1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Apple adds AI to the iPhone. I'll explain how they're

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: doing it differently and which phones will get it. Microsoft

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: recalls it's recall feature the international E SIM that's completely free.

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on on rich

Speaker 1: Demiro And this is Rich on Tech. This is the

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: show where I talk about the tech stuff I think

Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place where I

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,639

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: to my friends up at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. They're

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: going to discuss the announcements that stand out most to them,

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: and later on in the show, if you're in the

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: market for a new computer monitor, Matthew S. Smith will

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: join us to talk about what to look for in

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: a new computer monitor.

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: Well, you just heard Luke Combs.

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: We went to his concert last night where the Wild

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Things Are Great concert.

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: Just want to say thank you to everyone who came

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: up to me.

30
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: Who would ever think that people would come up to

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: a tech guy to say, rich, I love your stuff,

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: I love what you do. I learn a lot from you.

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean, after a while, my wife was actually getting embarrassed.

34
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: She thinks it's funny, and you know, it's just it

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: really it's it means so much to me because it

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: means that what I'm doing here and what I'm doing

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: at KTLA just really resonates with folks, and it's just

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: so amazing to me. I mean, anyway, I want to

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: say thank you. And it was a lot of fun.

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: We had a blast at the concert. Luke Combs was great.

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: If I got any country fans out there, you know

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, great, great artists. Second time I've

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: seen them. Actually, all right, let's get to the tech

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: news of the week. I was in Cooper Tino for

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference twenty twenty four. This is where

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: Apple tells you all about the stuff that's coming soon

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: to their various products. They've got the iPhone, they've got

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: the iPad, they've got Apple Vision Pro, they've got Mac computers,

49
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: they've got the Apple Watch. What am I leaving out?

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: I think that's about it. They've got a lot of stuff.

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: So this is where they go through, and this was

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: super fast, I mean, super super charged. They just blasted

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: through all these new features because there's so many of them.

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: No new hardware, but a lot of new features, including

55
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: iOS eighteen and Apple Intelligence. I'm going to focus on

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: those two right now, but throughout the show, fairwarning, going

57
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: to talk a lot about Apple because they're in the

58
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: news this week. They had their big event. We talked

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: about Google a couple weeks ago, we talked about Microsoft,

60
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: we talked about Open AI.

61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: Now it is Apple's turn.

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: So iOS eighteen this is the new software that's launching

63
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: in the fall. It's going to work on the iPhone

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: ten R and later, and also the iPhone S two

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: and later. So from what I've seen, as long as

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: your phone is running iOS seventeen right now, it should

67
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: get the upgrade to iOS eighteen.

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean it's getting the AI upgrade.

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: More on that in a moment, but first let's talk

70
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: about iOS eighteen getting much more customizable. So I'm really

71
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: taking a page from Android here and making the iPhone

72
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: pretty much as customizable as you can imagine. Icons can

73
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: now be placed anywhere on the home screen. I know

74
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: that sounds silly if you're an Android user because you've

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: had that since day one, but the iPhone has not,

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: So no, I can place your icons anywhere you want.

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: You can change their color.

78
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: The control center is getting much more useful with multiple pages.

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: That's the portion of your phone where you sort of

80
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: swipe down from the upper right hand corner to bring

81
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: up things like the volume control and the Wi Fi

82
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: toggles and all that stuff. You're gonna be able to

83
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: make multiple pages there, and third party apps can finally

84
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: put their controls in there as well, so if you

85
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: have a favorite app and you want toggle something very quickly,

86
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: you'll be able to do it. Even the lock screen

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: shortcuts can now be customized, so instead of just having

88
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: access to the camera and the flashlight, you can now

89
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: put whatever you want there as long as developers make

90
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: a widget for the lock screen. Another new feature, This

91
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: one is kind of interesting and or controversial and or helpful.

92
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: You can now lock down apps behind a passcode or

93
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: face ID. So if you have an app that you

94
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: don't want people when they get your phone in their

95
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: hands opening up, you can lock it down with a

96
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: passcode or your face ID. They will not be able

97
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: to open that app without unlocking your phone. Even with

98
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: the phone unlocked, they'll still need to do a secondary

99
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: passcode or face ID. Now, another level of this is

100
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: a hidden apps folder.

101
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: This is a folder where you.

102
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: Can put apps inside, and nobody using your phone can

103
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: even see what those apps are without unlocking with face ID. So, yeah,

104
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: that's going to be an interesting one because people can

105
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: hide apps from just about anyone inside that folder and

106
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: nobody will know. I message getting a lot of upgrades.

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: You can use any emoji to react to a message.

108
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: You can schedule text messages to go out later. You

109
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: can format the text in text messages with various effects

110
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: in styling. You can send messages via satellite if you

111
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: don't have a cellular or Wi Fi signal. If you

112
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: have an iPhone fourteen or fifteen or later, you'll be

113
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: able to send messages over satellite no extra cost. Right now,

114
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: Apple has still not said how much they're going to

115
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: charge for any of these satellite features, but people have

116
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: enjoyed them now for over a year or two now

117
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: for free. One of the big things they didn't really

118
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: go into very much but arecs. They are now going

119
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: to support rich communication services. This means that messages exchanged

120
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: between iPhone and Android, if they include a picture or

121
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: a video, will finally look their best. Yes, this is

122
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: a long time coming. It will finally cut down on

123
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: that whole iPhone versus Android debate with messages because you

124
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: can finally send people photos and videos that are high resolution.

125
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: iOS eighteen is also getting a dedicated passwords app, so

126
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: all these third party password managers you'll be able to

127
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: use just the one that's inside iOS eighteen. And let's

128
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: talk about Apple Intelligence. This is Apple's personal brand of AI.

129
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: So of course, leave it to Apple to rename an

130
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: entire genre of technology.

131
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: They can't call it AI.

132
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: They have to rename it instead of artificial intelligence. It

133
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: is Apple Intelligence. So Siri is now getting reprogrammed to

134
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: become a powerful AI chatbot programmed with knowledge about you.

135
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: That means that it will have access to your email,

136
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: your text messages, your photos, anything that you have on

137
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: your phone, Siri will be able to tap into to

138
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: understand the emails that you're sending, and you can ask

139
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: questions like, Hey, when's my flight tomorrow? Or do I

140
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: have lunch plans next week? Who am I having lunch with?

141
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: Show me that picture of me in Montana diving into

142
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: a pool, and not only will it find that video,

143
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: it theoretically will fast forward right to you diving in

144
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: that pool in Montana. Yes, powerful stuff. Powerful stuff requires

145
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: a powerful iPhone. Apple Intelligence is only coming to the

146
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen Pro models and up. Apple says they need

147
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: this processing power and the older phones just don't give

148
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: it to them. So if you have an iPhone fourteen,

149
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: you're not getting these AI features. Now, to some of

150
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: you you might like that, but to the rest of

151
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: you you might say wow. Or even an iPhone fifteen

152
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: you will not get the AI stuff. Apple also build

153
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: what's called a private cloud compute, so they have kind

154
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: of a trifold method of doing AI on the iPhones.

155
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: They're going to try to handle it on the phone itself.

156
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: If that's not enough, they're going to hand it off

157
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: to this private cloud compute, and that is built with

158
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: Apple products and Apple processors, and it's all very private.

159
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: So it will take your question, it might take some

160
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: of your data, but when it's done answering your question

161
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: and setting it back to your phone, it's going to

162
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: delete all that data. So they have said that privacy

163
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: is paramount, and I do believe Apple because I sat

164
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: through a lot of briefings where they talked about how

165
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: much privacy they built into these new AI systems, and

166
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: it is private. Now Chat GBT is also going to

167
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: be built into the iPhone that is also not as private,

168
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: but a little bit more private. So they did a

169
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: deal with open ai where they said, look, you can

170
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: have access to all of our iPhone users, but you're

171
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: not going to get just carte blanche access. When they

172
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: have a question, We're going to ask them every single time,

173
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: do you want us to flip this question over to CHATCHI?

174
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: And if they do, we're still not going to share

175
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: any personal identifiable information with them.

176
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: You're going to answer their.

177
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: Question, and as soon as you do, you've got to

178
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: delete their data and you cannot train your GPTs on

179
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: their data. Now, why did open ai agree to this?

180
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: Because it's Apple, they get to tap into millions and

181
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: millions of iPhone users. That's a big new audience for them,

182
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of exposure. The big catch to

183
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: all of this stuff you have to be fully immersed

184
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: in the Apple ecosystem. Now they say eventually third party

185
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: apps you can have your information in there and it

186
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: may be able to tap into this Apple Intelligence. But

187
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: right now, let's be honest, a lot of it's going

188
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: to be through Apple Mail, Apple messages, Apple Photos.

189
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: They want you to use Apple services.

190
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: A couple other interesting things come in with these, Apple

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Intelligence and image Eraser. This will remove unwanted people and

192
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: things from your photos, the ability to create AI images

193
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: from your photo library.

194
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: A built in phone call.

195
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: Recorder, so now you can have your iPhone record all

196
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: of your calls, transcribe and summarize them. Jen Moji these

197
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: are custom emojis you can create, so if you want

198
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: to send someone a picture of a donut in coffee,

199
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: you can just say create a custom emoji. And of

200
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: course the system wide tools for rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing text.

201
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: It is a lot.

202
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: I've outlined every one of these features in my newsletter

203
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: this week. Go to Rich on tech dot tv to

204
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: read it. We will talk about more of this throughout

205
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: the show, but yes, Apple is putting a big dose

206
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: of AI into their iPhones. It's going to be exciting,

207
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting. We will see how it

208
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: all plays out. Let's hope it's half as good as

209
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: they promised.

210
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: All right.

211
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: Coming up on today's show, Microsoft already recalling their AI feature.

212
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that, but first it is

213
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: your turn. Give me a call. Your call's coming up

214
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: at eight eight eight Rich one oh one. That's eight

215
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

216
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: Give me a call if you have a question technology.

217
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: My name is Richdmiro and you are listening to Rich

218
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: on tech. Steve from Pittsburgh writes in what are your

219
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: recommendations for buying e sims for data for foreign travel?

220
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: I travel a lot on cruises, and my additional free

221
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: data via T mobile is not fast enough for me.

222
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Thanks well, Steve, Thanks for writing.

223
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: In on the website.

224
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: The answer I typically give is errol ai r alo ai,

225
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: r alo errolo. They've got all kinds of sims that

226
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I've personally used in various countries. I've used this in Japan,

227
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: I've used this in Germany. I've used this in Italy

228
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: and some other places sprinkled throughout so you can get

229
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: local sims. You can get one that's just for a country,

230
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: you can get one that's regional, or you can get

231
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: one that's global. Obviously, the more global you can go,

232
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: the more expensive it's going to get. The more local

233
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: you go, the typically the cheaper it is. And these

234
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: work very very well. I will tell you my mom,

235
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: who is not a techie, I was able to purchase

236
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: this for her over the internet, have her install it

237
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: on her phone, and when she landed in the foreign

238
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: country that she went to, I said, just go into

239
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: your settings, toggle on the eSIM and you will be

240
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: able to connect to that network. And she was able

241
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: to and her friends were marveling at her because they

242
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that their phones were not working and hers were.

243
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: My other advice before you buy an eSIM is to

244
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: check with your cell phone company. So I know Steve

245
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: said that his data was too slow. But if you're

246
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: with like an AT and T or a Verizon, sometimes

247
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: depending on your plan, they will give you a certain

248
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: number of days included of their day pass. Typically they

249
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: charge about ten dollars a day for a day pass

250
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: and sometimes to ending. On your plan, you may get

251
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: one of those every month, or you may stalk those up.

252
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: So for instance, on my plan, I have like ten

253
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: of these stockpiled, so if I travel somewhere for a week,

254
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much covered for the week with those.

255
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: Stockpiled day passes.

256
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: I still prefer Aerlow better because it's just easier, it's simpler.

257
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: I can turn off my regular cell phone service, but

258
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: also check into Wi Fi calling and texting, because you

259
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: should be able to get your texts and your calls

260
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: internationally through your Wi Fi connection as long as your

261
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: provider does not charge for that service. Most of them don't. Also,

262
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: by the way, I ran this entire radio show. We

263
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: did a remote show in Germany off an Aerlo simcard,

264
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: so I know it's pretty good. I couldn't believe it,

265
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: and it did not use much data at all. Now

266
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: some other options. There's a new one. I was not

267
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: familiar with this one, but it's called gig Sky gigsky

268
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: dot com. I have not tested this, but I was

269
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: very surprised because you can actually get a free INTERNATIONALESIM

270
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: from them. So they offer a free one hundred megabyte

271
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: eSIM data plan that you can use in over one

272
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety countries. You don't even need a credit

273
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: card to try it out. So my recommendation is if

274
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: you are traveling anywhere internationally, the best you can do

275
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: for yourself is to just go to gigsky dot com

276
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: download this eSIM, even if you don't need it, just

277
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: to try it out and get the hang of it.

278
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: Let's say you have Verizon and you get those free days,

279
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: but just go ahead and go through the motions of

280
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: setting up this eSIM, just so you're familiar with it.

281
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: Because eSIMs have really revolutionized data internationally because it's so

282
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: easy and most of the modern smartphones support them. In fact,

283
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: if you have an iPhone I think it's fourteen, they

284
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: switched over completely to an eSIM, so you can't even

285
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: pop a physical SIM into the latest iPhones. So gigsky

286
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: g I g Sky dot com. That's another option and

287
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: another option. Again I have not to tested, but this

288
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: is what I do. I will mention these, but I

289
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: will test them eventually. Is called Sally sail Y, maybe

290
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: it's called Sale. I would think it's Sally, but they

291
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: also have and what's good about all of these e

292
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: sims is they kind of work the same.

293
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: You just search for the country you're going to.

294
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: You type it into the website, it will tell you

295
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: how much it costs, and then you can download the

296
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: SIM to your the e SIM to your phone. It's

297
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: very simple, and then you just activate it when you

298
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: land in that country. So if you want links to

299
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: any of those, just go to the website. Rich on

300
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: tech dot TV hit the light bulb. I'll put that

301
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: in there. Thanks for the question. If you have one

302
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight eight

303
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. The news

304
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: this week Microsoft is actually delaying its recall feature for

305
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: those Copilot Plus PCs. We talked about this so much

306
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Microsoft was so excited about

307
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: this new recall feature that remembers everything on your screen

308
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: and lets you search for it. And then the next

309
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: week they said, oh, you know what, because of all

310
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: the privacy concerns, we're not going to turn it on

311
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: by default, and we're going to require the face ID

312
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: login Microsoft hellow. And now this week they're just coming

00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: gonna include it on those computers that are available on

315
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: June eighteenth. We're just going to make this for our

316
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Windows Insider program. Those are like the real techy nerdy

317
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: folks that download the software before everyone else. We're gonna

318
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,239
Speaker 1: let them try it out first, give us their feedback,

319
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: and then maybe we'll activate this as an option on

320
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: those Copilot plus PCs. So Microsoft doing a full one

321
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600

Speaker 1: two four one zero one. My name is Rich dmiro.

325
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: You are listening to Rich on tech Tony in Los Angeles.

326
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

327
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: What's up?

328
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: Hello?

329
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 4: I recently noticed a feature or a voicemail on my

330
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 4: iPhone where you can send it to a voicemail, but

331
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 4: it starts texting you a live I guess text of

332
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 4: the voicemail and if you want, you can answer it,

333
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 4: sort of like an answering machine. Are you aware of that?

334
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 5: And do you know anything about it?

335
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 6: Have you noticed it?

336
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: Yes?

337
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: I've noticed it, and so has everyone else. Because here's

338
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: the deal. It is annoying. It hijacked everyone's voicemail on

339
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: the iPhone, and Apple didn't even tell anyone they were

340
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: doing this, so yes, they announced it.

341
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: It is called live voicemail.

342
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: This is a feature that was introduced with iOS seventeen

343
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: and this was turned on by default, and people all

344
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden started noticing their phones were acting strange,

345
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: their voicemail was acting different, and it was just turned on.

346
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: So live voicemail basically shows you what the caller is

347
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: saying as they leave a voicemail message. It displays the

348
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: message in real time on your screen, sort of like

349
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: an old school voicemail or not voicemail, sort of like

350
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: an old school answering machine. The caller cannot hear you

351
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: unless you decide to answer the call. Now, this is

352
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: obviously good for like cutting down on spam and things

353
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: like that, but I think it surprised a lot of

354
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: people because they just said, wait, what's going on here.

355
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what my phone is doing at

356
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: this point. And so you have the option to turn

357
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: this on or off. If you want to turn it off,

358
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: you can go into the settings app on your iPhone,

359
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: tap phone and then tap live voicemail, and that will

360
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: turn the feature on or off. So if you want

361
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: to see what people said in the live voicemails, you

362
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: can look in the voicemail tab. iPhone won't delete these,

363
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: And it's just one of these things where I'm fine

364
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: with it. I mean, I don't use voicemail in general,

365
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: Like I don't even answer for a while. My phone

366
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: just would not even have voicemail until I think they

367
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: toggled this on. I just recently turned voicemail on on

368
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: my phone. But the thing is, I don't need voicemail,

369
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: like if someone if I see a missed call from

370
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: a number, I know, I'm gonna call it back. Uh,

371
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: and usually that person's gonna text me too. So that's

372
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: the explanation for this live voicemail feature. I think it's

373
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: a little odd that Apple turned it on for everyone,

374
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: and it is a little confusing, So if you want

375
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: it off, you can go into settings and turn it off.

376
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: But I mean, I guess it's quite useful if you

377
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: like to screen your calls, and this is something you

378
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: are not able to easily do with your traditional voicemail carrier.

379
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: But if you just want the regular voicemail experience where

380
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: it goes to voicemail, person leaves a message and you

381
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: can check it later, you can you can just turn

382
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: this feature off in the settings. Tony, thanks for the question, Tony,

383
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: good question today.

384
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.

385
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one one eight eight eight seven four

386
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: to two four one zero one. Let's see, let's go

387
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: to do we have time. Let's go to Sue in

388
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades, California.

389
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 2: Sue, you're on with Rich.

390
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning.

391
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 8: How are you doing?

392
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: I am doing fantastic. What can I help you with? Yeah?

393
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 8: I'm calling because we bought an Apple Watch for my

394
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 8: husbands because it has the all detection feature. And for

395
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 8: the first several times that he fell, it worked, and

396
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 8: then I noticed it didn't work another time, another time,

397
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 8: and another time, including one time when he broke his arm.

398
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 8: So it's quite a hard fall.

399
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: Wow.

400
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 8: So I well, finally went down to the I made

401
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 8: phone calls. They said, oh, it's sometimes they work, sometimes

402
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 8: they don't, just a function of the feature.

403
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's a great answer.

404
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 8: Well it gets worse.

405
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: Okay, it's worse.

406
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 8: So finally go to the Apple store and they tried

407
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 8: to say, well, you have to take your phone to

408
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 8: Watch in to be repaired, and I pressed further. They

409
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 8: finally got an engineer on the phone after a long

410
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 8: call who says that they know they have a problem

411
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 8: with the fall feature and they're waiting on an update

412
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 8: for the PHM. I mean, excuse me for the watch

413
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 8: to do it. But the problem is in the meantime,

414
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 8: they know about this, but they're not letting people who

415
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 8: depend upon the feature know that some of watches have

416
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 8: this problem.

417
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: Well, what do you mean some watches have this problem?

418
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: What I mean? Number one, I'm always a little.

419
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: Bit hesitant when some random, unnamed engineer says we know

420
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: there's a problem, because I don't think Apple would admit that.

421
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: I don't I've not heard.

422
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: Of a major issue with this fall detection, but I

423
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: will tell you I agree with you. It is definitely

424
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: all over the place and you cannot rely on it.

425
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.

426
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: I'm playing football out in the street with my kid

427
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: wearing my Apple Watch, and I'm not kidding. On the

428
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: second throw, it says, hey do you take a hard fall?

429
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: And it happens quite often, and I'm like, how does

430
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: this algorithm not know so when a football is being

431
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: catched versus me taking a hard fall? But you know,

432
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: these features are experimental, they are new, and it definitely

433
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: is one of these things where Apple is not making

434
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: any guarantees. If you look in the fine print of

435
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: any of their medical features, it's like, oh, and by

436
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: the way, you can't really rely on these things in

437
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: a real, you know, situation, so you have to be

438
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: very careful with that. What did the engineer say is

439
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: the problem with the feature?

440
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 8: They said, And first of all, the fact that it

441
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 8: worked even on the slightest provocation early on and now

442
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 8: it doesn't work at all, even in a very difficult

443
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 8: situation led us to explore, and the manager of the

444
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 8: Apple store got on the phone with a lot of

445
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 8: different people, finally ended up with someone in their tech

446
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 8: department who said, yes, we know, we have a problem

447
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 8: that didn't basically didn't exist before. Something has happened that

448
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 8: some of the watches need a software up date and

449
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 8: in order to start working again for fall detection. And

450
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 8: I'm just telling you what the person on the phone

451
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 8: said to the Apple store manager.

452
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: Okay, well, what I would do, I would do a

453
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: couple of things. Number one, I would go into your

454
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Apple Watch. I would reset the Apple Watch. So I

455
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: would do a complete factory reset, okay, and that would

456
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: take everything back to the factory system. Then I would

457
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: make sure go into the Apple Watch app and make

458
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: sure that there are no updates pending for your Apple Watch.

459
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: There are you know, from time to time, there's a

460
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: lot of updates for these things, so I would make

461
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: sure that all of those updates have been installed on

462
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: this device. After you do the want, I want you

463
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: to start fresh, and then once you start fresh, do

464
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: all the software updates. Then go into the settings on

465
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: your Apple Watch, go into SOS and fall detection and

466
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: make sure it's turned on. And then also you need

467
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: to kind of look at when this thing is activating

468
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: because there's an always on feature, which means fall detection

469
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: is always checking to see if you've fallen, and then

470
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: there's one that's only on during workouts, so that means

471
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: it's only going to detect if you've taken a fall

472
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: while you've started a workout. Now, I do know that

473
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: Apple has you know, they've been improving this and they've

474
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: been doing better with this stuff. I'm reading something interesting here. Okay, See,

475
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: if you're between the ages of eighteen and fifty five,

476
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: setting up a new Apple Watch fall detection during workouts

477
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: is oh wow, Okay, that's interesting. So it could be

478
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: that this is set up that this is only turned

479
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: on during workouts if you're between eighteen and fifty five.

480
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: So definitely check that setting and make sure and then

481
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: if you notice, here's the fine print I was talking about.

482
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: It says Noe Apple Watch cannot detect all falls. The

483
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: more physically active you are, the more likely you are

484
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: to trigger fall detection due to high impact activity that

485
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: can appear.

486
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: To be a fall.

487
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: So with all of this said, I know, Sue that

488
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: it's it's not what you want to hear because it's

489
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: not a perfect system, and I get that, but the

490
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: fact that you've got your husband clearly seems to be

491
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: at risk of falling, you need to be sure that

492
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: whatever system he has in place to get help if

493
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: that happens if he's alone, that is working. So I

494
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: would look into this, and I would look into maybe

495
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: there are some more, you know, hardier solutions out there

496
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: that are more dedicated to this.

497
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: I'm not aware of those.

498
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: I often go to some of these events with like

499
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: medical devices and things like that, but you may want

500
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: to look into, you know, maybe something like you know,

501
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: one of those like life alert kind of things or

502
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: something like that where he can manually trigger it as well.

503
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 2: Good question.

504
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: Please do those software updates, Please check the settings, and

505
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 1: hopefully you don't have to use this feature, but if

506
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: you do, it could really be life saving. And I

507
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: know this has helped a lot of people. The pixel

508
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 1: Watch has it, the Apple Watch has it, and it

509
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: really does help. But again it's just not perfect. Eight

Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Let's go to Brett in Lamar, Colorado. Brett,

520
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: you're on with rich.

521
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 3: Rich Hullo.

522
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 5: My wife and I share an Apple Idy and have

523
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 5: for years, and somewhere around maybe the first of the year,

524
00:26:52,680 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: our phones started sharing voicemails and call logs. Yep, so

525
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 5: her phone don't actually come to her phone, calls don't

526
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: come to my phone, but her voicemails do.

527
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: Yes.

528
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: This was a change in iOS seventeen where I got

529
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: a lot of calls about this early on about people saying,

530
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: what's going on here? All of a sudden, I'm seeing

531
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: all the phone calls from my partner and I said, well,

532
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: what's happening. Do you share an Apple ID? Well, yeah,

533
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: well that's why it's happening. So the only way around

534
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: this is to set up a secondary Apple ID, and

535
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: that way your wife will have you know, will have

536
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: their voicemails and things, and you'll have your voicemails. And

537
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: that's really the only way to get around it. Because

538
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: they made some sort of key change in iOS seventeen.

539
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: I think what they did was they linked the call

540
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 1: logs with iCloud, which maybe they didn't do in the past,

541
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 1: and so I think that's what triggered this change. And

542
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to see if there's a let's see,

543
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: is there a Okay, so there is now there is

544
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: one more option you can try. I've not tried this,

545
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: but Brett, just in general, my general recommendation is that

546
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: people do not share their Apple ID, and that's for

547
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. Number one, it's confusing because you're

548
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: using the same Apple ID to log into different devices

549
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: and two different people are using them, and that could

550
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: have some security implications if one of the devices gets lost,

551
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: that could be a problem, but also just for confusion

552
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: and things like this. An Apple has a system for this.

553
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: It's called family sharing. So all you have to do

554
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: is set up a secondary Apple ID. Everything is shared

555
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: across the Apple ID. So if you purchased an app

556
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: and paid a subscription for it, you know your partner

557
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: would be able to download that app to their phone

558
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: and still have that subscription.

559
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: This happened the other day with my wife.

560
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: I told her about this great app I downloaded and

561
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 1: she's like, ah, it's like twelve bucks for the year.

562
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, you should just be able to log

563
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: in and use my subscription because we're sharing that family plan. Now,

564
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: it might depend on how the app developer sets it up,

565
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: but in this case, yeah, she downloaded it and said,

566
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: oh you have premium, you're good. And so I think

567
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of parents as well

568
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: do this. They give their kids their iPad and they

569
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: sign in with their Apple ID, and next thing you know,

570
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: the kid is getting all of the parents text messages

571
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: on their iPad. That's because you're sharing the same Apple ID.

572
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: So I don't recommend this for a lot of reasons,

573
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: mostly privacy, mostly organization and security. So the only other thing, Brett,

574
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: that I could recommend it, And like I said, I

575
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: have not tried this myself. But if you go into

576
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: iCloud on the devices, okay, So go into settings, okay,

577
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: tap your name at the top where it says your name,

578
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: that's your iCloud. It gets your Apple ID account, and

579
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: then you tap iCloud okay, and then there will say

580
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: apps using iCloud, tap show all and there is an

581
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: option where it says phone and FaceTime. So I would

582
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: assume if you turn that off, you should stop sharing

583
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: the call logs and the voicemails because now it's not

584
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: uploading those to iCloud and it's not re downloading them

585
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: to your partner's phone. So you can try that if

586
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: you want to continue sharing this Apple ID. Again, I

587
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: don't typically recommend sharing the Apple ID, but if you must,

588
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: that might be the way around it. I'll put those

589
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: instructions on the website. Rich on tech dot tv hit

590
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: the light bulb. Thanks for the call today, Brett in

591
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: Colorado eighty eight rich one oh one eight eight eight

592
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: seven four to two four to one zero one. Samsung

593
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: has a new smart watch that is an affordable new

594
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: smart watch. It's called the Galaxy Watch FE. FE used

595
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: to stand for Fan Edition. This is kind of their

596
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: more budget line of their devices. So they come out

597
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: with their main devices and then they come out with

598
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: these FE version of the devices. They come out with

599
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: them for the phone and now the watch and the earbuds,

600
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like a more basic budget version.

601
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: They still have a lot of great features for the price.

602
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: So this watch is two hundred dollars and it is.

603
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: It's got all the health monitoring features, sleep tracking, heart

604
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: rate tracking, exercise tracking. It's got forty millimeters size, so

605
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: it's not the biggest out there, and especially with the

606
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: bezel if you see it in person, the bezel is

607
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: kind of thick on this one, so the screen's not

608
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: the biggest. But again, this is a very reasonably priced

609
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: smart watch. It's got durable sapphire crystal glass. Comes in

610
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: three colors, black, pink, gold, and silver, and pink gold

611
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: goes together, not black, pink gold and silver, black pink

612
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: gold and silver. Obviously, it's going to work with all

613
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: of the Samsung devices. You know, you can control the camera,

614
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: use it for payments, tap to pay all that good stuff.

615
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: This is going to be available in the US starting

616
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: on June twenty fourth, and again it's one hundred and

617
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars for the Galaxy Watch FE. The LTE

618
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: will be available in October for two hundred and forty

619
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: nine dollars. These are both fantastic prices. They kind of

620
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: undercut the Apple Watch and some of the other pixel

621
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: watches and things by a couple of bucks. And so

622
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: I think this is a very smart move because you

623
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: pretty much get everything you need. You're not really missing

624
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: a lot with this device. But you might be thinking, rich,

625
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: well what am I missing? What am I not getting

626
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: by not spending all the pricey money on a Galaxy

627
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: Watch six series.

628
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: Well, here's what you don't get.

629
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: You get a slightly slower processor, and it's not by much,

630
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a slightly slower processor. You're gonna

631
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: get a slightly smaller battery, You're gonna get a little

632
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: bit less Bluetooth.

633
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

634
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: It means that the FE is supporting Bluetooth five point zero,

635
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: while the Galaxy Watch six series is supporting Bluetooth five

636
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: point three.

637
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: That just means that Bluetooth is going to be a.

638
00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: Little bit more evolved on the higher end models, but

639
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be just fine here. And the

640
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 1: main sensor that you do not get is the temperature sensor.

641
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: So if you're really interested in that temperature censor tracking,

642
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: which I will admit is getting much more popular among

643
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: these watches because people are relying on that to tell

644
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: them if they're getting sick. So if you notice that

645
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: your temperature is deviating from its norm, that's an indicator

646
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: that you might be getting sick.

647
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor.

648
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: This is not medical advice, but I'm just saying that's

649
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: what people are using as that telltale sign that they

650
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: might be coming down with a cold or something else.

651
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: Is that temperature sensor. You do not get that in

652
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: the Galaxy Watch fe But otherwise not a bad deal.

653
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Coming up June twenty fourth, one hundred and ninety nine bucks.

654
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,920

Speaker 1: a fantastic day. I know I am. You can follow

665
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: me on social media at rich on Tech. I'm on Instagram,

666
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm on Facebook, I'm on x Although Facebook told me

667
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: your posts are no longer resonating with your followers, here's

668
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: some things you can do to make sure they see them.

669
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: So what.

670
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: All these social media platforms they want you to interact

671
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: as much as humanly possible with the people that are

672
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: commenting and with the posts and all that kind of stuff.

673
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: They want you to post on other people's stuff. And

674
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: it's a problem because I don't have time for that.

675
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, I've got three social networks, plus a newsletter

676
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to keep up, plus this show, plus

677
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: the TV segments. I can't sit there and comment on

678
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: every single comment that someone comments on my Facebook page.

679
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: So sorry, Facebook, I will keep putting my stuff on there,

680
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, they don't show it to as many people

681
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: as they should because they want it to be a

682
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: two way street. That's why I really kind of doubled

683
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: down on my newsletter, which I send out to everyone

684
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: basically on Fridays or Saturday mornings. So that's I know

685
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: that I know is going to reach your inbox. So

686
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: if you want to sign up for that Rich on

687
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: tech dot tv, just hit sign up. It is free

688
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: and it's pretty cool. It's pretty much everything I think

689
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: you should know in the week, all in one place.

690
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: All right, So WWDC happened this week Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.

691
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you a couple more things that

692
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: happened there. So let's talk about let's see, let's do

693
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: the Watch. So watch OS eleven. This is for the

694
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: Apple Watch New Things here, they've got this new vitals app.

695
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: So this vitals app is going to monitor your vital signs,

696
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: so different things that are happening, like your body temperature,

697
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: your heart rate, your vitals basically and your breathing, and

698
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: it's going to let you know if there's any change

699
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: in those vitals. And again I was talking about this

700
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: earlier with the temperature sensor. This it might tell you

701
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: in the morning, hey, you had an elevated heart rate

702
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: last night. That could either mean that this is happening

703
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: or maybe you drink alcohol or something like that. Like

704
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 1: it'll show you these different little insights on your watch.

705
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: Activity rings are getting more customizable. You're able to pause them.

706
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: I could care less about the activity rings. I like

707
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: to close them, but I don't really give much thought

708
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: to them. But I guess a lot of people do

709
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: and make sure that they always close their rings every day,

710
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's great if that's motivation for you.

711
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: When the Apple Watch first came out, yes, I looked

712
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: at my rings all the time. But now I kind

713
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: of know when I do a workout. Right, if I

714
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: go running on the tread for half an hour, I

715
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: know I got a workout, so I don't need to

716
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: look at the rings to let me know that I

717
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 1: got that workout. But I know a lot of people

718
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: maybe if you're just doing steps or something like that.

719
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: But people get into these streaks, all of these apps.

720
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: They love these streaks because it keeps you engaged. So

721
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: you can pause your rings. Like let's say you get

722
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: a broken leg, you can pause your rings that you

723
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: don't lose your streak. Okay, the smart Stack that's the

724
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: thing if you roll up the little scrolly dial on

725
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch, that's the stuff that comes up. Developers

726
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: can now develop specifically for that, so that'll get smarter,

727
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: maybe more useful. Also, the translate app. This is kind

728
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: of cool because the translate app is something that's very

729
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: handy if you are out and about in a foreign

730
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: country need stuff translated. That is now on the Apple

731
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: Watch with watchOS eleven. And you can also download the

732
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: languages offline. So let's say you're in Italy you need

733
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: to ask someone direction somewhere, you can do it all

734
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: through your Apple Watch. And the check in feature is

735
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: coming to the Apple Watch. The check in feed is

736
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: the feature that says, hey, I'm going out for a run,

737
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: make sure I come back home. If I don't, email

738
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: or text a loved one and tell them, hey, we're

739
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, check on me. So that's the Apple Watch.

740
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: Then we've got iPad OS eighteen. The main thing that's

741
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: coming to the iPad os is this thing called math

742
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: notes and a calculator. So it's been a long running

743
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: joke that there's no calculator app for the iPad. Finally,

744
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: the iPad is getting an official calculator app. But the

745
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: neat feature is called math notes. What is math notes?

746
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty much a I don't know how to explain it.

747
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: It's a piece, you know. It's a place where you

748
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: do math equations, but it solves them in your own handwriting.

749
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: So you can write down two plus two equals and

750
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: it will give you the number four, but it writes

751
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: it in your handwriting. Yeah, it's super wild and weird,

752
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be great for kids learning math, I guess,

753
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: or cheating on math however you want to look at it.

754
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: But overall, it can handle really complex equations and again

755
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: it answers them in your handwriting. Only Apple would come

756
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: up with something like that. It is so wild. I've

757
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: seen it in person and it works.

758
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 2: It's cool, and it's gonna be a neat feature.

759
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: They also have one more feature which I personally can't

760
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: wait to try. You can write on the page in

761
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: your own handwriting, and the iPad will clean up your handwriting.

762
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: It will make you a better writer, so it's actually

763
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: more legible. Because my handwriting is horrible. You can't read it,

764
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: so iPads supposedly will just clean it up and it

765
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: learns your handwriting over time. I mean it literally learns

766
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: how to write just like you. You can copy and

767
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: paste text onto a page and it will write that

768
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: down in your own handwriting. I mean, come on, this

769
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: is just wild, wild stuff Mac os Sequoia. The main

770
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: new feature there, this is for you know, desktops and laptops,

771
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: is iPhone mirroring. You will now be able to see

772
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: your iPhone screen on your computer desktop, and not only

773
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: see it, but manipulate it. So whatever you need to

774
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: do on your iPhone, you'll be able to do right

775
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: from your computer screen. So if you are on your

776
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: computer all day long at work and your iPhone is

777
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: next to your computer, instead of glancing down and unlocking

778
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: your iPhone and doing all these things to like check

779
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: notifications and stuff, all of that will come straight through

780
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: to your Mac computer and you can actually manipulate anything

781
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: on your iPhone screen that you would typically pick up

782
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: your phone to do. So that's gonna be kind of

783
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: a neat thing for the Mac computers. Now let's get

784
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: to the most important one, the Apple Vision pro. Okay,

785
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm kind of kidding because I know this has not

786
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: sold a ton, but I still do have high hopes

787
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: for the Apple Vision Pro when they can make it smaller, lighter,

788
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: and I don't think it needs to be better, because

789
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: I think it's already incredible. I think it just needs

790
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: to be smaller and lighter, and that's basically it, and

791
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: get rid of that battery pack. But the Apple Vision OS,

792
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: it's called Vision OS, that's what it runs on there.

793
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: This is a major new update. It's called Vision OS two.

794
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: One of the main things you can do create spatial

795
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: photos from any existing photo. It uses advanced machine learning

796
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: to kind of separate the image from the background, and

797
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: your photos look like they're in three D. Of course,

798
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: Apple does not use the term three D. They use

799
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: spatial because three D is standard. Spatial little more unique.

800
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: There's new hand gestures so you can I forget what

801
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: they are, but there's a bunch of new hand gestures

802
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: that make it easier to navigate.

803
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: This is kind of cool.

804
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: You can make your Mac in your screen, in your

805
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: virtual VR screen. You can make your Mac display huge,

806
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: so you can make it giant in front of you.

807
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: You can make it really giant or like one of

808
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: those giant, giant, giant curve screens. And that is really cool.

809
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: I can't wait to try that out. So if you

810
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: just have a regular small computer screen, if you have

811
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: a Mac computer, you can see that computer screen in

812
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: the vision os like in this headset the Apple Vision Pro.

813
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: But now you can make that screen huge, like one

814
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: of those big wrap around screens that everyone loves to

815
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: have at work.

816
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 2: That's cool, let's see.

817
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: The other thing is that they now have I talked

818
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: about this on this show, how annoying it is to

819
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: have a guest try out your Vision Pro because they

820
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: have to go through this whole process of setting it up,

821
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: and then as soon as they take it off their

822
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: head all that information goes away they have to reset it. Well,

823
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: Apple said, oh okay, we will save your hand and

824
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: I data for thirty days now, so if you want

825
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: a family member or a friend to try it out,

826
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: their information will be saved in the vision Pro headset

827
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: for thirty days. It's interesting that they didn't go as

828
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: far as adding guest users, like multiple users, but this,

829
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: I guess is like a little tiptoe step towards that,

830
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: because they're really trying to make the Apple Vision Pro

831
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: a one on one kind of device.

832
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So with all that said, Apple at.

833
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: WWDC twenty twenty four rendered a lot of third party

834
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: apps useless or redundant. This is something called sherlocking. So

835
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: back in the day, Apple came out with an app

836
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: that replaced an app called Shurelock.

837
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to get this wrong.

838
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know the history on this, but basically,

839
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: sherlocking is when Apple comes out with one of their

840
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: own apps that replaces a third party app. So, for instance,

841
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: I use an app on my Mac computer called Rectangle,

842
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: and that app is now redundant because Apple has built

843
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: this feature into the Mac operating system. So tech Crunch

844
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: went through and came up with a list of all

845
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: the different apps. So number one, their password app now

846
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: competes with one password, last Pass, Bitwarden and proton Pass.

847
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: The native call recording and transcription in the iPhone now

848
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: challenges tape a Call and True Caller Voice transcription in

849
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: the Notes app that replaces Otter Audio pen and Voice

850
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: nototes dot Com. The iPhone mirroring on the Mac overshadows

851
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: the Bezel app. Then that Windows tiling feature I just

852
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: talked about replaces the functionality of Magnet and Rectangle. The

853
00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: custom emoji creation competes with the nugipp I don't know

854
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: that one. Oh yeah, you can also create custom trails

855
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: in Apple Maps that challenges the all Trails app. And

856
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: then of course you've got the writing tools powered by

857
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: AI that impacts grammarly, which I absolutely love on my computer.

858
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 2: But now I might not need it anymore.

859
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: So all of these apps that Apple comes out with

860
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: first party it kind of puts these third party developers

861
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: in a tough place because it's much easier to use

862
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: the app that's built into the iPhone or the iPad

863
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: or the Mac computer instead of downloading and potentially.

864
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 2: Paying for a third party app. They do it all

865
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 2: the time.

866
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: Eighty to eight rich one oh one eight eight eight

867
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one.

868
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 2: We'll get back to the phone lines in just a moment.

869
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: Right after the break the website Richontech dot TV.

870
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 2: My name is rich Damio.

871
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to

872
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here talking technology at triple

873
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: eight Rich one on one. That's eight eight eight seven

874
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: four two four one zero one. Get to the phone

875
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: lines in just a second. I see you hanging on there.

876
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: I just want to explain. I kind of.

877
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: Quickly went over the apps that Apple was replacing, and

878
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: I mentioned the sherlocking thing, and I didn't really know

879
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: exactly what that meant because I wasn't describing it very well.

880
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: So sherlocking is when Apple releases a new feature or

881
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: app that sort of replicates the functionality of an existing

882
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: third party app, essentially making the latter redundant. So this

883
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: term was coined after Apple's shrlock search app came out

884
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: in the late nineties. See that's why I didn't know,

885
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: because that was kind of before my time rendered this.

886
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: Other software companies they they made a very similar app

887
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: called Watson, and when Apple came out was shrlock, it

888
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: made the Watson app obsolete, and so that's why people

889
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: called it shrlocking. So now you know, let's go to

890
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: Alan and Santa Clarita. Alan, you're on with Rich.

891
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, Rich, love your shows, Thank you. I have

892
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 3: an issue my one of my family members back. He

893
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 3: suddenly has anointed us as a a friendly group of

894
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 3: the family and has sent this Marie photo they've ever

895
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 3: taken up their children, and I went to jump them

896
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 3: because they're clogging my iPhoto in their clog in my

897
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 3: cloud and it tells me I can't delete them.

898
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't delete the uh the album or what?

899
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 3: I can't delete the album?

900
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 6: Another?

901
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 3: Let me back up here.

902
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: So this was shared with you, Yeah, albums shared with me.

903
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 3: And when I go to let me try to dump it.

904
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 2: Here, it'll work because you're on the phone with me.

905
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 3: Now of course, Well I drug it, drugged the entire

906
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 3: album to the trash. Yeah, and it's just staring at me.

907
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: Okay, illuminated.

908
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 3: I can't even no, I can't even move it around,

909
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 3: let's say, on the page.

910
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 2: So are you doing this from your Mac computer, your iPhone?

911
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 3: My mac computer?

912
00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 2: Okay?

913
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 1: So first off, as far as I understand, the shared

914
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: albums shouldn't take up storage in your I cloud. It

915
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: should only take up the storage in the sharer's iCloud

916
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 1: unless you Yeah, that's that's number one. So it should

917
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,959
Speaker 1: not really affect your iCloud storage. And that makes sense

918
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: because you know Apple. Like, let's say I'm sharing my

919
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: photos with you, right, so I make this album, I

920
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: put all these photos in there. That's gonna They're stored

921
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: in my iCloud, right, That's where they are first and foremost.

922
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: And so when I share that link to you, it's

923
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: just a link to those albums. Yes, it might show

924
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: up in your shared you know albums, but it's not

925
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: taking up any memory on your iCloud because where those

926
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: photos physically live is on my iCloud storage. That's number one.

927
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: If it makes you feel any better, that's the way

928
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: that should work. Now, if you're doing a shared library,

929
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 1: that's a different scenario. A shared library is where a

930
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: spouse or a partner whoever, wants to share all of

931
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: their pictures in their library, and they it uses up

932
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: storage on both of their I clouds because it's kind

933
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: of not not necessarily duplicating those pictures, but it kind

934
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: of is in a in a you know, in a way.

935
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 2: So that's number one.

936
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: Number two, if you want to delete this, I'm I

937
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: have a shared album right here, and I'm looking at it,

938
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: and it shows me my shared album details, which has

939
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: the owner and all the other people that can see it.

940
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: And then there's an option to unsubscribe, so you can

941
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: try that and see if that helps by unsubscribing to

942
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: that album. But if it's just the storage that you're

943
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: worried about, you know that that shouldn't be too much

944
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: of an issue because it, as far as I know,

945
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: that does not take up storage on your iCloud unless

946
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: you take a picture from that album and you save

947
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: it to yours. So if you press the share icon

948
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: on the album and then say save to my you

949
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 1: know iCloud, which is you know, you press that share icon,

950
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: it says save image. That will save that image permanently

951
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: into your iCloud life library. So that reminds me I

952
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: should probably do that on these images because I'm looking

953
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: at this shared album and't I don't think I saved

954
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: those to my library. But Alan, I hope that helps

955
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: clear things up there in Santa Clarita. I mean, look,

956
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: we are in the sharing economy and sometimes people like

957
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: to share a lot of stuff, and that's what sounds

958
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: like is happening with you. So try those things and

959
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: see if it helps. And if you can't unsubscribe on

960
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: your computer, maybe try it on the iPhone and hit

961
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: that unsubscribe in the menu and that should delete it

962
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: that shared album from your phone and from your iCloud library.

963
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Let's go to Mike and Corona, California. Mike,

964
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich Hi.

965
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 9: Rich, Hi, My question is Apple. I have an iPhone

966
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 9: Apple fifteen, right, and I'm getting like updates, If not

967
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 9: every week, probably every other week is the latest, and

968
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 9: that was seventeen points something.

969
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

970
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 9: Now my question to you Rich the apps that I

971
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 9: myself count on just to make a living, do they

972
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 9: get affected by these by these updates? For example, the

973
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 9: sound notification, it's stopped sending sound notification. We count on

974
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 9: it because in the middle of the night, a job

975
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 9: comes up, right, and if there's no sound, there's no

976
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 9: way for me to know that there's a job.

977
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

978
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 9: Now, again the question is those updates would they affect

979
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 9: these apps?

980
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can for sure, and in fact, specifically with

981
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: a sound I know Apple in a recent update did

982
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: tweak the sound because so many people are having issues

983
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: with not being able to set their own notification sounds

984
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: and the notification sound that was the default was too silent.

985
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: So yes, I know recently they did change the notification

986
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: sounds and they tweaked it a little bit, so that

987
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: could be what you're experiencing. But yes, in general, any

988
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: software update can change any functionality at any time, So

989
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: if there's an app that's very important to you that

990
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: you rely on, be sure to check those that functionality

991
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: After a major software update of either the app or

992
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: the operating system every time. Great question, Mike.

993
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: Coming out.

994
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk more WWDC right here on rich on Tech.

995
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 2: Welcome back to rich on Tech.

996
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

997
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight

998
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. We'll get

999
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: back to the phone lines in just a moment, but

1000
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: first I want to talk more about Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.

1001
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: This is where Apple showed off Apple Intelligence and also

1002
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: iOS eighteen some of the new features coming to the iPhone.

1003
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,959
Speaker 1: So I talked to a bunch of journalists up there

1004
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: and I got their take on some of the biggest announcements.

1005
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: Let's start with Zach. He's the editor at large for

1006
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,479
Speaker 1: nine to five Mac, and he talks about Apple's own

1007
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 1: brand of AI.

1008
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 10: I think for a lot of people these software updates

1009
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 10: will be the first introduction to AI in general. They're

1010
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 10: using that phrase Apple Intelligence rather than saying AI. I

1011
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 10: think it makes it a little more friendly or a little

1012
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 10: less scary than the connotation AI taking over may have.

1013
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 10: I think they get a very good job of narrowing

1014
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 10: down what the AI does, what Apple Intelligence can do,

1015
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 10: in terms of this will help you be a better writer,

1016
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 10: It will help you communicate better with image generation in

1017
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 10: playful ways, ways that people already use, generating your own

1018
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 10: emojis that have waiting for them to finally make whatever

1019
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 10: emoji you want to see one day, and those are

1020
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 10: the things that people will actually do.

1021
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 2: And there's things like integrating with chat GPN.

1022
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 11: See.

1023
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:51,439
Speaker 12: So if you're a.

1024
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 10: Power AI user already, you can look at Apple Intelligence

1025
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 10: and say, okay, those are some system integrated things, but

1026
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 10: you can also continue using AI that you've already learned

1027
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 10: and sort of mastered for free anonymously, which is the

1028
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 10: Apple privacy angle. And that's that's a big difference in

1029
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 10: Apple Intelligence and what they're doing versus other companies. But

1030
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 10: they're also working with those companies making them more private.

1031
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 10: There's even a feature to let you pay for chat

1032
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 10: to BT and get more out of those features with

1033
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 10: your mac, iPhone and iPad, and that's I think the

1034
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 10: best anyone can ask for in terms of getting Apple's

1035
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 10: version of AI as well as the existing stuff out there.

1036
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 10: I think it's a very exciting update this year for

1037
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 10: all the hardware. I think that where companies like open

1038
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 10: Ai need to sell their AI as a service. Apple

1039
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 10: is using AI to sell their devices, their hardware, and

1040
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 10: their services sure, and I also think it's only the

1041
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 10: first year that AI will deeply influence what the software

1042
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 10: bits do because they're doing modern AI right now. But

1043
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 10: over the next year it will change, and each year

1044
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 10: in the next few years, I think it'll change quickly

1045
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 10: so that iOS nineteen and iOS twenty be just as

1046
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 10: AI specific as I was eighteen today.

1047
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: Next up Carolina Milansy. She is the president and principal

1048
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: analyst at Creative Strategies, and she talks a lot about

1049
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: how Apple has full control over their hardware and software,

1050
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: which allows them to integrate AI throughout their devices, but

1051
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: maintain that all important privacy.

1052
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 13: I think obviously, for Apple, privacy is paramount, and I

1053
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 13: think they did a good job in explaining that everything

1054
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 13: that is Apple Intelligence, that is homegrown by Apple is

1055
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 13: private both on device and in the cloud. So they're

1056
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 13: using their servers with their silicon to make sure that

1057
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 13: whenever the model on the device is not enough and

1058
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 13: they need to go to the cloud, everything remains private

1059
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 13: and secure.

1060
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 9: I think the.

1061
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 13: Difference that Apple has is that they control everything right,

1062
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 13: They control the operating system. They control the hardware and

1063
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 13: then some of the services they have on it, and

1064
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 13: that gives you the ability to really bring AI throughout

1065
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 13: the system, throughout the device, and so the phone in

1066
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 13: this case for others like Samsong is a bit more

1067
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 13: complicated because they don't control all the pieces, and so

1068
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,479
Speaker 13: they're still value, but you're going to have to pick

1069
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 13: and choose where you want that value to show up.

1070
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: Mark Spoonauer, global editor in chief at Tom's Guide, talks

1071
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: about how iOS eighteen will bring some useful features to

1072
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: everyday users, but Apple Intelligence will be limited to the

1073
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,439
Speaker 1: latest iPhone fifteen Pro models and later, which might leave

1074
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: some users behind.

1075
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 14: I would say that AI was everywhere, but in a

1076
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 14: good way, in the sense that it's going to be

1077
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 14: coming to the devices that we already use. But there's

1078
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 14: a catch, I think with the Apple Intelligence in particular,

1079
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 14: because it's nice that they're thinking about like the personal

1080
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 14: and contextual awareness and things like that, but the fact

1081
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,479
Speaker 14: that it's limited to the latest model iPhone fifteen Pro

1082
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 14: and iPhone fifteen Pro macs, I think it's going to

1083
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 14: leave millions out in the cold. Like if you have

1084
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 14: an iPhone fifteen from this year, you still can't participate,

1085
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 14: So I think it goes to show that Apple Silicon

1086
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 14: you need something really powerful under the hood in order

1087
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 14: to enjoy all.

1088
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 15: Of these new features.

1089
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 14: So I think there's a lot of people who are

1090
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 14: gonna have upgrade envy. I think there's always been conspiracy

1091
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 14: theories around new iOS updates in terms of like forcing

1092
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 14: people to upgrade to the latest model iPhone. But in

1093
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 14: the past it's been about like slowing down performance or

1094
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 14: less battery life than before. But here is a tangible

1095
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,399
Speaker 14: reason to potentially upgrade, no conspiracy theories required. Yeah, there's

1096
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 14: a lot of features that don't have nothing to do

1097
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 14: with Apple Intelligence that I actually think are useful for

1098
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 14: everyday users. One is the fact that you can customize

1099
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,439
Speaker 14: your control center, for example, the fact that you could

1100
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 14: swipe down and then you decide what shortcuts are and

1101
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 14: which orders or whenever you're actually unlocking your iPhone. Up

1102
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 14: until now it's been flashlight and camera. Now you can

1103
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 14: choose what those are as well, so people aren't locked

1104
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 14: out of new features. When it comes to iOS eighteen,

1105
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 14: it's just the AI stuff that is only reserved for

1106
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 14: the most powerful iPhones. I think to a certain degree

1107
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 14: with Samsung's phone and the Galaxy AI, it feels bolted

1108
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 14: on after the fact, where I think with the iPhone

1109
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 14: and iOS eighteen in particular, it feels very much woven

1110
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,439
Speaker 14: into the system, especially with Siri, and I think that's

1111
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 14: one area where both Google and Samsung in a weird way,

1112
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 14: are going to be catching.

1113
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: Up to Apple.

1114
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: Jason Heiner, editor in chief at zd net, talks about

1115
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: how Apple's new features will save time for users.

1116
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 16: Apple's taking a lot of the things that they could do,

1117
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 16: the ways they can automate things in life, and bringing

1118
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 16: them into the iPhone in ways that are going to

1119
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 16: be really meaningful, I think, to a lot more people

1120
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 16: going forward and so doing things like the demo in

1121
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 16: the in the keynote was talking about somebody going and

1122
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 16: asking what time is my mom's flight?

1123
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 2: Is it delayed?

1124
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 16: You know, and it would instead of having to go

1125
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 16: into a bunch of different apps, Siri then can pull

1126
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 16: that data based on a text message, based on an email,

1127
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 16: based on a flight an app that has the flight.

1128
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 15: Data in it.

1129
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: So doing a lot of things.

1130
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 16: That are going to make so much of the stuff

1131
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 16: that we do on our phones all the time, for

1132
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 16: everybody a lot smoother, a lot more intuitive, and frankly,

1133
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 16: just saving people time and also headaches and saving phone calls,

1134
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 16: saving sorting through messages, all of those things. Anything that

1135
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,919
Speaker 16: this tech can do to do that save people time

1136
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 16: and effort and make things easier is going to be

1137
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 16: a win. And I think there's potentially.

1138
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 15: A lot of those kinds of things.

1139
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that the opportunity to search through your

1140
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 16: photo library is something that is so simple but really powerful.

1141
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 16: We all have photos that are hard to find. The

1142
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 16: idea of just being able to essentially ask questions of

1143
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 16: your photo library and say, find that time that I

1144
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 16: went on vacation, you know, with my aunt to London

1145
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 16: or something like that, and let it just pull all

1146
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 16: of those photos for you, rather than you know, swiping

1147
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 16: around and do it is super powerful. And then even

1148
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 16: the idea of being able to search through a video

1149
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 16: and find a certain point in a video that could

1150
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 16: be really cool too. And again, I think just for

1151
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 16: everyday uses.

1152
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 2: And for all of us, I think it will be

1153
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: really powerful.

1154
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: And finally, Jacqueline Dallas, a YouTuber with the channel nothing

1155
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: but Tech, says she's impressed with the new customization options

1156
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: in iOS.

1157
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 6: I think the interesting part of iOS is that it's

1158
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 6: more customizable now, and that's small, but I think that

1159
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 6: a lot of people that use Android often say that

1160
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 6: iOS is not customizable. So it's nice to see the

1161
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 6: ability to move icons. You can also have the icons

1162
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 6: that color matched. All those small things. Oh and then

1163
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 6: also the tap back notifications are cool. You can now

1164
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 6: customize them, so any emoji. So RCS means a rich

1165
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 6: communication service and it's a more secure version of SMS

1166
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 6: that Google developed, meaning that your images will be encrypted.

1167
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 6: You can send like high resolution ones. And previously Apple

1168
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 6: did not adopt it, so if you had an Android phone,

1169
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 6: everything would suck when you're messaging an iPhone. RCS will

1170
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 6: make it suck a little bit less. I don't think

1171
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 6: it's going to change the cultural stigma though. I think

1172
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 6: what Apple does really well is extreme the fundamentals, and

1173
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 6: so I think if we were like, look at what's

1174
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 6: going to happen with AI and I phone, it will

1175
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 6: just become part of the phone and we won't be like, oh,

1176
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 6: it's AI iPhone, just like the phone does things really well.

1177
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: Isn't that the dream of all computers and mobile devices?

1178
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: We want them to do what we need them to do,

1179
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: and we want to be able to ask them in

1180
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: a very natural language. It sounds like Apple has taken

1181
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: a big step towards that once again. The phone number

1182
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: triple a Rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight

1183
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. If you

1184
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: have a question about technology, give me a call. My

1185
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: name is Rich Demiro and you are listening to Rich

1186
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: on tech. Jerry's in Rancho, Santa Margarita, California. Jerry, you're

1187
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:56,919
Speaker 1: on with Rich.

1188
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 17: Hey, uh, great to hear you again. And I've called

1189
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 17: you before many kinds.

1190
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, We've got to repeat call.

1191
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 3: Here we go.

1192
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 17: Yeah, I've got a weird question. I've been doing some research.

1193
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 17: Back in December, I just got my iPhone fifteen promacs.

1194
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 17: It's been a great phone. But I've been seeing some

1195
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 17: articles about I message and just not loading or crashing constantly.

1196
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 17: And they said that there's a way to turn off

1197
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 17: FaceTime and messages, but sometimes it's even locked where I

1198
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 17: can't even turn off FaceTime or as a fix. Have

1199
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 17: you read or seen any information on the updated iOS

1200
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 17: where the I messages are I just get a blank screen,

1201
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 17: then it crashes and I have to restart the phone

1202
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 17: a couple times. Any info that you might have in

1203
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 17: your bag of tricks.

1204
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I know that there was an issue with I Message

1205
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: when iOS seventeen first came out. It was like a

1206
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: little bit wonky, but I've not heard anything since. And

1207
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: just doing a quick search of the web for I

1208
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Message crashing, I'm not getting any articles that are actually legitimate,

1209
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: like articles. I'm getting a lot of you know, forum

1210
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: posts and Apple discussions and all that kind of stuff

1211
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: that's not really anything that's I mean, look, and this

1212
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: happens a lot on this show and in general. When

1213
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: I get emails from people, they say, hey, Rich, I'm

1214
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: having this problem with my phone and a lot of

1215
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: other people are having the same problem. And I say,

1216
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: what do you mean a lot of other people? And

1217
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: they say, well, I looked up online and I found

1218
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: this forum where everyone's complaining about this problem. Well, yes,

1219
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: because everyone searching Google going to that form that's having

1220
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: that situation and they are posting in that same exact post. Now,

1221
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that it's not happening. In fact, a

1222
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: lot of times when things I call it bubbling up, right, like,

1223
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: these issues will happen and they start on Reddit posts,

1224
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: and they start in forums, and then all of a sudden,

1225
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: it is, you know, a software update or something will

1226
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: address it later on. So I'm not saying that it's

1227
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: not happening, but I guarantee you if you search this

1228
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: you know this issue online, you'll find a million documents

1229
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: that purport to help you figure out how to stop

1230
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: this from happening, when realistically, there's not a way that

1231
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: I know of to just like reset I message altogether.

1232
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: So my best advice, Jerry, would be to do this.

1233
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: If you're having issues, I would go through your I

1234
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: message and I would delete a couple of messages that maybe,

1235
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, maybe just go through and clean up your

1236
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: messages and get rid of some of the either the

1237
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: larger files or you know, I don't know some of

1238
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: the older messages I've got. I've got like thousands of

1239
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: messages in my I message and I don't have any issues.

1240
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: I've never never had a crash in that. So it

1241
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: could be that there's something that was sent to you

1242
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: that could be triggering this. There could be one of

1243
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the messages in the list that just has some weird

1244
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: characters that maybe are causing this. But I'm not really

1245
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: sure on a method to just get this fixed, like instantly,

1246
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: because there's not really a way I know of doing that.

1247
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: You can go through and delete all your messages and

1248
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: start over and restart your phone and see if that helps.

1249
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: But that's the best case scenario I can think of.

1250
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: What is when you're looking online, like, what is the

1251
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: main kind of theme that everyone's saying causes.

1252
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 17: This of replies? And oh, yeah, I had, but it's

1253
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 17: like older articles or older forums. And you're right, but

1254
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 17: I have done what you suggested. When you clicked on

1255
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 17: the top left corner, you can actually get that pop

1256
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 17: up to select messages you wanted to lead. And I've

1257
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 17: done that often on stuff that you know, like blocked

1258
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 17: spam and stuff like that that I have to get

1259
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 17: rid of constantly. But you're right, I think maybe there's

1260
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 17: a couple of extra large text messages that may have

1261
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 17: triggered something like that. And I think that's what I

1262
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 17: saw in an article that sometimes that can happen, and

1263
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 17: you know, and I'm probably it's not a real bad thing,

1264
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 17: but sometimes it's just frustrating when it shows the number

1265
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 17: of unread messages and it says four and it won't load,

1266
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 17: and I get that blank screen and I have to

1267
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 17: just power off and restart the phone about two or

1268
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 17: three times in a row, and then it's fine.

1269
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: That is very frustrating. So I guess what I would

1270
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: do in this case. I'd probably if if I was

1271
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: having like major issues where I had to restart my

1272
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: phone two or three times, I'd probably do two things.

1273
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: Number One, I'd go through and I would just blast.

1274
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: I would just get rid of every message in my

1275
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: I message list. To me, text messages are fleeting, they're ephemeral.

1276
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: You don't need them, like I know some people they're

1277
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,479
Speaker 1: obsessed with keeping their messages forever.

1278
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 2: I don't care if someone's texting me.

1279
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean they're telling me what time of flight lands,

1280
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: they're saying, hey, i'll see there in five minutes. I

1281
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: don't need a record of anything in my text. Like,

1282
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:32,959
Speaker 1: if it's something that I need to keep, I'm gonna

1283
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: keep it. I'm gonna copy it, i'm gonna paste it,

1284
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get an email. So that's what I would

1285
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: do first off, is just delete everything in my messages,

1286
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: if you're okay with that, and then I would go

1287
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: through and I would restart my phone, make sure everything

1288
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: is up to date on the software up page, which

1289
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've already done, and then I would see

1290
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: if it keeps happening. If it keeps happening, then I

1291
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: would probably personally, I would format my phone completely. I

1292
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: know this sounds wild, but if you're trying to you know,

1293
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: if you're telling me you're restarting your phone two or

1294
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: three times in a row, that should not happen with

1295
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: an iPhone, and iPhone is just not that buggy.

1296
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 2: It just isn't.

1297
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: Now, maybe if you're running beta software, that could happen.

1298
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: I assume you're not right, No, okay, So I mean

1299
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: you know that would be the next case. Thing that

1300
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: I would do is personally, I would just wipe my

1301
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 1: entire phone and reset and and kind of put everything

1302
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: back on there one by one instead of restoring it

1303
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: from an iCloud backup. And I'm just looking real quick,

1304
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look into General and there's a there's a

1305
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: reset iPhone functionality, and I'm gonna see if there's something

1306
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: that we can do here.

1307
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 2: Let's see reset all settings. Yeah, there's not like one that.

1308
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not one that like says reset all my

1309
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: messages you could try reset all settings or reset network

1310
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: settings and see if that helps. Maybe it's a network thing.

1311
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, Jerry, those are the two things I would

1312
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: do to see if maybe one of those works. I

1313
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: think if you if you did the nuclear thing where

1314
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: you deleted all your messages, that would probably fix it.

1315
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: And then restart your phone and start fresh, that would

1316
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 1: definitely fix it. I think, as long as you're not

1317
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: restoring it from an iCloud backup. But I feel you,

1318
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: I hear you, and you know, if there's something like

1319
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: that happening on your phone, it is very frustrating. It's

1320
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: just it's not the way it's supposed to be, and

1321
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: so hopefully one of those things works. The other thing

1322
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: I would do, just real quick, is go into your

1323
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: messages and at the upper left hand corner. I'm sure

1324
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: you've done this, but there's a thing called filters, and

1325
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: you can see you've got all messages known senders, unknown

1326
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,640
Speaker 1: senders on read and then recently deleted. You can go

1327
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: into your recently deleted. It will delete these up to

1328
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 1: forty days later after you delete them, but you can

1329
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: go through and manually delete them by just tapping delete all.

1330
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: And I've got I just found four hundred and thirty

1331
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,799
Speaker 1: one messages in there. I'm gonna go ahead and delete

1332
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: that now. I've got a bunch of that stuff that's

1333
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: not taking up storage on my phone anymore. Or an

1334
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: iCloud and I would restart my phone, maybe start there

1335
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:56,879
Speaker 1: and see if that helps. Maybe there's something that deleted

1336
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: folder that you've gotten rid of, but it's still just

1337
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,679
Speaker 1: causing some sort of issue on there. Great call, Jerry,

1338
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: thanks for trusting me to call me again.

1339
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 2: I do appreciate that. So thanks for listening to the show.

1340
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Eighty eight Rich one O one eight eight eight seven

1341

1342
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: the parents on Instagram that can't believe that their kid

1343
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: is turning another age, I.

1344
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 2: Can't believe my kid is turning nine. I can't believe

1345
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 2: my kid's turning ten. We're surprised every year.

1346
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm always surprised that another hour of this show is

1347
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: in the can. We've got another hour coming up right

1348
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 1: after this. My name is Rich Dmiro. You are doing

1349
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: something smart. You're listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome back

1350
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: to Rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with

1351
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: you talking technology at Triple eight. Rich one oh one.

1352
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: That's eighty eight seven four to two four one zero one.

1353
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: Still coming up on the show, I'll talk about Yahoo

1354
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: mal getting a modern makeover, how you can renew your

1355
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: passport online. And uh, it is Father's Day week, so

1356
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,679
Speaker 1: Happy Father's Day to all of the incredible fathers out there,

1357
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: father figures. I also know that this weekend can be

1358
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: difficult for some, so I totally understand that, and I'm

1359
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 1: thinking of you out there as well. I am a dad,

1360
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: I have two kids, and best thing that ever happened

1361
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: to me.

1362
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 2: My kids are incredible.

1363
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: They are challenging, probably just as challenging as I was

1364
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: as a kid, and they keep me on my toes

1365
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: and they're probably a lot smarter than me too. The

1366
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: access to information that my children have compared to what

1367
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: I had when I was a kid, is just truly incredible.

1368
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, if you didn't have the

1369
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 1: answer to a question, where did you go? I mean

1370
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 1: other than the library?

1371
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 3: Right?

1372
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: You asked someone and that person maybe told you what

1373
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: they knew about that topic. And sometimes it was right,

1374
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: sometimes it was wrong. There's a lot of misinformation going

1375
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: on around there. These kids ask Google. Now, they ask

1376
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: Ai and Hopefully they're not asking TikTok because that is

1377
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: just filled with a lot of stuff that they should

1378
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 1: not be listening to. But hope you get some time

1379
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:14,879
Speaker 1: to celebrate with your loved ones this weekend.

1380
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 2: I know I will be doing that and yeah, enjoy.

1381
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about this website that's speaking of dads,

1382
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: So if you want to keep your kids busy during

1383
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: your celebrations, this is a website called dad Can't Draw.

1384
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: This is a website that creates custom coloring book pages

1385
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: for kids based on whatever you type in. It uses

1386
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: AI to generate unique black and white illustrations instantly. This

1387
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: was created by a dad named Josh. He is a

1388
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: self taught developer who initially made this tool for his

1389
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: own kids, but then he has expanded it to everyone.

1390
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: So you get ten free coloring pages that you can

1391
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: generate to try out the service and you can do

1392
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: whatever you want. You can type in. I tried this

1393
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,480
Speaker 1: with all kinds of stuff and it's just fantastic.

1394
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 2: Again.

1395
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 1: The website is dad Can't Draw dot com and it

1396
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: is a fantastic website that helps you create custom coloring

1397
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 1: book pages instantly. So if you're hanging out with the

1398
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: kids this weekend and you want them to make you

1399
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: a picture, Just say whatever you want and the AI

1400
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: will create that illustration. You print it out, the kids

1401
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: can color it in and you can get as creative

1402
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: as you want. This is a game changer. So again

1403
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 1: the website, Dad can't draw dot com. And by the way,

1404
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: grown up in New Jersey, a draw draw. That's what

1405
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: you pulled out of a chest. That I literally grew

1406
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: up my entire childhood thinking what you pulled out of

1407
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: a chest was called a draw And it was only

1408
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 1: when I came to California that I learned it was

1409
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: called a drawer. There are some extra letters in there,

1410
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 1: so I have come a long way. I know I

1411
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: say things a little weird. I know I pronounced button

1412
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of.

1413
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 2: Things very strangely.

1414
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: But if you heard me before I went to college,

1415
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 1: I you, yeah, I said some things really really weird,

1416
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: like Oregon that thank you? Oregon was Oregon?

1417
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1418
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 7: Uh?

1419
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 2: Coffee was coffee? Water was uh water?

1420
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 8: Uh?

1421
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1422
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: It goes on and on one. All right, let's go

1423
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: to Olivia in Huntington Beach, California.

1424
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 2: Olivia. You're on with Rich?

1425
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 18: Hi Rich?

1426
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 12: How are you?

1427
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 2: I am doing fantastic, Welcome to the show.

1428
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 15: Thank you.

1429
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 12: So my question is I have two work from home jobs.

1430
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 18: So each job requires two monitors, So I have four

1431
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 18: monitors total with two keyboards and two mouths. How do

1432
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 18: I seamlessly transition to just using one keyboard and a

1433
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 18: mouse for all.

1434
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: Four What kind of job are you doing? Are you

1435
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: like mission controler you're landing stuff on the or what?

1436
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 12: No, just a one full time gig and like a

1437
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 12: freelancer on call kind of thing for the second launch.

1438
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 12: But sometimes it kind of overlaps my hours. Okay, I'm

1439
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 12: always going back and forth between the two keyboards and

1440
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 12: sometimes I'm like, oh, shoot, this is not the like.

1441
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 7: One and all that.

1442
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So a couple of ways you can do this.

1443
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: There is a device called a KVM switch.

1444
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 2: Have you heard of that?

1445
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 19: No?

1446
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 1: Okay, keyboard video mouse, that's what it stands for. KVM switch,

1447
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: So you can you can get one of those. That's

1448
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:35,640
Speaker 1: a physical switch that you would connect one mouse and

1449
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 1: keyboard to multiple computers.

1450
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 2: So look it up.

1451
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of articles on picking the best one,

1452
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: but that's one way of handling it. It's a switch

1453
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: that you know, it's kind of like anything else. It's

1454
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: just a switch. You put a bunch of the stuff

1455
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: into the back of it and then it streamlines it

1456
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: into the rest of it. So that is one way

1457
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: of doing it. There's also some software programs that you

1458
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: can use. So now I've not tested this, but it

1459
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: there's one for Microsoft Garage called Mouse without Borders and uh,

1460
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: and that's one that you can download and try. And

1461
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 1: this is this is quite old, but you know, I

1462
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 1: don't think mice really have a lot of updates over

1463
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: the years, so it probably still works. Are these Windows

1464
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: or mac computers?

1465
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 9: Uh?

1466
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 12: Both Windows?

1467
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:23,799
Speaker 1: Okay, so this one will probably work Mouse without Borders.

1468
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,759
Speaker 1: That's probably only going to take care of the mouse though,

1469
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: So I think that you want to uh that you

1470
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: probably want something a little more powerful. So there is

1471
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:38,719
Speaker 1: a shareware app called sharemouse dot com share mouse dot

1472
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: com and this software lets you control multiple computers from

1473
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: a single mouse and keyboard. So pretty pretty simple. And

1474
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: it kind of is like a KVM, except it is

1475
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 1: more software based.

1476
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 2: So those are.

1477
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 1: The recommendations I have for you, Olivia. I will link

1478
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 1: them up on the website. Rich on tech dot tv

1479
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: just hit the light bulb icon. But two review if

1480
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: you want to connect you know, a couple different computers

1481
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: to one keyboard and mouse, you can use what's called

1482
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: a KVM so that is a KVM switch.

1483
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 2: You can do that.

1484
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: You can try the app called Microsoft Garage Mouse without Borders,

1485
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: but that's just for the mouse. Or there is a

1486
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: shareware called share mouse or right.

1487
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:23,839
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's shareware. I think you actually

1488
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 2: you might have to pay for this.

1489
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: Let's see demo version allows you to try all features

1490
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: for thirty minutes, and then you'll have to pay. And

1491
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 1: let's see how much is the license. I don't see

1492
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 1: the price, but I'm sure it's reasonable. So and if

1493
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: you've got a couple jobs, you should be able to

1494
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: afford it. Olivia, you're killing it. You're doing you're doing

1495
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:47,600
Speaker 1: great lots of jobs managing all those computers that that

1496
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: takes a lot.

1497
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 2: So thanks for doing that. Appreciate it all, right.

1498
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:53,799
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven

1499
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: four two four to one zero one. Let's go to

1500
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 1: hol and see me Valley. I'm sorry I can't do that.

1501
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: How what's up?

1502
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 19: Hello, Hi, Hi there, I'm so happy to speak with you.

1503
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 19: Here's the problem. For years, I've utilized information from a

1504
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 19: California governmental entity website. The site includes public access detailed information.

1505
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 19: When I was able to use Internet Explorer, I was

1506
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 19: able to copy the information and paste into a word

1507
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 19: document while retaining the information format. Then Internet Explorer was

1508
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 19: replaced by Microsoft Edge after the end of use state

1509
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 19: for Explorer. When I copied and pasted, I would lose

1510
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 19: the right twenty five percent of the formatted information. Still

1511
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 19: able to copy and paste text only and keep all

1512
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 19: the info.

1513
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry say that last part.

1514
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 19: Again, I was still able to copy and paste the

1515
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 19: text only and keep all of the information. I couldn't

1516
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 19: do that with the formatted text. And I tried using

1517
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 19: Chrome as a default browser or Edge is a default browser.

1518
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 19: Didn't make any difference. Multiple times I've tried to contact

1519
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:09,640
Speaker 19: to buy email the governmental entity to determine of a

1520
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 19: problem was at their end, and I've never received the

1521
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 19: respond What.

1522
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: You've never received a response from a government organization.

1523
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 19: Believe me, it's it's not unusual with this governmentality at all.

1524
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 19: I believe them namelessly.

1525
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: Okay, song story short, you are trying to copy and

1526
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: paste this information. It used to copying format in a

1527
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: correct format that that was. You know, whether you pasted it,

1528
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 1: it would it would just look the same as it

1529
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 1: did on the website. Now it no longer looks that way.

1530
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 19: Also edited, and this went on for years until Internet

1531
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 19: Explorer disappeared.

1532
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 2: Okay, so a couple of things.

1533
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 1: So are you're trying to preserve Let's say the font

1534
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 1: is in bold, you're trying to keep that bold. And

1535
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 1: maybe it's in bullet point format, you're trying to keep

1536
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 1: all that right.

1537
01:18:54,840 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 19: It was essentially rows and columns, wow information, and I

1538
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 19: could completely edit it. Oh, I can choose part of it,

1539
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 19: just like any any text in any word doctor.

1540
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 2: And the trouble.

1541
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 19: The trouble is I do reports and recommendations to third parties,

1542
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 19: and they preferred the formatted information rather than the straight text,

1543
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 19: of course, and I met a loss to figure it out.

1544
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:24,799
Speaker 19: I tried copying and pasting as a PDF, which retains

1545
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 19: all the format and information. But then I was the

1546
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 19: capacity to simply edit and incorporate into my reports.

1547
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, okay, So hmmm, uh, I'm sure there is

1548
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: a solution to this. Off the top of my head,

1549
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't have one, but there is something you might

1550
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: be able to do. So what what web browser are

1551
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: you using right now?

1552
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 19: Right now? Chrum?

1553
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 2: I tried.

1554
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 19: I tried microceft edge, figuring it was proprietary, but it

1555
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 19: didn't make any difference.

1556
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wondering if if this. I'm wondering if this

1557
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: is like in like a markdown format or some interesting

1558
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 1: because there might be there's a Okay, what if you

1559
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: go into a document like a Google doc and you

1560
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: try pasting it into their same thing happened? Like does

1561
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: it happen no matter where you paste it into.

1562
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:24,640
Speaker 19: Yeah, no matter what I do, you cannot paste with

1563
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 19: the with the formatting of information without losing the right

1564
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 19: approximate twenty five percent of it.

1565
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So here's I'm gonna do.

1566
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: I want you to email me because I want to

1567
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: check this out, Like, email me the exact website that

1568
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: you're trying to copy from. I'm going to take a

1569
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: look and see the only thing I can think of

1570
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: the there's a couple like solutions. There might be a

1571
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: Chrome extension that would that you can install that would

1572
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: preserve the formatting. So I would start with just searching

1573
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: like Chrome extension preserve formatting and maybe even throw in

1574
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: the term table in there. Right, so that you might

1575
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 1: get for a Chrome extension that can help you preserve

1576
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 1: that formatting across a copy and paste.

1577
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 2: That's the number one thing I would do. Number two.

1578
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: You might, I mean, obviously there's like that whole you know,

1579
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: copy and paste, preserve formatting inside the document. There may

1580
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 1: be some options to preserve the formatting. I know there

1581
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,720
Speaker 1: is on Google Docs where it will preserve some of

1582
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: like the modes that like I just had it the

1583
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 1: other day and I'm trying to find it again. Yeah,

1584
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:33,879
Speaker 1: see this, it's under preferences automatically detect markdown, automatically detect links,

1585
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:36,679
Speaker 1: so it might do. That might be an option too.

1586
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,679
Speaker 1: In word, there might be a thing you could toggle there.

1587
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: The other thing you could do is you might just

1588
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: use AI. So you might just throw this data into

1589
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 1: chat GBT and say, here's the columns I have. Can

1590
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: you format this into a table and then copy and

1591
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 1: paste it from there? So those are a couple of options,

1592
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 1: how but I don't have a standard solution off the

1593
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 1: top of my head, like I said, but hopefully maybe

1594
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,599
Speaker 1: just by mentioning it on this show, we'll get someone

1595
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: that's listening that says, oh, I know exactly, how to

1596
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 1: do that, and they will email me that information. But

1597
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: I also want you to email me the website and

1598
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: the issue so that I can test myself and see

1599
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: what's going on here, because copying paste is not a

1600
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily a standardized thing, especially with mark down,

1601
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: especially with formatting, especially with different programs out there, they

1602
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 1: all do things slightly differently. Thanks for the call, do

Speaker 1: Looks like Jay in Lancaster has a solution for our

1631
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: friend Olivia who needed to connect to multiple computers to

1632
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 1: one mouse and keyboard.

1633
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:52,920
Speaker 2: Jay, welcome to the show. Yeah right, Rich, Hi, what

1634
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:54,719
Speaker 2: do you have to add?

1635
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 7: So I'm running five monitors off of three different computers,

1636
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 7: what do you do? And one keyboard?

1637
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: Are you sending people to Mars? What's happening there at

1638
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: the Jay household?

1639
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 11: Its flight to MARSK. They have running cat on one monitor, okay,

1640
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:13,879
Speaker 11: and then I'm running airport to manage software on the

1641
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 11: second computer and then the rest of myself on the

1642
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 11: third one.

1643
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 2: Nice Okay.

1644
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a separate solution and I've had it running

1645
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 7: for about three years now.

1646
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 3: So what I have is a Logitech.

1647
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 7: M seven twenty mouse, okay, and it has a unifying receiver.

1648
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 7: So you buy the mouse, it comes with one of

1649
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 7: those receivers, just the USB dog that goes in the

1650
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 7: port right, and then you can buy a second, one third,

1651
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 7: one fourth one and put them in a different computers

1652
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 7: and uh, you know the backing. So I just get

1653
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 7: keyboard and you can run your mouse across INDU screen

1654
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 7: up and down across. Because I am stacked. I've got

1655
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 7: two by two and one on the end, so I

1656
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 7: can run them across uptown on the NU screen, I

1657
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,679
Speaker 7: just pull them out across and that becomes active.

1658
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 2: Oh nice, that's that's the.

1659
01:24:58,760 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 3: And keyboard with it.

1660
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 2: It's the se So okay.

1661
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 7: The mouse is like I know, thirty five different receivers.

1662
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 7: I think are can or twelve or something like that.

1663
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: Okay. I believed that.

1664
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 7: They have any even newer mouse like mindspare four years old,

1665
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 7: so I think they have an NX Master. Is there

1666
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 7: maybe more advanced newer one?

1667
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm looking at them seven twenty. They call it

1668
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,759
Speaker 1: the Triathlon because I guess it can control three. It's interesting.

1669
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,879
Speaker 1: I so a couple of things. I bought a Logitech

1670
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: mouse couple of weeks ago. One of those stand up

1671
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 1: mice that like you know, helps with like ergonomics, and

1672
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: it does have the ability to connect to three different

1673
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: computers on the bottom, but on mine, I don't know

1674
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 1: what the deal is, but every time, every so often,

1675
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: it just disconnects from my computer, like I have to

1676
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: read Bluetooth it. So I got the kind without the dongle.

1677
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 1: I know, the dedicated dongle definitely makes the connection more

1678
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: stable over Bluetooth, but anyway, that's one side note. But

1679
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 1: the other thing is that Logitech ended up sending me

1680
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff to test out all of

1681
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 1: their latest stuff, so I guess I'll have more knowledge

1682
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,959
Speaker 1: about this stuff very soon. But Jay, thanks for the suggestion.

1683
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: I'll put it in the show notes. That seems like

1684
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: an easy suggestion. And I'm looking at the bottom and

1685
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: again it's got the bottom of the page on the

1686
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 1: Triathlon mouse has the K seven to eighty multi device

1687
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 1: wireless keyboard as well, one keyboard fully equipped for computer, phone,

1688
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,640
Speaker 1: and tablet. That's interesting, so I think I don't know

1689
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: if they sent that one, but yeah, lots of solutions,

1690
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: and I guess our next guest will actually have some

1691
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: solutions too.

1692
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 2: Matthew S Smith is coming up.

1693
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: He's going to talk about what to look for when

1694
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: buying a computer monitor. You won't want to miss that

Speaker 1: richontech dot TV. Joining me now is Matthew S. Smith,

1699
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:03,599
Speaker 1: a free lance tech journalist who has written about consumer

1700
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:08,120

1701
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,719
Speaker 1: And this is my favorite part. We share a similar

1702
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 1: naming identity his website Matt on tech dot me. I

Speaker 1: the show.

1705
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 15: Thanks very much for having me on.

1706
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 2: I love that we both use the same naming mind.

1707
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's nice to meet a fellow on tech person.

1708
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 3: There you go.

1709
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll start a trend. So let's talk about that.

1710
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 1: You wrote a great article for Advisorator, one of my

1711
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 1: favorite newsletters that I subscribe to. You talked about how

1712
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,440
Speaker 1: to buy a monitor. And I know during the pandemic

1713
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: probably a lot of people set up their offices and

1714
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: things like that, but this is still something that you know,

1715
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 1: with work from home, people are still doing, and there's

1716
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 1: a lot of monitors out there, So let's let's start

1717
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: with kind of just give me the the overall kind

1718
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,600
Speaker 1: of like when you're looking for a monitor, you know,

1719
01:27:58,640 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: what are you looking for?

1720
01:27:59,400 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 7: Do you?

1721
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 2: Let's start with screen size. I guess okay, starting.

1722
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 15: With screen size, my general recommendation is to do a

1723
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 15: twenty seven inch monitor because it is a very common

1724
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:15,600
Speaker 15: size and it is a readily available it'll fit on

1725
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 15: most desks. Also, if you want to upgrade in the

1726
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 15: future and do say a dual monitor setup to twenty

1727
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 15: seven inch, monitors will still be a reasonable size. Or

1728
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 15: if you decide to add a larger monitor in the future,

1729
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 15: like a thirty two inch or something like that, you

1730
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 15: can also do that twenty seven inch monitor next to it,

1731
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 15: or even in a portrait orientation where you flip it

1732
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:40,719
Speaker 15: ninety degrees and kind of have a sort of more

1733
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 15: vertical space by your larger monitor. So it's just very

1734
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 15: versatile and again also very common, so they're typically not

1735
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:51,520
Speaker 15: too expensive.

1736
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 1: Okay, And then you say thirty two for gaming, and

1737
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 1: then avoid twenty four inches unless your space is limited.

1738
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:00,080
Speaker 1: What about the resolution, let's talk about resolution.

1739
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:05,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, I recommend for most people to go four K resolution.

1740
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: It is more.

1741
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 15: Expensive than the basic ten ADP monitors, but four K

1742
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:16,640
Speaker 15: is a very noticeable boost in sharpness, especially on a

1743
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 15: twenty seven inch or larger monitor, And it also sort

1744
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 15: of gives you a little future proofing. And I figure

1745
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 15: most monitors are going to be lasting a pretty long time.

1746
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,639
Speaker 15: I don't think people tend to replace them very often,

1747
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 15: So it's best to try and get sort of at

1748
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 15: the top of the curve on features. And four K

1749
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 15: is definitely.

1750
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:36,280
Speaker 1: That TENADP that's just going to look that's not going

1751
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 1: to look very good.

1752
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 2: Huh. And you're still noticing all day oh on.

1753
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 15: A twenty seven inch monitor, and if you go twenty

1754
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 15: four inches, even more passable, but you are going to

1755
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 15: notice a difference with four K it looks much sharper.

1756
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

1757
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 1: Now, the panel type, so, I mean probably a lot

1758
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 1: of people think, you know LED, that's like an LED screen, right,

1759
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: So but what types of panels should we be looking for?

1760
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's where it gets really interesting because up until

1761
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:08,599
Speaker 15: recently you didn't have a whole lot of meaningful choice,

1762
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 15: but now there are new O LED panels that are

1763
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:15,640
Speaker 15: a premium panel type which have really good contrast and

1764
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 15: really good color. They are, however, quite expensive, but if

1765
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 15: you want a premium monitor or a really really nice

1766
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 15: image quality, that is one way to go. Another alternative

1767
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 15: is Mini LED, which is technically a backlight more than

1768
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,640
Speaker 15: a panel type, but it provides really good HDR in

1769
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 15: most cases and tends to have a very clear, crisp image.

1770
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:38,680
Speaker 15: Now that again is a premium option, So if you're

1771
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 15: looking for more affordable stuff, you're going to want to

1772
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 15: go with an IPS panel, which tends to have really

1773
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 15: good color performance. The contrast is not as good as

1774
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 15: some of those more premium options, but still tends to

1775
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:52,640
Speaker 15: look quite good. And then another one of the VA panel,

1776
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 15: which tends to also have pretty decent contrast in color,

1777
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 15: but if you're doing gaming high end gaming, the motion

1778
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:04,040
Speaker 15: clear sometimes not quite as good as similar IPS panels.

1779
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:07,600
Speaker 1: Now, I know, the ultra wide screens are kind of

1780
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 1: like the new trend I see Mat Worsk. You know,

1781
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 1: we just talked about the Apple Vision Pro. They added

1782
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:14,920
Speaker 1: an option for like a really cool like ultra wide

1783
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,600
Speaker 1: screen and virtual reality, which is really neat. What do

1784
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: you recommend when it comes to the wide versus ultra wide?

1785
01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 15: I'm a big fan of ultra wide monitors, and thirty

1786
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 15: four inch ultra wide monitors are not really that expensive.

1787
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:32,679
Speaker 15: You can find decent ones at three the four hundred

1788
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 15: bucks on Amazon, and what you're going to get from

1789
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,560
Speaker 15: that is basically I've run the numbers on it. I

1790
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:40,040
Speaker 15: think it's about a twenty five to thirty percent increase

1791
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 15: in the amount of display real estate versus a twenty

1792
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 15: seven inch wide screen monitor, So you basically just get

1793
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:50,120
Speaker 15: some more room bumped out to the side to multitask

1794
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:53,160
Speaker 15: to put different windows up on your desktop, or if

1795
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 15: you want to play games, it's going to look more immersive.

1796
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:58,920
Speaker 15: If you want to watch movies and they're in that

1797
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,639
Speaker 15: twenty one by nine ass ratio or something similar, you're

1798
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:04,120
Speaker 15: not going to have black bars at the bottom or

1799
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 15: on the sides. So there are a lot of advantages

1800
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 15: to that format and I really do recommend it. You

1801
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 15: can also if you want to spend some more money,

1802
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 15: you can go with a forty nine inch super ultra

1803
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:17,040
Speaker 15: wide or something of that nature where you have a

1804
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:18,680
Speaker 15: whole and in fact, I have one of those in

1805
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 15: front of you right now because I do to review

1806
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 15: a bit and you just to have this gigantic expanse

1807
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:27,360
Speaker 15: of display in front of you, and that's a really

1808
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 15: nice option. They do tend to be expensive, expect to

1809
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,880
Speaker 15: pay around one thousand dollars or more. However, for the

1810
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 15: amount of display space you get, it's not necessarily a

1811
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 15: bad value. You can compare it to say, two twenty

1812
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 15: seven inch monitors of similar quality.

1813
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Well, now, taking the newfound knowledge you just taught me,

1814
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:47,879
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Google thirty four inch ultra wide monitor

1815
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 1: LG two hundred and forty bucks with that IPS, which

1816
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,719
Speaker 1: you just recommended, So that doesn't sound like a bad deal.

1817
01:32:55,280 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 1: I'm so embarrassed because I have a thirteen inch MacBook screen.

1818
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 1: I went from the sixteen inch, and I'm telling you

1819
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,479
Speaker 1: is just that three inch difference makes a huge difference

1820
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 1: because I used to have stuff on the side, kind

1821
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 1: of like a messaging app on the side panel, like

1822
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:12,760
Speaker 1: on you know, on the side of my screen, and

1823
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: now I miss like all like Kim is our call

1824
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,640
Speaker 1: screener and she's been texting me the whole show, and

1825
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:19,680
Speaker 1: I miss all of that because it's like behind all

1826
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:20,640
Speaker 1: my windows.

1827
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 2: So I say, the benefit of.

1828
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 1: The more screen real estate that you can tuck little

1829
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 1: things into the corners like your music and your texting

1830
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So anyway, let's see what other

1831
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 1: considerations should we be thinking about when it comes to monitors.

1832
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 15: Well, one thing that I especially if you're looking at

1833
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 15: a more budget minded monitor, is to make sure that

1834
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:46,360
Speaker 15: you get a ergonomic stand with the monitor. This is

1835
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 15: pretty common. You don't have to spend a lot of

1836
01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 15: money to get it. But what I mean is you

1837
01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:54,839
Speaker 15: want to have height adjustment, tilt adjustment, and swibbl adjustment,

1838
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 15: and the height adjustment in particular is the thing that

1839
01:33:57,200 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 15: the really cheap, inexpensive monitors are going to not have,

1840
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:06,160
Speaker 15: and that tends to be a problem because then when

1841
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:09,799
Speaker 15: you put on your desk, unless you are just naturally

1842
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 15: the ideal hype for that monitor, that's where you get

1843
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 15: to the situation where you have to like start stacking

1844
01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,920
Speaker 15: up books or you need to go buy one of

1845
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:22,639
Speaker 15: those fifty dollars sort of desk cutch things that sort

1846
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:26,719
Speaker 15: of elevate your monitor. It's usually not ideal, and again

1847
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 15: you don't have to spend much more to get the stand.

1848
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 15: It's usually one hundred and fifty dollars. On up, you

1849
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 15: can start to find monitors that have it, so I

1850
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 15: really recommend looking for that. Another thing to lug out

1851
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 15: for is USB connectivity. Okay, a lot of monitors have

1852
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 15: USB connectivity. Some of them even now have USBC connectivity

1853
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 15: where you can plug in a laptop, which I think

1854
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 15: is what most people use these days. And if your

1855
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 15: laptop has USBC and that monitor has USBC and has

1856
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:58,599
Speaker 15: something called power delivery, the monitor can charge the laptop,

1857
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:01,559
Speaker 15: so you may not even need to plug it in

1858
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 15: to another external power source. Really cleans up on the wire,

1859
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:09,519
Speaker 15: cut the wire clutter on your desk, right, It really

1860
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 15: makes everything a lot more seamless. Also just makes it

1861
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 15: easier to sit down and connect your laptop whenever you

1862
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:18,120
Speaker 15: want to. And so that's definitely something to look out

1863
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:20,400
Speaker 15: for if you know, if you're someone who doesn't like

1864
01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 15: to have a lot of wires around your desk.

1865
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:22,960
Speaker 2: I love it.

1866
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 1: Okay, you've got some specific recommendations. I'll link those up

1867
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:33,280
Speaker 1: through the article Dell Asus, Phillips alienware. But just real quick,

1868
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:36,920
Speaker 1: we've got about a minute left. External speakers and the webcam.

1869
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: Do I look for one that has the speakers in

1870
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 1: webcam built in or what?

1871
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 15: Right? I recommend skipping on that and the main reason.

1872
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 15: There's two reasons. One is I have reviewed some monitors

1873
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 15: that have these features. In general, I find they are

1874
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 15: not as good as when they are external, So it's

1875
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,720
Speaker 15: kind of you'll probably have a webcam that's not as

1876
01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:59,599
Speaker 15: good as it could be, speakers that are not as

1877
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:02,919
Speaker 15: good as it could be. And then also the price difference.

1878
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 15: I find that for the amount that you spend extra

1879
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 15: on the monitor to get those features, you could easily

1880
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 15: buy a better set of external speakers in webcam. So

1881
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 15: generally it's better to keep them separate. Also, if when

1882
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 15: goes bad for some reason, you can just replace it.

1883
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 15: Only reason I would recommend doing that having them integrate

1884
01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:24,280
Speaker 15: is again, if you just really hate wire clutter on

1885
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:27,120
Speaker 15: your desk and you want the most seamless setup possible,

1886
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 15: then maybe it could make sense, But otherwise I probably

1887
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 15: wouldn't go that direction.

1888
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna leave it there. Matthew S. Smith,

1889
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 1: freelance tech journalist. The website matt on tech dot me

1890
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 1: dot me matt on tech dot me.

1891
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:43,120
Speaker 2: Thanks so much.

1892
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 1: I learned a lot, so I'm sure someone else did

1893
01:36:45,640 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: as well.

1894
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, I hope everyone is ready to go buy their

1895
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 15: monitor now.

1896
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 1: I know you got me excited. Thanks so much for

1897
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 1: joining me on the show today. Really appreciate it. Now

1898
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:57,679
Speaker 1: I need that ultra wide thirty four inch IPS monitor.

1899
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I will never miss a message Trump

1900
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:02,679
Speaker 2: Kim again, I mark my words. All right?

1901
01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to do the feedback segment.

1902
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:08,680
Speaker 1: That is where we will talk about your comments and

1903
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:11,760
Speaker 1: your questions email to me right here on the show.

1904
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 2: My name is richdmiro. You are listening to Rich on Tech.

1905
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk a few more stories before we get to

1906
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 1: the feedback segment. First off, Yahoo email is getting a

1907
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:31,240
Speaker 1: modern makeover with you guessed it AI powered features. Everything

1908
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 1: is getting a dose of AI.

1909
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 2: This actually looks pretty good.

1910
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: This is their most significant update to their email on

1911
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 1: the desktop in nearly a decade. Why did it take

1912
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:45,120
Speaker 1: you so long? Yahoo Email? I think this company's bounced

1913
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:47,599
Speaker 1: around a little bit. But the new design is clean,

1914
01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 1: it's more intuitive. It's got this new priority inbox tab

1915
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: which automatically highlights your most important messages, and it's kind

1916
01:37:55,120 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: of neat. It provides AI generated summaries of your messages.

1917
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:00,479
Speaker 1: So if someone sends you a super long message and

1918
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 1: it's got like ten questions in there, that you're supposed

1919
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,839
Speaker 1: to answer, but they're all kind of mixed in between things.

1920
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:07,439
Speaker 1: It will pull those out and say like, here's the

1921
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 1: things you need to answer from this email, So that's

1922
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 1: really smart. They've also got these things where you can

1923
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 1: take action on your email. So if there's like a

1924
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 1: packaged tracking number that's in there, or something you can

1925
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:21,360
Speaker 1: add to your calendar, it creates a button that you

1926
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 1: can just press and put that in your calendar or

1927
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:27,560
Speaker 1: track that package. There is a starred view. This is

1928
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 1: something that Gmail has had forever. But now you can

1929
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 1: start your most important emails and you can look at

1930
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:36,560
Speaker 1: them later, and you can link other email accounts. So

1931
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 1: I guess Yahoo thinks their system is so good now

1932
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 1: you might want to use it for other email accounts

1933
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 1: like an Outlook account or a Gmail account. You can

1934
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 1: put those in there as well, and I think that

1935
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 1: means you can have multiple emails in one place as well.

1936
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:55,520
Speaker 1: The new desktop experience coming to all new US users instantly.

1937
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 1: Existing users will be able to opt in over the

1938
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 1: coming months. Interesting move there, but there you go. And

1939
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 1: then if you need to renew your passport, you can

1940
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 1: do it online. The State Department has relaunched their online

1941
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:13,640
Speaker 1: passport renewal service. This is limited, it's in beta, but

1942
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 1: you can do this so a limited number of travelers

1943
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 1: who meet certain criteria can renew or submit their passport

1944
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:21,880
Speaker 1: for renewal daily.

1945
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 2: The system opens.

1946
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,280
Speaker 1: Up at ten am Eastern, which I think is one

1947
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:29,840
Speaker 1: pm Pacific every day for a couple of people to

1948
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:33,799
Speaker 1: be able to submit their information. It's open to residents

1949
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:36,759
Speaker 1: twenty five and older who already have a passport that's

1950
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: been a ten year passport. You cannot change any of

1951
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 1: your personal information, you can't be traveling internationally for at

1952
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 1: least at least eight weeks, and you can only apply

1953
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:46,880
Speaker 1: for a regular passport.

1954
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 2: This was first announced in twenty twenty one.

1955
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:52,639
Speaker 1: It was paused in twenty twenty three for improvements, and

1956
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:55,400
Speaker 1: it sounds like the state Department has gotten back from

1957
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 1: their backlog from the pandemic. So routine applications now take

1958
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 1: six to eight weeks. Expedited services take two to three weeks.

1959
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: I know we got our kids passports renewed. It did

1960
01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: take about the peak time of like eight weeks, but

1961
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: it did work all right. Let's get to the feedback.

1962
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 1: That's your feedback plus the mail bag. These are the emails,

1963
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 1: the comments, and the questions I get from you.

1964
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 2: If you want to submit yours, just go to the website.

1965
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot tv hit contact got an email

1966
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:30,680
Speaker 1: that's asking about this DJI drone ban, and this was

1967
01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 1: news to me. I didn't realize that there was a

1968
01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:37,640
Speaker 1: bill percolating about these drones. Inside this bill, there's a

1969
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: small part that stops the drone company out of China

1970
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:45,800
Speaker 1: from using certain radio frequencies. This would make it hard

1971
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:47,960
Speaker 1: for DGI to sell new drones in the US, and

1972
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 1: could even stop people from using the DJI drones they

1973
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 1: already own. Nothing has changed as of right now, so

1974
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,360
Speaker 1: don't be alarmed. You can still use your DGI drone,

1975
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:58,160
Speaker 1: which is all I mean. They're noticed some of the

1976
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 1: best drones out there. The bill needs to pass the

1977
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:03,240
Speaker 1: Senate and then be signed by the President before it

1978
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:07,000
Speaker 1: becomes law. If it does become a law, DJI and

1979
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:09,400
Speaker 1: even the public might try to challenge it in court

1980
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 1: because those drones are very popular, and it's surprising to

1981
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: me that they are trying to ban those.

1982
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 2: But we've seen that happen before. Let's see.

1983
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:21,839
Speaker 1: Mary writes in Rich, would you be able to research

1984
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:24,680
Speaker 1: watches that monitor blood sugar. I would really appreciate it. It

1985
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 1: would help a lot of folks with diabetes. Thank you, Mary,

1986
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:31,120
Speaker 1: one of your fans. Mary, there is no smart watch

1987
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:34,280
Speaker 1: that can directly monitor blood sugar levels. The FDA has

1988
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:39,559
Speaker 1: issued a safety communication advising against using any smart watch

1989
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:44,759
Speaker 1: or smart wing, smart ring to measure blood glucose levels. However,

1990
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 1: if you get that dex Com G seven last week,

1991
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 1: I mentioned that it does directly connect to the Apple Watch,

1992
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:55,639
Speaker 1: so that's your best bet right now. But there's an

1993
01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:58,760
Speaker 1: FDA warning that says do not buy a watch or

1994
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:02,360
Speaker 1: ring that says it can monitor your blood glue close directly.

1995
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 2: It cannot do that.

1996
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,960
Speaker 1: There is no technology right now that's been approved in

1997
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 1: a big way that can do that. It might exist,

1998
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:10,120
Speaker 1: but right now I know a lot of companies are

1999
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 1: working on that because that's kind of the holy grail

2000
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 1: for people living with diabetes. Thanks for the question, Mary

01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:20,559
Speaker 2: I appreciate the information.

2004
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:23,160

2010
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:41,280

2011
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: thing to know is that it does not get assigned

2012
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 1: a traditional phone number. Anyone who wants to communicate with

2013

2014
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 1: believe has to communicate through an app, but it does

2015
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:55,240
Speaker 1: have its own cellular connection and it works really well.

2016
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 1: My kid absolutely loves it. So fitbit ace lte. It's

2017
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:02,240

2030
01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, so just be careful with that one.

2031

Speaker 1: problem with her computer and one of your callers had

2037
