1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Apple reveals new products including the latest iPhones, and yes,

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: I was there, the way that MGM got hacked and

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: how you can avoid the exact same fate, the new

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: scam that involves your local sports games, plus your tech

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: questions answered. What's going on on Rich Demiro and this

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: is Rich on Tech broadcasting live from Los Angeles, coast

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: to coast. This is the show where I talk about

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: the tech stuff I think you should know about and

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: the place where I answer your questions about technology. After all,

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: I believe that tech should be interesting, useful and fun

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: and it shouldn't trick you. Phone lines are now open.

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: Here we go triple A Rich one oh one. That's

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: If you have a question about technology, give me a call,

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: or you can also email me. Just go to Rich

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,480

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: It goes right to me. I will mention some of

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: those on the show today and also in the feedback segment.

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: If you have something you want to tell me, you like,

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: something you don't like, something you just want to chime in,

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: give me an email. Guests this week on the show,

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Lisa at A Chico of Cnet. Lisa tests a lot

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: of mobile phones. I met up with her at the

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: Apple event. We talked about the new iPhones, all that

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: good stuff. So Lisa will be joining us a little

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: bit later. And a good friend of mine, Mark Saltzman,

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: USA Today columnist. You might have seen this guy on

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: the TVs at Costco at one point. He's everywhere. Mark

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: Saltzman will be talking about the new iPhones as well,

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: and he says something that he's got a hot take

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: about iPhone versus androids, So you definitely want to stay

32
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: tuned for that. Well, this week, there is only one

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 1: thing in the news, and that is the Apple event.

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: New iPhones, new Apple Watches, what else, oh, new AirPods

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: And the big, big news on all of these devices

36
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: is that Apple has finally followed the ways of the

37
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: rest of the world and gone USBC. It has been

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: a long time coming, and they did not do this

39
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: out of the kindness of their heart. As much as

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: many of you love Apple, and you know, I like

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: certain aspects of this company, they didn't just choose to

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: go USBC. They would have stuck with their own proprietary

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: stuff forever if it wasn't for the European Union saying

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: Apple or pretty much everyone, you gotta go USBC. It's

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: better for the environment, it's better for people, it's better

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: for the consumers to just have one cable that works

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: on every device. Now, over the years, in just my

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: short history of covering tech, let's see, we have had USBA,

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: we have had USBC, we have had micro usb B,

50
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: we have had lightning, we have had thirty pin connectors,

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: we have had barrel connectors, we have had oh my gosh.

52
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: Back in the day before USB happened on computers, there

53
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: were all kinds of different ports and things to plug

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: stuff in. I mean, it was just you never knew

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: you got a new printer, you had to plug it

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: in with some sort of weird cable. Nowadays, thankfully everything's USB.

57
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: We have really taken that for granted, and this is

58
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: probably going to be a temporary thing for Apple. I

59
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: feel like they're moving towards a wireless future for the

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: iPhone and it's just a matter of time before they

61
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: do away with that cable altogether. I mean, realistically, we're

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: not even transferring data with these cables anymore unless you

63
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: need to. Most of the time, people are either plugging

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: in their phones just to charge them, or at this

65
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: point you're just wirelessly charging. And even the cars, you know,

66
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: it's all wireless car play, it's wireless Android auto, more

67
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: and more less of a reason to plug in these phones.

68
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: So what's new about the iPhone fifteen, Well, break it down.

69
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: You've got the iPhone fifteen and fifteen plus. These are

70
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: pretty much the base model iPhones they get. Yet last

71
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: year's Pro model features Dynamic Island. That's that little pill

72
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: shaped bubble up at the top where the cameras lie

73
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: on the front facing of the phone. They've made that

74
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: into a little infotainment space so it shows things like,

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, what you're currently playing, if you've got a timer,

76
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: things like that. So last year that was new on

77
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: the iPhone fourteen pros. Now it's come to the iPhone

78
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: fifteen base models. Forty eight megapixel camera. This is the

79
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: first time we've seen a forty eight megapixel camera on

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: the base model iPhones, so that's new, and they take

81
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: photos by default at twenty four megapixels, so you're getting

82
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: a much much higher resolution picture and theoretically much better

83
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: camera quality. Crash detection already on there, Satellite connectivity already

84
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: on there from or actually that's coming to there as

85
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: well with triple A. So if you have one of

86
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: these phones, Apple really leaning heavily into the sort of

87
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: it's going to protect you in the worst case scenario situation.

88
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: The things they did not bring to these base level

89
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: iPhones no high refresh rate on the screen, so the

90
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Pro models have one hundred and twenty hrtz refresh rate.

91
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: I know this gets a little nerdy, but basically, when

92
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: you are moving and swiping through the phone, everything's just

93
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: buttery smooth on the Pro models. Not so much on

94
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: the iPhone fifteen and fifteen plus, although if you're not

95
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: used to that, you probably don't even notice that. But

96
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: if you're in a family that has a Pro model

97
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: of the iPhone and a regular model and you switch

98
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: between them, oh yeah, you definitely notice. Let's see, Oh,

99
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: portrait mode is also AI now, so you know how

100
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: you have to switch to portrait mode if you want

101
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: to take one of those pictures with the blurry backgrounds,

102
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: You no longer have to do that. You literally just

103
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: aim your camera at a person or a pet. AI says, oh,

104
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: we're going to collect extra information about this picture so

105
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: you can later make the background blurry. That's kind of cool.

106
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: The screen is twice as bright. The other thing they

107
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: did not ring is always on, always on display, not

108
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: coming to the base model iPhones. Always on display is

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: probably one of the handiest features of the iPhone on

110
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: the Pro models. That's sticking to the pros. Prices start

111
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: at eight hundred bucks nine hundred dollars for the Plus models,

112
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: and there's still no telephoto lens on this device, so

113
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: you get an ultra wide and a standard but because

114
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: it's a higher megapixel camera, they can crop it to

115
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: two times, so it's almost like a real zoom lens,

116
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: but without an extra lens. So that's the iPhone fifteen.

117
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Now for the Pro and the Promax, these are the

118
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: more interesting of the models because this is where Apple

119
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: has decided to really put out all of their best

120
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: features on these devices. So the Pro models have this

121
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: new titanium frame design which makes them lighter, and yes,

122
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: I've held them, they are definitely noticeably lighter. They're also

123
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: very smudgye on the sides. They also have this new

124
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: action button, so instead of that little switch that lets

125
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: you switch between mute and on mute, mute and Ringer

126
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: that is now a customizable button, which is really really handy.

127
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: You can customize it to do nine different things, everything

128
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: from starting a voice recording, starting the camera. You can

129
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: also just leave it on Ringer silent mode. But the

130
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: thing that's really interesting is that you can now set

131
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: this to do a shortcut, and that means it's pretty

132
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: much unlimited. It's a button that could be yours. You

133
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: can make it do whatever you do. Most on this phone,

134
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: you can set that as a shortcut, and that's a

135
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: rarity for Apple to let you set any sort of

136
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: thing your way. They barely do that on the iPhone.

137
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: It's their ware the highway most of the time. But

138
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: now the fact that you can customize this action button

139
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: with shortcuts, that is a huge pro move and one

140
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: that I applaud Apple for. Now here's where it's not

141
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: so nice. The cameras are diverged yet again. So if

142
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: you're going the Pro and the Pro Max, the Pro

143
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: has a three time zoom. The Promax gets a five

144
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: time zoom, and so if you want the most zoom

145
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: on an iPhone, you have to go with the Promax.

146
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: And it's nice. No, it's no Android ten x zoom

147
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: that they have on the S twenty three Ultra. But

148
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: it's a nice start and for iPhone users, again, I'm

149
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: not going to compare what Samsung is doing to the

150
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: iPhone because they are just in totally separate motes. At

151
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: this point. You're either iPhone or you're Android, and yes,

152
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: you can compare and contrast, but the reality is, if

153
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: you're an iPhone person, you're probably deep into Apple's ecosystem

154
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: and you're not considering switching anytime soon. So five time

155
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: zoom if you used to have three is really nice.

156
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: USBC as well on here is also faster, so you're

157
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: getting a faster USBC data transfer twenty up to twenty

158
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: times faster than lightning. And what's that good for? If

159
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: you're shooting like big giant video files or raw video files,

160
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: the stuff that pros are doing on this phone, it's

161
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit easier to transfer to

162
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: your computer. You can also set the default focal length

163
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: twenty four millimeters, twenty eight millimeters, or thirty five. Again

164
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: that gets a little nerdy, little pro but again, these

165
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: are all things that if you are a pro iPhone user,

166
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: they're really good. They're really good updates, and you're going

167
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: to be very happy with these updates. Later on, the

168
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: phone is going to get a software update that's going

169
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: to get it let it shoot video in three D.

170
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: They call it spatial video. And that's all getting it

171
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: prepped for that new headset that Apple's going to have

172
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: next year. Now here's where Apple did something a little

173
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: bit questionable. The prices are unchanged from last year. The

174
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Pro starts at nine to ninety nine. The Pro Max

175
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: now starts at eleven hundred and ninety nine, and last

176
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: year technically it started at eleven ten ninety nine, So

177
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: technically the price is one hundred dollars more expensive, but

178
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: you're getting two hundred and fifty six gigabytes of storage

179
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: on that eleven hundred and ninety nine model. They no

180
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: longer have a one to twenty eight gigabyte model on

181
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: the Promax. So needless to say, yes, the price is

182
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: the same as last year, but there's not a cheaper

183
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: option this year, so it starts at a more expensive price.

184
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: So semantics there for sure. But and this comes in

185
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: a couple of different colors blue, black, white, and titanium.

186
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: I think the natural titanium is a way to go

187
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: this year. It's a nice natural color, and you're probably

188
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna put a case on it. I may go caseless

189
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: this year, just because I don't know. I'm just feeling

190
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: like I might. And this is a really lightweight phone,

191
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: so it's very easy to manipulate in your hand. So

192
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: that is the update from Apple on the iPhone fifteen

193
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: and fifteen Pro and the iPhone fifteen and fifteen Plus

194
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: available in stores on September twenty second, already available for

195
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: pre order. Some of you listening may have already pre ordered,

196
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: and so you already have your ship date and all

197
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: that good stuff. But I will say, just to kind

198
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: of top this off, we are going to talk about

199
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Apple a lot throughout this show. Probably gonna be a

200
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: lot of questions from you about these new iPhones and

201
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: these new Apple devices. Plus our guest are going to

202
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: talk about him, so we will go through that, plus

203
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: much much more on the show. Coming up, we're going

204
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: to talk about the way that MGM got hacked and

205
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: hopefully you can avoid the same scam we've got our guests,

206
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: uh and producer Adam actually has a story to tell

207
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: about how someone very close to him fell for a scam.

208
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: Something that you are getting in your email on a

209
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: daily basis, and so he's going to explain exactly how

210
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: his family member fell for that scam. And it is

211
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: quite scary because it can happen to anyone. But first

212
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: it is your turn. Give me a call triple eight

213

Speaker 1: d'miro and you are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome

217
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out

218
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: with you, talking technology and so much to talk about

219
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: this week. Anytime Apple does an event, it's I mean

220
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: it's fun to go. I mean, obviously I went up there.

221
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: It's you know, two days of just madness. There's a

222
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: just a who's who of everyone in the tech world

223
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: is up there in Coopertino, and it's fun. It's like

224
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: it's like part homecoming. You see all your friends, you

225
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: see all the people that you know from YouTube and

226
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: from around the world. I mean there's there's tech people

227
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: from every corner of the earth that fly to Coopertino.

228
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: And by the way, with only about two weeks heads up,

229
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: Apple sends out invitations for their events just about ten

230
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: days before, so they keep everyone guessing. And this year

231
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: there was really not a lot of surprises. But the

232
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: fact that we got the USBC on the iPhone that

233
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: we've been wanting is a big deal. I think that

234
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: that's going to be great for just streamlining gadgets because

235
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: now pretty much every modern gadget uses USBC. And so

236
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: it's going to take a while because people are not

237
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: going to switch overnight. They're not going to all get

238
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: the new iPhone. But as time goes on, things will

239
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: get fits out. It will be easier to pack, it

240
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: will get easier to you know, you're in the back

241
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: of a taxi and you need to charge your phone.

242
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: It's no longer a do you have an iPhone or

243
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: an Android cable. It's just one cable. You're in a

244
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: hotel room, you want to plug into something, and it's

245
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: just one cable. So it's kind of like just the

246
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: way that things should be. And I get why Apple

247
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: didn't change it earlier because they had a good thing going.

248
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: They've got the Lightnings. It was their proprietary cable. They

249
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: made a lot of money on it. But now that

250
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: it's USBC, it's going to be a lot better, and

251
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: I'll talk about some of the other products too that

252
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: they announced, including the Apple Watch Series nine, the Apple

253
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: Watch Ultra, and the air Pods. Plus I'll have some

254
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: guests to talk about that as well. Let's go to

255
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: the phones. Let's go to Dominic and Coasta Mesa. Dominic.

256
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

257
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: Hey, Rich, I got a quick question. I don't know

258
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: if any some of my friends are having this problem too.

259
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: I have an iPhone thirteen and when I go to Instagram,

260
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 2: you know, you go to your stories and you put

261
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: a song over your stories on Instagram.

262
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: Sure, and it comes up for.

263
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: A second, like it goes on where you can hear it,

264
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: and you're like, okay, down, great, I'm gonna post it.

265
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: And then you go back and it says song unavailable.

266
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: And that's happening, I think to a lot of people

267
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: right now. And I went on YouTube and try to

268
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: google it, and they said, and I didn't do it yet,

269
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: like go and start stop your Instagram or close I

270
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: don't know, is it close it or restarted?

271
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: Maybe forced close it?

272
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: Maybe?

273
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: Well here's the deal, so I have now. Did this

274
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: used to work?

275
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

276
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: No, it did work then, And I don't know if

277
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: it had to do something with them last iPhone.

278
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, all I know is that Apple.

279
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: Since the last iPhone update, my iPhone has been going nuts.

280
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: And it's it's really really kind of like, I'm not

281
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: one of those conspiracy theory people, like, I'm not like, oh,

282
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Apple's messing up the phone, so I upgrade. But at

283
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: this point, I'm really feeling that because my phone, I'm

284
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: not kidding, yesterday it was nearly unusable. The battery has

285
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: crawled to a like it's just you charge it overnight,

286
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: you wake up, it's a one hundred percent and ten

287
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: minutes later it's at eighty five percent. After I I check,

288
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of apps. And so here's my

289
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: thought on this whole Instagram thing. I have seen this happen.

290
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: I get so many emails from people specifically about music

291
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: on Instagram stories. It seems to be all over the place. Now.

292
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: Instagram is one of these apps that is updated very

293
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: very frequently, Like I'm talking on a weekly if not

294
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: sometimes twice a week basis. So there's always a change

295
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: happening on Instagram. And I have heard about music issues

296
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: on Instagram for a very long time. I have not

297
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: found a rhyme or reason to why these things happen

298
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: on Instagram. It seems to do with a software update.

299
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: It seems to be different people's models of iPhones, different

300
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: software that it's running. Just you know, they're doing this fast,

301
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: and so I think that they're not one hundred percent

302
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: testing it on every model, and sometimes things break when

303
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: they push out an update. So my advice dominic is

304
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: to number one. If you want to try to get

305
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: this working again on install Instagram, turn off your phone,

306
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: restart it. You can ask Siri, Hey, restart my phone,

307
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: restart it, reinstall Instagram. You should come back up with

308
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: the app. You may not even have to log in again,

309
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: and then see if it works that way. If it's

310
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: not working, I would just keep an eye on the

311
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: app updates, which you can check out by opening up

312
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: the app store, and you can do tap your profile

313
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: in the upper right hand corner you pull down from

314
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: the center of the screen, and then you can check

315
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: your app updates. If you have an update for Instagram,

316
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: run that update and see if that helps. But quite honestly,

317
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: I think this just falls into a matter of time

318
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: where it will be fixed if it continues to happen

319
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: after a long period of time, then there's definitely something wrong.

320
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: But I just tested it on my phone. It works,

321
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: so the feature is not broken on a worldwide basis,

322
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: but it could just be something that's related to your

323
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: personal setup. Thanks for the call today, Dominic and Costa Mesa.

324
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: Triple eight Rich one O one eight eight eight seven

Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Give me a

326
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: call if you have a question about technology. More Rich

327
00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: on tech right after this Triple eight Rich one O

328

Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

329

330
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: Rich Hi.

331
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 5: Rich, thanks for taking Mike call.

332
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 3: Sure.

333
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm a Google user and I.

334
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 6: Use a search on Google a lot.

335
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 5: And it came back with no wanting to know if

336
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 5: I want to sign up for a generative AI experience

337
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 5: in search and that the interactions are saved in my

338
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 5: activity even if web and app activity is not enabled

339
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 5: stores up to twenty four hours.

340
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 7: Blah blah blah.

341
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 5: You know, I know there's no such thing as privacy,

342
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 5: but is this making it even worse or would this

343
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 5: be a fun thing?

344
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: Well, first off, the Genera of AI is basically Google's

345
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: answer to chat GPT, so Google, okay, you know they've

346
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: leaned heavily into AI, but it's very confusing because they

347
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: have it in so many different places across their products.

348
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: So what you're talking about generative search is once you

349
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: say yes to that, a new search result will appear

350
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: above your search results. So if you search for, you know,

351
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: best places, all right, let's just say, let's just say

352
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: the Beatles. Like I was mentioning the Beatles history. So

353
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: if I search for that and I've got this enabled,

354
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'll see all of the little snippets and

355
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: results that Google typically offers up, but at the top,

356
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: I get a generative AI summary about the Beatles, and

357
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't have to click through a whole bunch of websites.

358
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: It literally writes almost a report like you would if

359
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: you were in school about the Beatles. And you can

360
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: do this across any topic. It's handy for shopping and

361
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: so I will tell you it is incredible and I

362
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: would recommend turning it on. So if you want to

363
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: turn this on and you're on Google, it's open to

364
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: everyone at this point, just go to labs dot Google.

365
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: So if you go to labs, I know it's weird

366
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: that there's no dot com. If you go to Labs

367
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: dot Google, it will bring up what's called Google's latest Experiments,

368
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 1: And there's a whole bunch of different experiments you can do.

369
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: And so I would turn on the one that is SGE,

370
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: which is the search with generative AI. So that's again

371
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: Labs dot Google and SGE is the one that will

372
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: get you these new results I'm talking about, and I

373
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: think they're very handy. That's one. Now, the second place

374
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: you can go is barred B A R D dot

375
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: Google dot com and that's another opt in. Now, to

376
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: answer your question, Jamie, is this less private than other things?

377
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: And the answer is yes. So if you look at

378
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: bard now, when you search anything on Google, it's going

379
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: into a database. Now, whether or not they save that

380
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: information and link it to your account as a different

381
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: is a different question. But what they're saying is when

382
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: you sign up for this, there are different rules about

383
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: the searches because this is an experiment and they're trying

384
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: to teach their AI what people search, what they click on,

385
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: what they read, how the AI responded. So in this case,

386
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: it is a little bit different than your typical searching

387
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: on Google. And so yeah, you do give up a

388
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: little bit more, and I would be a little bit

389
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: cautious about putting any personal personal information into these AI

390
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: search engines. And that's across the board with any of them,

391
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: not just Google. So if you look at Google's barred,

392
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: it says a big bold thing on my screen right

393
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: now says human reviewers may process your barred conversations for

394
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: quality purposes. Don't enter sensitive information, and you can click

395
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: learn more and will tell you all about the privacy

396
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: policies of this whole situation. But I'm glad that you

397
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: picked up on that. I'm glad that you're noticing this.

398
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: And I think that this generative search is really handy.

399
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: I think that it's been incredible in fact, on your iPhone.

400
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: If you want to see this stuff as well, download

401
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: the Google app and it will put this stuff at

402
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: the top of your results on the iPhone as well,

403
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: And it's really really handy. So I say, go for it,

404
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: but just know Jamie that you want to be careful

405
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: with the information that you're putting in there. And also

406
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: just the fact that, yeah, there may be a human

407
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: that is reviewing what's going on, because they're still teaching

408
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: these systems and you can see if you go to

409
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: SGE privacy, it will tell you. Let's see Google SGE.

410
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: I got to find out where the privacy policy is,

411
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: so I will put that link as well on the

412
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: show notes so you can see exactly what's happening with that.

413
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: Good question. Good question, Jamie and Corona. Glad you're checking

414
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: that stuff out. So I'm sure you've heard about this

415
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: whole MGM casino hack. I'm not going to rehash everything

416
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: that happened, but you know, as a cyber attack disrupted

417
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: the hotel, casino and website operations for a long time.

418
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: The hackers claim to steal and encrypt some of the

419
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: MGM data. They demanded ransom payments, and reports say that

420
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: MGM fell to what's called vishing, not phishing, But this

421
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: is vishing, a convincing phone call impersonation. Vishing is a

422
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: type of attack. It's a type of phishing attack, but

423
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: the name stems from voice and phishing. So basically, the

424
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: scammers pretend to be someone, often a legitimate business, and

425
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: trick you into giving up your private information or access

426
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: to your bank accounts. A lot of times this happens

427
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: in the real world, not just to big companies, But

428
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: it happens to you and I when you click a

429
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: link on either social media or an email or something

430
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: pops up on your screen and says, hey, call this

431
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: number to fix a problem. And the technician that's actually

432
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: answering the phone is a total scam artist. And this

433
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: happens with phone calls that you get. This happens with

434
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: emails that you get, a lot of emails that we've

435
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: gotten recently. It may say, hey, confirming your subscription payment

436
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: to Norton Anti Virus or Spies geek Squad. It's a

437
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety eight dollars. We'll be charging your

438
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: card on file in the next three days. Oh, if

439
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: you didn't want this, just call this number and we'll

440
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: fix it up and we'll make sure it does you

441
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: don't get charged. But when you call that number, that's

442
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: when this scam happens. Hey, producer Adamy there, I'm here, rich,

443
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: How you doing this? I'm doing great, but I'm angry

444
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: because this happens a lot. And I know that this

445
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: happens to smart people. You had someone in your family

446
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: recently fall for a scam to this degree.

447
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, my dear sweet mother who's seventy one years

448
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 8: old and not very tech literate, but she does learn

449
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 8: a lot from you from listening, but apparently not enough,

450
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 8: because I awoke to a text message a few days

451
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 8: ago from her saying I got an email from Norton

452
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 8: LifeLock saying I've been charged four hundred and ninety nine

453
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 8: dollars and they gave me a number to call, and I.

454
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 9: Keep calling, but it's busy. Uh help, That's what it said.

455
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 8: Because I always tell her, before you do anything with

456
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 8: these emails, run it by me.

457
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 9: And I'll let you know.

458
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: Don't call numbers and emails ever. You know, I don't

459
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: click links.

460
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 9: I slept.

461
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 8: I had my phone on airplane mode for you tech

462
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 8: heads out there, oh wow. And when I right when

463
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 8: I took it off, when I woke up, I saw

464
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 8: this text. So I immediately call her, and she's not answering.

465
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 8: It's going to voicemail. So I'm imagining she's on the

466
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 8: other line because she doesn't even really know how to

467
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 8: switch over if you're getting another call, yeah you, So

468
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 8: in my mind, she's given out all her information set

469
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 8: on the phone while I'm on the other line. But

470
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 8: eventually I get through to her and what had happened

471
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 8: was in the email there was a number to call

472
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 8: that said, if this four hundred and ninety nine dollars

473
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 8: charge has been made an error, call this number and

474
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 8: we'll refund it.

475
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 9: So she called the.

476
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: Number, thinking she's doing something right, like, oh, let me

477
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: clear this up.

478
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 8: And she finally gets through and the guy. The guy

479
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 8: convinces her to download a remote screen sharing program and

480
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 8: proceeds to guide her to her online banking page. But

481
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 8: oh my god, here's the beauty of it, though rich

482
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 8: she is so tech unsavvy that she doesn't do online banking,

483
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 8: but doesn't even know that. So this guy was like

484
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 8: telling her go to you know, who's your bank, Okay,

485
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 8: go to the website.

486
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: Wow.

487
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 8: But she couldn't get in, and so he said, here,

488
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 8: call your bank, and he wrote a script on the

489
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 8: note after he took control of her computer. He wrote

490
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 8: a script on the note pad.

491
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, which I saw because I looked at

492
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: her computer, and it said like, hello, my name is Baba,

493
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: and here's what I'd like to do, like giving her

494
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: the step by step directions on how to.

495
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 8: I'm having problems getting into my online can you help me?

496
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 8: And she actually called her bank and said all this

497
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 8: and they said, you don't have online banking, and uh,

498
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 8: she hung up and then I got through. So the

499
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 8: real bummer was that also on the note notes app,

500
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 8: he had put like a form that I imagine they

501
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 8: used that was just all your information, please fill this out,

502
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 8: so name, address, last four of the sosh birthdate, and

503
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 8: she filled it out. So luckily, once I learned of this,

504
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 8: we immediately took action. Everything's been frozen and stuff. But man,

505
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 8: like you say, she is, she's not, you know, a

506
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 8: dumb person. But I grilled and asked her what the

507
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 8: deal was and it was like why she never thought

508
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 8: this was fake?

509
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 9: And there were three main elements.

510
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,239
Speaker 8: One was the high amount really freaked her out, and

511
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 8: then there was something that said like if you want

512
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 8: this refund, it's got to be within twenty four hours, right,

513
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 8: so that was really effective.

514
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: There's also it's there's always a time element, you know,

515
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: like where they're pressuring you to do something fast.

516
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, so the high amount coupled with the time crunch.

517
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 8: And also she'd been messing around on her Windows laptop

518
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 8: and saw a Norton pop up like a week prior,

519
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 8: and she's kind of paranoid about accidentally signing up for

520
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 8: Norton because of those famed pop ups that.

521
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 9: We all get.

522
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 8: So she thought, oh, I did this by accident, and

523
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 8: she talked to this guy and gave it all up.

524
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 9: But I don't think she's going to do it again.

525
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: So what do we learn from this? This this whole

526
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: situation number, And it's scary when it happens to someone

527
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: close to you. I'm looking at an email I got

Speaker 1: Is that legal? I got a tealment. I guess they're

537
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: on the radio. Okay, So don't fall for this stuff.

538
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: It happens. It's out there. It's happening on a daily basis.

539
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. It knows no bounds. You can

540
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: be a very smart person and have this happen to you,

541
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: because these scam artists are spending the entire day, their

542
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: entire lives are social engineering ways to get you to

543
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: fall for this stuff. They use the things that we

544
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: know and they trick us with those. And look at

545
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: if MGM Casino, If an employee at MGM Casino can

546
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: fall for this and take down the entire operation of

547
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: a multi billion dollar corporation, why do you think your

548
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: company puts that little message on your emails that says

549
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: this is from an outside person, not in your organization

550
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: because it's that scary to them. They know that they

551
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: are just one step away from an employee giving away

552
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: a two factor authentication code or getting into the VPN

553
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: or whatever they're doing to get this this hack to happen.

554
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: And they know it's scary these companies. This is why

555
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: you have to go through those training situations and those

556

Speaker 10: Quick Questions. So we've been having kind of trouble sleeping

569
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 10: my life and I and someone suggested earbuds you know

570
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 10: that go in the air that can help, you know,

571
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 10: maybe soothing music or not your podcast, but I.

572
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: Like yours, but one that it may put you to sleep.

573
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 10: Who knows, no, No, I love your show, so any suggestions,

574
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 10: I know both used to make them not anymore. You know,

575
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 10: there's so many online. I was just figured maybe you guys.

576
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: Have experience with it or something, so I I okay.

577
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: So it's funny. When I was little, I used to

578
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: sleep with like a radio under my pillow. I mean

579
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people did. And I you know,

580
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm from New Jersey, So I used to listen to

581
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: Z one hundred, probably a show that was a little

582
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: bit it was like a love lines kind of show.

583
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 3: You know.

584
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: They were answering questions about stuff that when I was young,

585
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: it was very interesting to hear about. Anyway, that's what

586
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: I would fall asleep to, but that was with like

587
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: a little kind of radio under my pillow. So there's

588
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: a couple of ways you can do this. You can

589
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: do I've seen all kinds of different things, and you're right.

590
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: So Bo's had a pair of sleep buds that were

591
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: really really popular. For some reason, they discontinued them. The

592
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: odd thing about the Bo's ones is that they don't

593
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: actually play music. They just play like sort of like

594
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: a white noise kind of thing. But the good news

595
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: is some Bo's employees have started up a company called

596
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: Oslo Ozlo and they're bringing back very similar sleep buds

597
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: with very similar technology. So if you want to check

598
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: out those ozlosleep dot com now. And what I was

599
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: going to say to complete my thought is that I

600
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: can't have something in my ears when I sleep. Some

601
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: people can, some people can't. So there's different types of

602
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: these buds out there. Some of them actually fit in

603
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: your ears. Some of them are soft, and you know

604
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: they're comfortable when you're sleeping. I don't find that to

605
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: be very comfortable, but I'm just giving you some options here.

606
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: So There's a pillow you can get called Solely sol

607
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: I and this is a sleep headphone pillow, and so

608
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: you can sleep, you know, on your side, you can

609
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: sleep on your back in different positions, and this pillow

610
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: kind of wraps around your head and you can put

611
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: the music into the pillow via bluetooth or wired. It

612
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: just depends you know how much you want to pay.

613
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: And all these things, by the way, are not cheap.

614
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to get a cheap pair

615
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: of your buds that you can sleep in, sure you

616
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: can search Amazon. And the top one is these sleep

617
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: band headphones. Those are about twenty dollars. They've got forty

618
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: eight thousand reviews. That's probably where i'd start, just to

619
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: see if that's something that you would like. This is

620
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: a brand called Perry Tong p e r Y Tong,

621
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: not a brand that you've heard of, but it's the

622
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: overall pick on Amazon. If you just want something cheap

623
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: and simple and easy. It's kind of like a headband

624
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 1: with bluetooth. And so that's that's something you can use

625
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: as well. The other thing, the other recommendation comes from

626
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: my friends at Wirecutter Lauren Dragon over there, she tests

627
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: all the headphones and earbuds, and she likes these Soundcore

628
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: by Anchor, And if you've heard of Anchor, a lot

629
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: of the tech people like this brand. They make a

630
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of charging stuff and their brand for audio is

631
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: called Soundcore. They make what's called the Sleep A ten

632
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: Bluetooth Sleep earbuds, and again there are a hundred bucks.

633
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: They're not cheap, they go in your ears. They don't

634
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: look comfortable to me. I haven't tested them, but I

635
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: guess a lot of people sleep. And then they have

636
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: high ratings. But those are another option, and so they

637
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: look a lot like the Bows earbuds that I was

638
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: talking about. So those are a couple of options for you.

639
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: If you want something that's just wired, I'm sure you

640
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: can just type in Sleep earbuds on Amazon. And with

641
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: Amazon they've done a pretty good job now of showing

642
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: you what's sort of the best mix of highest ratings,

643
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: the least returns, and the cheapest price. So the overall pick.

644
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: There are the Sleep earbuds that are just twenty bucks. Again,

645
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: they don't look comfortable to me, but you know, if

646
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: you're trying to sleep and you're trying to have something

647
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: that's in your ears, these are some of the options

648
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: that you can do. So I gave you a pillow,

649
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: the bows and the soundcore. Oh the other one other

650
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: thing another one hundred dollars. Sleep band Acoustic sheep is

651
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: another one that Wirecutter recommends. But again it's a band.

652
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: It goes over your head, but it's a hundred bucks.

653
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: Of course people like that. The ratings are not that

654
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: high on that one, so maybe I would skip that.

655
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: But of course you can put a little speaker under

656
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: your pillow as well. That's another option of how to

657
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: get that audio. But or you can just use your

658
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: phone next to your bet. I've done that in the past.

659
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: Just turn your phone on, put on some sleep or

660
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, podcasts, whatever you want, and there you go.

661
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: All right, Jeff in New York, thanks for the question.

662
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven

663
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one and sure, fall

664
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: asleep to my show, fall asleep to the podcast version

665
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: you are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to

666
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,

667
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: talking technology, talking scams, talking how to avoid scams. Plus

668
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: we're talking Apple. Lots of new Apple products, many people

669
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: pre ordering there were some issues. You would think that Apple,

670
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: such a big company, would have pre orders down by

671
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: this point, but apparently people still had issues with pre

672
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: orders early in the morning. You know you're gonna get

673
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: the phone eventually. You don't need to necessarily be there

674
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: the second, you know whatever, it's exciting. I know, I know,

675
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: I know. All right, let me give you a couple

676
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: of takeaways. A couple other things they mentioned at the event.

677
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven

678
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: four to two, four to one zero one is the

679
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: phone number if you want to hop on the line

680
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: chime in. You got a question about technology, you want

681
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: to ask me about a product, you need an app recommendation, anything,

682
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Just give me a call Triple eight rich one on

683
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four two four one zero one.

684
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: I do these things on my Facebook page. Ask me anything,

685
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: and it's like the questions come in fast and furious,

686
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: and then I always end it with hey, by the way,

687
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: call me on the radio show there too. Apple Watch

688
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: nine is the new version of the Apple Watch. And

689
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: the big thing about this Apple Watch is that it

690
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: is believe it's Apples like first carbon neutral product, which

691
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: is a pretty big deal, and it's going to get

692
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: this new feature called double tap, and you can check

693
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: it out on my Instagram at rich on Tech. It's

694
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: pretty cool feature. It lets you tap the main button

695
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: on the screen just by tapping your two fingers together.

696
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: So if you want to start a phone call, end

697
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: a phone call, start a stop watch, whatever you want

698
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: to do, that's the main button on the screen, play pause, whatever,

699
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: You just tap your two fingers together. And it's using

700
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: the blood vessels. It's actually looking at the veins in

701
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: your wrist. It's looking for the constriction of the blood

702
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: to figure that out. And that's all made possible apparently

703
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: by the new processor inside the S nine sip chip.

704
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: And they said that it's really good at monitoring all

705
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: day long, and so it's got the power to do that,

706
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: and so it's a kind of a neat new feature.

707
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: Only available on the Apple Watch nine and the Apple

708
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: Watch Ultra two. It's not coming to the previous Apple

709
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: watches apparently. Let's see they also have this new Oh,

710
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: Apple ditched. Apple ditched leather completely as a company, no

711
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: more leather. They said, we're done with it. We're gonna

712
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: be carbon neutral by twenty thirty, so we're not doing

713
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: leather anymore. So their new material is called fine Woven.

714
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: And I played with this material. It's definitely does not

715
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: feel leathery. It feels more like almost like a swede

716
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: or like some sort of like almost like the you know,

717
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: like when you unvelcrow something like that backside of the

718
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: velcrode almost feels like that, not the part that's like

719
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: the plastic gee part, the other side, like the felty part.

720
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: So that's the new material. It's called fine Woven. And

721
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: I asked them if it was like waterproof, because it

722
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: was you know, fake or you know, synthetic or whatever.

723
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: It is recycled, and they're like no, so I guess, yeah,

724
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. Apple Watch Series nine starts at three

725
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: hundred ninety nine dollars. The se starts at two hundred

726
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. Those will be available on September twenty second.

727
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: Not a lot of new features. The screen is brighter

728
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: on that the battery stays the same. They've got a

729
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: new thing called smart Stack, which is like a way

730
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: to look through all of your notifications and things like

731
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: important upcoming calendar events on there. Then you've got the

732
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: Apple Watch Ultra too. This is their you know, their

733
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: top of the line Apple Watch. Again, it's got that

734
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: new chip, it's got that double tap feature, it's got

735
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: a three thousand knit display which is fifty percent brighter

736
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: than the original, so it's much much brighter. It can

737
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: also it's got a expanded altitude rain so it can

738
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: go from negative five hundred to nine thousand meters and

739
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: still I guess function properly. Let's see what else, eight

740
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Still, the price is the same, The battery

741
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: life is the same, thirty six hours or seventy two

742
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: on low power. And it's a good look and watch.

743
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: I you know, the Ultra is really like, you know,

744
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: if you want if you're kind of like the sports enthusiast,

745
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: the hiking enthusiast, the biking enthusiasts, you need your battery

746
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: to last a long time because you're using a lot

747
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: of GPS tracking on this device. That's the watch to get.

748
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: So a couple more announcements. Let's see AirPods Pro two.

749
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: These now have USBC so it's the same exact AirPods

750
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: except they've got USBC charging on the case. Now, can

751
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: you just take your old air pods two? Your AirPods

752
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: Pro two and put them in a new charging case. No,

753
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: you cannot. Apple's not selling the case separately in typical

754
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: Apple fashion. Now there is a workaround, but I don't

755
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: know if it would work, because you can file like

756
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: a warranty claim and say you lost your case and

757
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: maybe they'd send you the USBC. But I'm not sure.

758
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: So the other thing is they've got this new adaptive

759
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: Audio mode, which I did have a chance to check out.

760
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 1: It's quite incredible. So it mixes noise cancelation, it mixes

761
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: understanding if someone's trying to talk to you, it mixes

762
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: it makes the audio louder or softer, depending on your surroundings.

763
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: And it's really really good. It's using AI. So the

764
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: bottom line is with these new AirPods Pro too, there's

765
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: no more putting them in and taking them out. You

766
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: can pretty much leave them in all day long if

767
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: you so desire, and this adaptive audio mode will just

768
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: change the sound that you're hearing to adapt to whatever

769
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: you're trying to do. If you're listening to music and

770
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: all of a sudden things get louder outside, it's going

771
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: to bring the volume up. If you're listening to music

772
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: and things get softer outside. You walk into a quiet park,

773
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna bring the volume down a little bit so

774
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: your ears aren't blown out. If you're trying to talk

775
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: to someone and you start talking to them, it will

776
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: adaptive so you can hear them. I mean, it's really

777
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: really impressive what they did, and I did a full

778
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: demo of that and it was great. Two hundred and

779
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: fifty dollars, still the same price. They also have a

780
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: new USBC EarPods, which is a wired version of ear pods.

781
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: Those are nineteen bucks. Lots and lots of options. Lisa

782
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: at a Chico from c net will be breaking down

783
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: some of her thoughts on these new Apple products very soon.

784
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Steve in Orange. Steve, you

785
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: got a story about how you got scammed?

786
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 7: I did get scammed this week this week. Yeah, I'm

787
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 7: looking at the scammer right now. He's online on my

788
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 7: Facebook messenger. Oh wow, I'm not talking to him. But

789
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 7: I've been doing computers since the eighties, and I started

790
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 7: a business doing computers, and pretty much now my clients

791
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 7: are all their seniors in eighties and nineties, so I've

792
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 7: seen it all long. Yeah, this particular one is an

793
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 7: offshoot of the Facebook stuff. I don't do social media,

794
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 7: so I'm not that smart, so maybe you can some.

795
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 3: Of this in.

796
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 7: But what I what it appears to have happened, is

797
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 7: someone cloned a Facebook account. They didn't do anything with that.

798
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 7: They went to Facebook Messenger, jumped into one of the

799
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 7: groups that I'm a member of, and then threw up.

800
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 7: It was like ten thirty nights they used to throw up,

801
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 7: Hey I got a new laptop today. I don't need

802
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 7: my old one. If anyone needs it, I'm happy to

803
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 7: give it away from you. It was coming from somebody

804
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 7: in a Facebook group that I'm a member of, and

805
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 7: because I'm a member of that, it also had a

806
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 7: couple of names of my friends that are on my

807
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 7: Facebook that are also members of that particular group. It

808
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 7: appears to me the person the scammer was reaching out

809
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 7: in a public way, not an individual way, and just

810
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 7: throwing out, hey, if you need a new laptop, I've

811
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 7: got one. I'm gonna get you know, get rid of it.

812
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 7: So I typed in, yeah, I could use an Apple,

813
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 7: you know, I can use the MacBook. Sure, And then

814
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 7: he he wrote back, and he waited like an hour,

815
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 7: and he said wrote back and he said, yeah, okay,

816
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 7: you can have it. Just give me I'm going to

817
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 7: look at the FedEx. Give me your ads, and i'll

818
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 7: tell you what the shipping's going to be.

819
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: So we did that.

820
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 7: He said forty five dollars and I said great. So

821
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 7: I was pretty sure it was a scam, but I

822
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 7: was playing along with having fun. I wanted to learn.

823
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 7: And then the next morning I wake up and he says,

824
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 7: I'm at FedEx and there's a picture in the Facebook Messenger.

825
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 7: By the way, have you seen scams with specifically Facebook Messenger?

826
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 7: Is that a normal thing?

827
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

828
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: Yes, Facebook Messenger scams are all over the place. I mean,

829
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,439
Speaker 1: this is why, this is why people like to hack

830
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: Facebook accounts, because then they can pose on the account

831
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: like it's a real person. Because if they just set

832
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: up a fake account, Facebook figures it out very quickly.

833
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: But if they take over someone's account, you know that

834
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,479
Speaker 1: has some history, it's much more authentic to the Facebook server.

835
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, so okay, so we got the he got

836
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: the picture, and what happens.

837
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 7: So he just said, I need some sixty five dollars

838
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,919
Speaker 7: for sales tax and they want insurance. And I said, well,

839
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 7: I don't want insurance, and there's no sales tax when

840
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 7: you shift something, so I said, and he goes, uh,

841
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 7: And I tried calling him. I hit the little messenger

842
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 7: phone thing and it rang one time, and then he says,

843
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 7: I'm driving, and then uh, I can't talk to you.

844
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 7: And then I wrote back. I said, well, I'm not

845
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 7: going to send you more money until I talked to

846
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 7: you on the phone. And then he wrote back, oh really,

847
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 7: that's what you just said. Oh really, and then I

848
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 7: said yes really, So that pretty much ended it. I

849
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 7: didn't carry it farther than that. I called PayPal and

850
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 7: they gave me my money back, which is, you know,

851
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:22,959
Speaker 7: shout up to them. That was great.

852
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: Wait, so you paypaled this person money?

853
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 10: I did.

854
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 7: I pay pal him the forty five dollars, even pretty

855
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 7: much knowing it was a scam.

856
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: I will just want to see you were learning.

857
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 6: Yeah.

858
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, I don't do social media. I know about Facebook scams.

859
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 7: I didn't know about the messenger part in a in

860
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 7: a group, so I don't think he was targeting me.

861
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 7: I think he targeted probably five a lot.

862
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 10: Yeah.

863
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 7: I just say it was interesting. It was just very

864
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 7: new to me. And so anyway, and I called PayPal

865
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 7: and they got into and the person that that was

866
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 7: on this list, my friend that knows the friend that

867
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 7: this person's representing. I talked to him and he says,

868
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 7: guys a great and we chatted about that. But that

869
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 7: was after the scam. So and I don't know that

870
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 7: the person who owned the Facebook account. I mean, I

871
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 7: don't know what you do once you've been cloned. But

872
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 7: right now the hacker is still on the messenger with me,

873
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 7: and I could.

874
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 11: Talk to him.

875
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 7: But in any event, it was very elaborate. If you

876
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 7: did go into the room and then throw it out

877
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 7: to people, I would think the moderator would just pull

878
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 7: it off immediately. But in any event, yeah, I got

879
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 7: my money back and he was literally his mistake, in

880
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 7: my opinion, was trying to get.

881
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 3: More money, right, and they got greedy, Yeah.

882
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 7: Got greedy. So I just thought that was interesting and

883
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 7: people might well, I heard you guys talking about scams,

884
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 7: and I thought that people out that I might want

885
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 7: to know about this Facebook messenger.

886
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: Wow, that's wild. Thanks for the call, Steve, appreciate it.

887
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: Really just these scam artists will will know no limits

888
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: to how they figure out these things. And again there.

889
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: This is why they like to hack Facebook accounts, because

890
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: then they can pose as a trusted friend or someone

891
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: that you know. In fact. I and it's funny that

892
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: Steve said that he he was engaging with someone. I'm

893
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: engaging with someone right now on Instagram who is pretending

894
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: to be someone I know. And so he's like, hey, Rich,

895
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: how you doing.

896
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 3: I said, oh, good to see you.

897
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: Oh my, I missed you at the last Apple event,

898
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: which I know he wasn't there. And he's like, I'm like,

899
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: what's new with you? And I mentioned his job and

900
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: all this stuff's and he's sitting there, you know, chatting

901
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: back and forth, and I'm kind of, you know, seeing

902
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: what the endgame is. And already I got one where

903
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: he said, hey, I'm dabbling more into the digital.

904
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 3: Space, especially crypto.

905
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing really well with my portfolio of seven hundred

906
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I wanted to ask if you've looked at

907
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: that side of things. I said, oh, yeah, I'm very interested.

908
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: Because now, of course he's going to try to get

909
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: me down this crypto thing where he gets me to

910
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: buy some crypto. Maybe I hand over my account numbers

911
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, so we'll see where it goes.

912
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: I do not recommend that you engage with these people

913
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: because it can get out of control, it can get

914
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 1: out of hand, and it's probably just not a good idea.

915
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: I'm doing it just to learn and like kind of

916
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: Steve did it just to benefit ourselves and benefit my knowledge.

917
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: But in general, do not answer the phone for these people.

918
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: Do not click on links in the email, do not

919
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: respond to the text messages. The more that you do

920
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: this stuff, and the more you respond and engage them,

921
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: the more that they will stick their friends on you

922
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: because they know they've got a live one, and so

Speaker 1: Oh and it's going to renew once September sixteenth. So

954
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: we've been getting a lot to talk about scams in

955
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: this show. It is just wild how many of these

956
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: things are happening out there. But if you want to

957
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: go to my Instagram and see some of the stuff

958
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: that I've been posting. I've got a lot from the

959
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: Apple event, including what the new USBC looks like when

960
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,959
Speaker 1: you plug it into the iPhone, kind of a joke

961
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: that I posted that people are like, really, it looks

962
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: like plugging in anything. I know, that's kind of my point.

963
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: And then I've got hands on with the new iPhone fifteen,

964
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: the fifteen Pro. I've got the different colors of the iPhone.

965
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: I've got pictures from the Apple event. I've got the

966
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: double tap feature. I've got oh, this is kind of fun. Actually,

967
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: I posted yesterday a Starbucks deal in the app. And

968
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: then this this is wild. This glass that you can

969
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: put on your iPhone. The guy takes a hammer to it.

970
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: It's a small hammer, and then he takes a giant

971
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: hammer and it's the glass is just fine, Like that's

972
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: a screen protector I want. But of course if you

973
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: drop it probably would be you know, all over the place,

974
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: and speaking of scams. By the way, a good website.

975

00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: gift cards and the different things that they scam you with.

979
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, we're going to talk to

980
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: Lisa at a Chico of Cnet about some of the

981
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: new Apple products. First, let's go to Sarah in Ventura. Sarah,

982
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

983
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 12: Hi. Yeah, I was telling the call steamer that I

984
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 12: was Okay, I was on a website or website. I

985
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 12: downloaded the YouTube this is them to your home screen

986
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 12: and then it appears on the screen and then you

987
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 12: just tap it and then it goes to that website.

988
00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 12: Is that a bookmark?

989
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like yeah, it's a homescreen book mark.

990
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 12: Okay, it's like that.

991
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 6: Okay.

992
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 12: So I collected a bunch of YouTube ones and then

993
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 12: I was losing it and then it disappeared and I

994
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 12: tapped undo, and then it kept disappearing on a few

995
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 12: of them, and then the undo wouldn't work. So then

996
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 12: I went to downloads on pictures. I had and I

997
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 12: just went down the row clicking them, and as I did,

998
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:28,959
Speaker 12: they were all disappearing.

999
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: What kind of tablet is this?

1000
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 3: Or what kind of device fan Sung tablet okay.

1001
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: And so things are just generally not working on it.

1002
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 12: Well, they they disappeared, the downloads. I mean, I went

1003
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 12: down the row and I'm like, oh, that disappeared. And

1004
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 12: I picked on the next picture, it disappeared.

1005
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: I put on that what app were using for the pictures?

1006
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 12: It was just downloads?

1007
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe they got disappeared.

1008
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 12: And and one was a PDF. They were different different so.

1009
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: It's all in the It sounds like the downloads got deleted.

1010
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: If you ask me, I think that they were still

1011
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: listed in the files, but they got deleted. If I

1012
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: were you, I would restart this. I would run any

1013
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 1: software updates on it, both in the system software updates

1014
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: and also in the app store. Make sure everything is

1015
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: up to date, and then you're probably gonna have to

1016
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: re download these links again if they went away. There's

1017
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: also a way you can lock down your home screen

1018
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: on Samsung devices in the home screen settings so that

1019
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: you can't mistakenly change it. This is rich on Tech.

1020
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here on

1021
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: location in Cooper, Tino. We just got out of the

1022
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: big wonder Lust event here at Apple Park, and joining

1023
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 1: me now to talk about it all is Lisa at A,

1024
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: Chico senior editor at c NEET. Lisa, you cover a

1025
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: lot of phones and different gadgets.

1026
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 3: What did you make of today's event?

1027
00:51:58,480 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely so.

1028
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 14: I think what really stood out to me about today's

1029
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 14: event is the big focus Apple.

1030
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 13: Is putting on the iPhone Pro.

1031
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 14: We saw a lot of the biggest changes have arrived

1032
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 14: on the Pro rather than the regular iPhone fifteen, but

1033
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 14: also a lot of features that we saw on last

1034
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 14: year's iPhone fourteen Pro.

1035
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 13: Are now on the regular iPhone fifteen.

1036
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 14: So that just kind of shows how Apple kind of

1037
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 14: uses the Pro as a kind of as a way

1038
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 14: to kind of showcase new technologies before they've become more

1039
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 14: widely available on other phones.

1040
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 13: So that was interesting.

1041
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 14: And then I also thought the new Apple Watch updates

1042
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 14: were interesting as well.

1043
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: So it's interesting the ultra kind of moniker because we've

1044
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: seen this with Samsung. They typically did that with the

1045
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: Note before they brought features to the regular of s series,

1046
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: and then even with Apple, the Pro Max has always

1047
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: been kind of a way for them to do this,

1048
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: but now they're doing it even more. And then, of

1049
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: course now we have the Apple Watch Ultra. So why

1050
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: do you think they're doing this.

1051
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 14: I think Apple is really trying to expand the Apple

1052
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 14: Watches appeal. For a long time, I'm the Apple Watch

1053
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 14: was kind of seen as the smart watch for people

1054
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 14: who care about fitness but aren't athletes or runners or

1055
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 14: scuba divers. A lot of that audience would really go

1056
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 14: for maybe something more like a Garmin Watch or a

1057
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 14: polar Watch. So this is kind of Apple's way of saying, hey,

1058
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 14: we're capable of that sophisticated health tracking too, that sophisticated

1059
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 14: fitness tracking.

1060
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 13: So the fact that.

1061
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 14: They're already releasing another Ultra after introducing it last year,

1062
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 14: I think says a lot about their commitment to that space.

1063
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the iPhone fifteen and fifteen plus. These

1064
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: got the dynamic island, the forty eight megapixel camera, and

1065
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: last year's processor, so a lot of the features that

1066
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,919
Speaker 1: were on the high end phones last year now made

1067
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: their way down to the entry level phones.

1068
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1069
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 14: So you know, based on my first take of what

1070
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 14: I've seen today, it really seems like the iPhone fifteen

1071
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 14: is kind of like the iPhone fourteen Pro, but without

1072
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 14: that stainless deal design and without that extra telephoto camera.

1073
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 14: And it's really interesting because, like I said earlier, you

1074
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 14: see the influence that these more expensive phones have on

1075
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 14: the broader lineup, and I do think that all of

1076
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 14: these changes, taken together, really make the iPhone fifteen feel

1077
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 14: like a.

1078
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 13: Bigger upgrade than the iPhone fourteen. I feel like this

1079
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 13: is the first time in.

1080
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 14: A long time that we've seen really big updates on

1081
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 14: the standard.

1082
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: iPhone also comes in multiple colors, including pink, which is

1083
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: new this year, and it has that usbcport on the bottom.

1084
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:28,720
Speaker 1: Is that going to be a big change for people.

1085
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it probably will be because a lot

1086
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 14: of people are used to using the lightning connector that's

1087
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 14: been around for like ten years on the iPhone now.

1088
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,240
Speaker 14: But I also think it'll make things a lot easier

1089
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 14: for people. You don't need a separate cable to charge

1090
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 14: your laptop and your phone, and the same goes for

1091
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 14: your iPad if you have a newer model. A lot

1092
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 14: of them now have USBC, So I think it just

1093
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 14: made a lot of sense for Apple to make that transition,

1094
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 14: and of course they had to make that transition, but

1095
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 14: I do think it'll make more sense for consumers as well.

1096
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: One thing they did not improve on the iPhone fifteen

1097
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: entry level is the screen refresh rate. Now this may

1098
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: be something that's super techy, but you know, if you

1099
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: look at the screen on the pro version versus the

1100
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 1: regular it's not quite as good.

1101
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 14: Yeah, so the regular iPhone still has not inherited that

1102
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 14: high refresh rate, and I do think, you know, obviously,

1103
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 14: there are some things that Apple has to keep exclusive

1104
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 14: to the pro in order to make it different from

1105
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 14: the regular iPhone, and I guess the refresh rate kind

1106
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 14: of fell into that camp. I do think it is

1107
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 14: one of those features that is really nice to use

1108
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 14: once you use it, but if you haven't used it,

1109
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 14: you might not be missing in as much.

1110
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 13: But I will say high refresh rates.

1111
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 14: Are becoming really standard across most phones, including Android phones

1112
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 14: that are cheaper or the same price as the iPhone fifteen,

1113
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 14: So it is a bit surprising. But you know, also

1114
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 14: again Apple does have to keep some differentiating factors when

1115
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 14: it comes to the Pro and the regular.

1116
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: iPhone, iPhone fifteen and the fifteen plus the fifteen starts

1117
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: at eight hundred dollars, and I believe that's for one

1118
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of storage. Now let's move

1119
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: on to the iPhone FA fifteen and fifteen Promax. This

1120
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: is where they put a majority of their new features,

1121
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: including that new titanium frame. It's got this action button

1122
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,919
Speaker 1: on the side which is programmable, which is cool, five

1123
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: times zoom on the Promax, and of course a new

1124
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: chip the A seventeen Pro. What do you make of

1125
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 1: this device? Do you think it's a pretty good upgrade?

1126
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 14: So I think most of the time when you're thinking

1127
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 14: about upgrading your phone, it depends on how old.

1128
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 13: Your current phone is.

1129
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 14: This does seem like a fairly big upgrade for people

1130
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 14: who are upgrading from I would say an iPhone Pro

1131
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 14: or a regular iPhone that's at least two to three

1132
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 14: years old.

1133
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 13: That said, it's hard to say without having used.

1134
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 14: These devices yet, but I do think this is where

1135
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 14: we see some of the more interesting new features, like

1136
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 14: the action button, for example. I think that kind of

1137
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 14: speaks to who this phone is really for. It's for

1138
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 14: that person who wants more customization, maybe for the person

1139
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 14: who is a bit more productivity oriented, kind of like

1140
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 14: Samsung's Galaxy S twenty three Ultra, right, Like, yes, that

1141
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 14: phone has a powerful camera, but it also has a

1142
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 14: giant screen and a stylist, which is for people who

1143
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:04,760
Speaker 14: you know are being more productive.

1144
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 13: And I don't want to say Apple is doing the.

1145
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 14: Same thing here, but maybe their answer to like the

1146
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 14: customer that wants to be more productive on their phone

1147
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 14: and do a lot of things is having that action

1148
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 14: button and that higher refresherrate on the screen, and.

1149
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 13: Of course the better camera.

1150
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: It's also kind of making people choose the Max if

1151
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: they want the highest zoom range on an iPhone, because

1152
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: now the Max has the five X, whereas the regular

1153
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: one just goes up to what three?

1154
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, So I think again, like the the pro phones

1155
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 14: are for people who do feel like they need that

1156
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 14: extra camera and that extra zoom. I think that's why

1157
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 14: we tend to see a lot of those upgrades on the.

1158
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 13: Highest end device.

1159
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 14: So it's not a surprise that Apple's kind of maintained

1160
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 14: that strategy again this year.

1161
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: A couple other upgrades here. Apple Watch Series nine. This

1162
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: got a new double tap gesture, which they say requires

1163
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: the new processor, so it's not going to come to

1164
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: old Apple watches with a software update, tell me about

1165
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: that fature.

1166
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 3: Do you get a chance to try it out?

1167
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 13: I did get a chance to try it.

1168
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 14: So basically, what this feature does is you're wearing your

1169
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 14: Apple Watch. Let's say you have something in your hand

1170
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 14: and you can't touch the screen.

1171
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 13: You can basically perform this gesture that is a double tap.

1172
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 14: You just tap your index finger and your thumb together

1173
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 14: twice and it controls the screen.

1174
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 13: And I do think it's really interesting. I don't know

1175
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 13: if it's going to be enough to convince people to upgrade.

1176
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 14: I don't know how often I'm gonna find myself actually

1177
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 14: using it, but I do like that Apple is kind

1178
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 14: of thinking about new ways to use the watch because

1179
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 14: it just feels like a bit of a fresh take

1180
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 14: from what we usually see, which is usually just more

1181
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 14: health oriented features, which is great and it's a big

1182
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 14: part of why people buy the Apple Watch, but it's

1183
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 14: nice to see something that feels a bit different as well.

1184
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: Apple Watch Ultra too this is you know, it also

1185
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: gets the new double tap feature. I like how they

1186
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: said the battery life is. They didn't say the same,

1187
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: they just said it's still great. Battery life, so they

1188
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: didn't really improve the battery life, so that didn't really change.

1189
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: Did anything really change on this I love the new

1190
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: watch face. Did the Ultra two get any true improvements?

1191
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 14: I think the S nine chip is probably the biggest improvement,

1192
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 14: and again that should bring faster performance double tap faster

1193
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 14: series since it's it can do the processing on the

1194
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 14: device for certain queries. So I think to me, this

1195
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 14: really read like a refresh of the Ultra so that

1196
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 14: it has all of the same performance enhancements as the

1197
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 14: Series nine.

1198
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: There are a lot of rumors that the Ultra would

1199
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: come in a new black color. That did not happen.

1200
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: Pricing stays the same eight hundred dollars and also cellular

1201
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: is basically included, like you, not the service, but the

1202
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: cellular chip. You can't get the Ultra without that. He

1203
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: tests a lot of devices. How do you feel the

1204
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: state of mobile is at this point?

1205
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 14: Phones have looked the same for a really long time,

1206
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 14: and we're finally starting to see that be different with

1207
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 14: foldable phone. Samsung has been doing this for a while. Now,

1208
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 14: we're seeing Google jump on board. We're seeing other companies

1209
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 14: release more devices like Motorola that are foldable, Apple is

1210
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 14: the main outlier, but to me, the iPhone fifteen Pro

1211
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 14: with the new titanium design and things like that, and

1212
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 14: even the regular fifteen, which you know, like we talked about,

1213
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 14: has a bunch of new features from last year's Pro.

1214
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 14: These phones do feel different than their predecessors in a

1215
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 14: way that's a bit bigger than usual, and part of

1216
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 14: me wonders if this is, you know, also part of

1217
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 14: an effort to stand out and get people talking about

1218
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 14: their phones at a time when foldables are not necessarily

1219
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 14: becoming a hit because a lot of people still aren't

1220
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 14: buying them and they're still extremely expensive. But it's just

1221
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 14: interesting to see, I guess, a different approach and a

1222
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 14: different take on a device that has largely stayed pretty

1223
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 14: much the same for the last like ten to fifteen years,

1224
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 14: aside from processor improvements, camera improvements, bigger and better screens,

1225
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 14: all the things you.

1226
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Would expect, and yet people still love them. Lisa at

1234
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me. More rich on Tech

1235
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: headed your way. If you have a question about technology,

1236
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: give me a call Triple eight rich one on one

1237
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

1238
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. If you can believe it,

1239
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: this music was generated by AI Stability.

1240
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 7: AI.

1241
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: They're known for their uh Ai image generation tool. They

1242
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: have launched Stable audio, so they know they're known for

1243
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Stable diffusion. Now they launched Stable Audio. This is an

1244
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: AI product that lets you generate music and audio. All

1245
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: you do is you type in some text and it

1246
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: will come up with audio based on that text. And

1247
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: so for this one, I typed in, let's see what

1248
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I say, warm Friendly inviting opening music for a radio

1249
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: show about technology, and this is what I came up with.

1250
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: So this was trained on Audio Sparks, so this is

1251
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: a library they trained it on via partnership, so it's

1252
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: actually legitimate. You know how there's that whole debate with

1253
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: AI about how they're training these models. Well, they use

1254
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: legitimate sources for this, so that it's legitimate you can

1255
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: actually generate for free twenty second clips. If you pay

1256
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: you can do ninety second clips, and if you pay

1257
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: you can actually use the clips for commercial purposes. So

1258
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: really interesting, But this is just the beginning. Stableaudio dot

1259
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: com is the website. Let's see how much does it

1260
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: cost to upgrade to pro? So for free you get

1261
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty tracks a month up to forty five seconds okay

1262
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: they're wrong in their press release here, and then for

1263
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: twelve dollars a month you can make up to five

1264
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: hundred tracks up to ninety seconds and commercial use. So

1265
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: what do you think of the audio? I mean, it's

1266
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: not bad, you know, And if I think you know,

1267
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: this is the beginning. So if you learn how to

1268
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: prompt these things, it's all about with the AI. It's

1269
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: all about how to prompt you know when you want

1270
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: to do something. And keep in mind the first time

1271
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: you do something with AI, like if you're chatting with

1272
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: like chat GPT, you can always like ask to rephrase,

1273
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 1: like you can say like if it writes something back

1274
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: to you and you don't like it, you can say, hey,

1275
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: can you add this factor? Can you elaborate more on

1276
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: this angle? Or can you add this or take away this.

1277
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: It's almost like a back and forth chap. It's really

1278
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: really handy. Phone lines triple eight Rich one on one

1279
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

1280
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rick in mission viaho Rick you're on

1281
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 1: with Rich.

1282
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 6: Hey, Rich, thanks for taking my call. My wife and

1283
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 6: I both use max Book Pro thirteen inch late twenty

1284
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 6: twenty with the M one chips, and we were thinking

1285
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 6: about upgrading to the max Book Air fifteen inch for

1286
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 6: the M two chips. I wondered if that was a

1287
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 6: good idea or if we really didn't need to do that.

1288
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 6: I'm kind of wondering how much BRAM we should do

1289
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 6: is right now? We have sixteen Mega RAM on the

1290
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 6: MacBook pros and we both use a lot of apps

1291
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 6: at the same time and often get the little message

1292
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 6: that we're running out of RAM.

1293
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that.

1294
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 6: Yeah? What?

1295
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 3: Okay?

1296
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: So you've got the M one chip in a MacBook Air,

1297
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: a MacBook Pro, oh, MacBook Pro okay, and you're trying

1298
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: to think about switching to the MacBook Air with the

1299
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 1: M two right ooh okay? Um, well, you know the

1300
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,439
Speaker 1: Pro is going to be just better in general than

1301
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: the Air. So are you doing any sort of like

1302
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: video editing on this thing.

1303
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 11: Do something video editing.

1304
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 6: Kind of one of the bigger screen is what I

1305
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 6: was looking.

1306
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you on that. I've got I've got

1307
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: the MacBook Uh what do I have? The MacBook Pro

1308
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: thirteen inch M two So I bought it right when

1309
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: the two. But it's the M two pro so I

1310
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: was fourteen inch, sorry, fourteen inch MacBook Pro.

1311
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 3: So.

1312
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean here's the deal. I think that you're going

1313
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: to take a step down, are you is your processor

1314
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: the M one or is it M one pro? Just

1315
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: M one okay, So I think you're going to take

1316
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: a little step down with the processor because it's an

1317
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: M two versus the M Sorry, you're going sorry, You're

1318
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: you're taking a step down on the MacBook Pro version.

1319
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: So the Pro is obviously going to have some better

1320
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: things inside, better stuff going on than the MacBook Air.

1321
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: So I think overall you're going to take a little

1322
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: bit of a step back.

1323
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 3: Now.

1324
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 1: The screen size is going to be nice, that's for sure.

1325
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: The M two is you know, if you look at

1326
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:48,919
Speaker 1: the numbers, according to Apple, eighteen percent faster, thirty five

1327
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: percent more powerful on the graphics, and the you know,

1328
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: the AI engine is forty percent better, and of course

1329
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: the memory is better, so you can get up to

1330
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: twenty four gigs. Is where you noticed on your MacBook situation?

1331
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I did.

1332
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 11: I mean, that's that getting that to twenty four I

1333
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 11: think it's another four hundred bucks or something.

1334
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 6: That's no, it's you have the same problem with sixteen

1335
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 6: megs on the air that we do on the pro.

1336
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 3: Well.

1337
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think that most I would say

1338
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: most people probably have the sixteen at this point. That's

1339
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: kind of the default for the Apple I think it's

1340
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: the default for the laptops. That's what mine has. You know,

1341
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: it's one of these things where you know, in some

1342
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: aspects you're taking a step forward with the newer computer,

1343
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: the newer M two, but in some aspects you are

1344
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: taking a step back because the architecture of the of

1345
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 1: the air is just not as fast in general as

1346
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: the pro computers. So you may notice that it's fine

1347
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: for what you're doing, you may notice that it's not

1348
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: as good because of what specific tasks you're doing. Especially

1349
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to the M one chip

1350
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: versus the M two, more memory is always better, but

1351
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: and more screen size is always better. Are you trying

1352
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: to replace two computers or one two? Well, well, maybe

1353
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: start with one and see how it works. Is this

1354
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: like a business that you're running off these things?

1355
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 6: And my marriage and family therapist with an online practice and.

1356
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 7: The screen size, oh okay.

1357
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: I think for her it's a definitely go with the

1358
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: air for sure. I think if she's doing a lot

1359
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: of zooms, she doing a lot of virtual stuff, a

1360
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: lot of appointments, and she needs the big screen size.

1361
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:30,959
Speaker 10: Yep.

1362
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for her the fifteen inches of the

1363
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: no brainer. I think for you if you're if you're

1364
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: doing a lot of video editing or any video editing,

1365
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: I think that a pro computer is really where it's at.

1366
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: You can accomplish it on the Mac Booquare for sure,

1367
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: and the greater memory and the greater processor may be

1368
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: fine depending on what you're doing. But for me personally,

1369
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: like I think the pros where it's at when it

1370
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 1: comes to video and if you're doing any sort of

1371
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: video editing, I do think that the pros are better.

1372
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: So I would say start with hers, maybe try, you know,

1373
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: try some of the things that you do on her computer.

1374
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: But for her, the upgrade is a no brainer for you.

1375
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: I think that the I know it's twenty twenty, I

1376
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: know that it's it's going on a couple years old.

1377
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: But I might wait for your computer and just deal

1378
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: with what you've got, unless you're just at at your

1379
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 1: wits end with this memory issue.

1380
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 3: But that's that's what I would do.

1381
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,799
Speaker 1: I know it's always tempting to get the newest, the latest,

1382
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,759
Speaker 1: the greatest, the better, but Mac computers last a really

1383
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 1: long time. My last computer was, you know, minimum three

1384
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:31,679
Speaker 1: years old. It did not have the M one chip,

1385
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: and I was still editing for TV on a daily

1386
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: basis on that thing, and it was just fine. I mean,

1387
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: there's no I had no issues except for the fact

1388
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 1: that I just wanted the shiny new thing and I

1389
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: got it, and I kind of regret it because the

1390
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,600
Speaker 1: screen size I went from was a sixteen inch to

1391
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: a fourteen inch, and I feel like the ergonomics on

1392
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: the fourteen inch are not as good as the sixteen inch.

1393
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: So maybe stick what you got until maybe they come

1394
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: out with the next level of processors or the next

1395
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: level of pros. See what they do there, and then

1396
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: take it from there. Good question, Rick, It's always tricky

1397
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: with the with the computers the laptops, because it seems

1398
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: like newer is better. Speaking of laptops, chromebooks getting ten

1399
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: years of updates. So there's this big to do about

1400
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: all the schools that switch to chromebooks during the pandemic,

1401
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: and they had to throw a lot of them away

1402
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: because they just weren't lasting a couple of years with

1403
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: the software updates. So Google said, you know what, We're

1404
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: going to do ten years of updates. So starting in

1405
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, that's next year, chromebooks from twenty twenty

1406
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: one on are going to get ten years of updates.

1407
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: So even if you have an old Chromebook that's made

1408
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty one on, you're going to get ten

1409
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: years of software updates. Now, they're not saying that this

1410
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: is going to be like, you know, operating system updates necessarily,

1411
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: but it's going to be it's going to be at

1412
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: least ten years of you know, well it says operating systems,

1413
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: so actually it will be this will keep these things

1414
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: stable secure. Google is also going to step up their

1415
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 1: repair process because a lot of people faulted these chromebooks

1416
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 1: for not being very repairable. So that's a huge deal.

1417
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: So ten years of updates for Chromebooks will make more

1418
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 1: schools purchase them, make them more feasible for schools instead

1419
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: of having to swap these things out after three years

1420
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: four years. You know, kids go through the school for

1421
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: four years whatever five years, depending on the school, and

1422
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: they can keep the Chromebook the entire time. So that's

1423
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: a good thing. Thanks Google for doing that. Eight and

1427
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: We know that the world of evs is turning to

1428
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: Tesla superchargers. A lot of the new evs in the

1429
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: next couple of years are going to come with a

1430
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,640
Speaker 1: Tesla charger inside, even though it's made by Ford or

1431
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: GM or Hyundai or whatever. They're all getting on board

1432
01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 1: with Tesla's charging standard. And so Tesla announced this week

1433
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: fifty thousand superchargers. They painted it red actually with a

1434
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: commemorative plaque to commemorate the milestone. So of course all

1435
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: the Tesla folks are looking for this thing apparently now

1436
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's found. Maybe this article is older,

1437
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: but Roseville, California is apparently where it is. Tesla supercharger

1438
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: network expanded from just six stalls in September twenty twelve

1439
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: to fifty thousand around the world in September twenty twenty three.

1440
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: And I will tell you when you're looking at evs,

1441
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 1: I know I drive a lot of them. I test

1442
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: drive a lot for segments. And the biggest issue with

1443
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: non Tesla's is when you get it out of your driveway.

1444
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: The charging situation. Now, if you're charging at home and

1445
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: you're charging at work, you can have any ev you want.

1446
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: It's when you're on a road trip that it gets

1447
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,560
Speaker 1: really really tricky because if you're relying on random chargers,

1448
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: you may not find one that works, you may not

1449
01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: find one where you need it, you may not find

1450
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:02,520
Speaker 1: one at all. And so that is the big hesitation.

1451
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: And that's also the reason why these car companies have

1452
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: all moved to Tesla's network of charging, because they said,

1453
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 1: you know what, you did it right, you figured it out,

1454
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: and it's already ready to go. So I think that's

1455
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: bad for the Tesla drivers because there's suddenly going to

1456
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: be an influx of lots of folks charging at these superchargers,

1457
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: so we'll see if they can keep up. Tesla Model

1458
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: three is getting an update in twenty twenty four. For

1459
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four model, it's getting a feature that

1460
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:34,680
Speaker 1: I could not believe was not in the car that

1461
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 1: I got, the Model three blind spot indicators. You know,

1462
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 1: you drive all these cars. Almost every car I test

1463
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: drive has a little red light on the mirror that

1464
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: tells you if there's a car in your blind spot.

1465
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 1: And for some reason, the Model three did not, excuse me,

1466
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 1: did not have that. And now it has that, and

1467
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: so that's finally, I mean, this is like a feature

1468
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 1: that is like almost worth upgrading your car for it's

1469
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 1: so good. But the other thing that they do is

1470
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 1: they like make a warning sound if you have someone

1471
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: in your blind spot, but for some reason that never

1472
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: really works, so maybe someone really has to be in

1473
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: the blind spot. But anyway, that's a that's a big,

1474
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: big new addition because the blind spot indicator lights, if

1475
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: you have them in your car, they're just so much

1476
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: better than any other system. Let's go to the phone

1477
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: lines here. Let's go to Jim. Jim is in Huntingdon Beach. Jim,

1478
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

1479
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 3: Hello, Hello, I'm here.

1480
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: Okay, there, take take the phone off speaker. I hear you,

1481
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: but it's a little chaotic there. What's happening?

1482
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 6: Can you hear me? Now?

1483
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: I hear you now. Yes, you sound like a Verizon commercial.

1484
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 11: No, my my wife is chatting. Okay, I'm I'm I

1485
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,719
Speaker 11: work at home a lot, and I'm a patent attorney

1486
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 11: now retired, but I do get a chance to work

1487
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 11: with all cases and that sort of thing, and which

1488
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:01,919
Speaker 11: we're dealing with large numbers of drawings PDF drawings okay

1489
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 11: on eight and hip eleven sheets of paper. And so

1490
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 11: you've got files and you were dealing with Windows ten

1491
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,520
Speaker 11: and it has a thing on it called the explorer.

1492
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 11: So you want to look up look for a file.

1493
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 6: You're using sport.

1494
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 11: When you find a file and you pull a file

1495
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 11: up and shown the screen, then you think, oh, I

1496
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 11: want to modifly the drawing name. I want to go

1497
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 11: like this will be going into five, and that I'll

1498
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 11: add a five to one of the titles to five,

1499
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 11: that I'll have six to the next and seven. So

1500
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 11: when I look at them in a fly in a

1501
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 11: group in order then make I cannot make sense out, okay,

1502
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 11: Rather a bunch of jobbers, all of the.

1503
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 10: Screen, all the the memory.

1504
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 11: Now my problem is when you go ahead and uh

1505
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 11: and have these files and you call them up with

1506
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 11: Windows ten and Explorer, you find that you don't have

1507
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 11: when they're on the screen, you can't do a save

1508
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 11: that at least I hadn't figured it out. I haven't

1509
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 11: found out how to do a save as command the

1510
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 11: PDF document. So I have to go back and get

1511
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 11: the stake gout, you know, take the name off the screen.

1512
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 11: I'm interested in that dogment because you're going to modify

1513
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 11: the screen, but modify the time squire name.

1514
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 1: So you're trying to Are you trying to rename the files? Natalie?

1515
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 3: Okay?

1516
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: So so okay, so what what program are you trying

1517
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: to open them up in as a PDF? Are you

1518
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 1: using like Adobe or using like Microsoft Edge?

1519
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 6: No? No, I just want to find it and find

1520
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 6: it and then rename it.

1521
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 3: Okay, but it's a PDF.

1522
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 11: Okay, Then you got a problem because to get it

1523
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 11: up on the screen and then to rename it with

1524
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 11: a modified file name, you then have to go back

1525
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 11: in and then open it up with Adobe Acrobat or

1526
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 11: something like that. That is crazy, because I've been able

1527
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 11: to open file names with Explore and then rename them.

1528
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: Okay, why why don't you do this? Here's a short cut.

1529
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Here's a short cut. If you just find the file

1530
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: in your Windows Explorer. You know, let's say you have

1531
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: it in a folder, right, Uh, just hit the F

1532
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: two key and you can rename it whatever you want.

1533
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 11: Where did F two come from?

1534
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:08,799
Speaker 1: It's on the top of the keyboard.

1535
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:11,640
Speaker 11: I know, I know where it is. But when are

1536
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 11: we supposed to know about that?

1537
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's why you called me.

1538
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 6: Okay, I mean, I'll.

1539
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 11: Give that a try.

1540
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: So that's yeah, that's the easiest way to do it.

1541
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 1: You just go, you open up Explorer. Yeah, I'm doing

1542
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 1: it right now on my computer, and I you know,

1543
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 1: and I agree. The save as is obviously a very

1544
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: handy functionality, and I believe if you would open it

1545
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: inside something like Adobe, it would let you do that.

1546
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: But I don't have that on my computer right now.

1547
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: But if you just literally highlight the file you want,

1548
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: and this goes for anyone that's on Windows, but if

1549
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: you highlight Windows ten or eleven as well. But if

1550
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: you highlight in the in the file Explorer, so you know,

1551
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: if you just open up any folder, highlight the the

1552
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 1: icon of the or the file name, and just hit

1553
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: F two up at the top and you it'll immediately

1554
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 1: go to rename the file and you can just type

1555
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: in whatever you want. You can also right click the

1556
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: file and select rename, so that's another way of doing it.

1557
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: So just go right click and let's see here. Well

1558
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm seeing let's see open with favorites. I don't see

1559
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: it on there. I guess you can go to properties

1560
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 1: and change it there, but that's kind of that's that's

1561
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 1: too much work. The F two is probably the way

1562
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 1: to do it, So Jim, try it out. Stop cursing

1563
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,759
Speaker 1: out Windows, and I think that's gonna be the easiest

1564
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: way to do it. You don't even have to open

1565
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 1: the file to rename it. Once you've got it in

1566
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 1: your file folder, just hit that F two key. So

1567
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: good question. I'm glad we were able to figure that

1568
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 1: out so easily. Let's go to Darlene in Lomita, California. Darlene,

1569
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

1570
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 4: Hi, Rich, how you doing?

1571
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: I am doing fantastic. How are you?

1572
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 4: I'm pretty good. My phone is an iPhone eight and

1573
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 4: it's not no longer going to get the iOS updates.

1574
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 4: So I'm being forced to get a new phone. I

1575
01:17:58,080 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 4: don't think I want to get the fifteen. So I

1576
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 4: want to see what you think I should do.

1577
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 3: Oh okay, what do you do on your phone?

1578
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 4: I'm retired. I play games?

1579
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 1: Okay, So you want a big screen?

1580
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 3: Probably right, well, not that big.

1581
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm fine with just getting a regular I

1582
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 4: don't need the proer plus. I don't think, Oh.

1583
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: You don't, okay?

1584
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 4: Might? I mean, I don't know. I'm asking you what

1585
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 4: I think.

1586
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: Okay, I think you go with the plus. I think

1587
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: if you're you're telling me you're playing games, why would

1588
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: you not want more screen space? I think that the

1589
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: more real estate the better. You know, you're retired, you

1590
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 1: want to enjoy your phone. You probably use it for

1591
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, So why go with the

1592
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: smaller screen when for one hundred bucks more you can

1593
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: have a bigger screen. Now, the phones that Apple is

1594
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: selling officially at this point is the fifteen and fifteen Pro.

1595
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: Obviously we don't want those, so the older models that

1596
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: they're selling are the fourteen and the thirteen. So you know,

1597
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of depends do you have a budget, Like,

1598
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: do you want to spend or not spend a certain amount.

1599
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 4: Well, not really. I mean, you know, if I have

1600
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 4: it's a little more expensive and it's better, then I'll

1601
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 4: do it.

1602
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:02,799
Speaker 3: Okay.

1603
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: So when it comes to the iPhone thirteen, oh, interesting,

1604
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: they're not selling the plus model. Oh that's interesting.

1605
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 3: Okay.

1606
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: So it looks like they're just selling the iPhone thirteen.

1607
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 1: So if you want to get the plus model, you

1608
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 1: got to jump up to the fourteen. So the iPhone

1609
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: fourteen Plus is eight hundred dollars and that comes in

1610
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of different colors, so you can

1611
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 1: pick those colors, and the storage is one twenty eight,

1612
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: which I think is more than enough for you because

1613
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're retired, you said, so you're just

1614
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: this is more casual use. So do you take a

1615
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: lot of pictures or videos?

1616
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 4: Not really, No, And I will be upgrading through Verizon.

1617
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 1: You'll be upgrading through Verizon.

1618
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 4: That's what I usually do because I don't know how

1619
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 4: to do all this time.

1620
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're upgrading through Verizon, Now here's the thing.

1621
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: Verizon's deals right now are obviously going to be geared

1622
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: towards the new iPhone, So they're going to want to

1623
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: sell you the new iPhone. Okay, And so I'm looking

1624
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,080
Speaker 1: at their deals so new and existing, so you you

1625
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:01,640
Speaker 1: may just want to get if you're gonna are you

1626
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna stick with Verizon for a long time.

1627
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 4: I've been with them since they were.

1628
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 1: Air touched, Okay, So it sounds like, so what I

1629
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,879
Speaker 1: think you should do is take advantage of their existing

1630
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: customer deal. If you add oh you got to add

1631
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 1: a new line though, darn it. Existing customers can upgrade

1632
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: and get oh, here we go. You can get up

1633
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: to eight hundred and thirty dollars off the new iPhone fifteen.

1634
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 1: But you got to trade in your old phone, and

1635
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: your old phone's not gonna be worth much, so that's

1636
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: not really gonna work. So what I would do is

1637
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: I would go on Verizon's website, see what they're going

1638
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: to give you for your old phone. You'll probably get

1639
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: You're probably not gonna get much, I'll be honest. The

1640
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 1: iPhone eight is not going to give you too much.

1641
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: But I think I think the best phone for you

1642
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: is probably the iPhone fourteen plus. And that way you

1643
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: get a nice big screen, you can play your games,

1644
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: you can look at your pictures. They've got a whole

1645
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: bunch of fun colors. It's not the latest phone, but

1646
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 1: quite honestly, this is going to be a really solid

1647
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 1: device that's gonna last you years. So you're going to

1648
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:00,560
Speaker 1: get your trading money for your old which is not

1649
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: gonna be too much. I can how long do we have, Adam? Okay,

1650
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to see how much you might be

1651
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: expecting for that old device. Let's just see. Let's just

1652
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: select a smartphone. Let's say iPhone eight. Ooh, Darlene, You're

1653
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: only gonna get sixty bucks for that phone, so it

1654
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,639
Speaker 1: may be better to keep it as a backup phone.

1655
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: So but I would recommend the iPhone fourteen plus. I

1656
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: think if they can sell you like the thirteen plus,

1657
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe go for that. But they they

1658
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:36,120
Speaker 1: may do it. Apple doesn't officially, but but Verizon may

1659
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,600
Speaker 1: because they may have stock of that still. But I

1660
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: think you go with the thirteen plus or the fourteen plus.

1661
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,560
Speaker 1: Either way, it's gonna be about eight hundred bucks, and

1662
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a good, solid choice for you,

1663
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 1: and it's a good upgrade. It sounds like you've had

1664
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:51,600
Speaker 1: this iPhone eight for a while huh, yes, yes I have.

1665
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: So I think you'll notice your pictures will be a

1666
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 1: lot better, your battery life will be a lot better.

1667
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: And you don't care about the new USBC. You're not like,

1668
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: you're not really caring to get that.

1669
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 4: Not really, Nope, I just bought a bunch of other chords.

1670
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: Well then there's your answer, So this will work with

1671
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: those chords. So I think that's the phone to get,

1672
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 1: and I think that you're going to be pretty happy

1673
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 1: with that. But going through Verizon, but ask them, you know,

1674
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 1: see what deals they have. They're probably going to try

1675
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 1: to steer you towards the new iPhone fifteen the iPhone

1676
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 1: fifteen plus. But I don't think you need it, especially

1677
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: if you just bought all those new cables. Thanks for

1678

01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: this hour, we're going to talk to Mark Saltzman about

1683
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 1: more of the iPhone stuff and more of the Apple stuff.

1684
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: You'll get his take on iPhone versus Android two. You're

1685
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1686
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you. Pat writes in, uh,

1687
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: do you know why the calendar on Samsung phones doesn't

1688
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,480
Speaker 1: list Jewish holidays?

1689
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 3: Good question.

1690
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,640
Speaker 1: So I just looked up on my Samsung that I

1691
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 1: keep here and sure enough nothing. So that's you know.

1692
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: I think there are calendar feeds that you can get,

1693
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: Like if you look at Google's calendar, they have like

1694
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 1: a default you know, holidays in the United States feed,

1695
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,600
Speaker 1: but you can add more feeds. And so I just

1696
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: looked up online Jewish holiday calendar feed and it brought

1697
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 1: me to a website that's hgbcl dot com slash iCal

1698
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:41,719
Speaker 1: and you can just import these for either iPhone, Google

1699
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: or Outlook. And they have one with emojis and one

1700
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:49,880
Speaker 1: without emojis, and it displays major holidays such as Rashashana,

1701
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Yam Kapor, Passover, Hanukkah, does not include the minor and

1702
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: modern holidays fast days anyway, So that's what you want

1703
01:23:59,280 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: to do.

1704
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 3: If you want to get.

1705
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: Your specific religious holidays on your calendar, you can Google

1706
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: a website that keeps a list and has a calendar feed,

1707
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: So that's what you want. You basically want to look

1708
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 1: for a calendar feed and just Google your religion calendar feed,

1709
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: click on that. I would click it from your phone.

1710
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: It's probably easiest to do it from your phone because

1711
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 1: your calendar app will try to open that up, and

1712
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: once you open it up, it'll be in there. By

1713
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 1: the way, if you want to manage your calendars, if

1714
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 1: you're using Google Calendar on your iPhone or Android, you

1715
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:39,919
Speaker 1: can tap on the left hand side and it shows

1716
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 1: all of your different calendars, events, tasks, you know, all

1717
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 1: the different calendars you have. You can select those or

1718
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 1: de select those, and you can also change the color

1719
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: that those calendars show up as. And I've got tons

1720
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 1: that you know, I've got one for like the New

1721
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 1: York Jets, I've got one for the usc Trojans. So

1722
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: you can have all these things on your calendar. All

1723
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 1: about getting that feed, and if you want to get

1724
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 1: rid of them, just go on that left hand side

1725
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,440
Speaker 1: in the menu and just get rid of the calendars

1726
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 1: the calendars that you don't want. Same thing on Samsung.

1727
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: If you're inside the Samsung Calendar, just tap the left

1728
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 1: hand side. There's like a little menu button and then

1729
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 1: you can see all the different calendars says MyPhone, Samsung account, Google,

1730
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 1: and you just go through and you can de select

1731
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 1: or select. Now on the iPhone, I wish I had

1732
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: my calendar app. I don't use the iPhone calendar app.

1733
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 1: I think it's poorly, poorly designed and it's been around forever.

1734
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: But there is the same thing on there. You can

1735
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,759
Speaker 1: go into your calendar. I believe it's in the settings.

1736
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 1: Let's go into the settings on the iPhone and you

1737
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 1: go down settings, you go down to calendar and same

1738
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: exact thing. So settings on the iPhone calendar, it says

1739
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:54,679
Speaker 1: accounts and then you have all your accounts iCloud, Exchange, Outlook, Gmail,

1740
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: and then you can toggle the accounts you want, and

1741
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 1: then you can also toggle the calendars that you want,

1742
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 1: so you can do your default calendar. A lot of

1743
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: people don't select their default calendar and they forget and

1744
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 1: it's like random things show up. So if you ever

1745
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: have a default calendar, and then when you go into

1746
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 1: the app, you can choose the calendars that you want.

1747
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: I believe it's at the bottom of the app, but

1748
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 1: they all let you do this. So the point is

1749
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: it's your calendar. You put the stuff on there that

1750
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: you want. If you want a feed of the holidays

1751
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: that you celebrate, put it on there. Let's see, let's

1752
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: go to Oh, we've got thirty seconds. We can't go

1753
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: a call, so we're not gonna do that. Oh, today's

1754
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:35,919
Speaker 1: Rossiashana as I'm heard? Okay, so do you say happy Rasashana?

1755
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is that a thing?

1756
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 9: Sure?

1757
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 1: Okay? Producer Adam says sure. By the way, you heard

1758
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 1: the story about the iPhone, the France software radiation situation.

1759
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: So Apple's gonna issue a software update. They take issue

1760
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: with how France tested the phone, so they say the

1761
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: radiation is fine, it's just how they tested it. They're

1762
01:26:57,200 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna issue a software update to resolve it. So you

1763
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: don't have to throw your iPhone twelve away if you're

1764
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: worried about that whole situation. All right, Coming up, we're

1765
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Mark Saltzman about iPhone, all the new iPhones,

1766
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:11,800
Speaker 1: and what he thinks about iPhone versus Android. You are

1767
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1768
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here on location in Coopertino day after the

1769
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 1: big Apple event and joining me now to talk about

1770
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 1: it is Mark Saltzman. You've probably seen him online. He's

1771
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: been in USA Today for many years as a columnist,

1772
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 1: also AARP magazine and maybe at Costco on those TVs.

1773
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 3: Right, that is true. Thank you for having me on

1774
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:39,759
Speaker 3: the show, Rich.

1775
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me. So you're at the event like myself.

1776
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: So we've got new iPhones, new Apple watches. What is

1777
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: your overall impression of traveling to Coopertino for a show.

1778
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 15: Like this, Well, it's you know, obviously fun as a

1779
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,799
Speaker 15: journalist in the tech space to be here in person,

1780
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 15: see colleagues like yourself and witness these new devices here

1781
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 15: in year out. But that being said, these devices, as

1782
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 15: your listeners likely no, they're a lot more evolutionary than revolutionary.

1783
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 15: Anyone coming here or streaming the Wonderlust event online, if

1784
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 15: they're expecting something like earth shattering, it's usually not gonna happen.

1785
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 3: It's more iterative, if you will.

1786
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 15: That doesn't mean that the iPhone fifteen is not the

1787
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 15: best iPhone ever created.

1788
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:24,839
Speaker 3: It is. But if you've got, you know, an ifour

1789
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 3: iPhone fourteen pro.

1790
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 15: Pro Maax, there's probably a little reason to upgrade. But

1791
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 15: impressive nonetheless across the board.

1792
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: What's always interesting to me is that, and I cover

1793
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: everything just like you do. Whenever I cover Apple, I

1794
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: get the Samsung haters. Whenever I cover Samsung, I get

1795
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: the Apple haters. So why do you think that brings

1796
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: out like the worst in people?

1797
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 3: I mean, these are just new phones.

1798
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 15: Well they're phones, but they're the most used device that

1799
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 15: we have in our life. This is the one digital

1800
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,559
Speaker 15: Swiss army knife that we all carry in our pocket.

1801
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 15: And because of that, it's an intimate thing, right, You've

1802
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 15: got everything on there, and so it's a very personal device,

1803
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 15: so we tend to get very territorial about it. You

1804
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 15: can't please everybody, as you know as a tech reviewer.

1805
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,839
Speaker 15: But and there's certainly choice out there, which is awesome.

1806
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 15: Right for Android, there's I mean fewer today now that

1807
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 15: if you have bowed out like LG and so on,

1808
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 15: but you've got the Pixel and Samsung and others. Only

1809
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 15: Apple makes iPhone, so you're stuck with you know, with that.

1810
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 15: But to many they want to stay within the Apple ecosystem.

1811
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 15: If they've got a Mac, an iPad, air pods and

1812
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 15: the like, some of which require an iPhone. Apple Watch does,

1813
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 15: but yeah, you know, its it boils down a personal

1814
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 15: preference Android has some advantages, more choice, more price selection

1815
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 15: as well, more apps to choose from, and less let's

1816
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 15: call them safeguards. If you are more tech savvy and

1817
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,639
Speaker 15: you want to get into the code and tweak things

1818
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 15: or download apps that are not just at the Google

1819
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 15: Play Store, you can do that. Apple's got what they

1820
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,839
Speaker 15: call their walled garden approach where you can only download

1821
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 15: apps from the App Store. But that's fine for many

1822
01:29:57,560 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 15: people who don't want to risk getting any kind of viruses.

1823
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 3: Or anything like that.

1824
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so the iPhone fifteen and fifteen plus they're getting

1825
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:07,640
Speaker 1: pretty much last year's pro features, that dynamic Island, that

1826
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 1: forty eight megapixel camera. Now they're going to be taking

1827
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 1: pictures at a default twenty four megapixels.

1828
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:14,639
Speaker 3: What do you make of these new devices?

1829
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 15: Yeah, I like that the premium features trickle down to

1830
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,439
Speaker 15: the more entry level ones, even if it is a

1831
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 15: year later.

1832
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,799
Speaker 3: And I'm personally I'm a fan of dynamic Island.

1833
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,599
Speaker 15: Yes, we've all teased Apple for having that little notch

1834
01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 15: at the top of their screen. So their answer to

1835
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 15: that shy of having no notch at all like many

1836
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:33,719
Speaker 15: Samsung's and other devices. Their answer to that is making

1837
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 15: it more interactive, whereby the app that you're using will

1838
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 15: give you information in that little window at the top

1839
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:40,960
Speaker 15: of the screen. So if you're waiting for your uber,

1840
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,080
Speaker 15: it'll show you how much longer it'll be until they

1841
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 15: get you. And visually you'll see like a little icon

1842
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:46,639
Speaker 15: of a car. If you want to see what git

1843
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:48,679
Speaker 15: you need to go to to catch your flight, it'll

1844
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 15: count down when you're boarding and show you that, and

1845
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 15: then you can tap for a deeper dive. And there's

1846
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,599
Speaker 15: hundreds of applications. I really like dynamic Island. But as

1847
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:58,719
Speaker 15: you hint to that, Rich, only last year's Pro models

1848
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:02,679
Speaker 15: had that. Now all four iPhone fifteen's have that. Better

1849
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 15: cameras across the board. We do use our phone now

1850
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 15: as are for most of us a primary photography device,

1851
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 15: and it's our camquorder, if you will to use that

1852
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 15: out dated term. So yeah, bring it on and that

1853
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 15: makes anybody, and you couple that with AI, it makes

1854
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 15: anybody take fantastic photos.

1855
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen Pro and the Pro Max. This is really

1856
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 1: where Apple is separating from the pack. This is where

1857
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 1: they're putting their newest, latest, greatest features, kind of like

1858
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 1: what Samsung did with the Ultra and also the note

1859
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 1: back in the day. This gets the new processor. This

1860
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 1: also gets the titanium design which makes it more lightweight.

1861
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 1: And also the Max will get a five time zoom.

1862
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:44,360
Speaker 1: So oh, in the.

1863
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 3: Action button, we should talk about that. Tell me about

1864
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 3: that action button.

1865
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 15: Sure, if you have an iPhone fourteen Pro or a Promax,

1866
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 15: you'll know on the left side of your iPhone is

1867
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 15: a mute toggle switch. So essentially, when you need to

1868
01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:58,840
Speaker 15: have your phone be quiet you're entering a meeting or

1869
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:01,520
Speaker 15: what have you, you conflict that that has been replaced

1870
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 15: with a multipurpose action button, where if you press and

1871
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 15: hold that little button for a couple of seconds, you

1872
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:08,800
Speaker 15: can have your phone.

1873
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 3: Yes, you can have it mute if you like.

1874
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 15: So I think that's it's more versatile, So I like

1875
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 15: that if it's not much harder to use, which we'll see.

1876
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:18,680
Speaker 15: If five times telephoto camera is awesome, that's only in

1877
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 15: the Pro Max model. It's a three times telephoto zoom

1878
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 15: for the regular iPhone fifteen Pro.

1879
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 1: And hold on, I gotta interrupt you here because I

1880
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 1: know the naysayer is going to say, come on, Samsung

1881
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,640
Speaker 1: has one hundred times zoom. They've got ten times optical,

1882
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 1: but Apple takes a more steady, slower approach to change.

1883
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:37,639
Speaker 3: It's not just a numbers game.

1884
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 15: It's also the quality and size of the sensor and

1885
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:45,440
Speaker 15: some of the computational photography elements that Apple introduces that Samsung.

1886
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:48,360
Speaker 3: Does as well. But yeah, it is an improvement for Apple.

1887
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 15: I would still argue that Samsung optics are better across

1888
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 15: the board. I have not yet tried iPhone fifteen Pro

1889
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 15: Max in a real world environment.

1890
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,720
Speaker 3: Only at Apple Park, you know, outside of Steve Jobs

1891
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,719
Speaker 3: theater where the lighting is really good. Yeah, right, exactly,

1892
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 3: you know it.

1893
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:07,720
Speaker 15: But no, I still firmly believe Samsung has better optics,

1894
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 15: and the haters can write me as well. But five

1895
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 15: times photo zoom lens is great because not only can

1896
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 15: you capture more detail from a distance, but you can

1897
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 15: even take an existing photo and then crop it and

1898
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:21,719
Speaker 15: zoom in on it without losing much integrity of that photo.

1899
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 3: So there's two sort of benefits to that.

1900
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 15: Greater optical zoom in camera, and it would be remiss

1901
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:31,719
Speaker 15: rich not to acknowledge. For all the iPhone fifteen's Apple

1902
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 15: has now adopted USBC, so it's more of a universal

1903
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:36,679
Speaker 15: standard for the charging port underneath.

1904
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 3: It was a little weird.

1905
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 15: I have to admit to look at the bottom of

1906
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 15: the iPhone fifteen and not see a lightning connector. But

1907
01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:45,599
Speaker 15: as your listeners might know, this is not Apple's decision.

1908
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 15: The European Union has mandated that by fall of twenty

1909
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 15: twenty four, all consumer electronics products sold in Europe have

1910
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 15: to have this universal adapter or report, because that's what

1911
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 15: most people have. They're interchangeable, they're less expensive, it's not

1912
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,479
Speaker 15: proprietary like lightning is. So I think it's a win

1913
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 15: for the consumer overall. Apple maybe grudgingly made the change,

1914
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 15: and they at least adopted it a year early, and

1915
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:13,440
Speaker 15: internationally they're not just selling a separate phone to Europeans.

1916
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 15: So kudos to Apple on that. It's better on the

1917
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,360
Speaker 15: environment for in terms of electronic waste.

1918
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 1: What do you make of Apple's environmental push. They pledged

1919
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: to be carbon neutral by twenty thirty. They spent a

1920
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 1: big portion of the keynote talking about what they've done

1921
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:28,599
Speaker 1: in this area.

1922
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:31,880
Speaker 15: Yeah, I was kind of surprised with the amount of

1923
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,040
Speaker 15: time they spent in that hour and a half wonder

1924
01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 15: less presentation on recycling and sorry sustainability rather, And you know,

1925
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:42,080
Speaker 15: I don't have all the data in front of me

1926
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:46,799
Speaker 15: about how much Apple, being the world's biggest tech company

1927
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 15: and even possibly the world's biggest company just shy of

1928
01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 15: three trillion dollars in market value, how much they are

1929
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:57,320
Speaker 15: contributing to pollution and other issues like potentially climate change.

1930
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 15: Very hard to gauge and pin it to on particular company.

1931
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:04,720
Speaker 15: But they're making these concessions or these moves towards this

1932
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 15: carbon neutrality for I'm sure a few reasons. So kudos

1933
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,000
Speaker 15: to Apple for trying to get ahead of that twenty

1934
01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 15: thirty goal. In fact, the Apple Watch Series nine and

1935
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 15: the Apple Watch Ultra two, both of which were unveiled

1936
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,760
Speaker 15: at the Apple event as well, are going to be

1937
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:23,600
Speaker 15: Apple's first carbon neutral products. If you buy the aluminum

1938
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 15: version of Series nine and pair it with a band

1939
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 15: like it's all numbers, right, So if you pair it

1940
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,519
Speaker 15: with this special sport band with this new material, then

1941
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 15: it's truly carbon neutral. So it's a step in the

1942
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:35,880
Speaker 15: right direction. I'm not going to fault to company for

1943
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,400
Speaker 15: trying to make an effort, regardless of what their motives are.

1944
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:40,799
Speaker 1: Did you get a chance to try the new double

1945
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: tap to select gesture feature on the new Apple Watch,

1946
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 1: where you basically tap your fingers together and it selects

1947
01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 1: a button on the screen.

1948
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:50,200
Speaker 15: Yeah, I did try that with the new Apple Watch

1949
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 15: Series nine. That new aluminum pink color is nice as well.

1950
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 15: I think that's going to be a hit. But yeah,

1951
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 15: I like that feature. So instead of having to squint

1952
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,599
Speaker 15: to look at your small Apple Watch green in order

1953
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 15: to you know, hang up a call, or to snap

1954
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 15: a photo on your nearby iPhone, or to change tracks

1955
01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 15: with your music, You're gonna be able to all do

1956
01:36:09,479 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 15: that with a quick tap of your forefinger and your

1957
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 15: thumb together on the same hand as your Apple Watch.

1958
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 15: So I think that's super convenient and fast, and it

1959
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 15: also is great from an accessibility standpoint for those that

1960
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:24,040
Speaker 15: may have dexterity issues, you know, they have trouble maybe

1961
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,520
Speaker 15: touching a small screen. They may have you know, Parkinson's

1962
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 15: for example, as some of my family members do. So

1963
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:31,680
Speaker 15: I think that's a great feature that's only going to

1964
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 15: be available in the two new watches, but hopefully they'll

1965
01:36:34,360 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 15: roll it out and trickle it down to the other

1966
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 15: Apple Watches over time like they have with iPhones features

1967
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 15: as well.

1968
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 1: Mark Saltzman thanks so much for joining me. How can

1980
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 1: already towards the end here, it's almost time for the

1981
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 1: feedback segment. So a couple of things I mentioned earlier.

1982
01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 1: The Better Business Bureau has a new scam that is

1983
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: happening when it comes to sports streaming. So spammers are

1984
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 1: creating fake streaming links for high school sporting events and

1985
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,800
Speaker 1: posting them on social media, hoping that you would say, oh,

1986
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:41,600
Speaker 1: let me watch my kids game on the on the internet.

1987
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:43,680
Speaker 1: And then they say, oh, we got to log in,

1988
01:37:43,760 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: you got to put your payment information in and guess what, Nah,

1989
01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 1: it's fake. The links look like they're legitimate. They tag

1990
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:52,679
Speaker 1: the schools, they tag the teams, but they're totally fake

1991
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: and they're trying to steal your personal data.

1992
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 3: So what do you do?

1993
01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:00,240
Speaker 1: Be cautious if you're looking for the game, ask your school,

1994
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, look for a verified source, right, ask someone

1995
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 1: that knows, and don't just click on any link that

1996
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 1: you see, and especially if you put in your credit

1997
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:10,840
Speaker 1: card information, do not do that. Now, some of these

1998
01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: things may cost money, but you know, try to find

1999
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 1: a verified source. These links could have malware on them,

2000
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: so definitely research that. Who would have thought. I mean,

2001
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:23,719
Speaker 1: look again, these scam artists just try to find anything

2002
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:26,080
Speaker 1: that we do and they put a twist on it

2003
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:27,920
Speaker 1: to ruin it for us. This is why we can't

2004
01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:31,479
Speaker 1: have nice things. This is pretty nice though. Polestar, this

2005
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,839
Speaker 1: is I would say. I've tried a lot of different

2006
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 1: electric cars. The Polestar is probably one of my favorites,

2007
01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: after the Tesla. I love the design of it. It's

2008
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:46,799
Speaker 1: owned by Volvo. Actually, Polestar two has integrated Amazon Prime

2009
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:51,280
Speaker 1: Video into their infotainment system. This lets you stream Prime

2010
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:54,759
Speaker 1: Video content while you're parked or charging, not while you're driving.

2011
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 1: The Polestar two runs Google's Android Automotive OS, which has

2012
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 1: several including YouTube ways and a web browser. So it's

2013
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:07,519
Speaker 1: kind of fun. Now you can watch you know, prime

2014
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:09,720
Speaker 1: video stuff. What's a good show on Amazon Prime? I

2015
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 1: don't know. My wife was watching What's that one this

2016
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:14,679
Speaker 1: summer I turned pretty or something.

2017
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, we should watch that together.

2018
01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:19,200
Speaker 1: Do you ever have that thing where you say with

2019
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: your partner you should watch the show and they're like,

2020
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 1: I already watched it. I already streamed that. I already

2021
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 1: watched that movie. It happened with me. I watched the

2022
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,680
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler movie on Netflix, and my wife's like, oh,

2023
01:39:28,680 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 1: we're gonna watch that together on Friday night. I said, nope,

2024
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:32,680
Speaker 1: already watched it on the plane. I feel like you

2025
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 1: really have to like converse with your spouse or your

2026
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 1: partner about like what you're watching so that they can

2027
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,360
Speaker 1: you know you're in sync, and the ones who aren't

2028
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 1: just saying probably not a good sign for the marriage.

2029
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 1: Ring the relationship I should say, you don't have to

2030
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:51,320
Speaker 1: be married. That could happen in any relationship. Ring has

2031
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:55,559
Speaker 1: a new pet tag for lost pets. It's a ten

2032
01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:57,640
Speaker 1: dollars pet tag that puts a QR code on a

2033
01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: pets callar to help reunite pets. With or lost pets

2034
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: with their owners. This is not a high tech thing

2035
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 1: like an air tag. This is literally a QR code.

2036
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 1: So you put your pets information on the Ring app,

2037
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:13,000
Speaker 1: and if someone finds your pet, the QR code is

2038
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 1: what they can scan to help connect you with your

2039
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:19,439
Speaker 1: you know, back to your pet. So what's unique about

2040
01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 1: this is that it's low tech. You don't have to

2041
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 1: charge it, you don't have to think about Bluetooth, Wi Fi,

2042
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:27,680
Speaker 1: sidewalk network, whatever. You just have to set up the

2043
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,599
Speaker 1: information on one time. And once you set it up,

2044
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 1: what the secret here is that ring protects your personal information,

2045
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 1: so your phone number is not around your dog's neck.

2046
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: Now I don't think everyone would have a problem with that, like,

2047
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,320
Speaker 1: but you know, you never know today's day and age,

2048
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 1: with all the privacy concerns, your phone number is kind

2049
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 1: of like your main thing. So this in this case,

2050
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:49,840
Speaker 1: they would scan the QR code, it would open up

2051
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 1: a page where it tells your information about the pet,

2052
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:53,559
Speaker 1: but then it says, hey, do you want to connect

2053
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: to the owner, and they would facilitate a phone call

2054
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:58,880
Speaker 1: or a text message, but all through like a secure

2055
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: messaging or calling syste them. So basically it never reveals

2056
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:04,559
Speaker 1: your information, which is kind of smart, especially if you're

2057
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 1: just not wanting your personal information out there. Pre Orders

2058
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:13,280
Speaker 1: start now. Ships on October fourth, and it's nine to

2059
01:41:13,320 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 1: ninety nine and cruise. This is the robotaxis up in

2060
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 1: San Francisco. With all the issues, they are trying to

2061
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 1: do something nice to kind of get the attention off

2062
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 1: all the weird stuff that's happening. They have a wheelchair

2063
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 1: accessible version of their driverless Robotaxi, which I think is

2064
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. So this has a retractable ramp and interior

2065
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:37,800
Speaker 1: space for a wheelchair user. They worked three years on

2066
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:41,719
Speaker 1: this and they aim to provide mobility options for twenty

2067
01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:45,559
Speaker 1: five million Americans with disabilities. This is a huge deal.

2068
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 1: We've heard a lot about how driverless cars are great

2069
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: for people with impairments. This is a huge, huge deal

2070
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 1: because someone in a wheelchair can now call this car,

2071
01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:58,680
Speaker 1: it'll drive up to them. They can get inside and

2072
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,360
Speaker 1: get wherever they want to go. So that's happening with crews.

2073
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:05,799
Speaker 1: They're going to start testing in October on closed courses

2074
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: and then twenty twenty four they'll try to get these things.

2075
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:11,599
Speaker 1: At least you know it's somewhere where they can test

2076
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:12,719
Speaker 1: these on the real streets.

2077
01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 3: But that's a huge deal.

2078
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to some of the questions that

2079
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: we got online here. Adrian says, I've saved passwords on

2080
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 1: Google Chrome and I've always been able to access them

2081
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:26,640
Speaker 1: with no problems. Today I went to view them and

2082
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:29,920
Speaker 1: none of them are there. What happened? My connection's excellent

2083
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,800
Speaker 1: with the internet, and I've tried multiple times. It's really frustrating.

2084
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 1: What's going on, Adrian. I don't think they disappeared, but

2085
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 1: I would check at passwords dot Google dot com. If

2086
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: you have them saved on Chrome, they would also be there.

2087
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: Maybe your Chrome is not sinking. That's the only thing

2088
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:45,799
Speaker 1: I can think of. I don't think they all got deleted.

2089
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 1: It would take a lot to delete all of your passwords,

2090
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:50,840
Speaker 1: So check out passwords dot Google dot Chrome and see

2091
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:53,080
Speaker 1: if they are there. If they are, then it sounds

2092
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 1: like you just need to get them back into your

2093
01:42:55,439 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: Chrome web browser by sinking them up. Jorge Dallas says, Hey, Rich,

2094
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: I hope this finds you well. I find your info

2095
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: interesting and helpful. Thanks, and your professional opinion. Is Apple

2096
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:10,759
Speaker 1: Care plus a useful additional benefit for this new iPhone fifteen.

2097
01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: Side note, if you don't want your Apple lanyard and credentials,

2098
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:16,719
Speaker 1: I'd love to have it autographed. Would be even better.

2099
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 1: So many people ask for my Apple lanyard. I got

2100
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 1: to figure out how to give that away. Do I

2101
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 1: think apple Care plus is worth it? Ooh, I know,

2102
01:43:24,040 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 1: it's like a given, everyone gets it. I come from

2103
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 1: the standpoint of whatever it costs for Apple Care a month,

2104
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 1: just put that in a savings account and if you

2105
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 1: ever need to use it, now you have a whole

2106
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 1: bunch of money towards the repair. I find that to

2107
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:38,720
Speaker 1: be a better situation because if you if you put

2108
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 1: a screen protector and you put a nice case on

2109
01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:43,840
Speaker 1: your phone, I mean, really, what do you need Apple

2110
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:46,040
Speaker 1: Care for unless you lose your device and you have

2111
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: to get a new one. But then you know you've

2112
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 1: got to have the higher level of Apple Care. So

2113
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: put the case on, put the screen protector on, save

2114
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 1: the Apple Care every month and put it in a

2115
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:58,720
Speaker 1: separate account, and when you need to do something, then

2116
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 1: you can use that money. That's what I like to do.

2117
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:04,160
Speaker 1: I know it's weird, tell Abella says on Instagram, I

2118
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:06,840
Speaker 1: enjoy listening to your show, so much, so much info given.

2119
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:11,759
Speaker 1: Thank you. Jane shared a message from her insulin pump

2120
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:14,840
Speaker 1: says it's not going to work with iOS seventeen, so

2121
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:17,280
Speaker 1: something to keep in mind if you're upgrading your phone,

2122
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:19,639
Speaker 1: if you have some sort of like medical device, make

2123
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:23,480
Speaker 1: sure it's compatible. Randall says Rich. I've been using inexpensive

2124
01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:27,280
Speaker 1: AMFM radio with wired earbuds for a long time during sleep.

2125
01:44:27,320 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: I haven't been strangled by the wires just yet. Just sharing,

2126
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:36,760
Speaker 1: no problem if it works for you, and let's see. Uh,

2127
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,240
Speaker 1: Gail says I. Good afternoon. I'm getting my chores done

2128
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:42,280
Speaker 1: and listening to your broadcast. Oh my god, I can

2129
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 1: no longer listen without a pattern paper. So much information

2130
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 1: what Facebook, messenger scams, bbbscam information scamspoter dot org. Haven't

2131
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:52,760
