WEBVTT - How to Avoid Getting Hacked 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.400 Ring has a new camera for your front door. There 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.200 are more places to get your iPhone repaired. Why you 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:12.520 should log into your apps every once in a while. 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.760 Plus we're playing the new Harry Potter game. What's going on? 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.520 I'm Rich Demiro. This is Rich on Tech, the podcast 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:20.600 where I talk about the stuff I think you should 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.560 know about happening in the tech world. Plus we're answering 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.400 your tech questions. Joining me is producer Megan Welcome to 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:27.800 the show. 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:29.040 Hello, how are you? 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:30.800 I am doing fantastic. 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.600 I do want to start with an apology though, because 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.160 we had last week's show that we did from China, 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.080 which was great. I mean, I thought it was really 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:42.160 interesting the content, but the actual quality of the podcast 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:44.080 was not up to par. And you know us, we 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:49.000 are sicklers on quality. Oh yeah, so every I feel 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.360 like every podcast we've done so far has sounded different. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:51.919 But that's the thing. 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.480 Podcasting is still emerging, right, and you know, even though 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.680 it's I was doing podcasting at Sina about fifteen years ago, but. 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.840 It's still new, right. It's new to a lot of people. 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.600 But I think our mistake last week was trying a 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.960 new mobile setup when we went to China. We tried 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.040 new microphones, we tried everything was different how we recorded 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.760 the show, and if we were total pros, like with audio, we. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.800 Would find that would be fine. But we're not. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.560 Yeah, and so we were talking into the wrong end 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.160 of the microphone. I don't know, we might have been 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.880 so long story short. If you listen to the podcast, 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.560 which a lot of you did, thank you. That's not 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.640 our that's not our main like, we're not that's not us. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:34.119 Yeah. 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.119 Now, if this one sounds really bad, we are trying 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:37.280 new equipment again. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.000 Then we're going to be really sad. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:39.959 Then we'll just give up. 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.840 But let's start with the story. Maybe this is the 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.200 biggest story of the week. It's probably the most complicated 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:48.920 story of the week for most people. But I do 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.760 think it could have potential impact. So we've heard a 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.800 lot about bitcoin, we've heard a lot about cryptocurrency. Nobody 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.920 has been able to make it work in a big, 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.840 meaningful way just yet. And now some people might fight 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.160 me on that, but the reality is, are you using crypto? 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:03.760 No? 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.760 Am I No, We're two kind of normal people. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.440 I do have okay, full disclosure, I do have twenty 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.400 five dollars worth of cryptocurrency. 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.160 To my name something. So it's like, you know, then 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:16.079 I have invested. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.680 Well so, and it's funny that you call an investment 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.720 because when I bought that, I did it as a 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.280 test to see. I bought it through the square cash app, 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.440 and it went down and down and down, and I 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.600 just checked it and it actually is back up to 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.320 twenty four dollars and sixty cents. So over the past 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.440 like year or two, I've only lost like. 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.720 Forty forty cents and it still can go up. 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.680 So I'm hoping that by the time I retire, I 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.600 just forget about that. And it's like, oh, no, oh, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.720 what's this? A million bucks just sitting there in crypto. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.280 I don't think it grows like that. 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.320 No, probably not so uh. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:52.440 Facebook is basically pioneering the charge for a new type 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:56.720 of simple global currency called Libra, and this is backed. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.960 It's interesting because they're backing it by the blockchain. 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:05.000 Which is you know, technology for a digital currency basically. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.680 But there's a lot of companies on board here, so 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.560 if anyone can make this happen, it could be Facebook. 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.040 And what they would want you to do is use 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.040 this cryptocurrency to it would be integrated into the Facebook 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.560 App into WhatsApp into Facebook Messenger. So basically, if I 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.240 owed you twenty bucks, I could pay you right through there, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.120 kind of like what you do with Venmo. But the 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.520 way Venmo works is it's all backed by your checking 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.400 account or your bank account or. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:30.080 Your credit card. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.200 Right, this would be backed by none of those things. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.839 You would basically just have this currency like it would 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.760 be its own thing. So, I know, doesn't that sound complicated? 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.600 So complicated, So you'd have to. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.880 Buy it somehow, and then once you buy it, that 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.000 is your currency. So the idea is is that of 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.160 enough people and places accept the currency, it then takes off. 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.480 So think about visa MasterCard for example. 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:51.720 Right. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.320 The only reason those work they're not really a currency. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.080 They're just a way to pay right. So you still 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.520 have to pay the bill with real money at the 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.480 end of the month, right or you know, depending portion 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.080 of the bill, right, Yeah, hopefully you're. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.320 Paying the whole thing. Yeah. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.160 But the reality is the reason why vis a master 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.120 card are so like I will take it from you, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.320 you'll take it from me, whatever, or a business takes 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.160 it is because it's accepted everywhere, right, and people have 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.839 established that, like, Okay, these are true, these are real, 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.320 like we take it. So with Libra and this whole 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.920 new cryptocurrency, if enough people take it, it's like, okay, 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.240 well I can use my Libra at. 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.599 Starbucks exactly. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.200 Or but where I get confused is so then you 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.440 would pay at the end of the month libra. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:37.200 Yeah. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:38.760 See, that's where it gets kind of weird. It's just 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.840 you just kind of keep your money in there. That's 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.080 the weird thing. It's like it's just becomes your money. 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.440 So yeah, and so what they're doing and there's it's 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.240 also even more weird because there's another thing. It's called 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.960 let's see, it's like libra, there's I don't even know 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:52.720 if I'm saying it right. 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.200 I truly want to understand how this works. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.360 So well, I'm not going to be the one to 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.760 explain it. No, I know, I know understand by the way. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.880 I've had like five people try to explain it to me. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.600 And I've had when I did the crypto story, like cryptocurrency, 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.080 we did like crypto one on one again like the 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.880 creator Yeah, no, we had like a guy who's a 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.760 good crypto guy, and I have a friend that does 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.480 crypto stuff. But I still it's like you don't really 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.640 understand it. It's a currency that's like kind of made 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.200 out of thin air. Right now, this one will be 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.680 backed by actual currency, which is making it more stable, 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.200 which makes it more appealing to people. Anyway, long story short, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.200 that's what you need to know is that Facebook might 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.400 take over the whole world when it comes to money. 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.000 But the other companies that are on board with this, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:43.920 and this is why it might work. Listen to these names, MasterCard, PayPal, Stripe, Visa, eBay, Lift, Spotify, Uber. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.039 And a whole bunch of others. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.000 So what that tells me is that at the very least, 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.640 you'll be able to use this currency among all those things. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.080 And if you think about those things, that's a lot. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.040 So now you can, let's say, you can use your 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.200 Libra currency to pay your master Card account at the 0:05:59.240 --> 0:05:59.799 end of the month. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:04.400 So again, it's getting real and getting real. It's fascinating. 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.160 So anyway, we'll just have to keep on kind of 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.080 up to date on everything that Facebook's doing with that. 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.560 It's not going to happen overnight, but it probably will 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:13.039 happen soon. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.120 So you would use like some of your twenty five dollars. 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:19.159 To buy a Starbucks exactly right, like I would instead 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.240 of like right now that that bitcoin that I have 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.960 exists inside that app, I can't do anything with it 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.960 except pay other people who like use bitcoin. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:26.320 Got it. 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.000 But let's say Starbucks I want to buy like a 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:29.839 ten dollars gift card and they're like, oh, we accept 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:30.599 this bitcoin. 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:31.440 I just use it. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.279 And same thing with this new one from Facebook. It's 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.800 like if I can use it to pay you back 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.120 for you know whatever, like you go out and run 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.359 get a coffee, I can be like, oh, here's three dollars, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:42.599 you know, through my app. 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.920 Got it? So interesting? 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.279 All right, So let's let's start with the first question. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:54.520 I love this next question. It's from Lily Alala and 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.320 she wrote on your Facebook page, Hey, Rich, thank you 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.080 for all of the useful information you provide during your 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.479 segment on Katley News. I have a question. Do you 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.200 have any suggestions or can you recommend a good Android 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.440 app for locating or keeping track of my kids? I 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.800 have twelve year old twins, they both have phones. I 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.160 need peace of mind. Please let me know. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.040 Okay, And what was the name again? 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:20.400 Lily? 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:20.960 Lily? 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.800 So this is a question I get all the time. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.360 People want to be able to track their kids. And 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.000 it makes sense if they have a cell phone, you 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.640 want to be able to track them. Why not, right, 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.960 So there are tools that are built into iOS. And 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.440 she didn't really mention what kind of phones her kids have. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.280 I feel like she would have mentioned if if they 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:37.840 had iPhones. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.160 Movie. Yeah, but she says she has an Android. 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:41.160 Oh, she has an Android. 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.440 She set a good Android app. 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.400 Oh, so there you go, she wants Android. Okay. So 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.200 on iPhone, obviously they have the app called find My. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.200 They changed it. It used to be called find my iPhone. 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:51.120 Now it's just called find My. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.600 So that would work on the iPhone side of things. 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.040 But if you're a mixed family and you have like 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.680 Android and you have iOS in the family, you want 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.040 an app that works across both of those things. And 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.800 so the app that I recommend to most people is 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:05.840 called Life three sixty. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:06.760 Have you heard of this? 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.240 So it's kind of the most popular one out there 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.840 that basically at the bottom line kind of thing is 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.000 it tracks you. You know, you sign it up on 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.760 your phones and you can see where your kids are 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.560 on a map. That's the basic thing. Now, that's free, 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.360 But if you really want to get the most use 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.120 out of it, you're gonna have to pay because what 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:25.680 I found when I tested. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.200 It is that the free stuff. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.760 Is fine, but the location's not updated as much as 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.920 you want. It's not real time, Like there's a little 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.360 caveats that you after using it for like two days, 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.040 you're like, this would be better if I paid for it. 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.800 So with that in mind, you know, try it out, 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.280 start it out, see how it works, and I think 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.320 it's going to do exactly what you need. They have 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.200 a lot of features in there, like I mean, there's 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.800 so many features. You can get a text when your 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.160 kid gets to school, you can get a text when 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.120 your kid leaves school. You can get see how fast 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.360 they're going on a map, Like if they're driving, you 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.080 can get a crash detection. So if they crash, god forbid, 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.680 you'll get it. Hopefully it's a fender bender, you'll get 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.280 alert about that. So again, they've built pretty much the 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.559 app that parents want to be able to track their kids. Obviously, 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.480 you know your kids have to be on board because 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:11.600 they can uninstall it or whatever. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.319 You can probably password protect it, but. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.160 Again, once you use it, so like with the free 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.840 it's zero, with plus it's three dollars a month, and 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.599 with driver Protect all those driver features, it's seven to 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.319 ninety nine a month. So I, as a parent, small 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.160 price to pay. When I'm ready to do this with 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.880 my kids, I think three dollars a month is just fine. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.160 So again, like little things that they change, So place 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.240 alerts with free, you only get two with the free, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.640 plus you get unlimited history. You only get two days 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.800 with the free. You get thirty days with unlimited crime reports. 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.160 I don't know, I don't know what that is. 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.400 But again, so really it comes down to how much 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.839 of the location do you get with the free versus 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.240 the paid. So but Lily, that's going to do it 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.760 for you Life three sixty dot com and it works 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:59.480 on you know, various apps, iOS and Android cool. So 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:04.199 speaking of Apple is partnering with Best Buy for expanded 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.840 repair service. So in the past, if you wanted to 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.839 get your iPhone repaired, you could do it at a 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.520 bunch of places, but Apple likes when you do it 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.080 at their place because it keeps your phone in warranty 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.679 right and also if you have Apple Care, it will 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.880 be included in your Apple Care price. If you go 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.439 to an Apple store or one of their authorized retailers, 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.400 which you know, in a city like LA, we have 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.120 a lot of these little like Mac stores, right, you know, 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.480 like I think there's like Melrose Mac and stuff like that. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.199 But if you live in like the middle of nowhere, 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.600 you don't really have access to a lot of places, 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:35.640 including the Apple store. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:36.280 Right. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:37.920 You might have a best Buy in your city, but 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.640 not an Apple store. Well, now best Buy is an 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:45.280 official repair place for Apple. And what does that mean? 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.160 Thousand Best Buys across the US will now provide expert 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.160 service and repairs for Apple products. 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.000 So that means if you have Apple Care, you can 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:52.800 bring your phone in there. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.200 They'll do all the stuff under warranty, which is really nice, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.040 and it's also backed by Apple. So if there's a 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.120 problem with the repair down the line, they're not like, well, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.760 where'd you bring this, You're like, oh, best Buy. They're like, sorry, 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.000 we can't do anything because they've ruined your phone. Now 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.640 that repair is still covered under Apple. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:09.959 So that's cool. 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:11.480 It is cool, and especially you. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.839 Know, again, this is a story for the rest of 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.800 the US, not Los Angeles per se, because in LA 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:17.800 you've got a million. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:18.240 Apple stores there. 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.400 It's like, you know, probably ten of them in like 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.200 a five mile radius. But if you're in somewhere like 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.640 they mentioned a couple cities Yuma, Arizona, Sioux City, Iowa, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.920 Twin Falls, Idaho, Casper, Wyoming, Bismarck, North Dakota. Those all 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.360 have Best Buys, but they didn't have an Apple store. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.000 So now in those places you can easily go and 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.319 get your phone fixed or any Apple product. 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.280 Walman. On the subject of phones, let me talk about Walmart. 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:47.400 They are expanding Walmart dot Com to let you fully 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.800 upgrade your phone online. So before you had to do 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.440 this in store. And this is not like a huge deal, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.559 but it's kind of big. Walmart is big, right, A 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:00.240 lot of people know Walmart for better prices and a 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.800 lot of times Walmart sells cell phones at a discount. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.839 So now you can do the entire upgrade process online 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.520 if you have AT and T, so right now they're 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.400 just starting with AT and T. But you go to 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.200 Walmart dot Com, you choose your you know your plan, 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.080 your device, your payment plan. They handle all that stuff 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:17.520 just like you would if you were at the store. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.480 But you can do it online. You get the device 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.840 within two days and you activate it and it's done. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.640 So why would you want to choose Walmart dot Com 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.800 over AT and T or anyplace else, well they might 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.079 have a better deal, Sony. You can shop around, right, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.680 So historically, if you were with AT and T, you'd 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.959 probably be able to go to AT and T dot 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.000 com to upgrade your phone, or you can go into 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.880 a store, or you can go to best Buy. But 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.840 I don't think best Buy does it online. Maybe they do, 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.520 but I don't think they do. But now you can 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.760 go to Walmart dot com and like just check the prices. 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.080 And so what I've seen is they say phones are 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.640 up to two hundred dollars less, so you could get 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.400 a discount on that. They're offering the iPhone ten at 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.560 three hundred dollars off, So it's five hundred dollars for 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.760 the sixty four gigabyte model, which is good. That's the ten, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.280 not the ten s right. But again, so what I 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.480 saw is that the price has worked out to about 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.079 eight dollars a month less than if you did this 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.400 straight up through AT and T. So eight bucks a month, 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.719 I mean I call that free Spotify, yeah, even though 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:15.600 Spotify is ten. 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.400 Spotify free Hulu right, yeah, true? 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.559 All right, Megan, you're up okay. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.800 So your next question comes from actually a top fan 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:35.160 on Facebook. Her name is mom slogo slug o gone. Okay, okay, anyways, 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.480 question on reverse phone look up. I can't seem to 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.480 find a legit free have some information when looking up 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.040 phone numbers. Cannot find a website where it shows if 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:50.480 the number is a scammer or not. Can you help? 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:51.200 Thank you? 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:52.480 Okay. 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.120 So there are a lot of websites that do this, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.000 but most of them are total bogus, Like you don't 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.920 want to go down those websites because what happens is 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:01.880 you've seen it. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.000 What's the one that you mentioned earlier, Spocho, Yes, Spokyo. 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.920 So there's like a whole bunch of these like Spoko 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.800 and like my Life and my Way and all these. 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.280 Weird like people search websites. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.840 Yeah, that generally give you just enough information, but then 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.000 they're like, oh, pay fifty dollars to get more information 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.160 about this person or whatever it is. And it's really 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.440 like it gets you in because there is publicly available 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.440 information that they scrape and they put on there, so 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.280 you're like, oh, they must have it, but then it's 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:33.440 like it's just it's not very well done. So long 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.200 story short, what I would recommend, very simple is whitepages 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.480 dot com. So I've been using this for a while. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.440 I used to have this app on my phone. I 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:42.880 don't know if they still do an app or not, 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.360 but I used to have it on my Android where 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.520 it would just when I got a phone call, it 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.120 would just show me the name, which was super easy. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.640 Now with spam and robo calls, you know, I don't 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.080 know how many phone how many phone numbers you're looking up? 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.240 You know, yeah, and I'd say the name Slugo or 0:14:58.280 --> 0:14:58.800 whatever it was. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.960 But it's like, you know, the White Pages. 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.080 So I just did a quick search and it does 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.000 have some good information on phone numbers. A lot of times, 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:08.640 they want you to pay about two dollars and fifty 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.440 cents a month for twenty lookups. So again all this information, like, 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.320 I don't really know of a free place anymore to 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.560 look up a phone number. You can try googling a 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.040 lot of times what I do. And yeah, if it's 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.000 if it's a business phone number, it's going to show 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:21.600 up in Google. 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:21.920 Right. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.440 If it's not a business phone number, it's not going 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.120 to show up, you know. But like a lot of times, 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.480 and if it's a scam phone number, a lot of 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.160 times it'll say like known scammer or something like that. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:32.800 So it really depends. 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.240 But if you're looking to manually look up numbers online, 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.600 I think whitepages dot com is probably going to be 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.000 like the most legit place to do that. I'm trying 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.720 to see who owns them at this point it's owned 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.920 by I don't know who it's owned by. It's just 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:47.040 white Pages, I guess. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.720 So anyway, good question about us. Let's see what they say. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:51.880 But they all do this. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.160 Yeah, White Pages was found in nineteen ninety seven, so 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.520 Wow's that's like that's old for. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.680 The web, twenty two years old. Wow? 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.040 All right, speaking of I always say that. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.880 Speaking of speaking of I'm not going to speak of it. 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.400 But Ring has a new camera you're familiar with Ring 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.560 that goes the Ring video doorbell that kind of made 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.680 the first video doorbell and made that product very popular. Well, 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.600 they've been adding slowly but surely a lot of different 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:20.560 products their lineup. 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:21.880 The latest is called. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.640 The Ring Door Ring Door View Cam. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.360 And this is a it's basically they call it what 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.160 are they call it, like a peepole right on your door. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.520 This replaces the people with a camera, so it's super 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.800 easy to install. No screws, no installation, no wires, no nothing. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.600 You charge this thing up, you pop out your old peopole, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.240 and you push this thing in. So the way it 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.440 looks is it looks like a ring video doorbell, but 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:48.640 a little bit smaller, with. 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.880 Kind of like a pipe at the end, imagine that, 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.560 or like a hollow tube that pushes through your door. 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.560 So it's held onto your door on the backside with 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.280 like some sort of you know, mounting or whatever. Okay, 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:00.680 and then on the front it just sits on the 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:01.680 front of your door flush. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.720 So you have to screw through your door well where 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:05.320 the people. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.159
