I just had four peanut butter chocolate oreos 50 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: in the newsroom. 51 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: Like four donuts. 52 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: No, I wish. I'm really trying to stay off the 53 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: donuts at this point. 54 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: But anyway, so she you know, so like I try, 55 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: but she actually delivers, like she really does eat healthy 56 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: like and the stuff that she eats, it's like I 57 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: can't imagine, Like to me, like if I eat a 58 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: healthy lunch, I immediately go to the cabinet and get 59 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: like a whole bag of M and ms and eCos. Yes, 60 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: like I punctuate all healthy meals with like something really bad. 61 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm the same, and it's just weird. 62 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: I don't know why I have. 63 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: To do that oat meal. Then I'm like, okay, you 64 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: can have hot cheetos now, right. 65 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: So anyway, uh so we got lots of questions. You 66 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: have some queued up for the show? 67 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. I have a lot. 68 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: Actually, well we'll get to those in a moment. But 69 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: first let's start with this a new rumor about the 70 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: next iPhone. Maybe it might be completely wireless. So first 71 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: they remove the headphone jack everyone's talking about. Maybe they're 72 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: going to take the lightning off and put on a USBC. 73 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: But ming chi quo, this noted analyst that always seems 74 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: to get it right, says that he thinks the highest 75 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: end model in the twenty twenty one lineup is going 76 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: to be completely wireless. Now, by the way, that's not 77 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: next year, that's the next year, So we do have 78 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: a year to like. 79 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 2: Get used to this idea. 80 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: But if you look at Apple's past, and you look 81 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: at the computer I'm on right now, there's no CD drive, 82 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: there's no DVD drive, there's there is a headphone jack, 83 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: there's no micro SD cards. 84 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: Saw. 85 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: All these things that we used to have on laptops 86 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: are all gone. Yeah, And every time they went away, 87 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: people cried. And now I've been using this like this 88 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: for years and I still cry when I. 89 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: Do, I still cry. 90 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: I do cry because it is annoying. 91 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 4: Sometimes they just simplify. 92 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: They simplify, but to a level that like we're not 93 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: like the average person's not ready yet. 94 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. 95 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: I mean I missed the headphone jack. 96 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: Sometimes there are just times when you want to plug 97 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: in a headphone. Yeah. 98 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: So the twenty twenty lineup, according to this prediction, is 99 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: a four point seven inch LCD screen, which will be 100 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: the kind of part of the iPhone se like that 101 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: small one a five point four inch OLED screen. Oh, 102 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: they're going all O lead now except for that tiny one, 103 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: a six point one inch O lead, another six point 104 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 1: one inch O lead, and then another six point seven 105 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: inch O lead, which is kind of like the flagship 106 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: with triple cameras. So it looks like kind of the 107 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: main thing is for next year. It doesn't look like 108 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: there's gonna be that much difference, except for the fact 109 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: that they might use a USB. 110 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 2: C on the bottom of the phone. 111 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: But otherwise it seems like the triple camera is kind 112 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: of gonna stay. Triple camera is gonna move to like, 113 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, the top of the end phones, or stay 114 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: on the top of end phones, but there's gonna be 115 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: more on the bottom end, so it seems like the 116 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: lower end there'll be more to choose from. Okay, and 117 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: the lower end continues to get better because the screens are. 118 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: Better, right, So that's great. 119 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it just continues to kind of go along. 120 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: The iPhone is now at this point where it's tough 121 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: to innovate within a big way, like because we have 122 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: pretty much everything we want on it, and I think 123 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: there's more that people can always want, like battery. But 124 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about my phone, like my 125 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: iPhone eleven Pro Max, I would say five nights out 126 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: of the week, I am going to bed and this 127 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: is at like seventy to eighty percent battery. 128 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 4: Wait what, I'm a whole from not trickle charging. 129 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: Well, I do charge. 130 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: I would say probably once throughout the day, like when 131 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm driving in my car. 132 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: But that's it. 133 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: And I'm talking I've gone through a whole day, and 134 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: like even on like days where I'm using my phone 135 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: a ton. I mean, the battery on this thing is 136 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: crazy good. 137 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: It really just is. 138 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 3: That's amazing. 139 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: Anyway, let's get to your first question, Megan. 140 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 4: All right, so this first question comes from Paul and 141 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: he actually wrote this on your Facebook page, which is 142 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 4: Facebook dot com slash rich on Tech looks like Apple 143 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 4: slash Goldman Sachs just started reporting to credit agencies today, 144 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 4: prompting all the credit monitoring companies I employ to report 145 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 4: suspicious activity on my account. When I called gold Sacks, 146 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: they said people had been calling about the credit alerts 147 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,799 Speaker 4: all day, no email warning or anything. 148 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: This is interesting because so you know the Apple card, 149 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: this is Apple's credit card that they issued with Goldman Sacks. 150 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: And the thing is they kind of thought differently from 151 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: like your standard credit card. But I guess in the 152 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: beginning they were not. They were not reporting to credit 153 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: agencies your activity on this card, which for some people's good, 154 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: some people it's bad. So for the good, it's basically, 155 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: you know, if you're late on a payment or something like, 156 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: I guess it wouldn't really matter. I don't really I mean, 157 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: there's no late payments on that card, so I don't 158 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: really know how that would impact you. But now that 159 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: they're reporting and or on the flip side, the bad 160 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: part of that is that if you're trying to build credit, 161 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: you wouldn't be building it with that card because they're 162 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: not reporting. You'd be spending a whole bunch of money 163 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: every month and doing everything right, and your credit report 164 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: doesn't reflect that because Apple wasn't reporting it, or I 165 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: guess Goldman Sacks. 166 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 2: So now it started. 167 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: Now they just started, So I guess this guy has 168 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: all of his alerts from all these different credit reporting 169 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: agencies saying like, hey, make sure you tell me when 170 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: something goes on my credit report, and he's like. 171 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: Bing, mgm mming. So I guess that's probably a good 172 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: thing and it was inevitable. 173 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 4: We know, why did they do that just to get 174 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 4: people to. 175 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: Be like, oh, you know what, I don't know. 176 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: I think maybe it was just a system they you know. 177 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know like why they did it. Maybe 178 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: they just wanted they just didn't care at the beginning. 179 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 4: Oh here that they didn't warn anyone. 180 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it did something. 181 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: Well I think you knew. 182 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: I think if look, if you if you read the 183 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: terms and conditions when you signed up, I guarantee you 184 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: In there it says we will begin reporting to the 185 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: credit agencies or we have the right to report to 186 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: their credit agency. So I'm sure it was in there somewhere. 187 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: But now that it started, be warned. So if you 188 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: are late with a payment, they might not charge you 189 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: for that lateness, but they might actually report. 190 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: That yeah, and your credit could be affected. 191 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: Have you ever been late on a payment? 192 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: No?

They are taking 298 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: a risk, not really, I guess not first five G 299 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: network nationwide five G and it is lit up. 300 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: They've got it all over America. 301 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: They got two hundred million people covered more than a 302 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: million square miles and. 303 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: This is it. 304 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: They are first out of the gate with five G 305 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: in a very big, meaningful way. Now what does this 306 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: mean for you? Because you are gonna be seeing a 307 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: lot of commercials, a lot of hype about five G 308 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: from T Mobile. Full disclosure, I have not tested this network, 309 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: so I cannot tell you if it's good, if it's bad, 310 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: if it's somewhere in between. But I will tell you this, 311 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: you probably don't need to go out and jump on 312 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: this network today. Anything that's brand new, especially when it 313 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: comes to technology, you don't necessarily need to be on 314 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: there day day one because even though they've built this 315 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: out and I'm sure it's fine, it's not gonna be 316 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: as robust as the networks that you're used to. And 317 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: five G, when you think about it, sounds really fast. 318 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: But from what I'm reading, T Mobile decided to go with. 319 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: There's two flavors of five G. There's like super fast, 320 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: but it doesn't travel very far, and that's called millimeter wave. 321 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: And then there's more broad spectrum where it goes further 322 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: or it travels further but. 323 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 2: It's not as fast. 324 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: They went with that kind, so that's how they're able 325 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: to get such wide swaths of coverage. 326 00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 2: Versus like Verizon. 327 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: If you go and look at their five G maps 328 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: for like Chicago or La or LA is non existent. 329 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: But like Chicago, it's literally like a park that has 330 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: five G or like a street that has five G. 331 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: It's really small areas. 332 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: So if you're outside in that park, you'll get five 333 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: G as soon as you go into that building that's 334 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: right there, no five G. So there's two phones that 335 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: work with T Mobile right now. It is the one 336 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: plus seven T Pro five G. McLaren say that five 337 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: times fast and this. Yeah, McLaren is the car company. 338 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: They do the one plus teams with them to like 339 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: make these super fast phones. Basically Samsung Galaxy Note ten 340 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: plus five G and those are the two phones. So 341 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: they tap into the six hundred megahertz five G spectrum 342 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: and they're also capable of using sprints five G spectrum 343 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: once the merger closes. So I don't think that it's 344 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: that bad. But I don't think there's an impetus to 345 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: jump on this right now. I don't think that you 346 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: really need to do that. Yeah, if you're not, I 347 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: think that the speeds are just fine from what I'm reading. 348 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: Let's see c NEET tested it in Maui, I guess 349 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: with the five G and. 350 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 2: Let's see uhi. Yeah, so I didn't want to talk 351 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 2: about this. It's a little source subject. 352 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: But basically Qualcom, who makes all the chips and the phones, 353 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: they fly out all these journalists, well sorry, not necessarily journalists. 354 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: They fly out. 355 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: Tech tech influencers. 356 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, influencers to like Maui every year, tastemakers, taste makers, 357 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: and so here's and this is you know, I don't 358 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: want to knock them because like I get it, and 359 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: we've we've done trips before, like we've done press trips 360 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: where a company will host us and so I'm I'm 361 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: not sitting here throwing glass you know what is it 362 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: rocks in a glasshouse. Yeah, but here's the thing that 363 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: is interesting to me with something this big. So they 364 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: take out a lot of influence, like a lot of 365 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: tech people, right from big publications, small publications, YouTubers, whatever. 366 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: They fly them all out to Maui, which is obviously 367 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: they're in San Diego, like the company. 368 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: They don't need to go to Maui. 369 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: They could do this insane you go, but they fly 370 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: them all out there, put them up at this five 371 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: star hotel, very nice. I mean, everything's covered, but and 372 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: then they talk about their new chip that's in all 373 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: the phones and five G and. 374 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: All the stuff. 375 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: But like I was thinking about this, like if the 376 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: news like we're not going there to cover it, and 377 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: like I bet nobody else is either, But like if 378 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: it was that big, wouldn't tech publications when the New 379 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: York Times go there, like wouldn't on their own dime. 380 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't. I don't even know if 381 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: they could take a trip like that. But the point 382 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: is it's one of these it's a weird thing. It's 383 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: like it's a lot of hype and I'm seeing a 384 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: lot of posts from people that I know and love 385 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: about this Maui trip, but like it's tough to kind 386 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: of like sift through the hype of these people are 387 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: excited at a free trip in Maui versus is this 388 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: really amazing technology that we shall know about? And that's 389 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: kind of like the tough part of it. And so 390 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm just keeping it real. 391 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 3: Bought to hype it up. 392 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: I did not say that, but well, I agree, But 393 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: those that's the question as. 394 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: A consumer, You're right, that's the question that goes through 395 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: your mind. 396 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: But also like I don't know. 397 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 4: I don't work for this company, but like if it 398 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 4: was company X, like wouldn't you want your new tech 399 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 4: to be on the like actual news. 400 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: Or well that's the thing. 401 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 3: So I don't know on YouTube, like I just I 402 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: don't know. 403 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: It's their audience. Look, and this is the world we 404 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: live in. This is the world we live in today. 405 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: And like I said, we've gone on trips like this, 406 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: so I can't say that I've never taken a trip 407 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: where we went to We went to Disney one time 408 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: and they opened up a new ride and they did 409 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: a new land and you know, it was a whole 410 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: big thing and Disney took care of us. And like, yeah, 411 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: it happens, and you disclose it. You make sure that 412 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: when you're on a trip like that, you have to 413 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: make sure. And you also like to me, I've never 414 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: gone on a trip because it's a free trip like 415 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: that would be yeah, just not cool. 416 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 2: No, And believe me, going on the trip, I get 417 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: offered a lot of these things. You know it. I 418 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 2: tell you all the time, like hey, this this place 419 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 2: offered to take us and they're all in like Alaska, 420 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: I'd go there. 421 00:16:58,680 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: That would actually be really cool. 422 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: I guess at the bottom line, I'm jealous I wasn't invited. 423 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 2: I guess that's really a horrible place. 424 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would not want to go there. I hear 425 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: this is really cold this time of year. 426 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's raining, actually raining, like nice warm water. Okay, 427 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 4: So this next question comes from Adriana. She asks, I'm 428 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 4: looking for some cool ideas for my husband. I'm assuming 429 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 4: for Christmas or the holidays, and she says, any thoughts 430 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 4: on wireless charging pads versus charging banks. 431 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: So wireless charging pads versus a wireless charging bank, they're 432 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: two different things, and they're two different uses. So I'll 433 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: just tell you what I do. So I have a 434 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: wireless charging pad next to my bed. So wireless charging 435 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: is way slower than typical charging. In most cases. It's 436 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: just not as fast as plugging in your phone. So 437 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: if you need your phone done WI, you know, charged 438 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: up fast, always plugging it in is going to be faster. 439 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: Wireless has gotten better at this, but it's still not 440 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: as fast as wired as far as I know. 441 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. 442 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: So that's so I'd recommend the wireless charging for two 443 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: places bedside overnight, so. 444 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: You put your phone there and it charges slowly throughout 445 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 2: the night and you wake up and it's done. 446 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: Or at work, when you're just sitting there and your 447 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: phone is next to your desk, you can have it 448 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: trickle charging all day. You just kind of lay your 449 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: phone down there. Anyway, most people lay their phone on 450 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: their desk, might as well lay it on a charging pad, 451 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: wireless charging pad. Those are the two places. Now with 452 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: the bedside thing, I will tell you there have been 453 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: many nights where if you don't place it just right, 454 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning and your phone has 455 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: not been charged. Now I will tell you that happened 456 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: to me this week. My phone was still at seventy 457 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: three percent. So the iPhone, like I said, it's like, is. 458 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 4: It one of those things where you're just supposed to 459 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 4: really like look and see that you put it down 460 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 4: and you hear it go. 461 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 2: Yes, you have to. You have to check every single time. 462 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. 463 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 2: And sometimes I'll like go to sleep and I'll like 464 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: open an eye, I'm like, oh, I really, let me 465 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: check again, and you have to look and make sure. 466 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 467 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: So that's number one. The power bank is different. 468 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: That's when you need portable power, right, And so I 469 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: would recommend a company named Anchor. They make fantastic portable 470 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: battery packs. 471 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 2: Go on Amazon. You can get a great pack. 472 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: The higher the number, they're usually in milliamp hours, so 473 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: ten thousand, so about I'll just give it to you 474 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: this way. iPhone battery is about three thousand million amp hours. 475 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: Let's just say that. Okay, if you get one of 476 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: these power banks, let's say it's three thousand million powers, 477 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: how many times does that charge your iPhone once? Yes, 478 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: if it's about five thousand, you might get twice. If 479 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: it's ten thousand, you might get three times. So again, 480 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: the higher you get, the more charges you're gonna get. 481 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: And it's not a perfect science. 482 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 3: And you get wireless charging banks that charge. 483 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: It faster, yes you can. 484 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: And in fact, there are actually power banks that are 485 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: wireless as well, like Mophi Mate Turn where you sit 486 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: it on top of it. Yeah, so there are Yeah, 487 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: that's the sound. So there's a lot of things to do. 488 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: But I mean, I think he's gonna be happy with 489 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: something from Mophy for the wireless charging and then something 490 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: from Anchor for the regular charging power bank. 491 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: Cool. 492 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: All right, this was my head scratcher of the week. 493 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: Oregon FBI. Do you know that I used to say 494 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: Oregon when I came from New Jersey. 495 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 2: Oh? 496 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 4: Really soon? 497 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 2: What's that? 498 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: Oh isn't that a character from Lord of the Rings. 499 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 2: Oh I don't know. Okay, I never saw that. 500 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: Uh, Oregon, now it's now I'm getting confused. It's Oregon, 501 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: It's Orgon Okay, so Oregon. FBI out with a press 502 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: release this week that says you must secure your smart TV. 503 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: So a lot of people are getting these smart TVs, 504 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: especially during Black Friday Cyber Monday, a lot of people 505 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: picked up TVs, and they're warning about the microphones in 506 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: these TVs that could potentially be used to. 507 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 2: Spy on you. 508 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: But also they say a number of the newer TVs 509 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: also have built in cameras. Now this is where I 510 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: find their advice to be kind of strange, because here 511 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: in the US, we have not seen a large number 512 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: of TVs with cameras in them. In fact, I have 513 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: yet to find one model that's been sold in the US. 514 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: I did find some that were sold overseas, Asia and India. Okay, 515 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: so this is definitely a thing. And of course in 516 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: the future, like I personally would love to have a 517 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: camera in the TV because video chatting would be a 518 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: lot easier. 519 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 4: Yeah. 520 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: Anyway, so their article is going through all the things 521 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: that like, they're basically saying that you just need to 522 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: keep in mind that your smart TV could be spying 523 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: on you with the camera and the microphone, so just 524 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: be aware of that. And so my advice is twofold 525 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: number one. If you don't use the smart side of 526 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: your TV, like the apps, then just disconnect it from 527 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: Wi Fi. Some TVs you can't do that, so that's 528 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: maybe never logged into the Wi Fi. 529 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. They also recommend that if you do 530 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: have a camera, you can put a piece of black 531 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: tape over it as a basic option for like privacy. 532 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 4: I see a lot of people putting tape over the 533 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 4: camera on their laptop. 534 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. They make those little slider things too. 535 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: I have one on my computer, but it just kind 536 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: of interrupted the close ability, like the it didn't sit flat, 537 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: and it really just annoyed me. Yeah, and it's just 538 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: annoyed the aesthetic of you. 539 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 3: I really think someone's watching. 540 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't think someone's watching, but I definitely think there 541 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: is a potential for that. 542 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 543 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean, but here's the thing we've carried phones around 544 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: now for ten years, and they have cameras, and they 545 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: have cameras and microphones, and we have yet to see 546 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: a wide spread issue of like someone tapping into a 547 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: lot of phones and monitoring people. And we also have 548 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: these speakers in our homes from Google and elect and 549 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: Echo you know Amazon, the Echo, Yeah, that also have microphones. 550 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: And we have cameras, like we have Nest cameras, we 551 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: have ring cameras. 552 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 2: So no matter what your TV is, just like the 553 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: least your worries. 554 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's cameras and microphones everywhere nowadays, and we're putting 555 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: them there. Yeah, and so if someone was able to 556 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: figure out and exploit it could be pretty bad. But 557 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: most of the time what happens ninety nine point nine 558 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: percent of the time, your password is very weak and 559 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: that's how they crack into these things. And so if 560 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: you and I think like a lot of these companies 561 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: are doing better at making you choose a strong pasth 562 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: like the Nests of the World and stuff. But if 563 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: you get one of these, especially a cheap kind of 564 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: IP camera off of Amazon, the best thing you. 565 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: Can do is change the password immediately. Just don't use 566 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 2: the default password. 567 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: And in general, just be very very cognizant of how 568 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: these things can affect you and just remember that. Like, 569 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, you want to set it up really fast 570 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: and get the camera running, but like, think about the 571 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: implications of using the same password that you use for 572 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: everything for the past ten years on your security camera 573 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: or your ring doorbell. Like, just think about that. Like 574 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: you want it to be something unique and safe and 575 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: a little bit uncrackable. 576 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 2: Producer Megan. 577 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 4: Okay, so our next question comes from Sherry Can Yeah, 578 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 4: that's how she wants you to say it. 579 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: I was just listening to four Seasons yesterday in the 580 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: car after we talked about them. 581 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. 582 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 4: So Sherry asked, can you recommend a good flip phone 583 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 4: for seniors? 584 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 3: We are on T Mobile. 585 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I know it.

You can't. Have you ever gotten a video 723 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: for an Android squares? Yes? 724 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really bad. It's really bad. 725 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 2: Okay. 726 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: So Google Photos is tackling this problem by letting you 727 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: send kind of your own photos through Google Photos. Now, 728 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: you've always been able to do that, but they're now 729 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: making it more like a chat, so it feels like 730 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: you're sending a text. But in Google Photos they're kind 731 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: of going around the whole texting system because it's so 732 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: messed up here in the US because there's no one 733 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: platform that everyone's using that can guarantee when you go 734 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: out somewhere and someone says, hey, can you send me 735 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: that picture you just took? And if I'm Android and 736 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: I text it to you on an iPhone, it looks terrible. 737 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: If your iPhone, you text me a picture to my Android, 738 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: it looks to arrible. Only iPhone to iPhone works out 739 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: right now, wow, And Android to android's getting better with 740 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: what they call rcs, but I still don't have it 741 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: on my androids, so clearly other people don't either. Yeah, 742 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: but what they're doing is you can just now chat 743 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: inside Google Photos and send pictures their full resolution. And 744 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of like I always think about, like my mom, 745 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: like she doesn't know the difference. Someone's like, hey, I 746 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: just texted to you inside Google Photos, and she can 747 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: go in there. She knows Google Photos because she uses it, 748 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: goes in there, sees my text looks like a text message, 749 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: sees the picture, can save it to her camera, roll 750 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: or out gallery whatever, it's full resolution. 751 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: She can do like iPhone to Android through Google Photos exactly. 752 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: Or Android to Android, Android to iPhone, iPhone to Android, 753 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: Android to iPhone, whatever wherever has Google Photos, you can 754 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: finally send pictures as if it's a text. Yeah, so 755 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: look for that feature in Google Photos. I do not 756 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: have it yet on my Google Photos, but it is 757 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: rolling out to Android iOS and the web without any 758 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: image loss from the photos you've backed up, and it's 759 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: gradually rolling out over the next week, so it'll be 760 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: there any day now. 761 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 4: Okay, So the next question is from Nicole rich Help. 762 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 4: I listened to you on Kfi from Houston. I bought 763 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 4: your iPhone. 764 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 3: Book last year for my hobby. 765 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 4: You know it all, so I know you'll have my answer. 766 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 4: I'm getting mixed answers on this. I want an Apple 767 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 4: Watch to listen to my music at the gym. I 768 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 4: want to leave my phone in the locker floor above 769 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 4: where I'll be working out. Well the signal reach on 770 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 4: a Series three. I need to be able to get 771 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 4: texts and calls, just in case my boys' school calls. 772 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 4: I'd love to buy the cheaper Series three, but do 773 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 4: I need the Series five through. 774 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 3: With cellular five? Series five though with cellular thanks. 775 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: Okay, A couple things going on here. So she wants 776 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: to be able to use She wants to be able 777 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: to get her texts and calls on her watch when 778 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: she's at the gym. Now, if your watch is in 779 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: the locker and you're on Wi Fi at the gym, right, 780 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: which she could be. I don't know what her gym deals, 781 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: but a lot of gyms have Wi Fi, right, so 782 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: if she has Wi Fi and the so let's say 783 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: you sign into Wi Fi on your iPhone, it usually 784 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: transfers that Wi Fi over to your Apple Watch, like 785 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: it will share the credentials, so it works sometimes, sometimes 786 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't. Most of the time it works. So if 787 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: she's close enough to her Apple iPhone and she's on 788 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: her Apple Watch. Let's say she's on the treadmill downstairs, 789 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: the watch, the phone is upstairs in her locker. If 790 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: that kind of signal reaches, it should work to send 791 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: her messages and calls. But I don't think that's a 792 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: good way to do it because it's not guaranteed, so 793 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't recommend that, like if she wants to rely 794 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: on making sure she can get a call on her phone, 795 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: like I'm in my house sometimes and my watch is 796 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: on Wi Fi and I answer it and it still doesn't. 797 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: It's like transferring the call from my phone doesn't work 798 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: half the time. 799 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 4: And it doesn't matter if it's a Series three or 800 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 4: Series five. 801 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: That's both. She number one, you only need. If she's 802 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 2: looking to save money, she only needs a Series three. 803 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 2: They both offer cellular. 804 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: The difference is some of the other features on the 805 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: Series five, which always on screen, fall protection and a compass. 806 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: She doesn't eat any of that stuff, So I don't 807 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: know if she sounds young right, she's kids. 808 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 3: She did not say her age. 809 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 2: But well, I mean if you're. 810 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 3: She has kids, she has sounds like she has young kids. 811 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're at an age where you think you 812 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: might be at risk for falling, then you might want 813 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: to look into the series five. Yeah, that's kind of 814 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: what I'm getting at there. But with the music situation, 815 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: so I would number one for her recommend cellular. 816 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 2: You got to get cellular. 817 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, ten dollars a month. It's a necessary evil. It's 818 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty bucks a year. Look, you know you 819 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: get It opens up a lot of functionality on the 820 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: Apple Watch. Number two music, So two things with music. 821 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: Number one, if you have Apple Music, it automatically can 822 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: transfer music to your Watch, and so you can listen 823 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: to anything without a cellular connection. But if she's getting cellular, 824 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: she can really use any music apps that she wants 825 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: that supports the Apple Watch. 826 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 4: So you can't download music on like Spotify on the 827 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 4: Apple Water. 828 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: Spotify, I don't think so. 829 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: But Pandora, I believe, is the only one that's first 830 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: out of the gate besides Apple. 831 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 2: Music to let you download some music. 832 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: Now, I could be wrong there, And if you're listening 833 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: and you think I'm wrong, let me know. But as 834 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: far as I know, I don't think that you have 835 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 1: Spotify on the Apple Watch. I feel like I would 836 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: have heard about this and so far. Yeah, so what 837 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm seeing if you're a Spotify subscriber, you can play 838 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: pause and skip music and podcasts, control the volume, get 839 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: info about what's playing. Nowhere to to say that you 840 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: can listen to music offline, okay, which is what you 841 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: want it to. You want to transfer music from your 842 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,879 Speaker 1: phone to your watch, and I think the only things 843 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: that do that are Apple Music right now and Pandora, 844 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 1: and you know, so pick one of those two things. Anyway, 845 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: it's a very complicated thing. I believe it was my 846 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: sister who got an Apple Watch. She was so excited 847 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: to use her Spotify on it, and I felt bad 848 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: breaking it to her. I was like, oh, it doesn't 849 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: work with Apple Watch, Like you can't. You would just 850 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: think that your music would just carry over. I thought, yeah, no, 851 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: So I actually have Apple Music on my watch, and 852 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: I just have all my playlists or a couple, mostly 853 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: my workout. 854 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 2: Playlists like sync. So it's just like it's just like 855 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 2: Cardio music or like workout beast mode. Duh. 856 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 4: I mean, I think beast Mode is a Spotify playlist? 857 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 3: Is it also an Apple No? 858 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 2: Sorry, I was okay, yeah, I was good, good catch 859 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 2: on that.

So that's pretty cool. So I 1008 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: would look into that. Does he say if he has 1009 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: Mac or PC? No, he doesn't say okay, he just 1010 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: says duplicate photo Finder. Okay, he says, so I would 1011 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,359 Speaker 1: say the other one. I did some research on line 1012 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: found a website that recon So here's how I did 1013 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: my research. Since I don't really use duplicate filefinder on Windows, 1014 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: I looked for a website that recommends Gemini, which is 1015 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: my pick. And then I said, well, if they know Gemini, 1016 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: they obviously are pretty good and they might know another 1017 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: good one. 1018 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,280 Speaker 2: So softwarehow dot com. 1019 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: They have two recommendations for PC Duplicate Cleaner Pro, which 1020 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: is their main one, and then easy Duplicate Finder.
