1
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Hands on with the iPhone twelve and the Pixel five.

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: The wisecam has a new feature, and Apple one is

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: officially launched. What's going on? I'm Rich Damiro and this

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk about

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: the tech stuff I think you should know about, and

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: it's where I answer the questions that you send me,

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: and boy do you send a lot of them. I'm

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles.

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for tuning in listening to what I

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: have to say. This is it. This is the couple

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: of weeks before the holidays. We don't have much time

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: to shop and it is quite the interesting year because

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: the pandemic has sent everything topsy turvy upside down all around. Uh,

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: but still people want to get those gifts and the

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: smartphones keep coming. The rest of the tech keeps coming,

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: and it just keeps getting delivered to me. So I

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: will talk about it because it's important for you to

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: know what people think of this stuff before you spend

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: your hard earned cash on it. And one thing that

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: I have been playing with for the past couple of

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: weeks is the iPhone twelve. Last week's episode was more

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: just a discussion with Apple about it, and I can

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: give you some of my thoughts on it. So what

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 1: can I say. I mean, it feels like I'm using

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: last year's iPhone, except it's faster, the camera seems a

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: little bit better perhaps, and the battery definitely has taken

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: a nose dive. I noticed that sort of by the afternoon,

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm down to like thirty percent, and it's noticeable. Versus

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: my old phone. It would I wouldn't even think about

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: the battery all day long. I mean, it just wasn't

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: even an issue. But again, you've got the iPhone twelve

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: and the iPhone twelve pro lots of people have them

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: in their hands. So the five G, I will say

34
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: I like having, even though I have yet to sort

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: of see it impact my daily life. And yesterday I

36
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: was in downtown Los Angeles where they have the Ultra

37
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: wide band on Verizon at least, and this is like

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the absolute fastest five G you can find anywhere. And

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: I was driving to my segment and I had to

40
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: stop because on my car it said five GUW. I said, ooh,

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: what's that? Let me stop and do a speed test,

42
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: And sure enough, the speed test was absolutely the kind

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: of the fastest speeds I've ever seen on a smartphone.

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: I think it reached about eight hundred, which is pretty

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: darn fast, when typically you might see one hundred, and

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: if you're on just standard LSE, you probably see something

47
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: closer to like twenty maybe sixty at the highest. So

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: eight hundreds pretty good. But it's just in a tiny

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: area of downtown. Hopefully that that will be in more places,

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: and it really made me think when this five G

51
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: is in a place where it is that fast everywhere,

52
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: if that ever happen weapons I mean, that is life

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: changing because now you have the same speeds that you

54
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: can use for your home network. You know, you can

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: replace your your cable internet with something that is wireless

56
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: and there's just no barrier. I mean, you can upload

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: and download huge files in seconds. And so now the

58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: cloud becomes your storage facility instead of local storage. And

59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: now that opens up a whole bunch of possibilities for

60
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: computers because now you don't need a high powered computer

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: with a lot of storage, because five G lets you

62
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: do whatever you need to do in the cloud just

63
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: as fast as it is on your system. Let's see

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: the design of the phone. I really do like it.

65
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: It's square, It's nice and square. The twelve Pro that

66
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I've been using is very easy to hold in your hand.

67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: It's I think it's the perfect size. Originally I was

68
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: going to purchase the twelve Pro Max, but I'm not

69
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: sure that I need that anymore because the twelve Pro

70
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: is such a great size, which is the same size

71
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: as a twelve So I'm sure some people will like

72
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: the Mini when it comes out on November thirteenth. That's

73
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: a much smaller phone that's too small for me. And

74
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: then the Promax might be too big for me at

75
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: this point because I'm now so used to this easily

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: pocketable size right in the middle of the six point

77
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: one inch screen. So I'm digging it. The software, I'm

78
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: still having some issues here and there with a couple

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: of little software things. Ceramic shield. I have not been

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: able to test because I'm not dropping this thing just

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: to drop it. But I will say that all State

82
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: did some tests and let's see, so they do what's

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: called all State is now they own Square Trade, and

84
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: so they do their drop tests and they say that

85
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: they did drop it from let's see what was their tests?

86
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: I think it was six feet yeah, about six feet,

87
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: So the iPhone twelve performed better than any previously tested smartphone.

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: So that's pretty good right there. During face down breakability

89
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: drop tests, the ceramics shield old screen improved durability. Although

90
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: both device is the same damage after landing on a

91
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: rough sidewalk from six feet, the twelve Pro and the

92
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: twelve flat side design appears to improve durability when dropped

93
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: on their rear panels. And the bottom line here is

94
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: that if you drop your phone, chances are it will

95
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: not just shatter the screen as in years past, perhaps

96
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: as easily, but it will still have issues. You know, well,

97
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I should say the phone is going to perform just fine.

98
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: It's the look and feel of it. The you know,

99
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: is going to be all scratched up and all messed up.

100
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: So you still don't want to drop your phone, but

101
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: the reality is you may not have to get a

102
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: screen repair if you do, so I like that. Let's

103
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: see what else. Night mode definitely improved on this camera.

104
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: But I will say I took this phone out. You know,

105
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: I've been testing a lot of phones lately, so I

106
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: one night my wife was out, so you know, of

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: course on board and the kids are out and So

108
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: I took the Samsung Galaxy S twenty f E, the

109
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Pixel five, and the iPhone twelve Pro, and I just

110
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: took them outside in a whole bunch of low light

111
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: scenarios and I took some pictures of the moon and

112
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: the stars. And I will say the iPhone twelve is great.

113
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: I think that it's the simplest. It gives you the

114
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: best picture in like a very fast, easy way. But

115
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: the S twenty FE, which is five hundred and ninety

116
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: nine bucks or six ninety nine depending on whether it's

117
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: on sale, I gotta say, performed very well, and especially

118
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: in the night mode when you toggle that on on Samsung,

119
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't always toggle on by itself, or on the

120
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: iPhone it does, which is kind of nice. But when

121
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: it's on, it worked pretty well and I got pretty

122
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: much very similar pictures that I was able to get

123
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: on the iPhone on that phone, very similar, I wouldn't

124
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: say exactly the same. And on the Pixel, the Pixel

125
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: is still good. But the Pixel this is my problem,

126
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: and I guess I'll get into my Pixel review as well.

127
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: The Pixel five. I love the pixel. Google's phone holds

128
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: a place near and dear to my heart because I

129
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: just love the Google operating system. I love Android, especially

130
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: the way that Google does it. It's just perfect. It's

131
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: so smart as a smartphone, whereas to me, the iPhone

132
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: not so smart, but it's much more of a creator device.

133
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: So when I'm looking to make something for Instagram or

134
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: Facebook or go Live, like I am here, the iPhone

135
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: is really what does it And the iPhone also has

136
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: all the accessories, whereas the Pixel. You know, I went

137
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: shopping for a case to see what kind of cases

138
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: are on Amazon, and I found like one rinky dink

139
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: case and it's like eh, and it's just also so small,

140
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: even though when I put them side by side the

141
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: screens are similar. For some reason, the Pixel just seems

142
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: tiny in my hand, the Pixel five and it just

143
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: seems delicate and like just not very full powered, whereas

144
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: the iPhone. When the iPhone is in my pocket, I

145
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: feel like I can conquer the world because it is.

146
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: It feels like it is the stand device that does

147
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: it all and everyone knows about it. And it's kind

148
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: of sad that everyone just assumes use an iPhone and

149
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: they don't even give these other brands a chance. So

150
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I really love what Pixel does with their software. I

151
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: feel like they put out a very underpowered phone for

152
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: a creator, But for the average person who's just using

153
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: their phone to take nice pictures and to answer phone

154
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: calls and to do Google searches and to run your apps,

155
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: it's just fine. And the price is going to come

156
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: down over the holidays, So don't be afraid of the

157
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: Pixel over the holiday season. Don't be afraid of the

158
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: Samsung S twenty fe. I think for most people, I

159
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: personally really like the the iPhone. I really like the

160
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: Pixel four A five G. I think that's a great

161
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: combination of screen size and also what you can do

162
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: on the phone with a camera. Although it just feels

163
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: dated compared to these other devices, the Samsung just feels

164
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: nicer in the hand, it seems snappier, and of course

165
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: it has a lot, you know like it seems like

166
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: it has more features. So I think you have a

167
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: good a good choice of phones this holiday season. If

168
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: you're looking to upgrade, you can't really go wrong with

169
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: the iPhone twelve the Pixel four A five G if

170
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: you don't worry about the you know, fastest specs, and

171
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: also the Samsung S twenty fe is near perfect and

172
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: the only thing about that phone that bugs me is

173
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: that they didn't put enough memory in it like RAM.

174
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: So it's not It's speedy because as the newest processor,

175
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: but I wish it had a couple more gigs of

176
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: RAM to really let it compete. But otherwise, I think

177
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: that we are doing really well this year when it

178
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: comes to phones. So if you have more questions for me,

179
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: hit me up on social media at rich On Tech.

180
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: I've been playing with all these devices, believe me. So

181
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: if you have questions, let me know and I will

182
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: do my best to answer them for you. Let's get

183
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: to the first question of the day, Mike, Friend of

184
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: the show. Mike says, Hey, rich I hope that you

185
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: and your family are doing well. If you haven't already heard,

186
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Quibi is shutting down it's service. I was very disappointed,

187
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: as they had some very good programs to watch. I

188
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: just paid for another month and no mention of a refund,

189
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: so I guess I amount a few bucks. Anyway, you

190
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: may want to get the word out on your program.

191
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: I am doing well. Take care, stay in touch, Mike.

192
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: Mike used to call into the show back in the

193
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: day when I did live callers. Maybe one day I'll

194
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: bring that back. Yes, Quibi is shutting down. I just

195
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: this makes me really angry because they spent about I

196
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: mean they had a billion. Over a billion dollars one

197
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: point seventy five billion is the number being thrown around.

198
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: Just just give me a million of that and I

199
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: will create amazing tech content for the next decade. With

200
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: a million bucks. They spent a billion on a on

201
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: a service that lasted six months. All I need is

202
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: a million and I will do tech stuff for the

203
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: next ten years. So if anyone wants to fund that,

204
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: let me know, and I am happy to take that

205
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: million dollars and give you a reach turn on it.

206
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Because Quibi just went caput after six months, and you

207
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: had such smart people running this, I mean Meg Whitman, Katzenberg.

208
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: These people are are you know, they know what they're doing.

209
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: But what they didn't understand is Number one, you can't

210
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: charge people. Whatever it was I think it was five

211
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: six ninety nine a month for this service and include ads,

212
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: no way. I mean I got a little free trial.

213
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: I think it was ninety days to Quibi and there

214
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: was no way I was going to pay six bucks

215
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: or wherever they wanted. I think it was six ninety nine,

216
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: when Netflix is like, you know, for the standard one,

217
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: it's like thirteen dollars and no way, so quibi you

218
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: just you just didn't get it right. Plus the other

219
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: thing is, and I hate to say this, but they

220
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: think that celebrities are going to bring in all the viewers.

221
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: And honestly, these days, people don't necessarily care about celebrities.

222
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: They care about content. They care about their favorite personalities.

223
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: So if you look at these folks on YouTube that

224
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: are making a great living on YouTube, you go into

225
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: a random household and you say, hey, do you know

226
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: this person on YouTube? No, they have no clue. And

227
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because that person on YouTube is not

228
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: sitting there crying that they are not a household name,

229
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: because guess what, they are connecting with their people. That's

230
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: the way I feel being on KTLA and doing all

231
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: the stuff I do on social media. Ninety nine point

232
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: nine percent of people have no idea who rich on

233
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: tech is. And guess what, that does not matter. What

234
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: matters is the one person that I connect with and

235
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: help them with their cell phone bill, or help them

236
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: choose their next computer, or help them get out of

237
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: a rut with the software they need and their zoom situation.

238
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: That's what matters. And I think that these one to

239
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: one connection on a much smaller scale are way more

240
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: important than a big celebrity that has no connection to

241
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: the person watching on Quibi, and that celebrity made a

242
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: ton of money and they're on to the next thing,

243
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: whereas these YouTubers, they are dedicated and they're much more

244
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: connected with their audiences because guess what they have to be.

245
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: They're not just getting millions of dollars thrown at them,

246
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: and then they don't care if the product works or not,

247
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: or the service works or not. They don't care what

248
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: Quibi's long term is. They get that million bucks and

249
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: they're done. So Quibi really sad, but I don't think

250
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: anyone's shedding a tear except for the folks that work there,

251
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: which of course it's sad to see all these people

252
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: out of a job. And I'm sure there's very smart

253
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: people there. But they should have been smarter at the top.

254
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: They should have funded the rich On Tech Show and

255
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: they would have had a hit. That's all I'm saying.

256
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: They should have maybe mixed in a few people there

257
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: there were not so big names and gotten them to

258
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, help the service take off. And

259
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: by the way, it should have been free for a year.

260
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: When they saw the pandemic happening. They should have known

261
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: Apple did they made Apple TV Plus free. And do

262
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: you think anyone's rushing out to subscribe to Apple TV Plus. No.

263
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: But the reality is it doesn't matter because they don't

264
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: have to make that decision right now because Apple made

265
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: it for them and they said, look, we're gonna give

266
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: you all this content that's pretty awesome. And I think

267
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Apple TV Plus is coming out with some really good

268
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: content and it's starting to prove itself. And so by

269
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: the time in February when people start having to make

270
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: that decision to subscribe, they'll say, you know what, for

271
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: five bucks a month, I think this has been pretty

272
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: good to me. I'm excited to watch that on the

273
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: Rocks movie. I'm excited to watch Greyhound. I love the

274
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: Morning Show. I mean, we know that all you need

275
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: is one good show a month for these services to

276
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: be worth it, and that's the magic formula. And it

277
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: can't be that expensive. Quibi was way too expensive for

278
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: what you got. And Mike, I'm sorry that you got

279
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: no refund. That's unfortunate, but you know that maybe they Yeah,

280
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: there's no proration with these things when you cancel Netflix

281
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: or whatever. There's no no proration. All right, let's move

282
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: on to the next story. Let's talk about let's talk

283
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: about the wyscam, because they came out with a new

284
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: version this week, the Wysecam Version three, and I was

285
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: a little upset that Wyse came out with a new

286
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: version so close to the outdoor version that I just featured.

287
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden they come out with

288
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the Wyscam V three that is indoor outdoor. Now there

289
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: are some major differences between these two cameras, but still,

290
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: this one's twenty dollars. It's simple, it's plug and play,

291
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: it works inside and outside, and it's at heart a

292
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: similar camera to the one that they first launched, but

293
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: it now works inside outside and that's a huge deal

294
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: for twenty bucks. Now, the big difference between these two

295
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: cameras is that this one is wired, so you have

296
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: to plug it in to get the power source twenty

297
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: four to seven, whereas the outdoor cam, that one was

298
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: a strictly rechargeable camera that you can post outside anywhere

299
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: you want. So let me go over some of the

300
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: features between the version, you know, the old version and

301
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: the new version. So number one, the new version still

302
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: twenty dollars and it's still, you know, a little tiny

303
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: camera that you plug in. The difference is the cord

304
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: is now permanently affixed to the back of the camera

305
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: and then there's sort of a breakaway point that is

306
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: rubber insulated, so that enables it to be an outdoor

307
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: camera because the two areas where the cord connects are

308
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: sealed in a way that they will withstand the elements.

309
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: It's IP sixty five, so it is indoor outdoor. It's

310
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: got a starlight sensor, which means you can actually use

311
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: this without night vision, and it will take in so

312
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: much light that you can get a color night vision shot.

313
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: So you have to choose one or the other. Do

314
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: you want black and white night vision or do you

315
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: want just a lower light which takes in more but

316
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: it's in color. You have that choice. Then they've got

317
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: this dual ir system, which is kind of cool, the

318
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: infrared system. If you use this as a baby monitor,

319
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: they actually have close up LEDs that are not red,

320
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: so if you use it as a baby monitor, you

321
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 1: don't have those LEDs blaring in your child's face. So

322
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: that's kind of neat three options for mounting magnetic now, tripod,

323
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: and screw, so there's more ways to sort of mount

324
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: this thing. Still ten ADP resolution, Still a thirty two

325
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: gigabyte local storage, so if you want twenty four to

326
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: seven recording, you pop an SD card in there up

327
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: to thirty two gigs and it will just continuously record

328
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: on that microSD card. Highly recommend you do that. Then

329
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: you've got the cloud storage, which is free. So this

330
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: will record motion and sound for twelve seconds at a

331
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: time with a five minute cool down. And what that

332
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: means is that when it records those twelve seconds, it

333
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: then goes into a hibernation mode for five minutes, and

334
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: then if there's more motion, it will record again. So

335
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: you may or may not capture exactly what you need

336
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: with that twelve seconds, but that's totally free. You don't

337
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: have to pay anything per month for this device. It's

338
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: got a wider field of view at one hundred and

339
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: thirty degrees versus one hundred and ten. It's a little

340
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: smoother playback because you get slightly more frames twenty frames

341
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: playback during the day versus fifteen on the old camera.

342
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Fifteen at night versus ten on the old camera. It's

343
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: got a much larger aperture, one point six versus two

344
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: point six, so that means the night vision is gonna

345
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: get much more light. Now it's gonna operate on the

346
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: same frequency for Wi Fi as before. It is still

347
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: just a single mode, which is two point four gigaherts.

348
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you want that five gigahertz

349
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: so you can connect it faster into your new router whatever,

350
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: but it's still two point four gigaherts. I'm guessing cost

351
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: is the reason there. There's also this little siren that's

352
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: built in which is kind of cool, eighty decibels mini siren,

353
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: and it sounds great. It's a nice little deterrent if

354
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: you need it. And the two way talk is definitely in.

355
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 1: It's now sort of instead of just that walkie talkie

356
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: two way, it is now much smoother where you can

357
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: kind of open the conversation and both talk at the

358
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: same time. So again that's the Wise CaMV three the

359
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: way that wis does this, and I love Wise, but

360
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: this kind of bugs me. They do these pre order

361
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: things where all these people hear about me talk about it,

362
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: they order it, and they don't get their order for

363
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: like another couple of weeks, and so they end up

364
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: emailing me saying, Rich, I ordered this, I never got

365
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: my order. But what Wise must do is get all

366
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: these pre orders collected and then somehow either I don't know,

367
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: but they So this ship date is mid November, so

368
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: if you order it now, you can get it in

369
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: mid November. So there's going to be a three to

370
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: four week lag minimum by the time you order to

371
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: the when you get it, which is rare these days

372
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: because we're so used to ordering stuff on Amazon and

373
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: getting it the very next day. So it is it

374
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: does throw people for a loop. I get it. But

375
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: if you order something from Wise, just keep in mind

376
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: you'll probably have to wait just a little bit to

377
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: get it. Let's get to the next question here, and

378
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: the next question is from Sarah good Day. I need

379
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: to learn more about Windows ten word and Excel. I'm

380
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: out of work and needing to know more to apply

381
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: for certain jobs due to the virus. I'm looking for

382
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: remote jobs. I need to know more about Windows ten

383
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: word and Excel. Objection already said asked an answer at

384
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: this point. That's my old mock trial coming through. At

385
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: this point, I cannot pay a lot for lessons more

386
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: of a hands on, but books might be my only option. No, Sarah,

387
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: if you have an Internet connection, you can learn anything

388
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: you want these days. Believe me, any piece of information

389
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: that a human needs is online. Now I'm not saying

390
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: you don't need to go to school, you don't need

391
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: a real teacher, but if you need to teach yourself,

392
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: we have never lived in a better time. There are

393
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: millions of people giving away information for free. The number

394
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: one place to look is YouTube. Go ahead, google Windows ten,

395
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: going on YouTube and just search Windows ten tutorial, word tutorial,

396
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: Excel toutorial. Then maybe you need to do something with spreadsheets,

397
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: Excel financial spreadsheets tutorial, get specific and you can learn

398
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: a ton just from YouTube. Then you've got a whole

399
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: bunch of websites that can also help you. And these

400
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: are a bit more polished, maybe a bit more professional.

401
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: But LinkedIn has a great one which is LinkedIn Learning,

402
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: and so they bought something called I think it was Linda,

403
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: and you can just go on here and there's so

404
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: much stuff, sixteen thousand free and paid courses, So just

405
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: look for stuff that's free there and you can watch

406
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: stuff on there and it's pretty good. Then you've got

407
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: other websites like you Demi, So you Demi is another one. Now, again,

408
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: a lot of these websites are going to make you

409
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: pay to really get the most out of them, but

410
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: a lot of them do have some stuff for free.

411
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: So skill share is another one. Of course, Sarah is

412
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: another one. And again there's con Academy. I mean, there's

413
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: just so much. What's the other one for kids? There's

414
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: out School. I mean, there's just so many of these

415
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: online learning hubs that. Believe me, I'm learning Premiere Pro

416
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: right now, which you know, our company switched to Premiere

417
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: for editing. I used Final Cut for the past twenty

418
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: years and now all of a sudden, I'm using Premiere

419
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: overnight And how do you do it? Well, I'm just

420
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: learning like everyone else. I'm sitting there, you know, going

421
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: on YouTube and looking at things, and I'm going on

422
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: just web searches. Hey, how do I do this? How

423
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: do I export? How do I do I mean, there's

424
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: just it's a lot to know. And believe me, this

425
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: is especially with the work from home stuff. Everyone's trying

426
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: to figure this stuff out. So there. The good news is, Sarah,

427
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: there are so many things to do for free. I

428
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: have faith that you will learn and get a job.

429
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: And the fact that you have emailed me means a

430
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: lot because you are really really trying to get ahead.

431
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: So good question and good luck on the job search.

432
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: All right, what do we want to talk about next?

433
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: I guess we'll keep on the Apple for just a

434
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: second here. I'm just going to talk about Apple one.

435
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: So this is Apple's new bundle subscription service. It launched

436
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: and it has three levels of subscriptions. So you've got

437
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: the individual, You've got the Family, and you've got the

438
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: premiere and let me go over which each one of

439
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: these does. Individual is fifteen dollars a month. It includes

440
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: Apple Music, it includes Apple TV Plus, it includes Apple

441
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: Arcade and iCloud fifty gigs. They say it saves you

442
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: six dollars a month over purchasing these things individually. So

443
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: if you're already subscribed to say Apple Music and iCloud

444
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: fifty gigs, and you have TV plus boom, it might

445
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: be an easy decision. Now. I think the only tricky

446
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: thing here right now with these pricing plans is you

447
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: sort of have to subtract. Let me see how much

448
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: Apple TV Plus subscription pricing is. I want to see

449
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: how much that is. It's five dollars a month. Okay,

450
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: so realistically right now October, end of October, early November,

451
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: you have to subtract five dollars from each one of

452
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: these to see if it's actually worth it. Because if

453
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: you bought an Apple device in the past year, you

454
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: are getting Apple TV Plus for free. So the individual

455
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: plan would be ten dollars a month realistically, and that

456
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: would actually be worth it because you're getting Apple Music

457
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: and iCloud for that price. Oh wait, hold on, I

458
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: think you have to add five dollars. Let me think

459
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: about this. Yeah, I think you have to add five dollars,

460
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: so it'd really be twenty dollars. Oh gosh. This is

461
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: when my kid asked me, you know, do I really

462
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: need to know math? And like yes, So I think

463
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: that you would add the five dollars because the TV

464
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: Plus you almost have to take it out of the

465
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: bundle because it's free right now, so you're not getting

466
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: that value out of it. So really I would say

467
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: the individual would be twenty dollars a month. Oh my gosh.

468
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway. You have to kind of figure

469
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: this out for yourself, add up the stuff that you're

470
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: already paying for. So I'll give my example. So I

471
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: would be geared up for the family plan right, this

472
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: is nineteen ninety five a month. You can share it

473
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: with up to five people. That includes Apple Music, Apple

474
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: TV Plus, Apple Arcade, and two hundred gigs of iCloud.

475
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: Now I pay right now, I only pay for iCloud

476
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: two hundred gigs. I get Apple TV Plus for free,

477
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: and I get Apple I used to get Apple Music

478
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: for free through Verizon, but I just downgraded my plan,

479
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: so I'm saving twenty bucks there a month, and now

480
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't get Apple Music. But so Apple Music would

481
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: be fifteen a month, Apple TV Plus would be five

482
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: dollars a month, Apple Arcade would be five, and iCloud

483
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: is three, so I'd be twenty five. That's twenty eight dollars,

484
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: and it's twenty dollars. So now I will say, now

485
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: that I'm looking at this and I'm figuring it out written,

486
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: I would take out that five dollars for Apple TV

487
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: because that's free, So that'd be twenty three dollars. So

488
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: that is twenty three dollars versus twenty, so it would

489
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: be a savings of three dollars a month right now

490
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: for me. But I currently don't subscribe to Apple Music,

491
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: so I really that's where it gets a little tricky

492
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 1: because I don't know if I need Apple Music. I

493
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: have a subscription to Google Play Music. So again, this

494
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: is going to be very individual for you. You have to

495
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: just do the math, add up how much you're spending

496
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: on these things. And also something like Apple Arcade it's

497
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: five dollars, but guess what if I scratched that out

498
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: because I was a subscriber for a year, my kids

499
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: didn't play it, So if you're not using it, it's

500
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: not worth the five dollars. So now when I add

501
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: it up, I get fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen dollars total,

502
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: which is actually two dollars less than the family So

503
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: for me, I am not subscribing now. When I get

504
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: into February, when my Apple TV Plus expires, and I

505
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: add that extra five dollar, so eighteen plus five is

506
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: back up to twenty three. Now I would be saving

507
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 1: three dollars a month if I would like to continue

508
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: with the Apple TV Plus subscription that way it's worth it.

509
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: And then of course i'd have to also use the

510
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: music thing too. Premiere is twenty nine ninety five a month,

511
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: thirty dollars. This is probably the best deal out of

512
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: the whole thing. You get Apple Music from up to

513
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: five people, you get Apple TV Plus, you get Apple Arcade,

514
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: you get two terabytes of iCloud storage. So if you

515
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: hold all your photos in there, that's great. Apple News

516
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: Plus which is ten dollars, and an Apple Fitness Plus,

517
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 1: which I think is ten dollars as well, So that

518
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: is going to be a really great deal if you

519
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: are a super Apple fan and you have all of

520
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: that stuff. But again, it's available now. If you want

521
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: to access it and see kind of like what the

522
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: offers are, go into settings on your iPhone Apple ID

523
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: subscriptions and you'll see a banner that says get Apple one.

524
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: So again it's just a matter of math, and if

525
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: you do your math, you got to figure it out

526
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: and see if it's worth it for you For me,

527
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: it's not worth it right now. And now if I

528
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: was to consolidate a couple things, because right now I

529
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: pay ten bucks a month to Google for the storage there,

530
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 1: if I was able to switch over all my cloud

531
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: storage to Apple. It probably would be worth it to

532
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: get the top of the line one, but right now

533
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to do that. So again, it's a

534
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: very personal thing. But and these bundles are getting a

535
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: little tricky because everyone's offering them, and it's kind of

536
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: a problem because it just gets us more into the

537
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: corner with these services where you can't. So for example,

538
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: with my Verizon, I just went on and it took

539
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: me so long to do this, but I was like,

540
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, now they have this thing where they give

541
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: you instead of just Disney Plus, you get Hulu Plus

542
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: and you get ESPN. But you know, I dropped down.

543
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: I used to get Apple Music included, but I said, well,

544
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: I'd rather save the twenty dollars a month because if

545
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: I get rid of Apple Music, it's really an net

546
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: of five dollars even if I resubscribed. And let me

547
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: explain that. So I save twenty dollars a month if

548
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I resubscribe to Apple Music for me and my wife,

549
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: that's fifteen dollars a month for the family plan. I'm

550
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: still coming out ahead by five dollars. And my plan

551
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: didn't really change with Verizon, Like, I didn't really get

552
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: anything less, so I still have unlimited, I still have

553
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: the same amount of hot Spot, So it really was

554
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: kind of a no brainer. And I'm saving twenty bucks

555
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: a month there at the least. If I resubscribe to

556
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: Apple Music, which I like because it's on my watch,

557
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: I will still be saving five dollars. And while I

558
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: mention that before I get to the next question, let

559
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: me just say something. And I know this applies to

560
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: about one percent of folks out there, but let me

561
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: just explain one thing there. If you're subscribed to Apple

562
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: Music just for your Apple Watch, right so, you just

563
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: want to be able to listen to music on your

564
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, you don't necessarily have to do that. Now,

565
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: we all know that Apple Music is the only service

566
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: right now where you can download music to your watch.

567
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: I belie maybe Pandora is the other one offline Apple Watch.

568
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: Let me see if Pandora works offline. Yeah, so Pandora

569
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: does work as well, so you know, if you're subscribed

570
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: to Apple Music just for that offline. So for me personally,

571
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: I like to run with just my Apple Watch and

572
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: I use the music that it downloads from Apple Music

573
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: to my Watch. Now, I don't have that ability anymore,

574
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: but I will tell you what I do have. I

575
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: have the iHeartRadio Apple Watch app, and I do have

576
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: Cellular on my Apple Watch because I feel like if

577
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm running alone, you know, without my phone, if there's

578
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: ever an emergency, I want to be able to you know,

579
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: call someone, and so I use the This is brand new,

580
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: by the way, from iHeartMedia. So if you use the

581
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app on your Apple Watch, you can listen to

582
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: live radio streaming through Cellular on your watch for free.

583
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: So again, I'm paying that ten dollars a month for

584
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: the Cellular on my Apple Watch. It's unlimited. I don't

585
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: use the music functionality on my watch at any other

586
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: time except when I'm running, So to me, I'm gonna

587
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: go as long as humanly possible with just as free

588
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app because it's perfect. You know, I go

589
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: on a forty minute run, I'm listening to forty minutes

590
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: of music. I'll be honest in the many times that

591
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: I've used it, you know, I five or six times

592
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: so far, I've only heard ads once, and honestly, they're

593
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: only on the more popular stations. So if you're listening

594
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: to like hit radio, Yeah there will be ads, but

595
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: I listen to this country workout and I haven't heard

596
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: any ads at all. Now, sometimes you might hear DJ

597
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: for a minute doing something, you know, saying something silly,

598
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: but it's been pretty darn good. And they've got some

599
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: great workout stations on here. So I'll tell you the

600
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: ones that I subscribe to for the workout stuff I've got.

601
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: And this is the other thing I don't think people

602
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: realize about. iHeart Radio. They've got the local stations, but

603
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: inside the app, if you really dig a little bit,

604
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: they have the equivalent of satellite radio stations on their

605
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: app that are not necessarily like you know, one oh

606
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: four to three MYFM or Kiss FM. It's like a

607
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: generic version of those stations that's almost like a satellite

608
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: version of that. And so it's really interesting. So they

609
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: have something called like hit Nation, right, and so hit

610
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 1: Nation is kind of like sirius XM Hits one and

611
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: it's really fascinating. Okay, so here's the stations. I have

612
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: Country Workout Radio, which I love. If you don't like country,

613
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: then you're not gonna like that, but I do. Hit

614
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: Nation is kind of like their top Hits that's just

626
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:09,440

Speaker 1: Actually you can listen to that. American Top forty eclectic

628

00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: I tweeted about it, he tweeted me back, he said

630
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: he's in La. He's like, oh, he's like, I actually

Speaker 1: programmed that station. Thanks so much for listening to it.

632
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: And then Coffee Shop Radio and that's also that's what

633
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: I listened to on the weekends on Saturday Sunday morning,

634
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: because you know, it's a little bit more laid back.

635
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you iHeartRadio has some really good stuff

636
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: going for completely free, and I just think people ignore

637
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: it or look over it because they think, oh it's free,

638
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: it can't be that good. But I'm telling you, if

639
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: you've got cellular on your Apple Watch and you don't

640
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: want to spend extra money and you want to just

641
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: use your watch, I'm telling you down download the iHeartRadio

642
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: app and it's it's fantastic. And I'm gonna try to

643
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: get my wife on board. That's the only thing I

644
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: may You know, it's a little tricky with her because she,

645
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: you know something, she's known the Apple Music or the

646
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: Apple Music for so long now it's a little tricky

647
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: to like kind of switch. But anyway, but check it out,

648
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: all right, Do we have another question? Of course we do.

649
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: We got lots of questions, all right, Uh, Marshall, Marshlley, Marcelli.

650
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, Marshall. Last week I was on a

651
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: site that I have never been on before. I decided

652
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to purchase something. When I got to the

653
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: part of paying, I hit pay and a pop up

654
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: automatic pop pop up. This is when microphones go crazy

655
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: with a pop pop pup, a pop up pop. This

656
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: is why I talk on the side. If you're watching

657
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: on on the let's see if I talk here, pop up,

658
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: pop up, pop up. Yeah, I don't know. I try

659
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: to talk to the side so I don't get those

660
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: pops automatically came up with my current credit card number.

661
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: I was reluctant to go any further because I cannot

662
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: understand why they could have managed to have a current

663
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: credit card available for me to pick from. So now

664
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, if my tablet gets lost and somebody manages

665
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: to to get into it, could they order like crazy

666
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: with that happening on any site? Should I be concerned?

667
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: I would appreciate a reply thank you, Marshell, mar C H. E. L. E. Marshall, right,

668
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: not Marcelli, not Marcelli, Marcel marcell anyway, So here's what

669
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: I think happened on this website. I think what happened

670
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: is it was something called Stripe, and it might have

671
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: been a Shopify site as well. It could have been

672
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: Shopify or Stripe. So there's a couple of these fintech companies,

673
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: financial tech companies that are trying to make the purchase

674
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: process online as frictionless as possible. Why do they want

675
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: it to be frictionless because the less friction means the

676
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: quicker you will be to buy. Now, my biggest pet

677
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: peeve is with all these food ordering apps, when I

678
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: go to order and I got to set up a

679
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: whole new account just to order a salad at some

680
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: random new place that I found. What I love is

681
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: when they integrate Apple Pay into the app, because boom,

682
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't have to sign up, I don't have to

683
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: sign in. It's just like Apple Pay, Boom, all my

684
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: stuff is there, and it's it's super slick. So on

685
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: the web that you know Apple Pay, maybe you know

686
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: it's there in a couple places. But these websites are

687
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: integrating what's called Stripe or Shopify, and what they do

688
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: is you use your credit card on one website and

689
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: it stores it in the background on the Shopify or

690
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: the Stripe servers, and then when you go to another

691
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: website that supports that shopping protocol, it automatically pops up

692
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: with your credit card number and it says, oh, we

693
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: already have your info. Do you want to just buy?

694
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: And you say, oh, whoa, that's a surprise. I don't

695
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: know how you got that, but okay, And what they

696
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: do is and martial to sort to answer your question.

697
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: It generally, before you can make that purchase, they will

698
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: text a confirmation code to your smartphone to allow you

699
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: to make the transaction go through. So it's not just

700
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: like the information is populated and then it goes in

701
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: and boom. Anyone that's on that web browser can use

702
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: your info. It's realistically a combination of them having the

703
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: information and then texting you for the authorization. Now it

704
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: surprised me on a couple of websites, I've encountered this

705
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: and it's like whoa. But I will say it's slick

706
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: and it's kind of cool because the name of the

707
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: game for me is I want to share my card

708
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 1: number with as least places as possible because the more

709
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: your numbers are out there, the more they are apt

710
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: to getting hacked. And yes, I get it, credit cards,

711
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: you're not going to be liable, but the reality is

712
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: it's still a pain in the you know what, and

713
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: you don't want to have to deal with the headache

714
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: of changing all of your card numbers and all the

715
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: different subscriptions you have or whatever. So at the end

716
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: of the day, I do like this system. I think

717
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: it is frictionless, which of course makes you spend more money,

718
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: but I kind of like it. It's slick, it's nice,

719
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: and it does make life a little bit easier, So

720
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it as long as they're being upfront

721
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: about it. I did go to Stripe and see kind

722
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: of like, if you know, I can like delete my

723
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: card out of them, and I didn't really see a

724
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: way to do that. Maybe it's not the one I

725
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: was thinking. I know, Shopify for sure lets you, you know,

726
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: store your number. But anyway, that's what's happening. I think

727
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: I think you'll be okay. All right, what do I

728
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: want to talk about next? Uh? Should we talk about

729
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: some of the biggest predictions for the holiday shopping season?

730
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: I love Adobe Analytics during the holidays. They are so

731
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: right on when it comes to their holiday shopping predictions.

732
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: Here's how this works. They they work with a bunch

733
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: of you know, major retailers, where at the end of

734
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: the day, they the retailers sort of share their purchasing

735
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: data with Adobe to gain insights, and so they kind

736
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: of scan thing and whatever. Anyway, so there you go,

737
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: So what are their what are their predictions? Number one,

738
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: US online holiday sales will total one hundred and eighty

739
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: nine billion dollars this year, which thirty three percent year

740
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: over year increase. Now I would have thought, you know,

741
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: maybe people because they're not spending as much, it would

742
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: have been lower. But here's what I think that means.

743
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: I think that means that people are probably gonna spend

744
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: less in store and more online because less people are

745
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: going out of their houses. Right now, Cyber Monday is

746
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: going to remain the biggest online shopping day of the year,

747
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: twelve point seven billion dollars in one day, thirty five

748
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: percent over last year. Smartphones Americans will spend twenty eight

749
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: billion dollars more on their smartphones, accounting for forty two

750
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: percent of all online sales. And I've noticed that with myself,

751
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: I've noticed myself picking up my smartphone more to do,

752
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, to sorry. So I've I've noticed myself sort

753
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: of shopping on my phone more because it is easier

754
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: sometimes with these with these apps, okay, top anticipate and

755
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: by the way, it goes back to that whole Apple

756
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: pay thing. If I can use my stored payment, then

757
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 1: of course I want to use that. Most anticipated gifts

758

00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 1: is going to continue to sell because it's a blast.

768
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: My kids love theirs. They're on Animal Crossing, and I

769
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: got my little kid the switch light, which is just perfect,

770
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, unless you're really playing on the TV screen.

771
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: I think the switch light is just fine. All right,

772
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: let's take another question. Bob says, hey, Rich, are you

773
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: still doing the newsletter? I haven't gotten one in a

774
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,479
Speaker 1: while and wanting to make sure that I haven't gotten

775
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: dropped from the list or something. Thanks Bob. Uh Nope,

776
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: still doing the newsletter Rich on tech dot tv. You

777
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: can sign up for it it's a substack newsletter. Substack

778
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: is this great platform that a lot of people are

779
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: using because you know, unlike something like Mailchimp, substack lets

780
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: you send to I think as many people as you

781
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: want for free. So I have, you know, a whole

782
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: bunch of people on there. And uh, let's see how

783
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: many subscribers on to the rich on Tech podcast or

784
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: newsletter twelve thousand, five hundred and seven. So twelve thousand,

785
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: five hundred and seven of you and Bob, just checking

786
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: for your email address, you are in there. So I

787
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: think what happens is I do send it out every

788
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: other week and so maybe that's why you're you know,

789
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: missing it, or it could be going to spam, So

790
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: definitely check your spam search for substack dot com and

791
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: see if my email is going there. But the good

792
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 1: news is, out of twelve five hundred and seven, let's

793
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: see eleven and fifty five of you opened it last week.

794
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: So that's good. So there is a lot of I

795
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: love doing the newsletter. It's a lot of work on

796
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: my part, but I love doing it because it's again

797
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: another way to connect. So if you want to sign up,

798
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: go to rich on tech dot substack dot com it's

799
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: completely free, and it's it's just you know, it's a

800
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: it's a rundown of like a lot of the stuff

801
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: that I mentioned throughout the two weeks, in between the podcast,

802
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: in between the newsletters, and it's just a good way

803
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: to sort of keep up with what's going on. And

804
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: that's it, all right, let's talk about Oh, this is

805
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 1: really interesting. This is this is fantastic, especially for work

806
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: at home. Uh epoccam. Have you heard of it? We

807
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: did a story on this a while back. It's an

808
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: app that turns your iPhone into a webcam, and I

809
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: believe when we did it it was just maybe is

810
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: it Android and iOS? I don't. I think it's just

811
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: your iPhone. Well anyway, Elgado, which is a great company

812
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: that makes a ton of stuff, they just bought this app,

813
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: and I believe let's see if they made it free.

814
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: Is it free? It's eight dollars. Okay, so eight bucks.

815
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: But the reality is you can turn your old your

816
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 1: current phone or you're you know, an old iPhone into

817
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: a webcam ten ADP full HD. Oh you can use

818
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: it for free or pro is eight dollars. So again,

819
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: this is just good to know you can turn your

820
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: iPhone or your iPad into a wireless Oh wireless, that's cool.

821
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: High definition webcam for Windows and Mac Os works seamlessly

822
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: with major applications like Zoom, Skype, Obs, Studio, Google, Meet,

823
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: Microsoft Teams to chat stream or record in HD. And

824
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: so again, the fact that this was purchased by a

825
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: big company makes it great because it's going to be supported.

826
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,479
Speaker 1: And so the one that I looked at before was good,

827
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: but I think that having this company behind it makes

828
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: it even better. So again, it's called epoch epoccam available

829
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: if you need a webcam. It's just something good to

830
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: know and go check it out. All right, going a

831
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: little long here, but you know what, I don't care.

832
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: There's no time limits on this show. Let's see. Sou

833
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: Foster says, I'm getting ads for apps that will print

834
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: picks off my phone. I have several years of vacation picks,

835
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: house stream model pictures i'd like in albums, and clean

836
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: up my phone. What do you think of these apps? Ooh, well,

837
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be printing pictures and then

838
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: deleting them off your phone. No way, that's not very good.

839
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: So if you want just these things in little albums

840
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: that you can put on your coffee table. Yeah, there's

841
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 1: a bunch of apps that will do that. Now, if

842
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: you want to just clear up your phone, I would

843
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: recommend the sand disk, I expand Go, or I would

844
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: just download Google Photos to your iPhone, let it back

845
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: up everything, and then it will delete pictures off your phone,

846
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: but it will save them in the cloud. Now, if

847
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: you're looking to just print pictures, there's a couple websites

848
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: I'll recommend. Number one is Groovebook. And I got to say,

849
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, I've been wrong on a few things in

850
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: my time at KTLA, and Groovebook is one of them.

851
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: I got an email from a guy named Brian at

852
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: Groovebook back in February twenty thirteen. Alright, no sorry, January

853
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, twenty thirteen, and he came up with an

854
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: app called Groovebook, and I'll be honest, I kind of

855
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: blew it off. And he was like, oh, this is

856
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: so great. You know, you can download pictures or you

857
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: can print pictures of your kid. It's an app that

858
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: delivers let's see. Anyway, the long and short of it

859
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: is I kind of, you know, didn't really do anything

860
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: on it. And next thing. You know, guess who bought

861
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: Groovebook for a cool however much money but it was

862
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: Shutterfly and yeah, so rich didn't really get that one. Anyway,

863
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 1: groove Book is a good one. Let's see what else

864
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: do we have. Mixed Book is another one. Now I

865
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: have looked at Mixbook. I did a little test book

866
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: with them. It was great. Chat Books I think is

867
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: a husband wife team and they're really good. And then

868
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: of course Google Photos. If you want to go with

869
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: a big corporate conglomerate, you can print your photo books

870
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: right from Google Photos. But I always mean to do

871
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: this every month and I just kind of forget to

872
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: do it. But I'd like to do more photo books

873
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: because they are really fun to just have on your

874
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: car coffee table and flip through and look at. But

875
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: I always just forget to do it. But I need

876
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: to do that. All right, Let's see anything else I

877
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: want to talk about before I get out of here.

878
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: I did take a look at the Hummer EV the

879
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: Hummers coming back as an electric vehicle. I got to

880
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: see the prototype. If you want to watch it on

881
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel, just search Hummer EV rich on Tech

882
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: and it should bring you up that video. But here's

883
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: my impression Number one. I thought it was pretty cool,

884
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: and for a for a split second, I was thinking

885
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: to myself, this would kind of be a cool truck

886
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: for me to have, because you know, it's all electric,

887
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: but it looks all cool and rugged, and here I

888
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: am the tech guy. But then I heard the price,

889
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: which is one hundred and twelve thousand bucks, and immediately no,

890
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: I barely want to buy the Tesla for like forty.

891
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: But the truck features a couple unique things. It's three

892
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles to the gallon. It will recharge

893
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: zero two one hundred miles in ten minutes if you

894
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: got the super fast charger. It's got this crab walk

895
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: feature which allows the tires to sort of rotate just

896
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: a little bit and kind of shimmy diagonally. I didn't know.

897
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see any of these things demoed. What I

898
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: saw was a prototype that looked like a truck, but

899
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it even drove, to be honest,

900
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: extract mode, which the front of the car raises up

901
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: six inches to get over like a big rock. And

902
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: by the way, I'd never find myself in any of

903
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: the situations where I'd need to use these features because

904
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: I'm not going off roading like that underbody armor ultravision

905
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: which has all these cameras up to eighteen cameras around

906
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: the car or truck, I should say, to help you

907
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: spot stuff. What else? Three hundred and fifty miles to

908
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: the gallon super CRUs which allows you to you know,

909
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: hands free driving on two hundred thousand miles of roads,

910
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: plus an automatic lane changing system oh watts to freedom

911
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: zero to sixty and three seconds. And again this is

912
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: going into production next year twenty twenty one, and it's

913
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: going to beailable in twenty twenty two. The first wave

914
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: of reservations has already sold out. It was like one

915
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for the reservation, so it's not like that

916
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: big of a deal, and who knows how many they

917
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: actually had available. But to me, when you look at

918
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: this versus say, the cyber truck, which I think is

919
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: going to be like, you know, half the price, you know,

920
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: it looks really cool. Look, this is for someone who

921
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: does not need to worry about the money. This is

922
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: not someone who has to worry about where they're spending

923
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten thousand dollars one hundred and fifteen.

924
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, when you do all the math, it's going

925
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: to be way more with taxes and all that stuff.

926
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: But it's cool. I like that GMS doing this. Personally,

927
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: I would like to see them putting a little bit

928
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: more effort into something like the Bolt, or maybe similar

929
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: cars to that that are more reasonable for the average person,

930
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: or maybe a good looking, you know, electric car, kind

931
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: of like the Tesla is a great looking electric car

932
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: if you ask me, the Tesla three, it's very simple looking,

933
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe something more close to that. The

934
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: volt and the bolt have a very unique look that

935
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: is not for everyone, and so you know, it's just

936
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: the way it is. Let's see one more question c S.

937
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how to say the name, but anyway,

938
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 1: my laptop is a question. My laptop is a twenty

939
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: twelve model. Do I need one that's more updated or

940
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: should I just buy an eurosystem? I have one laptop,

941
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: one phone connected to my modem. The modem is in

942
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: a room separate from my laptop and phone. Can you

943
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: please advise me? I'd probably put the money towards the

944
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: laptop and not the Eero. I think if your modem

945
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: is in one room, next to the you know laptop.

946
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: Your laptop's in the other room, and that's all you

947
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: have connected. I think it spend the money on the laptop.

948
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: It's twenty twelve, it's going on eight years old, depending

949
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: on what kind of model it is. You know, it's

950
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: probably pretty slow at this point. So it works. But

951
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think that if you want to upgrade,

952
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: you want a little bit better speed, and I think

953
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: the Wi Fi connection will probably be inherently better on

954
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: a newer laptop than it is on an older laptop.

955
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: So that's something to keep in mind. There. Oh, that

956
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: music means it is the end of the show. Can

957
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: you believe it? That is going to do it. If

958
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: you'd like to submit a question for me to answer,

959
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,120

Speaker 1: and review it, and Victoria from Lahabra Heights says been

967
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: watching Rich on KTLA as far back as he's been

968
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: on I look forward to his tips and now I

969
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: don't feel cheated if I miss his KTLA presentation. I

970
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: just listened to his podcasts and I get far more

971
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: than I ever did. Wait, that's not very good for

972
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: my TV segments. Rich, I really appreciate all the effort

973
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: that you put into your podcast. Thank you very much

974
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: for your diligence. Well, thank you, Victoria in Lahabra Heights.

975
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: I will say the KTLA segments are still the bread

976
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: and butter, so don't stop watching those. But the reality

977
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: is I get two minutes on KTLA. I get an

978
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 1: hour here and on social media, so it's a very

979
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: different way of approaching it. In those two minutes on TV,

980
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: I have to get across just the basics, just the

981
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: best information for the average viewer. My podcast is a

982
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: chance for me to take a deep dive into all

983
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: these topics and really talk about the nitty gritty stuff

984
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: that I think people should know if they're interested. You

985
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: can find me online at rich on Tech. Follow me

986
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,000

987
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: effort these days. Of course, I'm on Facebook and Twitter

988
