Speaker 1: very first episode of rich on Tech. I've never been

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: more excited. This has been a lifelong dream of mine.

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: Uh if you've listened to my podcast over the years,

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: this show is going to be largely similar to that,

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: except that didn't have you as a live caller, which

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: has been the thing I've wanted to do for so

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: many years. You get to connect with me. I'm going

40
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: is going to be a back and forth. This is

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: not just me talking to you. This is you. You

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: are part of this show, and you're a big part

43
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: of it because without you, there is no show. You

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: have questions, I have answers. We'll get the you know,

45
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: we'll get this all figured out. It's going to be fun.

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: My plan is to make this the most useful show

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: you listen to each and every week. I'm gonna pack

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: it with tech tips, reviews, cool new apps and websites,

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: plus information to keep you safe from scams and other

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: online issues. I mean, think about it every day. I'm

51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: covering this stuff for KTLA. I'm seeing a lot of

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: stuff come through. I'm going to a lot of things,

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: talking to a lot of people. I'm going to bring

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: that information right here. I'm also excited to bring on

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: interesting guests to talk about a wide range of topics.

56
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: It's going to be different, it's going to be you know,

57
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: I find tech to be a wide swath of things.

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: It's not just one thing. Tech is all is gadgets,

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: but it's also how do people do their jobs with technology?

60
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: What apps do you use to stay organized and to

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: stay focused and to stay productive. That's the kind of

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: stuff that I want to explore in this show. All right,

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: So a little bit about me. All Right, I'm just

64
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: a regular person who loves tech. I've always loved tech.

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been thinking about technology since I was

66
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: a kid. I remember waiting to get on the internet,

67
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: this thing called the Internet when AOL was a thing,

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: and AOL was sort of this, you know, it was

69
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: part of the Internet, but not really. And I waited

70
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: every day as a kid for that little Internet link

71
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: on AOL to light up. That's how nerdy I was.

72
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm originally from New Jersey, right outside New York City,

73
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: and my typical job throughout the last couple decades has

74
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: been a TV reporter. And I started out as a reporter,

75
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: as you would in a small market Yakima, Washington. I

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: moved my way up to Shreveport, Louisiana. Then I went

77
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles, then I went to New York and

78
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: then I came back to Los Angeles. And in that

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: time where I really cut my teeth as a tech

80
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 1: person was at cnet in New York City. And Wow,

81
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: what a fun place to work. I mean, to go

82
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: from looking at a website like ce neet to actually

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: being on a website like cenet. I got to see

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: it all, I got to do it all. I was

85
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: there for the launch of the iPhone in New York

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: City in two thousand and seven. It was such a

87
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: phenomenal time. I could still remember being in the Apple

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: Store in that launch day like it was yesterday. In fact,

89
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: the song that you just heard, the lead singer of

90
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: that song was inside the Apple Store and I got

91
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: to talk to him for a little bit. I mean,

92
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: just what an incredible experience. Now, I've been covering tech

93
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: for more than a decade at KTLA TV in Los Angeles,

94
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: and it has been so much fun. I wake up early.

95
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: You know, I talked to people. I've traveled around the

96
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: world doing my job, to countries including China, including Japan, Ireland, England, Spain, Portugal,

97
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you name it. I've seen tech in different places.

98
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: And what I love about that is that, you know,

99
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: we grow up here in America and we see how

100
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: we do things, but when you go to other places,

101
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: you see how other people do things and it could

102
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: be a little bit different than the way we do stuff.

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: So it gives you depth, it gives you perspective. But

104
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: really my secret weapon is you. Your emails, your messages,

105
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: your responses to my TV segments. Help me know what

106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: is important, What are you thinking about? What do you

107
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: want to know about? I mean, I don't have all

108
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: the answers. I don't wake up and just know everything

109
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: there is to know about technology. I explore and I

110
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: figure it out, and I also know the ways to

111
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: figure this stuff out, and that really helps me out.

112
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to do my best to use my knowledge

113
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: to help you out. I'm on a journey just like

114
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: you with all of this stuff. You know, I get

115
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: a gadget for Christmas and I got to figure it out,

116
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: just like you. I've got a wife, i've got two kids,

117
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: I've got a full time job. I've got a lot

118
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: to juggle, and you know, reading the manuals has never

119
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: been my forte. I kind of like to figure it

120
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: out as I go along. And in twenty twenty three,

121
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I'll be figuring out how to get organized. Like digital

122
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: photos and files, they've become a mess, just like yours have.

123
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: I bet I've got Google Drive, I've got Apple Cloud Storage,

124
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 1: I've got my phone. I've got all kinds of things

125
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: in different places, and I want to figure out how

126
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: am I going to dupe? How am I going to organize?

127
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: That's my goal this year. Also, how to become more productive,

128
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: how to keep tracking my notes. I've been journaling on

129
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: a daily basis, which is really fun? What's the best

130
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: to do list? App I've been trying to figure that out.

131
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: My hope with this show is to inspire you. It's

132
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: to make you smile, it's to make you think, it's

133
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: to make you laugh, and overall, just make you enjoy

134
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: our time together. That's really what it's all about. You're

135
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: giving me your time. If that's not fun, then you

136
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: probably got to go somewhere else. It's got to be

137
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: fun for this to be interesting. Now. I just got

138
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: back from CS twenty twenty three. This is the big

139
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: tech show in Las Vegas. I've been going to this

140
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: for over a decade and this year things were back

141
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: in full swing. Last year, the year before, it's been

142
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: a little rough for the show, obviously because of the pandemic.

143
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: But this year it was. It was pretty incredible. There

144
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: is so much to see. I did not get to

145
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: see it all. But you know, people complain about ces.

146
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: They say how big it is, they say how annoying

147
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: it is, how they get sick, how they get tired,

148
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: how they have to walk. I will embrace every bit

149
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: of that because at the end of the day, this

150
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: is where you see the stuff that I'm going to

151
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: be talking about for the next year or two. This

152
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: is where I get to see my friends. This is

153
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: where I get to see pr folks that I connect

154
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: with over email and I just know them by an

155
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: email account. This is how business gets done in person.

156
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: I get it. We've been remote, we've been hybrid. You

157
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: could do your job from anywhere these days. But when

158
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: you're in person, you actually get to connect with a

159
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: human being, and that is still the most magical experience

160
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: we have as humans. You're listening to me right now

161
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: through some sort of speaker or headset, and we feel connected.

162
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: But if you see me in person, it's a whole

163
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: different world. You get to say, hey, rich you know,

164
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: I like what you do. I see thanks for this,

165
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: I like that post. It's just a different connection that

166
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: you can't have any other way in this world. But

167
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: I'll take this too, because this is really fun. At

168
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: CS always the TVs. They're getting bigger, they're getting slimmer.

169
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: Eight K still a buzzy thing. We also saw wireless TVs.

170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: I drove to CES because I like driving. I like

171
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: my time. I like that time in the car to

172
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: just kind of enjoy and you know, disconnect from the world.

173
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a couple of hours where I can't

174
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: check my social media while I'm driving, and it's kind

175
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: of a glorious thing. Is CS a ton of work? Absolutely?

176
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: Is it all worth it? One hundred percent. I even

177
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: got to go to a concert. While I was there,

178
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: I saw Imagine Dragons, and you know, everything you do

179
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: there is for a reason. Imagine Dragons was presented by Dolby.

180
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: It was in their theater that they have at Park MGM,

181
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: and it was presented and Dole me at most. So again,

182
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: everything you do just adds to that perspective that you

183
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: have as a journalist, as a tech person, and quite honestly,

184
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen Imagine Dragons, very inspiring concert. I

185
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: had a fantastic time. I went with my photographer Luis.

186
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: It was late, we were tired, it was after a

187
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: full day of work, and we really really enjoyed ourselves

188
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: and I can't say how inspiring that concert was. I

189
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: never realized just what an impact someone like that can

190
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: make on me. All right, coming up, we are going

191
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,960

Speaker 1: one zero one. That is the direct line for me.

195
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: If you don't call, I've got some questions that you've

196
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: emailed me. Again. I'm at rich on Tech on social media,

Speaker 1: new host of this radio show called Rich on Tech.

220
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's do this. This is another little piece

221
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: of history.

222
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: Here.

223
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: See if I can reach the phone here, we're going

224
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: to take our very first caller, and it is Mary

225
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: in Downie. Mary in Downie, you are on with Rich

226
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: on Tech. How's it going?

227
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: Good morning, Rich. First of all, I would like to

228
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: say congratulations on your new show. I've been following you

229
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: on KTLA for years.

230
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you so much. I can you hear

231
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: the excitement and the nervousness in my voice. I was

232
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: surprised I didn't get a notification from my Apple Watch

233
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: saying your heart rate is a little higher than typical.

234
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: No, you sound really confident, just as you always do.

235
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. What can I help you with today?

236
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: What's going on in your life?

237
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: So my question is, when I'm in my car, my

238
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: cell phone, my android connects to my car and it

239
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,479
Speaker 3: says do I want to auto connect to the car's wife?

240
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: I don't have it on auto connect. I'm a boomer.

241
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 3: I would like for you to explain the difference between

242
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: my celf, WiFi, my car and Wi Fi, or even

243
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: at work I connect to a hotspot. Can you explain

244
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: all those different terms for me?

245
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely, This is a great question, and it's funny.

246
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: I was just talking about this yesterday. I was in

247
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: Vegas and I was saying how I rarely connect my

248
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: phone to the Wi Fi network at the hotel because

249
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: I'd rather if I have a good signal on my phone,

250
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to use my LTE or my cellular or

251
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: my you know, five G signal. So you've got a

252
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: couple things going on. I mean, you've got cellular, which

253
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: is the connection between your phone and your carrier. So

254
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: whether you have Verizon, T Mobile, at and T or

255
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: one of the smaller carriers out there, that's a direct

256
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: connection between your phone and the tower. You've seen them

257
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: all over town, you know. Sometimes they look like trees.

258
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes they just look like a bunch of speakers on

259
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: a pole. That's a direct connection. That's also the most

260
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: secure connection you can have between your phone and the network.

261
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: So if you're doing anything like banking, anything really private.

262
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: I always recommend turning off Wi Fi and using just

263
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: the direct cellular connection. Now, when you get into your car,

264
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: your car could have two connections, So the Wi Fi

265
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: connection in your car, your car may be equipped with

266
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: a cellular connection. A lot of the new cars are

267
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: equipped with that. And that cellular connection means that you

268
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: pay a monthly fee or it's somehow included in the

269
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: price of your car, and it is connecting to a network.

270
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: And the benefit of that is that your car probably

271
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: has a higher powered antenna than your phone, which means

272
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: you're going to grab a signal in more places with

273
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: the LTE or the five G connection in your car.

274
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: And so your car is physically or I guess wirelessly connected.

275
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: If it was physically connected to the cellular tower, you

276
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: wouldn't go very far. But your car is wirelessly connected

277
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: to the cellular tower, and that is giving a cellular

278
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: connection to your car. And this can power things like

279
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: streaming music. It can power things like streaming radio, and

280
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: also the maps in your car and anything else that

281
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: your car may use, you know, software updates, all that

282
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Many cars today, I mean this is

283
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: going back many years have those sort of connections. Now,

284
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: why would you want your phone to connect to the

285
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Wi Fi that your car is emitting. Well, you might

286
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: want a stronger connection in more places. You also might

287
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: have a limited data plan on your phone, and maybe

288
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: you want to use the data plan that's on your car,

289
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: So those are some of the reasons why you might

290
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: want to do that. The other reason is, you know

291
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: you can use features like Android Auto wirelessly, so if

292
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: you're not connecting to your car, Android Auto would not

293
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: be able to connect wirelessly to take over the screen

294
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: in the center console. So that's definitely another reason why

295
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: you'd want to connect to the Wi Fi in your car,

296
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: even if you're not using a Wi Fi connection per se,

297
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: But that's the way your phone is is communicating with

298
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: that center screen to take it over. Now, at work,

299
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: this is a tricky topic because I'm also not a

300
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: big fan of connecting my phone to the in work

301
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Wi Fi. Not that I'm doing anything wrong at work,

302
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: but quite honestly, companies do have tracking software that they

303
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: can potentially use on the Wi Fi networks at work,

304
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: and depending on how your Wi Fi at work is

305
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: set up, it could be very secure and you may

306
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: have to accept some sort of what's called a trust

307
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: certificate to actually use that Wi Fi, or you may

308
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: have to use a network that is very insecure and

309
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: open network. And the reality is these days Wi Fi

310
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: is pretty secure for the most part. Unless someone's using

311
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: a sophisticated device to sort of sniff out what's happening

312
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: on the network, you're probably going to be okay. But

313
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: I just rather there are so many implications of when

314
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: you join a Wi Fi network, how you can be

315
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: tracked and followed and monitored and notified, and I just

316
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: would rather stay out of all of that. So typically,

317
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: unless I'm doing something that requires a big download or

318
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: a big upload, I'm just staying off the Wi Fi

319
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: connection at work. If you have an unlimited cellular pro

320
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: A plan on your phone, why do you need to

321
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: be on the Wi Fi. It's something to think about.

322
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that you have to, you know,

323
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: disconnect from your company's Wi Fi today, but it's just

324
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: one of those things. Maybe ask some questions like, hey,

325
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: how is the Wi Fi set up, or what's the

326
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: limitations or what are you monitoring for? Because you know,

327
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: we do a lot of personal stuff on our phones,

328
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: and most of it's encrypted so you should be okay.

329
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: But the reality is, you know, they could potentially see

330
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: when you come and go to work. They could see

331
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: where you hang out at work. They can see when

332
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: you connect, they can see when you disconnect, they can

333
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: see websites that you go to. There are a lot

334
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: of implications of any network that you connect to, and

335
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: Bluetooth is very similar. So I think that knowing about

336
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: this stuff and being away of it is the smart thing.

337
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: And Mary, I think that you know, just asking these

338
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: questions like this is a smart thing because you're curious

339
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: and that's always the first step to just being on

340
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: top of things. So thank you Mary in Downy, California

341
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: for having the very first question on the Rich on

342
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: Tech radio show. We've got a lot more in store

343

Speaker 1: Congratulations, thank you. Congratulations to Brian. Brian and I used

365
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: to both work at c net technology website, and Brian

366
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: is on his own He does all kinds of cool

367
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: tech stuff on YouTube and also your podcast where you

368
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: talk about all things Apple. How has it been you

369
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: are still at CTS right?

370
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 5: Yeah?

371
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: You know, I'm hosting the show, but I'm going to

372
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 4: take a break to talk to one of my good friends.

373
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: And we saw each other here, but see us. I

374
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 4: think this year right, last year was a pandemic kind

375
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: of recovery year or a transitional year where people really

376
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 4: weren't sure whether they were coming or not. To me,

377
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 4: when I see the boost, this feels like a fool

378
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 4: on CEF. Even the amount of people here the show

379
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 4: feels like maybe around eighty five to ninety percent of

380
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 4: what we normally get, and I think that's actually a

381
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 4: good thing. There's a point where CS was getting too crowded,

382
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 4: and now that things have kind of changed, there's people

383
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 4: that aren't going to come back to conventions as much.

384
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 4: But I think the energy and also more than I think,

385
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 4: we've seen a lot of companies who during this roughly

386
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 4: two and a half year period have done things that

387
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 4: I don't think they might have done if things were

388
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 4: kind of going year after year iner you know, and

389
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 4: just kind of be more iterative. I think it for

390
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: the companies to really be a lot more innovative.

391
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and also the breadth of companies, like the

392
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: stuff that we've seen, I mean stuff like john Gear, Caterpillar,

393
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean a car tech. It's there's so many things

394
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: that have expanded now. So Brian is the host for CS,

395
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: so you do videos for CS. You kind of get

396
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: the inside scoop on everything that's happening there. So you've

397
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: really seen it all, and you've seen like the biggest stuff,

398
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: you see the small stuff. So one of the trends

399
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: we saw this year is I guess we're going to

400
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: have wireless TVs because LG had THEIRS on display and

401
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: then there was a startup the name is evading me

402
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: right now, maybe you remember it, but they also had

403
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: a wireless TV. LG still had a plug the startup

404
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: they did not have a plug at all, Like it's

405
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: a phone a TV that you reach arge, did you

406
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: see either of these?

407
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 4: I saw, I got my I got definitely time with

408
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: the LG wireless TV. I don't know about the startup

409
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 4: because there's so many products that we're only two men.

410
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 6: It's like we can't cover everything.

411
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, with wireless transmission to a TV,

412
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: whether or even wireless transmission to a home theater system,

413
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 4: this is honestly been the holy grail for a while

414
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: for home entertainment. I remember I've been at CS for

415
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 4: fifteen years now, and I remember some of my early

416
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: years there were demos that are done private suite that

417
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: were showing off like hey, we have a wireless audio

418
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 4: system and we have wireless, and they never came to fruition, like.

419
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: Hey, they had wireless HDMI as well, remember that. I

420
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: mean I remember seeing this, and of course it was

421
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: like it was like a little adapter that you put

422
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: on the back of your TV and it had to

423
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: be I think it's like a line of sight or something.

424
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: By the way, the TV that's the startup is called

425
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Displace TV.

426
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: Oh that's good.

427
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: Displace, you said, yeah, Displace. And by the way, the

428
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: TV apparently has suction cups on the back so you

429
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 1: can just literally stick it anywhere. Now I would not.

430
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever used a command strip

431
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: on your wall, but mine fall off like once a year.

432
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: Stuff that I put up like the year before just

433
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: falls off in succession, like all the pictures. So I'm

434
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: not ready to use I'm not ready to stick a

435
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: TV on my wall.

436
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you you might not be ready now,

437
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: but when you see what LG is doing, you know

438
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 4: they have their own proprietary I guess ecosystem and connection.

439
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 4: The fact that you're sending not just a video signal

440
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 4: and audio signal, but a four K refress rate, which is,

441
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: you know, more than enough for gaming. I mean, if

442
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 4: you want hire, sure, most people are gonna actually be

443
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: playing gaming on monitors, but now more TVs are getting

444
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: higher refresh rates. The big thing here is, though, people

445
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 4: that are really into this whole minimalist design, one of

446
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 4: the biggest things that you always have to struggle with

447
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 4: is wires. These are first world problems, rich, but no

448
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 4: wire a table clutter of TVs right, and can you

449
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 4: imagine just literally mounting a TV now truly no wires.

450
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 4: It would look so clean, so beautiful and get all

451
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 4: the benefits of Dolby autmost Audio, Adobe Vision Video four

452
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 4: K one hundred and twenty herd Like, this is a

453
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 4: big this to me for the home get or junkie

454
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 4: who's been waiting for this for arguably ten years and

455
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 4: has been told it's coming. The fact that LG now

456
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: has it nailed down tells me that it's actually here.

457
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: I mean, LG is a brand y. I own an LGTV,

458
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: and it.

459
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: Will happen because here's the thing. LG showed off the

460
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: rollable TV. I think it was like four years ago.

461
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: It was like a it went from early prototype to like, okay,

462
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: it's really expensive, and then it's like okay, now it's here.

463
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: Now it's still expensive, but that's the beauty of technology

464
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: is that it does come down in price over time,

465
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: no problem. So we will see wireless TVs. It'll give

466
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: you this the flexibility to I remember every time I

467
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: got a new apartment back in the day, your TV

468
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: was determined by where that little cable came up in

469
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: the floor, like from the last personally is it? And

470
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: now it's like to go from that to just putting

471
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: your your entertainment stuff where you want it in your room,

472
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: and then your TV where you want it is a

473
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: whole bay thing. All right, let's talk about this this

474
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: BMW color changing car. Did you get to see that?

475
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 4: Yes, got to see that up close. On The good

476
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 4: thing is that last year they also I also got

477
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 4: to see it up close. This is a concept design.

478
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 4: It's called the I BMW I Vision D as spelled D.

479
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 4: And last year, yeah, last year they they showed it

480
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 4: off as a black and white concept and it was

481
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 4: a wrap on one of their current existing cars. It

482
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 4: was very geometric, but what it was is like, hey,

483
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 4: we've got a color changing car. It showed off cool

484
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 4: black and white patterns. But this year they wrapped it

485
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 4: on a streamlined car design to really actually take advantage

486
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 4: of these e ink panels. So for people that aren't

487
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 4: familiar e ink, which is like on an Amazon kindle,

488
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 4: you're familiar it being in black and white. There are

489
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: companies that make e ink that actually is in color,

490
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 4: and so what BMW has done is essentially partnered with

491
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: one of those companies and wrapped a car, but wrapped

492
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: it specifically with this car is designed with Queen lines

493
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 4: to allow this ink raped to be just really tight.

494
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: It just looks like it's it's been dipped in this

495
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 4: stuff and it's yeah, it's incredible in amazing to see.

496
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 4: I have some video footage that that that'll be going

497
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 4: up about it, but it's captured everyone's imagination. There's not

498
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 4: a single person who hasn't seen it that said they

499
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 4: loved it. I talked to BMW and the person who's

500
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: responds her name is a doctor Stella. I can't remember

501
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 4: her last name, but she's been a part of this

502
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 4: project from the beginning. It's been really a true passion

503
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: project for her. And she talks about the advances of

504
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 4: even the rap that they put on. If you when

505
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 4: there's cut lines, you know, a car has grooves and whatnot.

506
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 4: You actually cannot cut this ink material too many times

507
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: otherwise it pretty much breaks down the electrical signal that

508
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 4: goes through a panel and then would prevent it from

509
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 4: sending a single that allows it to change color.

510
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 7: So they have to be very strategic.

511
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 4: In how they wrap this car and where the cut

512
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 4: lines are. It's the most it's the most incredible thing.

513
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 4: But this is not coming out any times things right,

514
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: They're still developing more things with it, but she says

515
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 4: she even sees me like, oh, we have more ideas

516
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: for next year, don't worry. I was like wow.

517
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: But again, the reality is when we see these things,

518
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: we know that they will be coming out in the future.

519
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: Sony and Honda working together on their new car called

520
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: a FeelA. What do you think of that name? Are

521
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: you a feeling it?

522
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 6: Rich?

523
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 8: I got a feeler that's a nice gonna.

524
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 7: Be good night, Okay, I'll stop.

525
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 4: Your listeners are just I don't want them to see now.

526
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 4: But I think it's an incredible, fascinating idea where we've

527
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: seen the electric vehicle space, you know, for a while,

528
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 4: ben Argue quite honestly dominate at least here in the

529
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 4: US by Tesla. You now have actual car manufacturers who

530
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 4: really have a better fit and finish when we talk

531
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 4: about some of the aspects of a car that are

532
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 4: that are better than a Tesla, but Tesla has that.

533
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 4: It's like a it's like a technology exhibition, and they

534
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 4: have a better charging network right now, but as time

535
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: has gone on, charging networks will continue to grow. These

536
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 4: other companies that are behind, they're actually garnering more interest

537
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 4: because of think about this, right, Honda and Sony partnering

538
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 4: together and then also using a Qualcom ship inside it.

539
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 4: Those are three tech giants basically saying, hey, we need

540
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 4: to work together as a you know, a triple threat. Yeah,

541
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: to make something that is special. Like they've seen the

542
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: landscape and they're not trying to do this alone.

543
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 7: They're like, let's work together.

544
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: And that's a big electronic experience.

545
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, a huge deal and it's fascinating and I.

546
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: Love the idea that we're seeing more competition in this

547
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: electric car space. I think Sony, look, we've got Apple

548
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: jumping into the mix. At some point, You've got Sony,

549
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: You've got Honda. I mean, we are just at the

550
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: beginning of what we're seeing with all this stuff all right,

551

Speaker 1: I didn't know. This is Rick and Lamesa. See. You know,

570
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: it's my first day. It's a new job. You know

571
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: I've been you know, I've been in my TV career

572
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 1: for a long time, and I still don't know how

573
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: to press a button on a phone. But anyway, Rick

574
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: and La Mesa, welcome to the show.

575
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 5: There must be something to do with us. Both happened

576
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 5: the greatest name on Earth Rich.

577
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: Now, you know what's funny about having the name rich

578
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: is that I get called Rick all the time, even

579
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: though I've never introduced myself as Rick. But it's like

580
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 1: one of those interchangeable things, right, I guess, Yeah, I

581
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: hear you, So is your real is your actual name Richard? Okay,

582
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: there you go. So my family calls me Richard, which

583
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: means I'm in trouble if I'm hearing that name. So, uh, Rick,

584
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today?

585
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 7: Oh?

586
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 5: I was wondering about this five G thing. You know,

587
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 5: I supposedly I'll see my phone then the five G,

588
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 5: but I don't know if it's really using five G.

589
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 5: How on the heck do you see what your phone

590
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 5: is actually using for service?

591
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: Good question? Which carrier do you have? Okay? So with

592
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: Verizon there's a couple things. So this is a great

593
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: question because you know, we've heard so much hype about

594
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: five G and what does it mean? So number one,

595
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, four G networks are still pretty good. They were,

596
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: It's they're well built out. If you see an LTE

597
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: on your phone, that means you're still on four G.

598
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: If you see five G, that means you're on the latest,

599
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: greatest five G network, which is sort of an upgrade.

600
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: It's a little bit better than four G. Now what

601
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: you really want to look for is this new thing.

602
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: This is five G plus five GUW and five GUC.

603
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: So you're on Verizon. When you see five GUW, that

604
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: means ultra wideband. That means you're getting Verizon's best, absolute,

605
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: most cutting edge network, and it's going to be really fast,

606
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: Like I'm talking faster than almost all the Wi Fi

607
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: networks that you're using. And I've seen speeds that are

608
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: just incredible on these UW networks. For T Mobile, it's

609
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: five G u C And I was in Vegas over

610
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: the last week and T Mobile had a lot of

611
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: UC there. Ultracapacity, that's what that means. And it just

612
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: means that that's the real, real, you know, the spectrum

613
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: that these carriers have been wanting for so many years

614
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: that enables them to do so many more things like

615
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,239
Speaker 1: home internet, like really basically ditch Wi Fi altogether at

616
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: some point in our lives because these networks are going

617
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: to be so ubiquitous and so fast and just so

618
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: capable that we won't really need that. So how do

619
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: you know which icon or which service you're on? On

620
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: the iPhone? You swipe down from the upper right hand

621
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: corner and then it'll show you in your control center,

622
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, Verizon five G, five GUW. There's also a

623
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: couple of settings you can look at on the iPhone.

624
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: If you go into your settings and Cellular, you can

625
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: actually choose which network you want to be on. You

626
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: can say, you know, I only want five G or

627
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: I only want LTE. And the reason why you might

628
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: want to switch networks is because, let's say you're in

629
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: a really congested place, like a stadium, and maybe that

630
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: stadium is not fully upgraded to you know, these new

631
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: five G networks, and so you're having trouble getting a

632
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: tweet through or a picture through to Instagram. Sometimes it

633
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: might be helpful to drop back to an LTE network

634
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: because guess what, less are on it now, because everyone

635
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: wants to be on the fancy new five G network.

636
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: That's kind of the bottom line with these networks. I

637
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: think that the thing to know is that number one,

638
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: they're not everywhere. So these carriers are very much still

639
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: working on their five G networks, and that means sometimes

640
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: you may see a five G signal, sometimes you may not.

641
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: You may see a five G in one place, you

642
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: may see lt E in another. You may see the

643
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: UW or the PLUS or the UC in various places.

644
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: Usually at this point, the PLUS, the UW, and the

645
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: UC are in you know, city centers, freeways, stadiums, downtowns,

646
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: anywhere there's a large amount of people. They've sort of

647
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: built out the ultra capacity in those areas first, and

648
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: then eventually it will make its way to more neighborhoods.

649
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: I know Verizon, I was just talking with them about

650
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: this and they were telling me that they're getting there.

651
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: You know, they've covered a bunch of the population in

652
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: the US, but there's still work to do. You also

653
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: may see fluctuations in some of these networks. Sometimes they

654
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: work really well. Sometimes you may have some trouble. And

655
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: I know that some of the carriers are actually proactively

656
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: texting users in certain areas saying, hey, look, we're working

657
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: on the towers in your neighborhood. You may have some

658
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, some spotty connections, or you may be using

659
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: a connection that's from a network that's or a tower

660
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: that's further away. So just be aware. I know where

661
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: I you know, work on a daily basis in Hollywood. Yeah,

662
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: go ahead, Rick, would you want to add.

663
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 5: Oh, real quick, you know I had the big hope

664
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 5: to cut the wire by starting to use five G

665
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 5: for my home internet.

666
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so did I.

667
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 5: It's just like you're talking about the signal that isn't

668
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 5: available real strong in my neighborhood yet.

669
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, me either. I've got I still have LTE where

670
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: I live. And it's kind of wild because if you

671
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: go down the street, it's got five G and it's

672
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: got UW.

673
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,239
Speaker 5: That's exactly what I see, same thing.

674
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: And I'd love to switch to one of those, you know,

675
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: either the T Mobile Home Internet or the Verizon. I mean,

676
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: they're they're very competitive right now. I think it's like

677
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars a month or something. That seems pretty incredible. Uh,

678
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: if you have that signal and people are wondering, like,

679
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: wait a second, how can I replace this like wire

680
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: that comes into my house with a cellular signal and

681
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: power all my stuff. But that's what this spectrum allows

682
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: them to do because UW and you see is so

683
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: broad and it's got so much power it enables you

684
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: to do that.

685
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 5: So Rick gret question the hotspot.

686
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like setting up a hot spot, except

687
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, you've got a better antenna. It's it's more

688
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: high powered and so it's just gonna work a whole

689
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: lot better. Thanks for the question. And yeah, a lot

690
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: of mystery around all this stuff, you know, that's that's

691
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: just how it is with with anything that changes in tech.

692
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: All right, now let's go to Carlos in van Ey's Carlos,

693
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich on Tech? What's up?

694
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 6: Rich?

695
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 8: Congratulations a niche show. Uh, you know, it's better to

696
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 8: free meeting to listen to you on a Sunday, and

697
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 8: it is try to get you on a Friday when

698
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 8: you can do your podcast. But so congratulations on that.

699
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, I know the podcast was you know,

700
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: I typically did it on Fridays, but you know sometimes

701
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: it was all over the place, just depended on my

702
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: broadcast schedule. So the fact that this is a shift

703
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: that is a scheduled thing will be a lot better

704
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: for many many people. So what's on your mind today?

705
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 9: All right?

706
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 8: So I'm looking at getting a wireless doorbell. So have

707
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 8: you tested any of them that you feel that are

708
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 8: better than others.

709
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you've got a couple of players in

710
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: this area. You've got Google with the Nest, You've got Why's,

711
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: and you've got Ring, and so I think what it

712
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: really comes down to personally, I use Ring. In fact,

713
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: I just talked to Jamie yesterday, the guy who started Ring,

714
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: and I said to him, I said, Jamie, you did

715
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: pretty well, you know, because I remember meeting with him

716
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: when he first had his first doorbell, was called the

717
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: Doorbough and we tested it at Katla. This must have

718
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: been ten years ago, and you know, it was kind

719
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: of wonky. It was the first of its kind. And

720
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: I said, you know, you did pretty well. You know,

721
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: selling too Amazon for a billion dollars. And so I

722
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: think Ring, you know, they invented the genre. I think

723
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: that they have the most products that sort of work

724
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: around it. I think Whys is really good too, But

725
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: it just it kind of depends on what other smart

726
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: home stuff you have. Do you have any other products

727
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: from different companies? Do you have Alexa, do you have Amazon?

728
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 8: Do you have oh yeah, everything in the house. So

729
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 8: we have a Google Hub you know, we have Alexa

730
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 8: devices all over the place. So you know, my other

731
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 8: question I guess was on top of that is I

732
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 8: guess the monthly fee, you know, because that was my

733
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 8: biggest concern is that you know, you pay for the device,

734
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 8: but then you have a monthly fee that you have

735
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 8: to worry about, right, And.

736
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: I think that's why it comes down to the ecosystem

737
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: that you want to be in, because if you're on Ring,

738
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: you're going to pay you know, the ten dollars or

739
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month, depending on whether you have their

740
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: alarm system, and that will include all of your various

741
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: door bells and things like that. Wise obviously has their

742
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: own conventions for how they do it, and Nest I

743
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: think I pay like twelve bucks a month for that stuff.

744
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: So I think you have to kind of pick an

745
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: ecosystem and then go from there because once you start

746
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: mixing and matching, it's very complicated. Things will change later on,

747
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: but that's where we're at right now. Carlos, thanks so

748
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: much for your question. You are listening to Rich on Tech.

749
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: My name is rich Demiro. We'll have more of your

750
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: calls and more news tech news coming up. Welcome, back

751
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: to Rich on Tech. My name is Rich Dmiro and

752
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: this is the show we talk about the tech stuff

753
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: I think you should know about. It's also the place

754
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: where I answer the questions you ask me. If you're

755
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: just joining, you might be wondering what happened to Leo?

756
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: Where is Leo? Well, I hope he's sleeping in today.

757
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: After nineteen years, Leo Laporte has retired from this radio show.

758
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: And now you've got me. I am your guide through

759
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: all things tech. We're gonna have a great time. Today

760
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: is the beginning of something new, of something fun, something different.

761
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you can tell, but I'm

762
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: a pretty positive guy. I've got a pretty positive outlook

763
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: on things. And that's just the way I roll, you know.

764
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: I feel like we are all given this opportunity here

765
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: to just enjoy, right. And if you go through and

766
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and you're seeing everything in a negative

767
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: light and a critical light, I think critical is good.

768
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: I think negative is not good. There's a difference between

769
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: the two. It could be subtle sometimes, but it's there.

770
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: And yes, I am very critical of a lot of things.

771
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: And believe me, you should see me try to make

772
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: a decision about something. It doesn't come fast. You know,

773
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: my wife at the you know, anytime we have to

774
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: do something, whether it's book a plane ticket or you know,

775
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: just anything at a store, there's a lot of thought

776
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: that goes into it. And there's a reason for that,

777
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: because I am critical of the decisions I make and

778
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: the things that I do and the stuff that I

779
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: put in my life. And that's all for a reason, because,

780
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: like I said, we get one chance to be here,

781
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: and I want to make it as good as possible.

782
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: And I hope that you joining me here today is

783
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: part of that journey, part of that excitement, and part

784
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: of that positivity. We're going to talk about tech. I mean,

785
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: that's what this show is all about.

786
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 7: Uh.

787
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: But you're not gonna hear me, you know, complain about

788
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: a lot of things. I mean, now you'll probably hear

789
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: me go off some sometimes about stuff. Believe me, if

790
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: you've listened to my podcast, you know I get on

791
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: a tangent sometimes when it comes to stuff that I

792
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: get a little angry about, especially when tech companies push

793
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: us into a corner. I don't like that. The phone

794

805
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: of fun to do it all because during the week

806
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: I see so much stuff, you know, come through my desk,

807
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: and it's like, now I get some time to really

808
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: talk to you about it in depth. And TV is great,

809
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: but it's quick. You know, you say that what did

810
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: he just say? What was that? Hold on? That looks

811
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: really cool? And now you've got think of this as

812
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: office hours, Right, you see something cool on TV? Hey,

813
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: Rich can I ask you more about that?

814
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: Sure?

815
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: A couple of things happening this week that are interesting.

816
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: Apple Fitness Plus this is a great way. If you

817
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: haven't tested this or tried it out, give it a chance.

818
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: It's the new year. I know everyone's joining a gym

819
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: right now. But you know, this is something that you

820
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: can do with your phone. With it, it used to

821
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: require an Apple Watch, so if you haven't looked at

822
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: it in a while, it no longer requires an Apple Watch.

823
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: It used to that was like your your ticket in.

824
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: You don't need that anymore. You just need an iPhone

825
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: or I think an iPad as well. But Apple Fitness

826
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: Plus is sort of Apple's online fitness clos and it

827
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: of course has a high tech twist. It gives your

828
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, data from the Apple Watch if you have

829
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: one of those. But it's really well done and I

830
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: think this this got me through the pandemic. They launched

831
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: it during the pandemic when you know, nobody could go

832
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: to the gym. They didn't do that on purpose, It

833
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: just timed out that way, and so I started doing

834
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: it during the pandemic and it was fantastic. And you know,

835
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: I did also the Peloton stuff. But I go back

836
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: and forth between Apple Fitness. I think they're really good

837
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: for their classes and I really like Peloton for the

838
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: actual bike workouts and the running workouts. So you kind

839
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 1: of can choose what you want. But anyway, Beginning January ninth,

840
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: that's in a couple of days here, Apple Fitness Plus

841
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: will introduce a new workout, kickboxing. I've never done that before,

842
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: so you can try kickboxing now. You know, it can

843
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: be intimidating to do one of these classes at a

844
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: big gym, right. I remember the first time I went

845
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: to like a spin class at the gym. It was

846
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: so intimidating. I don't think I ever went again, because

847
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: you know, how do you clip those shoes on? How

848
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: do you do the bike? How do you adjust this stuff?

849
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: Like you feel like, oh, everyone knows what they're doing

850
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: and I don't, And so it could be really alienating

851
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: at a gym to try new things and to even

852
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: use a piece of equipment that you've never used before,

853
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: because there's always someone else that's like, hey, can I

854
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: get on there? I know what I'm doing, and you're

855
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: looking around like, am I the only person that doesn't

856
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing in here? So this could be

857
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: a good way to try kickboxing. So, starting January ninth,

858
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: Fitness Plus is adding kickboxing as a new total body

859
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: cardio workout type. You don't need any equipment. Workouts are ten,

860
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: twenty or thirty minutes and that's What I love about

861
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: Apple Fitness Plus is that you basically it's almost like

862
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: a search engine for workouts, so you can narrow down

863
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: and say, oh, I've got a pair of dumbells, I'll

864
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: use those, or I want to do upper body, or

865
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: I want to do lower body, or I want to

866
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: do ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes. It's really fantastic,

867
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: So check that out. My favorite are the strength training

868
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: workouts on there, because you know, they teach you how

869
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: to do the stuff that you're doing and it doesn't

870
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: really require much equipment at all, maybe a couple of,

871
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, dumbbells. They also have this new sleep meditation,

872
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: so I know, sleep is becoming like a thing, right.

873
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's always been a thing, but we're seeing

874
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: more of an emphasis on the health benefits of good sleep.

875
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: And I think some of that's partly due to the

876
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: wearables that we're seeing, like the Aura ring and of

877
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: course the Apple Watch and all the other wearables that

878
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: measure your sleep, and so people are interested in how

879
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 1: am I sleeping. Oh, I got a bad night's sleep

880
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: last night because I went out all night and I

881
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: went bed late, or I got a good night's sleep

882
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: because I took care of myself before I went to

883
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: bed and it was kind of nice to, you know,

884
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 1: relax without my screen for an hour. So we're learning

885
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: that sleep could be good for us. And so with

886
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: that in mind, now there is a brand new sleep

887
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: meditation theme, and so they've got nine other themes for meditation,

888
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: including calm, gratitude, resilience, and creativity. But they're going to

889
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: do new sleep meditations every week. So that's a good

890
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: way I might try that. I, because I wake up

891
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: so early on a daily basis, don't really have trouble

892
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: sleeping when you're so exhausted at the end of the day.

893
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: He just kind of collapse into bed. But you know,

894
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: there there are days when you're like I could use

895
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: like a disconnection from the world for a couple of

896
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: minutes before I turned down. And finally, Apple Fitness Plus

897
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: will have new episodes of Time to Walk. I really

898
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: discounted Time to Walk when it came out. It came

899
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: out during the pandemic, and I was like, I don't

900
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: need to walk to someone talking to me, and it

901
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: took me a while. I actually started trying it when

902
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: they did Time to Run, and I was like, all right,

903
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: running's kind of more my thing. I'm a big runner.

904
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: I love running. Let me try running with one of

905
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: these audio guided experiences, and I fell in love with it.

906
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: It's such a great thing. If you haven't tried it,

907
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: give it a chance. But walk is basically very similar.

908
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: It's you know, you any you know, you go outside,

909
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: you walk. You pop one of these things on and

910
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: they're adding you know different. They're not always celebrities, but

911
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: they're important people, notable people. And Jamie Lee Curtis is

912
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: going to be new She's gonna kick off the fifth

913
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: season of This Time to Walk And basically every week

914
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: there's a different person that you can walk with and

915
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: you kind of learn from them. They play music, they talk.

916
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: It's really cool. I mean, if you like the person,

917
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: it's like bonus points. Otherwise you learn. Jason Siegel made

918

922
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: So again, check it out. Apple Fitness Plus is not free,

923
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: but you can often get a free trial if you

924
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: have the Target app. They're like almost a Target and

925
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: Best Buy are always offering like free trials for this,

926
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: so check that out. Otherwise, it's ten bucks a month

927
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: or eighty dollars a year for Apple Fitness Plus. All right,

928
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: speaking of free tea, Mobile and Delta Airlines teaming up

929
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: to give all passengers free in flight Wi Fi. Now

930
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: I love this. I've watched Wi fi go from non

931
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: existent on flights to very expensive on flights, too cheaper,

932
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: like on my last United flight it was like eight

933
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: bucks to now free. So Delta sky Miles members will

934
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: get free WiFi. Oh there's the catch, you got to

935
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: be a sky Miles member. Well, it's free to sign

936
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: up and you could actually do it on the plane.

937
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: So beginning February first, you will get free Wi Fi.

938
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: There's no really no strings here. You'll get to connect

939
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: your tablet, your phone, your laptop, whatever you need. And

940
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: the best part is if you forget to sign up

941
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: for sky Miles on the ground, you can actually sign

942
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: up for free while you're on the plane. Now, this

943
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: is sponsored by T Mobile. So do we know if

944
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: this is something that's permanent or if it's something that's

945
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, you know, something that may expire after T

946
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: Mobile says all right, we're done. But the reality is

947
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: this is amazing. I used to think that the plane

948
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: was like the last kind of quiet time where you

949
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: can disconnect from the world because you didn't have Internet.

950
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: But you know, as I get older and more war

951
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: and it's just it's a time where maybe you just

952
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: want to be connected and check your messages and do things.

953
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of nice to have that Wi Fi connection.

954
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: So next time you're on a Delta flight, starting February,

955
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: first free Wi Fi thanks to T Mobile, you don't

956
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: have to be a T Mobile customer. And I think

957
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 1: what's great about this is hopefully, hopefully it'll push more

958
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: airlines to offer free Wi Fi. I know Jet Blue does,

959
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: but among the major carriers now, Delta is the first

960
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: to do that. All right, once again, my name is

1006
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: I mean it's a new start. I mean I've been

1007
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: doing TV for I don't want to say how many years,

1008
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: but a lot. I mean, when do you get to, like,

1009
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, midway through your career, start something completely new

1010
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: and different And TV's not going away. By the way,

1011
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: people have been asking me, like, wait, are you are

1012
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,719

1013

1014
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: No, no, like that's the plan is to do both,

1015
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: like I'm not trying to, you know, do one or

1016
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: the other. Like it's I think the beauty is to

1017
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: do both because it's so fun to have both things happening.

1018

Speaker 9: Okay, there is there is.

1022
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 10: I like to keep my personal living address as private

1023
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 10: as possible.

1024
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: Absolutely so.

1025
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 10: For example, the company I work for, I give them

1026
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 10: a PO box.

1027
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: Yep, Okay, they're like, now, what what's Lala doing that

1028
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: she needs to give us a PO box?

1029
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 9: Yeah exactly, exactly.

1030
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 10: Well, you know everyone has a good human resources company

1031
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 10: that keeps everything confidential, right, yeah hopefully, so you know

1032
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 10: how that goes. And there is a situation I was

1033
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 10: in several years ago that someone got my home address

1034
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 10: and it was not fun.

1035
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get it, I believe me. I privacy

1036
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: is a huge important tenant of life, and it's it's

1037
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: eroding with the internet. So so correct, what do you

1038
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: want to do? You want the PO box?

1039
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 10: And what I understand that if someone really wanted to

1040
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 10: find out my mailing address. They really could because everything.

1041
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 9: Is out there.

1042
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 10: I understand that. But the USPS is now raising once

1043
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 10: again for the second year in a row, the price.

1044
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 9: Of PO boxes.

1045
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 10: The very very smallest PO box, I pay them forty

1046
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 10: two dollars for a month.

1047
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's a lot.

1048
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 10: So I'm wondering what you know about I postal one

1049
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 10: which is a virtual PO box, okay, or anything that

1050
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 10: I can do well?

1051
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: And how much are they charging.

1052
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 10: Nine a month for thirty pieces of items or less?

1053
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 10: And you could they scan them in for you?

1054
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:54,479
Speaker 1: Yep?

1055
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 10: You could go down to the address and actually pick

1056
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 10: them up.

1057
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: Yep if you need to, yep. And okay. So looking

1058
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 1: this one up, it says over twenty five hundred locations worldwide.

1059
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: Is there a location near you that you can pick

1060
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: up your physical stuff from?

1061
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 9: There is actually in a staple?

1062
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: Oh oh interesting. Oh that's smart that they kind of

1063
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: partnered with them. I think it's a great idea. I

1064
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: think that it's smart. And I actually watched an entire

1065
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: there's a series about a startup that was doing this,

1066
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: and you know, this was a couple of years ago.

1067
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 1: But you know, the big thing is it's tricky, and

1068
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that that address lasts for

1069
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: a while because it's kind of a pain to switch

1070
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: your address very often and you don't want to have

1071
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 1: to do that. So the way that these work typically

1072
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: is that you know, you sign up for one of

1073
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: these virtual mailbox services, They get your mail, they scan

1074
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: your mail in so you can see if it's important

1075
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: and if their system is good, you know, you can

1076
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: just trash mail virtually, like right from your app or

1077
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: your desktop and say, okay, you can throw that out.

1078
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: You can throw that out. Oh, that one I actually

1079
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: need to go grab from the box, and then of

1080
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: course you may be able to get packages there depending

1081
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: on your plan. I think it's great. I think it's

1082
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: something that you should do if you trust the company.

1083
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: The fact that this ipostal one has twenty five hundred

1084
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: locations is a good sign because the main thing is

1085
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: that you just want this to be around for a while,

1086
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 1: and they're saying that the according to their website, the

1087
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: number one digital mailbox service worldwide. Now, the downside is

1088
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: you just need to know what this plan includes, so

1089
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: it may not include certain things, you know, and that's

1090
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: that's what kind of you have to look at for

1091
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: that nine to ninety nine a month, like, what do

1092
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: they give you? You know, do you get packages there? Can

1093
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: you get mail there? I'm looking at this maximum names

1094
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: per address one personal name. You know, receive first class

1095
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: mail in packages, So it looks like you can get

1096
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Now I'm looking here. It says free

1097
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: storage is thirty days and that's for mail, and then

1098
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: free storage for boxes ten days and that depends on

1099
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: the side to the box, and then five days for

1100
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: really big boxes. And of course you can probably pay

1101
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: more for them to forward you this mail if you

1102
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: don't want to go in, So this is probably good

1103
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: of also for someone who has like an RV or

1104
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: travels a lot. I've had a Peo box pretty much

1105
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: my entire life because I find it to be very

1106
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: convenient and it's simple and you can give out that

1107
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: address without worrying. When I publish my book there, you know,

1108
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: people could come and they could pick up the book

1109
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: if I signed it, they could just go there and

1110
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: grab it. So there's many, many benefits to having a

1111
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: Peo box. I think virtual is a next logical step,

1112
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: and what you're really paying for is that service that

1113
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: allows them to scan your documents, and let's be honest,

1114
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the mail we get physical mail

1115
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: you don't really need, you know, it goes right into

1116
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: the trash. And so they're banking on the fact that

1117
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 1: most of the mail they don't have to store. They

1118
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: just scan it. It goes in and you can look

1119
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: it out on your app and sort of flick it

1120
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: left or right, kind of like a Tinder for mail.

1121
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: Do I need this? Yes? Do I not need that?

1122
00:53:58,360 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 10: No?

1123
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: So great question, la la. I say, go for it

1124
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: and let me know how it goes, and maybe I'm

1125
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: going to look into this. This is kind of a

1126
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: good idea. So cool. Thanks so much for listening. This

1127

1135
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: DeMuro and uh just got back from CS twenty twenty

1136
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: three in Las Vegas, and so much to see there.

1137
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just no way one human being can

1138
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: see it all. And I was there for a week

1139
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, and uh, you know, I try my best,

1140
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: but there is just I mean, I think over three

1141
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: thousand exhibitors this year, not to mention the crowds. Not

1142
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: to mention, it's spread all of cross Las Vegas. It's

1143
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: not just in one place. You know, it's in the

1144
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: convention Center. There's also the new part of the convention

1145
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: Center that is like a ten minute walk from the

1146
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: old convention center. And then you've got the hotels and

1147
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,959
Speaker 1: the hotel rooms and the suites, and then you've got

1148
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: the ballrooms. I mean there's a lot. I think one

1149
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: day I did what I do, twenty thousand steps in

1150
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: one day. That's I think that's a lot. Anyway, don't

1151
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: worry about me. I thought it was fun to walk

1152
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: all these things. But one thing I saw that was

1153
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: pretty cool. LG new refrigerator called the mood Up and

1154
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: this is just you know, it's look, I don't expect

1155
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: you to buy this refrigerator tomorrow. But what I love

1156
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: about stuff like this is it just shows that this

1157
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: is what's going to happen in the future, Like why

1158
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: choose the color of your refrigerator when you don't have

1159
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 1: to when you can change it? And so the mood

1160
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: up has four panels on it, and each one of

1161
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: these panels is an LED screen, so it's not like

1162
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: a computer screen per se, but it's an LED panel

1163
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: that lets you change the color. So it's kind of

1164
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: like a matte finish on the panel. If you don't

1165
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: want it to be a wild and wacky color, then

1166
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: it can just kind of blend in as a standard

1167
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: refrigerator color, whatever that may be for you and your kitchen.

1168
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: But if you want to have some fun, you can

1169
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: choose from twenty two colors for the upper refrigerator and

1170
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: nineteen for the lower. I don't know why the differential there,

1171
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: Like why can you only do twenty two on the

1172
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: top and nineteen on the bottom. I'm not sure, but

1173
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: the top is the refrigerator and the lower is the freezer.

1174
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: You can also have themes season Place healing and pop Healing.

1175
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: Elicits a feeling of well being through the use of

1176
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: soft soothing colors, creating a calming mindfulness space mindfulness that's

1177
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: a word we've heard a lot about. I thought this

1178
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: was pretty neat. It's just neat to be able to

1179
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: change the color. You can have some fun. Obviously, it

1180
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: can do different things. There's also built in Bluetooth, so

1181
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:01,240
Speaker 1: you can connect this to a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop,

1182
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: or a PC and listen to music from your favorite

1183
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: streaming apps, so if you want to, you know, if

1184
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: you don't have like a dedicated speaker in the kitchen.

1185
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: You know, people gather in the kitchen when you have

1186
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: a get together. No matter where you put the your doors,

1187
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: people always seem to come back to the kitchen and

1188
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: stay there. I don't know why. It's just the way

1189
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: it is. It's just the place. It's the one place

1190
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: in the house that was never intended for people to

1191
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: hang out in. And yet every single time you have

1192
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: people over, where do you hang out in the kitchen?

1193
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's just the way it is. I

1194
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: don't mind it. You can stream music. Let's see what

1195
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 1: else can you do? You can have notifications from your door,

1196
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: so if you leave the door open. You know, you've

1197
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: ever like left your refrigerator door open just slightly, and

1198
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: it's you know, emitting all that cold air into your house. Well,

1199
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,479
Speaker 1: now the refrigerator door can blink to let you know, hey,

1200
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: this is not fully closed. My mom always said that

1201
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: it costs a nickel every time you open the refrigerator door.

1202
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: And so I do not keep the refrigerator door open

1203
00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: for very long. You know, I'm not one of those

1204
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: people that just linger and looks like no, no, I

1205
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: go into the fridge. I open that door with purpose.

1206
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'm getting, I know where to

1207
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: look for it, and it's closed within seconds. Because you know,

1208
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: that's the way I grew up. He didn't leave the

1209
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: refrigerator door opened very long. It also has motion sensor,

1210
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: so it knows when someone walks into the kitchen, so

1211
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: it can blink kind of like a little welcoming blinking

1212
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: light when you walk into the kitchen, saying like oh, hey, fridge,

1213
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: I know you're here. I see you. From midnight snackers,

1214
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: the freezer door can illuminate brighter at night time to

1215
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: help you guide your way to the fridge. Does anyone

1216
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: really midnight snack? This is like something that's just sort

1217
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: of overplayed in like you know, stories and TV shows.

1218
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: No one actually midnight snacks do they. I can think

1219
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: of like zero times in my life when I got

1220
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night and got a

1221
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: midnight snack. If you challenge me on that, gimme a call.

1222
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one oh one. I've gotten up in

1223
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the night and I've watched like an

1224
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: episode of a TV show, like if I can't sleep,

1225
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: and I told you, most of the time this doesn't happen,

1226
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: but if it does, I will get up. And I'm

1227
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: the kind of person that will just sit in front

1228
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: of the TV and watch an episode of Seinfeld or

1229
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: something like. I'm like, I'm using my time, and then

1230
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'll fall asleep after that. But I'm not

1231
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: going to just sit there and like toss and turn

1232
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: forever and again. Once the refrigerator is you know, if

1233
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: you don't want the color, you can just do Lux

1234
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: gray or Lucks white, pricing all that stuff. Not really

1235
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: sure on this new mood up TV from LG, but

1236
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: kind of cool. I'm digging it. I think that some

1237
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: of the stuff we see coming out is it seems

1238
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: like it could be hokey, but at the same time,

1239
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: why not. I think that it'd be kind of cool.

1240
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: To be able to color change my fridge, especially if

1241
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: you have people over them. We all have those color

1242
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: changing lights, or a lot of us do. So why

1243
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: not Mark is in Houston. Mark, you're on with Rich

1244
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: on Tech. What's up? Mark? You're on?

1245
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1246
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 11: Hey, Rich congratulations on your new show.

1247
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks, I appreciate it. What's going on?

1248
00:59:58,960 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 3: Missed?

1249
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 11: But I think it's pick the right guy for the

1250
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 11: to take over.

1251
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I appreciate those words.

1252
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 11: Yes, considering a new phone, and I might even switch plans.

1253
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 11: And I know T Mobile. I know I'm jumping the

1254
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 11: gun a little early in the game. It may not

1255
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 11: happen for about a year, but I know T Mobile's

1256
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 11: teaming up with Starlink, and I'm just curious what that's

1257
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 11: going to do for their service. Are you going to

1258
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 11: get much better service than other network?

1259
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: Good question? So, yeah, the idea is that T Mobile

1260
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: announced this with Starlink, I don't know, a couple months ago.

1261
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: And you know, the idea is that Starlink has this

1262
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: nice network that's built out with satellites, actually an Elon

1263
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: Musk venture, and you know you're gonna get better. I

1264
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: think they said it was just messaging on the phone

1265
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: at this point, and here's the deal. Like, I wouldn't

1266
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: put much stock into this right now because there's not

1267
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: much that they announced that you can do with it.

1268
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: You know, you may have extra signal in certain places,

1269
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously this starlink covers like everything, but

1270
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: the reality is, you know, I think with the iPhone

1271
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: adding satellite capability to their phone, for most people in

1272
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: most situations, that's probably going to be enough. I think

1273
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: that starlink with T Mobile once they get this up

1274
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: and running, which by the way, is going to take

1275
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: a while. And also we may not see support from

1276
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: every phone. Did they announce that they're going to have

1277
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: every phone compatible with this, because it probably will require

1278
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: a different antenna, I don't know. With this technology, T

1279
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: Mobile planning to give customers text coverage practically everywhere in

1280
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: the continental US, Hawaii and parts of Alaska, Puerto Rico,

1281
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: and waters even outside of T Mobile signal. So you know, again,

1282
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: it would be just messaging which is already available through

1283
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: the iPhone on the iPhone fourteen with satellite right now,

1284
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: to anyone has an iPhone fourteen, this is not even

1285
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: available yet, and it's planned and it's text messaging, which

1286
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: is great, which Apple is just giving you emergency messaging,

1287
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: so that's another differentiator here. But eventually T Mobile and

1288
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Starlink will give voice and data coverage. But that's eventually,

1289
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: that's like beyond beyond, So this is early thing. I

1290
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: think that they wanted to build some buzz for this

1291
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: new feature, and I think it's cool, and I think

1292
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: it just again goes to show what's coming, but it's

1293
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: not here. And I don't think that you choose your

1294
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: carrier based on this. I think that if you want

1295
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: the satellite technology for peace of mind right now, I

1296
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,919
Speaker 1: think the iPhone is the only game in town, and

1297
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: the iPhone fourteen models specifically with the satellite over SOS,

1298
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: and it's slow, and that's probably the way this one's

1299
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: going to be. It's a slow process to connect, it's

1300
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: a slow process to send messages. But the idea and

1301
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the reality is that it's already saved lives, it will

1302
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: continue to save lives, and we will have connectivity at

1303
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: this point. If you have an iPhone fourteen, you're pretty

1304
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 1: much never disconnected from help anywhere you are in the US,

1305
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: and that's the idea here with T Mobile as well

1306
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,479
Speaker 1: in the US and other places that you'll be able

1307
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: to not only get help but also text people as well.

1308
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: But it's a long ways off, and I think it's

1309
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: a little confusing because people might think they have this

1310
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: already or we're on the cusp of it. But with

1311
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: Team Mobile, they didn't really say what the timeline is

1312
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: on this, so it's going to be a bit and

1313
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: I think that you choose the carrier. I always give

1314
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,479
Speaker 1: people the advice choose the carrier that works best where

1315
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: you live and where you work. Talk to some folks

1316
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: and see where those two things are, and that's the

1317
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: best carrier for you right now. If you're upgrading your phone,

1318
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: good question. Thanks for calling in, Mark from Houston, Texas.

1319
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: Rich tamiro here with you on a rich on Tech Saturday.

1320
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: We'll have more of your calls. Plus we'll talk about

1321
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: the gadget that helps you talk to your pet. Coming up.

1322
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,439
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech Omrich damiro answering your

1323
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: tech questions and talking about important topics happening in the

1324
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: tech world. Let's go to Angie in Huntington Beach. Angie,

1325
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: I think we got disconnected your back.

1326
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 9: Hey, Rick, thank you so much. I think I timed

1327
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:19,919
Speaker 9: out on my weight. I don't know.

1328
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: Anyway it happens.

1329
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 9: I'm really happy to be talking to you, and I

1330
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 9: listen to you every morning on KTLA or I try

1331
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:28,919
Speaker 9: to anyway every time you're there.

1332
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you. I appreciate that.

1333
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,439
Speaker 9: I appreciate everything you've been doing. I'm so happy you've

1334
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 9: got this program going. Me too. So I am at

1335
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 9: the age where I had to get my very first

1336
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 9: hearing made okay, and it's it's really miniaturized, and I'm

1337
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 9: fased with a situation where I have to it goes

1338
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 9: over my ear, and then I have glasses to go

1339
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 9: over my ear, and then sometimes I have to wear

1340
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 9: masks that go over my ear. And guess what happens

1341
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 9: to the hearing.

1342
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Yep, I can already predict. The mask of course messes

1343
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: with the hearing aid. It falls off, You lose.

1344
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 9: It exactly, and it's very expensive. And guess what. They

1345
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 9: don't have any kind of a tracking mechanism. And I

1346
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 9: was just wondering if that's just one of most companies.

1347
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 9: Hearing aid companies don't have a tracking mechanism.

1348
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 1: Are these over the counter hearing aids?

1349
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 9: No? No, this is from a doctor.

1350
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, these.

1351
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 9: Are the real expensive one.

1352
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: Mm interesting and are they Bluetooth or they just standard

1353
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: like they're not they don't have that, are they? What

1354
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: do they work with your iPhone?

1355
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 9: Yeah? I have an app that connects with it. I

1356
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 9: have an Android.

1357
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,080
Speaker 1: Okay. Interesting. So I mean some you know, some of

1358
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: the newer hearing aids they have, you know, connections to

1359
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: the iPhone or Android. You may investigate in there for

1360
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: a way to you know, and did you look in

1361
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: there and it didn't didn't say anything.

1362
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 9: I did, and there wasn't any way for it to find

1363
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 9: my hearing aid.

1364
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's frustrating. So it just may be that you

1365
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:24,439
Speaker 1: don't have that capability in this hearing aid. It could

1366
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 1: be something they add with software. I mean, if it's

1367
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: connecting to your iPhone, that means there is some technology

1368
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: that could potentially allow it to be you know, for

1369
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: the phone to know like, oh wait, we lost the

1370
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: connection to this device, it's gone missing and alert you.

1371
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: So that's a possibility, but it sounds like it's not

1372
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: there right now. When it comes to like adding a

1373
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: third party sort of like tracking device to this, I

1374
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: don't see that being a possibility. The tracking devices are small,

1375
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: but they're not that small, and there's no way that

1376
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: you would be able to put something like an air

1377
01:06:56,320 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: tag on this or any sort of you know, even tile.

1378
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: They're just not small enough to work with this. Now

1379
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: on the flip side, the trend we're seeing is that

1380
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: more and more companies are building what's called fine My,

1381
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: which is Apple's branded location you know, tracking into devices.

1382
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: And so it could be that, you know, it could

1383
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: be as simple as a software update, or it could

1384
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: be simple, or it could be you know, a future

1385
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: pair that you get. But you said, these are very expensive,

1386
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: so I don't imagine you're wanting to get a different

1387
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: style or pair anytime soon, right, you know, it might.

1388
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 9: Be possible for me to get a new phone that

1389
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 9: might have.

1390
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Have you talked to your provider about whether these may

1391
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: work better? Because there is something there is something specific

1392
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: to iPhone that's called like made for for iPhone hearing

1393
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: aids and that may have more of what you want

1394
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: in there. So have you talked to your provider about

1395
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: this functionality and whether they have it?

1396
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 9: I think I no, I haven't, and I'm going to

1397
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 9: do that.

1398
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I would do, and just seeing they

1399
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: may say oh, well, we just assumed you had an

1400
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: iPhone and you were using that feature. Because if you said,

1401
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, if these things are expensive and they you know,

1402
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: they're new and modern, they may very well have this

1403
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: feature built in that you're just not able to tap into.

1404
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes Android and iPhone, the apps and the functionality with

1405
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: different devices could be very different depending on how that

1406
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 1: company codes what you're able to do there. So I

1407
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: would check there, what are you going to do in

1408
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: the meantime, I mean, how have you actually like lost

1409
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: these where you've gone like, oh no, where is this?

1410
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: Or has it just been like you've noticed that they've

1411
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 1: fallen off?

1412
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 9: Well, one time I found them. One time another person

1413
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 9: found them.

1414
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, so it was lucky.

1415
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:49,719
Speaker 9: Out and I have insurance to replace them one time.

1416
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: Right, But and I'm going.

1417
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 9: To talk to my audiologists, because my audiologists really should

1418
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 9: know about these things.

1419
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I think you start there and talk

1420
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: with them and if they say, hey, look, you know

1421
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: this is something that may we've seen it, you know,

1422
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 1: on only one model, or it's you know, definitely a

1423
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: trend we're seeing with more and more models. But see

1424
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: what they say, and they may have a solution. But

1425
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: when it comes to anything that you can do differently,

1426
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: there's not really much. I mean, it's it's you know,

1427
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: and I'm sure if you just got these for the

1428
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: first time, you're probably getting used to them, and that's

1429
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: probably contributing to, you know, whether you feel them on

1430
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: your ears or not. And so I think that that's

1431
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: all probably part of why you've lost them a couple

1432
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: of times. It's like anything else, you know, you're still

1433
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 1: getting into the into it, you know what I mean,

1434
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,520
Speaker 1: And so it may be a while before you say, oh,

1435
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 1: I just hold on, I took off my mask and

1436
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,640
Speaker 1: these things. Where did they go?

1437
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 5: So?

1438
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: Are they helping?

1439
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 10: Though?

1440
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: That's the important part, is it? Are they helping?

1441
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 3: Oh?

1442
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it makes a difference.

1443
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: Good. That's good to hear. Well, Angie, thanks for calling

1444
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: on this very first show.

1445
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 9: I appreciate it well and thank you for letting me

1446
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 9: call back.

1447
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: All right, thanks a lot. I don't know what happened,

1448
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: but it might have been me, it might have been you,

1449
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: but we'll just say it was me, okay, But.

1450
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 9: We talked and I'm happy about it. Thank you so much.

1451
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: All right, I'll see on TV. Thanks a lot, See bye,

1452
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 1: all right. Interesting question. Yeah, I mean that's that's the

1453
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,759
Speaker 1: beauty of this show is that we can get questions

1454
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: in a wide range of topics, and I find it fascinating.

1455
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: The hearing aids, especially the over the counter is really

1456
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: I mean, the FDA just approved over the counter hearing aids,

1457
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: and so we're going to see a lot more tech

1458
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: involved in hearing aids and a lot more innovation when

1459
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: it comes to hearing aids because of that. You know,

1460
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: this is this is an industry that used to be

1461
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: controlled by just a few players, and now that pretty

1462
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 1: much they've opened it up to many, many different companies

1463
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: able to offer these things immediately over the counter without

1464
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: a prescription. You know it's going to change things.

1465
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 9: Now.

1466
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you go out tomorrow and buy these

1467
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: over the counter. I think there are some things you

1468
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: should talk to an audiologist about before you put something

1469
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: in your ears full time or use these, because you

1470
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: know it's still your ears and it's still a part

1471
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: of your body. That's very important, and so I would

1472
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:11,839
Speaker 1: still consult with a pro before I did something like that. Okay,

1473
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: something fun I saw at CES this. If you're a

1474
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: pet lover, you're gonna like this story. This is a

1475
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: device called Fluent Pets. Okay, and I saw this in person,

1476
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: and you know, look, we all want our pets to

1477
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: talk with us. We talked to pets, do they always

1478
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: talk back? Not necessarily. I mean, we can communicate with

1479
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 1: them in our own way. But this Fluent pet, it's

1480
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: called fluent Pet connect, allows you to let your pet

1481
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: talk to you. And here's how it works. So it's

1482
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: a bunch of these recordable sound buttons and you place

1483
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: them on sort of this board of interlocking tiles. They

1484
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: look like a rubber matt almost, and you program this

1485
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: button to say something in your voice, so you can

1486
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 1: say something like water or bone. And then guess what

1487
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 1: you see where this is going. When your pet wants

1488
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: water or a bone, what do they do? They press

1489
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,759
Speaker 1: this button. So you teach them to press this button

1490
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 1: that then sounds your voice when they want something. And

1491
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: I watched this dog do this when the trainer showed

1492
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: the dog two different toys. One was a ball, one

1493
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,759
Speaker 1: was one of those like sort of you know, cloth bones.

1494
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: The dog pressed the right button and it took a

1495
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: little bit for the dog to do it, but it

1496
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 1: did it. Now that's a visual thing, but eventually, I

1497
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 1: think you know, if your dog already goes like to

1498
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:34,759
Speaker 1: the door when they want to go to the bathroom,

1499
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: it's not a big leap to think that you can

1500
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 1: do this. The system is one hundred and sixty dollars,

1501
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 1: the tiles are seventy. It's going to be available in

1502
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: February twenty twenty three. Again, it's called Fluent Pet Connect.

1503
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: If you want your pet to talk to you, well,

1504
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: look at it. That's going to do it. For this

1505
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 1: hour of the show, Hour number two of the brand

1506
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: new rich On Tech Show is in the books. Next hour,

1507
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to an expert about what you

1508
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: need to do now that last pass has been hacked.

1509
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: More of your calls and more tech coming up. Welcome back.

1510
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to rich on Tech. I'm Rich Demiro, and

1511
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: this is the show where we talk about the tech

1512
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: stuff I think you should know about. It's also the

1513
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: place where I answer your questions. Phone lines are open

1514
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 1: at triple eight Rich one oh one. Now you're probably wondering,

1515
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:24,560
Speaker 1: if you're just tuning in, what happened to Leo Laporte.

1516
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 1: He's well, he's just retired from radio, so after nineteen

1517
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: years he gets to sleep in. And now you've got me.

1518
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 1: I'm your new guide for all things technology right here.

1519
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,759
Speaker 1: I'm also the host on KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles,

1520
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: where I do a tech report. I've been doing that

1521
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: for many many years there, and now in addition to that,

1522
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: I will be doing this. So think of this as

1523
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: sort of your office hours. You can see me on

1524
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: TV and you can now call me to get my

1525
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: opinion on things. And yeah, sometimes it's just straight up

1526
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: my opinion. It'll be based in fact. Sometimes it's just

1527
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: kind of what I like. Sometimes it's obviously comparisons and

1528
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: knowledge that I bring to the table. You can find

1529
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 1: me on social media. I am on Instagram, Twitter, and

1530
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Facebook at rich on Tech and my website is rich

1531
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: on tech dot tv. So join me there. I have

1532
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: a lot of fun on my Instagram, especially, you know,

1533
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,839
Speaker 1: it's not always tech. You know, like yesterday I posted

1534
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 1: birthday cake kitkats. Have you ever seen those? I never did,

1535
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,600
Speaker 1: and I was tempted. I didn't buy them, but I

1536
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 1: was very tempted. I'm a sucker sometimes for all these

1537
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: like you know, anything like funfetti flavor. Let's be honest,

1538
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: you know, I think Funfetti is a you know, they're

1539
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: wondering how pumpkin spice became so big, right, They're like, Ah,

1540
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 1: we have this flavor that's really good, but why did

1541
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 1: pumpkin spice become so popular? I think Funfetti has the

1542
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: ability to do that same thing.

1543
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 5: Now.

1544
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: I just got back from CEES and this is like,

1545
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, the biggest tech show in the world. You've

1546
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: got techy people there, and so I figured, you know,

1547
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: historically it's a place where you exchange a lot of

1548
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: business cards, right, And I'm a tech guy, So I'm like,

1549
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 1: I can't have a physical business card, Like come on,

1550
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: I do, and I've had the same ones for many years,

1551
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 1: and I'm always like hesitant to give them out because

1552
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, shouldn't we be doing something smarter, better and

1553
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 1: more efficient than a piece of paper that we cut

1554
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: and print with stuff? And so before CES, the night before,

1555
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,560
Speaker 1: I tested three different digital business card apps, cause I

1556
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I'm going to try to

1557
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: use a digital business card and I'll just cut to

1558
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: the chase here. I'll just tell you no one likes

1559
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: digital business cards. It's just a fact of life. And

1560
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why this is what I realized in

1561
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: trying to share my digital business cards so many times,

1562
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: is that when you're sharing a card with someone, it

1563
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: is a quick thing where basically you say, oh, and

1564
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 1: here's my card, give me a call, get in touch,

1565
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: let's hang out, let's do business whatever, and they take

1566
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: it and they put it in pocket and they forget

1567
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: about it until they get home they empty their pocket

1568
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 1: and say, oh, yeah, I need to call Rich. Let

1569
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: me put his number in my phone, or let me

1570
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: email him, or let me look him up. Whatever it is.

1571
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: With a digital business card, people need to take action immediately,

1572
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: and that is what breaks this whole business business card

1573
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: continuum because nobody wants to do something in that moment

1574
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: because the next person is walking up to them, or they're,

1575
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, doing something next on their calendar, or they're

1576
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: going to their next meeting. They don't have time to

1577
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 1: deal with your contact information at that very moment. So

1578
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: I tested three of these things. The first is called

1579
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 1: Popple popl and the way that a lot of these

1580
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: does keep messing up on that digital business cards work

1581
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: is that you can scan a QR code and then

1582
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 1: I'll bring up your information. You can text someone your

1583
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: digital information. Usually it's a link to your digital business card.

1584
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: You can email them your business card. There's a lot

1585
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: of ways to share, and most of these apps support

1586
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: all the different ways. So, for instance, Popple actually the

1587
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: way that they started and it's popl This was a

1588
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: physical device like a little sticker that you could put

1589
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: on the back of your iPhone. You could tap that

1590
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: to another iPhone or any NFC enabled phone and it

1591
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: would trigger your information to pop up on their phone.

1592
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: And so it was pretty cool. But now people have

1593
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 1: gotten very used to QR codes. We don't really need

1594
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: to tap anymore. You can just you know, scan someone

1595
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,680
Speaker 1: else's QR code, and so that's the primary method of

1596
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: sharing is a QR code. So you can put it

1597
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: in your Apple wallet, you can put it in your

1598
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: Google wallet, and then someone you know, you just pull

1599
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: up your QR code, someone scans it and now they

1600
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: have your information on their phone. But here's a thing.

1601
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 1: It typically just brings up a website, and on that

1602
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 1: website they have to do something, whether it's you know,

1603
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: download your information or follow you on Twitter or Instagram.

1604
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: So unless they're ready to do that at that very

1605
01:17:56,439 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: exact moment, it could be tricky, so Popolite says, probably

1606
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: the slickest out of all of these. It's probably the

1607
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: most like, you know, kind of the youngest, freshest looking

1608
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: app out of all of them. And many of these apps,

1609
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: by the way, have a customizable web page that's kind

1610
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: of your business card. But also it has like lead capture,

1611
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: so if you're like a salesperson that's constantly meeting new people,

1612
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: or anyone that's meeting new people and you want to

1613
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 1: remember how you met them, you can also capture their

1614
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: information so when they add their your card to their phone,

1615
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 1: you know, the card will prompt them and say, hey,

1616
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 1: do you want to send back your information a rich

1617
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 1: So poppol looks pretty slick, it works really well. It's

1618
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 1: probably one of my top picks for sure. And they

1619
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: just added this feature where you can have a QR

1620
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: code that works without Internet, so when the person scans that,

1621
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: they don't need Internet on their phone, or you don't

1622
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: need internet on your phone to make that work, which

1623
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: is kind of cool. That's a brand new feature. I

1624
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,560
Speaker 1: haven't tested it, but that came into play because a

1625
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 1: lot of the people I was talking to and trying

1626
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: to give my card to were international, and so they

1627
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: have either their you know, cellular data turned off, or

1628
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: they hadn't connected to the Wi Fi or whatever. It

1629
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: was just a little bit complicated. So that's another consideration,

1630
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: all right. The next app that I tested is called

1631
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Hi Hello, and this app what I like is that

1632
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 1: the card, like the digital business card that it gives you,

1633
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: is really slick looking. It looks really nice, and so

1634
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: it's got this cool format. You can, you know, change

1635
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: how it looks. It's got all your information right on

1636
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,719
Speaker 1: one page. So what someone could do when they see

1637
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: this is they could screenshot your information if they pull

1638
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 1: that up. So some of them, like poppol will just

1639
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 1: show like a Twitter icon or an Instagram icon, and

1640
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 1: so you can't really like screenshot that. If you just

1641
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: want to do this in a hurry, but with high Hello,

1642
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: you could just screenshot the whatever the business card that

1643
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: pops up and boom, Now you can add it to

1644
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: your phone later on when you have time. And again

1645
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: it all comes back to what I noticed. Every single

1646
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: person I was trying to share this with, none of

1647
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: them wanted to deal with my contact info at that

1648
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: very moment because they had better things to do with

1649
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 1: their lives. And so that's that. My big takeaway is like,

1650
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,640
Speaker 1: oh okay, that's interesting. But like Poppel, this allows you

1651
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: to share via QR code, email text. This actually can

1652
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 1: write to an NFC device. If you have an NFC

1653
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 1: device that you want to write it to, you can

1654
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 1: add it to Apple Wallet and I like the look

1655
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:18,759
Speaker 1: of it. And again it keeps track of the people

1656
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 1: that you send your stuff to so that you can

1657
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 1: follow up with them as well. Okay, the final one

1658
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: that I tested is called link l n Q, and

1659
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 1: this I would say is probably like the most business

1660
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: y out of all of these different apps, and so

1661
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 1: link li in q I actually like it the best

1662
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: for a certain reason. And the reason and this is

1663
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 1: what I've decided. The reason is that you can send

1664
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 1: your information as a text to someone. And what it

1665
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: does is it will send that text with a link

1666
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: to your business card, but also your business card embedded

1667
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 1: in that text, so your VCF card if you've ever

1668
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: gotten a text where it's like, you know, basically a

1669
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: contact card, and you can download that right to your phone.

1670
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: So what I like about this is that when I

1671
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 1: text someone my information, they have the option to not

1672
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 1: have to deal with it at that moment because my

1673
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: contact card is in their text now. So later on

1674
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: when they're you know, at the end of the night

1675
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:22,839
Speaker 1: or whatever, when they're going through all their different texts,

1676
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: they can say, oh, yeah, Rich DeMuro shared his information.

1677
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: Here it is and I can download that. They can

1678
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 1: download that card right to their phone when they have

1679
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: the time to do it, as opposed to having to

1680
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 1: deal with it right then and there. The downside to

1681
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:39,759
Speaker 1: that setup is that this link comes from a link

1682
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: phone number. So the implication for most people or you know,

1683
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 1: what most people might do is just reply back to

1684
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: that text it does say this came from rich DeMuro

1685
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: like it'll it kind of like nudges them to make

1686
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: them realize that it's not my text number. But that's

1687
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 1: the only downside is you have to pay extra if

1688
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: you want it to come from your text number, so

1689
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: which I'm not ready to pay for any of these

1690
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: apps just now, but that's that's kind of where it is.

1691
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, poppol high Hello and Link l A n Q.

1692
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is I'm probably going back to

1693
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:11,640
Speaker 1: a regular business card because it just seems to be

1694
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: the easiest. That's what I prefer, and it seems like

1695
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people prefer that as well. All right,

1696
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 1: let me just do one quick story before we get

1697
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: to calls in a moment here after the break But Ring,

1698
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: you know Ring, the video doorbell company, they came out

1699
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: with a Ring car cam. So one of the most

1700
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: popular questions I get is when or which you know,

1701
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 1: which one of these car cams should I get these?

1702
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 1: You know, everyone wants one of these little cams for

1703
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,679
Speaker 1: their car, and now Ring has one. And it's really

1704
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 1: cool because it looks nice, it's easy to set up,

1705
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: it works with Ring. It can record whenever there's a

1706
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, an event detected like a break in. But

1707
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: there's also sensors to kind of detect when something's happening

1708
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: around your vehicle. If you get stopped for a traffic stop,

1709
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: you can say ALEXA record and your camera will start

1710
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: recording even if your car's parked. This is a two

1711
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars camera. Again, it works with Ring.

1712
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: It's called the Ring Carcam. It's coming out soon. It

1713
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: looks really cool. It's one hundred ninety nine dollars if

1714
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:10,719
Speaker 1: you pre order it. So if you know you want

1715
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: this thing, probably now's the time to get it if

1716
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: you have Ring on your house and you've got the

1717
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: whole subscription. Now this also has LTE built in, so

1718
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: you will have to pay an extra six dollars a

1719
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: month if you want that LTD LTE capability, which is cellular.

1720
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 1: But I think this is gonna be something I'm gonna recommend,

1721
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:30,879
Speaker 1: especially if you like the Ring video doorbell. It'll integrate

1722
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: with all your other cameras and it looks slick. I

1723
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: haven't tested it, but it's got cameras that look out

1724
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 1: and also into your car. So Ring carcam brand new

1725
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 1: unveiled at CES twenty twenty three. You are listening to

1726

Speaker 1: and taking your questions. Dale is in Minster, Ohio. Dale,

1733

Speaker 1: welcome to the show.

1734
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 6: How you doing, young man? Welcome to be the new

1735
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 6: guy on the block.

1736
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I don't know if I've ever

1737
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 1: been to new kid on the block.

1738
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 6: Drive a truck. I don't want to take up too

1739
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:25,680
Speaker 6: much of your time, but I used to pick you

1740
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 6: up on the radio stations out there when I was

1741
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 6: in LA over the years. But here's my question. I'm

1742
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 6: on a fixed income. I got an old operating system,

1743
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 6: Windows eight point one, Sammy Ewlett Packard, good machine working

1744
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 6: that ninety problems with it. The only thing I ever

1745
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:49,840
Speaker 6: do was crack the screen and turned off the touch

1746
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 6: screen on the human interface. If you know what I'm

1747
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 6: talking about. Sure, And here's my predicament. I can't afford

1748
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 6: to buy a new computer, can't upgrade to Windows ten.

1749
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 6: And I don't want to put you on the spot

1750
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 6: to recommend anything over the air. But if you were

1751
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 6: in my say, if it was you in my situation,

1752
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 6: what would you do?

1753
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,799
Speaker 1: Well, Okay, so first off, you're you're already on Windows

1754
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: eight point one. Yeah, okay, So that means that you know,

1755
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: so I know you're talking about this end of life

1756
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: support or end of support on end of life end

1757
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: of support on January tenth, that's coming up in a

1758
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: couple of days here. So what that means is that

1759
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: you're not going to get any updates for that computer

1760
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to Windows. Now, that doesn't mean that

1761
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 1: individual apps can't be updated. So have you had any trouble?

1762
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 1: What what like browser are you using? Using like Chrome

1763
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: or something.

1764
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 6: I've got Microsoft Edge in there and also Firefox. I

1765
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 6: use two different ones. I'm on a Wi Fi system, Okay, So.

1766
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Microsoft Edge, you know they may stop

1767
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: updates for that, but I don't know if they're doing

1768
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: that just yet Firefox. Same thing. Basically, what's happening here

1769
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: is that you may lose updates for these computer you know,

1770
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: for these software programs on the computer. It doesn't mean

1771
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:12,759
Speaker 1: your computer stops working on the tenth it will still work.

1772
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 1: The main thing is that you need to be aware

1773
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:19,719
Speaker 1: of the security implications of no longer receiving security updates.

1774
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:22,640
Speaker 1: So that means that you could be at risk for

1775
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,440
Speaker 1: certain things. Now, if you're doing most of your stuff online,

1776
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 1: most of your stuff on websites, many of your programs

1777
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: are running in the browser, you probably should be Okay.

1778
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 1: I might recommend running Chrome if you can. If you

1779
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: can download that and run it, it's got a lot

1780
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: of protections built in. I mean Edge does too, and

1781
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: so does Firefox to an extent. But you know, I

1782
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 1: think that that's the main thing, is knowing what you're

1783
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: up against. Other than that, I mean, I would plan

1784
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 1: for a new computer at some time, maybe over the

1785
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 1: next year, and you know, you can go. If you're

1786
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 1: not doing anything that's truly intensive on this computer, you

1787
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: could probably get away with a Chromebook. And I look

1788
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:05,640
Speaker 1: into Asher on the Chromebooks. I've been testing one and

1789
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of great models and a lot

1790
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: of different price ranges. But you want to get one

1791
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,679
Speaker 1: that definitely has the best specs that you can afford

1792
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 1: on your budget. You say you're on a fixed income,

1793
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: So I would just put away a little every month

1794
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 1: for the next couple of months and until you get

1795
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 1: enough that you can upgrade this system. But it's not

1796
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 1: going to stop working anytime soon. And yes it's an

1797
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: older system. Windows eight point one is not ideal, but

1798
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: it just got to end of support in three days,

1799
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: so it's not like it's going away anytime soon.

1800
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 6: Does that make sense, Yeah, it does.

1801
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 9: Well.

1802
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,719
Speaker 6: I was more or less concerned was the security aspect

1803
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,719
Speaker 6: of it. I think the Windows Defender will no longer

1804
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 6: be upgraded, right, And I was wondering about a possible

1805
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 6: other I've looked at everything. I add best Norton all

1806
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 6: those half dozen or two dozen security softwares out there,

1807
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 6: and cut the side on which one might be the best.

1808
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:02,639
Speaker 6: And like I said, I don't want you to stick

1809
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:05,600
Speaker 6: your neck out on the air recommending somebody software.

1810
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,879
Speaker 1: But well, I don't mind. I mean that's yeah, I mean, look.

1811
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 6: Yes, you're right, that was my concern area. I don't game,

1812
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 6: I don't create anything. I just do a lot of reading. Okay,

1813
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 6: watch videos and maybe the Netflix. That's about the extent

1814
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 6: of my modern technology.

1815
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 1: I think I think you're gonna be okay, Dale, as

1816
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: long as you just be careful about any links that

1817
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 1: people send you through your email. I don't think you're

1818
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: getting text on this computer, but you know, you just

1819
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: have to be careful about anything that could you know, uh,

1820
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 1: that could be a security exploit of this computer, because

1821
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 1: that's what that's what happens when when when software is

1822
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 1: no longer updated with security updates. Hackers know that, and

1823
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: they look for exploits and they exploit them. And that's

1824
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 1: kind of the main thing that you're up against. So again,

1825
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 1: it's probably not going to be a huge thing you

1826
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:57,479
Speaker 1: need to worry about in the next day or two.

1827
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 1: But again, plan for a new computer, do some research,

1828
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 1: figure out if a Chromebook's going to be good. And

1829
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 1: it sounds like it would be fine for what you need.

1830
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 1: I'd go with that. And I think you're going to

1831
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:10,559
Speaker 1: be just great. So Dale, thanks for the question in Ohio.

1832
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Let's go to Ed in Huntington Beach, Ed,

1833
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 1: what's on your mind?

1834
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, Rich, I'm one of the ones to congratulate

1835
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:23,759
Speaker 2: you on getting this new job.

1836
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:25,760
Speaker 5: Thank you.

1837
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 2: I bought your book one hundred and one Jeffson of

1838
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:33,759
Speaker 2: the iPhone and everything I have is Apple. But anyway,

1839
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 2: my question to get down to it is, since the

1840
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:43,719
Speaker 2: major hack back in August of Last Pass, I'm really

1841
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:48,520
Speaker 2: losing faith in Last Pass and I've changed my master password.

1842
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 2: It's up to twenty characters, and and I guess it's

1843
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 2: a two part question. My question is should I just

1844
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 2: back out of out of last path? But I don't

1845
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 2: really know how. I've got so many passwords on there,

1846
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 2: I don't really know how to get to back out

1847
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 2: of that last path. And and.

1848
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:16,679
Speaker 1: You're you're feeling, you're you're frustrated, You're you're you're kind

1849
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 1: of I feel it. I feel it in your voice

1850
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:22,760
Speaker 1: that you are upset that you put so much time

1851
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: and effort into this program and now it's kind of, uh,

1852
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's not worked out the way that you

1853
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 1: would have liked it. Is that what I'm feeling?

1854
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm you know, I'm losing my trust, losing my

1855
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 2: trust and last path and you know they've they've somehow

1856
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 2: somebody in their company has opened up there that somebody

1857
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:48,639
Speaker 2: stole all the source code back in August, and it's

1858
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 2: just it's just getting worse and worse. So I did

1859
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 2: change my master password right now, but I have some

1860
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 2: banking on there and I have Amazon on.

1861
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 1: Here's what I want to do, ed hang on. My

1862
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:05,240
Speaker 1: next guest is going to answer all these questions and more.

1863
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to an expert about this whole

1864
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 1: last Pass hack. I think you're going to enjoy the

1865
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:14,640
Speaker 1: conversation coming up. Last Pass hack. What you need to know.

1866
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,680
Speaker 1: You are listening to rich on tech. Welcome back to

1867
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:22,759
Speaker 1: rich on tech. On Richdimiro talking about technology and something

1868
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:26,679
Speaker 1: pretty big in the tech world. Actually huge is this

1869
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 1: last last pass breach. Last Pass is a very popular

1870
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 1: password manager and if you hear me talk at all.

1871
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 1: On any of my segments, I'm always talking about the

1872
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 1: importance of strong passwords, two factor authentication, and also having

1873
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 1: a password manager. So then when you see in the

1874
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:49,639
Speaker 1: news that last pass is hacked, not just once, but twice,

1875
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 1: you're like, rich, where are you leading me here? Because

1876
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:55,800
Speaker 1: maybe it was safer for me to write my stuff

1877
01:31:55,840 --> 01:31:58,680
Speaker 1: down on a piece of paper. I still think it's

1878
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 1: better to use a password manager. Lots of things, though,

1879
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:06,719
Speaker 1: we were taken in this breach. Website URLs for stored

1880
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:10,759
Speaker 1: passwords and user names, billing addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers,

1881
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:14,679
Speaker 1: company names, all kinds of information. Now Here to break

1882
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 1: it down is Roger Grimes. He is a data defense

1883
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:23,160
Speaker 1: data driven defense evangelist at NOBI four and one of

1884
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:26,240
Speaker 1: the most interesting people I interviewed at KTLA in the

1885
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 1: past year. We talked about security. Roger, thanks for joining me,

1886
01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: glad to talk. So let's break this down. First off,

1887
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:35,760
Speaker 1: can you give me a summary of what happened with

1888
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 1: last past. I believe they were hacked in eight in

1889
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 1: August and they said no, no, everything's fine, and all

1890
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,719
Speaker 1: of a sudden it comes out, oh no, no, actually

1891
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:44,639
Speaker 1: things aren't so fine. So what's the deal.

1892
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, they didn't necessarily get hacked. They did,

1893
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:51,840
Speaker 7: but it was really one of their providers, their cloud

1894
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 7: storage providers where they stored their users users information, so

1895
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 7: including passwords, but the passwords were encrypted with AES, but

1896
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 7: they were you know, what they revealed is that a

1897
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 7: lot of the information related to their customers and the

1898
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 7: different websites were stored and last pass were not encrypted.

1899
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 7: So the passwords themselves were thankfully encrypted by AES with

1900
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,040
Speaker 7: two hundred and fifty six bits of encryption. That's really good,

1901
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 7: but a lot of other information wasn't. So, you know,

1902
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:24,680
Speaker 7: even at the very least, if they're not getting your passwords,

1903
01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 7: they could at least know what websites you belong to

1904
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 7: and probably do some spear phishing attacks right and saying hey,

1905
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 7: we're from this website, we need you to change your

1906
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,840
Speaker 7: password or something like that and then get your real

1907
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 7: password and that sort of stuff.

1908
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's break that down. So first off, if

1909
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm a last past customer, do I ditch them right now?

1910
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,120
Speaker 1: Do I give them another chance? And is my data

1911
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:47,639
Speaker 1: at risk? Do they have like my logins for every

1912
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,080
Speaker 1: website or no, you're saying they don't kind of.

1913
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 7: They certainly don't have your passwords, but they could have

1914
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 7: your login names. And let me say, overall, I like

1915
01:33:56,160 --> 01:34:00,679
Speaker 7: what advice you've been telling people. Everybody should use. My opinion,

1916
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,040
Speaker 7: and I've been doing computer security for thirty four years,

1917
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,719
Speaker 7: written thirteen books on the subject, I think everybody should

1918
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:09,320
Speaker 7: be using a password manager, and last Pass is certainly

1919
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 7: one of the more popular ones. It's had some issues.

1920
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 7: This is probably the seventh compromise that they've had since

1921
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 7: they've been in existence, but so it's they're starting to

1922
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 7: cause some trust issues. But I would still say for

1923
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 7: existing customers, I think the majority of your passwords are

1924
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 7: probably safe. If your master password that protected that your

1925
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 7: last password manager was twelve characters are longer. If it's not,

1926
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,880
Speaker 7: If your password was something weaker than twelve characters long

1927
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 7: with a little bit of complexity, you know, uppercase lowercase numbers,

1928
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:45,479
Speaker 7: then you probably need to not only change your last

1929
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,480
Speaker 7: master password, but all the passwords that you stored in immediately.

1930
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So what if you had Okay, let's say

1931
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: you had a not so good main password to last

1932
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 1: pass and the way that these Just to explain the

1933
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 1: way that these password managers work, if you haven't used one,

1934
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:04,960
Speaker 1: you choose, like you log into the password manager with

1935
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:08,839
Speaker 1: a strong password, and you know your username or your email,

1936
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 1: and then you store all of your different you know,

1937
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: let's say you're loging for Amazon and Google. You store

1938
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,680
Speaker 1: those inside the manager, so you log in once and

1939
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,400
Speaker 1: then it sort of logins logs in for you using

1940
01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: your data. So if I had a week password on

1941
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 1: my last Past account and didn't have two factor authentication enabled,

1942
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:30,759
Speaker 1: am I worse off?

1943
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1944
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:35,479
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I still you know, hackers really

1945
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:39,840
Speaker 7: don't like hacking, and encryption, like encryption is usually even

1946
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 7: bad encryption. And when we say last pass heads didn't

1947
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 7: have the strongest encryption, it was all right encryption. There

1948
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 7: were some weaknesses, some issues. It is a rarity to

1949
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:55,640
Speaker 7: almost zero that hackers will actually attack the encryption. But

1950
01:35:55,880 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 7: if you had a week password, meaning eleven characters or less,

1951
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,840
Speaker 7: that's something they could start doing password guessing that and

1952
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:07,599
Speaker 7: then get access to your encrypted passwords. So, you know,

1953
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 7: and let me say, I think Last Past that they've

1954
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 7: been requiring a twelve character password for at least a

1955
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 7: couple of years. So if you've gotten last pass in

1956
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 7: the last three or four years, you probably already have

1957
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:20,840
Speaker 7: a twelve character password. If you didn't you joined before that. Again,

1958
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 7: if you if you have something weaker than a twelve

1959
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:25,400
Speaker 7: character password, well you need to go ahead and change that.

1960
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,840
Speaker 7: But I think the key thing is I think everybody

1961
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 7: should use a password manager because people that don't reuse

1962
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:36,720
Speaker 7: the same passwords across multiple websites, and the risk of

1963
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:41,520
Speaker 7: doing that is far greater than your password manager being compromised.

1964
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 1: And also if you're using the same if you're not

1965
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:46,920
Speaker 1: using a password manager, you're doing what's easy for the

1966
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,600
Speaker 1: human brain, which is making up passwords that are variations

1967
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:53,559
Speaker 1: on your passwords, which you know means you're using similar

1968
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:55,760
Speaker 1: passwords across a lot of different websites as well.

1969
01:36:56,520 --> 01:37:00,719
Speaker 7: Kay, you're exactly right. The average person has as three

1970
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 7: to seven passwords that they reuse across one hundred and

1971
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 7: seventy different websites, and even if they don't use the

1972
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,559
Speaker 7: same password, there's a password pattern. And it's like I

1973
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 7: used to think I was a genius years ago. I

1974
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:14,719
Speaker 7: would you have my root password. Let's say it was frog,

1975
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:16,639
Speaker 7: it wasn't frog. Let's say it was frog. I'd say

1976
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,640
Speaker 7: like frog tw for Twitter, frog s B for Facebook,

1977
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 7: frog I for Instagram, and I'm like, great, I'm using

1978
01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:25,959
Speaker 7: a different password for every website. But hackers on average

1979
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:29,799
Speaker 7: will compromise one or two of your websites every year

1980
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 7: and you don't know that. You know, oftentimes you don't

1981
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:34,599
Speaker 7: know that they did, and then your passwords are out there.

1982
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 7: So if you have a pattern, like some people are like,

1983
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:39,840
Speaker 7: you know, go Bucks or go Cubs or something like that,

1984
01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 7: and they add something different to the end. If you

1985
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 7: have a pattern, hackers will quickly, over a couple of years,

1986
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,760
Speaker 7: see that pattern and go, oh, you know, let's go

1987
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 7: try you know, frog A for Amazon and see if

1988
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 7: that works. So you really need to let a password

1989
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 7: manager which will create truly long and complex, perfectly random

1990
01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 7: passwords do it, and the password manager will create them

1991
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:04,560
Speaker 7: and use them and you don't need to even know

1992
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 7: if they are, Like I can't be fished out of

1993
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,599
Speaker 7: my password because I don't know what they are right now?

1994
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,280
Speaker 1: How many characters? You know there's that little slider when

1995
01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:14,599
Speaker 1: you know, go to choose a password. How many characters

1996
01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:17,599
Speaker 1: should we be sliding up to? Should it be ten, twelve, sixteen?

1997
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 1: What do you recommend if.

1998
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:23,600
Speaker 7: You're using perfectly random passwords like a password manager creates

1999
01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 7: twelve characters. As far as we know, no known, even

2000
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:32,960
Speaker 7: advanced technology today can break a twelve character perfectly random password.

2001
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:35,799
Speaker 7: And we mean somebody that has the capability of guessing

2002
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:41,919
Speaker 7: forty five trillion passwords a second cannot break a twelve

2003
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 7: character perfectly random password, even if given years. If you

2004
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:48,559
Speaker 7: choose it out of your brain, you know, and you

2005
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 7: make up something because we tend to use, you know,

2006
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 7: words that we add a couple of things to. In

2007
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 7: order to be perfectly safe, it needs to be twenty

2008
01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 7: characters or longer. I have friends who routinely break eighteen

2009
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:05,680
Speaker 7: character passwords that people have made of every day, and

2010
01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 7: they're not even the least you know, the elite advanced

2011
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 7: guessers I'm talking about. So let me say it again.

2012
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 7: If it's perfectly random, twelve characters or longer is fine

2013
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:16,760
Speaker 7: if you make it up out of your head. If

2014
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 7: you want it to be truly unguessable, uncrackable, it needs

2015
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 7: to be twenty characters. Nobody wants to use a twenty

2016
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 7: character password, create or use the twenty So use the

2017
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 7: password manager. Let it do the hard work.

2018
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:31,520
Speaker 1: Okay, explain before you go explain the idea of spearfishing.

2019
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 1: We've heard of phishing, you know, that's when an email

2020
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:35,720
Speaker 1: tries to you know, or a link tries to get

2021
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 1: your information, gets you to log in whatever. What is spearfishing.

2022
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:42,800
Speaker 7: That's where they've got some type of knowledge that may

2023
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:45,799
Speaker 7: not be you know, public to everybody else, Like everybody

2024
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 7: gets the Facebook, Instagram, Twitter stuff. But let's suppose that

2025
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:52,320
Speaker 7: you belong to some you know, cat website, you're really

2026
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:55,919
Speaker 7: into Persian cats. Well, if the hackers got that information,

2027
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,040
Speaker 7: let's say, from last pass, and they now know that

2028
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 7: Roger seems to really like these Persian cat website he

2029
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 7: apparently raises these things or something like that, Well, that

2030
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 7: can become this intimate email where person's like, oh, I've

2031
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,600
Speaker 7: got this great Persian cat deal for you. And so

2032
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 7: you're not expecting it to be you know, a hacker

2033
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 7: in a traditional sense, because it's not anything you know,

2034
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 7: widely used. It's something specific. This person had to know

2035
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:22,639
Speaker 7: some information about you in order to use it.

2036
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:23,240
Speaker 9: You know.

2037
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:25,640
Speaker 7: It could be that you know, they find you're, you know,

2038
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 7: a Tampa Bucks fan, and so all of a sudden

2039
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:30,240
Speaker 7: you get this email going, hey, we have you've won

2040
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 7: free Bucks tickets. You know, click here or you know,

2041
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 7: spend one hundred bucks to buy these, you know, Tampa

2042
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 7: Bay Bucks tickets. A spearfish is that they're using some

2043
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 7: intimate information that the general public doesn't know about in

2044
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 7: order for you to for some you know, to let

2045
01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 7: your guard down and have a little bit more trust

2046
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 7: than you otherwise would if they just hit you with

2047
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 7: some generic phishing email.

2048
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:55,639
Speaker 1: Well, said Roger Grimes of a note before and on

2049
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 1: Twitter at Roger A. Grimes, you are a wealth of

2050
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: information when it comes to computer security. Thanks so much

2051
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 1: for joining me today and explaining the entire last past situation.

2052
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 1: Get those passwords strong, folks. That's the bottom line.

2053
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:12,679
Speaker 7: Right, Yep, yep, you're right, and you're giving good advice.

2054
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 5: All right.

2055
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:15,679
Speaker 1: Thanks Roger for joining me today on this very first

2056
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 1: episode of rich on Tech. You're listening to me Rich

2057
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 1: DeMuro talk technology. Coming up. Have you heard of a

2058
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 1: bird feeder that's smart? I'm gonna tell you about that,

2059
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 1: plus wrap up the show coming up. You're listening to

2060
01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Jim

2061
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 1: writes in via email, Hey, Rich, what's the best way

2062
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 1: to exchange original high quality photos between iPhone and Android phones.

2063
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:46,920
Speaker 1: Email has size limits and texting degrades the images. I

2064
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:49,680
Speaker 1: usually use Facebook Messenger, but there's got to be a

2065
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:53,760
Speaker 1: better way. Thanks Jim. At the end of his email says,

2066
01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:56,759
Speaker 1: a seminar on time travel will be held two years

2067
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:01,679
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. That's my kind of guy. Great question,

2068
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 1: And this is the kind of stuff that you know,

2069
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: it always comes up when you're with a group of

2070
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 1: people and you need to share something with them. And

2071
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 1: I find that this happens at family gatherings or when

2072
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 1: you're with your friends at a table and you take

2073
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 1: a group picture and everyone's like, oh, airdrop, airdrop, air drop.

2074
01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:21,719
Speaker 1: Air drop is phenomenal. But the problem with air drop

2075
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:25,560
Speaker 1: is that it's only iPhone to iPhone or iPhone to

2076
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 1: mac or iPhone to iPad or iPad you know. You

2077
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:31,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's an Apple thing. And so

2078
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 1: if you are texting someone, people are like, oh, what

2079
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,560
Speaker 1: do you texting me? This tiny video for well, it

2080
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 1: didn't start out tiny, but because it went through SMS

2081
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:41,680
Speaker 1: into the iPhone, it's tiny. So a couple things here.

2082
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 1: Number one, if you're going iPhone to iPhone, it's always

2083
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 1: going to be Okay, so the message I message is

2084
01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:51,160
Speaker 1: going to be just fine. If you're going iPhone to Android,

2085
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 1: it's not going to be fine. If you're going Android

2086
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:55,479
Speaker 1: to iPhone, not going to be fine. If you're going

2087
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:59,120
Speaker 1: Android to Android and you are on a reasonably newer

2088
01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 1: phone and you've activated what's called the chat feature and

2089
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 1: you're using the Google Messages app, it's going to be fine.

2090
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 1: The problem is, really what it comes down to is

2091
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:12,439
Speaker 1: Android to iPhone, iPhone to Android, how do you exchange

2092
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:15,599
Speaker 1: those files? Now, there are many many ways you can

2093
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: do this, and the reason why air drop is so cool.

2094
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, Android has its own it's called

2095
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:24,440
Speaker 1: Nearby Share. If you haven't looked into it, it's fantastic.

2096
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 1: You can. You know, Android has air drop built in.

2097
01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 1: It's called Nearby Share, and it's it's a feature that's

2098
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 1: on most modern or i think all Android phones at

2099
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 1: this point, and if you haven't checked it out, try it.

2100
01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:37,759
Speaker 1: But the problem is it only works from Android to Android.

2101
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:40,599
Speaker 1: But if you haven't and you've got Android friends that's

2102
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 1: the way you share big stuff among your phones, try it.

2103
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really really phenomenal. Obviously, use air drop

2104
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:50,719
Speaker 1: if you're on iPhone to iPhone. I think the best

2105
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 1: way is really, yeah, one of these messenger apps. So

2106
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 1: what you have to do is ask your friend when

2107
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,720
Speaker 1: you're transferring, Hey, which app do you use? Maybe they

2108
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:03,639
Speaker 1: used Telegram, maybe they use Facebook Messenger, maybe they use

2109
01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:08,080
Speaker 1: a signal or WhatsApp. I mean, chances are there's one

2110
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:10,679
Speaker 1: of these products that they're using that you're also using,

2111
01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:13,840
Speaker 1: and that's the best way to get that large, high

2112
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:16,639
Speaker 1: quality file to them. Now what I like to do

2113
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:18,639
Speaker 1: is just kind of skip all that. Now, the best

2114
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:20,400
Speaker 1: thing I ever did was sign up my entire family

2115
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 1: for Telegram. So we are all on a group chat

2116
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:26,519
Speaker 1: on Telegram and it makes life very very easy because

2117
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 1: we all have different phones. And also I don't want

2118
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:31,120
Speaker 1: to really be limited by the phone that you know,

2119
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 1: I am using. If I'm using Android and they're using iPhone,

2120
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 1: and they're using Android and I'm using iPhone, why be

2121
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,320
Speaker 1: limited to all these different things that you know, these

2122
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 1: limitations that some of these companies put on us. So

2123
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:44,559
Speaker 1: when you find that common ground, it's really nice. And

2124
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 1: many people in the US have found common ground with

2125
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 1: I Message. And if you're not part of that blue

2126
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:50,960
Speaker 1: bubble system, you know, people get bent out of shape

2127
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:53,600
Speaker 1: because you mess up the group chat. I'm not a

2128
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,559
Speaker 1: big fan of all that stuff. That's why I signed

2129
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 1: up everyone for Telegram and said, let's use this because

2130
01:44:58,479 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: we know it's going to work. And I use it

2131
01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 1: for work. I use it for my family. I use

2132
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:03,960
Speaker 1: it for my wife, and it just makes life so

2133
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 1: much easier. If I'm testing an Android phone, my wife

2134
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 1: could text me the exact same way she does if

2135
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:12,639
Speaker 1: we're using iPhones together with I message. So that's number one.

2136
01:45:12,680 --> 01:45:14,960
Speaker 1: Get your friends on the same page with a cross

2137
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 1: platform solution. If that doesn't work, what I like to

2138
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:21,760
Speaker 1: do is send them a link. Send them a link,

2139
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:24,439
Speaker 1: upload the file or the video. I'm guessing we're talking

2140
01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 1: about videos here, or photos, I guess upload it to

2141
01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 1: something like Dropbox or Google Drive or if you're using

2142
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 1: Google Photos. You can send a link that way, and

2143
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 1: when you send a link, they're going to get the

2144
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: high quality picture because it's a link, it's in the cloud,

2145
01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:43,519
Speaker 1: and there's no storage limits. I mean, obviously up to

2146
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 1: your plan limits, but there's no sort of like sending

2147
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 1: limits where you know, I can't send a one gigabyte

2148
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,040
Speaker 1: file because obviously that's not going to work through email,

2149
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 1: but if it's a link, the file is held in

2150
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: the cloud until the other person on the other end

2151
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 1: downloads it. Facebook Messenger, I really feel like Jim is

2152
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,679
Speaker 1: kind of the sea way to do this. The other

2153
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:07,240
Speaker 1: thing is it's probably not best for big files, but Instagram,

2154
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 1: if you use like the messenger functionality on there, that's

2155
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good cross platform solution. I don't know if

2156
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:16,439
Speaker 1: the pictures are sent truly high quality, but they're probably

2157
01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna look better pictures and videos than they would if

2158
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:22,559
Speaker 1: you send them through you know, just standard SMS. And

2159
01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:26,680
Speaker 1: so that's another option. Personally, I'm my default is to

2160
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:29,679
Speaker 1: use Google Photos. I will send you know, a link

2161
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:32,120
Speaker 1: with a bunch of pictures or a couple of pictures,

2162
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:36,480
Speaker 1: and then I'll use Dropbox if it's more business oriented.

2163
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 1: There's also a whole host of different companies out there,

2164
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:43,640
Speaker 1: like we Transfer that can send stuff. But really the

2165
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: problem is, you know, all of this stuff, if you're

2166
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 1: sharing it through the cloud, has to go up to

2167
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:52,639
Speaker 1: the cloud first, and that could present some issues, especially

2168
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:55,120
Speaker 1: if you're in a place with spotty service. And that's

2169
01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:58,479
Speaker 1: why people like I message are sorry. They like air

2170
01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:01,800
Speaker 1: drop is because it can work at hoc, which means

2171
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:05,439
Speaker 1: your phone is directly connecting to that other phone, and

2172
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,880
Speaker 1: that's the big differentiator. Now, when I mentioned the nearby

2173
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 1: Share on Android, same thing. It is ad hoc so

2174
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:14,839
Speaker 1: and nearby Share is actually even a little bit smarter

2175
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:19,600
Speaker 1: than air drop because nearby Share will detect what situation

2176
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 1: you're in, so it can detect, you know, whether it

2177
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,840
Speaker 1: might be best to share it over the Internet, whether

2178
01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:27,960
Speaker 1: if it's a small tiny file, whether it can share

2179
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 1: it over Bluetooth, whether if it's a small file, or

2180
01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:33,840
Speaker 1: whether it can share it over you know, direct Wi

2181
01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:35,600
Speaker 1: Fi and direct WiFi is probably going to be the

2182
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 1: fastest out of any of those, and Bluetooth is another

2183
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 1: way of doing it, but that's not really something that

2184
01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:43,599
Speaker 1: people want. The other app that I like that I've

2185
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:45,559
Speaker 1: used over the years for myself that I've found to

2186
01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:48,600
Speaker 1: be pretty fast is called Send Anywhere, And you know,

2187
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:50,599
Speaker 1: it does require if this is kind of if you're

2188
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:53,040
Speaker 1: doing it yourself, you know, you would have to have

2189
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: that on both devices, But if you wanted to send

2190
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:58,600
Speaker 1: a large file to yourself, that can work. But Telegram

2191
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 1: also has this feature where you can have you know,

2192
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 1: and even WhatsApp just out of this where you can

2193
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:06,640
Speaker 1: send messages to yourself. So look into those and I

2194
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:09,080
Speaker 1: think one of those solutions should be good. But until

2195
01:48:09,120 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 1: we have you know, everyone on the same page with

2196
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 1: like cross platform, we're going to continue running into these

2197
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:19,679
Speaker 1: issues with compatibility. Okay, over at CS. One more product

2198
01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:21,559
Speaker 1: I saw which I thought was pretty neat, is called

2199
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 1: the bird Buddy, and I love the idea of this.

2200
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:29,160
Speaker 1: This is a connected bird feeder. Now they've had that

2201
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: for a while, started as a Kickstarter. The thing they

2202
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:34,400
Speaker 1: announced that CS that's brand new is a humming bird feeder,

2203
01:48:35,240 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 1: and they think they call themselves tech for Nature. So

2204
01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 1: the idea is that all these birds fly into our

2205
01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:44,000
Speaker 1: yard on a daily basis or weekly or monthly, the

2206
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:46,920
Speaker 1: bird feeder will take pictures and videos of those birds

2207
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:51,080
Speaker 1: now humming birds included, and not just take pictures but

2208
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:54,400
Speaker 1: also identify the species. So it uses AI to identify

2209
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 1: And how does this all work, Well, it sort of

2210
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 1: gamifies the birds that fly into your backyard. So the

2211
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 1: way the the CEO and founders said it is it's

2212
01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:05,679
Speaker 1: kind of like Pokemon Go for birds. So the feeders

2213
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:08,719
Speaker 1: are about two hundred dollars. Again, it's called bird Buddy,

2214
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a fun idea. My brother is a

2215
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:15,280
Speaker 1: big birder. Is that what they're called birders? But he

2216
01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:17,320
Speaker 1: would love this, And I think I hope he's not listening,

2217
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:19,360
Speaker 1: because this is definitely the next gift I'm getting him

2218
01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 1: because it just sounds like so much fun. A bird feeder,

2219
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: I might get a bird. I might become a burder,

2220
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 1: a birdwatcher. I don't know what's the term? Bird buddy

2221
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,639
Speaker 1: is the gadget some each Facebook dot com, slash rich
