WEBVTT - Math is key when it comes to bundle plans 0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:10.160 Hands on with the iPhone twelve and the Pixel five. 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:15.400 The wisecam has a new feature, and Apple one is 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.599 officially launched. What's going on? I'm Rich Damiro and this 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.360 is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk about 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.880 the tech stuff I think you should know about, and 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.440 it's where I answer the questions that you send me, 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.880 and boy do you send a lot of them. I'm 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.839 the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.559 Thanks so much for tuning in listening to what I 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:42.720 have to say. This is it. This is the couple 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.440 of weeks before the holidays. We don't have much time 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.400 to shop and it is quite the interesting year because 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:56.520 the pandemic has sent everything topsy turvy upside down all around. Uh, 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.880 but still people want to get those gifts and the 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.200 smartphones keep coming. The rest of the tech keeps coming, 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.800 and it just keeps getting delivered to me. So I 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.720 will talk about it because it's important for you to 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.199 know what people think of this stuff before you spend 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.840 your hard earned cash on it. And one thing that 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.760 I have been playing with for the past couple of 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.800 weeks is the iPhone twelve. Last week's episode was more 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.520 just a discussion with Apple about it, and I can 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.000 give you some of my thoughts on it. So what 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.279 can I say. I mean, it feels like I'm using 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.440 last year's iPhone, except it's faster, the camera seems a 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.880 little bit better perhaps, and the battery definitely has taken 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.199 a nose dive. I noticed that sort of by the afternoon, 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.240 I'm down to like thirty percent, and it's noticeable. Versus 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:50.200 my old phone. It would I wouldn't even think about 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.400 the battery all day long. I mean, it just wasn't 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.080 even an issue. But again, you've got the iPhone twelve 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.600 and the iPhone twelve pro lots of people have them 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.840 in their hands. So the five G, I will say 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.120 I like having, even though I have yet to sort 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.480 of see it impact my daily life. And yesterday I 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.079 was in downtown Los Angeles where they have the Ultra 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.240 wide band on Verizon at least, and this is like 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.840 the absolute fastest five G you can find anywhere. And 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.720 I was driving to my segment and I had to 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.760 stop because on my car it said five GUW. I said, ooh, 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.240 what's that? Let me stop and do a speed test, 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.320 And sure enough, the speed test was absolutely the kind 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.240 of the fastest speeds I've ever seen on a smartphone. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.720 I think it reached about eight hundred, which is pretty 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.280 darn fast, when typically you might see one hundred, and 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.880 if you're on just standard LSE, you probably see something 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.720 closer to like twenty maybe sixty at the highest. So 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.360 eight hundreds pretty good. But it's just in a tiny 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.600 area of downtown. Hopefully that that will be in more places, 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.280 and it really made me think when this five G 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.320 is in a place where it is that fast everywhere, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.720 if that ever happen weapons I mean, that is life 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.080 changing because now you have the same speeds that you 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.359 can use for your home network. You know, you can 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.880 replace your your cable internet with something that is wireless 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.400 and there's just no barrier. I mean, you can upload 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.440 and download huge files in seconds. And so now the 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.160 cloud becomes your storage facility instead of local storage. And 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.240 now that opens up a whole bunch of possibilities for 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.560 computers because now you don't need a high powered computer 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.160 with a lot of storage, because five G lets you 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.160 do whatever you need to do in the cloud just 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:37.320 as fast as it is on your system. Let's see 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.880 the design of the phone. I really do like it. 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.360 It's square, It's nice and square. The twelve Pro that 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.560 I've been using is very easy to hold in your hand. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.920 It's I think it's the perfect size. Originally I was 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.080 going to purchase the twelve Pro Max, but I'm not 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.480 sure that I need that anymore because the twelve Pro 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.680 is such a great size, which is the same size 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.800 as a twelve So I'm sure some people will like 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.080 the Mini when it comes out on November thirteenth. That's 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.840 a much smaller phone that's too small for me. And 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.760 then the Promax might be too big for me at 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.360 this point because I'm now so used to this easily 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.280 pocketable size right in the middle of the six point 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:18.320 one inch screen. So I'm digging it. The software, I'm 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.360 still having some issues here and there with a couple 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.160 of little software things. Ceramic shield. I have not been 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.599 able to test because I'm not dropping this thing just 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.799 to drop it. But I will say that all State 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.080 did some tests and let's see, so they do what's 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:38.240 called all State is now they own Square Trade, and 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.359 so they do their drop tests and they say that 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.119 they did drop it from let's see what was their tests? 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.039 I think it was six feet yeah, about six feet, 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:53.640 So the iPhone twelve performed better than any previously tested smartphone. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:58.640 So that's pretty good right there. During face down breakability 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.200 drop tests, the ceramics shield old screen improved durability. Although 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.480 both device is the same damage after landing on a 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.760 rough sidewalk from six feet, the twelve Pro and the 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.839 twelve flat side design appears to improve durability when dropped 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.479 on their rear panels. And the bottom line here is 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.280 that if you drop your phone, chances are it will 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.560 not just shatter the screen as in years past, perhaps 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:27.480 as easily, but it will still have issues. You know, well, 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.920 I should say the phone is going to perform just fine. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.440 It's the look and feel of it. The you know, 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.760 is going to be all scratched up and all messed up. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.480 So you still don't want to drop your phone, but 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.320 the reality is you may not have to get a 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.039 screen repair if you do, so I like that. Let's 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.560 see what else. Night mode definitely improved on this camera. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.800 But I will say I took this phone out. You know, 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.800 I've been testing a lot of phones lately, so I 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.680 one night my wife was out, so you know, of 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.000 course on board and the kids are out and So 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:04.240 I took the Samsung Galaxy S twenty f E, the 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.240 Pixel five, and the iPhone twelve Pro, and I just 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.000 took them outside in a whole bunch of low light 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.680 scenarios and I took some pictures of the moon and 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.799 the stars. And I will say the iPhone twelve is great. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.160 I think that it's the simplest. It gives you the 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.560 best picture in like a very fast, easy way. But 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.320 the S twenty FE, which is five hundred and ninety 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.440 nine bucks or six ninety nine depending on whether it's 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:32.440 on sale, I gotta say, performed very well, and especially 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.280 in the night mode when you toggle that on on Samsung, 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.080 it doesn't always toggle on by itself, or on the 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.560 iPhone it does, which is kind of nice. But when 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.080 it's on, it worked pretty well and I got pretty 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.599 much very similar pictures that I was able to get 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.920 on the iPhone on that phone, very similar, I wouldn't 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.599 say exactly the same. And on the Pixel, the Pixel 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.240 is still good. But the Pixel this is my problem, 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.200 and I guess I'll get into my Pixel review as well. 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:05.039 The Pixel five. I love the pixel. Google's phone holds 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.920 a place near and dear to my heart because I 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.560 just love the Google operating system. I love Android, especially 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.320 the way that Google does it. It's just perfect. It's 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.120 so smart as a smartphone, whereas to me, the iPhone 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.080 not so smart, but it's much more of a creator device. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.480 So when I'm looking to make something for Instagram or 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.440 Facebook or go Live, like I am here, the iPhone 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.440 is really what does it And the iPhone also has 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.160 all the accessories, whereas the Pixel. You know, I went 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.800 shopping for a case to see what kind of cases 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:37.200 are on Amazon, and I found like one rinky dink 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.640 case and it's like eh, and it's just also so small, 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.960 even though when I put them side by side the 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.040 screens are similar. For some reason, the Pixel just seems 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.480 tiny in my hand, the Pixel five and it just 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:53.120 seems delicate and like just not very full powered, whereas 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.600 the iPhone. When the iPhone is in my pocket, I 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.160 feel like I can conquer the world because it is. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.760 It feels like it is the stand device that does 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.040 it all and everyone knows about it. And it's kind 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:10.280 of sad that everyone just assumes use an iPhone and 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.400 they don't even give these other brands a chance. So 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.200 I really love what Pixel does with their software. I 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.760 feel like they put out a very underpowered phone for 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.520 a creator, But for the average person who's just using 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.320 their phone to take nice pictures and to answer phone 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.960 calls and to do Google searches and to run your apps, 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.800 it's just fine. And the price is going to come 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.280 down over the holidays, So don't be afraid of the 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.120 Pixel over the holiday season. Don't be afraid of the 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:42.840 Samsung S twenty fe. I think for most people, I 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.120 personally really like the the iPhone. I really like the 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.400 Pixel four A five G. I think that's a great 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.679 combination of screen size and also what you can do 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.000 on the phone with a camera. Although it just feels 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.320 dated compared to these other devices, the Samsung just feels 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.160 nicer in the hand, it seems snappier, and of course 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:05.959 it has a lot, you know like it seems like 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.439 it has more features. So I think you have a 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.240 good a good choice of phones this holiday season. If 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.760 you're looking to upgrade, you can't really go wrong with 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:18.040 the iPhone twelve the Pixel four A five G if 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.000 you don't worry about the you know, fastest specs, and 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:26.439 also the Samsung S twenty fe is near perfect and 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.079 the only thing about that phone that bugs me is 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.120 that they didn't put enough memory in it like RAM. 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.960 So it's not It's speedy because as the newest processor, 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.959 but I wish it had a couple more gigs of 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.920 RAM to really let it compete. But otherwise, I think 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.040 that we are doing really well this year when it 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.360 comes to phones. So if you have more questions for me, 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.480 hit me up on social media at rich On Tech. 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.200 I've been playing with all these devices, believe me. So 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.040 if you have questions, let me know and I will 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.040 do my best to answer them for you. Let's get 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:57.320 to the first question of the day, Mike, Friend of 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.200 the show. Mike says, Hey, rich I hope that you 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.960 and your family are doing well. If you haven't already heard, 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.160 Quibi is shutting down it's service. I was very disappointed, 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.480 as they had some very good programs to watch. I 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.959 just paid for another month and no mention of a refund, 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.080 so I guess I amount a few bucks. Anyway, you 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.880 may want to get the word out on your program. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.000 I am doing well. Take care, stay in touch, Mike. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.840 Mike used to call into the show back in the 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.480 day when I did live callers. Maybe one day I'll 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.560 bring that back. Yes, Quibi is shutting down. I just 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:31.439 this makes me really angry because they spent about I 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.840 mean they had a billion. Over a billion dollars one 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.200 point seventy five billion is the number being thrown around. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.080 Just just give me a million of that and I 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.040 will create amazing tech content for the next decade. With 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.760 a million bucks. They spent a billion on a on 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.400 a service that lasted six months. All I need is 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.840 a million and I will do tech stuff for the 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.200 next ten years. So if anyone wants to fund that, 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.679 let me know, and I am happy to take that 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.560 million dollars and give you a reach turn on it. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:05.800 Because Quibi just went caput after six months, and you 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:11.760 had such smart people running this, I mean Meg Whitman, Katzenberg. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.600 These people are are you know, they know what they're doing. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.800 But what they didn't understand is Number one, you can't 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.559 charge people. Whatever it was I think it was five 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.360 six ninety nine a month for this service and include ads, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.560 no way. I mean I got a little free trial. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.800 I think it was ninety days to Quibi and there 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.680 was no way I was going to pay six bucks 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.760 or wherever they wanted. I think it was six ninety nine, 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.200 when Netflix is like, you know, for the standard one, 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:46.760 it's like thirteen dollars and no way, so quibi you 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.040 just you just didn't get it right. Plus the other 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.520 thing is, and I hate to say this, but they 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.160 think that celebrities are going to bring in all the viewers. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:02.880 And honestly, these days, people don't necessarily care about celebrities. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.440 They care about content. They care about their favorite personalities. 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.800 So if you look at these folks on YouTube that 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:14.600 are making a great living on YouTube, you go into 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.440 a random household and you say, hey, do you know 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.520 this person on YouTube? No, they have no clue. And 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.840 it doesn't matter because that person on YouTube is not 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.600 sitting there crying that they are not a household name, 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:31.000 because guess what, they are connecting with their people. That's 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.560 the way I feel being on KTLA and doing all 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.080 the stuff I do on social media. Ninety nine point 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.719 nine percent of people have no idea who rich on 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.600 tech is. And guess what, that does not matter. What 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.320 matters is the one person that I connect with and 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.640 help them with their cell phone bill, or help them 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.160 choose their next computer, or help them get out of 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.480 a rut with the software they need and their zoom situation. 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.000 That's what matters. And I think that these one to 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.440 one connection on a much smaller scale are way more 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.520 important than a big celebrity that has no connection to 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.320 the person watching on Quibi, and that celebrity made a 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.400 ton of money and they're on to the next thing, 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.920 whereas these YouTubers, they are dedicated and they're much more 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.160 connected with their audiences because guess what they have to be. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.040 They're not just getting millions of dollars thrown at them, 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.040 and then they don't care if the product works or not, 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.880 or the service works or not. They don't care what 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.840 Quibi's long term is. They get that million bucks and 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.600 they're done. So Quibi really sad, but I don't think 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.120 anyone's shedding a tear except for the folks that work there, 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.040 which of course it's sad to see all these people 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.000 out of a job. And I'm sure there's very smart 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.840 people there. But they should have been smarter at the top. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.760 They should have funded the rich On Tech Show and 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.920 they would have had a hit. That's all I'm saying. 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.640 They should have maybe mixed in a few people there 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.960 there were not so big names and gotten them to 0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.320 sort of, you know, help the service take off. And 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.520 by the way, it should have been free for a year. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.360 When they saw the pandemic happening. They should have known 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.400 Apple did they made Apple TV Plus free. And do 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.640 you think anyone's rushing out to subscribe to Apple TV Plus. No. 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.199 But the reality is it doesn't matter because they don't 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.280 have to make that decision right now because Apple made 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.000 it for them and they said, look, we're gonna give 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.520 you all this content that's pretty awesome. And I think 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.720 Apple TV Plus is coming out with some really good 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.840 content and it's starting to prove itself. And so by 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.320 the time in February when people start having to make 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.360 that decision to subscribe, they'll say, you know what, for 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.280 five bucks a month, I think this has been pretty 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.960 good to me. I'm excited to watch that on the 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:42.080 Rocks movie. I'm excited to watch Greyhound. I love the 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.280 Morning Show. I mean, we know that all you need 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.040 is one good show a month for these services to 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.920 be worth it, and that's the magic formula. And it 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.440 can't be that expensive. Quibi was way too expensive for 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.160 what you got. And Mike, I'm sorry that you got 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:03.560 no refund. That's unfortunate, but you know that maybe they Yeah, 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.120 there's no proration with these things when you cancel Netflix 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.240 or whatever. There's no no proration. All right, let's move 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.800 on to the next story. Let's talk about let's talk 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.920 about the wyscam, because they came out with a new 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:21.240 version this week, the Wysecam Version three, and I was 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.000 a little upset that Wyse came out with a new 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:29.960 version so close to the outdoor version that I just featured. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:31.520 And now all of a sudden they come out with 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.160 the Wyscam V three that is indoor outdoor. Now there 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.520 are some major differences between these two cameras, but still, 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.800 this one's twenty dollars. It's simple, it's plug and play, 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.360 it works inside and outside, and it's at heart a 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.800 similar camera to the one that they first launched, but 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.960 it now works inside outside and that's a huge deal 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.400 for twenty bucks. Now, the big difference between these two 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.520 cameras is that this one is wired, so you have 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.480 to plug it in to get the power source twenty 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.040 four to seven, whereas the outdoor cam, that one was 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:08.880 a strictly rechargeable camera that you can post outside anywhere 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.040 you want. So let me go over some of the 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.040 features between the version, you know, the old version and 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.800 the new version. So number one, the new version still 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.680 twenty dollars and it's still, you know, a little tiny 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.000 camera that you plug in. The difference is the cord 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.400 is now permanently affixed to the back of the camera 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.720 and then there's sort of a breakaway point that is 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.920 rubber insulated, so that enables it to be an outdoor 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.200 camera because the two areas where the cord connects are 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.520 sealed in a way that they will withstand the elements. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.200 It's IP sixty five, so it is indoor outdoor. It's 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.360 got a starlight sensor, which means you can actually use 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.320 this without night vision, and it will take in so 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.800 much light that you can get a color night vision shot. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.280 So you have to choose one or the other. Do 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.480 you want black and white night vision or do you 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.440 want just a lower light which takes in more but 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.880 it's in color. You have that choice. Then they've got 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.080 this dual ir system, which is kind of cool, the 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.160 infrared system. If you use this as a baby monitor, 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.160 they actually have close up LEDs that are not red, 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.119 so if you use it as a baby monitor, you 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:17.239 don't have those LEDs blaring in your child's face. So 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:22.720 that's kind of neat three options for mounting magnetic now, tripod, 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.200 and screw, so there's more ways to sort of mount 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.680 this thing. Still ten ADP resolution, Still a thirty two 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.720 gigabyte local storage, so if you want twenty four to 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.359 seven recording, you pop an SD card in there up 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.200 to thirty two gigs and it will just continuously record 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.680 on that microSD card. Highly recommend you do that. Then 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.320 you've got the cloud storage, which is free. So this 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.840 will record motion and sound for twelve seconds at a 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.680 time with a five minute cool down. And what that 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.480 means is that when it records those twelve seconds, it 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.320 then goes into a hibernation mode for five minutes, and 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.560 then if there's more motion, it will record again. So 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.800 you may or may not capture exactly what you need 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.560 with that twelve seconds, but that's totally free. You don't 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.600 have to pay anything per month for this device. It's 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.480 got a wider field of view at one hundred and 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.399 thirty degrees versus one hundred and ten. It's a little 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:14.240 smoother playback because you get slightly more frames twenty frames 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.399 playback during the day versus fifteen on the old camera. 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.520 Fifteen at night versus ten on the old camera. It's 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:24.920 got a much larger aperture, one point six versus two 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.040 point six, so that means the night vision is gonna 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.600 get much more light. Now it's gonna operate on the 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.080 same frequency for Wi Fi as before. It is still 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.720 just a single mode, which is two point four gigaherts. 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.560 I know a lot of you want that five gigahertz 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.080 so you can connect it faster into your new router whatever, 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.200 but it's still two point four gigaherts. I'm guessing cost 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.359 is the reason there. There's also this little siren that's 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.560 built in which is kind of cool, eighty decibels mini siren, 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.720 and it sounds great. It's a nice little deterrent if 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.800 you need it. And the two way talk is definitely in. 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.479 It's now sort of instead of just that walkie talkie 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.840 two way, it is now much smoother where you can 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.040 kind of open the conversation and both talk at the 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.280 same time. So again that's the Wise CaMV three the 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.960 way that wis does this, and I love Wise, but 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.480 this kind of bugs me. They do these pre order 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.199 things where all these people hear about me talk about it, 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.080 they order it, and they don't get their order for 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.520 like another couple of weeks, and so they end up 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.520 emailing me saying, Rich, I ordered this, I never got 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.359 my order. But what Wise must do is get all 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:33.359 these pre orders collected and then somehow either I don't know, 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:37.280 but they So this ship date is mid November, so 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.520 if you order it now, you can get it in 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.320 mid November. So there's going to be a three to 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.480 four week lag minimum by the time you order to 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.440 the when you get it, which is rare these days 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.119 because we're so used to ordering stuff on Amazon and 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.199 getting it the very next day. So it is it 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.439 does throw people for a loop. I get it. But 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.840 if you order something from Wise, just keep in mind 0:19:57.880 --> 0:19:59.439 you'll probably have to wait just a little bit to 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:06.919 get it. Let's get to the next question here, and 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:11.080 the next question is from Sarah good Day. I need 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.680 to learn more about Windows ten word and Excel. I'm 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.440 out of work and needing to know more to apply 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.800 for certain jobs due to the virus. I'm looking for 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.080 remote jobs. I need to know more about Windows ten 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:26.920 word and Excel. Objection already said asked an answer at 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.760 this point. That's my old mock trial coming through. At 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.960 this point, I cannot pay a lot for lessons more 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.480 of a hands on, but books might be my only option. No, Sarah, 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:40.080 if you have an Internet connection, you can learn anything 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:45.000 you want these days. Believe me, any piece of information 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.440 that a human needs is online. Now I'm not saying 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.280 you don't need to go to school, you don't need 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.280 a real teacher, but if you need to teach yourself, 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.240 we have never lived in a better time. There are 0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:00.560 millions of people giving away information for free. The number 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.000 one place to look is YouTube. Go ahead, google Windows ten, 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:08.760 going on YouTube and just search Windows ten tutorial, word tutorial, 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.440 Excel toutorial. Then maybe you need to do something with spreadsheets, 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:17.440 Excel financial spreadsheets tutorial, get specific and you can learn 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.439 a ton just from YouTube. Then you've got a whole 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.760 bunch of websites that can also help you. And these 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.840 are a bit more polished, maybe a bit more professional. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.879 But LinkedIn has a great one which is LinkedIn Learning, 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.760 and so they bought something called I think it was Linda, 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.840 and you can just go on here and there's so 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.879 much stuff, sixteen thousand free and paid courses, So just 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:44.880 look for stuff that's free there and you can watch 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:49.720 stuff on there and it's pretty good. Then you've got 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:54.160 other websites like you Demi, So you Demi is another one. Now, again, 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.600 a lot of these websites are going to make you 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.760 pay to really get the most out of them, but 0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:01.879 a lot of them do have some stuff for free. 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.520 So skill share is another one. Of course, Sarah is 0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:10.360 another one. And again there's con Academy. I mean, there's 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:14.040 just so much. What's the other one for kids? There's 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:17.160 out School. I mean, there's just so many of these 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:22.120 online learning hubs that. Believe me, I'm learning Premiere Pro 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:25.159 right now, which you know, our company switched to Premiere 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.480 for editing. I used Final Cut for the past twenty 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.800 years and now all of a sudden, I'm using Premiere 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:33.840 overnight And how do you do it? Well, I'm just 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:37.400 learning like everyone else. I'm sitting there, you know, going 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:40.040 on YouTube and looking at things, and I'm going on 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:42.959 just web searches. Hey, how do I do this? How 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:44.640 do I export? How do I do I mean, there's 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.359 just it's a lot to know. And believe me, this 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.200 is especially with the work from home stuff. Everyone's trying 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:54.240 to figure this stuff out. So there. The good news is, Sarah, 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:56.159 there are so many things to do for free. I 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.560 have faith that you will learn and get a job. 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.960 And the fact that you have emailed me means a 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.399 lot because you are really really trying to get ahead. 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:08.560 So good question and good luck on the job search. 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:11.640 All right, what do we want to talk about next? 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:13.439 I guess we'll keep on the Apple for just a 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:15.840 second here. I'm just going to talk about Apple one. 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:20.600 So this is Apple's new bundle subscription service. It launched 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:26.280 and it has three levels of subscriptions. So you've got 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:29.479 the individual, You've got the Family, and you've got the 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.440 premiere and let me go over which each one of 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:35.159 these does. Individual is fifteen dollars a month. It includes 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.359 Apple Music, it includes Apple TV Plus, it includes Apple 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:43.240 Arcade and iCloud fifty gigs. They say it saves you 0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:46.639 six dollars a month over purchasing these things individually. So 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:50.320 if you're already subscribed to say Apple Music and iCloud 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:54.080 fifty gigs, and you have TV plus boom, it might 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.600 be an easy decision. Now. I think the only tricky 0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.520 thing here right now with these pricing plans is you 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:02.320 sort of have to subtract. Let me see how much 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:07.320 Apple TV Plus subscription pricing is. I want to see 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:11.159 how much that is. It's five dollars a month. Okay, 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:16.720 so realistically right now October, end of October, early November, 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.520 you have to subtract five dollars from each one of 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:22.240 these to see if it's actually worth it. Because if 0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.840 you bought an Apple device in the past year, you 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:28.040 are getting Apple TV Plus for free. So the individual 0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:30.960 plan would be ten dollars a month realistically, and that 0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:33.959 would actually be worth it because you're getting Apple Music 0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:37.840 and iCloud for that price. Oh wait, hold on, I 0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:39.840 think you have to add five dollars. Let me think 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:42.840 about this. Yeah, I think you have to add five dollars, 0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:45.800 so it'd really be twenty dollars. Oh gosh. This is 0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:47.320 when my kid asked me, you know, do I really 0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:50.560 need to know math? And like yes, So I think 0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:53.680 that you would add the five dollars because the TV 0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:56.119 Plus you almost have to take it out of the 0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.399 bundle because it's free right now, so you're not getting 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:01.320 that value out of it. So really I would say 0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.600 the individual would be twenty dollars a month. Oh my gosh. 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:06.840 I don't know anyway. You have to kind of figure 0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:08.520 this out for yourself, add up the stuff that you're 0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:10.560 already paying for. So I'll give my example. So I 0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:14.760 would be geared up for the family plan right, this 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:16.800 is nineteen ninety five a month. You can share it 0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:19.639 with up to five people. That includes Apple Music, Apple 0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:22.600 TV Plus, Apple Arcade, and two hundred gigs of iCloud. 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:26.560 Now I pay right now, I only pay for iCloud 0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:29.200 two hundred gigs. I get Apple TV Plus for free, 0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:32.080 and I get Apple I used to get Apple Music 0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:34.320 for free through Verizon, but I just downgraded my plan, 0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.119 so I'm saving twenty bucks there a month, and now 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:41.320 I don't get Apple Music. But so Apple Music would 0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:44.240 be fifteen a month, Apple TV Plus would be five 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.840 dollars a month, Apple Arcade would be five, and iCloud 0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:50.120 is three, so I'd be twenty five. That's twenty eight dollars, 0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:54.119 and it's twenty dollars. So now I will say, now 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:57.000 that I'm looking at this and I'm figuring it out written, 0:25:57.400 --> 0:25:59.280 I would take out that five dollars for Apple TV 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:03.119 because that's free, So that'd be twenty three dollars. So 0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:08.040 that is twenty three dollars versus twenty, so it would 0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.080 be a savings of three dollars a month right now 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:15.760 for me. But I currently don't subscribe to Apple Music, 0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:18.000 so I really that's where it gets a little tricky 0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:21.239 because I don't know if I need Apple Music. I 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:24.800 have a subscription to Google Play Music. So again, this 0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:27.520 is going to be very individual for you. You have to 0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:29.440 just do the math, add up how much you're spending 0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:32.160 on these things. And also something like Apple Arcade it's 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.080 five dollars, but guess what if I scratched that out 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.680 because I was a subscriber for a year, my kids 0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.520 didn't play it, So if you're not using it, it's 0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:41.280 not worth the five dollars. So now when I add 0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:45.560 it up, I get fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen dollars total, 0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:51.960 which is actually two dollars less than the family So 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.480 for me, I am not subscribing now. When I get 0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:58.919 into February, when my Apple TV Plus expires, and I 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:01.679 add that extra five dollar, so eighteen plus five is 0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:04.560 back up to twenty three. Now I would be saving 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.719 three dollars a month if I would like to continue 0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:11.440 with the Apple TV Plus subscription that way it's worth it. 0:27:11.680 --> 0:27:13.800 And then of course i'd have to also use the 0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:18.040 music thing too. Premiere is twenty nine ninety five a month, 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.240 thirty dollars. This is probably the best deal out of 0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:23.520 the whole thing. You get Apple Music from up to 0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:26.200 five people, you get Apple TV Plus, you get Apple Arcade, 0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:29.280 you get two terabytes of iCloud storage. So if you 0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:32.200 hold all your photos in there, that's great. Apple News 0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:34.720 Plus which is ten dollars, and an Apple Fitness Plus, 0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:36.959 which I think is ten dollars as well, So that 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:39.919 is going to be a really great deal if you 0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:44.159 are a super Apple fan and you have all of 0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.600 that stuff. But again, it's available now. If you want 0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:49.679 to access it and see kind of like what the 0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:55.320 offers are, go into settings on your iPhone Apple ID 0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.760 subscriptions and you'll see a banner that says get Apple one. 0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:01.840 So again it's just a matter of math, and if 0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:03.880 you do your math, you got to figure it out 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:05.320 and see if it's worth it for you For me, 0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.560 it's not worth it right now. And now if I 0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.000 was to consolidate a couple things, because right now I 0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:15.720 pay ten bucks a month to Google for the storage there, 0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:18.479 if I was able to switch over all my cloud 0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.280 storage to Apple. It probably would be worth it to 0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.840 get the top of the line one, but right now 0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:26.119 I'm not ready to do that. So again, it's a 0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:29.600 very personal thing. But and these bundles are getting a 0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:33.399 little tricky because everyone's offering them, and it's kind of 0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:35.800 a problem because it just gets us more into the 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:39.040 corner with these services where you can't. So for example, 0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:41.640 with my Verizon, I just went on and it took 0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:43.120 me so long to do this, but I was like, 0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:44.840 you know, now they have this thing where they give 0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:48.120 you instead of just Disney Plus, you get Hulu Plus 0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:52.400 and you get ESPN. But you know, I dropped down. 0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:54.760 I used to get Apple Music included, but I said, well, 0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:56.960 I'd rather save the twenty dollars a month because if 0:28:57.000 --> 0:29:00.280 I get rid of Apple Music, it's really an net 0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.960 of five dollars even if I resubscribed. And let me 0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:05.560 explain that. So I save twenty dollars a month if 0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:07.880 I resubscribe to Apple Music for me and my wife, 0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:10.640 that's fifteen dollars a month for the family plan. I'm 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.640 still coming out ahead by five dollars. And my plan 0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:16.800 didn't really change with Verizon, Like, I didn't really get 0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:20.560 anything less, so I still have unlimited, I still have 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.560 the same amount of hot Spot, So it really was 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:25.360 kind of a no brainer. And I'm saving twenty bucks 0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:27.320 a month there at the least. If I resubscribe to 0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:29.240 Apple Music, which I like because it's on my watch, 0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.960 I will still be saving five dollars. And while I 0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:35.040 mention that before I get to the next question, let 0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:36.800 me just say something. And I know this applies to 0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:40.040 about one percent of folks out there, but let me 0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:44.320 just explain one thing there. If you're subscribed to Apple 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:47.600 Music just for your Apple Watch, right so, you just 0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:49.880 want to be able to listen to music on your 0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:53.440 Apple Watch, you don't necessarily have to do that. Now, 0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:56.080 we all know that Apple Music is the only service 0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:59.600 right now where you can download music to your watch. 0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:04.760 I belie maybe Pandora is the other one offline Apple Watch. 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.680 Let me see if Pandora works offline. Yeah, so Pandora 0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:13.280 does work as well, so you know, if you're subscribed 0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:16.080 to Apple Music just for that offline. So for me personally, 0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:19.280 I like to run with just my Apple Watch and 0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:22.360 I use the music that it downloads from Apple Music 0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.720 to my Watch. Now, I don't have that ability anymore, 0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:26.680 but I will tell you what I do have. I 0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:29.440 have the iHeartRadio Apple Watch app, and I do have 0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:32.280 Cellular on my Apple Watch because I feel like if 0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.680 I'm running alone, you know, without my phone, if there's 0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:37.680 ever an emergency, I want to be able to you know, 0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:43.160 call someone, and so I use the This is brand new, 0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:46.000 by the way, from iHeartMedia. So if you use the 0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:49.360 iHeartRadio app on your Apple Watch, you can listen to 0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:54.080 live radio streaming through Cellular on your watch for free. 0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:56.720 So again, I'm paying that ten dollars a month for 0:30:56.760 --> 0:31:00.600 the Cellular on my Apple Watch. It's unlimited. I don't 0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:03.280 use the music functionality on my watch at any other 0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.240 time except when I'm running, So to me, I'm gonna 0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:08.800 go as long as humanly possible with just as free 0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:13.959 iHeart Radio app because it's perfect. You know, I go 0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:15.800 on a forty minute run, I'm listening to forty minutes 0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:17.920 of music. I'll be honest in the many times that 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:19.680 I've used it, you know, I five or six times 0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:23.680 so far, I've only heard ads once, and honestly, they're 0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:25.840 only on the more popular stations. So if you're listening 0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:28.120 to like hit radio, Yeah there will be ads, but 0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.800 I listen to this country workout and I haven't heard 0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:33.160 any ads at all. Now, sometimes you might hear DJ 0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:35.840 for a minute doing something, you know, saying something silly, 0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.720 but it's been pretty darn good. And they've got some 0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:41.240 great workout stations on here. So I'll tell you the 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:45.040 ones that I subscribe to for the workout stuff I've got. 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:47.320 And this is the other thing I don't think people 0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.720 realize about. iHeart Radio. They've got the local stations, but 0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.280 inside the app, if you really dig a little bit, 0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:57.800 they have the equivalent of satellite radio stations on their 0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:00.600 app that are not necessarily like you know, one oh 0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:03.760 four to three MYFM or Kiss FM. It's like a 0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:06.920 generic version of those stations that's almost like a satellite 0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:10.400 version of that. And so it's really interesting. So they 0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:14.040 have something called like hit Nation, right, and so hit 0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:17.479 Nation is kind of like sirius XM Hits one and 0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:21.400 it's really fascinating. Okay, so here's the stations. I have 0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.400 Country Workout Radio, which I love. If you don't like country, 0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.760 then you're not gonna like that, but I do. Hit 0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:29.480 Nation is kind of like their top Hits that's just 0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:32.040 on on a total. You know, you listen a Hits 0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:35.640 twenty four hour cardio mix, that's I think that's in. Yeah, 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:38.000 twenty four hour cardio mix, which is kind of like 0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:42.880 again like a satellite radio station. Then you've got what's 0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:46.520 this other one? Come on, You've got to keep going 0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:48.640 to this every time I lower my wrist. You've got 0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:51.240 Today's mix, which is sort of just like a light 0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:53.400 pop station you might hear at the dentist's office. I 0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:58.160 always joke about that. iHeartRadio Country, which is fantastic Hit 0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:00.600 Nation Junior, which is kind of like good for the 0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:04.080 kids in the car. Of course, KFI. iHeart Christmas, which 0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:09.440 is the best Christmas station out there. Katla's on there. 0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.360 Actually you can listen to that. American Top forty eclectic 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.320 rock is amazing. I don't know the guy actually, when 0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:17.040 I tweeted about it, he tweeted me back, he said 0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:19.280 he's in La. He's like, oh, he's like, I actually 0:33:19.320 --> 0:33:21.520 programmed that station. Thanks so much for listening to it. 0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:24.040 And then Coffee Shop Radio and that's also that's what 0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:26.480 I listened to on the weekends on Saturday Sunday morning, 0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:28.720 because you know, it's a little bit more laid back. 0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:32.520 But I'm telling you iHeartRadio has some really good stuff 0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:36.440 going for completely free, and I just think people ignore 0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:38.280 it or look over it because they think, oh it's free, 0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:41.080 it can't be that good. But I'm telling you, if 0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:43.280 you've got cellular on your Apple Watch and you don't 0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:46.320 want to spend extra money and you want to just 0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:50.160 use your watch, I'm telling you down download the iHeartRadio 0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:53.000 app and it's it's fantastic. And I'm gonna try to 0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:54.680 get my wife on board. That's the only thing I 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.880 may You know, it's a little tricky with her because she, 0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:00.960 you know something, she's known the Apple Music or the 0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:03.240 Apple Music for so long now it's a little tricky 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:08.120 to like kind of switch. But anyway, but check it out, 0:34:08.520 --> 0:34:11.000 all right, Do we have another question? Of course we do. 0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:19.600 We got lots of questions, all right, Uh, Marshall, Marshlley, Marcelli. 0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:22.160 I don't know, Marshall. Last week I was on a 0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.680 site that I have never been on before. I decided 0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:27.200 I wanted to purchase something. When I got to the 0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:29.480 part of paying, I hit pay and a pop up 0:34:29.560 --> 0:34:32.440 automatic pop pop up. This is when microphones go crazy 0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:35.840 with a pop pop pup, a pop up pop. This 0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:37.520 is why I talk on the side. If you're watching 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:41.120 on on the let's see if I talk here, pop up, 0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:44.080 pop up, pop up. Yeah, I don't know. I try 0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:45.359 to talk to the side so I don't get those 0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:49.120 pops automatically came up with my current credit card number. 0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:51.960 I was reluctant to go any further because I cannot 0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:54.560 understand why they could have managed to have a current 0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:57.160 credit card available for me to pick from. So now 0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:59.920 I'm wondering, if my tablet gets lost and somebody manages 0:34:59.920 --> 0:35:01.880 to to get into it, could they order like crazy 0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:04.240 with that happening on any site? Should I be concerned? 0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:12.000 I would appreciate a reply thank you, Marshell, mar C H. E. L. E. Marshall, right, 0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:18.719 not Marcelli, not Marcelli, Marcel marcell anyway, So here's what 0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:22.000 I think happened on this website. I think what happened 0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:24.880 is it was something called Stripe, and it might have 0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.680 been a Shopify site as well. It could have been 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:32.080 Shopify or Stripe. So there's a couple of these fintech companies, 0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:36.040 financial tech companies that are trying to make the purchase 0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:40.879 process online as frictionless as possible. Why do they want 0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:44.080 it to be frictionless because the less friction means the 0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:47.359 quicker you will be to buy. Now, my biggest pet 0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:50.440 peeve is with all these food ordering apps, when I 0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:52.040 go to order and I got to set up a 0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:55.600 whole new account just to order a salad at some 0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:58.880 random new place that I found. What I love is 0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:02.080 when they integrate Apple Pay into the app, because boom, 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:03.600 I don't have to sign up, I don't have to 0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:05.920 sign in. It's just like Apple Pay, Boom, all my 0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:10.480 stuff is there, and it's it's super slick. So on 0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:13.600 the web that you know Apple Pay, maybe you know 0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:16.520 it's there in a couple places. But these websites are 0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:20.120 integrating what's called Stripe or Shopify, and what they do 0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.719 is you use your credit card on one website and 0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:27.239 it stores it in the background on the Shopify or 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:30.040 the Stripe servers, and then when you go to another 0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:35.719 website that supports that shopping protocol, it automatically pops up 0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:38.000 with your credit card number and it says, oh, we 0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:39.799 already have your info. Do you want to just buy? 0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:43.120 And you say, oh, whoa, that's a surprise. I don't 0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:45.759 know how you got that, but okay, And what they 0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:48.360 do is and martial to sort to answer your question. 0:36:49.239 --> 0:36:52.640 It generally, before you can make that purchase, they will 0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:57.000 text a confirmation code to your smartphone to allow you 0:36:57.040 --> 0:36:59.160 to make the transaction go through. So it's not just 0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:01.719 like the information is populated and then it goes in 0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:04.799 and boom. Anyone that's on that web browser can use 0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:08.719 your info. It's realistically a combination of them having the 0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:12.520 information and then texting you for the authorization. Now it 0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:15.480 surprised me on a couple of websites, I've encountered this 0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:18.680 and it's like whoa. But I will say it's slick 0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:22.040 and it's kind of cool because the name of the 0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:25.319 game for me is I want to share my card 0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:29.439 number with as least places as possible because the more 0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:32.000 your numbers are out there, the more they are apt 0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:35.360 to getting hacked. And yes, I get it, credit cards, 0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:38.120 you're not going to be liable, but the reality is 0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:42.359 it's still a pain in the you know what, and 0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:44.320 you don't want to have to deal with the headache 0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:47.000 of changing all of your card numbers and all the 0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:50.000 different subscriptions you have or whatever. So at the end 0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:51.799 of the day, I do like this system. I think 0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:54.440 it is frictionless, which of course makes you spend more money, 0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:57.200 but I kind of like it. It's slick, it's nice, 0:37:57.280 --> 0:37:59.319 and it does make life a little bit easier, So 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:02.160 I'm okay with it as long as they're being upfront 0:38:02.160 --> 0:38:04.759 about it. I did go to Stripe and see kind 0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:08.560 of like, if you know, I can like delete my 0:38:08.640 --> 0:38:10.400 card out of them, and I didn't really see a 0:38:10.440 --> 0:38:12.719 way to do that. Maybe it's not the one I 0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:17.080 was thinking. I know, Shopify for sure lets you, you know, 0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:20.839 store your number. But anyway, that's what's happening. I think 0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:24.880 I think you'll be okay. All right, what do I 0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.919 want to talk about next? Uh? Should we talk about 0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:30.920 some of the biggest predictions for the holiday shopping season? 0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:33.880 I love Adobe Analytics during the holidays. They are so 0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:37.560 right on when it comes to their holiday shopping predictions. 0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:40.880 Here's how this works. They they work with a bunch 0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:44.320 of you know, major retailers, where at the end of 0:38:44.320 --> 0:38:48.080 the day, they the retailers sort of share their purchasing 0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:53.279 data with Adobe to gain insights, and so they kind 0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:56.080 of scan thing and whatever. Anyway, so there you go, 0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:58.319 So what are their what are their predictions? Number one, 0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:01.279 US online holiday sales will total one hundred and eighty 0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:06.000 nine billion dollars this year, which thirty three percent year 0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:08.440 over year increase. Now I would have thought, you know, 0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:11.080 maybe people because they're not spending as much, it would 0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:13.400 have been lower. But here's what I think that means. 0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:16.120 I think that means that people are probably gonna spend 0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:19.879 less in store and more online because less people are 0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:23.719 going out of their houses. Right now, Cyber Monday is 0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:26.040 going to remain the biggest online shopping day of the year, 0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:28.879 twelve point seven billion dollars in one day, thirty five 0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:33.680 percent over last year. Smartphones Americans will spend twenty eight 0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:37.839 billion dollars more on their smartphones, accounting for forty two 0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:40.360 percent of all online sales. And I've noticed that with myself, 0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:44.480 I've noticed myself picking up my smartphone more to do, 0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:53.680 you know, to sorry. So I've I've noticed myself sort 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:56.160 of shopping on my phone more because it is easier 0:39:56.160 --> 0:40:01.040 sometimes with these with these apps, okay, top anticipate and 0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:02.760 by the way, it goes back to that whole Apple 0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:05.799 pay thing. If I can use my stored payment, then 0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:08.760 of course I want to use that. Most anticipated gifts 0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:12.680 and toys here we go, drum roll please, Rainbow Corns, 0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:18.200 q Titos, Little Live Pets, Star Wars toys and Lego sets, 0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:23.800 video games, Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven, Call of Duty, Black Ops, 0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:27.840 Cold War, Spider Man, Miles Morales, Mario Kart Home Circuit, 0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:29.960 which I just tested out with my kids. I'll have 0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:33.240 a segment soon. It was a ton of fun, Super 0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:36.359 Mario three D All Stars. And then, of course you've 0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:40.400 got two new game consoles coming out, the Xbox Series 0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:43.680 X the PlayStation five. And I think the Nintendo Switch 0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:46.240 is going to continue to sell because it's a blast. 0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:49.120 My kids love theirs. They're on Animal Crossing, and I 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:52.120 got my little kid the switch light, which is just perfect, 0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:54.960 you know, unless you're really playing on the TV screen. 0:40:55.000 --> 0:41:00.279 I think the switch light is just fine. All right, 0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:06.239 let's take another question. Bob says, hey, Rich, are you 0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:08.680 still doing the newsletter? I haven't gotten one in a 0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:10.479 while and wanting to make sure that I haven't gotten 0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:13.799 dropped from the list or something. Thanks Bob. Uh Nope, 0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:16.520 still doing the newsletter Rich on tech dot tv. You 0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:20.600 can sign up for it it's a substack newsletter. Substack 0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:25.120 is this great platform that a lot of people are 0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:29.279 using because you know, unlike something like Mailchimp, substack lets 0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.560 you send to I think as many people as you 0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:36.600 want for free. So I have, you know, a whole 0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:39.359 bunch of people on there. And uh, let's see how 0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:43.360 many subscribers on to the rich on Tech podcast or 0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:47.560 newsletter twelve thousand, five hundred and seven. So twelve thousand, 0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:50.239 five hundred and seven of you and Bob, just checking 0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:54.799 for your email address, you are in there. So I 0:41:54.840 --> 0:41:57.880 think what happens is I do send it out every 0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:01.920 other week and so maybe that's why you're you know, 0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:04.560 missing it, or it could be going to spam, So 0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:07.840 definitely check your spam search for substack dot com and 0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:11.600 see if my email is going there. But the good 0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:15.919 news is, out of twelve five hundred and seven, let's 0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:20.239 see eleven and fifty five of you opened it last week. 0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:22.880 So that's good. So there is a lot of I 0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:24.960 love doing the newsletter. It's a lot of work on 0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:28.200 my part, but I love doing it because it's again 0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:30.799 another way to connect. So if you want to sign up, 0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:33.600 go to rich on tech dot substack dot com it's 0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:37.360 completely free, and it's it's just you know, it's a 0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:39.080 it's a rundown of like a lot of the stuff 0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:41.680 that I mentioned throughout the two weeks, in between the podcast, 0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:44.200 in between the newsletters, and it's just a good way 0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:46.399 to sort of keep up with what's going on. And 0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:51.680 that's it, all right, let's talk about Oh, this is 0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:55.919 really interesting. This is this is fantastic, especially for work 0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:58.880 at home. Uh epoccam. Have you heard of it? We 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:01.719 did a story on this a while back. It's an 0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:07.960 app that turns your iPhone into a webcam, and I 0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:10.840 believe when we did it it was just maybe is 0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:14.000 it Android and iOS? I don't. I think it's just 0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:17.960 your iPhone. Well anyway, Elgado, which is a great company 0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:22.360 that makes a ton of stuff, they just bought this app, 0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:26.040 and I believe let's see if they made it free. 0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:29.640 Is it free? It's eight dollars. Okay, so eight bucks. 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:32.160 But the reality is you can turn your old your 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:36.240 current phone or you're you know, an old iPhone into 0:43:36.360 --> 0:43:42.200 a webcam ten ADP full HD. Oh you can use 0:43:42.239 --> 0:43:47.120 it for free or pro is eight dollars. So again, 0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:49.919 this is just good to know you can turn your 0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:54.080 iPhone or your iPad into a wireless Oh wireless, that's cool. 0:43:54.719 --> 0:43:58.440 High definition webcam for Windows and Mac Os works seamlessly 0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:02.160 with major applications like Zoom, Skype, Obs, Studio, Google, Meet, 0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:07.160 Microsoft Teams to chat stream or record in HD. And 0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:09.799 so again, the fact that this was purchased by a 0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:14.120 big company makes it great because it's going to be supported. 0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:17.479 And so the one that I looked at before was good, 0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:20.440 but I think that having this company behind it makes 0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:25.520 it even better. So again, it's called epoch epoccam available 0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:28.279 if you need a webcam. It's just something good to 0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:32.320 know and go check it out. All right, going a 0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:34.160 little long here, but you know what, I don't care. 0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:38.440 There's no time limits on this show. Let's see. Sou 0:44:38.520 --> 0:44:41.360 Foster says, I'm getting ads for apps that will print 0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:45.160 picks off my phone. I have several years of vacation picks, 0:44:45.200 --> 0:44:47.680 house stream model pictures i'd like in albums, and clean 0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:51.840 up my phone. What do you think of these apps? Ooh, well, 0:44:51.880 --> 0:44:53.840 I don't think you should be printing pictures and then 0:44:53.880 --> 0:44:58.000 deleting them off your phone. No way, that's not very good. 0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:01.040 So if you want just these things in little albums 0:45:01.040 --> 0:45:02.640 that you can put on your coffee table. Yeah, there's 0:45:02.640 --> 0:45:04.879 a bunch of apps that will do that. Now, if 0:45:04.920 --> 0:45:07.359 you want to just clear up your phone, I would 0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:11.359 recommend the sand disk, I expand Go, or I would 0:45:11.400 --> 0:45:14.080 just download Google Photos to your iPhone, let it back 0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:17.320 up everything, and then it will delete pictures off your phone, 0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:19.440 but it will save them in the cloud. Now, if 0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.800 you're looking to just print pictures, there's a couple websites 0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:25.359 I'll recommend. Number one is Groovebook. And I got to say, 0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:29.000 you know, I've been wrong on a few things in 0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:32.640 my time at KTLA, and Groovebook is one of them. 0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:38.040 I got an email from a guy named Brian at 0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:45.000 Groovebook back in February twenty thirteen. Alright, no sorry, January 0:45:45.040 --> 0:45:49.000 twenty fourth, twenty thirteen, and he came up with an 0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:53.680 app called Groovebook, and I'll be honest, I kind of 0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:56.840 blew it off. And he was like, oh, this is 0:45:56.920 --> 0:45:58.719 so great. You know, you can download pictures or you 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:02.000 can print pictures of your kid. It's an app that 0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:11.160 delivers let's see. Anyway, the long and short of it 0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:14.960 is I kind of, you know, didn't really do anything 0:46:15.000 --> 0:46:17.359 on it. And next thing. You know, guess who bought 0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:22.120 Groovebook for a cool however much money but it was 0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:30.440 Shutterfly and yeah, so rich didn't really get that one. Anyway, 0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:32.839 groove Book is a good one. Let's see what else 0:46:32.920 --> 0:46:34.799 do we have. Mixed Book is another one. Now I 0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:38.040 have looked at Mixbook. I did a little test book 0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:40.320 with them. It was great. Chat Books I think is 0:46:40.360 --> 0:46:44.960 a husband wife team and they're really good. And then 0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:46.520 of course Google Photos. If you want to go with 0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:49.800 a big corporate conglomerate, you can print your photo books 0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:53.120 right from Google Photos. But I always mean to do 0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:55.080 this every month and I just kind of forget to 0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:57.400 do it. But I'd like to do more photo books 0:46:57.440 --> 0:46:59.839 because they are really fun to just have on your 0:46:59.880 --> 0:47:02.799 car coffee table and flip through and look at. But 0:47:02.920 --> 0:47:05.120 I always just forget to do it. But I need 0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:09.160 to do that. All right, Let's see anything else I 0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:11.319 want to talk about before I get out of here. 0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:14.480 I did take a look at the Hummer EV the 0:47:14.520 --> 0:47:17.239 Hummers coming back as an electric vehicle. I got to 0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:20.759 see the prototype. If you want to watch it on 0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:24.200 my YouTube channel, just search Hummer EV rich on Tech 0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:27.120 and it should bring you up that video. But here's 0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:29.040 my impression Number one. I thought it was pretty cool, 0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:32.320 and for a for a split second, I was thinking 0:47:32.320 --> 0:47:34.920 to myself, this would kind of be a cool truck 0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:37.800 for me to have, because you know, it's all electric, 0:47:37.920 --> 0:47:39.800 but it looks all cool and rugged, and here I 0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:42.520 am the tech guy. But then I heard the price, 0:47:42.600 --> 0:47:45.960 which is one hundred and twelve thousand bucks, and immediately no, 0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:49.200 I barely want to buy the Tesla for like forty. 0:47:51.080 --> 0:47:54.600 But the truck features a couple unique things. It's three 0:47:54.680 --> 0:47:57.719 hundred and fifty miles to the gallon. It will recharge 0:47:57.880 --> 0:48:00.320 zero two one hundred miles in ten minutes if you 0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:03.839 got the super fast charger. It's got this crab walk 0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:06.360 feature which allows the tires to sort of rotate just 0:48:06.400 --> 0:48:09.560 a little bit and kind of shimmy diagonally. I didn't know. 0:48:10.040 --> 0:48:12.200 I didn't see any of these things demoed. What I 0:48:12.239 --> 0:48:14.600 saw was a prototype that looked like a truck, but 0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:18.280 I'm not sure if it even drove, to be honest, 0:48:18.560 --> 0:48:21.200 extract mode, which the front of the car raises up 0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:24.200 six inches to get over like a big rock. And 0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:26.360 by the way, I'd never find myself in any of 0:48:26.360 --> 0:48:28.560 the situations where I'd need to use these features because 0:48:28.600 --> 0:48:32.799 I'm not going off roading like that underbody armor ultravision 0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:35.800 which has all these cameras up to eighteen cameras around 0:48:35.800 --> 0:48:37.880 the car or truck, I should say, to help you 0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:42.520 spot stuff. What else? Three hundred and fifty miles to 0:48:42.560 --> 0:48:45.560 the gallon super CRUs which allows you to you know, 0:48:45.680 --> 0:48:48.840 hands free driving on two hundred thousand miles of roads, 0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:52.280 plus an automatic lane changing system oh watts to freedom 0:48:52.360 --> 0:48:55.600 zero to sixty and three seconds. And again this is 0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:59.480 going into production next year twenty twenty one, and it's 0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:02.200 going to beailable in twenty twenty two. The first wave 0:49:02.239 --> 0:49:04.120 of reservations has already sold out. It was like one 0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:06.040 hundred dollars for the reservation, so it's not like that 0:49:06.120 --> 0:49:08.960 big of a deal, and who knows how many they 0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:12.360 actually had available. But to me, when you look at 0:49:12.400 --> 0:49:14.480 this versus say, the cyber truck, which I think is 0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:17.840 going to be like, you know, half the price, you know, 0:49:17.920 --> 0:49:20.200 it looks really cool. Look, this is for someone who 0:49:20.280 --> 0:49:22.120 does not need to worry about the money. This is 0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:24.560 not someone who has to worry about where they're spending 0:49:24.560 --> 0:49:26.600 one hundred and ten thousand dollars one hundred and fifteen. 0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:29.000 You know, when you do all the math, it's going 0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:31.000 to be way more with taxes and all that stuff. 0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:34.440 But it's cool. I like that GMS doing this. Personally, 0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:37.719 I would like to see them putting a little bit 0:49:37.719 --> 0:49:40.600 more effort into something like the Bolt, or maybe similar 0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:43.400 cars to that that are more reasonable for the average person, 0:49:44.560 --> 0:49:47.680 or maybe a good looking, you know, electric car, kind 0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:49.640 of like the Tesla is a great looking electric car 0:49:49.640 --> 0:49:52.520 if you ask me, the Tesla three, it's very simple looking, 0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:54.680 but you know, maybe something more close to that. The 0:49:54.760 --> 0:49:57.560 volt and the bolt have a very unique look that 0:49:57.680 --> 0:49:59.920 is not for everyone, and so you know, it's just 0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:07.440 the way it is. Let's see one more question c S. 0:50:08.120 --> 0:50:09.520 I don't know how to say the name, but anyway, 0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:13.760 my laptop is a question. My laptop is a twenty 0:50:13.760 --> 0:50:16.040 twelve model. Do I need one that's more updated or 0:50:16.040 --> 0:50:18.360 should I just buy an eurosystem? I have one laptop, 0:50:18.400 --> 0:50:20.719 one phone connected to my modem. The modem is in 0:50:20.760 --> 0:50:22.600 a room separate from my laptop and phone. Can you 0:50:22.640 --> 0:50:25.920 please advise me? I'd probably put the money towards the 0:50:26.000 --> 0:50:28.280 laptop and not the Eero. I think if your modem 0:50:28.480 --> 0:50:31.000 is in one room, next to the you know laptop. 0:50:31.040 --> 0:50:33.080 Your laptop's in the other room, and that's all you 0:50:33.120 --> 0:50:35.840 have connected. I think it spend the money on the laptop. 0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:39.880 It's twenty twelve, it's going on eight years old, depending 0:50:39.880 --> 0:50:41.560 on what kind of model it is. You know, it's 0:50:41.600 --> 0:50:45.040 probably pretty slow at this point. So it works. But 0:50:45.360 --> 0:50:48.040 you know, I think that if you want to upgrade, 0:50:48.080 --> 0:50:49.680 you want a little bit better speed, and I think 0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:53.239 the Wi Fi connection will probably be inherently better on 0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:55.719 a newer laptop than it is on an older laptop. 0:50:55.800 --> 0:51:00.440 So that's something to keep in mind. There. Oh, that 0:51:00.600 --> 0:51:06.239 music means it is the end of the show. Can 0:51:06.280 --> 0:51:09.839 you believe it? That is going to do it. If 0:51:09.880 --> 0:51:11.839 you'd like to submit a question for me to answer, 0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:14.120 just go to rich on tech dot tv hit the 0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:16.759 email button at the bottom of the page.

I'd love it if 0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:24.799 you would rate and review this podcast to help other 0:51:24.800 --> 0:51:28.680 people discover it. Many of you have gone to rate 0:51:28.880 --> 0:51:32.439 this podcast dot com, slash rich on tech to rate 0:51:32.480 --> 0:51:38.120 and review it, and Victoria from Lahabra Heights says been 0:51:38.160 --> 0:51:41.080 watching Rich on KTLA as far back as he's been 0:51:41.080 --> 0:51:42.960 on I look forward to his tips and now I 0:51:42.960 --> 0:51:46.360 don't feel cheated if I miss his KTLA presentation. I 0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:48.719 just listened to his podcasts and I get far more 0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:51.840 than I ever did. Wait, that's not very good for 0:51:51.840 --> 0:51:54.840 my TV segments. Rich, I really appreciate all the effort 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:56.960 that you put into your podcast. Thank you very much 0:51:56.960 --> 0:52:00.440 for your diligence. Well, thank you, Victoria in Lahabra Heights. 0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:04.080 I will say the KTLA segments are still the bread 0:52:04.080 --> 0:52:07.040 and butter, so don't stop watching those. But the reality 0:52:07.120 --> 0:52:09.879 is I get two minutes on KTLA. I get an 0:52:09.920 --> 0:52:12.720 hour here and on social media, so it's a very 0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:15.520 different way of approaching it. In those two minutes on TV, 0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:18.759 I have to get across just the basics, just the 0:52:18.760 --> 0:52:22.799 best information for the average viewer. My podcast is a 0:52:22.880 --> 0:52:24.839 chance for me to take a deep dive into all 0:52:24.840 --> 0:52:27.520 these topics and really talk about the nitty gritty stuff 0:52:27.560 --> 0:52:31.520 that I think people should know if they're interested.
