1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Google has a new fishing quiz, nest cams are hacked,

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: and another photo app bites the dust. What's going on?

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm Richdemiro. This is Rich on Tech coming to you

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: today from Los Angeles and also live streaming on Facebook,

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: so thanks for joining me there as well. In this podcast,

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: I will be taking your calls, plus I'll be talking

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: about some great stories. This is the stuff that I

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: think you should know about. You know, I cover tech

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: for a living, and there's a lot of stories throughout

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: the week. But these are the things that I identify

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: that I think are important for you to know about.

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: I think are interesting, and of course you can debate

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: that with me. We're all human here. We all have

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: different things that we think are interesting and noteworthy, of course,

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: depending which side of the fence you're on, whether it's

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Android or iPhone, or Mac or PC, or if you

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: like you know, home audio and video versus computers versus

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, car tech. There's a lot of stuff happening

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: in the tech world, but the bottom line is it

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: is all a lot of fun. It's happening fast, and

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: this is my attempt at helping you understand at least

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: a little portion of it. Let's start with Moments. This

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: is an app from Facebook that was their photo sharing app.

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: So this was an app that would basically sync with

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: the camera roll on your iPhone or your Android and

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: put all the pictures kind of into a private area

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: of Facebook. But if you wanted to share those either

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: on Facebook or with friends, this app would make that

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: process easier. But the problem is apparently nobody used it

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: or nobody liked it. I remember for a moment talking

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: about Moments that I actually had. I think my mom

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: using this app and we decided to switch over at

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: a certain point to Google Photos. And I think that's

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: what a lot of people did, because as of February

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, Facebook is shutting down Moments. But they've done

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: something nice. They've made it very easy to export any

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: pictures you have saved in Moments. I don't think you're

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: gonna have any pictures in here. I checked and I

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: had exactly two. One was some sort of screenshot, the

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: other one was a picture of me and my mom,

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: So I was probably demoing this app to her, but

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: you can check. They made it very easy. All you

43
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: have to do is go to Facebook dot com, slash

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Moments Underscore app slash export, and of course I'll put

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: all the links that I talk about in the show notes.

46
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: But if you go there, it will show you how

47
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: many moments you have, and then it will help you

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: download those moments to a drive or however you want

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: to do it. But after the twenty fifth, that's it.

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: This is all gonna be gone. So it's probably a

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: good idea just to check this website and see if

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: you have any moments in there. You never know, if

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: you have a picture lingering in there that maybe you lost.

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: Maybe this would be the best case scenario. Maybe you

55
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: kind of the worst best case scenario. Let's say you

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: lost a whole bunch of pictures last year at some point, right,

57
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: but you forgot that you installed this app on your

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: phone and it was secretly or you know, in the background,

59
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: saving your moments, right, your pictures. Well, let's say you're like,

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I look in here, and all of

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: a sudden, next thing, you know, you have all these

62
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: pictures that you thought were missing inside this Moment's app.

63
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: I hope that happens for someone. But my recommendation at

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: this point when it comes to pictures, make sure they're

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: saved in two different places. That is on your phone,

66
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: also on a separate app like Google Photos, and then

67
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: another place either a backup hard drive or if you

68
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: just want to use everything for free, you can use

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: something like Amazon Prime. If you're a Prime member, they

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: have a photos app. You can back up your photos

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: to there as well. But that's what you need to

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: know about moments. It is going away. On February twenty fifth,

73
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich. Who is this? Hi? Rich?

74
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: This is Kashia calling you from johannes Best, South Africa.

75
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: How are you doing good? How are you Johannesburg, South Africa. Welcome?

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: What's on your minds from Johannesburg.

77
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: I want an iPhone Tennis Max that it has a

78
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: dual SAM functionality. One of them is called e SIM.

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Why would Apple maac a phone when there's no ETHIM

80
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: service available in the rest of the countries in America?

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: So your question is why do you have the eSIM

82
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: functionality if you can't use it? Basically, yeah, well this

83
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: is the thing, so eSIM, as you know, is well.

84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: The dual SIM functionality has been a function in a

85
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: lot of phones around the world and specifically in the

86
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: US that has not been a big feature, right, So

87
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Apple decided this time to actually put this feature inside

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: the iPhone, the new ones, the ten S, the ten

89
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: S Max, and also the ten Are. But they're doing

90
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: this kind of on a worldwide basis, so I think

91
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: what they're the idea is that a lot of the

92
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: other manufacturers do this. It's popular in certain countries like India,

93
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: not too popular in the US. But the reality is

94
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: Apple wants to have this feature in the phone so

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: that they can grow for the future.

96
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: This service to be available in South Africa, a andy zone.

97
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: I think so because here's the thing. In the US,

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: this has not been available, Like when they first launched

99
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: the phones, it was not available. It takes the carriers

100
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: to actually enable it on their systems and make it available.

101
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: So I think where you are, it will be available.

102
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: It just won't be overnight. You know, the carriers do

103
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: have to do some stuff on the back end. But

104
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: once you have it, it's kind of cool. We're already

105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: seeing in America they're really not advertising it that heavily,

106
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: like it's not it's not a thing that they're yet saying, like, hey,

107
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: you should activate a second line on your phone. But

108
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: I think that the future is a lot of competition

109
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: could be had from this service. Right, So if you

110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: have one line and you want to have a secondary

111
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: line for data or maybe for work or whatever. You're

112
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, whatever you want to do, they can make

113
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: it so it works for you know, for you to

114
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: activate this secondary line, it doesn't cost very much. So

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: I think right now we're just at the very early stages,

116
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: and I think that things will heat up Casher in

117
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: the future.

118
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: That's great, that makes sense, man, Like sext question is

119
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: how do you see I love this phone, by the way,

120
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: I love it. It's super fast, you know, I love

121
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: the three D touch stuff, and you know it's it's

122
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: good for business though.

123
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it. You said you have a second question.

124
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: The second thing is I want to know, Yeah, like,

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: how do you see future of Huawei in worldwide? Like

126
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: may pro. I have seen the phone. It's a beautiful

127
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: phone and it's a very nice songe. But we we're

128
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: hearing a lot of stories about Huawei that it has

129
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: a security concern nowadays, you know, to use this kind

130
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: of devices. How do you see this? Like do you

131
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: see a future in huawe?

132
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: I know this really this really troubles me because here's

133
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: a company that they're making that the make twenty pro

134
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: that people just love. I mean, people are loving the

135
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: camera on their high end devices, some of the best

136
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: devices when it comes to the reviewed devices. But like

137
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: you said, now here in the US, they've all but

138
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: dried up. You know, people are just not buying their devices.

139
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: You can't even buy them first party, you have to

140
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: buy them third party in the US. In the rest

141
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: of the world, clearly, Huawei definitely has some you know,

142
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: especially in China and in Asia, there's a lot of

143
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: people purchasing their devices. I don't know what the future

144
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: is because in a Maria they are definitely getting a

145
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: bad name when it comes to are they spying on you?

146
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Are they doing something bad with your device? And like

147
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: I said, everyone's kind of staying away from them at

148
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: this point. When it comes to the main carriers, and

149
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: it depends where you are in the world, Like in

150
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: the US, basically people buy their phones through their carriers.

151
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: Right in the rest of the world, people some day,

152
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, they mostly buy their phones unlocked or they

153
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: buy them, you know, through third party channels. But here

154
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: in the US it's all kind of linked to the carriers.

155
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: So if the carriers are not accepting Huawei, that means

156
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: it's going to be a problem for Huawei. So do

157
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: I think they're doing something bad? I would hope not,

158
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: but we just don't know. The evidence is not really

159
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: clear right now. I don't think in my experience with them,

160
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they've seen like really nice phones with a

161
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: lot of great features, so I want to like them.

162
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: But I just think that this point that we're in

163
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: right now is kind of very precarious grounds for them,

164
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: And I think we need competitors like them to shake

165
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: things up, because Samsung is great, but you need the

166
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: one Pluses of the world and the Huaweis of the

167
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: world to actually, you know, come up against Apple and

168
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: Samsung to innovate and to come out with these devices

169
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: that are less expensive with more features, and that keeps

170
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: everyone on their toes.

171
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: That's great. Yeah, Like, like I wanted to have Androiduviace

172
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: as well, and I couldn't find any better choice than

173
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: Huawa made twenty pro. But then I had the same

174
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: security concern but everyone was talking about it, you know. Yeah,

175
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: So because I also do my business, you know, I'm

176
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, so obviously I have a lot of things

177
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: to do, and I was concerned about my security and privacy,

178
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: you know, so I had to, you know, skip on

179
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: this so that Ithi's a very good device, but it's

180
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: sad that I can't have it, you.

181
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Know, I agree, and I think I think a lot

182
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: of people feel just the same way. Wow, look at

183
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: that our first call all the way from South Africa.

184
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing. What an amazing testament to uh to

185
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: technology that you can call me for free from all

186
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: the way anywhere in the world. Let's move on to Google. Now,

187
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: they've got this great thing online. It's a Google Phishing

188
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: I guess it's not a phishing website. It's a website

189
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: that helps you kind of take a quiz if you

190
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: can spot when you're being phished. And this is really neat.

191
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: I took this quiz and I will say I scored Okay,

192
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: I got one wrong out of I think it was

193
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: eight questions. But the website is phishingquiz dot with Google

194
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: dot com. Now, by the way, even that website doesn't

195
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: seem very good, right. If I was Google, I would

196
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: have put this on my main website so that people

197
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: didn't think that this website was fake, but it's fishingquiz

198
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: dot with Google dot com, And so you go to

199
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: this website and you take a little quiz and it

200
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: goes through the emails that you might get in your Gmail,

201
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: what they might look like, and you have to decide

202
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: if they're real or fake. And what's really neat about

203
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: this is you may be a pro and still get

204
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: caught up in this. And phishing is a real big

205
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: problem right now because that is how we're giving away

206
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: our credentials to websites. Right, you think, oh, my gosh,

207
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: how in the world are you, You know, how in

208
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: the world are you getting hacked these days? Right? Because

209
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: who logs into some random website. Well, the reality is

210
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: what's happening is that we're getting an email, and inside

211
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: that email, it says, hey, alert, your Facebook account was

212
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: just hacked. Please log in here and make sure everything's okay.

213
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: And you go, oh gosh, let me go change my password,

214
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: and you log in without thinking because the email looks

215
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: just like the email you might get from Facebook, and

216
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: next thing you know, the hackers are off and running

217
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: with all of your credentials. And I talk about this

218
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: all the time. The main way to protect yourself is

219
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: through what's called two factor authentication. And with two factor authentication,

220
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: you sign up with your phone number and once you

221
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: have your phone number in there, it will text you

222
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: a code that you must enter once you log into

223
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: a website before that website will allow that login to proceed.

224
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: And the idea behind this is that you will have

225
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: the code on your phone. If someone's logging into your

226
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: website from say, you know, Russia, uh, they won't have

227
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: the code because it's going to your phone. So they

228
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: may have your login and password, your username and password,

229
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: but they won't have that special code which really gets

230
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: you in. So take the Google Phishing quiz, definitely learn

231
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: from it and you will. You will. You will realize

232
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: just how tricky some of these emails are. And what

233
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: it really comes down to is looking at the URLs

234
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: of the links that you're clicking. And to be honest,

235
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: I would definitely not click any links that you get

236
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: it in an email. I mean, you just can't click

237
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: them unless it's like a YouTube link, you know, but

238
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: even that can be bad. So if it's asking you

239
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: to log in, Let's say you get an email from

240
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: your bank saying, hey, we suspect fraud on your account.

241
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Don't ever click the link inside that. Just go to

242
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: your bank's website, log in, and then that way you

243
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: can see exactly what's going on from a fresh perspective,

244
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: and not from a website that someone just happens to

245
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: be sending you. So good information there.

246
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: Rich, it's Greg from the av.

247
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: Hey Greg, longtime, no talk.

248
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: Yes, Happy New Years. A real quick question. I have

249
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: some old DHS movies. They're not available on d D

250
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: I search everywhere.

251
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 4: Is there a.

252
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: Copyright law as far excuse me, as far as like

253
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 3: maybe taking it to Costco or will they not do it.

254
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: Because they're not going to do it. They will do it. No,

255
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: you could do it. They're not gonna do it. They're

256
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, they use a company called Yes Video, and

257
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna anything that's a commercial tape.

258
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: They're just not going to touch. So, but you can

259
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: do it as long as now here's the thing. When

260
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: you run this thing through your computer, it may scramble.

261
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. It depends on the tape. It may not,

262
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, it may it may have copyright protection built in.

263
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be something you're have to figure out.

264
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: But I would try it. I mean, you can see

265
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: if you want to save these things, you know, just

266
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: get the I've got an article up if you if

267
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: you look at the if you look at my website

268
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: and just search vhy, you should see the article that

269
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: I did on recently on converting stuff. And I've been

270
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: doing it for old home movies and it's pretty simple.

271
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: But the do you have a macro PC? I forget? Okay,

272
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: So the thing to get is the rock SiO Easy

273
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: Easy VHS to DVD I think it's called. And you know,

274
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: you'll just need to connect your VCR to your computer

275
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: and you can do it all. It all happens in

276
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: real time though, so it's gonna take a while for sure.

277
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, all right, well I will try that

278
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: and I will look on your website. Thank you so much.

279
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: All right, Greg, have a great day. Amazon this week

280
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: announced a new delivery system. So this is Amazon Scout.

281
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: It looks like a little autonomous robot and it is

282
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: a delivery robot, so it's real. It's happening. They're using

283
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: it in a neighborhood north of Seattle, probably butchering the name,

284
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: but it's called Snowhomish County, Washington, and this little electric

285
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: delivery robot is very small. It looks like a wagon

286
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: on wheels. It holds I don't know, it looks like

287
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: it holds one package. And when it comes up to

288
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: your house, I'm guessing it texts you or it somehow

289
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: alerts you, and then the top pops open when you

290
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: walk out, and you pick out your package and you

291
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: go back on your merry way. There's a lot of

292
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: questions here, So if you're not home, what does it

293
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: do if you're you know, how does it know you're

294
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: the person to pick up the package? How does it

295
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: know you're not just some random stranger that's coming to

296
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: pick up every package. But it looks interesting. They're gonna

297
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: be testing it in this county in northern Washington, and

298
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: if it works, we may see these devices on sidewalks

299
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: across America. But the thing is all these companies are

300
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: really trying to trying to make it cheaper to deliver packages.

301
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look around in these neighborhoods, I've

302
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: got people riding bikes in my neighborhood delivering all these

303
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: Amazon packages. I mean, there's so many that they're delivering

304
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: that it's gotten kind of crazy and just all these

305
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: trucks they've got so Amazon, you know, obviously we know

306
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: they're experimenting with the drones. Now they're trying out this

307
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: little autonomous delivery robot. We'll see how it works in

308
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: real life though, because it looks all nice. They shot

309
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: the little promo video on the Universal back lot, you know,

310
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: unlike that Wisteria Lane road. But we'll see how this

311
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: works in the real neighborhood. So that's what I'm curious

312
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: to see, with real people and real you know, dogs

313
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: running around and sidewalks that are all messed up. So

314
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm curious. But if Amazon can deliver me stuff even faster,

315
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: which they're doing a pretty good job right now, I'm

316
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: all for it. Now let's take another call. We've got Arturo.

317
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: What's up.

318
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 4: I'm coming on regards to these discreet cloud services like

319
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: Microsoft Azure. I think IBM's flavor is blue. I think

320
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: it's what it's called where they help you to develop

321
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: a software but kind of worried about after perhaps a

322
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: certain point, then they start charging. Then you're at hostage,

323
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: Like I get the impression like a hostage of Wow,

324
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: I'm I have all this data in their cloud and

325
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 4: that software, which I very much enjoyed, but I'm at

326
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 4: a hostage at their prices.

327
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: Right. That's kind of the way of the world right

328
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: now with everything. I mean, this is you know, so

329
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing. So they're making it easy for you

330
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: to develop on their platform, right, and that's kind of

331
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: the beauty of it. Like you have this amazing opportunity

332
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: where you can choose from all these different aws or

333
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: like you said, Zuer, you know, any of these different

334
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: platforms that you like, you can start, you know, doing

335
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: whatever you want, building a business inside those. But what

336
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: happens is, just like you said, the bigger you get,

337
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the more you're sort of locked in. And I kind

338
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: of found this out, you know, in various ways. But

339
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the consumer level, something

340
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: like Google Photos, people start storing their pictures in there

341
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: for free. After a while, you're like, oh wait a second,

342
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: Now that I've got twenty thousand, it's really tough to

343
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: take those somewhere else, right. They call it locking. Same

344
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: things happening here, same thing happens with me. With a

345
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: lot of these services, they become really easy something as

346
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: simple as like Mailchimp, you know, a service that lets

347
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: you manage your mailing address right your mailing list. Well,

348
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you've got eight ten thousand emails

349
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: in there. You built up, you know, your templates and

350
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: your emails that you send out regularly, and you've got

351
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: all your analytics. And what you know is five dollars

352
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: less a month going to make you switch to a

353
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: different service. So this is kind of the way of

354
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: the world, I think, And I don't know which, which

355
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: one are you trying to build in and is that

356
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: your main concern?

357
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: Well, I'm with the Los Angeles Pool League and we

358
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 4: are looking to possibly have a have a cloud where

359
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 4: we can have the stats since things of that nature,

360
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 4: and also these consolidated services. And if it's a nonprofit,

361
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 4: I it's not profit organization, it's there. I presume these

362
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 4: kind of questions are best with to ask those respected merchants,

363
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 4: But just wondering if that may may also help in

364
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 4: regards to the Los Angeles Fool League or any any

365
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: non profit organization.

366
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what they're what they're you know

367
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: set up is for nonprofits versus you know, if you're

368
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: a for profit business, they may you know, have a

369
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: separate tier or something like that. But I think you

370
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 1: just have to weigh kind of like the the growth,

371
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: like how long are you going to be with this?

372
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: How much is it going to cost? Is it in

373
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: the budget? And once you get to a level where

374
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: it's starting to cost, you know, it does this grow exponentially?

375
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: You know, Let's say you start using this and it's

376
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of people are on board, but

377
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it gets really popular whatever

378
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: you're building and it's being used by a lot of people.

379
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: Is that gonna you know, basically, is it gonna break

380
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: your your budget? You know, if you have a budget

381
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: at all. So I think those are the questions you

382
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: kind of have to ask when you're searching these systems.

383
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: But look in this day and age, it's all the same.

384
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: We're getting we're getting faster access to more tools quickly,

385
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: but the reality is there's always down the road, kind

386
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: of that downside of the more you lean on something,

387
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: the more you're kind of in it, and it's tough

388
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: to get out. And I think, you know, it's just

389
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: kind of the way we're seeing with all technology. So

390
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: good question, but I think a lot of it Arturo

391
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: comes down to just researching and seeing which of these

392
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: services works the best and which one you think you

393
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: can comfortably grow with. So yeah, people commenting inside the

394
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: podcast on the live stream, Yes, we are the product.

395
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: In fact, Facebook came out and said that the reason

396
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: why they exist is because we hand over our data

397
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: for free and they're able to sell ads across our data.

398
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: And so that's the reality all this stuff online these days.

399
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: The stuff that you get for free, you're getting it

400
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: for free because the business is making money off of

401
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: you in different ways. So if you're getting Google Photos

402
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: for free, there's a reason why. Clearly they're using that

403
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: to train their machine learning photos whatever. I don't know

404
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: what they're doing with it, but you know, as long

405
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: as it's private and your photos are not being shared publicly,

406
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: hopefully that's that's enough for you to say, Okay, I

407
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: guess on the backside, if they're using my photos for

408
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: machine learning, I don't know if they're doing that. I'm

409
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: assuming they are, but you know, nothing is truly free.

410
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: So Apple is releasing new beta of iOS twelve point two,

411
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: and apparently, according to nine to five Mac, the new

412
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: AirPods will allow you to use the hot phrase. I

413
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: don't even want to say it here because I know

414
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna activate everyone. Hey bleary with the device in

415
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: your ear, so the air pods themselves will do the recognition.

416
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: So I've noticed when I'm out running, if I've got

417
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: my phone in my pocket, I can say the hot

418
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: word and it will actually respond, right because if I

419
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: say it loud enough, my phone will hear it. But

420
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: this will actually be where your AirPods will be able

421
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: to use this new code word or hot word, whatever

422
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: you want to call it. And we saw this demode

423
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: at Apple, like I think it was WWDC or was

424
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: it for the new phone. I think it was for

425
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: the new iPhone, the new ten or ten R whatever

426
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: phone it was. But they showed this girl running. They

427
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: always show like a little kind of video before the event,

428
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, like a fun little video that Apple produces,

429
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: and it showed a girl running and she had the

430
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: AirPods in and she just said to them something you know,

431
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: the code word, and it activated and everyone was like,

432
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: wait a second, that's not a feature, And clearly it

433
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: will be a feature in the new AirPods, so we

434
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: are very close. They got an email from someone saying, hey,

435
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: do I wait for the new AirPods because it's been

436
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: a while. AirPods have been around for a while now.

437
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: They're fantastic. One hundred and sixty dollars. They're not cheap.

438
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: But what I like about them is they work very

439
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: nicely across your iPhone, across your iPad, across the you know,

440
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: any ecosystem of Apple products. But they also work really

441
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: nicely with Android products as well. You're not gonna get

442
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: as many features as you would on the Apple products,

443
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: but they work pretty nicely. So I recommend that. My

444
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: wife and I went after I got them, I said,

445
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: you have to get these, and we went to the

446
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: Apple store. We picked them out. She loved them. She

447
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: we got to the checkout stand and when when my

448
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: wife saw the thing, it was one hundred and seventy

449
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: five dollars with tax. He was like, wait, what, you

450
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: didn't tell me they cost this much? And I said,

451
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna love them, and sure enough, I don't know,

452
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: it's been a year, six months, whatever it's been, she

453
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: absolutely loves them. Wears them at the gym, wears them

454
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: basically at the gym, but just totally loves them. So

455
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: I think you'll really like them, but new version coming out,

456
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: So if you're thinking of buying them, maybe just think

457
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: about you know, if you can hold off, you know,

458
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: maybe another three months. I'm thinking March is when they'll

459
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: launch the new ones. This story happened this week and

460
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: the two stories actually two families said their Nest cams

461
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: were hacked. And what happened was one story was it

462
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: was the northern California family. They said that they all

463
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden heard through their nestcam reports of missiles

464
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: being launched from North Korea to the US and to

465
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: take cover. And so this family was clearly upset and

466
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: they ran out of the house. They took their dog

467
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 1: and their kid, you know, whatever they had, they took everything.

468
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: They just went in their car and high tailed it out.

469
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: Then the other family was in northern I think it

470
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: was Washington State, and they were in Washington State and

471
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: the same thing. They all of a sudden heard sounds

472
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: coming from their camera, and you know, not the missile launch.

473
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: But they said that the people actually talked to them

474
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: through their camera and they said, oh, nice laptop. They

475
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: saw the mom using her laptop, and the mom just

476
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: freaked out and pulled the camera off. The wall or

477
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: whatever pulled the cord out. But how does this happen?

478
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, we've got a lot of nestcams out there,

479
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of security cameras out there in general.

480
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: But again, this is not so as I understand it,

481
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: This hack was not at the system level of Nest, right,

482
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: so nests did not actually kind of Nest did not

483
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: get hacked. Usually what happens is the person's credentials are stolen.

484
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna say I don't know what happened

485
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: with both these cases. It seems like their credentials were stolen.

486
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: You know, they had an easy username, easy password, and

487
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: someone could have been a friend, could have been someone

488
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: who just got a hold of it. It could have

489
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: been a hacker just guessing. And this is what happened.

490
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: So the advice I'm leaving you with is you have

491
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: to again turn on two factor authentication and if you

492
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: go inside the Nest app, Okay, let me bring it

493
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: up here and I'll tell you exactly how to do this.

494
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: So if you go into Nest, you go into settings,

495
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: it's a little gear icon in the upper right hand corner. Okay,

496
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: and you got to turn this on today then go

497
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: into account and then go into manage account and then

498
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: it says account security, and if it says password, you

499
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: need to change it. So it says two step verification.

500
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: So you tap there and you basically turn on the

501
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: little flip switch that says two factor and now you

502
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: add in your phone number. It will text you a

503
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: confirmation code, and then every time you log in to

504
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: your to your Nest app, it will ast for that

505
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: confirmation code. This is essential. These things are in your house,

506
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: so you want to make sure that you, you know, have

507
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: these things protected as much as possible. Philip Brooks here

508
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: says iPhone ten s Max Bluetooth and car doesn't always

509
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: pair automatically like my iPhone seven plus did. Is there

510
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: any fix for this, Philip? I notice in my car,

511
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: same thing kind of happens. Sometimes it connects very quickly

512
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: and automatically. Sometimes it doesn't. So I'm thinking it might

513
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: be something with the last version of iOS. So they

514
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: just came out with the new one twelve point one

515
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: point three, so maybe that fixed it. But I would

516
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: say the only other thing you can do to make

517
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: sure that this is working properly is two things. Number One,

518
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: go into your car and I would delete all the

519
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: old phone phones that are paired to your car. So

520
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: if you have some old phones, like you said, you

521
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: upgraded a seven plus to a iPhone ten ten max

522
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: tennis maximum guessing, so I would go in and delete

523
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: your old phones from your car's bluetooth because those could

524
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: be messing it up. The secondary thing I would do

525
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: is you can reset all of your network settings on

526
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: your phone. So if you go into general and then

527
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: you go into reset and then it says reset network settings,

528
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: And once you do that, it will clear all of

529
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: your network settings, so your carrier settings, your Wi Fi settings,

530
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: and your Bluetooth settings will all be taken back to factory,

531
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: which means you will have to repair your phone to

532
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: your car, but it may fix that. It may fix

533
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: that issue. So that's what I usually do. But you know,

534
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: start with just the car and delete your old phones

535
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: that are paired and then see if that helps. And

536
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: then if that doesn't help, I would reset your network settings,

537
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: delete your phone off your car, you know, the current one,

538
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: and then repair everything and see if that works. It

539
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: should work. Usually the are pretty good these days, and

540
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: the phones about just kind of It's funny because my

541
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: brother and I. My brother was out from New Jersey,

542
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: and we were talking about the differences between Android and iOS.

543
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: And he had this nice, fancy rental car. He got

544
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: a Mercedes. By the way, he rented a Toyota Corolla,

545
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: and when he got to the rental car place, they

546
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: gave him a Mercedes. And he's like, ah, are you

547
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: sure this is my car? And they're like, yeah, this

548
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: is your car. And so he loved it. He had

549
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: this great Mercedes. And we were talking about how when

550
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: he with his OnePlus, it was not automatically connecting to

551
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: the Bluetooth, like he would have to start his music

552
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: every time he got into the car and connect the phone.

553
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: And I said, that can't be. There's no way. So,

554
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: of course, being the nerds we are, I took out

555
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: my iPhone and I said, all right, well let me

556
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: show you the iPhone. So let's pair that and see

557
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: what happens. So we paired it, and sure enough, immediately

558
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: when we turned on the car, the music would start

559
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: and it would be playing off my phone. And so

560
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: I said, all right, well something you know clearly this

561
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,239
Speaker 1: and Android versus iOS thing. And then we realized there

562
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: was a setting in the car where you can have

563
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: two things linked to it. You can have two phones.

564
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: And so he was setting up his phone as a

565
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: secondary device, and I said, well, let's try setting it

566
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: up as the primary device. And sure enough we did,

567
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: and next thing you knew, the android played the music

568
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: as students he got into the car. So these cars,

569
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: especially the newer ones, they have kind of an auto trigger.

570
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: So when you get into the car, your car is

571
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: telling the Bluetooth on your phone, hey, we see that

572
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: you connected. Now let me give that message to the

573
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: phone to play music. And my old car did not

574
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: do this, which drove me nuts because that's the only

575
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: feature I wanted. I just wanted my phone to play

576
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: music or a podcast as soon as I got into

577
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: the car, without all this like you know, moving around

578
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: and pressing buttons and stuff. And so my new car

579
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: does it, thankfully, and I really it's one of those

580
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: like small features that really comes into hand. It really

581
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: comes in handy. This was one of the most popular

582
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: stories of twenty eighteen that I did at KTLA. It's

583
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: about a new wireless carrier named Visible and this is

584
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: Verizon's on the limited carrier's kind of a secret I

585
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: call it this secret Plan. Because Verizon has this carrier

586
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: it's called Visible. They own them, but they sell a plan.

587
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: They only have one plan. It's forty bucks for unlimited everything,

588
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: so you get unlimited data, you get unlimited voice. Basically

589
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: it's unlimited. The only caveat is that the speed of

590
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: your data is limited to just five megabits per second.

591
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: So yes, Verizon network is super fast. It can handle

592
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: much faster, but to be honest, most people don't need

593
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: more than that. I do because I'm uploading, downloading, live streaming,

594
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. But for the average person that's

595
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: just checking their mail, you know, posting stuff to social media,

596
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: all that stuff, you really don't need this super fast

597
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: connection that Verizon offers. So if you want to save

598
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: a bundle of money every month, definitely check out Visible.

599
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: And Visible is kind of secretive. There's not much advertising

600
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: about it. It's kind of word of mouth right now.

601
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 1: But let me tell you what's new. So when I

602
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: did the story, the only thing that Visible had was

603
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: support for the iPhone. But now they did announce that

604
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: they are supporting two Samsung Android devices. So if you

605
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: have a Galaxy S nine or an S nine plus,

606
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: you can now consider Visible and so for forty dollars

607
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: a month, you literally get it all. You get unlimited everything.

608
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: There's no throttling except like I said, your speed is

609
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: limited to five, and they do do that like it's

610
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: not like it's not a threat, like that's the way

611
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: your speed is limited. I did test this, but it worked.

612
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: We tried Netflix, we tried YouTube, we tried social media

613
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: Instagram stories, we tried phone calls. Everything was great, and

614
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: you're getting the full Verizon network, which is really cool.

615
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 1: So if you're looking to save some money on your

616
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: wireless bill, this really only works if you have one line,

617
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: maybe two. I think that if you get into the

618
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: two lines with Verizon, it's a little it might be

619
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: cheaper to actually get the full plan from them. But

620
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: if you're just one line and you want to save,

621
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, almost fifty dollars a month, I think that

622
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: this is something to consider. I would love to have it.

623
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: I keep wanting to switch my wife over. I keep

624
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: kind of forgetting or putting it off because you do

625
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: not get international. So not that we're going international very often,

626
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: but the one time we do, my wife will be like, oh,

627
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: I can't use my phone because I don't have the

628
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: international plan. So I'm basically paying fifty dollars a month

629
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: extra on my wife's line so that she can one

630
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: day travel outside the country and use her phone. So, yeah,

631
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound very smart. I'm gonna have to switch over.

632
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: Uber Rewards is now rolling out. This is Uber's new

633
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: rewards program. Everyone has one these days. I just got

634
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: it on my phone here in Los Angeles, but it's

635
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: rolling out to various cities around the world. And Uber

636
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Rewards is your basic frequent flyer program, whatever type of

637
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: rewards program. It's kind of inspired by the airlines, right.

638
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: The more you take a ride with Uber, the better

639
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 1: perks you get. I personally don't think the perks are

640
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: that great, but still I love my loyalty programs. I'm obsessed.

641
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: So I will play the game, and let me tell

642
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: you about the different level You've got blue, Gold, Platinum,

643
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: and Diamond. And so immediately when I joined, I immediately

644
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: leveled up to gold because they're looking at your last

645
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: six months of spending, and for gold you have to

646
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: spend or you have to get five hundred points, and

647
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: so five hundred points. It's kind of, of course, like

648
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: all good frequent flyer programs. You can't just go points

649
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: to dollars, right, so they make you do a lot

650
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: of math in your head. But basically to get points,

651
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: let me see here, one point for every dollar spent

652
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: on uberpool and Uber eats, two points for every dollar

653
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: spent on Uber X, and three points for every dollar

654
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: spent on Premium. So let's say you only took Uber X,

655
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: you'd have to spend two hundred and fifty dollars to

656
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: get gold. Let's say you only took Premium, it'd be five.

657
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, you'd almost spend like maybe one hundred and

658
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: seventy five dollars to get to get Uber gold. Now,

659
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: Platinum is twenty five hundred points. Diamond is seventy five

660
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: hundred points. So if you look at diamond and you're

661
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: only taking Uber X, you need to spend on almost

662
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars on Uber in six months to get

663
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: to that Diamond level. And yeah, the points they kind

664
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: of reset every six months. So what do you get

665
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: for gold? Not much? Five dollars rewards cash that's what

666
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: you get every time you spend five hundred points, flexible

667
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: cancelations for the gold and priority support. Big deal Platinum,

668
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: you actually get some pretty good things. The best I

669
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: see here is that you get price protection between your

670
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: two favorite places. So let's say you actually use Uber

671
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: to commute to work. You can say I want price

672
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: protection on that route, and every time you take that

673
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: route you will pay the same price, which is kind

674
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: of cool. Or I guess maybe not the same exact price,

675
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: but you won't pay surge pricing. So I like that. Now,

676
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: if you're Diamond, this is the access, this is the

677
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: level I want. You get priority pickup at airports, complimentary upgrades.

678
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: So that's really cool. Let's say you order an Uber

679
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: X and you get an Uber Black, or you get

680
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: an Uber Select whatever. But that happens to me sometimes.

681
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: It used to happen a lot more. It doesn't happen

682
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: as often any more. But if you're Diamond, it would

683
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: happen a lot and then you get special access to

684
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: highly rated drivers. Now here's where I have a problem

685
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: with Uber because when I first went to the you know,

686
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: the first party I ever went to where Uber picked

687
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: me up, and it was kind of part of the

688
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: deal of the party. I remember the Uber folks telling

689
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: me that part of the magic of Uber was that

690
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: they were matching the best rated passengers with the best

691
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: rated drivers, and that makes a lot of sense, right,

692
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: if you're a great passenger, you deserve the best driver. Well,

693
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: apparently they've stopped doing that for the average person, and

694
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: I've definitely noticed that Uber because the rides I've been

695
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: in have been very hit or miss, and I'm a

696
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: big Uber taker. I'm almost exclusively taking Uber on the

697
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: weekends because I don't like to drive so and I've

698
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: even taken it to work super early in the morning.

699
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: It's just amazing how the fabric of our world has

700
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: changed thanks to Uber. Right, you can go anywhere, and

701
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: I've taken this in cities around the world and it's

702
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: just as easy as it is here. The only time

703
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: I did run into a problem was in China because

704
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: I was in a super duper crowded square and they

705
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: were trying to pick me up and the guy kept

706
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: calling me speaking Chinese and I could not answer him.

707
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to say, like where I was

708
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: or whatever, and it was too crowded where GPS just

709
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: would not work. So I did have to take a

710
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: standard cab at that point because I just you know,

711
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: hailed one and I took it back to to my

712
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: convention center that I was going to. But otherwise Uber

713
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: has been great. I do think that it is very

714
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: hit or miss, which is understandable because you know you're

715
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: talking Uber. They have a lot of drivers out there,

716
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people just trying it out, just doing

717
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: it and then stopping. I like when I get the

718
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: guys that are the what do I call lifetime drivers

719
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: right that they're they're basically making a living off of it,

720
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: and they're incentivized to have a nice ride, so they

721
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: keep their car nice, they keep the little mints in

722
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: the back, They do a lot of nice stuff to

723
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: keep everyone happy. Those are the guys I like in gals.

724
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: I've had a couple of female drivers, but mainly it's men.

725
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: But there you have it. So Uber rewards beyond the lookout.

726
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: When you open up your app, Netflix is now letting

727
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: you share your favorite shows to Instagram Stories. And this

728
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: is just a small thing, but I really like it.

729
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: So Netflix now when you press that little share button

730
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: on the iOS app will bring up a special share menu,

731
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: not your standard share menu on the iPhone, but you

732
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: can now share it to Instagram Stories. And what's cool

733
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: about this is you can share let's say you're watching

734
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: a show on Netflix, and I would mention a show,

735
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: but to be honest, I don't watch anything on Netflix,

736
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: so I can't even can't even mention a show that

737
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: I know of on Netflix right now. But if you

738
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: were watching a show that you fell in love with,

739
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: you could share that using the Share menu to your

740
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: Instagram Stories. And if you've used this functionality on Spotify,

741
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: it's very similar. So what they do is they make

742
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: a beautiful piece of artwork that's shared to your stories

743
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 1: that now tells your friends that you're watching this show,

744
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: and it's really cool. It's a small feature, but it's

745
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: kind of fun. And Netflix knows clearly. Netflix has the

746
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: word of mouth down. But I think that if you

747
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: find a little little nugget on there that you really like,

748
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: like a documentary or whatever. I mean, even if you

749
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: just want to share that you're watching a show, this

750
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: is the new way to do it because Instagram Stories

751
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: is where it's at. So try it out. I don't

752
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: have it on MyPhone just yet, my producer does. But

753
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: all you have to do is open up the Netflix

754
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: app on iPhone. Right now, they're saying they're gonna try

755
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: to do it on Android, but right now it's just iPhone.

756
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: You press some you know info on the show or

757
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, just get to the show page that you're on,

758
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: and then you'll see my list rate and share. You

759
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: tap share and when you have it, you'll see a

760
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: new share screen that will say Instagram Stories. If you

761
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: see the standard iPhone share screen, you don't have it yet.

762
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: So I don't have it yet. I can't wait to

763
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: have this. And let's see, do I recognize The first

764
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: thing that comes up on mine is the Ted Bundy

765
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: tapes Friends from college Versace Fire. Oh, that's what I

766
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: gotta watch. Everyone's talking about this fire Festival documentary. I

767
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: gotta watch that on Netflix. So I'll carve out some

768
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: time one of these days. And finally, let's end with

769
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: this themacindex dot Com. So I travel around the world

770
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: for my job, and I'm always wondering, like, is it

771
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: a better deal to buy an iPhone in Japan or

772
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: a MacBook in you know, Utah? Oh wait, that's no,

773
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: that's still here, just kidding, or like a MacBook in Italy. Right,

774
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: So this is a new website called the macindex dot Com.

775
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've ever heard of something

776
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: called the Big Mac Index, but it's kind of like

777
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: the price of a big Mac around the world, so

778
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: you can get an idea of different economies. But this guy,

779
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: this developer, I'm not even gonna try to say his name,

780
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: Juafique rod Zuwan, Malaysian software developer. It basically just shows

781
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: you how much the Apple products cost around the world.

782
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: So if you're interested in an iPhone, it'll say, here's

783
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: how much it is in these cities. And if let

784
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: me just bring up the website real quick, so the

785
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: Mac index IDx dot com. And so if I look

786
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: at the main website, you can see kind of the

787
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: different products that he has. And so for the iPhone tens,

788
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: the cheapest place to buy is Japan for fifteen hundred

789
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: and twenty one American dollars. And then if you go

790
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: down all the way to the end of his list,

791
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: Brazil is the most expensive at twenty six hundred and

792
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: ninety one dollars. So twenty six ninety one. Wow, that's wild.

793
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: So don't buy an iPhone in Brazil if you can

794
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: help it. So, now if I was going to Norway,

795
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: I could get the iPhone TENNS Max smart battery case

796
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 1: for the cheapest. It's one hundred and twenty two dollars

797
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: in Norway and here in the US it is one

798
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: hundred and forty one dollars, So I'd have to fly

799
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: to Norway to save twenty bucks, which I'm not gonna do.

800
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: But hey, I'm just throwing it out there. But this

801
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: is a great little website. Just it's just kind of

802
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: fun to see and if you happen to be in

803
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: a different country, like it looks like Japan is rocking

804
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot of these lists. In Japan. AirPods are the

805
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: cheapest at one hundred and fifty five bucks in the US,

806
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: like I said, with tax air pods, yep, I was right.

807
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: See I said earlier, I said one seventy five, one

808
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four dollars with tax, So they're saying

809
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: an average of ten percent sales tax. So I think

810
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: that's yeah, what I about paid for those. But anyway,

811
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: kind of a fun little website to check out, the

812
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: macindex dot com since you guys are listening to the

813
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: podcast and you'd like to hear my little stories about

814
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: life as a news reporter. So this was kind of

815
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: fun this week. You know, I wrote the book one

816
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: hundred and one handy tech tips for the iPhone, and

817
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: it's been great, It's been fantastic. I thank you all

818
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: for purchasing it. I thank you all for actually I

819
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: thank you all for actually reviewing it now on Amazon.

820
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: You guys are definitely leaving some great reviews, so thank

821
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: you for that. But here's the thing. So a lot

822
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: of people in the past they asked me to like

823
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: speak at these things, and you know, sometimes I say yes,

824
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: sometimes they say no. But the other day, you know,

825
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: I got a question or an email from the Rotary

826
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: Club over in Camera Rio, California, and they're like, hey,

827
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: would you mind speaking to our little club? And I

828
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: was like, I know, it's only going to be like

829
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: twenty people or thirty people or maybe fifty. And yeah,

830
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: when I got there, it was a small group of people.

831
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: But I will tell you I had so much fun

832
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: talking to these people and talking about tips from my

833
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: book and just my career and all this stuff. And

834
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: then at the end, now that I have a book,

835
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,439
Speaker 1: I can actually sell it, and I got to say

836
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. Of course I want

837
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: to give my book away, right, but it took a

838
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: lot of work and to print a physical book. You

839
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: can't just give it away because I'd be losing money.

840
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: But it was really fun, So I guess my point

841
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: is it was great, and I love the fact that

842
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: I now have something to really talk about, which is

843
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: the book and some of the tips from the book

844
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: and showing people the tips. But also if you want

845
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: me to speak at your little event, go ahead and

846
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: call me, email me hello at richontech dot tv and

847
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: we can talk about getting me there. Obviously, I think

848
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: at minimum, maybe forty people's probably a good amount. I

849
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: think they had about forty at the at the event

850
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: for the Rotary Club. But it's great. I'll do other

851
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: rotary clubs. And it was just it was very intimate.

852
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: You know, I've spoken at like large corporate events. There's

853
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: no back and forth, right, You're just speaking to a

854
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: group of maybe five thousand people. That was probably the

855
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: biggest I ever did. But you know, if you're talking smaller,

856
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of fun because you get to do that

857
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: back and forth. And I've done a lot of panels,

858
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: but you know, it's not always about me, it's about

859
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: just kind of monitoring the panel. So you know, this

860
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: was definitely a new experience. It was kind of fun,

861
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: and I'll do it again. So hello at richon tech

862
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: dot TV. All right, so I've got some of the

863
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: folks on the live stream and they're asking me questions. Here.

864
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: Let's see here, we've got Tracy Cortes saying, next doorbell

865
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: versus Ring? Do you think Ring will ever pair with

866
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: the Google Hub? Okay, Nest versus Nest versus Ring. So

867
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: I like the Ring doorbell. They're kind of the market leader.

868
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: I still like them for the doorbell because they're so simple.

869
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: You can literally connect a ring to any doorbell and door.

870
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to wire if you don't want you.

871
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: They have obviously different levels. I like that I've got

872
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: the Ring at home. I do like the Nest because,

873
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: like you said, the integration with Google. But I still

874
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: think Nest is not as established as Ring when it

875
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: comes to their doorbell. So I still think that the

876
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: Ring is kind of like the gold standard of doorbells.

877
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: That's their entire business, right, I mean, the number one

878
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: part of their business. So if you have to think

879
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: about they're working on their doorbell and making it better

880
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: every single day of their life. I think Nest is

881
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: probably doing similar, you know, but they're a much bigger company.

882
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: They've got thermostats, they've got other smart home devices, they've

883
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: got cameras. So the doorbell, I'm sure they have a

884
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: great team working on it. But Ring, it's like that's

885
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: their bread and butter. So I say stick with Ring

886
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: for now. Yeah, I wish I had the Google Hub integration,

887
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: but I think it works pretty darn well for what

888
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: it is. Let's see, do you have to be paid? Oh,

889
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: Toby says, you have to be paid in order to

890
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: go to an event and speak. It's different every time.

891
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: I mean, if here's my rule of thumb. My rule

892
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: of thumb is if it's a corporate event or someone's

893
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: making money on the event, you know, I would like

894
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: a stipend to be there, right because my time is

895
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: not free. But if it's something like the Rotary Club, No,

896
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: they didn't pay me, and I was very happy. Now

897
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: I did sell my books, which was kind of fun,

898
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: and I never you know, I never did that before.

899
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: Usually I speak, you know, But here's the thing everything

900
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: is is I take it case by case basis right.

901
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: I've spoken at huge events where they've flown me out

902
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: to Europe and I've spoken and I've spoken at little,

903
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: tiny schools, and you know, I don't mind. I love

904
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: everything that comes my way. I will take a look

905
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: at see what it's all about, and make a decision

906
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: based on what I think. Sometimes I don't want to

907
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: do it, sometimes I do. Sometimes I really want to

908
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: do it, And so I don't even care if you

909
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: pay me. You know nothing, but you know, it all depends.

910
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 1: Vicky said, someone told me my Internet is too slow

911
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: for ring doorbell? Is that correct? Your Internet is probably

912
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: not too slow, but your Wi Fi is probably really bad.

913
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: So unless you have DSL or dial up internet, that's

914
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 1: the only thing that's too slow for ring. But Ring

915
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: can work on a pretty slow connection by today's standards.

916
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: I mean, Internet connections are pretty good most of the time.

917
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: The problem that people have with their ring doorbell or

918
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,719
