bring

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>all your stuff. I think it was called US.

0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Waste Fernando Valley or was it Glendale. Oh gosh, I

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 3>can't remember where it was. It might I can't remember.

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll have to look this up, but I'll put it

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 3>in the show notes.

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 1>But it was a nice little place where they you know,

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>they just had a whole bunch of stuff that people

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>bring there to recycle, so you can bring that or

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>there's another website that we did a story with called

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Gizmo Gizmo Go, and they will pay you for stuff

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that they can pay you for, but this stuff doesn't

0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>sound like anything they would pay for because that's mostly

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>like phones and old laptops and stuff. This sounds like more.

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>You just need it recycled. And with that in mind,

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you could just send it to them in a big box.

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Or better yet, since you're local and they are they're

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>in Chino Hills, you could just take the box of

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>your stuff.

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 2>To them and they will recycle.

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Now I would contact them first through their website before

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you just bring something over there. But they have a

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>huge business of recycling this stuff, and yes, they keep

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 1>it out of landfills, they keep it from ruining the environment,

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's a pretty big operation. And there are many

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>any companies that will do this, and there's also many

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>what do they call green recycling drives on the weekends.

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>A lot of times are fundraisers for schools where you

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.240
<v Speaker 1>bring all this stuff and they'll take it for free.

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 1>But the company that's taking it is actually making money

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>off of this stuff, because what they do is they

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>reclaim the precious metals from this stuff. So they will

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>pay you for some of these things. Maybe the motherboards

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>might have some value, the memory chips, I'm not sure,

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the cable's probably not, but they might pay you, you know,

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>pay the organizations that's arranging this fundraiser drive just a

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit of money.

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 2>But that's the way I would do it.

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Or they'll take it off your hands and then share

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of the profit with the fundraising place,

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>but with the nonprofit I should say.

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 2>So that's what you do.

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>But look up those two things, Stace, Look up recycling

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 1>old gadgets KTLA.

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Did I ever tell you how to search?

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 3>You?

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Just look?

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 1>So I've got I've got two. There we go, two stories. Okay,

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>here's the first story. Got a new gadget over the holidays.

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Here's how to dispose? Okay, yeah, this was the place

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I went to. We went to a place called e

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Waste US Electronics Recycling in North Hollywood. And so they'll

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 1>take it. And here's the thing. I mean, you know,

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I ever since I did this story on recycling old gadgets,

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I have never thrown out a battery ever again, because

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I realized in that story how bad they are for

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the environment when you just toss them in the trash.

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>And so I now keep a mason jar and every

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>battery that I use in my house that's you know,

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 1>triple A or whatever kind of thing, I will throw

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>in to there and then I will go and recycle those.

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 2>So good question and get that stuff recycled.

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:51.120
<v Speaker 1>YouTube is going to stop showing dislikes.

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 2>This is something that not a lot of people like.

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>But boom, boom, I need a bad joke sound for

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>my soundboard here. So YouTube says they did an experiment

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and they got rid of the dislike button, or they

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.919
<v Speaker 1>changed it so that you could still have the dislike button,

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 1>but the total number of dislikes under a video was

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.639
<v Speaker 1>not displayed, and lo and behold, they found that it

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:19.159
<v Speaker 1>actually discourages what they call group dislikes or this group

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 1>dislike mentality. So they've noticed when a lot of people

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.120
<v Speaker 1>start disliking a video, people sort of start piling on

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 1>more dislikes, even though they just do it just to

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 1>be funny or something. So they said, you know what,

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 1>that's not very good for our creator viewer relationships. And

0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 1>so we're gonna still let you thumbs down a video,

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna show the creators the total number of

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>those thumbs down, but we're no longer gonna make it

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a game where you can see how many thumbs downs

0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 1>this video has compared to how many thumbs up thumbs.

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Up they'll still display, So that's basically it.

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is of course getting met with a

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of mixed reactions online. Some people say, well, that's

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 1>how I can tell if a video is worthless, which

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 1>I would agree with, because if you had noticed that

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a video has a lot of thumbs down, you might

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.199
<v Speaker 1>be like, I'm not gonna watch this. People were disappointed

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>with it, but I guess you'll just have to go

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>by viewcount, and that's you know, it's not the best,

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's going away, you know, rolling out, so it's

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.400
<v Speaker 1>not like immediately gone. But if you're a creator, you'll

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.440
<v Speaker 1>still be able to see these numbers on the back end.

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.359
<v Speaker 1>But if you're a viewer, you'll still be able to

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 1>dislike stuff, you just won't be able to see the

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.239
<v Speaker 1>total number of dislikes. And on the flip side, you

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:35.159
<v Speaker 1>can still use that dislike button to craft your YouTube experience.

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 2>So the stuff they show you for recommendations.

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 1>When you thumbs up and when you thumbs down, it

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>will still all go into that recommendation engine that's personalized

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>just for you. Joe says, Hey, Rich, I'm a SOCW

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>guy born and raised in a long time KTLA five viewer.

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 1>My family relocated to the Kansas City area. I've been

0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.639
<v Speaker 1>watching Foxford News and today was the first time I

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 1>saw your tech Smart segment since we relocated. I'm super

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.400
<v Speaker 1>stoked to know you're on my new local channel. Thanks

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>for keeping us tech smart. Keep up the great work,

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Joe Ka. Well, Joe, thank you. That's awesome that you

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.639
<v Speaker 1>saw me there. So it's kind of funny. I never

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 1>tell people. I don't make a big deal that we

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.880
<v Speaker 1>are on and a whole bunch of different markets because

0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.919
<v Speaker 1>it's just not really that important to the stories that

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I tell. You know, like, I'm just doing my segment,

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and if you happen to see me in a different city,

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. Now I get a lot of people that say, Rich,

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I saw you in you know, Hawaii or this or that,

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>and so I love it. I mean it's great, and

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>so the dirty little it's not a dirty secret. But

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:50.919
<v Speaker 1>the little secret is that, yes, I originate out of KTLA,

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and our segment does go out to a whole bunch

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 1>of other stations. And so with the company that we're

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 1>owned by, Next Star, they have like two hundred stations,

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, they all have the potential of running it.

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Do all of them run it every day? No, but

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of them do.

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 1>And so it's funny because I didn't know unbeknownst to me,

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>but these there are tracking systems that track the number

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of times that your story is shown in different places,

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and PR people use these to see when you do

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a story that mentions them or one of their you know,

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 1>whether it's a product, whether it's good or bad. They

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 1>want to know, and so they want to see the

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 1>clip to see exactly what she said. And I was

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>fascinated because someone that I know that does PR actually

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 1>sent me a copy of this because they said, Rich,

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 1>we had no idea that your segment airs in so

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>many different places, and said, yeah, I don't really tell

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people about that, but it does. And

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 1>so they ended up I said, well, send me a list,

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>let me.

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 2>See where it airs. And so let me just go

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:48.440
<v Speaker 2>through some of the places so.

0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, d C, Houston, Texas, Cleveland, Ohio, Sacramento,

0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Saint Louis, Indianapolis, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Can City, Columbus, Ohio,

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Greensboro, North Carolina, Albuquerque, New Mexico,

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans, Fresno, Little Rock, Des Moines, Iowa, Champagne, Illinois, Harlington, Texas, Harlingen, Harlingen, Texas,

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 1>El Paso, Texas, Baton Rouge, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Tyler, Texas, Peoria, Illinois,

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Sioux City, Iowa, Terry, terre Hote, Indiana, and Dothan, Alabama.

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 2>So pretty cool.

0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 1>And that's just one story, and that's just happens to

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.480
<v Speaker 1>be in, you know, in a small period of time.

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.359
<v Speaker 1>But it's kind of neat to know that you're airing now.

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.160
<v Speaker 1>We used to do a round robin with a lot

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 1>of these stations, so I used to know specifically where

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I did live shots for these places.

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 2>But we've changed it up just a little bit.

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's that's kind of a system that we're

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 1>not We're basically sending out the story where stations can

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>air it whenever they want, and so it's a little

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 1>bit different these days, but the reality is they're still

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.880
<v Speaker 1>airing it and it's still fun and it's great when

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you see me in a different place.

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 2>And especially when.

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I show up in place like Hawaii and like Las Vegas,

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, can I go there?

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Like that? Is that an acceptable business expense.

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 1>To go visit these places that I air in, because

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:17.679
<v Speaker 1>I've got to see what they look like, right Like,

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I need another look at Honolulu just to make sure

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that you know this is what it looks like. Anyway,

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 1>thanks for finding me there, and Joe, tell your friends

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:29.639
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City that you watch and tell them to

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 1>get tech smart. Robin Hood was hacked, and I don't

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 1>want to spend too much time on this because it's

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>one of these stories you're like, blah blah blah, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.640
<v Speaker 1>isn't everything hacked? Well, it's kind of scary when this happens.

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:46.960
<v Speaker 1>And so on November three, Robin Hood said someone got

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:50.120
<v Speaker 1>access to their to personal information on a whole bunch

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:52.359
<v Speaker 1>of people. Now they said, no soci security numbers, no

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 1>bank account numbers, no debit card numbers were exposed and

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>nobody's nobody lost money as a result of this like,

0:23:58.280 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>not directly at.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Least, so that's that's good.

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 1>But the odd thing is that this was a pretty big,

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:08.439
<v Speaker 1>big hack. This was a socially engineered hack, and social

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 1>engineering means that they didn't really have to guess a

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 1>password or break into the system. They basically tricked someone

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 1>into giving them access. They don't say how they did that,

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>but that's kind of scary. So h A customer said,

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the unauthorized party socially engineered a customer support employee by

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 1>phone and obtained access to certain customer support systems. So

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 1>what I'm guessing happened here is that this was not

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 1>a customer who called in and said, hey, can you

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.440
<v Speaker 1>give me the password to your back end systems? This

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.199
<v Speaker 1>person probably discovered the back end systems or how to

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 1>get access to those, or how to how to see

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 1>where they live on a server, and then called an

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.680
<v Speaker 1>employee by phone and said, hey, Jim, it's a it's

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Robin over Robin, it's uh, it's it's Tanya over here

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in in accounts department. Can you give me that password

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 1>real quick? Or what's the what's the pin code to

0:24:58.080 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>get in? I got to do some work on the

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 1>back end real quick. And the person was probably taken

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:03.400
<v Speaker 1>off guard and just gave the information over. Now I'm

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:05.120
<v Speaker 1>making that up, I don't know, but that's what I'm saying.

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of the idea of a social engineering attack,

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 1>is that you kind of trick someone into handing over

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 1>some information that you need that helps you hack a system.

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 2>That's scary.

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:18.879
<v Speaker 1>And I saw some screenshots I think they were obtained

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 1>by motherboard of these systems, and it was you know,

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>some behind the scenes stuff. So anyway, what did they get.

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 1>They got full email addresses for five million people, full

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:29.880
<v Speaker 1>names for two million people, and then for about three

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred people they got names, dates of birth, zip code,

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and ten people had even more information revealed. So what

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I think happened here is that for the you know,

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the five million and the two million, it was really easy.

0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>They just ran some sort of script that extracted like

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 1>simple stuff. But then to get the like, the real information,

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 1>they probably had to work a little bit harder, which

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 1>is why they were only able to get three hundred

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know, twenty people's information on a deeper level.

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, what I would recommend is number one, it's

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the same security cautions every single podcast.

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Number one.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Use a unique, separate password for every website that you visit,

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:14.679
<v Speaker 1>that you create a login for. Do not reuse passwords.

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Do not use variations of passwords. Do not use the

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:22.440
<v Speaker 1>same password for two websites. Do not keep a list

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>of those passwords.

0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't know.

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can keep a list somewhere, but as long

0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 1>as it's safe. But I would recommend using a password manager.

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 1>And yes I am guilty of this too. When you're

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:34.919
<v Speaker 1>signing up for a website, you want it to be

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the fastest possible experience. Ever, take the extra one minute

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to go into your password manager, generate a password, save

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the log in, and then copy and paste it into

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>this new website. I know it's especially tricky on your

0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 1>smartphone to do this unless you're using you know, one

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:55.679
<v Speaker 1>of the built in kind of you know, like Apple's

0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 1>iCloud password manager or something that's the android, the smart

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:02.120
<v Speaker 1>lock or whatever they call it an android.

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 2>But if you're using sort of a.

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Third party one, which you know, I would probably recommend

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 1>for most people, like a dash lane, or like a bitwarden,

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:14.959
<v Speaker 1>or a last pass or a one password. I mean,

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>there's so many to choose from. Just pick one that

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you like, that you think is fair. Bitwarden is totally

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 1>free for the regular user, so maybe that's where you start.

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 1>But just use these things and then set up two

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>factor authentication. I went in to my Robinhood account and

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:31.959
<v Speaker 1>I noticed that I did not have two factor authentication

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.360
<v Speaker 1>turned on. And so as soon as I saw this hack,

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, Okay, let me go turn that on. So

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I've turned that on and now that's just one more

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 1>one more barrier between you and someone that's trying to

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:44.679
<v Speaker 1>get into your account. Is it going to stop them

0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:47.399
<v Speaker 1>every single time? Absolutely not. If you listen to the

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:50.720
<v Speaker 1>last podcast, they talked about how they're getting around. They're

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:56.159
<v Speaker 1>social engineering the two factor authentication codes, and so you

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.199
<v Speaker 1>just have to do the best you can do to

0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 1>keep yourself protected. And that's all you can do. All right,

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the next question of the show. Ellie says,

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.199
<v Speaker 1>good morning, peace to you and your lovely family.

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Sir. I know you could help me. I work.

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, it looks like you work at a church,

0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:21.959
<v Speaker 1>two different churches, and I need to update past Google

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.359
<v Speaker 1>files that I have on Google slides and Google sheets,

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:27.639
<v Speaker 1>but I can't because of space. So this Saturday I

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 1>followed the link on my Gmail account. Bottom line, I

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:33.400
<v Speaker 1>got charged for a year's charge of nineteen ninety nine,

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>but through Apple. I'm confused because my Gmail and Google

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:39.920
<v Speaker 1>apps are still saying I'm out of space. I'm so confused.

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm fifty. I can't afford to be confused. Can you

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 1>please help me explain what I did wrong and what

0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 1>are the norms I do work? But you can call me.

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Call me.

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.479
<v Speaker 1>I think I added my credit card to my iPhone wallet.

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I want I don't want my credit cards on anything

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>on the iPhone. Ellia, Okay, so things just breaking this down.

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Number one, I don't think that this is a Google

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 1>storage issue with Google slides and Google sheets. Editing a

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Google slide or a Google sheet unless these things are

0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 1>dozens and dozens of gigabytes big, there's no way that

0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you're out of space and not able to manipulate those

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Google slides and Google sheets. So that's number one. I

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:25.800
<v Speaker 1>think it sounds like maybe you are out of space

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 1>on your on your iPhone and then the year's charge

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen ninety nine. I'm not even sure where that

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>comes from, because like on Google, for instance, if we

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>go to storage, the plans. I'm trying to see if

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I can downgrade. Can they don't even give me the

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 1>option to downgrade my storage. Wow, I don't even know

0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 1>if they have a plan. That's twenty dollars for the year.

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, bottom line, I think number one do this.

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:03.560
<v Speaker 2>So go to.

0:30:05.160 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Go to one dot Google dot com. Okay, So once

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you're there, this will help you manage your Google Drive plan.

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 1>So I want you to go there. On the left

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 1>hand side, it says storage. I want you to see

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 1>how much storage you're using. So, for instance, I have

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>five terabytes of storage. It's telling me I'm using two

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 1>point one of my five terabytes. And breaking it down further,

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I've got one hundred and twenty five gigs in Google Drive,

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty three gigs in Gmail, which is an outrageous amount

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that needs to be lessened. Then I have two terabytes

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:37.600
<v Speaker 1>in Google Photos and three ge a third of a

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 1>gigabyte in my recorder app. So if you scroll down

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, it says free up account storage, and

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 1>now you can go through and free up some of

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the account storage that you have. And what I would

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 1>do especially is empty the trash where it says deleted

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:57.000
<v Speaker 1>files in your Google drive. I would empty that trash.

0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Now that will give you enough storage to work through

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:03.040
<v Speaker 1>these Google slides and Google sheets. Now you have to

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:06.080
<v Speaker 1>figure out where this twenty dollars went. So I think

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:08.240
<v Speaker 1>it went to iCloud storage, if I had to guess,

0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not even sure they have a twenty dollars

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>yearly plan.

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really sure.

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 1>But you can go into your subscriptions on the iPhone

0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and to get there, just go into your settings and

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.680
<v Speaker 1>then your iCloud, which is up at the top, and

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 1>then it should say subscriptions and see if you have

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:25.720
<v Speaker 1>any active subscriptions, and if you need to, you can

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.840
<v Speaker 1>cancel those. But it sounds like you've got a couple

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of things going on here, and I know you're saying

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 1>you're confused, and I totally understand this because cloud storage

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>is one of these things where it is the trickiest

0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 1>thing that I deal with myself, personally, other people, family members,

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>because think about it. You've got your phone, which has

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a number a certain number of gigabytes. Then you've got

0:31:50.040 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 1>cloud storage, which has a certain number of gigabytes. But

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 1>then you have to work to maintain both of those

0:31:56.040 --> 0:32:00.240
<v Speaker 1>storage mediums, so that let's say you have an iphe

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that has a sixty four gigabyte limit, but then your

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Google Drive or your iCloud has you know, two fifty six,

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, well, I still have storage. I don't understand,

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 1>well that storage is living in the cloud and anything

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 1>that's on your phone is still taking up kind of

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:16.560
<v Speaker 1>both those places depending on how you have it set up.

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:18.600
<v Speaker 1>And so that's why you kind of have to go

0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 1>to the source on these things. I think iCloud is

0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 1>really really tricky with storage because they don't really give you,

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>from what I can tell, a very good way of

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>managing it. But you know, you just have to go

0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 1>through and just kind of go through and see what's

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>taking up the storage on your phone and then in

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 1>your in your cloud drives, and then that way you

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:38.720
<v Speaker 1>can kind of organize things and get them to a

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:41.760
<v Speaker 1>place where you're not overpaying. Right now, I'm overpaying every

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>single month, even though it's you know whatever, it is,

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 1>three bucks a month, But there's no reason for me

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to pay that.

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm paying twenty five.

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Dollars for Google Cloud storage for five terabytes. There's no

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.240
<v Speaker 1>reason why I need another two hundred on my iPhone.

0:32:55.480 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>But somehow, I do because if I want to back

0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>up my iPhone, I need that storage across for the

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 1>two iPhones in my house. So it's very tricky, and

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I totally understand that you're having trouble with it, and

0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that you are. You know, you're lesser

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in any way because of this Elia, because believe me,

0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:17.520
<v Speaker 1>it is something that is I think. I don't want

0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to say they make it confusing, but it's confusing, and

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I get it. Twenty bucks a year not that much.

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is, why should we have to pay

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 1>for anything if we don't need it, or if it's extra,

0:33:29.120 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 1>or if it's duplicated. So good question, and hopefully you

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 1>get that figured out.

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's see here this is a iCloud for Windows.

0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 1>According to nine to five Mac, the app has been

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:44.800
<v Speaker 1>updated with a password generator and then support for two

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 1>formats from the iPhone pro raw and pro res. So

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:53.959
<v Speaker 1>previously you could use the iCloud utility on your PC

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to copy and paste passwords that you created on your iPhone.

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Well now you can actually use it to generate passwords,

0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and so that's kind of cool. I I mean, I

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:08.720
<v Speaker 1>guess this is a step towards using iCloud password manager

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:11.919
<v Speaker 1>or whatever they call it on the iPhone and also

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:15.080
<v Speaker 1>with a Windows computer. But personally, if I was doing that,

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I would go with a third party, non platforms specific

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:24.000
<v Speaker 1>app like I said earlier, Bitwarden, or a dash lane

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 1>or a last pass these also, these all work nicely

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 1>on both platforms. Now, like I said, nine to five,

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Mac is reporting that the iCloud utility for Windows is

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:35.759
<v Speaker 1>getting better at helping.

0:34:35.440 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 2>You use this feature on Windows.

0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 1>But again with Apple stuff, almost everything besides their own

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:45.279
<v Speaker 1>ecosystem is sort of an afterthought. And so if you

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:48.839
<v Speaker 1>look at storing your your photos in iCloud, which is great.

0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 1>iCloud is nice. It's your photos are on your phone,

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:54.440
<v Speaker 1>but it's only good if you use an iPhone only.

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's why I use Google Photos because I like

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 1>to see my photos on any device that I log into,

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 1>and the same goes for Amazon Photos. You can use

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>that on iPhone, you can use it on Apple, you

0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:09.919
<v Speaker 1>can use it on your certain TVs, just depends which one.

0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 1>But you know, Apple stuff is mostly geared towards Apple users,

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:17.319
<v Speaker 1>and yes they throw your bone every once in a

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 1>while like this, but it's not ideal and Anyway, what

0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying is it's nice that if you started using

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>the iCloud password system on your iPhone and you were

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of frustrated with a computer system on your Windows computer,

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it does help that now this is available, so update

0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 1>that app and now you can generate passwords there, all right,

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Derek writes in Rich do you recommend doing a complete

0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 1>factory reset of a Sony TV before giving it away

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to a friend? Or is it okay to just sign

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:52.880
<v Speaker 1>out of the Google account, delete my installed apps, and

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 1>do a system data reset instead. Have a tremendous day, Derek. Derek,

0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:01.520
<v Speaker 1>if you listen to this show at all, you know

0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>what I'm gonna say. You do the complete factory reset.

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:06.799
<v Speaker 1>And the reason I would do that is because why

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:09.320
<v Speaker 1>do you want things lingering any of your personal information?

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:12.520
<v Speaker 1>If you miss something, it can linger now the way

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that these TVs are set up, I would I would

0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 1>venture to say that when you sign out of the

0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Google account, it would kind of bring it back to

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a place where the next person can use it. But

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:24.799
<v Speaker 1>you just don't know, and why are you gonna take

0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:27.720
<v Speaker 1>that chance? And also, over the years of having this TV,

0:36:28.280 --> 0:36:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you might have changed some settings you might have changed

0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the way the audio format works, or the output or

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:38.759
<v Speaker 1>the picture or the screen like you might have adjusted

0:36:39.040 --> 0:36:44.000
<v Speaker 1>contrast and different color portions or the color What am

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I trying to say, you know, like the color sliders right.

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 1>You might have adjusted the output, you might have renamed

0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the HDMI inputs.

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Whatever you did, it's nice.

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 1>That you're giving this sony TV away to a friend,

0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:58.719
<v Speaker 1>but don't burden them with all of your old settings.

0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 1>So go ahead, do a complete factory reset, and that

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:04.920
<v Speaker 1>way you know your WiFi is disconnected from it. But

0:37:05.040 --> 0:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>before you do that, I would just check to see

0:37:07.040 --> 0:37:09.759
<v Speaker 1>if there's a software update for this TV and that

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:12.279
<v Speaker 1>might save your friends some hassles or headaches when they

0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:14.839
<v Speaker 1>go to set it up again, because it'll you know,

0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 1>it just makes the.

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Process a little bit smoother.

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.880
<v Speaker 1>But yes, always, when you're giving a gadget away to anyone,

0:37:20.440 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 1>complete factory reset is the best way to do it.

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Make sure that everything is gone and it's back to

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that screen that says hello or welcome or whatever it is.

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:34.160
<v Speaker 1>In fact, this is a major issue for myself, who

0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:37.640
<v Speaker 1>is constantly going through gadgets with you know, these these

0:37:37.680 --> 0:37:40.239
<v Speaker 1>test gadgets that I get you know before I send

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 1>them back A lot of times, you know, it's it's

0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:44.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of a process to get these things back into

0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:47.640
<v Speaker 1>like you know, either the box or either the factory

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you know reset, and I have to sit there and

0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:51.880
<v Speaker 1>like it takes me on a Saturday, like, you know,

0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:54.319
<v Speaker 1>especially if it's an older gadget that I haven't used

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:55.560
<v Speaker 1>in a while, I have to plug it in.

0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I've got to charge it.

0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I've got to make sure, you know, if it's like

0:37:58.239 --> 0:37:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a streaming stick, I got to connect it to the

0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 1>t make sure that I can you know, you know,

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.400
<v Speaker 1>get the HDMI connected and like make sure I can go.

0:38:06.800 --> 0:38:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's a process sometimes, so I get it.

0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 1>But in the end, you always want to protect your

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:15.040
<v Speaker 1>personal privacy and so or your personal data and privacy.

0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:19.319
<v Speaker 1>So Derek definitely definitely do the complete factory reset. That's

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the best way to do it, all right.

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:27.080
<v Speaker 1>So this is a really cool feature and something that

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised nobody else has done. But on Prime Video.

0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>According to Amazon, they now have a new clip sharing feature.

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:40.279
<v Speaker 1>And this is very simple. If you see something that

0:38:40.320 --> 0:38:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you like in a show, like a funny joke they made,

0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:48.439
<v Speaker 1>or a funny just anything, anything that you like, you

0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:51.200
<v Speaker 1>can make a thirty second clip of that and share

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:53.839
<v Speaker 1>it out to social media. And this can be done

0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:56.359
<v Speaker 1>right from your phone. And this is a Prime Video

0:38:56.600 --> 0:39:00.040
<v Speaker 1>exclusive only on iOS right now, and they call it.

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's see does it have a name.

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:06.239
<v Speaker 1>With x ray technology, Prime Video customers can now share

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>their favorite clips from select Amazon original series with friends

0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and family on social media or via direct message. So

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:19.239
<v Speaker 1>what I'm guessing this does, because I've not tested this myself,

0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing I'm trying to figure out if this actually

0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:26.680
<v Speaker 1>gives you like the video. I think it does just

0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of fascinating to me. Like, so they don't mind

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 1>if it's a thirty second I guess it's thirty second clip.

0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:35.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean if it gets the name or this show's.

0:39:35.040 --> 0:39:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Name out there, then why not, right? And So it's

0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 1>funny because I did this the other day with my sister.

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I was watching a show and they made a joke

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:47.400
<v Speaker 1>about vegans and my sister's vegan, and so I just

0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:50.280
<v Speaker 1>recorded my TV screen. It was just, you know, fifteen

0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:53.279
<v Speaker 1>second joke and I sent it to her and this

0:39:53.360 --> 0:39:56.399
<v Speaker 1>is exactly what I did. So now I think people

0:39:56.440 --> 0:39:58.320
<v Speaker 1>are still going to do that because it's just easier.

0:39:58.600 --> 0:40:01.200
<v Speaker 1>But this is kind of nice that for social media purposes.

0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:04.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, I probably wouldn't share something that I recorded

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 1>off the screen.

0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:06.400
<v Speaker 2>On social media.

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I would, I'm not really sure, but you know,

0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:11.400
<v Speaker 1>or if there's like an award show, you can clip it.

0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:14.080
<v Speaker 1>But this is thirty seconds, and so all you have

0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:15.919
<v Speaker 1>to do once you're on the show, you.

0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Just hit pause, you hit share a clip.

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.160
<v Speaker 1>It'll make a thirty second clip of what you just watched,

0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and you can fine tune it so you can say,

0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I want a couple seconds before, a couple

0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 1>seconds after, but it's only thirty seconds that you get

0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 1>so and then it looks like it puts a watermark

0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of both Prime Video and the name of the show

0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:34.719
<v Speaker 1>on the video clip. And then once you're ready to share,

0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 1>just hit share and you can upload it. Oh so yeah,

0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:39.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like a it's a full video. You can upload

0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:44.480
<v Speaker 1>it to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, I Message, WhatsApp and more. Now,

0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 1>this only works for a couple of shows right now.

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.840
<v Speaker 1>The Boys, which I haven't seen, The Wild which I

0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:51.879
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen, Invincible, which I haven't seen. In Fairfax. With

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 1>more original Amazon movies and series to follow. So I

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:59.880
<v Speaker 1>think this is one hundred percent brilliant thinking outside the

0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:04.359
<v Speaker 1>by Amazon, and I think that Netflix should steal this

0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:08.320
<v Speaker 1>feature immediately because or this should become a standard feature

0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:12.879
<v Speaker 1>of any of any streaming service, because there's so many

0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:16.600
<v Speaker 1>little shareable moments that are funny or interesting or you

0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:18.840
<v Speaker 1>want to say for later or share with your friends,

0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:21.800
<v Speaker 1>that this is just a no no brainer way to

0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:25.000
<v Speaker 1>let people do this in a way that does not infringe.

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:29.319
<v Speaker 3>On copyright or you know whatever, whatever whatever it is.

0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:34.640
<v Speaker 2>That was that was weird. I'm like, ah, copy, I

0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Dan says, hello, Rich, is there a device or app

0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:42.799
<v Speaker 1>that can translate foreign language TV shows or films in

0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that can plug into my TV or install my phone?

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 1>My wife is watching a Turkish show and he says

0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the name which I can't pronounce, and not all shows

0:41:51.760 --> 0:41:55.759
<v Speaker 1>episodes have English subtitles in YouTube. Thank you for being

0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:59.839
<v Speaker 1>trying to be a hero for my wife. Thank you, Dan, Dan.

0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I would recommend two things. Now, you sent this from

0:42:01.719 --> 0:42:05.759
<v Speaker 1>your iPhone, so I would say, on the iPhone, just

0:42:05.920 --> 0:42:10.480
<v Speaker 1>use the translate app. So there's a built in translate

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:13.719
<v Speaker 1>app now on iPhone you can try that, and it's

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 1>not gonna install on your TV. But what your wife

0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:17.520
<v Speaker 1>would do is just kind of prop up her phone

0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 1>underneath the show and it can listen to what's happening

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 1>on TV and translate that in real time. Now, I

0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:29.520
<v Speaker 1>haven't had enough experience with the app on the translate

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:31.560
<v Speaker 1>app on the iPhone to actually know if it does

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:35.520
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I'm talking about, but I think on if

0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you want, you can also try downloading Google's translate app,

0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and that is available for the iPhone and try the

0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 1>same thing.

0:42:42.719 --> 0:42:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Just leave it open. You know, there's like a mic

0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:45.839
<v Speaker 2>button you can leave it open.

0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how long these apps are going to

0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:52.359
<v Speaker 1>let you translate for free, but that is, you know,

0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the question here. But that's one way of trying

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to do it. And maybe if she can just get

0:42:56.600 --> 0:42:58.680
<v Speaker 1>some of the show or you know whatever, that will work.

0:42:58.880 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:42:59.040 --> 0:43:01.439
<v Speaker 1>The other thing is there's a feature on Android called

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:06.040
<v Speaker 1>live caption and it actually works in like several languages now,

0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and that is another option, but you'd have to go.

0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:12.319
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just available on the Pixel six or

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the or the pixel lineup, I should say, but I'm

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:18.319
<v Speaker 1>not really sure. So that's another option. But that's a,

0:43:18.440 --> 0:43:20.520
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty amazing option. Oh wait, I just thought

0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:25.719
<v Speaker 1>of another option. On Chrome. There is an option, oh

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:28.520
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's for English only, But there is

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:34.960
<v Speaker 1>a There is an option under Advanced and Accessibility. Yeah,

0:43:35.600 --> 0:43:38.360
<v Speaker 1>it's called live caption. And if you go into Chrome

0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Options Accessibility and then live Caption, turn that on. This

0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:47.040
<v Speaker 1>is pretty powerful and it's pretty amazing. It will live

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:50.480
<v Speaker 1>caption anything any video that is playing on your computer.

0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:52.919
<v Speaker 1>And yes, it would work with YouTube videos, but it's

0:43:52.960 --> 0:43:56.000
<v Speaker 1>only for English, so it would not work in this

0:43:56.400 --> 0:44:00.400
<v Speaker 1>in this setting for a Turkish.

0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's say, you know they oh gosh, yeah Turkish.

0:44:05.400 --> 0:44:08.440
<v Speaker 1>So I would say, Now, the funny thing is Google

0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:13.160
<v Speaker 1>came out with this feature on the Android side of things,

0:44:13.239 --> 0:44:15.839
<v Speaker 1>that you know, on the pixel that does support more

0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:19.680
<v Speaker 1>languages with that live caption, So I can only I

0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:21.759
<v Speaker 1>can only imagine that it's just a matter of time

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:24.479
<v Speaker 1>before this makes its way into more places. The live

0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:27.279
<v Speaker 1>caption feature was on Androids for a long time before

0:44:27.280 --> 0:44:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it came to Chrome, so I think that it's probably

0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I would say, another couple months, maybe a year before

0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:36.440
<v Speaker 1>this makes it fully to Chrome, where anything you watch

0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:39.759
<v Speaker 1>can be translated into any language that you need, so

0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:44.360
<v Speaker 1>good question there, and hopefully you are a hero to

0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:47.640
<v Speaker 1>your wife no matter what. All right, best and more

0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:51.720
<v Speaker 1>states for ev charging. So what can I say? I

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:54.719
<v Speaker 1>have been talking about the Tesla on the podcast, and

0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I will say I still one hundred percent absolutely infatuated

0:44:58.920 --> 0:44:59.560
<v Speaker 1>with this car.

0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 1>It's the best car I've ever had. I will say

0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:06.279
<v Speaker 1>the fit and finish of the Tesla is definitely not

0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the best compared to other cars I've had, but it

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:14.879
<v Speaker 1>is overall the experience of driving, of using it, of

0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:17.640
<v Speaker 1>not having to go to the gas station is pretty phenomenal.

0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:21.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny because there's a little debate on Twitter about,

0:45:21.280 --> 0:45:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, how expensive gas prices are, and people were saying,

0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:26.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, why would you ever drive a gas car

0:45:26.360 --> 0:45:29.120
<v Speaker 1>when you can get an electric car? And here's the thing,

0:45:29.680 --> 0:45:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I understand the fact that you do not buy

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a brand new electric car to save money on gas

0:45:37.200 --> 0:45:39.919
<v Speaker 1>number one, just because you're putting out all this new

0:45:39.920 --> 0:45:44.520
<v Speaker 1>money on this new car, that is negating any sort

0:45:44.560 --> 0:45:47.720
<v Speaker 1>of savings you might have with electricity. So for instance,

0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:51.799
<v Speaker 1>for me, you know, not only was a car expensive,

0:45:52.200 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 1>but then I had to pay it was like total

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:59.520
<v Speaker 1>about fifteen hundred bucks to get the charger installed for

0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:02.799
<v Speaker 1>the car, and so right there, if you do the math,

0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I was not. I mean, was I spending two let's see,

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:09.960
<v Speaker 1>fifteen hundred dollars times divided by twelve months, that's one

0:46:10.040 --> 0:46:12.440
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty five dollars a month. So yeah, maybe

0:46:12.480 --> 0:46:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I was spending that much on gas, but I don't

0:46:14.040 --> 0:46:15.520
<v Speaker 1>think I was. I think I was spending closer to

0:46:15.520 --> 0:46:18.480
<v Speaker 1>like forty or you'll say, eighty a month on gas

0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:20.560
<v Speaker 1>for my car because it was a pretty, you know,

0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 1>gas sipping vehicle. Maybe not, but the reality is you're

0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:29.880
<v Speaker 1>not buying a Tesla or an EV for the savings

0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:32.040
<v Speaker 1>right now. In the future, maybe you are, and maybe

0:46:32.040 --> 0:46:34.879
<v Speaker 1>you are in the way it works out for your math,

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:37.320
<v Speaker 1>but I think for most people that are buying it,

0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it is like for me personally, it was it just

0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:44.640
<v Speaker 1>felt what it just felt like what I wanted to

0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:46.880
<v Speaker 1>do in my life, like the right thing for me.

0:46:47.480 --> 0:46:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I just couldn't see myself getting another gas powered car

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:54.640
<v Speaker 1>because I live in Los Angeles mostly I commute. You know,

0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to contribute to any problems happening with gas,

0:46:58.320 --> 0:47:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Nor did I like the the progress of our gas

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:03.719
<v Speaker 1>prices here in Los Angeles, and so I just said,

0:47:03.719 --> 0:47:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm doing it and I'm making the switch.

0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:08.440
<v Speaker 1>And did I save any money in the process. I

0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:11.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. But do I feel great about it?

0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes? And do I love it? Of course?

0:47:13.560 --> 0:47:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And have I had to pay for charging like a

0:47:15.960 --> 0:47:17.480
<v Speaker 1>total of three times only?

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:47:18.520 --> 0:47:20.759
<v Speaker 1>So I think that this whole idea of buying an

0:47:20.760 --> 0:47:24.880
<v Speaker 1>EV to like, you know, avoid gas prices, maybe in

0:47:24.880 --> 0:47:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the long term it is true. I don't know, But

0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, like, there's always this debate, and I

0:47:28.880 --> 0:47:29.680
<v Speaker 1>just don't think it's that.

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's that clear cut. For most people.

0:47:33.120 --> 0:47:35.319
<v Speaker 1>They're not going out there to buy an EV and like, oh,

0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:37.360
<v Speaker 1>just buy a Tesla and you can avoid gas. Like, No,

0:47:37.560 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 1>most people can't do that. So most people, if they

0:47:40.719 --> 0:47:42.200
<v Speaker 1>have their car, they want to stick with it.

0:47:42.360 --> 0:47:42.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean I do.

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to stick with my car as long as

0:47:44.239 --> 0:47:48.080
<v Speaker 1>possible to save the most money. So anyway, with all

0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that said, that's kind of a side note to this

0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:53.320
<v Speaker 1>next story, the best and worst US states for EV charging.

0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:56.000
<v Speaker 1>The reason I say this is because here in California,

0:47:56.440 --> 0:47:59.120
<v Speaker 1>EV's are so easy, like it's almost a no brainer,

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:02.400
<v Speaker 1>But if I in a different state, I would probably

0:48:02.400 --> 0:48:04.399
<v Speaker 1>have a little bit of pause before I got an EV.

0:48:04.560 --> 0:48:07.360
<v Speaker 1>And the reason is because there are some trade offs.

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Like so, for instance, we went to San Diego last

0:48:09.840 --> 0:48:13.239
<v Speaker 1>weekend and we went to our friend's house, and you know,

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I had to check where a charger was near their

0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:18.120
<v Speaker 1>friend's house because I knew when we got down there

0:48:18.120 --> 0:48:18.920
<v Speaker 1>we'd be on empty.

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:20.720
<v Speaker 2>And so it turns out.

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:24.680
<v Speaker 1>There was a supercharger literally at the shopping mall near

0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:27.520
<v Speaker 1>their house, and it was so easy to charge.

0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:29.320
<v Speaker 2>It was just it was so simple.

0:48:29.719 --> 0:48:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Now on the flip side, yeah, when you charge your car,

0:48:33.000 --> 0:48:34.319
<v Speaker 1>what do you do if it's in one of these

0:48:34.320 --> 0:48:36.279
<v Speaker 1>shopping malls. You go in and you spend money. And

0:48:36.360 --> 0:48:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that aspect because we did do that,

0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and while our car was charging, you know, we went

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:43.720
<v Speaker 1>in and we spent you know, a couple of bucks

0:48:43.760 --> 0:48:44.360
<v Speaker 1>at the store.

0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:46.719
<v Speaker 2>And well, it wasn't a couple of bucks. It was

0:48:47.120 --> 0:48:48.440
<v Speaker 2>it was like over one hundred bucks.

0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:51.279
<v Speaker 1>And so if I would have just gassed up my car,

0:48:51.360 --> 0:48:53.480
<v Speaker 1>we would have maybe spent five bucks on snacks at

0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the gas station and you'd go. So that's one of

0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the downsides is that you're always like, you know, you

0:48:57.600 --> 0:48:59.239
<v Speaker 1>have this time to burn and what do you do?

0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:00.960
<v Speaker 1>You end up going in a store and what are

0:49:00.960 --> 0:49:03.480
<v Speaker 1>they doing. They're building a lot of these chargers outside

0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:07.480
<v Speaker 1>stores and restaurants just for that reason. So maybe you

0:49:07.480 --> 0:49:09.080
<v Speaker 1>have more willpower, maybe you can sit in the car

0:49:09.120 --> 0:49:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and watch Netflix.

0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

0:49:10.239 --> 0:49:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I've also have kids, so we walked around whatever anyway.

0:49:12.920 --> 0:49:15.680
<v Speaker 1>States with the most electric This is according to Electric

0:49:15.800 --> 0:49:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Electric the website, which is a great website for all

0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:23.919
<v Speaker 1>stuff ev Let's see number one. States with the most

0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:28.360
<v Speaker 1>electric vehicles per public charging port. States with the most

0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:34.560
<v Speaker 1>electric vehicles per public charging port is Arizona, Hawaii, Washington State,

0:49:34.719 --> 0:49:38.360
<v Speaker 1>So that means that there's a lot of electric vehicles

0:49:38.400 --> 0:49:42.760
<v Speaker 1>per port. States with the least evis per charge port

0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:46.760
<v Speaker 1>or sorry, the best states for public charging points based

0:49:46.800 --> 0:49:54.040
<v Speaker 1>on mileage is Washington, DC, California, and Hawaii. That's really surprising.

0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I would not think. Maybe that's I don't know, but

0:49:57.200 --> 0:49:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the top three states for chargers are California and New

0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:02.759
<v Speaker 1>York and Florida, and of course those are just like

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:03.840
<v Speaker 1>huge states.

0:50:04.000 --> 0:50:04.480
<v Speaker 2>And then.

0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:10.560
<v Speaker 1>California and Florida have the most registered evs. Texas comes

0:50:10.560 --> 0:50:15.160
<v Speaker 1>in third. Alaska has the fewest number of EV charging outlets,

0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:20.160
<v Speaker 1>followed by the Dakotas. Wyoming and Montana don't have very

0:50:20.200 --> 0:50:23.840
<v Speaker 1>much either, but California is pretty much number one in

0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:26.120
<v Speaker 1>every category. So if you want to cross the board,

0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just they're apparently, according to this table,

0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:35.400
<v Speaker 1>they've got fourteen million electric cars. And again, this is

0:50:35.440 --> 0:50:37.759
<v Speaker 1>another thing that you realize you when you have an

0:50:37.760 --> 0:50:41.200
<v Speaker 1>electric car. Right now, it's all very novel, right you

0:50:41.280 --> 0:50:44.240
<v Speaker 1>go to the store, you find little charger, you plug

0:50:44.280 --> 0:50:44.799
<v Speaker 1>your car in.

0:50:45.000 --> 0:50:47.960
<v Speaker 2>It's so great, you don't have to wait. But as these.

0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Things take off, there is going to be a bigger

0:50:51.040 --> 0:50:55.520
<v Speaker 1>impact on the grid, on the systems, on the chargers,

0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:57.880
<v Speaker 1>on you know all those parking spots right now that

0:50:57.920 --> 0:50:59.880
<v Speaker 1>are in the front of the store, because you know,

0:50:59.880 --> 0:51:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you got your charger spot, your EV only parking. But

0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how far out we are, but it's

0:51:05.560 --> 0:51:06.359
<v Speaker 1>it is fun though.

0:51:06.480 --> 0:51:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Right now.

0:51:06.920 --> 0:51:08.759
<v Speaker 1>It's fun, I will that's the best way I can

0:51:08.800 --> 0:51:12.560
<v Speaker 1>describe it. It's just fun. It's it's an adventure. And

0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I tweeted this today, but it kind of reminds me

0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:18.160
<v Speaker 1>of when I got the first iPhone because it was

0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:21.040
<v Speaker 1>such a departure from every other smartphone I ever had.

0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Every day using it was an adventure. The way it worked,

0:51:24.840 --> 0:51:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the way it sounded, the way you could do things

0:51:27.200 --> 0:51:29.400
<v Speaker 1>on the screen, the way you could read the newspaper

0:51:29.440 --> 0:51:31.759
<v Speaker 1>on there, the way you could stream stuff, the way

0:51:31.800 --> 0:51:34.720
<v Speaker 1>you could watch media, the way you can make phone calls,

0:51:34.760 --> 0:51:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the way it did all kinds of stuff.

0:51:36.239 --> 0:51:38.000
<v Speaker 2>You could run. Maybe you couldn't run with it at

0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:38.520
<v Speaker 2>that point.

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:42.560
<v Speaker 1>But there's just so many like little easter eggs every

0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:44.440
<v Speaker 1>day that you're discovering. And that's the same way I

0:51:44.440 --> 0:51:46.840
<v Speaker 1>feel about the electric car. And so it's fun right now,

0:51:47.000 --> 0:51:49.040
<v Speaker 1>but there will come a point where it's like the iPhone,

0:51:49.040 --> 0:51:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like standard issue.

0:51:50.080 --> 0:51:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Everyone has one.

0:51:51.280 --> 0:51:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean I say that in a way that you

0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:56.360
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of people have smartphones now, and so

0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:58.279
<v Speaker 1>it's not so novel when you see someone pull out

0:51:58.280 --> 0:52:00.600
<v Speaker 1>a smartphone at a table and you're like, ooh, ooh,

0:52:00.640 --> 0:52:03.319
<v Speaker 1>show me the cool features, because it's just we all

0:52:03.360 --> 0:52:04.440
<v Speaker 1>know what the deal is.

0:52:06.160 --> 0:52:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's see.

0:52:06.680 --> 0:52:09.320
<v Speaker 1>That's it for that story. But I thought that was interesting.

0:52:09.480 --> 0:52:12.319
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, the first iPhone, if you had one,

0:52:12.520 --> 0:52:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you might remember this, but it was a nightmare nightmare,

0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:19.480
<v Speaker 1>mikenightmare for making phone calls.

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:21.879
<v Speaker 2>It was so bad, so bad, it.

0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Dropped every single call and never forgot walking down the

0:52:23.920 --> 0:52:25.600
<v Speaker 1>street to my dentist. And I think I mentioned this

0:52:25.640 --> 0:52:27.759
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast once before. I was talking to my

0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:30.960
<v Speaker 1>best friend and I was saying, you know, I got

0:52:31.000 --> 0:52:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the new iPhone. Can you believe it? He goes, Dude,

0:52:33.600 --> 0:52:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't understand a word you're saying. You're breaking up

0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:37.759
<v Speaker 1>so bad. This was back when it was on AT

0:52:37.840 --> 0:52:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and t's brand new or I don't know, it was

0:52:39.520 --> 0:52:40.960
<v Speaker 1>on some sort of AT and T network.

0:52:41.000 --> 0:52:42.799
<v Speaker 2>It was an exclusive and it was just.

0:52:42.840 --> 0:52:47.080
<v Speaker 1>So bad that it was so horrendous to use as

0:52:47.080 --> 0:52:49.960
<v Speaker 1>an actual phone. Everything else was great, but the phone

0:52:49.960 --> 0:52:52.680
<v Speaker 1>calls were just so bad. But that's all been fixed now,

0:52:53.239 --> 0:52:56.719
<v Speaker 1>all right. Final story of the podcast Peloton. I don't

0:52:56.719 --> 0:52:58.400
<v Speaker 1>know if you heard. They were kind of battered in

0:52:59.480 --> 0:53:03.279
<v Speaker 1>the last week with their earnings and their projections. This

0:53:03.320 --> 0:53:05.239
<v Speaker 1>is not CNBC, so I'm not going to get into that.

0:53:05.280 --> 0:53:07.840
<v Speaker 1>But the bottom line is that, yeah, Peloton had a

0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:10.960
<v Speaker 1>moment during the pandemic where people realized they wanted to

0:53:11.000 --> 0:53:13.920
<v Speaker 1>work out at home, and demand went through the roof

0:53:14.080 --> 0:53:16.399
<v Speaker 1>and popularity went through the roof, and now that people

0:53:16.440 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 1>are going back to the gyms, you know, Peloton is

0:53:20.120 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>still doing well. And I still think that Peloton made

0:53:22.560 --> 0:53:25.239
<v Speaker 1>a huge impact in our world. But they're just not

0:53:25.440 --> 0:53:28.320
<v Speaker 1>going to sell as many bikes going forward or according

0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to their projections, nor did they sell that many in

0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the past couple of months. So do I think that

0:53:34.600 --> 0:53:37.799
<v Speaker 1>this means the end of Peloton. Absolutely not. Peloton got

0:53:37.880 --> 0:53:40.680
<v Speaker 1>us through through the entire pandemic, even though I used

0:53:40.719 --> 0:53:43.640
<v Speaker 1>it on my bowflex. I used the digital classes and

0:53:43.880 --> 0:53:46.840
<v Speaker 1>it was amazing, and I still think the instructors are amazing.

0:53:46.880 --> 0:53:49.319
<v Speaker 1>I think what they're building is really cool, and it

0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:52.320
<v Speaker 1>might be a little bit slower than what everyone else wants.

0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I also think they're an acquisition target because you know,

0:53:55.640 --> 0:53:58.680
<v Speaker 1>another bigger fitness company might come through and purchase them,

0:53:58.760 --> 0:54:03.040
<v Speaker 1>or consolidate a couple of different types of fitness machines

0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:06.840
<v Speaker 1>into one. But anyway, so Peloton has a new device

0:54:06.880 --> 0:54:10.080
<v Speaker 1>called the Peloton Guide. This is a five hundred dollars

0:54:10.640 --> 0:54:12.440
<v Speaker 1>The best way I can describe it is it's a

0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:17.040
<v Speaker 1>camera that you put underneath your TV. Kind of looks

0:54:17.080 --> 0:54:19.680
<v Speaker 1>like the remote from the Google Chrome Cast TV. It

0:54:19.719 --> 0:54:23.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of reminds me of the Microsoft Connect from the Xbox.

0:54:23.680 --> 0:54:27.600
<v Speaker 1>And this uses machine learning to track your progress and movements.

0:54:28.040 --> 0:54:30.960
<v Speaker 1>So not only does it watch how you exercise and

0:54:30.960 --> 0:54:34.960
<v Speaker 1>give you feedback on that, but it also helps you

0:54:35.160 --> 0:54:38.600
<v Speaker 1>figure out which muscles you've worked and recommend other muscle

0:54:38.600 --> 0:54:41.960
<v Speaker 1>groups that you need to work. It's voice activated, it's

0:54:42.000 --> 0:54:43.920
<v Speaker 1>got a camera on it, but of course there is

0:54:44.040 --> 0:54:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the privacy slider so that you can turn it off

0:54:46.600 --> 0:54:50.359
<v Speaker 1>at anytime. There's also a heart rate band that goes

0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:53.920
<v Speaker 1>along with it. So the thing here is that Peloton

0:54:54.040 --> 0:54:56.200
<v Speaker 1>is trying to create a world where you don't just

0:54:56.280 --> 0:54:59.399
<v Speaker 1>follow along on the TV with these workouts, but you're

0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:07.319
<v Speaker 1>actively getting artificial intelligence feedback on your workout exactly what

0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a what a trainer would do in real life. They

0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:11.919
<v Speaker 1>would say, rich, you know, you gotta squat a little

0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:15.439
<v Speaker 1>bit deeper, or you gotta, you know, do this, move

0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:17.319
<v Speaker 1>your arm this way, or make sure you don't bend

0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:19.120
<v Speaker 1>your back, whatever the trainer would say.

0:55:19.040 --> 0:55:19.680
<v Speaker 2>In real life.

0:55:20.000 --> 0:55:21.960
<v Speaker 1>That would be the goal of this new device.

0:55:23.120 --> 0:55:26.760
<v Speaker 3>When is it arriving, I don't know when is it arriving.

0:55:27.840 --> 0:55:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when it's arriving. In twenty early twenty

0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:33.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty two, so that's coming soon.

0:55:33.640 --> 0:55:34.359
<v Speaker 2>I think it's cool.

0:55:34.400 --> 0:55:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Five hundred dollars is very expensive, but we'll see. I mean,

0:55:38.080 --> 0:55:42.200
<v Speaker 1>peloton stuff is not cheap. Incidentally to other things about

0:55:42.200 --> 0:55:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the fitness stuff. Number one, I tested an app that

0:55:44.520 --> 0:55:49.360
<v Speaker 1>was just like this and it's called on how do

0:55:49.360 --> 0:55:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you say onx O n y x onyx And it

0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:55.560
<v Speaker 1>exactly if you want to try this out, you can

0:55:55.600 --> 0:55:58.239
<v Speaker 1>download this app for your iPhone and you can see

0:55:58.239 --> 0:56:01.640
<v Speaker 1>it use the camera to monitor exactly how you're working out,

0:56:01.680 --> 0:56:03.440
<v Speaker 1>and it will give you feedback in real time, and

0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it's actually pretty amazing.

0:56:04.440 --> 0:56:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll put it in the show notes.

0:56:05.800 --> 0:56:07.400
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing is that I tested this thing

0:56:07.480 --> 0:56:12.200
<v Speaker 1>called climber CLMBR and it's a vertical climbing machine and

0:56:12.280 --> 0:56:14.360
<v Speaker 1>it's like a Peloton but for vertical climbing. And I

0:56:14.360 --> 0:56:17.960
<v Speaker 1>got to say, all I have to say is ubsessed.

0:56:17.960 --> 0:56:19.279
<v Speaker 1>And I told my wife, I'm like, I think I

0:56:19.280 --> 0:56:21.160
<v Speaker 1>want to buy one of these, even though it's too expensive.

0:56:21.160 --> 0:56:24.200
<v Speaker 2>It's twenty eight hundred bucks, but I really really want one.

0:56:24.400 --> 0:56:27.279
<v Speaker 1>And it's just the full body workout that I got

0:56:27.280 --> 0:56:28.839
<v Speaker 1>from it was just phenomenal.

0:56:29.000 --> 0:56:30.520
<v Speaker 2>And that's a startup.

0:56:30.520 --> 0:56:32.239
<v Speaker 1>But It's always a little scary to spend twenty eight

0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:35.759
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks on a startups product because you know, are

0:56:35.760 --> 0:56:38.959
<v Speaker 1>they going to be around in a year or two

0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and then this twenty eight hundred dollars product could be

0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a brick. And I'm not saying that's going to happen

0:56:46.080 --> 0:56:48.960
<v Speaker 1>with this company, but you just never know.

0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:51.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's going to do it for this episode

0:56:51.640 --> 0:56:52.160
<v Speaker 2>of the show.

0:56:52.200 --> 0:56:53.719
